this plugin :
- monitor hosts (like dead host notification in thold plugin)
- monitors TCP services
- alerts (by email, like thold)
- log each event in MYSQL, for reporting

in the future, it will :
- monitor UDP services and windows services
- alert with sound
- alert with local syslogging

Hi gilles,

nice plugin. I get following error while importing manage.sql to cacti db:

Error 1060 at line 2: duplicate column name 'manage'

Manage option is available and after adding my hosts I see no hosts unter manage tab - only message:

0 errors !

First of all great layout and a great tool.

I get an error on the full description but it may just be a permission issue

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /www/htdocs/cacti/plugins/manage/manage.php on line 219

Suggestions
1. Make it not so over active

I downed a host and received 60 messages in a 5 min span.

2. Make it so each hosts can have unique email addresses.

3. Needs a way to add new types of hosts. (access points, phone systems, etc..)

4. Maybe a way to monitor a host by icmp or snmp individually

Thanks for the great plugin!

pumpi after you choose "manage device" you must click on the hostname and set it up for it to appear on the manage page

manage.sql is provided but you don't need to import it

tables are created via setup.php, wich is called by plugin architecture

you just need to activate plugin manage in cacti config.php and give you permissions to use it

uninstall.sql tries to delete tables after you desactivate manage plugin, if you don't want to use it anymore.

gilles.

Looks great, Windows services would be great.
Keep up the good work.

there is 2 methods to add a host :

- individually in Management : Console -> Devices -> (Edit)

- mass method in Manage : Console -> Manage

then, you must configure tcp ports to monitor (like 80 for a web server) :

i don't know why you have this error.
maybe you have it when hosts are enabled but no services are configured.
after hosts are full configured and a poller has been run, have you still the error ?

poller only alert when host status change.
eventually, if you asked for it, it will mail you, it depends of the event (up, down or reboot).
what is the text of the emails ?
have you 60 alerts for this host in Console -> View alerts ?
try to desactivate emails, if you down this host, are you still receive emails ?

easy to do in vbs or wmi, but users will need a windows box.
i surelly will do it in perl, i just need to see if there is or not ressources to do it in php but i don't think

You can also pull the Windows Services via SNMP, and whether they are running or not. See my script/template that is running around these forums.

BTW, nice plugin!
