New Cacti, New patches !
nov 21st, 2007 by Prune
It wasn’t too long to upgrade cacti. Download files, patch with the plugins architecture, and there you go.
The good thing is that Cacti now knows how to bind to a LDAP directory with a user, search for your user, then authenticate. In fact, it seems they re-wrote the whole authentication system. You won’t have to apply my patch for that.
The bad thing is that the Threshold plugin patch is not yet working. But you know what ? I have an updated version working with the new cacti.
You will find it on the download page or here. Refer to the first post to know how to set it up.
The tools (network tools) plugins also have problems with the new snmp function of Cacti. I modified my patch, and I will send it to the author once again, and he may modify his stupid version with it. As a reminder, the patch, not only gives full compatibility with the new Cacti snmp code, but also add this crazy feature where you keep the informations you enter in each fields when you submit. Then you can submit a second time, or just change a parameter without having to re-enter every information. Did I said crazy ? Thanks the new Web 2.0 for this as everybody is doing 
Get it here.
I was requested a zip file of the tools plugins already patched, mainly for windows users.
You can find it in the download section or direclty here : http://www.lecentre.net/blog/download/tools-0.2-patched.zip

Little chance of that now.
