My apologies…. Not using hddtemp script. Using the temperature script (that uses hddtemp).. sn = serial number. Using ZFS on Linux by-vdev definition to map /dev/hd? -> /dev/disk/by-vdev/(sn - serial number) My temperature script below as on monitored host. #!/bin/bash echo "<<<temperature>>>" echo “(sn 1):" `hddtemp /dev/disk/by-vdev/(sn 1) -n` echo “(sn 2):" `hddtemp /dev/disk/by-vdev/(sn 2) -n` echo “(sn 3):" `hddtemp /dev/disk/by-vdev/(sn 3) -n` echo “(sn 4):" `hddtemp /dev/disk/by-vdev/(sn 4) -n` echo “(sn 5):" `hddtemp /dev/disk/by-vdev/(sn 5) -n` ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2014 10:27:27 -0600 From: "Ron Marosko" <ron(a)rjr-services.com <mailto:ron@rjr-services.com>> To: "'Observium Network Observation System'" <observium(a)observium.org <mailto:observium@observium.org>> Subject: Re: [Observium] hddtemp on CE 0.14.4.5 Message-ID: <001b01d005a8$0aa08140$1fe183c0$(a)rjr-services.com <mailto:001b01d005a8$0aa08140$1fe183c0$@rjr-services.com>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Just having a look at the hddtemp agent script. # hddtemp sensor readings # needs hddtemp daemon listening on (at least) localhost # requires netcat to be installed and in the path Have you satisfied those requirements?

Great product. Looking forward to evaluating the subscription version after I get a minimum base operational using the CE edition. I have an issue around viewing HDD TEMP graphs driven by data extracted from the UNIX agent and hddtemp script. I can confirm output when auditing output of: telnet (hostname) 36602 or ./poller.php -h (hostname) -d I can also confirm temp. sensor driven graphs do come up for other hosts when using SNMP lmsensors, however not for unix-agent / hddtemp data sources. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thank you.

r6001 backward compatibility
by Tom Laermans 21 Nov '14

21 Nov '14

Dear all, Revision 6001 cleans up a bunch of old code paths that should not have been used in recent days. If you are upgrading from a revision before r5000, it's probably best to upgrade to r6000 (svn up -r6000) first, run a full discovery and poll cycle, then upgrade to latest trunk. We've removed RRD renaming code for files which should since long have been renamed, and variables that should not exist anymore in your config. Variables to double check: $config['email_*'] should be renamed to $config['email'][*] instead. Tom

Groups
by Milton Ngan 21 Nov '14

21 Nov '14

What is the intention of the groups feature? It seems like a really powerful way to group stuff together and have interesting views of things. But right now it just generates a list of entities that you can click through or hover over. I took a look at the code that generates all the various graph layouts (iftypes, health, ports). It seems that every page has its own code for handling the graph layout. It seem like this would be a great place to leverage a bunch of the existing code so you can create group specific views of sensors, ports etc... But it doesn't look like the code is structured that way (i.e reusable components/widgets). The standard views are good, but I want to be able to see them on a per datacenter/region basis rather than globally. The global view is visually interesting/pretty it is less useful.

Re: [Observium] Avoid Ignored Ports
by Pedersen, Sean 21 Nov '14

21 Nov '14

Where are you disabling / ignoring the ports? Screenshot(s) would be helpful here. You can set each port to poll or alert (Yes/No) under the settings of the device the port is on. I¹m not sure if the Alert toggle is tied to the new alerts or a remnant of the old alerting system.

Hello All: Just upgraded to v14. Curious if there is a way to use the old map on the frontpage, the map from v13? Thank you. -Jonathan

Hi Guys, I am looking to setup an alert check for LSI & Adaptec RAID arrays, however looking over the docs and I uncertain on how to properly configure it. Here is what I think I know: -Use the Observium agent to query the RAID controller and drive status -Create an alert check under “sensor” What I don’t know -The rest of the variables for the alert check Thanks guys! -Lane
