MCutting,
Sorry it took so long to get back, my wife and I are in the process of moving and we have been working on the house, and I have been out of the office. The tables all appear to be there. Here is my Show Tables from MySQL:

The only error that I am getting is:

Code: Select all

 Champ 'mail' from table 'manage_host' : 	NOK	(0.5)
I did notice, that with this error, I am unable to add new items to be monitored, so i think that something is missing from my manage_hosts table, i just can't figure it out from the SQL statements.

Let me know

thanks

Well i'll be damned, i figured it out!! For some reason the following line was not processed during the upgrade:

Code: Select all

 ALTER TABLE manage_host ADD `mail` TEXT;
Once i processed that line, everything is happy!!!

Now on to try out the discovery plugin from the SVN.

sbala - Click on DEVICE MANAGING / DEVICE. Choose one of the devices in question, and have a look at the HOST THRESHOLD field. This is probably set to "0". If it is, set this to "1" or a higher number if you don't want to be alerted unless the device is down more than 1 poll.

Save the setting, and then test - let me know the outcome.

Benton2006 - have a look at the post I left for sbala - this should also apply to the same problem you are having.

Let me know if this works for you.

Gilles - Will you be releasing Manage 0.5.2 soon ? I was looking at the overlib you have in the screenshots, but can't seem to find this on the version I have - is this new ?

Can anyone get the Host treshold to work?

I set a device with 5 in the Host treshold field and was alerted on the first down event. Isn't it supposed to alert me only on the fifth down event?

I had this same issue. It was due to having a 0 in the threshold for each host initially. Removing the host, re-adding it, and then setting the threshold after the first poll fixes this.

Look at the first page of this topic. All the download links are listed there. The most up-to-date (and stable) release is 0.5.1.

How fast can this plugin detect that a host is down, does it use the default 5 minutes polling interval or can you specify a custom ping interval?

If you use the CACTI poller, it will be 5 minutes. If you use the MANAGE poller, you can set it to be whatever interval you want.
