9 years ago Have you tried running it in debug mode (with a -d)?
What version of PHP are you using?
What OS/version are you on?
When you run it in debug, does it happen immediately or on a particular host (assuming you have multiple hosts in your cacti instance)?
Before line 282, put in:
dpdiscover_debug("Check host description: ".$host['description']."\n");
And do a manual run with -d, which will verify that there's something there that works as an index. If it comes up blank, then there's either some odd bug in the code that I'm not seeing or you have a device with no description or a blank description (which is bad).
Also, if you could look at your raw database, doing something like:
SELECT id, description, hostname FROM host;
and ensure that each field actually does have something in it, that would help.
Any odd characters in your descriptions?
Without more information, I'm inclined to blame my lack of checking for valid data.
Thing is, looking more at it, I would wonder how $dphost would qualify as a valid index if $host['description'] does not. Very odd.
In any event, the main thing I'd like to see first off is if we can identify the description it's bugging out on, or if it bugs immediately, look at what version of PHP you're using vs my systems.

Hi all together
when I install the DPDiscover plugin and do a manual findhost.php run (php findhost.php) I get an error of an invalid String index on line 282.
The $host['description'] is poppulated with the name of the switch.
Can you have a look at that
thanks Thomas
