I am experiencing some problems with a very old (and my first) Cacti installation and have decided to start fresh using CactiEZ. I have it installed, upgraded Cacti to 0.8.7e, and upgraded the PIA to 2.5. However, our tech staff uses the Monitor plugin almost exclusively throughout the day to alert them to outages when the appear. I can't seem to figure out if I can use the Monitor plugin using PIA 2.5. It shows up under the plugin management menu, but has a status of "Old Plugin Architecture" and doesn't seem to run since there is no tab at the top for it.

So, is there a way to run the Monitor plugin on 0.8.7e and PIA 2.5? Or do I have to wait for it to be upgraded? Thanks in advance.

Yes you can, you have to install it the old way (add it to global.php) and then check your realm permissions.

I think I might have that already covered. From my global.php:



And my Realm Permissions for my user have all of the check boxes checked.

I've also noticed that THOLD doesn't seem to work. It says that I need to have the Settings plug in installed, but it also is installed but apparently not working. Do I need to install the old plug in architecture and then install the new one to get these plugins to work?
