Cacti user manual configuration ISS and Installation

Cacti is a software implemented in php. Its main function is to use the snmp service to obtain data and then use rrdtool to store and update data, when you need to view data, use rrdtool to generate charts and present them to users.

Cacti user manual for RRDTool Installation

Expand the RRDTool compressed package to the C: \ rrdtool directory, and copy c: \ rrdtool \ src \ tool_release \ rrdtool.exe to the c: \ rrdtool directory.

Install MySQL in Cacti User Manual

Expand the mysqlcompressed package to a folder and run setup.exe
Install MySQL in the c: \ mysql directory
Run the c: \ mysql \ bin \ winmysqladmin.exe command to start MySQL
Set a password for the root user:
 

 
 

  
  
shell> cd mysql\bin  
  
  
shell> mysqladmin --user=root password somepassword  
  
  
shell> mysqladmin --user=root --password reload  
 
 

Create a MySQL database:

Import default Cacti data:
Shell> mysql -- user = root -- password cacti <c: \ apache2 \ htdocs \ cacti. SQL
(Optional) create a user and password for the Cacti database:
 

 
 

  
  
shell> mysql --user=root --password mysql  
  
  
mysql> GRANT ALL ON cacti.* TO cactiuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY ’somepassword’;  
  
  
mysql> flush privileges 
 
 

;
Install Net-SNMP

If you plan to allow any host to support SNMP v2c, you must download and install the Net-SNMP library. Net-SNMP provides an installation wizard to install their products. In any case, be careful not to use long file names, because Cacti does not support this version. We recommend that you install Net-SNMP in the directory c: \ net-snmp

Install Cactid in Cacti User Manual

Expand the Cacti package to c: \ cactid, and modify the cactid. conf file to include the following statements:
 

 
 

  
  
DB_Host IP_Address or Hostname (not localhost)  
  
  
DB_Database cacti  
  
  
DB_User cactiuser  
  
  
DB_Password cacti 
 
 

All other configurations earlier than 0.8.6 are out of date. If you keep them, Cacti may not oppose them, but they are no longer required. Cacti has now released the binary installation package. Therefore, a full installation of Cygwin is not longer required.
If you have installed Cygwin or want to install Cygwin, You need to delete three DLL files and SH. EXE files from the c: \ cactid directory.
Install Cacti

Expand the cacti package. This section describes how to expand the compressed file to the C: \ Apache \ htdocs \ cacti directory. Of course, you can specify different directories. Make sure that "Use fold names" is selected during expansion so that the required sub-directories will be created.
Edit include/config. php and specify the MySQL user name, password, and database:
 

 
 

  
  
$database_default = "cacti";   
  
  
$database_hostname = "localhost";
