| Enable the apcache2 `status` module: | ||

| `/etc/apache2/conf-available` | ||
|
|
||
| ```console | ||
| ExtendedStatus On | ||
|
|
||
| <Location /server-status> | ||
| SetHandler server-status | ||
| Require local | ||
| </Location | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| Then use the following commands to enable the `status` module and new | ||
| configuration **Note**: You must restart the apache ( systemctl restart apache2) |

There are a couple of typos in the Debian section that make the instructions harder to follow: apcache2 should be apache2, and stauts should be status.

| | The Maximum SNMP OIDs Per SNMP Get Request | The maximum number of SNMP get OIDs to issue per SNMP request. Increasing this value increases poller performance over slow links. The maximum value is 60 OIDs, but that value is highly dependent on the MTU for your links to the remote devices. In some cases, using a **Remote Data Collector** is much more effective for polling remote **Davices**. Additionally, some **Device Types** do not handle large SNMP OID get requests. It's best to experiment until you find the correct setting. | | ||
| | Device Threads | The maximum number spine threads used to gather information from a **Device**. When using this setting at the **Device** level, you have to ensure that you have enough threads allocated to a process so as to not block other **Devices** being polled from the same spine binary. | |

Typo in the table description: "Davices" should be "Devices".

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The "Problematic software and configuration" section advises disabling SELinux/AppArmor/ModSecurity entirely. That’s a security regression for many deployments; consider rewording to recommend configuring appropriate policies/exceptions (or linking to guidance) rather than turning protections off globally.

The code/output examples use double backticks (``) and inline bold prompts, and one block ends on the same line as output, which renders poorly and may fail markdownlint. Please convert these to proper fenced code blocks (triple backticks) and keep prompts/output formatting consistent.

| Generally speaking, you should never use either `$_GET`, `$_REQUEST` or | ||
| `$_POST` in your Cacti code. Use the validators. When you do, you can | ||
| turn on the Cacti setting `Log Input Validation Issues` when you are | ||
| developing, and you Cacti log will include warnings when an unvalidate | ||
| developing, and you Cacti log will include warnings when an invalidate | ||
| variable has been encountered. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The sentence "warnings when an invalidate variable has been encountered" appears to be a typo/grammar regression. It should read "invalid" or "unvalidated" variable (and likely "your Cacti log").

Several user-facing typos remain in this section (e.g., "onfiguration" -> "configuration"). Please run a quick spell-check pass here since these are rendered as end-user docs.

| Modify file `/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/snmpd.service`, | ||
| add these lines to the service section: | ||
| ```console | ||

| ProtectHome=off | ||
| PrivateTmp=false | ||
| ``` |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The recommended systemd changes for snmpd (ProtectSystem=off, ProtectHome=off, PrivateTmp=false) significantly weaken the service sandbox and expose the full filesystem to the SNMP daemon. If an SNMPd vulnerability or misconfiguration is exploited, this turns a limited service compromise into full system read/write access. Instead of fully disabling these protections, keep the default hardening where possible or scope access more narrowly (e.g., via specific ReadWritePaths/ReadOnlyPaths or an alternative mechanism that does not require dropping all systemd protections).

PR scope has expanded significantly since the original description. Summarizing all changes now on the branch: File renames
"CentOS 7" title was wrong for files that already documented RHEL/Rocky/AlmaLinux. "Enterprise Linux" is the standard umbrella term (EL7/EL8/EL9). Critical fixes (functional breakage if followed)
High fixes (incorrect behaviour or security failure)
Medium fixes
Grammar/typo/numbering fixes (all files)
