Thold on externally updated graph

[erictioh]

Hi i have an externally update data source (rrd) and i have import it to graph using cacti, everything works good (where graph can be updated nicely.

However when i try to create a threshold using thold, it can be created but it just doesn't work, i mean it doesn't being triggered (Because it depends on polling interval, but you know externally updated data source doesn't have polling activated). Anyone have same scenario as mine but get it work properly ?

This is not presently supported.

Just considering..

(I guess) Its mechanisms:

1) If you added threshold for your external RRD, given datasource will be registered into poller's table (poller_item) and array ($rrd_update_array[])

2) But Cacti poller doesn't update such a (external) datasource

3) So the datasource won't be registered to the list of candidate ($rrd_update_array_reindexed[]) for verifying by thold plugin
(See thold_poller_output() in 'plugins/thold/includes/polling.php')

4) Current status of the threshold won't be updated unless the datasource is not registered to the candidate list

So, if we could force to register the external datasource into $rrd_update_array_reindexed[] array, perhaps we can use threshold triggering for external RRD..

Noname, we have to discuss you obsession with the source code. I'm going to make you a dev I think

Oh! that's a bad joke!

Ah, you got it then. Keep up the good work!
