Remote Pollers are used to access networks that are not readily accessible to the Primary site.
The following information has been determined from Cacti's configuration file. If it is not correct, please edit "include/config.php" before continuing.
Local Database Connection Information
Database: <b>%s</b>
Database User: <b>%s</b>
Database Hostname: <b>%s</b>
Port: <b>%s</b>
Server Operating System Type: <b>%s</b>
Central Database Connection Information
Configuration Readonly!
Your config.php file must be writable by the web server during install in order to configure the Remote poller. Once installation is complete, you must set this file to Read Only to prevent possible security issues.
Configuration of Poller
Your Remote Cacti Poller information has not been included in your config.php file. Please review the config.php.dist, and set the variables: <i>$rdatabase_default, $rdatabase_username</i>, etc. These variables must be set and point back to your Primary Cacti database server. Correct this and try again.
Remote Poller Variables
The variables that must be set in the config.php file include the following:
The Installer automatically assigns a $poller_id and adds it to the config.php file.
Once the variables are all set in the config.php file, you must also grant the $rdatabase_username access to the main Cacti database server. Follow the same procedure you would with any other Cacti install. You may then press the 'Test Connection' button. If the test is successful you will be able to proceed and complete the install.
Additional Steps After Installation
It is essential that the Central Cacti server can communicate via MySQL to each remote Cacti database server. Once the install is complete, you must edit the Remote Data Collector and ensure the settings are correct. You can verify using the 'Test Connection' when editing the Remote Data Collector.
Critical Binary Locations and Versions
Make sure all of these values are correct before continuing.
One or more paths appear to be incorrect, unable to proceed
Directory Permission Checks
Please ensure the directory permissions below are correct before proceeding. During the install, these directories need to be owned by the Web Server user. These permission changes are required to allow the Installer to install Device Template packages which include XML and script files that will be placed in these directories. If you choose not to install the packages, there is an 'install_package.php' cli script that can be used from the command line after the install is complete.
After the install is complete, you can make some of these directories read only to increase security.
These directories will be required to stay read writable after the install so that the Cacti remote synchronization process can update them as the Main Cacti Web Site changes
If you are installing packages, once the packages are installed, you should change the scripts directory back to read only as this presents some exposure to the web site.
For remote pollers, it is critical that the paths that you will be updating frequently, including the plugins, scripts, and resources paths have read/write access as the data collector will have to update these paths from the main web server content.
Required Writable at Install Time Only
Not Writable
Required Writable after Install Complete
