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.

Every 5 minutes I get emails like these:
=20
Timeout: No Response from pc2:161.
Timeout: No Response from pc3:161.
Timeout: No Response from elite:161.
you can set them to be ignored by changing
*/5 * * * * www-data /usr/share/cacti/site/poller.php /dev/null
to
*/5 * * * * www-data /usr/share/cacti/site/poller.php /dev/null 21
in /etc/cron.d/cacti. the reason why this started now is that someone
requested that i stop discarding stderr because it could silently hide
more serious problems, and i think that makes sense.
so, i'm going to go ahead and close this one.
