rsyslog omprog integration Problem
by Serge Müller 05 Oct '15

05 Oct '15

Hi, i'm running observium (latst svn) on a ubuntu 14.04 System. Have Setup rsyslog for udp listening, deployed /etc/rsyslog.d/30-observium.conf as stated in http://www.observium.org/docs/syslog/ However my observium.syslog table stays empty. I have enabled debugging and syslog debuging in config.php so everytime i send a string to /opt/observium/syslog.php the string appears in my observium debug logs. I have started rsyslog in debug mode and (from what rsyslog says) it executes syslog.php: 9163.747286922:7f66a9681700: scriptExec: batch of 1 elements, active (nil), active[0]:1 9163.747293145:7f66a9681700: PROPFILT 9163.747311025:7f66a9681700: Property.: 'inputname' 9163.747324703:7f66a9681700: Operation: 'isequal' 9163.747344027:7f66a9681700: Value....: 'imudp' 9163.747359865:7f66a9681700: Filter: check for property 'inputname' (value 'imudp') isequal 'imudp': TRUE 9163.747370811:7f66a9681700: batch: item 0 PROPFILT 1 9163.747376767:7f66a9681700: scriptExec: batch of 1 elements, active 0x7f66980008e0, active[0]:1 9163.747382283:7f66a9681700: ACTION 0x1fb4d40 [omprog::omprog:;observium] 9163.747404416:7f66a9681700: RRRR: execAct [omprog]: batch of 1 elements, active 0x7f66980008e0 9163.747411147:7f66a9681700: Called action(NotAllMark), processing batch[0] via 'omprog' 9163.747416542:7f66a9681700: Called action(Batch), logging to omprog 9163.747428741:7f66a9681700: submitBatch: enter, nElem 1 9163.747437691:7f66a9681700: tryDoAction 0x1fb4d40, pnElem 1, nElem 1 9163.747443729:7f66a9681700: Action 0x1fb4d40 transitioned to state: itx 9163.747449524:7f66a9681700: entering actionCalldoAction(), state: itx 9163.747471965:7f66a9681700: executing program '/opt/observium/syslog.php' 9163.747917480:7f66a9681700: child has pid 27457 9163.747944939:7f66a9681700: Action 0x1fb4d40 transitioned to state: rdy 9163.747956857:7f66a9681700: action 0x1fb4d40 call returned 0 9163.747978533:7f66a9681700: scriptExec: batch of 1 elements, active 0x7f66980008e0, active[0]:1 9163.748003042:7f66a9681700: STOP and it even returns 0 ! anyone ever stumbled upon such a problem? i put in an additional line in 30-observium.conf :inputname, isequal, "imudp" /var/log/remote/debug.log;observium and it logs my messages just fine any ideas would be highly appreciated best regards Serge

Hi, is it possible to write my own methods for alert contacts? I'd like to add other services, similar to Pushover, which use a JSON API. Is there any documentation I can use to get started? -- Mobile: 07868246225 Skype: tvaughan Twitter: twitter.com/tvaughan

$config['snmp']['max-rep'] working?
by Tim Cooper 02 Oct '15

02 Oct '15

Hi Chaps, I'm trying to use $config['snmp']['max-rep] = 9 to work around an issue with a device that won't return everything from ifAlias when using the default (10), however checking the discovery debug it doesn't actually seem to actually be setting the -Cr option in snmpbulkwalk? Am I missing something else to make this work, or is it actually just not working due to its 'experimental' state in the documentation? Running 0.15.10.7059 Thanks, Tim C

Finally, I managed to have the APP tab, however 2 problems still persist: 1. The NTP Graphs and PDNS the show nothing, just error graph not drawing 2. Under device setting - application I disabled the ntp and pdns application and then they disappeared and I have the message No applications found on this device. however they still are in the folder root@banana:/usr/lib/observium_agent/local# ls -l total 8 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3211 Oct 1 12:00 ntpd -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3211 Oct 1 12:00 powerdns-recursor What's wrong with my observium??? :( Thank You Federico 2015-10-01 8:33 GMT+01:00 Federico Olivieri <lvrfrc87(a)gmail.com>: > Hi Adam, > > I tried to re-install Unix Agent from scratch and I still have a problem. > I double cheked the permission and all files belong to root:root with chmod > +x.
