Complete cacti configuration for CentOS Installation

I. installation environment: System Version: Centos 5.3 64-bit here cacti: http://www.cacti.net/downloads/cacti-0.8.7g.tar.gz、official installation :* * LAMP environment deployment:

 
 

  
  
Here is how to install LAMP in yum in 5 minutes:
  
  
Yum install httpd mysql-server php-mysql-y
 
 

1. Install the corresponding lib library before installing rrdtool:

 
 

  
  
yum install cairo-devel libxml2-devel pango pango-devel –y 
  
  

  
  
tar xzf rrdtool-1.4.5.tar.tar 
  
  
cd rrdtool-1.4.5
  
  
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/rrdtool/ 
  
  
make
  
  
make install
  
  
ln -s /usr/local/rrdtool/bin/* /usr/local/bin/ 
 
 

2. Install SNMP:

 
 

  
  
tar xzf net-snmp-5.4.3.tar.gz 
  
  
cd net-snmp-5.4.3 
  
  
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/net-snmp/ 
  
  
make 
  
  
make install 
  
  
ln -s /usr/local/net-snmp/bin/* /usr/local/bin/ 
  
  
cp EXAMPLE.conf /usr/local/net-snmp/share/snmp/snmpd.conf 
  
  
/usr/local/net-snmp/sbin/snmpd -c /usr/local/net-snmp/share/snmp/snmpd.conf 
  
  
echo “/usr/local/net-snmp/sbin/snmpd -c /usr/local/net-snmp/share/snmp/snmpd.conf” >>/etc/rc.local
 
 

Here I actually use yum install net-snmp-y to install it. 3. Install cacti

 
 

  
  
Tar xzf cacti-0.8.7g.tar.gz & cp cacti-0.8.7g/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/cacti
  
  
Next, create a cacti database and configure it as follows:
  
  
Mysql-uroot-p enter your password to enter the database, and then create the database:
  
  
Create database cacti; create a database
  
  
Grant all on cacti. * to cactiuser @ 'localhost' identified by '000000'; create a user and authorize
  
  
Flush privileges; refresh permission
 
 

4. After configuring mysql, import the cacti data to the cacti database:

 
 

  
  
Mysql-ucactiuser-p cacti </usr/local/apache2/htdocs/cacti. SQL
  
  
Enter cacituser's password 123456.
 
 

5. Add the following to crontab: */1 *****/usr/bin/php/var/www/html/cacti/poller. php 3. After the above configuration is complete, we can directly install it. Access http: // server ip/cacti/install/index directly. php. If an error is reported, the problem is solved: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings php.

Iv. cacti Optimization

When we have thousands of servers and a single cacti server is slow to check, what should we do? In this case, we can consider optimizing the mysql database, creating indexes, and using the spine training method!
