Wrong "Host Previously DOWN for"

[fmoreira86]

Hi good people!

Don't know if this is the best place to ask this.

I'm monitoring some hosts and when some of them goes down I receive a message with the info and in the field "Host Previously DOWN for" I get a completly wrong value like 7234234234234234234 days.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks and merry xmas!

Cacti and MySQL version?

Hello.

Excuse me for bringing up this old topic again, but in my search for a solution I've found this unresolved question. Now I'm having the exact same problem, I've installed Cacti 0.8.8b with MySQL 14.14 and thold 0.5 plugin and while everything is working fine, I'm receiving host notification with incorrect last dates:

Last Date Checked UP: 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Host Previously DOWN for: 736031d 12h 59m 51s
or
Last Date Checked DOWN : 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Host Previously UP for: 736031d 12h 44m 52s

I've spent some time trying to figure out where the problem is, but now it seems I'm stuck and I'll appreciate any help.

Thanks!

Hello all,

Exactly in which place it's necessary to add a:

Code: Select all

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';}

I try to put this under:

Code: Select all

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

However it doesn't work for me at all, i show monitor message with strange values:

Last Date Checked UP: 0000-00-00 00:00:00
Host Previously DOWN for: 736565d 11h 12m 28s

Hello all,

Finally to solve this problem i let a code in state below in file /usr/share/cacti/lib/functions.php. I use "$: locate functions.php" to lacte this files, because a location can be different.

function update_host_status($status, $host_id, &$hosts, &$ping, $ping_availability, $print_data_to_stdout) {
$issue_log_message = false;
$ping_failure_count = read_config_option("ping_failure_count");
$ping_recovery_count = read_config_option("ping_recovery_count");
/*$hosts[$host_id]["status_fail_date"] = '0000-00-00 00:00:00';*/
/*$hosts[$host_id]["status_rec_date"] = '0000-00-00 00:00:00';*/
if ($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';}
......
.....
...

Now a last fail seems good from a monitor cacti web page and also when i receive a notification by email is also seems good.
