Program ........ Monitoring for Cacti
Version ........ 0.8
Purpose ........ Simple Whats-Up-Gold replacement
*******************************************************************************/
This plugin allows you to view at a glance all your Cacti hosts, and will alert you audibly when something is down
Audible alert
Can set permissions on who can view
Can disable monitoring of a host
Install just like any other plugin, just throw it in the plugin directory,
in a folder called monitor.
Edit your includes/config.php and add it to your $plugins list, and you are rolling
To enable the faster poller, you will need to create a cron job that runs every minute
and runs fast_poller.php using the php executable
For example on Fedora Core 3, my cron job looks like
*/1 * * * * php /var/www/html/plugins/monitor/fast_poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1
If you figure out this problem, let me know!!!
Got any ideas or complaints, please e-mail me!
