Feature request: bulk actions

Post by stefanbrudny »

Currently, no bulk actions are possible and please do not claim that having action for 750 at once is enough, or adding a number to an array would help :-) No, bulk management can be slow but is should be as what it says, entities are edited one by one in background :-)

Actually this remains true since my last serious visit to Cacti 10 years ago (viewtopic.php?f=21&t=54036)

I need to:
* remove tens or hundreds thousand of Tholds, devices, graphs, data sources etc
* I need to change the tens or hundreds thousand of devices settings (eg. reindexing method)
* alternatively I need Autom8 to take care about that (remove graphs, I am still not a developer, but I know the importance of CRUD...)

After 10 years nothing has changed except I have more powerful machine with 128 cores and 512 GB RAM - still I cannot delete 100k devices, search them by graph number matching a number, reindex without php cli, cmon, please!............

...how should I remove this :D :D :D :

Locking topic. Remember Cacti is a FREE product. If you would like to submit a patch or pull request then feel free. You seem to be using cacti for large installs with a very specialized use case. If it doesn't currently do what you want, then I would suggest you hire a PHP developer to customize it for your needs.

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?
