The Cacti directory structure

Let's look at the default directory structure of Cacti and some of the important subdirectories:

docs

The docs directory contains the full Cacti manual in different formats. The manual can be used as a quick reference for the various Cacti topics and also provides information on how to debug some of the more common issues you'll face.

The Cacti manual can be viewed within your browser by going to the following URL (replacing <server> with your Cacti Server):

http://<server>/<cacti dir>/docs/html/index.html.

include

The include directory contains files such as config.php and global.php. As you know, the config.php file contains the database and Cacti URL settings.

install

The install directory contains the installation files as well those needed in order to upgrade a Cacti installation. Once you have set up Cacti, you can safely delete this directory.

log

The log directory contains all of the Cacti log files. This is where the cacti.log file resides...
