THold 2.0 beta - Threshold monitoring plugin for cacti 8.6c

[Matt_B]

mdw162: Sorry I do not remember the exact error. I us VI and I know I had an error somewhere near '$cactiroot/rra/*_$rra.rrd MAX". I think it was something about the *...

llistthold.php
find:

Code: Select all

Email address(es) to send alerts to: (use commas to for multiple addresses) <br> <input type='text' name='email' size='50' maxlength='50' value='";

and change to:

Code: Select all

Email address(es) to send alerts to: (use commas to for multiple addresses) <br> <input type='text' name='email' size='50' maxlength='100' value='";

Pretty simple and everythign seems to still work. Dont forget you have to change the size of the field in the database:

Code: Select all

ALTER TABLE `tholdset` CHANGE `emailadd` `emailadd` VARCHAR( 100 ) ;

Hope this helps

Any chance that this will soon be able to trigger alarms based on counter-based graphs for bandwidth monitoring etc? So far this looks great! I was quite pleased to see that someone has developed a notification plugin for Cacti. Great Work!

thanks for the comments/input again

I belive the counter would work execept where there are multiple datasources in one rrd file; this is the next thing I am trying to tackle.

NITRO: I forgot to fix the include/config.php bug - mdw162 had pointed that out earlier. I will include this in the next update along with a larger email field.

I am planning on putting in a rising/falling threshold option as suggested by a few people already.

Ranko also has some very good ideas. Auto-Baslineing is definately on the plate, but not easy to accomplish. If anyone can help with this, that would be much appreciated. Exception periods is a great idea - backups, etc would send off alot of alarms.

I would also like to integrate this with the 'user manager' within cacti; this would allow building alert groups, etc

I will start developing some library functions that will help with baseline monitoring.

I will be developing this logic in a new file: lib/thold.php

I've also sent you a modified verion of check-thold.php for your review that should resolve cross platform issues.

I'm in the middle of a rebuild anyway

benhanson: Here is the file.

Note for the mail notification to work under windows, you will have to fix some settings in your php.ini.

Copied the new file out, reran the scheduled jobs and that did it(I'd already done the php.ini mail mods) Thanks! I'll post if anything odd occurs.

Hey,

I am looking at the threshold and it looks pretty good. One thing that I would like to add to the wish list is a page that just lists "exceptions". I have over 1200 hosts that I am monitoring. when I get a bandwidth exception, it would be very nice to be able to go to a single page and see anywhere that is having an issue. dont really need to see all the nodes tht are not having issues <g>.

BTW, I am looking forward to your bandwidth mods!!!! I use mainly counters on my system.,

Regards,

Willie

Hi I'm a bit new to cacti.
However I'm using my company URL to view cacti graph.

I tried using your patch.
I got following error while using ./install.sh /var/www/cacti

cp: cannot stat `/var/www/cacti/include/config_arrays.php': No such file or directory
Modifying files...
Adding SQL tables...
ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 1: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'trigger int(11) default '1',
triggerct int(11) default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (id' at line 9


I do not see any graph.
I get "YOU DO NOT HAVE RIGHTS FOR TREE VIEW" on clicking graphs.

I can see "threshld" tab but clicking it opens a blank page.


httpd error log shows:

Please help...!

Hi

Would it be possible to send an snmp trap or to execute a script when a threshold is breached?

this would be very convenient in our environment
