what file / procedure are putting the data in HOST.STATUS_REC_DATE (the time of last fail) ?
i have to change there the timezone settings.


thanks to all

This is actually stored by Cacti itself, I just pull it out of the database. I am sure that it wouldn't very hard to find though.

Was your Cacti installation a RPM install, or from source?

My only real suggestion is to use the provided files instead of the patch. Be sure to re-setup your config.php afterwards.

[ssams]

mine was source files. mandrake linux. g of cacti.

i am not sure what you mean by the "provided files". dont i need the patch to run monitor and thold? i had these running (or monitor) on my system but upgraded to g from c and it went away.

In the archive that was downloaded, I also include the already patched files. You should see a directory called "files-0.8.6g". Use those files to override the originals and them modify your config.php (the one has a few extra items).

Everything "should" work from that point, but if not, we can find out what is happening and fix it.

[ssams]

ok now i see. i thought those were patch files. i did that and got further. now here is what i get

[ssams]

fixed image

almost all links do NOT work.

[ssams]

yea..

i was hopin he would have that fix for me too. i dont want to restore again today...

[cigamit]

ok now i see. i thought those were patch files. i did that and got further. now here is what i get

Open your config.php and setup this option
$config['url_path'] = '/';

For instance, if you can access your Cacti by doing to http://127.0.0.1/ then you would change it to
$config['url_path'] = '/';
or if access it like this http://127.0.0.1/cacti/ then change it to
$config['url_path'] = '/cacti/';

That should fix that issue. I do promise to have the install documents on the plugin architecture finished fairly shortly.

Thanks Cig! that did it.

Appreciate your help and your contributions here.

Is there anyway to put in a reporting calendar, so that alerts are only sent at certain times.

I know there is a weekend excpetion, but is there anyway of putting in anything in the code to state time periods when alerts can be disabled on a per datasource setting.

Great job with the Thold plugin.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers

The future schema I am tossing about will include a much more robust scheduler and alerter.

The users that you create for Cacti will have emails, SMS numbers, IM usernames, ect... added into their "accounts". They can then specify what method they perfer to get alerted on at what time. So for instance, when I am in the office from 8am - 5am, then email me. From 5pm - 9pm SMS message my phone, and the rest of the time use my pager.

This way, instead of having to input an email address or SMS number into each and every Threshold, you just assign a user as a Technician to that threshold (or possibly device, and have the device settings set globally over all of the devices thresholds). Another perk, is that this way, if the users email address changes, you change it once, instead of 1000 times.

I also plan to add in a "rotation" option, which will allow you to specify which users to alert at which time frames (we have 4 x 8 hour shifts in our data center, so its better to alert the guys that are here). This will also do what you are requesting above, you will only set it to alert during the hours you want, and the rest of the rotation is blank, so no alerts.
