Batch/Shell script using add_device.php

[weday0]

Can anyone help in getting some type of a batch file script or such for windows to add numerous devices using the add_device.php

Right now I have a txt file with about 300 lines, all lines are correct for entering into CLI on my Cacti instance. I just don't want to have to manually enter them one by one...

I have looked and looked, and found some of the old SOAP stuff that was used, along with a few other things but nothing for what I'm looking for.

Any assistance is GREATLY appreciated.

FYI, I'm running 0.8.7e on a Windows 2003 host.

Thanks,

Disregard, as I resolved my own question.

Nothing more than saving the script list txt file as a *.bat and running it. Not pretty, but doesn't need to be to get the devices imported in......

I would be interested to know if anyone is experiencing a similar issue as below:

Windows 2003 box running 0.8.7e
Multiple availability options chosen via GUI
Imported with the following format script syntax:
php -q add_device.php --description="rtr-a" --ip="10.10.10.124" --template=5 --community="test123" --avail="ping" --ping_method="icmp"

Problem:
Devices added via add_device.php reporting Status: Unknown

It still continues to report Unknown no matter what, I have also changed the "recovery" option to only 1 poll, so I don't have to wait 15 minutes to see if a change worked or not.....

I have tried both cmd and spine pollers, also the devices I manually added via web GUI to report Ok and report their ping times/averages....

Just curious.

found answer on another thread and tested with success.

"Here is the bottom line. You "may" not have a problem.

1) If you are running cmd.php and have not graphs created, the device remains as unknown as it is not tested since it is not polled for anything. "
