Public bug reported:
I've recently finished setting up a brand-new installation of Cacti
0.8.8f+ds1-2 on Ubuntu 15.10 and believe that I've uncovered a data
validation bug when modifying data sources. (The same error probably
exists elsewhere in the code, but I haven't verified it.) Everything
works as expected, except I cannot save any changes to my data source
name (for example).
To reproduce the problem, I go to Console -> Data Sources, then pick one
of my existing data sources to Edit. (In my case, I selected a Cisco
device that's working as expected, is being properly polled by SNMP, and
is graphing just fine.) I select an interface such as Gi0/0. Going down
to the "Supplemental Data Template Data" section, I tried changing the
"Name" field from the default "|host_description| - Traffic -
|query_ifIP| - |query_ifName|" to a constant string "Primary ISP" (with
no special character, without the quotes, etc.). When I click the SAVE
button at the bottom right, I receive red text at the top of the window
that reads "Error: Save Failed: Field Input Error (Check Red Fields)."
No fields appear in red, and there are no issues with any of the visible
data.
If I then leave the screen and come back to it, it appears that my
changes have been saved on this screen -- despite the earlier error
message! -- but the new information that I entered doesn't appear as
expected when I'm looking at the device graphs, device trees, or any
other place in the Cacti UI.
I tried something even simpler: open a data source (as above) as if I'm
going to edit it, but make no changes at all. When I click SAVE, the
error message appears as above.
