Re-poll all devices from CLI

Post by Hinzel »

Hey,

I wrote a quick and dirty little PHP script that you can run from the shell which will re-poll every device in cacti. This is beneficial for our setup as we have a lot of access layer switches where the port descriptions frequently change, and having to manually re-poll each device causes a lot of stale/outdated descriptions.

Using a combination of this and autom8, after creating in the device we never have to manually create any graphs.

I have this cron'd to run twice a day, at noon and midnight.

Voting for accepting your script on 088.
Do you grant copyright to The Cacti Group for it?
R.

Absolutely, feel free to modify/distribute as you see fit.

Nice work on autom8 by the way :)

Added a couple things.

Original script only ran with a data query id of 1, script now accepts the parameter "--id=$param_num" so you can re-poll any data query you would like.
