Where in the install guide did it tell you to do that? What else did you modify?

Problems populating graphs
by Ross Ashley 08 Nov '13

08 Nov '13

I'm trying to setup an airport extreme. I think I've successfully set it up both from the command line with add_device.php and from the web page, (I deleted it and then added it). The static info for it appears but any graphic info doesn't. All the graphs are empty, showing Nan rrdtool dump yields Nan for all data other than static info. Here is a portion of what I mean; <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE rrd SYSTEM "http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/rrdtool.dtd">  <rrd> <version>0003</version> <step>300</step>  <lastupdate>1383934188</lastupdate>  <ds> <name> icmpInMsgs </name> <type> COUNTER </type> <minimal_heartbeat>600</minimal_heartbeat> <min>NaN</min> <max>1.0000000000e+11</max>  <last_ds>69</last_ds> <value>0.0000000000e+00</value> <unknown_sec> 288 </unknown_sec> </ds> <ds> <name> icmpOutMsgs </name> <type> COUNTER </type> <minimal_heartbeat>600</minimal_heartbeat> <min>NaN</min> <max>1.0000000000e+11</max>  <last_ds>31</last_ds> <value>0.0000000000e+00</value> <unknown_sec> 288 </unknown_sec> </ds> ... I followed the installation instructions twice :-) but I can't seem to get any data to appear. Can someone give me an idea of something to check? Thanks. Ross

+1 re: bsd
by Rob VanHooren 07 Nov '13

+1 (++good) for a maintained BSD port. but draw the line at slowaris or other nasty *nix. there’s a reason AIX is a homonym of “aches”. alternatively, go the IncrediblePBX route, call it “embedded” and pack it into a VM. ideally, both … if embedded BSD is good enough for StatSeeker, pfSense, or FreeNAS; it’s good enough for us! LOL. by some unfathomable logic, packing up something into an OVF container (along with replacing bash with busybox, and tossing phone-home/updates into a cron job) is an acceptable way to avoid the political agony of introducing Obs into some brain-dead enterprise ‘doze-only shops that forbid OpenSores. ps adam — suggest any future “enterprise" license (if any) should be $8,500/year for those types (under $10k tax-in, so you stay at the discretion boundary of 1st-level budget approvers). Plus another 30% for next-business-day email “support” maintenance. Otherwise, they’ll think you’re just kidding. (keep it the Exact Same Thing as the svn version, but it just costs more … because somehow, that makes it legitimate! ) $0.02 R.

Mailing list: Subs only, or open access?

Hi All, Someone mentioned during the "Support Gate" scandal at the weekend that we might consider making the mailing list accessible to subscribers only. Do you guys think this is a good idea? adam.
