CactiEZ is a self installing Linux Distribution based off CentOS that sets up and configures a customized Cacti install. Everything is designed to be completely automated and working directly out of the box. This compact distro is loaded with extra features such as Syslog and Netflow data collection, Weathermaps, Reports, Auto Discovery, Router Config backup, Nagios, and much more! Both 32 Bit and 64 Bit installations are possible from the same CD.
After cacti installation and configuration are finished , there are several more steps that need to be done so that cacti can be used as simple and easy to see the live network monitoring.
For testing the way that cacti can be with the command:
prompt> php c:\xampp\htdocs\cacti\poller.php
The following message appears:
If there is no problem will be displayed message as above. To display the graphics bandwidth usage of links that we have, we need to do some configuration steps on the cacti. The Condition if we use a router or gateway-based hardware or software, whether anything OS, enable snmp service, usually on port 161, and set the community name, because it is working with cacti collect data from the SNMP service.
As already mentioned in the previous posting, cacti using rrdtool as the engine for network monitoring graphs generated by cacti. RRDTool(as network tools) is used by many network-monitoring tools. The list can be seen in here. RRDTool itself is a tool-based round robin database. Designed to handle data-based continuous-time (time series data), such as network bandwidth, temperatures, CPU utilization, memory utilization, etc. So that data can be stored in a database round robin to see its history. RRDTool tool developed by Tobi Oetiker.
Back to the installation of cacti, I use cacti version 0.8.7a, unzip cacti-0.8.7a.zip file to the directory C:\xampp\htdocs, the result is the directory C:\xampp\htdocs\cacti-0.8.7a, rename the directory to be cacti only, to facilitate the course, which will be C:\xampp\htdocs\cacti.
Then unzip the downloaded from the rrdtool website cacti. Put in the directory to C:\xampp\htdocs\cacti. Unzip cacti-spine-0.8.7a.zip to the directory C:\xampp\htdocs\cacti. Edit spine.conf, and enter data in accordance with the database that I created earlier, there are 3 components that must be our modifications, namely: database name (in this case I use cacti, user: cactiuser and password: cacti, the configuration becomes as follows:
