Replicate deleted device status instead of poller sync

[bmfmancini]

Hey Guys!

Currently in a multi poller setup when you delete a device that device will hang around until full poller sync is done
I have my poller sync disabled I manually do it for big changes or auth changes etc

It would be nice and helpful if when a device is deleted that the change is pushed so that the device deletes without a poller sync

Thanks!

This seems more to be a bug.

Good to know I thought it was by design but yea maybe would make sense to be a bug
I have noticed it since 1.2.7

This is interesting, the 1.2.15 code should be removing those entries. My guess is that a mostly blank host entry is coming back as you are likely deleting the entry while the poller is running, and it's being added back again due to an update. I won't be able to fix this today, might need a day to re-verify the code, as it's supposed to have a delay.

I've looked over the code, we wait 500 seconds before removing taking a second shot at removing the remote device. As far as I can tell, this is working as expected. The only case where this will break is when the Cacti attempts to perform the purge, and the remote data collector can not be reached, in which case, you only option will be a full sync, which I have recently made a little less intrusive. So, let's just stick with that.

Thanks for taking a look It's so strange I have multiple installs including my lab that don't act this way From the main collector you delete the device its marked as deleted in the deleted column with deleted = on I even gave the system a day to see if the device purges but it doesn't Confirmed main poller is able to talk to remote and vice versa but the device remains until a full sync What's more is that the device will not be present in the device list but if you have thold or monitor it will show in that plugins device list I'll keep digging

Send an email to my cacti account with your mobile. I'll buzz you on Monday. Have to do it at lunch or evenings if we do it during the week.
