Discovery Plugin - Discovered Devices Disappearing?

Post by Voiper99 »

Hi all, I am Discovery Plugin 0.9, Cacti 8.7e, PIA 2.6, and am having an issue where devices will be discovered in one poll, but then in the next one they disappear and my other new devices (with different IP addresses) appear.

I have configured the plugin to scan every one hour but I assumed that if I didn't do anything after they have been discovered, they'd stay in the list until I did do something?

Also, is there a way I can do to make the plugin poll in less than one hour (during testing)?

Pull the 1.0 plugin from SVN. This disappearing device issue is still there, but it will be faster, but is not parallelized.

It's best not to install on DHCP/Client networks. Not a good idea.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?
