Thold 2.x - Thresholding/Alerting module for cacti 8.6

[cigamit]

Hi john le lardon,

yes, also I think it's the highest number for the variable in source search.

I do not understand as it is possible that nobody is able of giving some suggestion. Am I the only person who has tried to send warnings for hd usage???
May be it is a thold (or cacti) bug????

thanks

You are not the only one who sends warnings for HD, I do believe that the particular problem you have is because of the column in thold_data

Code: Select all

thold_hi int(50)

changing this to something like

Code: Select all

thold_hi varchar(100)

should do the trick.

I personally do not have this problem, as I have rewritten the templates and script to also return the HD% as a data source (and to not return floppies, cd-roms, ect...), which allows me to set a threshold on the % of used space. So whenever we hit 90%, it alerts me no matter what size the drive is.

Hi cigamit

thanks a lot for the help!!!!!!
Your suggestion is correct, this was the last thing in order to put cacti in my production environment.
Thanks Thanks!!!!

Only 2 questions:

1) Only one curiosity: Why thold_hi is set to int(50) as default? Is it a bug?

2) you told:

Can you provide me a step by step guide to make the same thing?? How can I find your template and can you write all necessaries step to use it?
I ask you a guide because unfortunately I'm not a guru and I think also this could be useful for others stupid people like me.
I would like also write a manual with screenshots and steps I followed for beginners like me.

Thanks a lot!!!

1) think about useless memory and faster operation, and some devloper do variable like this because don't realize the use of this variables ( in first way is for monitoring the link in network, do you have a link with more than 2GB of bandwith?)

There is only another small problem that I ask you to solve; it hasn't high priority thus I can wait but it is annoying.
In current column the value is always 2147483647. I suppose I shoud change another value in the table. Can you tell me exactely what I need to change? I attach a screenshot.

I have also 2 questions:

1) Only one curiosity: Why thold_hi is set to int(50) as default? Is it a bug? Can you set it to varchar(100) as default for next release?

Hi john le lardon,

yes, I agree with you, a programmer must pay attention to declare variables and their size but, although I haven't never seen 2gb of bandwith, I think is quite common to have 80/100/200 gb of hd.

Thankls

i know this is old news, but i'm getting the same thing. i read the entire thread and didnt really see a solution to this. i could try a reinstall of cacti, but i'd rather not unless its unavoidable.

i'm using:

debian 3.1
apache 1.3.33
php 4.3.10-13
mysql 4.1.11-3

i get this error from the command line trying to run check-thold.php or when i try to add a new threshold via cacti.

Hi,

Thanks cacti team for a great product, really something I've been looking for years now.

I am using cacti and thold using the normal poller.cmd, I want to switch to cactid but worried that this may break things.

Can someone confirm that the use of cactid poller will keep things running the way they are?

Thanks

I'm running Cacti 0.8.6d with cmd.php and have installed thold [thold-cacti-0.8.6d.zip) posted by [asm].

I can't se the current value and setting low threshold to one for example shows always an alert because no date are checked.

Any ideas ?

I have been away from this project for a while -

I would appreciate if the contributors could send me a PM or email me - aurelio_desimone@yahoo.com - so I can get caught up on the fixed bugs and the exisiting ones -

I want to make sure thold will be compatable with 8.6e and 9...

thanks
Aurelio
