Disable ipv6 just in Cacti

[itsegner]

Hi,

is there a way to Disable ipv6 in Poller or, Perfences. So it is not using ipv6 entry from DNS name for example server2.its-egner.de ?

I just Want to use IPv4 but the Server should still have ipv6 Address

Greetings

Be more specific. What plugin/component?

Hi,

when I want to add an Devie and enter a Domain with AAA Record it uses ipv6 to try to reach the device. But I want that Cacti use A Record. Hope that clearify

Greetings

I think that this is operating system thing. When you have DNS records "server2.its-egner.de A 1.2.3.4" and "server2.its-egner.de AAAA 2001:...." your OS resolves server2.its-egner.de and got 2 records. All modern OS prefering IPv6.

So you can disable IPv6 on host or add specific DNS record only with IPv4 address.

Hmm. Might be, but on most COmmands you can add like -4 option to force IPv4 and avoid ipv6. Maybe that could be implemented in Device configuration.
