Threshold was working great.
I had:
- A new install of Cacti 0.8.6g
- Installed Plugin Architecture right away
- Installed Threshold, Monitor and Report Plugin
I added three hosts with "UNIX Ping" threshold alarms and life was good!
Pings went over 150ms and I got Threshold alarms.

Then I moved the Cacti server to it's new home.
The server was given a new IP address and Thresholds still worked great.

I decided to add the newly updated "Advanced PING" addon.
I realized my PHP was missing "socket_create()" ability.

I recompiled and re-installed PHP:
cd /usr/src/php-5.0.5
make clean
./configure --with-apxs2=/opt/apache/bin/apxs --with-mysql=/opt/mysql --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl --with-mssql=/usr/local --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/lib --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib --with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/lib --enable-exif --with-png-dir=/usr/local/lib --enable-calendar --enable-ftp --with-libxml-dir=/usr/local/lib --with-snmp=/opt/net-snmp/ --enable-fastcgi --enable-magic-quotes --enable-mbstring --enable-sockets
make install

Now the new "Advanced PING" was working.
I added a few hosts and admired "Advanced PING" - life still good.

I went back to adding remote hosts to Cacti.
I added a standard "UNIX Ping" Threshold set for 150ms.
15 minutes later, I looked at the Threshold tab.
My original 3 hosts had values in the current status field.
My newly created host was blank for "Current"
I checked the graph, it was getting data.
In fact all hosts were still graphing data.
ONLY the original 3 hosts had a value in the "Current" field.
I deleted and re-created, but still no data.
I deleted my original three hosts.
I re-added one.
No data for anything in the "Current" field.

So, my next thought, can I check via the command line?
I did this:
/usr/local/bin/php /opt/apache/htdocs/cacti/plugins/thold/check-thold.php
10/29/2005 08:20:51 PM - POLLER: Poller[0] Checking Thresholds

Not really much info via the command line.

So I deleted the thold tables from the database.
I added a new Threshold and and my thold tables came back.
Still no data in the "Current" field.

Not really sure what to do next.
Any thoughts? :?

Update:
Very confused.
I woke up this morning and I now have values in the "Current" field.
Very disturbing.
Oh, well, it would still be nice to have some debug ability to see how the Current field gets it's values.

did you ever find out what changed? i'm battling this exact same thing right now.

No luck for me on debugging, see my other thread:

i was able to fix this by renaming the function rrd_last in thold-functions.php. the error i was getting was: PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare rrd_last()

I was able to fix one problem I had by redownloading the lastest thold.tar.gz from this site.

I will try the "weekend" exemption bug if I can this weekend to see if this issue was fixed as well.
