ehuk Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I guess this has turned into vaporware.. what a shame.No updates here and none on his site forum I really hope this is not the case...although its looking likely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyday Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 It's not so much integrating the graphs but we also want to be able to bill for bandwidth overage. We can do that with ubersmith now and its the only thing really keeping us with them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XN-Matt Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Bandwidth overage is fairly easy. We didn't go down the cacti route (although we do use that as a backup for disputes). rtg is great as it stores everything to database and then you run your own calculations from it and then run another script to work out what bandwidth the customer should have from a custom field, compared to what they have used and then use the WHMCS API to bill the different if required. Graphs are not as pretty as cacti - but it works... here is a screeny from our beta install. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everyday Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Is that something you made as a plugin we could get our hands on? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XN-Matt Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Unfortunately not. We just coded it in plain PHP, with a few other scripts doing cron runs and per hour usage stats. It took us less than a day to roll it out and a few more hours tweaking. http://rtg.sourceforge.net/ http://www.mu.org/~billf/yrtg/ Will say that rtg dev is very slow, even non-existant.. but it works. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everyday Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 We've doing some things with rtg and mrtg for a while now. Just didn't want to have to code something for this purpose. I was hoping to find a module ready to go since its all we need to move to whmcs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XN-Matt Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I'd say that rtg might be the better bet out of those two simply due to the DB storage. Unless you know of a way to store MRTG data to DB? Not sure you'll find a plug and play rtg/mrtg solution right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlogsAbout Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I dont understand why WHMCS doesen't already do bandwidth overage charging. I don't care about the other stuff just bandwidth overage charging. If anyone has a solution internally that I could roll out I am more than happy to pay for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
othellotech Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 If anyone has a solution internally that I could roll out I am more than happy to pay for it. major hints ... after the daily cron job runs, have your own script fill in the BW fields in tblhosting from your chosen system - cacti, rtg. mrtg, basic-snmp, random-number-generator etc then compare transfer/bw usage to plan size - email out "you need to upgrade or pay extra" emails add monthly cron job to use api and create invoices for those overquota (i.e still ended up > plan size) when some of our 57 other projects finish we might finish writing it as a generic module ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehuk Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Thanks for the hints Rob I have now managed to get Cacti integrated (live) but using a completely inefficient script which requires updating with every new customer (Similar script to my original on the Cacti thread). I gave up working hoping something would have come out of this module! Shame really. I guess its back to the drawing board for a custom solution. Next step would be to sort out APC Reboots, then rDNS entries, I guess we are all on our own here. :-( 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
npTechnologies Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 We have cacti graphs integrated into the client area using a custom field from the users account. We just load the graph id as a custom field for each product/service and then the graph that belongs to that product/service will display under their product details in the client area. Works very nicley with only a little code added to one page in the template area only. I solicited Matt's help on this to figure out how to get this to work for us. VERY interested in the APC integration though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerson Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Those of you wanting APC reboot should contact Matt. He helped us get it setup very reasonably. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
othellotech Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I have now managed to get Cacti integrated (live) but using a completely inefficient script which requires updating with every new customer cacti the switches, out put the graphs, put the switchport as a custom field on the server products - as for "management purposes" you need to know that anyway no changes on a client by client basis then ... then rDNS entries custom field on your ip address product the client can fill in, cron job to read them, append the SOA, set the serial to today, write as text and rndc reload ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinsigner Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Dear All, At the moment I am modifing our cacti script to display graphs and bill clients for bandwidth overusing for commercial usage. The modification will be that it is going to be very easy to implement it in whmcs. I am even willing to throw in our apc.class. Friday I will present the system and the price for it.

zoilodiaz Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Hello Justin, I'm waiting for see your module for whmcs for bandwidth overusing for commercial usage. tomorrow you go to post ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hostserve Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 hmmm... sad.. sounded like the perfect module... I'd be willing to pay for this module as well if someone was willing to go out there and build it :-D 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
