Greetings,

I just installed the plugin architecture and the Thold plugin yesterday on my box running Cacti 0.8.6h. For some reason, it is sending multiple alerts. The following generated two email alerts:

php /var/www/html/cacti/plugins/thold/check-thold.php /show /debug
Content-type: text/html
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.9

01/19/2006 01:39:34 PM - THOLD: Poller[0] Checking Thresholds
Checking Threshold : "WC1 - Trunk to w5505a - 3/1"
Data Source : traffic_out went above threshold of 62501 with 1339529
Checking Threshold : "WC1 - Trunk to w5505a - 3/1"
Data Source : traffic_in is normal with 2333119

I have tried this with SMTP, Sendmail and the PHP Mail function. Each option seems to send multiple alerts. Is there something I am doing wrong here?

Thanks,

CB

Do you have a global address set in the settings, and then also have the same address set in each threshold? That is the only real way multiple alerts will be sent.

That was it. Thanks for pointing out what should have been obvious.

What is considered the most efficient mailing method out of the three options?

Thanks,

CB
