Enjoy! Feedback and especially tips on how to create better and more effective Cacti graphs are most welcome.

There are 7 types of graphs monitoring 7 distinct data groups. One can monitor on 3 levels: General (Server Global) Level, per VHost Level, and per External Application level.

Change Log:

Beta2: 7/19/2006
-----------------
Only litespeed_cacti_template.xml file has been modified. Re-import the template file within Cacti to upgrade to Beta2.

* Fixed Data Query template xml location value.
* Removed 95th percentile graphing from Traffic graphs. Cacti problem.
* Fixed Traffic graphs to properly convert displayed/graphed value to "bits".
* Update ExtApp connections graph to make it less "messy". Removed IdleConn line: redundant and obvious it is the diff between PoolSize and InUseConn.
* Updated various graphs to make the colors more consistent.

Beta1: 7/17/2006
-----------------
Inital Release

Here are 5 sample graphs.

Great stuff, thanks.

one little bug in litespeed_cacti_template.xml:

<hash_04001176d81d4e3c52dab62afa5205a9c517a2>
<name>LiteSpeed ExtApp</name>
<description>LiteSpeed ExtApp</description>
<xml_path>/xingwww/cacti/litespeed_extapp.xml</xml_path>

The xml_path needs to be:
<xml_path>&lt;path_cacti&gt;/resource/snmp_queries/litespeed_extapp.xml</xml_path>

Otherwise its looking good and the graphs are collection now.
Will look into it a little bit deeper later on.

Thank you for the feedback. We found a problem where "Plain/SSL Traffic" graphs are plotting values with the wrong conversion factor. It's coverting KBytes to KBits instead of KBytes to bits (off by a factor 1000).

A new b2 release will be released later today with the the path and traffic graphic fix.

Beta2 has been released. Added changelog to the original announcement.

Have fun!

Issue with SNMP

I keep getting the error message below when i try and snmpwalk:

SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.8888.101 = No Such Instance currently exists at this OID

When i use V1 i get no message at all. I know my config is ok b/c i can access anything else:

snmpwalk -c hhpv2 -v 2c localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1

Returns a whole bunch of info. All i added to my config was the line:

pass .1.3.6.1.4.1.8888 /etc/snmp/litespeed/sample.php

and i replaced the first 2 lines of sample.php to the following:

#!/usr/local/bin/php
<?php

Since my php does not use short tags, am i missing something here? Is there a way for me to test it via the command line and no SNMP?

Great stuff, but can't get it to work

try putting
rocommunity public

above this line
pass .1.3.6.1.4.1.8888 /etc/snmp/litespeed/sample.php
