Re-Index Method Description
Uptime Goes Backwards Refers to a system reboot. Cacti will detect if the target has been rebootet by querying sysUptime (.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0). If the current value for the uptime is lower than the previous one (uptime goes backwards), a reboot is assumed and a re-index is performed
Index Count Changed Refers to a change of the number of indexed items, e.g. interfaces, without checking sysUptime. It is of particular interest in cases, where indexed entries may change without the need of a reboot. As modern operating systems seldom require reboots for system configuration changes, you may want to consider this setting for many cases (e.g. creating of a new filesystem without a reboot). The index to be considered is defined by the according XML file.
Verify All Fields All index fields of the according XML file are checked for changes. This is of particular interest e.g. in cases, where the index is non-numeric (e.g. a MAC address)
Just found that info from the docs but im still a bit unsure which option I need. As, im looking to get updated interface descriptions on my switches automatically. For my setup I normally just graph all ports on a switch and we put in descriptions for the interfaces as we enable the port. Should I be using "Verify All Fields"?
