 Posted: Wed Jun 25, 2008 10:31 pm Post subject: Plugin Architecture, Settings and THold |
 |
|
Hi guys,
I'm trying to get my testing copy of cacti to have notification functionalities, which require me to install thold.
Reading through, I realise I need Settings and as a pre-requisite, Plugin Architecture.
I install PA by copying the pre-patch files to overwrite my existing one.
Then I port pa.sql into the current cacti db.
I then load "settings" and "thold" into the plugin folders.
But doing so will cause cacti not to load (blank screen).
http error log shows the following
| Code: |
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function settings_version() in /var/www/cacti/plugins/thold/setup.php on line 74
|
I commented thold from global.php, and the site loads normally.
If I commented settings, and reinstate thold, the site loads normally too.. just that this time under "Settings", there's a Alert/Thold tab.
It is to configure the default settings.
But I don't see anywhere to configure the actual settings for threshold for my individual devices... or is it not suppose to do that?
some questions:
1) did I install the plugin architecture correctly? overwrite with pre-patch file and then insert pa.sql
2) do I need to do anything to install the plugin 'settings'? i just copied it to the plugins folder but i don't see any changes to my settings when I load cacti (without thold yet)
3) my thold shows up in settings even though settings is commented in global.php.
Is that normal? Also, where can I configure it to individual device's needs?
Lastly, in case you're wondering, I did put $plugin in proper order. i.e. settings first then thold.
thanks for your attention folks!

In your global.php or your config.php (which everone has your $plugin[] = 'thold') make sure you have added the line for Settings before the line for THOLD
*** Good ***
$plugin[] = 'Settings';
$plugin[] = 'Thold';
*** Bad ****
$plugin[] = 'Thold';
$plugin[] = 'Settings';

i did that already...
unless first letter capitalization is critical? I used all small letters...
machine at office, got to wait till monday to try
is there anything needed to "install" settings?
Or do i just copy it into plugins folder, and then just add it to global/config.php, and thats it?
Lastly, different documentation I read, refers to the config file differently.
I have both config.php and global.php.
The database connection settings is in config.php, but in global.php is where all the plugins settings are. Also, the dB config setup in global.php is default, but my app still work.
Strangely.

| Did you import the Thold.sql file? Are you using the latest versions of settings and Thold?

hi there,
thanks for the great tip! Silly me, I didn't realise there was a sql file in the folder all along!
After i ported the sql, there's a Thold tab beside Console and Graph
But on clicking it, it says it requires the 'Settings' plugin.
That is if I enter the following in the global.php
| Code: |
$plugins[] = 'Settings';
|
I think its because of the case sensitivity.
I then tried
| Code: |
$plugins[] = 'settings';
|
The site won't load (blank) at all if this is set...
No sql file for settings... so am I missing something for settings? I just copied it into plugin folder.
I am using the latest for thold, settings and plugin archietecture

|
| Does your MySql database have a settings table? Does the console tab have an item on the left that says, "Plugin Management" ?

| If you go into user management and the permissions area. Make sure admin has permissions to plugin management and Tholds.

ah strangely... it isn't selected by default.. but yeah.. i got it.
Now I have a plugin management.
Here'es the interesting thing:
in plugin management, I don't see Thold or Settings.
But currently, the thold tab is available...
but clicking on it just show
"You are missing a dependency for thold, please install the 'Settings' plugin."
strange?

My plugin management does not show Thold or Settings either, but Thold does show up without an error. Only plugins make specifically for the new PA will show up in there. I just thought the problems might be related. Somehow thold is not detecting the settings installation.
what tabs do you have when you click settings from the console tab?
