threshold disabled, but still sending email

[mohammadramadan]

Hello,
I have disabled few thresholds in my setup, and suspended them too. but still sending email notifications.
how to disable a threshold from sending emails other than deleting it.
TIA.

Goto Console > Configuration > Settings > Thold/Alerts and disable Thold data collection.

The 1.8 version is under development. So, if you are not a developer, download an use the latest tag and not develop.

Pretty sure this was fixed in develop today.

Thank you, I will download it.
but will this required me to recreate all thresholds again ? or simply disable the plugin and download the new one ?

[TheWitness]

No.

Hello Witness,
I have went through the process of uninstalling the plugin then downloading the new.
but unfortunately, It deleted all thold staff, like threshold template, thresholds, and settings.
I have vmware, so I reverted again to snapshot and back before any changes.
My question is, Is there a way to backup the thresholds, from web interface or database backup and restore it on the new thold version? it tok so long time to create these tholds?
I know this is taking too long but I have no way else to solve it?
TIA

Just dump the thold data to a SQL file, then, before you upgrade, restore them and set the version back to say 1.5 (thold):

Code: Select all

UPDATE plugin_config SET version='1.5' WHERE directory='thold';

Then just go to the THold top tab and Cacti will again upgrade attempt to upgrade the plugin. Set the version to whatever version you were at before you tried getting to 1.8 (beta/alpha).
