PowerDNS Recursive Server application
by Kevin Riahi 18 Jan '24

18 Jan '24

What is the process for support on applications for observium subscribers? In this case the PowerDNS Recursive Server application. Should we reach out to the original author. In this case the script is very simple and it seems it has no documented authors. The issue is the script is no longer working even though it was in the past. It may be because PowerDNS Recursive Server 4.8 has made permission changes to /var/run/pdns-recursor/pdns_recursor.controlsocket Testing the script /usr/lib/observium_agent/local/powerdns-recursor and it will execute with below error. <<<app-powerdns-recursor>>> Fatal: Unable to connect to remote '/var/run/pdns-recursor/pdns_recursor.controlsocket': Permission denied Here is the powerdns-recursor script . #!/bin/sh recctrl=`which rec_control` if [ $? -eq 0 ] then echo '<<<app-powerdns-recursor>>>' $recctrl get-all fi TIA Kevin

dear team: is there any documentation about the structure of the database where the info is located? we are about to create a dashboard with Grafana and we will connect Observium to it.

sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do i read traffic graphs???
by Tony Guadagno 27 Sep '23

27 Sep '23

Hi, after several years of using Observium, it just occurred to me recently that I am not sure how to read the traffic graphs. For example, I always thought that above "0" on the horizontal axis was transmit and below was receive. But as I look closer, that cannot be. Also, the colors on the graph do not seem to line up with the legend...for example in this graph, I see 4 colors, light/dark green and light/dark purple. But the legend seems to have the same color for g0/0/0 as g0. I guess my questions are: How are transmits and receives represented on the traffic graphs? Why are the colors in the graph not lining up with the legend? What does negative 100M represent? thanks [cid:image004.jpg@01D9F11E.FB948DB0] Tony Guadagno O +1 585 577 1003 C +1 585 703 6700 E tonyg(a)guadagnoconsulting.com<mailto:tonyg@guadagnoconsulting.com> [cid:image001.jpg@01D84DD6.FC9912E0]
