You should create a plugin out of this and make use of the api hook:

api_plugin_hook('console_after');

that's why it's in there.

Thanks.

That way you don't have to worry about version upgrades and maintenance of the index.php file :-)

there is an error in the script setup.php.

This on line 57:

Code: Select all

        // all
        $sql  = "SELECT * FROM thold_data ";
should be this:

Code: Select all

        // all
        $sql  = "SELECT count(*) FROM thold_data ";

ciao

Hi,

I thanks you for your page. There is a couple of months i had the same wish and the same need.

As you can see in attached file i redo the index.php adding some tools like graphs.

Best regards, Christophe.

Hi Christophe,
please give me your code and I will try to join your work to this plugin ... or we can do it together.
I have only one new idea for intro page plugin - add simple graphs Top X - for top X device with the biggest CPU load, memory utilization, ...
I sight this on HP iMC NMS and I think that is very usefull.

Of course, you can build your own plugin, it is easy. You can use my plugin as example.

hi,

the code is attached.
In this code you can find:
> 1 pie chart for monitored host states (UP; Down; Unknown ; Recovery)
> 1 pie chart for threshold states (Normal; triggered; breached)
> a thumbmail for a weathermap
> 7 rows for current administration:
>a list of devices in dooble
>a list of hosts in dooble into the tree
>a list of hosts witch have no graphs
>a list hosts witch are not into the tree (orphan hosts ; a specific need due to multiple administrators)
>a list of host not monitored
>a list of devices discovered and ready to be added
>a list of hosts with a bad timeout (a specific need)
> Statistics (number of hosts ; nb graphs ; nb thresholds)

All the charts and list have hypertext link to go directly where you need.

The page camembert.php is not mine ; the autor is Didier STRAUS.

@Macan : In your own page i like these features : Logs; logins and the buttons (polling finished in time ; warnings and failed logins).

Replace index.txt by index.php and camembert.txt by camembert.php ;-) It's evident.

I tried to prepare new intro page with more information. I think, that any "summary screen" is missing in cacti.
There is small preview of:
- hosts (up, down, ...)
- Thresholds (trigged, breached, ..)
- statistics of datasources and templates
- Poller statistics
- Current time check
- Failed logins
- Host without graphs, without tree, ..
- Top 5 with the worst ping response eand availability

Each value in the table is a link to the appropriate page. Everyone who have "Console permission" can see it.

Tested on 0.8.8a

Thank you for making this! Love having everything displayed all in one place with visuals :)

Thanks alot for this one,
we are just working on giving a "level 2" team access to the monitoring systems.

This will help a lot to simplify my documentation to "go to console, watch for red button."

And management likes pretty pictures too ;-)
