Please confirm what process you used to "import your devices". If my assumption is correct, you can recover, it's just a bit of a pain with 0.8.7.

We're actually migrating to this new server from our current production one due to number of devices and datasources. So we were just following upgrade instructions as related to db import. Please advise if incorrect.

I just did a fresh replace of my cacti to the 8.7 version and after adding the monitor plugin I had the same problems with "Save Failed" errors.

I fixed it by going into user administration and making sure that the admin user had access to the monitor plugin. this solved my problem with this particular error.

hope that helps anyone else! :D

We just commented monitor out from global.php and the error no longer exists. Hopefully that is what you're asking?

Current prod, we have no issues. The issue is on the new 64 bit OS we're going to, where its disabled, so host info plugin won't show it.

So monitor 0.81 on 64bit OS is breaking it, correct? In this case, please contact cigamit and/or post to the monitor thread in the Plugins forum

Yep, its not allowing you to update the table. Run this query and see if it fixes it.
ALTER TABLE host ADD monitor_text text default '' not null AFTER monitor
