# monitor
|
|
|
|
This plugin allows you to view at a glance all your critical Cacti hosts, and
|
|
will alert you audibly and via Email when a Device or Devices go down.
|
|
|
|
Some audio clips have been added to this plugin courtesy of SoundBible.com and
|
|
are licensed under Creative Commons and other Free to use Licenses. If you
|
|
create an MP3 file called 'First Order Chorus.mp3' and place it in the sound
|
|
folder, you may get a surprise if you choose to use it.
|
|
|
|
The Monitor plugin has been around for well over a decade. This very old plugin
|
|
has recently gone through major recent enhancements through it's lifetime. The
|
|
version of Monitor included with Cacti 1.0 is almost unrecognizable from earlier
|
|
versions of the plugin. It's is essentially a finished project, though if there
|
|
are any feature requests, we won't push them away.
|
|
|
|

|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
To install the Monitor plugin, simply copy the plugin_monitor directory to
|
|
Cacti's plugins directory and rename it to simply 'monitor'. Once you have done
|
|
this, goto Cacti's Plugin Management page, Install and Enable the webseer. Once
|
|
this is complete, you can grant users permission to view the Monitor tab.
|
|
|
|
It would be advisable to view Monitors email notification settings under
|
|
Settings in Cacti. Monitor is configured from the Monitor tab in Settings, and
|
|
Devices can have their Criticality in the Cacti Device Management page. Monitor
|
|
includes a Device filter to show Devices of differing criticalities.
|
|
|
|
## Bugs and Feature Enhancements
|
|
|
|
Bug and feature enhancements for the webseer plugin are handled in GitHub. If
|
|
you find a first search the Cacti forums for a solution before creating an issue
|
|
in GitHub.

|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
The proposed architectural direction for Monitor is documented in the
|
|
[Architecture Decision Record](docs/architecture/0001-hexagonal-monitor.md).
