Pre-work
1) Create cacti user on the Master machine of the one you want to monitor :
· Connect to HOST server
· Mysql –uXXXX -pXXXX
· GRANT SUPER ON *.* TO cactiuser@'mk-xx-1.uk.intranet' IDENTIFIED BY 'cactiuserxx';
· GRANT PROCESS ON *.* TO cactiuser@'mk-xx-1.uk.intranet' IDENTIFIED BY 'cactiuserxx';
· flush privileges;
In case of an Issue with the Firewall, do the following grant statement to allow access through the Firewall.
· GRANT PROCESS, SUPER ON *.* TO
'cactiuser'@'e1-xx.uk.intranet' IDENTIFIED BY BY 'cactiuserxx';
· flush privileges;
..
2)
To enable Cacti graphing for a MYSQL database we first need to make sure that the Cacti server can connect to the HOST server
· Connect to CACTI server as your own user
· Mysql –h[host server] –ucactiuserxx -pcactiuserxx
If you can connect, continue to step 3, if you cannot, you probably have firewall issue. Solve this before moving on.
