Look at the Plugin Announcements forum post about PIA 2.2-beta. That patch will fix the Invalid PHP_SELF.

For me this is the only one that worked uptime-hj.zip after applying your check-uptime.php changes.

Hi Gilles ! First, big thanks for this plugin !
Second, I had an issue with it ... After install the plugin and patched the host.php file I got an error at line 1291 in browser ! After I commented out this :

Code: Select all

<?php
//gilles 1
?>
everything is fine and working ...
Is that something u've missed or ... ?!

i have translated some messages sent on the notification message, but the idea stays the same, i havent changed the plugin 'logic'. I'm getting some false positive on reboots, like:
Data: 12/6/2008 19:41
Subject: Reboot detectado

Host : 10.255.96.2 (Carapicuíba - AD Logon)
Uptime antigo: 3169780143 (366.9 dias)
Uptime novo : 1605109451 (185.8 dias)
Motivo:

as i also have a graph that shows machine uptime, i'm completly sure that the information was correctly provided by the machine on that moments before and after the gap that triggered the reboot notification.

do you have any idea why this false reboot notification was triggered ??

Nothing. You need to go into the Devices and check the 'monitor uptime' box.

The Uptime tab shows the detected reboot events, so if nothing has rebooted yet, it will be empty.
Weathermap 0.98a is out! & QuickTree 1.0. Superlinks is over there now (and built-in to Cacti 1.x).
Some Other Cacti tweaks, including strip-graphs, icons and snmp/netflow stuff.

hey gilles,
I just wanted to say to you a big thanks for this plugin.
I installed it simply flawless in cacti 0.8.7b using the Plugin Management.
Everything went perfect and I had uptime running in a minute!
Many thanks again! and keep up with the good work.

I think that there is some sort of problem with the Uptime plugin, and the discovery plugin. When I install the Uptime plugin, i lose the ability to set the options for the discovery plugin. when i disable Uptime, i can set all of the options for the Discovery plugin, but when the uptime plugin is enabled, i lose those fields on the settings/misc page. The uptime plugin i downloaded from this thread, and the discovery plugin i got from the SVN.

I figured i would let everyone know.

is there any quick way to enable this on a bunch of devices?

Post by jwilda »

Is there anyway to enable the uptime check to say 100 devices?

I manually went into the MySQL DB and ran the following command. It worked like a charm.

Code: Select all

 UPDATE `cacti`.`host` SET `uptime` = 'on' 
and now all of my devices have the Check Uptime box checked.

uptime colume on devices page isn't accurate

Post by jwilda »

the uptime column on the devices page is not correct. Does anyone know why and how to fix it.
i.e.
device page uptime column shows:
1d 2h 12m
system shows:
13:55:55 up 67 days, 9:29
uptime graph shows:
Days: 67 Hours: 9 Minutes: 23

The uptime column on the devices page is just how long since the device last missed a poll, I'm pretty sure - it's not related to the actual uptime (often - things miss a ping).
