# Settings
|
|
|
|
Cacti has numerous settings that can be changed from the Web
|
|
Interface. Cacti, from it's inception desired to have as many settings
|
|
as possible to be configurable without having to goto the Command Line to
|
|
make them. While, for the most part this is still true, there are
|
|
several settings that must be configured in the config.php which we
|
|
will cover in a separate sub-section.
|
|
|
|
The standard Settings sub-tabs include:
|
|
|
|
- [General](Settings-General.md) - This is where Cacti holds a general
|
|
collection of settings that every Cacti administrator should become
|
|
familiar with.
|
|
- [Paths](Settings-Paths.md) - Mostly, this sub-tab holds all settings
|
|
that the Cacti administrator has control of. It also includes some
|
|
settings around RRDfile maintenance.
|
|
- [Device Defaults](Settings-Device-Defaults.md) - This is where you can establish
|
|
presets that every new Cacti **Device** get's by default, through
|
|
**Automation**, the CLI or though the Web Interface.
|
|
- [Poller](Settings-Poller.md) - Though most **Poller** settings have been
|
|
moved to the **Data Collectors**, some are still managed at the system
|
|
level including the poller type to use, script server and a number
|
|
of additional settings.
|
|
- [Data](Settings-Data.md) - This is where you can enable the RRDproxy
|
|
and **Data Source Statistics** collection. The **Data Source Statistics**
|
|
module allows for the saving of key metrics that are important in
|
|
dash-boarding plugins in Cacti.
|
|
- [Visual](Settings-Visual.md) - This is where you can set some preset
|
|
like **Graph** and **Data Source** title lengths, and drop-down sizes
|
|
these Visual settings are global in nature.
|
|
- [Authentication](Settings-Auth.md) - This is where Cacti
|
|
defines how **Users** are managed. There are three Classes of **Users**.
|
|
|
|
They include:
|
|
|
|
- [Local Users](Settings-Auth-Local.md) - Authentication and Authorization
|
|
all handled in Cacti. This means passwords are stored locally using strong encryption
|
|
- [Basic Users](Settings-Auth-Basic.md) - Authentication outside of Cacti,
|
|
for example SAML2, TACACS+, NIS, etc.). Authorization remains in Cacti
|
|
- [LDAP Users](Settings-Auth-LDAP.md) - Authentication outside of Cacti,
|
|
either LDAP or Active Directory. Authorization remains in Cacti
|
|
- [Multiple Domains](Settings-Domains.md) - Multiple Authentication LDAP or
|
|
Active Directory Domains with their own Authorization User Templates.
|
|
|
|
- [Performance](Settings-Performance.md) - This is where Cacti's `Boost`
|
|
functionality was moved to. Cacti's `Boost` module allows Cacti to
|
|
scale to systems with over a million **Graphs** and **Data Sources**.
|
|
- [Spikes](Settings-Spikes.md) - This is a built-in tool for killing
|
|
spikes on graphs in a scheduled fashion. It also holds system level
|
|
spike killing defaults.
|
|
- [Mail/Reporting/DNS](Settings-Mail-Reporting-DNS.md) - This is where
|
|
Cacti saves settings associated with these three services, for example
|
|
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) settings used for general
|
|
notification across all of Cacti.
|
|
|
|
In addition, to the base settings, Cacti Plugins can extend settings
|
|
for their own purposes. When a Plugin has few settings
|
|
that it uses, the Cacti Group has recommended a sub-tab called
|
|
`Misc` for those Plugins for their purposes. Most Plugins
|
|
conform to that guideline.
