Down Host Detection

[gandalf]

Hello,
So i have upgrade to 0.8.7, and see the changes made for Down Host Detection (thanks). I have tried setting this host for None, UDP Ping, and ICMP Ping. In all cases my device is still marked as Down. I turned on the debug log, and don't see any activity for this host. Any ideas?

Thanks

You did create at least a single graph for this host?

Hey, I forgot to change my path from cactid to spine. That seemed to fix the down host detection, and it started executing my scripts. However, it looks like spine would time out, so i rolled it back to cactid, and will troubleshoot spine separately.

I upgraded to Spine 0.8.7a, and this started working without any problems.

I upgraded to Spine 0.8.7a, and this started working without any problems.

It's not working for me. I'm using cacti-0.8.7a and spine 0.8.7b. what type of Down Host Detection did you use?

[yardus9]

I am using:
Downed Device Detection: PING
Ping Method: TCP Ping
Ping Port: 23

I am using:
Downed Device Detection: PING
Ping Method: TCP Ping
Ping Port: 23

...commonly know as "telnet". Not all devices respond to telnet requests, though ...

Gandalf,

How about using icmp ping? is there any clue? I have many host without snmp and previously working great with icmp ping on cacti-8.6j but failed with cacti-0.8.7a. any help would be great. Thanks!

The issue with ICMP ping is, that it requires special execution priviledges. This is why I personally did not use it yet. Larry aka TheWitness will know better.

Oops, took me a moment to recognize.
You're still using cactid with cacti 087. That's not supported. Please use spine with cacti087
