STATUS plugin - Alternative version of devices for 0.87b

*Version 4* - August 2008

Update: I have repackaged status to a version that works on my PA2.1. It may include small changes that make it work for others. Highly recommend moving to PA2.1 if you are on PA2.0.

This is an updated repackaged version of Howie's plugin.
I have renamed it "Status" (with his permission).
It is simply a user-oriented view of device status from the inbuilt cacti db.

This version is specifically for 0.87b since it takes advantage of new features. Here's a rundown of changes:

1) whole row changes color with status - great as a poor mans monitoring tool
2) Optimised for users without console access - empty console menu is never displayed
3) Added sorting, paginating and filtering functionality from 0.87b
4) tab goes red when you are in status window
5) Takes advantage of some new status's
6) Default view of "Not Up"

I developed it on PA2.0 so have not tested if it works with earlier plugin architectures.[/b]

Hi,

Should there be host.php in the tar?

/plugins/status/host.php?host_status=-1&host_template_id=-1&filter=

Cheers

One note, the Host hyperlink should goto the following, maybe even two things:

1) Syslog for the host
2) Graphs for the host

Also, add a percent sign after the availability number in the table..

When I talk about "Graphs" and "Syslog", something like the attached.

Anyone have this plugin working ? When I change anything in the drop down list, it looks for host.php in the same directory, which doesn't exist. I note that there is a post where someone else complained of this, and there was a mention from the author that it would be corrected...?

Thanks

I have updated the original post with the fixed version - no new features yet.

Changelog:

7) Fixed reference to host.php

Version 3 of Status is now up. Changelog:

8 ) Filter variables (Status, # Rows, Host Template etc) are now remembered separately from the other pages in Cacti that also use these settings. This is handy since you don't want to see only "Not Up" devices in Console like you might in Status.

9) Each host now links to graphs for that host

10) There is a global setting under "Misc" that enables you to choose List or Preview mode for Status (it's not possible to implement tree view easily)

11) Removed nav link to Console which is not appropriate for all users

12) Added "%" to Availability column header

13) Removed unnecessary html file

Sorry, but this doesn't work for me:

When clicking the STATUS tab, I am greeted with:

Notice: Undefined index: mapping in C:\wamp\www\Cacti\lib\functions.php on line 1637

Also, when changing the status drop-down list, the plugin still looks for host.php, as shown below

http://<cactihost>/cacti/plugins/status/host.php?host_status=1&host_template_id=-1&filter=

Thanks

Hrmmm, what versions of cacti and PA are you using?
Could you provide me with screenshot of both problems to help?
cheers
