recently found out that the Last Failed counter or field is not updated.

Anyway, to debug this and find out why?

many thanks!

Found a fix http://bugs.cacti.net/view.php?id=2257

there was a bug filed.


The functions.php was adapted as follows (function update_host_status):

$hosts[$host_id]["status_fail_date"] = '0000-00-00 00:00:00';
$hosts[$host_id]["status_rec_date"] = '0000-00-00 00:00:00';

In order to overcome the issue I changed the code by adding a check:

if ($hosts[$host_id]["status_fail_date"] == ""){
$hosts[$host_id]["status_fail_date"] = '0000-00-00 00:00:00';}

if ($hosts[$host_id]["status_rec_date"] == ""){
$hosts[$host_id]["status_rec_date"] = '0000-00-00 00:00:00';}

There a way to fix this via the monitor plugin, i.e. modify something in monitor.php where it outputs?

Asking as even though this is "fixed" it's fixed in >=0.8.9 which means God knows when (for example this was tagged fix in 2012 and it's 2015 and 0.8.8d just came out). Hit this problem myself and it's bad form to simply expect everybody to google and hopefully stumble across this forum post.
