I would like to set up the Cacti supervision tool, but among the nodes I want to supervise that do not support SNMP. Here I thought about programming scripts shell on the nodes themselves to extract the requested output, but here I am blocked! How sent this measurement and displayed on Cacti!
Do you know a way to do it? any URL guide ? Thanks for guiding me
The Cacti manual covers this topic.
Note that the scripts run on the Cacti server. In order to execute scripts on your targets, you could create a server script which uses SSH to connect to the target (I'm assuming that if the targets have a shell environment, they're hopefully accessible via SSH). After connecting, the server-side script can execute client-side script(s) the script and relay the output back.
Additionally, there's whole directory of example scripts bundled with the source code. In particular, there's an example shell script which demonstrates outputting using the multiple field format described in the manual.
