Download Cacti 0.8.7

Cacti is a full frontend for RRDtool, an application that allows you to retrieve information from your network and connected equipment at set times. Cacti can clearly display this information in various graphs so that you can see the performance over a certain period at a glance. It requires an environment with MySQL, PHP, RRDTool, net-snmp and a web server with Apache or IIS. For more information, we refer you to this page and several real-life examples are via this page to look up. The developers have released version 0.8.7 with the following announcement:

Important Bug Fixes and Features:

• Fixed issue where the poller could hang on certain installations.
• Fixed Nth Percentile graphs issues when using RRDtool 1.2.15 and 1.2.18.
• Improved handling of font parameters for RRDtool.
• Fixed possible denial of service attach on graph image generation.
• Slope Mode is now selectable for RRDtool 1.2.x.
• Command line utilities for adding devices, graphs, etc…
• Multiple UI improvements to improve the user experience.
• Expanded LDAP authentication support.
• Web Basic authentication is now supported.
• Technical Support page was added to assist with common issues.
• Expanded SNMPv3 support to include encryption.
• Multiple polling intervals are now supported.
• Per device host down detection is now available.

Upgrade Notes:

Major changes to the configuration structure have been made to simplify upgrades and packaging of Cacti. The include/config.php file now only contains the database configuration for Cacti. All other code that was in the include/config.php has been moved to include/global.php. All include/config_*.php have been renamed to include/global_*.php.

Note: Script server scripts will need to be modified to include include/global.php instead of include/config.php.

Note: All third party plugins in addition to the plugin architecture will need to be updated to work with the 0.8.7 release.

From this release forward Cactid will now be known as Spine. If you are currently using Cactid, you will need to download and install Spine.
