Operating System: Windows XP Sp2
Webserver: Apache Http server 2.2.11
Cacti: Version 0.8.7e

Spine: Version 0.8.7c

Windows Installer v1.92

MySQL: version 5 that comes with the latest installer of cacti
PHP: 5.2 that comes with the latest installer of cacti
RRDTool (Cygwin or Win32 version): that comes with the latest installer of cacti
Net-SNMP: version 5.4.1.3 that comes with the latest installer of cacti
Cygwin (cygwin1.dll version): that comes with the latest installer of cacti
Plugin Architecture: none.

is there any way to do an automatic query_reload for monitored hosts.
i need this cuz i`m monitorig a cisco router that is connected with DSL with a dynamic ip and use's Dyndns to have a static DNS name so i can monitor it, so when the ip is changed the router update's it's own DNS name with the new ip so the host will be state as up in the cacti cuz cacti is configured to reach the host through that DNS name like hhhhh.gotdns.com.

the problem is when the ip is changed all the graphs for the host is fine but not the cisco port`s graph the port that is connected to the DSL the one that i`m monitoring, the graph start to fill a blank graph untill i make a manual query_reload for the monitored router so the cacti reread the monitored cisco router port`s new name witch include the new ip then it start's graphing again, so is there any command that could do query_reload so i can make it in a Batch file and have it as a scheduled task.

\cacti\cli\poller_reindex_hosts.php or poller_graphs_reapply_names.php should do the trick.

\cacti\cli\poller_reindex_hosts.php has worked like charme,

is there any way to have this script running each time a host comes up from a down state.

If the reindex method for that data query is 'Uptime Goes Backwards', cacti should automatically do that.

actually the reindex method for that data query is already set 'Uptime Goes Backwards' and cacti is not doing it automaticly, i'm wondring what dose the "Verify All Fields" method mean?

only "Verify All Fields" has achieve what i need. i think becuse the device or te host is not rebooted it`s only dissconnect and reconnect with a new ip.
recording to the link u post
Uptime Goes Backwards:Refers to a system reboot. Cacti will detect if the target has been rebootet by querying sysUptime.

but it`s filling up the logs with this
07/04/2009 06:14:45 PM - PCOMMAND: Poller[0] Host[20] WARNING: Recache Event Detected for Host
07/04/2009 06:14:45 PM - PCOMMAND: Poller[0] Host[23] WARNING: Recache Event Detected for Host
07/04/2009 06:14:45 PM - PCOMMAND: Poller[0] Host[26] WARNING: Recache Event Detected for Host

for all the hosts that i have set it`s reindex method to "Verify All Fields"
