Quick and dirty script to add devices to cacti

[ymartin59]

That script set is wonderful and powerful. And I do not find them so "quick and dirty".
I really think that scripts must be included in cacti !

Hello,

I'm trying to create "ucd/net Available Disk Space" with the command:
add_graphs.php --graph-type cg --graph-template-id 3 --host-id 8
--snmp-query-id 2 --snmp-query-type-id 6 --snmp-field dskPath --snmp-value "/"
--graph-title "grenade - Disk Space - /"

Where:
Known Graph Templates:(id, name)
3 ucd/net - Available Disk Space
Known SNMP Queries:(id, name)
2 ucd/net - Get Monitored Partitions
Known SNMP Query Types:(id, name)
6 Available/Used Disk Space

Two datasources are created for the graph but their custom data fields (index type, index value and output type ID) are not set automatically - in addition, the datasource name is "|host_description| - Hard Drive Space" instead of "|host_description| - Partion - |query_dskDevice|"

The current version of cacti only supports AuthNoPriv. In the environment I support, we enforced an AuthPriv snmpv3 policy on our servers. To enable cacti to work properly, an update to $auth_snmp in ./lib/snmp.php was done. The updated syntax for $auth_snmp now looks like this.

$snmp_auth = "-u $username -l authPriv -a MD5 -A $password -x DES -X $password"; /* v3 - username/password */

It would be great to be able to use some of these scripts to save work : )

This patch adds the ability for add_graphs.php to tell if a graph exists already even if the type is cg.

About add_tree.php, some functions weren't implemented like --list-trees ; --list-nodes...
Does somebody know if these scripts are finished today ? (I'm triing to complete them, but it doesn't work).
Thank you.

Thank you so much for writing this.
I just imported 1k devices perfectly!
On to adding graphs now

How can i use it in windows??

Here is a patch to prevent adding hosts to the graph tree if they are in the specified tree already.

Firstly thanks to Bradley et al for the php import scripts. I have written my first ever script (so don't be to harsh - comments for improvements appreciated!) to successfully transfer 1500 devices from CastleRock SNMPc to Cacti. This can be modified to read in pretty much any CSV file and populate Cacti with the Tree, Devices and Graphs all asociated with the relevant Nodes.

One question I have is when creating a CG graph, is there any way to populate the custom fields?

For example for a graph 'Host Availability' in the 'Data Sources' menu in the 'Supplemental Data Template Data' section is a 'Custom Data' field for 'IP Address'. At the moment I have to manually add the address for each device.

Awesom scripts! Really saved me a lot of work.
But I have the same problem as "stutz" above: Can someone who is smarter in scripting than me provide a way to populate the custom fields like ip address?
I also have to put it in by hand for over 1500 entries

Thanks a lot,
Schlabschi

CMDPHP: Poller[0] ERROR: SQL Exec Failed "update data_template_data set rrd_maximum='|query_ifSpeed|' where local_data_id=8787"

Thanks.

Hello,

I have a problem with script add_graphs.php. The script seems to be working properly if I use cmd.php as a poller. If I use cactid it doesn't create any new rrds.

Have any ideas?

Tnx for reply

I'm having a problem with this.. It doesn't seem to execute the queries properly when setting up. If I add a host with snmp disk graphs, when I go into the device, instead of the mount points, I see the mount numbers... Any way to fix that?
