Cacti

Hi there, When I click on a device (Managment -> Device) that is down, it takes a really long time to bring up the device configuration screen. I figured it is trying to do snmp with the device & keep trying according to the retry settings. Is there a way around this so that I can instantly get ...

I need answers too

How can I change the behavior so that it sends out 1 email when it is down...and only send another email when the device is back up? Currently I think the manage plugin is checking every 5 minutes and send out email saying it's down..I have whole bunch of device down emails out of a single device. A...

Hi there,

The OID for Interface status on Cisco switches/routers doesn't seem to be able to retrieve value from foundries. Ultimately I wish to use thold to monitor switch port status..Anyone know any post out there so I'm not reinventing the wheel?

In this plugin, it would be nice to indicate failover "pairs" of interfaces. I have a need to monitor a highly redundant network, where many of the core connections are backed up by other links. Many times our primary link goes down, but we don't know about it because other interfaces pic...

Mr Manage, When are you dishing out a 'rebooted' event every 5 minutes on all my devices (Cisco/HP and alike) when I know my babies haven't been rebooted (Not my core switches!) Ihave check system uptime enabled/disabled and it does the same thing to me.. I have 'gather cisco info' enabled...didn't ...

That would unfortunately mean you need to create user accounts at the cisco gears and grant them a lv15 access so it goes straight to privileged mode.
Also in the router/switch vty settings you need to use local authentication.

I think there is a great deal of difference between the ping.php that you suggested (Copyright (C) 2004 Larry Adams & Ian Berry)and one that I have ( Copyright (C) 2004-2008 The Cacti Group). One from Cacti group has significantly more code when i did a compare. Once I applied ping.php you sugge...

I really hope some still read this old topic.. My advanced ping graph only shows latency not packet loss. When there is a packet loss, all it does is to leave a gap in the advacnced ping graph. I'm expecting to see some colors indicating % of packet loss rather. And this gap is happening across all ...

Yeah..probably not required because we're not talking about distributed monitoring whereby an emails got stuck on remote site because the network is down...
I'll check out 4.0, thanks!

Hi , How can I define the email subject when thold dish out an alert? This way i can skim through the email subjects without needing to open them. Can this be achieved via template? Essentially I wish to receive an email when interface is down, with the subject specifying the port description (ie |q...

Hi there,

I'm experiencing the same issue and hey, turning to spine sounds like a workaround than a solution..any luck guys?

Cheers,

Spine, formally Cactid, is a poller for Cacti that primarily strives to be as fast as possible. For this reason it is written in native C, makes use of POSIX threads, and is linked directly against the net-snmp library for minmumal SNMP polling overhead. Spine is a replacement for the default cmd.ph...

oh yes. my mind says Spine when i typed cactid

any luck with Spine/Ubuntu server?
