Well after 8 polling cycles using cmd.php, everything appears to be still working  . I'll report back tomorrow if that changes.
1) I see "bug: Allow hostname to include TCP: or UDP: an keep tcp, icmp, udp ping functional" Whats that about?
2) I didn't get the typical database/cacti upgrade screen after installing the new files. That right?
3) I notice my MySQL Thread count jumped from ~5 to ~16 after the upgrade. Whats that about?
4) I noticed my /include/config.php wasn't updated. I see a config.php.dist which does appear to be the updated one (has $database_port). This release changing how Cacti's config file is going to be updated? After doing this change, then I got the typical Cacti upgrade screens....
5) Whats with the new graph template, Multi - Server Disk Space? Not all fields are English for starters. Not exactly labeled the best.
6) I notice a lot of other 'new' Data Templates. Going to become standard to annouce what major templates are being added in each release? |

Sorry, I falied to mention that you need to copy config.php.dist to config.php. 
The data templates, sorry, ignore those.
I would have responded ealier but I got pissed at my computer and reinstalled the OS... Only to find it was all accually the DVD Drive fault...... 
I will repost the source with a clean database. |
