Stopping Mail Alert Due to All Host Down by Local LAN Issue

[sukanta]

We are facing issue of getting lots of Host UP mail which happened when devices were down due to Cacti Server Local LAN Issue & came up now.



I am trying to find out possible solution in Thold. Anybody already done pl share.

Though it's not verified..

plugins/thold/thold_functions.php: (v0.4.9-3)

Code: Select all

function thold_mail($to, $from, $subject, $message, $filename, $headers = '') {
	global $config;
	if (db_fetch_cell('SELECT status FROM host WHERE id = 1') == HOST_DOWN) {
		thold_debug('Localhost is down -- sending mail is skipped');
		return '';
	}
	...

However, it's no use that the server for monitoring is down.. :P

I guess that I am asking if you would like the emails grouped as one e-mail per Notification List? If that's the case, it can be done, but I would only do it for people that use the Notification Lists and not per device email addresses.

This is the the best solution .. Single mail for all host down...

For LAN down, localhost will be not always down as the server may have multiple NIC.
