Modify Cacti Alerts In Mass

So I’m updating syslog and thold alerts in mass…removing an email address actually. Here are a couple of quick find and replace statements:

Syslog Alerts

1

use syslog;
update syslog_alert set email=replace(email,', [email protected]','');

Thold Alerts

1
2

use cacti;
update cacti set thold_data=replace(notify_extra,'[email protected], ','');

    Hi Greg,

    This is just a general question regarding Cacti. Do you still prefer it over alternatives like Zabbix? Why?

    @Grega
    I’ve not explored other systems for so long, that I’ve just stuck with Cacti because it works. If I had enough free time to test I might move. I’ve heard good things about Zabbix.
