I don't think this report should be closed. The stderr indeed shouldn't be discarded. It should be handled like this: poller.php 2> /var/log/cacti_error.log # better: use logger/syslog
or
poller.php 2> tmp_err.log # Every 5 mins
if ( length(tmp_err.log) > 0 ) { # Every day
cat tmp_err.log;
}
At least it shouldn't report every 5 minutes that some hosts are
unreachable. Daily is enough.
