If you are using the latest Cacti, make sure you have the latest plugin for monitor from the repo too. If you do, I'll take a look at the line in question but generally $config is globally defined so shouldn't be having issues.

Do you have thold installed as well? Make sure that is also up to date. If you are working with the up to date versions, I'll run through some things to check tomorrow :)

Well that stats line comes from this:

$total_hosts = db_fetch_cell_prepared('SELECT count(*)
FROM host
WHERE disabled=""
AND poller_id = ?',
array($config['poller_id']));

$down_hosts = db_fetch_cell_prepared('SELECT count(*)
FROM host
WHERE status=1
AND disabled=""
AND poller_id = ?',
array($config['poller_id']));

That status = 1 is what is causing it to think those devices are down. Something definitely set them as down. The full array of known values are:

Code: Select all

array(
        0 => 'deviceUnknown',
        1 => 'deviceDown',
        2 => 'deviceRecovering',
        3 => 'deviceUp',
        4 => 'deviceThreshold',
        5 => 'deviceDownMuted',
        6 => 'deviceUnmonitored',
        7 => 'deviceWarning',
        8 => 'deviceAlert',
)
However, other plugins can set a device status too

So, do we have a fully working system now? You may also want to download the version of monitor I have here:
https://github.com/netniV/plugin_monito ... /tag/28-45

It fixes a problem with displaying things when they have an invalid status (also adds the ability to auto-monitor devices added via cli)

I'd have to defer to the author on that one.

If you can let me know what you think to this release of QuickTree:
https://github.com/netniV/cacti-quicktr ... 1.0-beta.2

It's had quite a bit of a rework but it's still the same underlying functionality :)
