Cacti Flowviewer Help

[Singh]

Hi I'm currenty having issues with cacti and the flow viewer plugin. It keeps saying it can't find the flow-cat binary and I don't know where that is. I would appreciate if someone can help me. I am running cacti on Windows XP version 0.8.7e with PIA 2.5.

Likely due to it being designed for Linux. You may have to due quite a bit of the leg work on this one on your own, or contact Cigamit.

As far as I know (I haven't checked in years) but I believe flowtools does not work on windows at all (I could never get them to compile under cygwin). The plugin is Linux only for now.

Hello,

I have an issue working with Flowview and CACTI.

I have installed cacti in a Windows server 2008 and I have so many plugins working. I tried to use Flowview because this is exactly what I need to select some traffic by IP source or destination.

I put the flowview folder on /cati/plugins as any other plugin, from Plugin Manager, I installed it and enabled it. The flows tab appeared on my CACTI.

I was going to create a new listerner, with the correct path from my Settings->misc-> .../cacti/plugins/flowview/ but when I started a query this error message appeared: 'Can not find the 'flow-cat' binary at '.../cacti/plugins/flowview', please check your Flowtools Path Setting! '

I´m collecting data from all my devices by SNMP but I´m not sure what I´m doing bad or if it is possible use this plugin on Windows server.

Could someone help me?? I have read so many posts and some different websites and I couldn´t fine anything.

Thanks in advance.

Regards!

Your question was already answered in the post right before yours. It will not work on Windows.

Any other plugin similar to flowview to work on Windows?

Thanks in advance.
