  - ALWAYS assign your host to a site and a group, even if you don't use "Site view"
  - verify mysql is not in strict mode
  - select "Ping and SNMP" for SNMP enabled host, "Ping" for a host which is reachable, "None" for others
  - don't use same names in /include/manage_process.inc and /include/win_services.inc.
  - for direct linking to tab Manage, use this link http://your-server/cacti/plugins/manage/manage_direct.php
  - to configure a device or modify templates, user must have "Update Data Sources" rights
  - for receive messages, try LanTalk XP, better than windows
