CACTI 0.8.7 automatic creation for interface graphs

[hsharkas]

Hi,
below is the cacti platform detail
Cacti Version 0.8.7
Cacti OS unix
SNMP Version net-snmp
RRDTool Version RRDTool 1.2.x

I just upgraded from 0.8.6 to 0.8.7 and all is working fine except that for all devices added after the upgrade, graphs items and corresponding data sources are automatically created for all interfaces are operational up.

Even after deleting the graphs and the data sources they appear once more after few minutes.

This is adding a lot of extra burden on the machine especially when monitoring the BRASs on the network where all our broadband connection are terminated and i don't care to monitor these dynamically created interfaces.

Is there a way to disable this intellegent feature either on the device level or globally for the whole platform?

Your help is appreciated.

This feature has already been asked for. But I'm quite sure, that it was never implemented.
Did you change the path/to/rrd/files?

Do you have the Plugin Arch and the Discovery plugin installed?

Hi, after disabling the discovery plugin in the global.php and rebooting the machine the problem is solved.

thanks rony.
