Post plugin logging
Jimmy, can the plugins log to cacti.log as well? I scanned my cacti.log, but was unable to determine if they did

They can, they just have to use the appropriate function call to do so. What exactly are you wanting it to log, and I will see about adding it.

I guess I am looking for some debugging info when the plugins don't work

For example: The mac_track (from beta3 CD) shows "error" for the condition under the device. In the course of troubleshooting, it would be great to know more details of the error.

PS. Hows' the CD coming along? My offer for host space & bandwidth still stands if you want it

A lot of the plugins, including Mac Track will display plenty of debug info, but only if you run the poller manually. I have been working on placing more debug logging into my plugins, the next version of a few of them actually incorporate spitting out to the cacti log, when set to Debug.

I'm not sure really at this point if I need the extra bandwidth or not, as it is now, I barely using 50G/month which is only a 20th of my limit, but that may skyrocket when the CD is officially released. I hope to have Netflow completely integrated by Tuesday, so when that is done, then we will be one step closer to release, as there isn't much other than that, that I want to add.
