THold scheduling

[jazzplr]

Is there a way to pause THold on a scheduled per device basis? For example, when backups run on one PC in the middle of the night there are some services that are taken down and then brought back up. I've adjusted the breach duration to allow for 10 minutes as opposed to 5 minutes which will bandage that problem but I'd rather have the five minute duration for abnormal outages. When we were on Nagios we couldn't do a calendar scheduling of downtime but we could schedule downtime manually.

Moving to THOLD forum.
But I fear, that the answer would be: no

maint (Maintenance Scheduler) plugin worked for me.
- http://svn.cacti.net/viewvc/maint/?root=Plugins

Some screenshots (current SVN 2032 / v0.3?):

When performed "Update Time (Now + 1 Hour)", scheduled period is reconfigured immediately.


Schedule Type: "One Time" or "Reoccurring"
Interval: "Every Day" or "Every Week"



With the above maintenance period (15:40-15:45), I've received alerting mails from thold plugin at the following time.
- 15:35 sent
- 15:40 not sent
- 15:45 sent

That's awesome plugin. :)

// tested on Cacti 0.8.7i with PIA 3.1 + thold-v0.4.9-3

Wow thanks, that is exactly what I was looking for! I should have expanded my search terms to maintenance instead of schedule...

[jazzplr]

Please excuse my ignorance, but how do I install this? I'm used to seeing .xml files that get imported. Any documentation would be helpful.

>> how do I install this?

1. Download all files in the trunk/ directory or get copy of them by using Subversion (or similar tool) from here:
svn://svn.cacti.net/cacti_plugins/maint/trunk

2. Place these files in cacti/plugins/maint/

3. Install/Enable "Maint" at 'Plugin Management' like as the other plugins

Thanks, wow do I feel dumb. I was thinking about templates instead of plugins. Thanks again for your help!

Hey guys,

Is there any plans to implement the maintenance plugin to work on a per-template thold basis? I only want to disable certain types of templated thresholds and not all thold alerts attached to a device. Thanks!

Is there a specific version of cacti/thold/pia that is needed for maint to properly work? I'm currently running Cacti 0.8.7d, thold 0.4.1, and PIA 2.4. I'd like to avoid updating these if possible.

Maint is pretty much not going to work unless you update all of those. With 0.8.7d having been released over 3 years ago, I would hazard to guess that any new plugin may have issues with something that old.

Hi, i have a problem with installing the plugin...when I move these files, I cant see plugin in Plugin Management...

Cacti Version: 0.8.8a, Plugin Architecture Version: 3.1, Thold 0.5
