 Posted: Mon Mar 06, 2006 5:26 pm Post subject: Management -> Devices view else where. |
 |
|
Is there, or can there be a way to get the information displayed in the Management -> Devices view within Console, viewable somewhere besides console?
Reason being, I would like to give users this information:
Description, Status, Hostname, Current (ms), Average (ms), Availability
But, I do not wish them to have access to add/remove devices and anything else they may be able to do via the console.
Anyone?
Thanks.

Actually, I was looking for this information (I have attached a pic). Well, besides the ability to delete/add, or otherwise do anything with the devices.. Just a view to see the devices you have, there IPs, Hostnames, and the reliability information.

This is not such a big deal, but someone will have to port it into a plug-in at this point as we are pretty much feature complete for 0.8.6.

It's amazing what seems more appealing when you're supposed to be working on your own code...
Here's a quick plugin to give you a Devices tab. You need to give users the right to see it (in User Management). It's basically the Devices page from the console with a lot of stuff ripped out. As a result, you lose the images for the filter and clear buttons, unfortunately, but they do still work.
You'll need Cigamit's Plugin Architecture. http://cactiusers.org/
Enjoy.

VERY COOL!!! Thanks Howie! Only one problem so far:
The requested URL /plugins/devices/host.php was not found on this server.
Any thoughts? Thanks.

Yes - I'm thinking "don't click that". 
I guess I missed that one out. Unless you expected it to do something? As it stands, it's trying to go to the Devices.Edit page, which I thought was exactly what was not required?
Here's 0.2 with a one-line change. Now that link goes to the Graph Preview mode, with that host as the filter (if you see what I mean). |
Nice, one down...some??.. to go  .. The problem happens when I click on the "next" link, or try to use any of the filtering. It trys to load the /plugins/devices/host.php page. The "next" link is the important one, because I have more than one page of hosts to look at.. Sorry for the trouble, and thanks for the work, this will be a cool addition. Just a suggestion, but it would also be cool if this could be the default view - meaning that when the user logs in they get this view; and not have the console tab there at all. I know, I am asking alot . Great job though, and thanks again.

| Actually, after further thought, you know what would be nice? If Cigamit could change the view on the Thold plugin to encorporate this info!! It already has the host up/down status, and it even puts the downs at the top which is cool. If he were just to add the other info (which I don't know how difficult that would be) - I think that would be the best of all worlds! But, a devices tab would work as well, just a little duplication of information - no biggy. Thanks again, and BTW, what are your thoughts?

*shrug* You could argue the same for Monitor, which also lists the same things. Monitor is more in the same vein as a Devices tab too. I don't use either at the moment, so I don't really care, to be honest We have a perfectly OK[*] monitoring system outside of Cacti, and the threshold stuff I'm really interested in is the BWPREDICT stuff in rrdtool 1.2.x, which won't be in Cacti until 0.9.x as I understand it.
[*] What's Up Gold - it's only OK, not great.

| Ok, so would you happen to know off hand what needs to be modified in your current device plugin to get the "next" links to work? Thanks again.

One more go then... This is working for me now (my test Cacti only has a couple of devices in it, so I didn't think of the page buttons).
