7 Commits • 4 Features
Jul 1, 2025July 2025 highlights for Cacti/cacti: Key features delivered include Graph Visualization Improvements (adjusted default graph start time and direct URL usage by removing HTML escaping), Data Query Reindexing Statistics (timing metrics for reindexing and data_query handling), Extended Data Retention Profiles (longer retention, installer messaging about disk capacity and data accuracy), and Two-Factor Authentication Enhancements (refined enablement checks and admin reset action). Major bug fixed: Realm Name Display Bug (ensures realm 'name' is used in display). Overall impact: faster, more actionable graph data; improved data reliability and admin control; clearer retention implications; stronger security workflow. Technologies demonstrated: backend/schema upgrades, data timing instrumentation, upgrade scripts, data_query handling, UI URL-based graph access, and security/auth refactor.
