cacti Cacti Interface Operation Status

Cacti should contain interface operational status DS and graph template by default

@jdcoats, can you be more specific?

I’ve had a really old installation (over 10 years) and decided with all the errors and issues lately since upgrade to 1.x I decided to start over from scratch. I’m making progress through rebuilding (with lots of table exports) but when the time comes to create thresholds for interfaces there is no native interface operation status available in snmp interface statistics on a new install. I guess I need to install it myself like I did back 10 years ago or so. It seems to me that after 10+ years that there would be more default DS and graph templates made default after install. Especially after the big jump from 0.x to 1.x. There have been so many contributions over the years, it just seems logical that some of these would make it into the native install. Sharing the contributions and making the system more full featured out of the box.

The interface operational status was a really basic example. But so May contributions have been made. Netscaler stats, Cisco ASA, APC UPS, Cisco Wireless Conteoller, and more. It’s just a suggestion to make them part of the native install. When you google cacti templates it produces the current 1.0 official templates but most of the contributions over the years are not for the 1.x version yet. This is/could be causing enormous post upgrade issues.

Understood guys, but we need some help here. Between Mark and myself, we are only two people. What I would suggest is that the two of you team up and start creating pull requests with what you think are well structured Device/Host Templates. Place the Template XML files into a 'templates' sub-directory of the install, and any scripts and resource XML in their designated directories.

Then, Mark or I can merge them and subsequently create package scripts after we have audited your work. We really need this help as we don't have access to the same equipment that you guys do.

I really hope you take us up on this offer.

More specifically <path_cacti>/install/templates

Feb 07 '19 13:02 cigamit

We are hoping at some point to release our packaging plugin. Again, there is only so much time in a day, and we are only a small but agile team.

Feb 07 '19 13:02 cigamit

If you would like to take this on. Create an Issue for each Device Template that needs to be migrated. This is your wish list, and then assign them to the same projects as this ticket has been assigned. After that, you know what to do.

Ive been trying but don't do xml well. I'm having a hard time with it for sure.

Feb 08 '19 17:02 jdcoats

The right way to do this is import the one you want first, then import the default again choosing to prune. We will have a feature out soon that will allow you to select the specific templates to import. Either way, there should be no hand editing of the XML if you follow the steps above. Yea, it's a pain, and that is why it is going to change.

That was definitely easier than what I was attempting. Here it is. InterfaceStatus.zip

Feb 09 '19 16:02 jdcoats

Can you do it in a pull request?

Feb 09 '19 16:02 cigamit

@jdcoats It's interesting Can you do it in a pull request?

I would like to help with this. I was thinking about this earlier.

Is there any list of requested templates or shall I choose?

Jun 16 '19 18:06 xmacan

Is here any progress? I would like to add few device templates (aruba, esxi, ...) to cacti installation. Cacti is great but a lot of useful templates is missing after fresh installation.

May 22 '20 12:05 xmacan

@xmacan, we are working on a few things that you will be very happy with. Please give us just a little more time to work though things.

I too am hoping for an aruba ap template

Jun 23 '20 18:06 KnoAll

@KnoAll - I created template for Aruba instant cluster and for Aruba controller too. Which version you need? It is first version, I need betatesters :-)

Jun 23 '20 19:06 xmacan

I would be happy to test. I only have the Instant Cluster

cacti_host_template_aruba_instant_cluster.zip

Jun 24 '20 08:06 xmacan

The zip appears to be missing the data query. aruba_instant_ap_stats.xml

Jun 24 '20 16:06 KnoAll

resource.zip

Jun 24 '20 18:06 xmacan

OK, getting some graph stats now.

Question, Should this only need to be pulled from a single device for an entire site? It will grab stats on all items for all APs?

Jun 24 '20 18:06 KnoAll

Right way is query Virtual controller AP. I haven't tested query any AP. Virtual controller AP gives me information about all APs in cluster. If you have any question, please write me to [email protected]. This issue is for different thing.

Jun 24 '20 19:06 xmacan

I know this is an old thread, but I installed this today and it is missing the scripts ss_aruba_instant_ap.php and 'ss_aruba_instant_ap.php

This one is mostly done now, but I have to repackage everything before release.

Closing this one now.
