Official Host Templates

All of the Host Templates that come with the default Cacti installation have been added to the Templates page.

Each template has an image showing what CDEFs, Graph Inputs, Graph Templates, etc will be updated when you import the default template.

Template Updates

Several new Templates are available. Feel free to add your own, but please follow the standard name space. For example:

A processes graph template for a Linux Server would be at 'usertemplate:graph:linux_server:processes'
A Host MIB logged in users template would be at 'usertemplate:graph:host_mib:logged_in_users'
A QoS graph for a Cisco device would be at 'usertemplate:graph:cisco:qos'
A Nortel 8600 Switch host template would be at 'usertemplate:host:nortel:8600'

Thanks to gandalf, the remainder of the Supported Plugins have been added into the site.

The Plugin Development documentation is back as well, but it needs some updating.
