Intermediate processing of device down

Post by kouzaka »

I am using Cacti 1.2.16, and the number of registered devices is approximately 300.

Some hosts are intermittently marked as down, while others are not. When checking the cacti.log, I see the following entries:

======================
2024-10-02 18:04:49 - SPINE: Poller[1] PID[7097] Device[698] SNMP Ping Timeout
2024-10-02 18:04:49 - SPINE: Poller[1] PID[7097] Device[698] PING Result: ICMP: Ping timed out
2024-10-02 18:04:49 - SPINE: Poller[1] PID[7097] Device[698] SNMP Result: Device did not respond to SNMP
2024-10-02 18:04:49 - SPINE: Poller[1] PID[7097] Device[698] HT[1] NOTE: There are '16' Polling Items for this Device
2024-10-02 18:04:49 - SPINE: Poller[1] PID[7097] Device[698] HT[1] Total Time: 43 Seconds
2024-10-02 18:04:49 - SPINE: Poller[1] PID[7097] Device[698] HT[1] DEBUG: HOST COMPLETE: About to Exit Device Polling ======================

However, the entry stating
ERROR: HOST EVENT: Device is DOWN Message: Device did not respond to SNMP, ICMP: Ping timed out appears inconsistently.
The Cacti setting is Failure Count 2.

Could someone please tell me the name of the database table where data is recorded when a single failure occurs? I want to first check if the information is recorded in the database.

Thank you

Thank you.
Apparently the poller process did not complete until the next process and the failure count was not added.

these values are updated at the and of poller cycle. Check your log if your poller finish on time:
logs-> select type "stats"
