Hi

I installed the thold plugin and want to alarm me, when the CPU load of a server is more then 80%. I can choose the user, system and nice, but how can I choose the total of them?

Thanks
Michael

Currently thold will only work with single datasources, to set a threshold on the total, you would have to create a datasource template etc.. that returned the total.

Hopefully I can find a way to add this in the future.

Thanks for the fast answer, I'm quite new in Cacti and will try to create this datasource.

At the moment I'm using serves alive to check my servers. I'm testing if apache is running with a keyword on a site. I think something like this would not be possible with Thold, right?

You could easily write a php script to check the web page, and if the keyword is found, output 1, otherwise use 0.

You would have to create a Data Input Method, Data Source template, and graph template, but once you get the hang of how everything works together, you shouldn't have too much trouble.

Hi

The PHP File was not a problem, but creating a Data Input Method, Data Source template, and graph template is quite hard to understand for me.

Can someone help me with this? I would also be willing to pay for this service.

Thanks
Michael

Hi

After working a few hours and reading the documentation I understand now the system a bit bether. I created now everything, but there is no graph. RRD files is generated and everything looks ok, but there is just the titel of the grapf but no PNG file.

I was waiting already about 30min and nothing there, any ideas?
