Cacti 0.8.6d Out

Post by **raX** » Tue Apr 26, 2005 8:19 pm

Cacti version 0.8.6d has hit the streets! As with the last version, this version is mainly just a bug fix release to keep things moving while the next major release is being developed.

The release notes give a good rundown of the important bug fixes. It is definitely worth noting that we made a serious effort to support the new RRDTool version 1.2 in this release. None of the advanced features in RRDTool 1.2 are supported yet, but at least you can get some pretty anti-aliased graphs now

. Lastly, an experimental spike suppression algorithm has been added to the PHP-based poller. I would be interested in getting some feedback on the success of this particular feature as it is difficult to test this sort of thing under all possible configurations.

As usual, you can grab this version on the downloads page.

Below is the complete changelog:

Code: Select all

-bug#0000416: Speed up binary net-snmp calls by removing MIB lookup requirement.
-bug#0000434/#0000403: Allow for periods in script return variable names.
-bug#0000436: Made snmp.php more like version 0.9 code base.
-bug#0000419: Fixed session initialization problems with some browsers.
-bug#0000394: Fixed a web server crash when reordering items in a graph tree.
-bug#0000390: Remove deep linking in Cacti.

Very nice!

Is anyone working on Fedora RPMs? FC3 in particular?

Yes, I'm being lazy. Worse still, my next question will be about a matching cactid.

I wanted to do this, but I don't have a Fedora Core 3 box at home anymore

. Anyone have one lying around so I can build these RPMs? In the future, I need to setup my copy of VMWare with a bunch of Linux distros.

Wernicke,

Big discussion with Tobi on this one right now. I expect a patch in the next few days/weeks.

Omg, the Return of the Drops!

5 % is dropping randomly after upgrade, another 5 % is not showing at all.. The rest of the graphs is perfect.. Very Strange

Wernicke · Post by **Wernicke** » Fri Apr 29, 2005 4:22 pm

hm. even more strange. If i run poller.php manualy, all graphs are updated, but if it's run through crontab, some graphs are unstable. Cant find any error messages in the debug log either

Updated php,rrdtool,net-snmp,cactid to the latest version.. Did not help at all
