Thold 2.x - Thresholding/Alerting module for cacti 8.6

[Pumpi]

Code: Select all

Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/cacti/lib/thold-functions.php on line 36
Data Source Item [fwAccepted] - Current value: [0]

I getting this error from one datasource, same for another Checkpoint firewalls works.

Any idea ?

[mainstreetexpress]

I have successfully installed cacti 0.8.6c and THold. Everything looks fine and I have setup it up to monitor CPU usage etc

However if for example the threshold is exceeded, the Threshold 'page' does not show this, it just says 'currently triggered' as green. Am I missing something blatantly obvious?

Hi all,

i'm trying to use host up/down alerting but i don't know how to set up.
Is it with ping latency ??



Thanks !

[Pumpi]

@ cterpreau

host up/down alerting is automatically done if you can poll & graph one value of your device.

Dead Hosts notifications is enabled per default under Cacti Settings (Alerting/Thold)

@ myself

Seems that I haven't set root rights to the tholdxxx.php files - problem fixed

@ adesimone

Will cactid be 100% supported by thold in future ? My device list is growing & growing

[cterpreau]

Pumpi,

i've some ping latency graph for servers and when i disconnect them from the network i don't recieve anything.

Dead Hosts notifications is checked on settings.


Thanks !

[quote="brain"]hi

it seems, i have found a bug, perhaps others have met this already. in the mysql table there are some column types defined as INT(50). well, on my debian box, it did not worked for numbers larger than 32 bits (so larger than int(11)). this was bad, because if u try to monitor hard disk usage, then the max value a trigger can have is around 2 gigs. and that's not so much :)

so i changed all int(50) to bigint in the table thold_data, and now it works for me. has anyone already faced this problem?

First of all, we want to express our gratitude to people who developed such a wonderful function!

I faced with a similar problem. but solved by your favor.
I'm lucky boy.

cterpreau,

have you ever get an threshold alarm mail ?
Is your sendmail working ?

[cterpreau]

Hi,

yes sendmail works fine but i've contacted adesimone and he told me that up/down host checking is not working correctly for the moment.

So that's why ...


Bye.

I am using Windows and cacti 0.8.6c and the configuration works okay. I have the tables in the cacti database and also the "new options threshold" on my cacti website. I am also able to select a data source. The problem is that there is a problem with the check-thold. As I read in the forum it is necessary to schedule a new task check-thold ... when i did it in the command line c:\php\php.exe c:\Apache2\htdocs\cacti\thold\check-thold.php i got the following error:

<b>Notice</b>: Undefined variable: handle in <b>c:\apache2\htdocs\cacti\thold\

After successfully installing and finally getting the threshold function running and monitoring devices etc, I would now like to remove a particular process from being monitored for threshold levels.

i.e. I am monitoring the threshold level for several router interfaces, however I would like to remove this on a particular interface, whilst still wanting to see the graph output.

Apart from removing the entire data source from the 'data sources' and therefore removing the item from being graphed at all, I can't seem to do it

Any thoughts?

[benhanson]

So I've narrowed it down to the following code:

if (isset($_REQUEST["hostid"])) {
$hostid=$_REQUEST["hostid"];
} else {
$_REQUEST["hostid"] = "";
}

if (isset($_REQUEST["rra"])) {
$rra=$_REQUEST['rra'];
} else {
$_REQUEST["rra"] = "";
}
if (!isset($_REQUEST["action"])) { $_REQUEST["action"] = ""; }

If the first If statement is commented out, I can go to datasources:templatename/Click for thold
and the page loads fine SOMETIMES. If it does load, a refresh will usually cause IIS to freeze. With the first If uncommented, it will always freeze. If the first AND second If statements are commented out, the page loads fine, though the graph and drop down menus do not load. Commenting out the third if doesn't ever help, I just included it because it appears relevant to If's 1 and 2.

What are these doing? Is the "hostid" variable linux specific? Is isset flaky on win32?

[benhanson]

So it appears that if I change the double quotes in _REQUEST["hostid"] to single quotes, _REQUEST['hostid'] that it fails LESS. Still works consistently if the first to If statements are removed, though this kills some functionality. What's the deal with "" or '' ?

[fletch]

Can this module do RSS feeds of the thresholds exceeded?
That'd be cool

We're a BigBrother & Cacti shop here.
I like the separation of duties:
BigBrother for monitoring & alerting and uptime reporting
Cacti: for historical trending

Been running bb-cacti for months.
Now I see there is a new integration module "bigcactus" with thresholds:

Anyone tried it?

Installed Apache 1.3.33

It looks like IIS just isn't happy with some the code in thold.php. Removing those first 2 if statements eliminates the problem by causing other code to fail rather than execute. Removing the following for loop:
foreach ($template_data_rrds as $template_data_rrd) {.....bunch of other stuff}

keeps IIS from freezing as well, unless you refresh rapidly.
