That's all crap added by someone who felt it necessary to add checking kunk to scripts, now apparently it doesn't work. I'll keep it in mind, still on vacation atm :) Sent from my mobile, please excuse brevity and spelling errors. ----- Reply message ----- From: "pechspilz" <pechspilz(a)o11.net> To: "Observium Network Observation System" <observium(a)observium.org> Subject: [Observium] DMI Date: Sun, Aug 11, 2013 13:02 Hi Tom, I've applied some small fixes to the hddtemp and dmi scripts so they run under Ubuntu: dmi (line 12): if [[ `head -c1 /dev/mem 2>&1 | awk '{print $1}'` != 'head:' ]] --> double brackets hddtemp (line 10): nc=`which nc.traditional` --> Since nc has been replaced. Probably, it would be best to check if nc.traditional exists and if yes, us it instead of nc.

Hi, We currently use the serial number and the hardware model in the device info.

Then why does the script exist, you think?

Observium Globe All Devices sit in Ocean
by Josh Hopper 09 Aug '13

09 Aug '13

What I have is more of a question.... * Environment: Sonicwall, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Dell PowerConnect 6224, Dell PowerConnect 3524, Dell PowerConnect 5448, ESX5 and ESX4 Description I have Observium 0.13.8.4256 installed. I believe this is the most updated version. I have entered a sysLocation on all of my devices and within the Observium GUI I set a sysLocation as well. All of my devices sit in the Atlantic ocean. Why? -- Sincerely, Joshua Hopper, A+ CE Network Administrator [cid:image001.jpg@01CE934A.6F0821F0] 420 3rd Ave NW Hickory NC 28601 Office: 828-449-1839x2160 | Cell: 828-855-7565

Yeah. There are some nasty SNMP implementations around. Cisco and netsnmp is pretty to rock solid in terms of responding. Anything else and you might be hitting SNMP bugs, too. Adam.

Performance optimisation (incl. RAM disk vs. SSD)
by Paul Gear 09 Aug '13

09 Aug '13

Hi all, We've got some money in the budget to upgrade our struggling monitoring server, and i'm trying to optimise Observium. Here are our Observium installation stats: Total Up Down Ignored Disabled *Devices <http://observium.buq.org.au/devices/>* 153 <http://observium.buq.org.au/devices/> 138 up <http://observium.buq.org.au/devices/status=1/> 2 down <http://observium.buq.org.au/devices/status=0/> 1 ignored <http://observium.buq.org.au/devices/ignore=1/> 12 disabled <http://observium.buq.org.au/devices/disabled=1/> *Ports <http://observium.buq.org.au/ports/>* 8896 <http://observium.buq.org.au/ports/> 887 up <http://observium.buq.org.au/ports/state=up/> 118 down <http://observium.buq.org.au/ports/state=down/> 927 ignored <http://observium.buq.org.au/ports/ignore=1/> 6837 shutdown <http://observium.buq.org.au/ports/state=admindown/> We're currently running 4 cores, 12 GB RAM, 6 x 15K RPM 3.5" drives in RAID 10. We have about 20 GB of RRDs. Poller-wrapper.py runs with 32 workers and regularly goes over the 500-second mark. The web interface is quite sluggish despite php-xcache being installed. I'm wondering if anyone has done testing as to which is the better approach for RRD storage performance: RAM disk or SSD. RAM seems likely to offer better IOPS, but managing the RAM disk is obviously more overhead, and i'm concerned that syncing the RAM disk elsewhere will have too much of a performance hit while it happens (especially during reboot cycles). RAM is $25 per GB, whereas SSD is $3 per GB (or $25 per GB if you use "write intensive" SSDs - presumably these are rated for a larger number of lifetime writes?). My guess at a config for the new box: 12 cores, 64 GB RAM, 4 x 10K RPM 2.5" drives in RAID 10 for OS, 2 x SSD for /opt/observium/rrd. Any other recommendations about which hardware to put our money towards? Do we need to consider other issues like which type of file system to use for /opt/observium/rrd? Thanks in advance, Paul
