Phalek,
This looks great - a couple of questions
1. Where do we download it from
2. Will this have the ability to schedule and email reports (like the old and somewhat defunct report plugin (from Cigamit) used to be able to do) ?
Thanks
Cacti Version 0.8.8b
Cacti OS Ubuntu LTS
RRDTool Version RRDTool 1.4.7
Poller Information
Type SPINE 0.8.8b

I'll need to clean it up and add some configuration stuff to the cacti settings screen first.
I'll then package it and will upload here and/ore include it with nmidPlugins.
Update: For Scheduling and Emailing. This will not yet be implemented in the nmidCreatePDF plugin. I joined up with the reportit team to include the PDF creation as well as email support there.

I just included support for nmidSmokeping and nmidNagiosPNP.
Updated this has been removed in the march2009 version and will be added later. nmidSmokeping support has been included since 0.2
Still need a way to speed up things a bit, as image generation takes some time with the above plugins ( between 5 and 15 seconds ) ...

What are the requirements for such a plugin ?
- Scheduling
- Email Reporting
what else ? Is it enough to create reports based on the "tree-leafs" ?
any other requirements for this ?
I uploaded a new screenshot of a complete PDF Report in the first post
Please PM me if you want to test this release. Please note: You'll need to change some lines in the html_tree.php file, as cacti itself doesn't support "Page buttons"
i'm very interested about that.
can i test it?
pis possible having it on my email?
i have nagiosPnp on my server yet ....
thanks

I've created a flash video, showing the installation and configuration process. It also shows the process of creating a PDF Report.
Just as a remark, my cacti installation isn't producing any graphs so there's an error image. THis doesn't affect the PDF creation though

It's still an alpha release with very limited features. You'll need to register on that page in roder to see the Files section where you can download this plugin.
Please make sure to read the
Documentation.
And make sure you understand what you're doing.

you need to replace the original cacti html_tree.php file with the one from the tgz.
If you installed cacti in /var/www/html/cacti
then the html_tree.php file is in the directory /var/www/html/cacti/lib
