I don't know to choose any number for sent email UP/DOWN after 1 minute? Pls help me

That would depend on your polling times. If you have retries set to 3 and you are polling every 5 minutes, that means that if you polled at 8am and it was up, but at 8:03 it went down, then at 8:05 would be the first down status, meaning it would be 8:20 before the third one.

So now, Can i change the following components to get email after 2 mins UP / DOWN?
Pls help me, I am confused this issue

What is your polling time?

[thaidt229]

Thanks for reply from you,

My Setting Cacti:
Poller Interval: Every 5 Minutes
Cron Interval: Every 5 Minutes

[netniV]

What do you have under your Presets -> Data Profiles?

[thaidt229]

Thanks reply from netniV

Presets -> Data Profiles:

Data Source Profile Name Default Deletable Read Only Poller Interval Heartbeat DataSourcesUsing Templates Using

High Collection Rate Yes No Every 30 Seconds 20 Minutes 0 0
System Default Yes No Yes Every 5 Minutes 10 Minutes 471 41

[netniV]

So if you have something using the high collection rate, then 2 cycles would be a minute. 4 cycles would be 2 minutes, etc.

I do not know what you mean??
Where I can change after 2 minutes sent email notification

Can you have Skype chat when we can chat clear this case

[thaidt229]

I still do not understand the formula to calculate the time to send a warning mail UP/DOWN.
Pls help me clear my case. Because receive very long time (20 minutes). This is not real-time for monitor Network Device

[netniV]

time = data source profile x number of polling events

ergo:
2 minutes = 0.5 minutes x 4

[thaidt229]

So, if i choose Data Source Profile : High Collection Rate

Do I need to change : Cacti Settings -> Poiler ?
Currently Poller Type : cmd.php
Poller Interval : Every 5 Minutes -> ? change
Cron Interval: Every 5 Minutes -> ? change

And Do I need to change ?
My Settings are:
Cacti Settings (Poller)
Host Up/Down Settings
Failure Count 3 -> ? change
Recovery Count 3 -> ? change

or just change it correctly Data Source Profile : High Collection Rate is ok ???

[netniV]

You need to change your recover/failure count for those thresholds which will utilise the data sources that are running against the high collection data profile. Please search on changing a data source's profile (you may have to delete and recreate), as I have always used a one minute profile and never changed from that. I believe that there can be consequences to changing an active data sources profile.
