Hello all,

Is there a plugin for cacti that monitors bandwidth thresholds and sends email alerts when they are met?

Thanks for your help.

The Thold plugin

Thanks,

Another question.
My include/config.php doesnt have a place for plugins. Do you know the syntax to add it?

Dan

Dan,

You need to install the Plugin Architecture first. This should make the required changes to many files, as well as the 'include/config.php'.

Have a read of this:

http://cactiusers.org/wiki/PluginArchitectureInstall

And you can download it here:

Thanks for the help.
I installed the plugin-arch successfully.
Then went through the thold plugin install.
I still cant get the plugin working.
Am I missing something?

Dan

Do you just not see a tab or are there errors?

I know I always forget to go to the user management and give my user rights to see the plugin.

That was it.
Thanks

Anyone know if the Host Downed notification works using cactid?? Using Thold.

I think I tried that and it worked, but I can't quite remember. I don't see why it shouldn't.

It does work, but you do have to put in an email in the "alert email" setting for thold.

I've got one listed there cigamit.......I never recieve alert emails for downed hosts?? I do get threshold emails if the threshold is broken. Thought there was some kind of issue using cactid??

Thanks

Ya, seems the location of the hook is only used with cmp.php, not with cactid. I working on moving this to the Monitor plugin, so that it doesn't rely on that hook anymore.
