Upgrading Thold to the latest version
Sometimes during the upgrade process, not all required columns or table may have been added to the database. This error may manifest itself with an “Error: Save failed” message when trying to save changes to a device.
A possible fix to this is to manually call the upgrade.php script. To do this, go to the command line and change to the thold plugin. Then call the upgrade script:
cd /path/to/cacti/plugins/thold php extras/upgrade.php
Then re-try saving a device. You will see the following messages:

CSV Export in Cacti is not working
Sometimes it may happen that the CSV export from a Cacti graph is not working for large date ranges. You then may see an error 500 being returned by the browser. If this happens, you should try increasing the memory limit of your php instance.
This can be achieved by editing the php.ini file and changing the following line:
memory_limit = 64M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume
Try settings this to 256M:
memory_limit = 256M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume
and restart your webserver. On CentOS you can use the following command:
/etc/init.d/httpd reload
