Cactiusers.org

Any general plugin arch doc I can examine, or a "blank plugin"
set of files I can play with? I'd like to take a shot at converting
or coercing an existing php app to live under a cacti tab.

In this case , I want to integrate my existing php-syslog-ng front
end into the cacti plugin framework..

Thanks

Actually, I think I already have what you are looking for. I created a simple plugin that integrates our current NTop install into Cacti. It just basically adds a tab, user permissions, and displays the NTOP URL in an IFrame in Cacti.

I will see about posting it today.

Sounds like exactly what I was looking for.

jimmy,

Is there a way that we can attempt to create plugins? I want to take cactiquery and make it a plugin. I had it working earlier, but had to reinstall cacti for other reasons, upgraded to 8.6g and decided that I want to keep all additions as plugins rather than changing actual code. that just keeps things simpler for other people to deal with later.

So my question is, is there a plugin template? Or perhaps some documentation (since none exists in the documentation area yet) that you could provide that would make it possible for people to create plugins?
