new trixbox app [trixboxGraph]

nice job! works great!

This is very very cool!

AMAZING!

yum install trixboxGraph

Installed Trixboxgraph in "packages" but when pointing browser to "http://mytrixbox/trixboxgraph" nothing comes up. Did I forget anything?
Thx! klaus

devil in the detail :) THX it works now of course!

Hello,

I installed trixboxGraph using the yum install.

However, is there a trick to get it to display anything? When I go to it, I get some options I guess but no way to display it.

Does it display automatically?

I do notice then on lower right side "select * from ringgroups => Table 'asterisk.ringgroups' doesn't exist"

What does that mean and how do I fix it?

I do not have ringgroups enabled on my box....

This is very nice and I think this could be a valuable tool for TB users. I was waiting for someone to do this :) I was using Switchvox for a few years until I heard about TB. I Installed TB and haven't gone back :) But there were a few things that I liked about the user interface with the "other guys"... was the ability to have a nice GUI so you can easily look at your Asterisks records/extensions, IP's, calls in/out, who's is talking now and more.
Could we make a "Wish List" for functions :)

BTW, has anybody had issues with the new TB2.0 menu not closing properly when you mouse-out of the menu?

What's up with all the html br?

Is it possible to install the graph module on a non-Trixbox system?

Absolutely awesome ... saves hours of Visio time? I think the community owes you a big one.

Well done.

Nice addon. Thanks!

Wow!!!...Nice one...Great tool

Thanks for all the praise (*blush*)

Two new questions:
- License: Basically GPL: you may use it as you wish but if you expand/change things in a generally useful way I really would like you to submit your updated version here. Be aware that the core functionality is provide by GraphViz, which has its own licensing, of course.
- Security: my original version required you to provide a valid MySQL login. Andrew told me he'd removed that so probably it picks up your login from Trixbox itself? Andrew, any comments?

Regards,
Walter.

tomorrow I will try this software , from the description, it is cool .so try it.!!! :-D

Is there anything that I can add to this that will require a login to view it?

You can use basic http auth. Google that, but the basics are:

<Directory /path/to/directory/in/filesystem>
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Authorization Required"
    AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/htpasswd
    Require valid-user
</Directory>

then you'll need to do (the first time):

htpasswd -c /etc/httpd/htpasswd username

users after that you just use:

htpasswd /etc/httpd/htpasswd username

HTH.

Guys,

Please somebody update the project information inside TrixBox website. I waste two hours looking for a simple information about install process "yum install trixboxGraph".

Thanks,

Julio Jacob - Brazilian TrixBox Expert

never mind

Gilda

where did it go? can't find it either in package manager or yum!!!! want it!

/Hasse

yeah, its missing. Engineer Tim is working on finding it.

Thanks for that Engineer Tim and Kerry. Looks like something which your client base might find most useful.

hmmm. maybe that was the second aisle??? Did someone bin it???

Kerry,

I missed this first time around and was talking just yesterday to my boss about diagraming the system in Visio. This would be much simpler/better/cooler.

Hows the testing going?

Thanks,
Tracy

Hey anchor85, cheers for your post :)

Kerry how are things comming along with getting trixboxGraph in as standard to save people the above config effort?

Also are there any plans for the talented trixbox team to develop trixboxGraph any further than it is?

Also when is the next tb build due, and will it have trixboxGraph and Asterisk 1.4.19 in it?

Cheers All.

Hey Kerry, cheers for the quick response.

Ok how about this, maybe you could setup a voting post where people could vote on whether they would like to see the trixbox team take trixboxGraph further and make it part of the trixbox interface?

I know you say no one has mentioned it in months, but then again I have only just come across it for the first time and talk about a great missing feature!

Little work for great gains in my eyes :)

Cheers All.

Kerry
My post above gives a solution that gets trixboxgraph working. I am happy to contribute more, but as far as I can see there is no build info available and 'wstroebel' above appears to be inactive on this site & there is no PM link on his account.

However, since this is a noarch.rpm it should be possible to start from scratch, I think the only custom files needed are the two php files installed under the trixboxGraph directory. The libraries etc needed are given in my how-to I assume. I think the trixboxgraph app is a set of libraries and two php files.

So subject to any other suggestions I will try to build an rpm from scratch. What do you think?

I've not seen this but the idea of a graphical flow chart sounds great, as an IT manager one of my big concerns is trying to get others to be able to make changes and understand the system..

It's in the repo.

It is true that trixbox graph is now included in the trixbox package manager. However,
1. If you have 'trixbox stable' and trixbox addons' selected as the repositories then as kulman points out the install fails when you use the package manager, you get dependancy failures with ghostscript and urw-fonts missing. Perhaps selecting more repos will cure that I have not tried.
2. The simple / quick solution is to use yum to install the package.

yum install tb-trixboxgraph

This works fine without changing any of the repo settings. This command will install 13 packages and all the dependancies are satisfied.

However, the trixbox team have changed the package name so that now to run trixboxgraph you need to use the url

http://your-trix-ip/tb-trixboxgraph

NOTE that originally the package had capital G for Graph now its all lowercase and tb- is added as well.

3. Additionally the trixbox team do NOT seem to have updated the index.php file inline with my earlier post so the current index.php file that I have just installed fails to work if you select queues because the queue definition has changed in the latest release of the mysql database.

If you read my post of Mon, 04/07/2008 - 11:49pm above you need to change the occurrence of

queues 

to

queues_details

twice in the file

/var/www/html/tb-trixboxgraph/index.php

as I mention above and then queues will work.

hth

It would be nice if the graph could show the ext's that the ivr's break out to as well. Otherwise great little program!

First I want to thank anchor85, his process worked perfectly.

@pbeaton: You should put some instructions on your site on how to install this. It took me a lot of trial and error to get it working. Once I did get it working though, it was GREAT, the extra info, and the way it creates more of a flow chart, makes this a awesome addition.

Instructions for installation of pbeatons mod of the script

2.4 or using anchor85 method of getting it working

1. Install trixboxGraph by # yum install trixboxGraph if using 2.4 or using anchor85's method above for 2.6
2. cd in to /var/www/html/trixboxGraph # cd /var/www/html/trixboxGraph
3. empty the /var/www/html/trixboxGraph directory # rm -r *.*
4. wget the following files
   
   1. # wget http://www.eccentricwombats.com/trixbox/files/index-2.4.phps
   2. # wget http://www.eccentricwombats.com/trixbox/files/functions.phps
   3. # wget http://www.eccentricwombats.com/trixbox/files/settings.phps
5. now rename the files to their proper names
   
   1. # mv index-2.4.phps index.php
   2. # mv functions.phps functions.php
   3. # mv settings.phps settings.php
6. browse to http://TRIXBOX_IP/trixboxGraph and enjoy

Using any current version of Trixbox > 2.6

1. install the app with # yum install tb-trixboxgraph
2. go to http://TRIXBOX_IP/tb-trixboxgraph and run the app. It will NOT work (at least per the current release in the repo), you need to do this to create the image files. It seems that pbeaton's mod for Trixbox > 2.6 will complain about them not being there (It should auto generate them if it needs them, or just skip it if they aren't there)
3. cd in to /var/www/html/tb-trixboxgraph # cd /var/www/html/tb-trixboxgraph
4. delete all the files inside this directory, except
   
   1. trixboxGraph.eps
   2. trixboxGraph.gif
   3. trixboxGraph.pdf
5. now this is where it gets a little weird. since the files to download on pbeaton's site seem to link to the wrong files, you will need to use the show file link on his site to view the file, copy the contents, and create them yourself inside the ../tb-trixboxgraph directoy. The files you will need are
   
   1. index.php - http://www.eccentricwombats.com/trixbox/display/show_index-2.6.ph... - # nano index.php - paste and save
   2. functions.php - http://www.eccentricwombats.com/trixbox/display/show_functions-2.... - # nano functions.php - paste and save
   3. settings.php - http://www.eccentricwombats.com/trixbox/display/show_settings-2.6... - # nano settings.php - paste and save
   4. styles.css - http://www.eccentricwombats.com/trixbox/display/show_styles-2.6.p... - # nano styles.css - paste and save
6. browse to http://TRIXBOX_IP/tb-trixboxgraph and enjoy

No matter what version you are installing, if you have changed your MYSQL user and or password, you must change it in the functions.php file

nano functions.php

On the second line, you'll see

$mcon = mysql_connect ("localhost", "root", "passw0rd");

Change root and passw0rd with the appropriate username/password.

I assume 2.2 would be the same as the 2.4 instructions, but I don't have a 2.2 box to test that on.

pbeaton matched the layout of this app in the 2.6 version to the same color scheme Trixbox uses. Now all we need to do is edit the maint page, and add it to the System menu. Then add http auth using KodaK's method above, using the same user access as /maint/ has, and boom, fully integrated and (as) secure (as trixbox's maint login is)

Hello All ,
I have installed the { yum install tbm-trixbox} but when ever i tried to open it { http://my-ip-trixboxGraph}
it is not opening. it said 404 page not found any clue???

I am using TRIXBOX CD 2.6.2

Thanks

Thanks Guentha

It works :)

Thanks

Aman

tb 2.6.2.2 is the latest version where I have tested the graphing package. I tried to install it using the package manager but 2 dependencies were thrown up which I solved with

yum install urw-fonts ghostscript

then I used the package manager to install trixboxgraph. So I could have just done the following

yum install urw-fonts ghostscript tb-trixboxgraph

You then need to go back to my first post in this thread on Mon, 04/07/2008 - 11:49pm and follow my instructions there to edit
/var/www/html/tb-trixboxgraph/index.php edit the two occurrences of queues and change to queues_details This seems to work

Have you selected the items to render? when selected they go blue. eg
incoming
devices
ringgroups
Digital receptionists
Queues
