obache 8d1321c796 Import cacti-spine-0.8.8b as net/cacti-spine from pkgsrc-wip.
Originally packaged by Fredrik Pettai, updated by Nils Ratusznik and
requested with PR pkg/48436.

Spine, formally Cactid, is a poller for Cacti that primarily strives to be
as fast as possible. For this reason it is written in native C, makes use of
POSIX threads, and is linked directly against the net-snmp library for minmumal
SNMP polling overhead. Spine is a replacement for the default cmd.php poller
so you must decide if using Spine makes sense for your installation.

cacti-spine is now installed.
You must perform the following steps to make your Cacti installation
aware of it :
1/ Login to Cacti as an admin user.
2/ "Select Settings" on the menu and click the "Paths" tab.
3/ Enter the *complete* path to your Spine binary in
the "Spine Poller File" Path field and click "Save".
4/ Click the "Poller" tab.
5/ Choose "spine" from the "Poller Type" dropdown box and click "Save".
After completing these steps, Cacti will spawn Spine every 5 minutes
instead of cmd.php. If you are having problems getting Spine to gather
data, you can always temporarily change Poller Type back to "cmd.php".
