Application Stats
by Ciro Iriarte 16 Mar '13

Hi!, what's the state of application data collection?. I had stats for mysql and apache on my original install, but after it's reincarnation the application collection doesn't seem to work any more, was that moved to the unix agent? We would like to include application counters to observium and most of them are custom developments. Today we have cacti installs everywhere, but having all that info in one place would be great.

I had 100 centos boxes to maintain last year and wrote it. I have never used sles, so it would be unmaintainable. Adam.

Read the redhat installation instructions properly, this is trivially obvious. You did not follow them properly. You thought you knew better. This has resulted in you looking foolish.

Interesting way to talk to someone who's code you run without reading first... ilkay.karadam(a)servisturk.com.tr wrote: >_______________________________________________ >observium mailing list >observium(a)observium.org >http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium

Better for you, perhaps. Our policy is not to spoon feed information we have already provided in the install documentation. If you are not capable of following it, you should not be using observium. We only have limited time to work on the project and do not believe supporting lazy users is an efficient use of that time.

Poller performance
by Ciro Iriarte 16 Mar '13

16 Mar '13

Hi!, I've been running Observium on SLES11 for almost a year. This was on a 8 vCPU + 2GB RAM VMware guest with a 30GB RRD footprint. After adding about 320 new hosts (all of them, network gear) the RRD database went to 130GB and the little machine got peaks of 3k IOPS. The I/O wait was rather hi and the machine would suddently stop responding (Hypervisor stats showed 0% CPU usage). So, I've migrated the installation to a physical machine running Solaris 11 (I know, it's not supported) and without any tunning (mysql/zfs are candidates) I'm seeing polling of 41 devices in about an hour. Is this usual/expected? -- ./poller.php 0/24 February 13, 2013, 18:27 - 27 devices polled in 4048. secs ./poller.php 7/24 February 13, 2013, 18:27 - 27 devices polled in 4075. secs ./poller.php 0/24 February 13, 2013, 18:28 - 27 devices polled in 3803. secs ./poller.php 22/24 February 13, 2013, 18:28 - 27 devices polled in 4404. secs ./poller.php 3/24 February 13, 2013, 18:28 - 28 devices polled in 4417. secs -- IOPS climbed to 5k, comments?
