Empty Settings Page after THOLD Installation

[okeozkilic]

Hi,

I cannot see my settings page (at all) after I check the install link on the Plugin management page. Thold tab appears up above but when I click on it I got an error log (below).

Can you please help me?

FreeBSD 9.0
Cacti 0.8.8a
Thold 0.4.9

I finally found something...

remarked the following line:
define_syslog_variables();

in file:
/usr/local/www/cacti/plugins/thold/includes/settings.php

any comments on the subject will be appreciated. I was too lazy (and happy) to search for define_syslog_variables(); function within the php files. I will do so in an hour or two, but now its time to celebrate

and the mysql error message was gone after I added a thold rule and applied it to one of my devices...

I had to do the same thing in my installations. Unfortunately I didn't really bother to look too much further into it.

Hi, Yep ended up with the same myself, Guess you guys also run PHP 5.4 or newer.

define_syslog_variables()

This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0 and REMOVED as of PHP 5.4.0.

so that seems to be why.

define_syslog_variables(), which initializes all syslog related variables. This function isn't required because the constants it defines are already defined globally. Simply removing this function call should be all that is necessary.

So I commented it out and syslog works.

[root@poller hold]# grep -ir define_syslog *
includes/settings.php: /* define_syslog_variables(); */
thold_functions.php: /* define_syslog_variables(); */
thold_functions.php: /* define_syslog_variables(); */

With syslog alert enabled:
Jul 6 09:50:20 poller CactiTholdLog[2164]: host1 - Traffic - ge-0/0/0 [traffic_in] went above threshold of 600 with 1598.1739 at trigger 1 out of 1 - http://192.168.1.60/cacti//graph.php?lo ... rra_id=all

so yeah, the solution seems to be to just comment it out.
