The relevant code in poller-wrapper is : def get_config_data(): config_cmd = ['/usr/bin/env', 'php', '%s/config_to_json.php' % ob_install_dir] try: proc = subprocess.Popen(config_cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stdin=subprocess.PIPE) except: print("ERROR: Could not execute: %s" % config_cmd) sys.exit(2) return proc.communicate()[0].decode('utf-8') # decode required in python3 try: config = json.loads(get_config_data()) except: print("ERROR: Could not load or parse observium configuration, are PATHs correct?") sys.exit(2) The error is referring to json.loads being unable to parse the output from config_to_json.php. So either config_to_json.php isn’t outputting the config, or it’s not parseable, perhaps it has PHP errors in it. Adam.

Gaps in Graphs
by Justin Radke 03 Jan '20

03 Jan '20

Hello, periodically I have "gaps" in my graphs which appears to be when Observium was unable to reach a particular host. This problem occurs on multiple hosts at the same time on different network segments and I have been unable to find any commonality except for the Observium server itself. I noticed that the gaps in the graph also exist at the same times for Observium's checks of localhost. Checking localhost of course demonstrates this is not a lack of network connectivity outside of the server. At these times I also found these entries but I'm not sure if they are related since they are merely syslog messages but thought I'd mention it: Jan 1 21:39:24 voldemort rsyslogd-2177: imuxsock begins to drop messages from pid 27161 due to rate-limiting Jan 1 21:45:50 voldemort rsyslogd-2177: imuxsock lost 22 messages from pid 27161 due to rate-limiting root@observium(~) :ps auxw | grep 27161 root 27161 0.0 0.0 200848 6520 ?

If I want to see Receive Power, Link Capacity, Transmit Power, etc., I can use this URL: http://10.14.4.76/p2pradios/view=graphs/ But I get all of the devices. I don't see a way to apply filters. Getting here from the Web page, I select Ports/P2P Radios. For Access points, all of their clients show up. In my case, I am seeing 700 devices on a single page. How can I apply a filter?

Memory stats not showing on Juniper MX204s

Hi all, We've just swapped out some Juniper MX80's for MX204s: https://www.juniper.net/us/en/products-services/routing/mx-series/mx204/ and we are running Juniper JunOS 18.2R1.9 ([MX204] Internet Router). We didn't add a new device, but Observium picked it up OK as it has the same details. But I've now noticed memory usage has gone. Any tips? -- Kind Regards, Gavin Henry. http://www.surevoip.co.uk
