* docs: comprehensive audit, Spine poller overhaul, and technical refactor - Overhaul Spine documentation (Spine.md) with complete end-to-end guide: architecture, prerequisites for modern distros (EL8/9 CRB, Ubuntu 22/24, Debian 11/12, FreeBSD), SUID root permissions, secure spine.conf setup (0640), Web UI configuration (Paths, Poller type, Data Collectors tuning), MySQL max_connections sizing, and troubleshooting. - Fix broken links and anchors (Hardening, SNMP data queries, Hook API references). - Fix broken image reference in Sites.md (add-site.JPG -> add-site.png). - Fix syntax errors in documentation PHP code blocks, including invalid parenthesization, missing SQL execute quotes, and malformed comments in FAQ. - Fix DevOps installation commands: use config.php.dist, correct systemctl service names for MySQL/MariaDB/PHP-FPM, remove nonexistent php-json, add missing composer install, and correct Debian/Ubuntu systemd environment path. - Correct grammatical errors, repeated words, and typos across all markdown documents. - Remove obsolete unreferenced duplicate installation guides. Signed-off-by: Thomas Vincent <thomasvincent@gmail.com> * docs: correct reviewed examples and guidance Signed-off-by: Thomas Vincent <thomasvincent@gmail.com> * docs: correct guidance that disagrees with the Cacti source Verified each claim against include/global_arrays.php, lib/auth.php, lib/functions.php, host_templates.php and the Spine config parser. The notable ones: api_plugin_safe_exec() does not exist on either branch, Spine reads DB_Pass rather than DB_Password, and the CDEF special data source table was missing five entries and renamed four others. Signed-off-by: Thomas Vincent <thomasvincent@gmail.com> * docs: wrap Spine prose and fence the connection sizing formula The formula's bare asterisks rendered as emphasis, dropping the multiplication signs.

# Automation Tree Rules
|
|
|
|
This section will describe **Tree Rules** in Cacti.
|
|
|
|
Tree rules allow Automation to bunch up devices based on matches
|
|
on rules we come up with you can say bunch all Cisco devices on to a Cisco tree.
|
|
Or if you have a site where all of the hostnames start with siteb you can
|
|
have a site b tree etc see below for some examples.
|
|
|
|
To get started you will need to create a Tree rule on the top right click the +
|
|
to start a new rule you are also able to duplicate rules to make it easier as well.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We need a way to tell automation what device we are looking for
|
|
in the example above we are looking for a device with the hostname Linux
|
|
this is done via a REGEX any perl based REGEX can be used.
|
|
|
|
To test this REGEX on existing devices you can click the show eligible Objects
|
|
this will check the Devices currently in cacti for a match.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once a device is a match it will be placed on the default tree.
|
|
To change which tree the device will be placed on simply select the tree name
|
|
from the dropdown list.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We also have the option to auto create a tree based on our rule in this case
|
|
a new tree Named Linux will be created if it does not already exist.
