Allow Graph Export: is missing - still not solved

Post by themetman »

I have just upgraded to Version 1.1.12 and am having all sorts of problems.
my graphs are being created, I have no errors in the logs.
I CANNOT find the option to allow export of the graphs. There is no option in the Management->Graphs->[GraphName] about export
can someone Please tell me where they have moved to.
I have even checked

Code: Select all

Configuration->Settings->General->Automation->Enable Automatic Graph Creation
and

Code: Select all

Configuration->Settings->General->Automation->Enable Automatic Tree Item Creation
but no difference.
I cannot even find where you put the folder for graph export.
I suspect I am going to have to make a note of all my entries and reinstall the database from scratch..........!!!! Not Nice!!

The Graph Export functionality was broken out to its own plugin.

I cannot get the plugin to be recognised
I have created a folder /var/lib/cacti/plugins with permissions drwxr-xr-x 3 cacti cacti
I have git cloned the repository and renamed it to gexport.
Nothing shows in the Configuration->Plugin Management

What am I missing here?

OK I put it in the wrong location. I have moved it to
/usr/share/cacti/plugins/gexport but the plugin is STILL not found!!
I have even restarted Apache.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

here they are

Code: Select all

drwxr-xr-x  3 cacti  cacti    4096 Jul 29 18:36 plugins
and inside the plugins folder

Code: Select all

drwxr-xr-x 4 cacti cacti 4096 Jul 29 18:22 gexport
-rw-r--r-- 1 root  root    44 Jul  5 02:33 index.php
and then in side the gexport is all cacti:cacti
Then....
Well, Well, Well.... I loged into my installation again this morning, and the plugin is found.
Perhaps I should have logged out and logged in again.
However Where is the option to export graphs. I have logged out and back in again, but cannot find it.
I have looked in the tree, sites, graph templates, settings, everywhere!
The plugin is enabled (green tick)
This is so frustrating, should be simples.

I have now upgraded to Version 1.16 and I still cannot find the Graph Export.

You have to give yourself permissions. Then option under utilities.

Sorry to keep on with this, but I would really like to get it going. I have spent all day on this, I have done a clean install of Cacti 1.16
Now I have the gexport plugin showing, and I have configured it. see the attached file. I have only one site and that is what I chose in the configuration.
I have the Site with the Local Host attached as a Device to it, creating 5 graphs, and the poller is working using spine every 5 mins. and the graphs are showing fine in the browser
I have set the Log Level to HIGH, there is nothing being exported by gexport at all.
Permissions on the folder are

Code: Select all

drwxrwxrwx  2 apache cacti    4096 Jul 30 12:39 cacti_graphs
I have even created a cacti user in the console and allowed all permissions on that user. also got that user as the 'Effective User' in the gexport settings.
I have done a manual export which works.
gexport shows the schedule to be Periodic the next start time in the past!!! It is 07-30 19:33, Enabled 'Yes' and Status 'Idle'
Why is it not exporting with the poller?
