We currently have two functioning versions of Cacti on this site, and several
Cacti plugins supported by The Cacti Group. Our current long lived version
of Cacti in the 1.2.x branch. The current release version of this branch
is Cacti 1.2.27.
This pending maintenance release has several bugs fixes, and significantly more
welcomed feature enhancements. You can review the CHANGELOG for the 1.2.x
branch for more information on that.
Additionally, we have the develop branch. This is now an active Development
Branch. In this branch, we as a team have re-grouped and are introducing several
new features. We hope to be able to deliver a Christmas present for Cacti
enthusiasts, which will be a Cacti 1.3.0-beta release. If you want to get
involved earlier, you can simply download the development release and knock
yourselves out. The 1.3.0 release will include everything in th 1.2.27
release, as well as several additional features from our roadmap.
System requirements vary from Cacti point release to point release. The matrix below documents the minimum tool levels for each version. With our source distribution, all the vendor included packages are pre-packeged and tested by the Cacti group, so there is no reason to use package management tools to install those dependencies.
| Dependency | Cacti 1.2.x | Cacti 1.3.x |
|---|---|---|
| MariaDB | 5.5+ | 10.2.x+ |
| MySQL | 5.5+ | 8.0+ |
| PHP | 5.4+ | 8.1+ |
| RRDtool | 1.4+ | 1.8+ |
| Net-SNMP | 5.5+ | 5.8+ |
For Cacti 1.2.x, it is reasonable to run with RHEL/CentOS 7 or equivalent. However, for Cacti 1.3.x, it would be better to run on RHEL 9 +, CentOS Stream 9+, or Rocky 9+ or equivalent as these OS versions makes PHP 8.1+ available via a DNF Stream. Of course Ubuntu/Debian is also well supported.
However, if you wish to run Cacti 1.3.x on the RHEL/CentOS 7 distribution you may be able to do so if you use the REMI distributions of PHP. You will also in this case have to build RRDtool 1.9.1+ from source, which is straightforward on any modern Linux OS such as Rocky Linux 9.x.
If you wish to take advantag of dynamic hover over Graphs, you will need RRDtool 1.9.1+. However, as of January 10, 2025, it has not been released. So, you will likely need to run the develop version until it's released. Upon release, depending on Tobi's discretion, the release may be 2.0 or some other version. So, keep your eye on Github.
Due to the recent oauth2 Email feature enhancement in the develop branch, we were forced to increase the minimum PHP version for Cacti 1.3+ from PHP 8.0 to 8.1. So, keep this in mind if you are planning to upgrade and don't already have PHP 8.2+ installed and operations.
In the sections below, you can find some important first steps before installing either the Cacti 1.2.x version of the pending Cacti 1.3.x version. Good luck and enjoy Cacti.
Most modern browsers are supported with the exception of ALL Internet Explorer versions as of Cacti version 1.2.x. Do NOT attempt to use Internet Explorer of any version with Cacti 1.2.x and above.
develop BranchWhen using source or by downloading the code directly from the repository, it is important to note that periodically, you may have to rerun the database upgrade cli script to bring in new columns. You can use the --forcever=1.2.22 option to assume you are upgrading from an earlier cacti version:
php -q upgrade_database.php --forcever=1.2.22
If you experience SQL errors in your Cacti log, please open a case in our Cacti issue tracker here. If you are following the recent development, make sure that every time you pull a fresh copy of develop you re-run the database upgrade with the --forcever option.
When Cacti was first developed nearly 20 years ago, MySQL was not as mature as it is now. When The Cacti Group went about engineering Cacti 1.x, a decision was made to force users to use the InnoDB storage engine for many of the Tables. This was done as the InnoDB storage engine provides a better user experience when your web site has several concurrent logins. Though a little slower, it also provides greater resiliency for the developers.
With that said, there are several changes that you MUST perform to MySQL/MariaDB before you upgrade, and a service restart is required. Depending on your release of MariaDB or MySQL, the following settings will either be required, or already enabled as default:
[mysqld]
# required for multiple language support
character-set-server = utf8mb4
collation-server = utf8mb4_unicode_ci
# Memory tunables - Cacti provides recommendations at upgrade time
max_heap_table_size = XXX
max_allowed_packet = 500M
tmp_table_size = XXX
join_buffer_size = XXX
sort_buffer_size = XXX
# important for compatibility
sql_mode=NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION
# innodb settings - Cacti provides recommendations at upgrade time
innodb_buffer_pool_instances = XXX
innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 2
innodb_buffer_pool_size = XXX
innodb_sort_buffer_size = XXX
innodb_doublewrite = ON
# required
innodb_file_per_table = ON
innodb_file_format = Barracuda
innodb_large_prefix = 1
# not all version support
innodb_flush_log_at_timeout = 3
# for SSD's/NVMe
innodb_read_io_threads = 32
innodb_write_io_threads = 16
innodb_io_capacity = 10000
innodb_io_capacity_max = 20000
innodb_flush_method = O_DIRECT
The required settings are very important. Otherwise, you will encounter issues upgrading. The settings with XXX, Cacti will provide a recommendation at upgrade time. It is not out of the ordinary to have to restart MySQL/MariaDB during the upgrade to tune these settings. Please make special note of this before you begin your upgrade.
Before you upgrade, you should make these required changes, then restart MySQL/MariaDB. After that, you can save yourself some time and potential errors by running the following scripts (assuming you are using bash):
for table in `mysql -e "SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM information_schema.TABLES WHERE table_schema='cacti' AND engine!='MEMORY'" cacti | grep -v TABLE_NAME`;
do
echo "Converting $table";
mysql -e "ALTER TABLE $table ENGINE=InnoDB ROW_FORMAT=Dynamic CHARSET=utf8mb4" cacti;
done
This will convert any tables that are either InnoDB or MyISAM to Barracuda file format, dynamic row format and utf8mb4. Note, that if you have been using MySQL or MariaDB without innodb_file_per_table set to on, you might be better in backing up your database, resetting InnoDB by removing your ib* files in the /var/lib/mysql directory, and after which restoring your database and MySQL/MariaDB tables and permissions. Before you take such a step, you should always practice on a test server until you feel comfortable with the change.
Good luck, and enjoy Cacti!
sudo -u cacti php -q cli/upgrade_database.php --forcever=`cat include/cacti_version`
update version set cacti = '1.1.38';
Note: Change the above version to the correct version or risk the installer upgrading from a previous version.
Cacti is a complete network graphing solution designed to harness the power of RRDtool's data storage and graphing functionality providing the following features:
Remote and local data collectors
Device discovery
Automation of device and graph creation
Graph and device templating
Custom data collection methods
User, group and domain access controls
All of this is wrapped in an intuitive, easy to use interface that makes sense for both LAN-sized installations and complex networks with thousands of devices.
Developed in the early 2000s by Ian Berry as a high school project, it has been used by thousands of companies and enthusiasts to monitor and manage their Enterprise Networks and Data Centers.
Cacti should be able to run on any Linux, UNIX, or Windows based operating system with the following requirements:
PHP 7.4+
MySQL 5.6+
RRDtool 1.3+, 1.5+ recommended
NET-SNMP 5.5+
Web Server with PHP support
PHP Must also be compiled as a standalone cgi or cli binary. This is required for data gathering via cron.
We mark the php-snmp module as optional. So long as you are not using ipv6 devices, or using snmpv3 engine IDs or contexts, then using php-snmp should be safe. Otherwise, you should consider uninstalling the php-snmp module as it will create problems. We are aware of the problem with php-snmp and looking to get involved in the php project to resolve these issues.
RRDtool is available in multiple versions and a majority of them are supported by Cacti. Please remember to confirm your Cacti settings for the RRDtool version if you having problem rendering graphs.
Documentation is available with the Cacti releases and also available for viewing on the Documentation Repository.

Cacti handles the gathering of data through the concept of data sources. Data sources utilize input methods to gather data from devices, hosts, databases, scripts, etc... The possibilities are endless as to the nature of the data you are able to collect. Data sources are the direct link to the underlying RRD files; how data is stored within RRD files and how data is retrieved from RRD files.
Graphs, the heart and soul of Cacti, are created by RRDtool using the defined data sources definition.
Bringing it all together, Cacti uses and extensive template system that allows for the creation and consumption of portable templates. Graph, data source, and RRA templates allow for the easy creation of graphs and data sources out of the box. Along with the Cacti community support, templates have become the standard way to support graphing any number of devices in use in today computing and networking environments.
Local and remote data collection support with the ability to set collection intervals. Check out Data Source Profile with in Cacti for more information. Data Source Profiles can be applied to graphs at creation time or at the data template level.
Remote data collection has been made easy through replication of resources to remote data collectors. Even when connectivity to the main Cacti installation is lost from remote data collector, it will store collected data until connectivity is restored. Remote data collection only requires MySQL and HTTP/HTTPS access back to the main Cacti installation location.
Cacti provides administrators a series of network automation functionality in order to reduce the time and effort it takes to setup and manage devices.
Multiple definable network discovery rules
Automation templates that specify how devices are configured
Cacti is more than a network monitoring system, it is an operations framework that allows the extension and augmentation of Cacti functionality. The Cacti Group continues to maintain an assortment of plugins. If you are looking to add features to Cacti, there is quite a bit of reference material to choose from on GitHub.
Cacti allows for many runtime augmentations while viewing graphs:
Dynamically loaded tree and graph view
Searching by string, graph and template types
Viewing augmentation
Simple time span adjustments
Convenient sliding time window buttons
Single click realtime graph option
Easy graph export to csv
RRA view with just a click
Support for per user and per group permissions at a per realm (area of Cacti), per graph, per graph tree, per device, etc... The permission model in Cacti is role based access control (RBAC) to allow for flexible assignment of permissions. Support for enforcement of password complexity, password age and changing of expired passwords.
Cacti supports most RRDtool graphing abilities including:
Full right axis
Shift
Dash and dash offset
Alt y-grid
No grid fit
Units length
Tab width
Dynamic labels
Rules legend
Legend position
VDEFs
Stacked lines
User definable line widths
Text alignment
