Cacti Rest API Integration

Post by vishnubraj »

Can you add feature to guery the graph data using Rest API.. My organization uses a centralized monitoring system and they are querything the Cacti(using CLI) to gather data about the links status. It will be great if we have Rest API integration with cacti and be able to query the below values.

* list of hosts.
* List of graphs and their Graph id
* MIn, MAX, AVG value of a Graph id

This should be more than enough for now..

Have the same requests but never seems to be taken seriously.

A Restful API is currently slated for Cacti 1.3. Its been on the docket for a while, but its a lot of work, and no one else has volunteered to do it.

I would love to add this/volunteer. Just need to decide on what framework to go for (i.e. FlightPHP or others?)

What has been written so far is quite simple. We have a lot of API work to do before we introduce a full Web Service though.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?
