Automatically import data form csv file

Post by borysao88 »

Hello,

I am not familiar with Cacti solution at all. And I am wondering if it is possible to automatically load data from some CSV file? This csv file will be of course update by other system.

Thanks in advance!

BR,
Borys

You can do this.
We call this a Data Input Method; it is a script written in your favorite programming language which parses your CSV file.
1st link of my sig will explain how

Yep,

Cacti can read anything:

XML, CSV, mysql, MSSQL, json, HTML ...

as long as there's a method/way to read the data automatically, Cacti can visualize it.
