前言：
原本是想原始碼安裝的，但是現在發現還是太麻煩了，就直接通過apt-get install安裝了。
一、cacti概述
1. cacti是用php語言實現的一個軟體，它的主要功能是用snmp服務獲取資料，然後用rrdtool儲存和更新資料，當使用者需要檢視資料的時候用rrdtool生成圖表呈現給使用者。因此，snmp和rrdtool是cacti的關鍵。Snmp關係著資料的收集，rrdtool關係著資料儲存和圖表的生成。
2. Mysql配合PHP程式儲存一些變數資料並對變數資料進行呼叫，如：主機名、主機ip、snmp團體名、埠號、模板資訊等變數。
3. snmp抓到資料不是儲存在mysql中，而是存在rrdtool生成的rrd檔案中（在cacti根目錄的rra資料夾下）。rrdtool對資料的更新和儲存就是對rrd檔案的處理，rrd檔案是大小固定的檔案檔案（Round Robin Archive），它能夠儲存的資料筆數在建立時就已經定義。
二、系統環境
1、Linux ubuntu-server 3.5.0-23-generic x86_64
三、apache、mysql、php安裝

四、cacti安裝
enadmin@ubuntu-server:~$ apt-get update enadmin@ubuntu-server:~$ sudo apt-get install cacti
通過這種方式安裝會顯示依賴包

安裝snmpd

測試snmp的服務
enadmin@ubuntu-server:~$ snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0 iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0 = STRING: "Linux ubuntu-server 3.5.0-23-generic #35~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 25 17:13:26 UTC 2013 x86_64" enadmin@ubuntu-server:~$
檢視localhost的監控畫面
在配置完畢上述內容以後，正常情況下應該可以看到cacti對於自身localhost的的預設監控了。我們進入到Graphs->Tree Mode->Default Tree->Host:Localhost當中檢視對於localhost的監控，如下圖所示。
常見問題解決
問題1：cacti無法正常生成圖片
在cacti當中看不到圖片，通過Turn Off Graph Debug Mode.提示報錯如下：
'/var/lib/cacti/rra/localhost_users_6.rrd': No such file or directory
解決方法：
這是因為許可權問題原因導致的，系統無法生成相應的rrd檔案，需要我們人工手動生成，具體操作方法如下：
Console->System Utilities->Rebuild Poller Cache
