Cacti 0.8.4-pre Testing

[raX]

Anyone who has been following Cacti development lately would know that I have been trying to release 0.8.4 for a little while now. In addition to the brand new XML import/export support, I took the time to restructure a lot of the code from 0.8.3a. Because of this it is very important that 0.8.4 is tested extensively before it is released.

At this point, all of the features that are currently in 0.8.4 are there to stay. I guess we'll call this the feature freeze. I have done a bit of testing myself, but nothing beats help from the user community.

If you want to help push 0.8.4 out the door, help out development by testing 0.8.4! Try fresh installs, upgrades from 0.8.x, use the XML import/export features, etc. When you find bugs, post them here or create a detailed bug report. Try and refrain by clogging up my inbox though, things tend to get buried there.

Pre-releases are generated nightly and can be found below.

0.8.4-pre for Unix
0.8.4-pre for Windows

Thanks in advance for helping out!

Running cmd.php i'm getting these errors

Can't open perl script "C:InetpubWWWROOTcacti/scripts/w32_query_logicaldisk.pl"

Turns out that the command column in the data_input_data_cache table is less than right. I ran into this problem while writing a script before, mysql won't store \'s unless they are escaped.

perl C:InetpubWWWROOTcacti/scripts/w32_query_logicaldisk.pl

worked around it by hardcoding the path in config.php

$config["base_path"] = "c:/inetpub/wwwroot/cacti";

and hardcoded the includes in cmd.php

include("include/config.php");
include_once("lib/snmp.php");
include_once("lib/rrd.php");
include_once("lib/functions.php");
include_once("lib/graph_export.php");

Changes to templated items like legend color are not being saved when a new graph is created.

If two xml files share the same input field name,

a.xml
<svcSite>
<name>SMTP Site</name>
<direction>input</direction>
<query_name>Name</query_name>
</svcSite>

b.xml
<svcSite>
<name>Web Site</name>
<direction>input</direction>
<query_name>Name</query_name>
</svcSite>

the results of the data query for both sources are merged and duplicated in both data query sections of graphs_new.php.

This is not true if these field names are different.

(I hope this makes english)

The default CDEF is Make per 5 Minutes which is causing everything to be multiplied by 300. So if you are monitoring # processes or # users the value is being multiplied by 300.

I think the default CDEF used to be None and used the value from the RRA as is. Anyway i just added a CDEF (called None) and configured it to multiply by 1.

this is what happen when i try to export a data template
