Log line limit

Post by Vins »

Hi,
I've noticed that in the log viewer it's possible to select more than 1000 lines to be displayed, but if you select for example 5000 no more than 1000 lines are displayed and at the end of the log it's displayed "LINE LIMIT OF 1000 LINES REACHED"...

It's happening only to me? :(

It's not a bug, it's a feature!

It's actually intentionally that way.

The max line length was 1000 in 0.8.6, then appeared 2000,3000,5000,10000 as a possible choice... no problem anyway, it's not so important

Thanks for clarifying

:)

If I remember correctly, the choice was given, but never honored :cry:

Is it possible to disable this limit of 1000 lines? Cause it's a problem for me, cause my log-file is a bit huge :P

Perhaps somewhere in the php code.


//EDIT
I got it:

open the file <cacti path>/site/utilities.php
search for "LINE LIMIT OF 1000 LINES REACHED"
You will find this:

Code: Select all

if ($j > 1000) {
   ?>
   <tr bgcolor='#EACC00'>
      <td>
         <?php print ">>>>  LINE LIMIT OF 1000 LINES REACHED!!  <<<<";?>
      </td>
   </tr>
   <?php

   break;
}
Then you only have to change the first line:

Code: Select all

if ($j > 1000) {
into:

Code: Select all

if ($j > 10000) {
And to make it perfekt, the line:

Code: Select all

<?php print ">>>>  LINE LIMIT OF 1000 LINES REACHED!!  <<<<";?>
into:

Code: Select all

<?php print ">>>>  LINE LIMIT OF 10000 LINES REACHED!!  <<<<";?>
Then save the file :P

Problem still exists as of Cacti 0.8.8a. Attached is a patch which does what reisercl suggests. It works.

Thx for the contribution.
But I'm sorry to say that it is by far better to create an entry at http://bugs.cacti.net. Those won't be skipped accidentally
