I have a server I use for grabbing network stats. (ie snort iptraf, etc. and graphing them on a different webserver.
How can I have the cacti "process" run on one box and output to the webserver running mysql? Is there a way I can setup a command to output to the webserver? I have setup cacti on both boxes.
TIA
LINUX: Input mysql from another box?

hampton275,
This is planned functionality and not currently available via the 0.8.6 package. It will get rolled into 0.8.7 (I think) and is not a big enhancement (at least I don't think so).
You will note that there is a variable for each DS called <path_rra>, if we set that variable to the UNC path of your webserver say "\\myserver\myshare" or "//myserver/mymount" and your poller has access to that share/mount, then you should be ok polling from the second box.
Again, we have planned, but it is not implemented yet. Ian and I have debated what get's done in 0.8.7 and we are leaning to a database tune and minor bug fix release only. More to follow. This may be supported "under the covers" if you will in 0.8.7. Depends on how difficult it actually becomes.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?
