Post Detail schedule for thold email alerts ?
Hi.
I´m using cacti with the thold and the monitor plugin.
All works fine and i´m really impressed by cacti (and the plugins).

The alert via email is a really helpful feature. But i have one problem.
Nearly all our server starts a backup-process during the night. Especially servers with a high volume of data need a long time for the backup (up to 2-3 hours). During this time the cpu-load is of course very high and like you could allready imagine: cacti is sending all the alerts to me.

I´m looking for a possibillity to disable the email-alerts during the backup-process, because i´m getting hunderts of emails during this time.
I just found a possiblity to disable it for the weekend.

Someone maybe have any idea?

Thanks for help!
Regards Mario

Hi!
After searching this forum here for a while and lookin on some other forums/sites on the net, i found some posts of people with the same problem like i discribed in my last post.
There was never any answer to this problem, at least no helpful.

I got an idea how to fix maybe this problem. the thold plugin creates a table called "thold_data". Each threshold is stored there. there is a datafield with the email-adress the alert is send to.

Case: I have a server and i dont want to get any emails about a threshold during a timeframe. For example: Because of a backup-process i have a high load between 1 and 3 o´clock in the night.

My idea to solve this is, that i create "update-sql-files" to the erase the email-datafield. The update i start via cronjob at 1 o´clock. And i start another update-script at 3 o´clock which brings my email-adress back to the threshold. Of course this would be much work if u have many thresholds, but at least it works (or i hope it works :) )

I havn´t test it, it was like i said just an idea.
I would be interessted in your opinion.
Thanks a lot.

Thold currently does not have this functionality. If your alert breaches, you will get an email. There is future plans for this, but my time is limited and its not a high priority.

I was wondering if this was added to later release or if there is a workaround.
It will be great if I could disable tholds on a specific time frame.
Any update is much appreciated.
Thanks,

Néstor
