Adding Device Detailsin Cacti using CLI

[Manish Roy]

Hi Frz,

I want to know that is is possible to add Device Interface Details in Cacti
through CLI.Like i have a router (10.0.12.102 ) and Interfaces like Ethernate0/0,Ethernate0/1 etc.i need to add this interface details in cacti to genarate graph.

Please suggest me the possible steps to achive this.

The add_graph.php cli script is what you need. You should investigate how it works. I will be making significant performance enhancements to it in Cacti 0.8.7c once released in August.

I've been investigating this same thing, and I'm still having trouble finding the correct flags for the script. My goal is to use a device ID and then ask the script to graph all of the ports on that device. I'm going to continue looking, but all I can see are ways to enter one graph at a time.

I can post a nice function. Let me see about it. I will send myself a pm with this post.

Here you go. Does Regular Expression Matches as well:

Code: Select all

function add_graphs_for_dq($host, $graph_template_id, $snmp_query_id, $snmp_query_type_id, $snmp_field_name, $regmatch = "", $include = "on") {
	global $config, $php_bin, $path_grid, $path_cacti;

	/* let's see what queries are defined for this host */
	$query_types = exec_into_array("$php_bin -q $path_grid/grid_add_graphs.php --host-id=" . $host["id"] . " --snmp-query-id=$snmp_query_id --list-query-types");
	$found = false;
	foreach($query_types as $type) {
	if (substr_count($type, $snmp_query_type_id)) {
		$found = true;
		break;
	}
	}

	/* now let's create some graphs, otherwise log and error */
	if ($found) {
		$items = exec_into_array("$php_bin -q $path_cacti/cli/add_graphs.php --host-id=" . $host["id"] . " --snmp-query-id=$snmp_query_id --snmp-field=$snmp_field_name --list-snmp-values");

		if (sizeof($items)) {
		foreach($items as $item) {
			if ((trim($item) == "") ||
				(substr_count($item, "Known")) ||
				(substr_count($item, "FATAL:")) ||
				(substr_count($item, "ERROR:"))) {
				/* ignore */
				continue;
			}else{
				if ($regmatch == "") {
					/* add graph below */
				}else if ((($include == "on") && (ereg($regmatch, $item))) ||
					(($include != "on") && (!ereg($regmatch, $item)))) {
					/* add graph below */
				}else{
					echo "NOTE: Bypassig item due to Regex rule: $item for Query Type ID: $snmp_query_type_id and Cluster: " . $cluster["clustername"] . "\n";
					continue;
				}

				echo "NOTE: Adding item: $item for Query Type ID: $snmp_query_type_id and : " . $host["hostname"] . "\n";
				$command = "$php_bin -q $path_cacti/cli/add_graphs.php" .
					" --graph-template-id=$graph_template_id --graph-type=ds"     .
					" --snmp-query-type-id=$snmp_query_type_id --host-id=" . $host["id"] .
					" --snmp-query-id=$snmp_query_id --snmp-field=$snmp_field_name" .
					" --snmp-value=$item";

				echo trim(shell_exec($command)) . "\n";
			}
		}
		}
	}else{
		cacti_log("WARNING: Query Type ID ID: $snmp_query_type_id Not Assocated with Host: " . $host["hostname"], TRUE, "RTM");
	}
}

You will have to define the "globals" in the parent function.
