Integration with Nagions/Smokeping - How does it work?
by Sam Munzani 25 Apr '13

25 Apr '13

Hi, I am new to Observium. Downloaded it last week and got a few devices working on it. Did Rancid plug-in and now all configs show up on Observium. I also added following to config.php and have Nagios3 and Smokeping running independently on the same box. However I don't know how its supposed to show up. Rancid was obvious because of the extra tab that shows up. How does it work with nagios and smoke ping? The documentation on these integration is very light. $config['rrdtool'] = "/usr/bin/rrdtool"; $config['fping'] = "/usr/bin/fping"; #$config['fping6'] = "/usr/bin/fping6"; $config['snmpwalk'] = "/usr/bin/snmpwalk"; $config['snmpget'] = "/usr/bin/snmpget"; $config['snmpbulkwalk'] = "/usr/bin/snmpbulkwalk"; $config['whois'] = "/usr/bin/whois"; $config['ping'] = "/bin/ping"; $config['mtr'] = "/usr/bin/mtr"; $config['nmap'] = "/usr/bin/nmap"; $config['nagios_plugins'] = "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins"; $config['ipmitool'] = "/usr/bin/ipmitool"; $config['smokeping']['dir'] = "/var/lib/smokeping/"; #$config['virsh'] = "/usr/bin/virsh"; Also, does it have an ability to add a few URL monitors? I didn't see a reference in the documentation anywhere. Thanks, Sam

Hy all, i'm using observium to monitor my network devices, i've seen there are applications that could be as well monitored. are these applications to be maintained or to be dropped ? i'm evaluating zabbix as well, so just wondering if i should keep both ? feedback appreciated, Regards

To make sure this is the case, agent scripts should have the absolute minimum of code. Where possible, just command output or cat'd files, updating php, perl and python scripts after deployment may prove difficult... :) Adam.

Hi, We're using a combination of Icinga (nagios) and Observium to monitor our network, some things Icinga do really well, and some things Observium do very well.

Changes made to Devices > Locations
by Sonny Kupka 23 Apr '13

23 Apr '13

Hello, Seems there was a change in code which effects - Devices > Locations. I had set each device with a specific sysLocation - and checked override sysLocation in the device settings. This was working as expected, until I ran updates - Now instead of having my defined locations - It now shows countries - Canada, England, Unknown and all my stuff is showing up under unknown. Is there a place to read about configuration changes - I may need to re-adjust - or is this a bug - as override sysLocation is now overwritten by something else? Thanks. Sonny
