# Device Management
|
|
|
|
This section will describe **Device** management in Cacti.
|
|
|
|
Adding a device to Cacti can be done in a few differnt ways either via the GUI,Automation,CLI
|
|
|
|
## GUI option
|
|
|
|
To add a device via the gui first click on `Console >> Managment >> Devices` and
|
|
you will see the below device console window which will show exisiting devices
|
|
if any
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will now select the + on the top right hand corner
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you select the + otherwise known as the add device button you will see the
|
|
below screen which will ask you for device specific information
|
|
|
|
Some of the most important information about the device will be required in this
|
|
window which includes
|
|
|
|
- Device Name
|
|
- IP/Hostname
|
|
- Template i.e Cisco,Linux etc
|
|
- SNMP information
|
|
- Device Notes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cacti requires this basic information to be able to monitor the device and once
|
|
entered, click save on the bottom right corner. With the device created you will
|
|
need to add graphs for the device by clicking **Create graphs for this device**
|
|
on the top right hand corner.
|
|
|
|
## Creating devices via cli script
|
|
|
|
You can also create device by using the cli script located at /cactidir/cli/
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
usage: add_device.php --description=[description] --ip=[IP] --template=[ID] [--notes="[]"] [--disable]
|
|
[--poller=[id]] [--site=[id] [--external-id=[S]] [--proxy] [--threads=[1]
|
|
[--avail=[ping]] --ping_method=[icmp] --ping_port=[N/A, 1-65534] --ping_timeout=[N] --ping_retries=[2]
|
|
[--version=[0|1|2|3]] [--community=] [--port=161] [--timeout=500]
|
|
[--username= --password=] [--authproto=] [--privpass= --privproto=] [--context=] [--engineid=]
|
|
[--quiet]
|
|
|
|
Required:
|
|
--description the name that will be displayed by Cacti in the graphs
|
|
--ip self explanatory (can also be a FQDN)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To add a device using the bare minimum information would look something like this
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ php add_device.php --description=test --ip=192.168.1.15
|
|
Adding test (192.168.1.15) as "Cacti Stats" using SNMP v3 with community "public"
|
|
Success - new device-id: (45)
|
|
```
