NetTools-Ping, TraceRoute, NsLookup, WhoIs, Nmap, Snmpwalk

[streaker69]

My second plugin. Since it seems as though the old Network Tools plugin is no longer being updated, I decided to write something from the ground up. This is not a re-write of the existing plugin.

With this plugin you can Ping, TraceRoute, NsLookup, WhoIs, Nmap and Snmpwalk from your Cacti box. For those that aren't familiar with doing these types of things from a webserver, your Pings and Traceroutes will originate from your Cacti box, not from where your client machine is.

I've tested everything out on my box and it all works as the apache user under CentOs 5.2. Obviously you'll need all these tools installed on your box for them to work.

Install it the way you would any plugin, chown the directory and go to Settings -> Misc -> Nettools and enter in all the configuration settings.

Questions or comments, please post them here.

Some minor bug fixes that were found.

If you're having issues with some of the tools running from their default locations, you can copy the binary files of those tools into the ./plugins/nettools/bin directory and then chown -R those files to your user that runs your website.

Update your paths in the settings if you do that otherwise it will still call the binaries from their original location.

I've found that works with all the tools except for Ping, so leave ping in it's default location.
