Is there possible to setup thold (and other plugin) to be launched with multi thread / process like spine ?

I've searched who plugin are launched into cmd.php but I've not found.

Currently not, at least not out of the box. All plugins using a "poller_*" hook are executed from within poller.php. And poller.php is not multi-threaded ATM

Thank you for your answer.

This feature will be good for large deployement of Cacti.

In fact 1 thread = one mysql thread. On a multicore system all statement are executed only on one CPU.

The mysql thingy was lately removed (AFAIK) by a patch for main trunk of cacti. Did not try it yet.

here's an ongoing discussion about a more flexible cacti arch

Jimmy could fork inside of Thold that would allow multiple processes. I will be "in tune" with THold in a few weeks.
