dynamic selection of interfaces to graph

[geertn444]

Hello all,

Is it possible to make Cacti automatically select interfaces to start graphing ?
For example, when node is added, automatically graph "interface load" for interfaces with "TRUNK" or "ROUTER" in description (via regex maybe) ?

Second (advanced): is it possible to deploy graphs with Ansible but statefull ?
For example: i deploy device1/interface1 and device2/interface10 and device3/interface15

When i later change the deployment to device3/interface10 and redeploy, i want Ansible to remove the graphs of device3/interface15 and add the graphs for device3/interface10.
Is this possible ?

regards,
Geert

Hi there,

Regarding your first question, depends on what version you are running on.

The autom8 plugin has been integrated to new Cacti 1.x so you can automate those tasks.

This is an screenshot from Cacti 1.1.21

Regarding all the other question related to Ansible, no idea, but I guess you could achieve some of them with the automation rules.

So if you are running 0.8.6 I think you miss it

Prerequisites

Before you install AUTOM8, you need to have met the following pre-requisites:
Cacti 0.8.7x using Plugin Architecture V2.x. Tested using PIA 2.4
Install all patches provided with this plugin:
