information to create graphs and populates them with data in a MySQL database. The frontend is completely PHP driven. Along with being able to maintain Graphs, Data Sources, and Round Robin Archives in a database, cacti handles the data gathering also. There is also SNMP support for those used to creating traffic graphs with MRTG. The Plugin Architecture for Cacti was designed to be both simple in nature and robust enough to allow freedom to do almost anything in Cacti. The Plugin Architecture for Cacti is integrated into this package. (created from wip/cacti by pettai)

To get cacti up and running asap, you have to complete these steps:
|
|
|
|
- Install & Configure mysql-server
|
|
|
|
- Add a cacti database and cactiuser user to mysql
|
|
|
|
mysql> CREATE DATABASE cacti;
|
|
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON cacti.* TO 'cactiuser'@'localhost'
|
|
-> IDENTIFIED BY 'cactiuser';
|
|
|
|
- Add the cacti database layout (${CACTIDIR}/cacti.sql) to mysql
|
|
|
|
shell> mysql [-p] cacti < ${CACTIDIR}/cacti.sql
|
|
|
|
- Add a symlink from ${CACTIDIR}/scripts/local_memory.pl to the appropriate
|
|
*_memory.pl script (or create one if none for your OS exists)
|
|
|
|
shell> ln -s ${CACTIDIR}/scripts/netbsd_memory.pl \
|
|
${CACTIDIR}/scripts/local_memory.pl
|
|
|
|
- Install & Configure an apache webserver
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
extension=mysql.so
|
|
extension=snmp.so
|
|
extension=sockets.so
|
|
|
|
- Append this to apache's httpd.conf and restart apache
|
|
|
|
Include etc/httpd/httpd-cacti.conf
|
|
|
|
- Add the following lines to ${CACTI_USER}'s crontab
|
|
|
|
# Invoke poller.php to collect snmp-statistics
|
|
*/5 * * * * ${PREFIX}/bin/php ${CACTIDIR}/poller.php > ${CACTI_LOGDIR}/poller.log 2>&1
