Ubuntu Dapper and Cacti

I can't get cacti working on Ubuntu Dapper Server.

   1. I tried the cacti package
         1. It installed
         2. No graph
         3. Running "php poller.php" gives an erro
   2. Removed the cacti package
   3. Installed the tar.gz version
         1. Installed fine
         2. no graph
         3. I get nothing when I run "php poller.php"

What's going on here?

Here's some install instruction for Ubuntu; most should apply to Debian as well.
Else, please search forums.cacti.net

Measuring and converting

Hi!

Do you know a solution how to convert a byte value to a bytepersecond
value with cacti?
I've a iptables script, it does only show the bytes counter not the bps.

Please help!

iptables script:

#!/usr/bin/perl
##
## This is a quick perl script to
## pull bandwidth usage from iptables chains
##
## If you use/optimize this script, please let me know.
## Brian Stanback : brian [at] stanback [dot] net
#
## Example iptables rule for web bandwidth usage:
## > iptables -N WWW
## > iptables -A WWW -j ACCEPT
## > iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j WWW
## > iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -m tcp --sport 80 -j WWW
##
## Run "iptables.pl WWW" as root to test, note that you can
## combine more than one protocol into a single chain.
##
## Sudo Configuration (/etc/sudoers)
## > www-data    ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/share/cacti/scripts/iptables.pl

Grant permissions to subtrees

Hello list,

Unless I'm missing something, what I want currently just isn't possible. 
Here's the scenerio:

Our cacti installation is used both internally and by (a few of) our 
customers. What we're trying to achieve is that we can easy grant access to 
the graphs of a specific customer to the user account of that customer. 
Ideally the graph tree structure would look like this (use a monospace font 
to easily read the 'ascii art'):

Root
  |_Customers
  |  |_Customer_01
  |  |  |_Customer_01_Host_01
  |  |  |_Customer_01_Host_02
  |  |_Customer_02
  |  |  |_Customer_02_Host_01
  |  |_Customer_03
  |_Internal_Subtree_01
  |  |_Internal_Subtree_01_Host01
  |_Internal_Subtree_02
     |_Internal_Subtree_02_Host01
     |_Internal_Subtree_02_Host02

Building up this tree isn't the problem. The problem arrises when we want set 
the tree permissions for a given user account. In the user management console 
it only lists the (sub)trees directly under the root, but not the subtrees 
below them. Furthermore we don't really want Customer_01 to see the complete 
Customers tree, since they have no business knowing our other customers even

I'm sure, that at least for HP Printers, you will find templates at
forums.cacti.net in the scripts and templates forum. Whether the work with
exactly your type of printer, I don't know.
IBM Infoprint: if you have the OIDs, I'll tell you how to graph them

Problem Polling With SNMPv3

Hello everyone,

I am having problems that I *think* are somehow related to the fact
that I'm using SNMPv3 for my polling.  I'm using version Cacti 0.8.7a
on CentOS 5 vis the rpms in Dag's yum repository (the box essentially
has a minimal install of CentOS on it with nothing else running).

In short, we are having an intermittent issue where adding new devices
or modifying existing devices causes polling issues.  I have tried
many of different combinations and have been unable to figure out a
consistent set of "if I always do this, I always get this error".
Sometimes I can add a new device or modify and existing device with no
problems, but other times adding/modifying starts to produce errors
such as:
