Install Plugin Architecture :
check the source directory to see what is the latest version of PA:
Then download it on your cacti server and unpack it:
cd /tmp
wget http://www.cacti.net/downloads/pia/cacti-plugin-0.8.7h-PA-v3.0.tar.gz
tar -zvxf cacti-plugin-0.8.7h-PA-v3.0.tar.gz
copy the contents of the plugin directory into you cacti directory, overwriting the original files.
rsync --progress -av cacti-plugin-arch/files/* /usr/share/cacti/.
Then make sure that this did not muck up you directories (other wise the graphs will stop being generated)
chown -R cacti /usr/share/cacti/rra
chown -R cacti /usr/share/cacti/log
chown -R cacti /var/lib/cacti/rra/
chown -R cacti /var/log/cacti/
Update the config file:
vim /usr/share/cacti/include/config.php
and make sure that it has the following modification:
/* load up old style plugins here */
$plugins = array();
$plugins[] = 'thold';
Also update the DB with the following command:
mysql -u root -p cacti < cacti-plugin-arch/pa.sql
From within Cacti's web page, under
console(1),
Utilities(2),
User Management(3), select the
Admin(4) user.
Then make sure that under Realm Permissions(1) that Plugin Management(2) is checked off.
Installing Plugins:

cd /tmp
wget http://www.network-weathermap.com/files/php-weathermap-0.97a.zip
unzip php-weathermap-0.97a.zip /usr/share/cacti/plugins/.
then markup the config file to include the app.
vim /usr/share/cacti/include/config.php
and make the following change in red: (for each new plugin, just add another "plugin" line)
/* load up old style plugins here */
$plugins = array();
