Invalid hosts #197

Have a nice day!

We had a problem where the device name says invalid_host in syslog, especially for Raisecom switches. However, management sends its own host name as SNMP information. Thanks for help.

You have dns resolution enabled and the host does not have a good entry for the ip address in DNS. Just add the hostname to Cacti's /etc/hosts or add the ip address to DNS or disable reverse host resolution. This is not a bug.
