Issues getting the unix-agent to work
by Lewis E. Bogan 10 Apr '16

10 Apr '16

After setting up my target host per instructions, I get this error: [2016/04/10 04:26:47 +0000] poller.php(6436): UNIX-AGENT: Connection on tcp://gitserver:33602 failed. ERROR: 111 Connection refused Selinux is disabled, firewall is disabled. I tried searching the mailing list archives but all I get is a 'not found' error. My server is running on CentOs7. I also tried Ubuntu14. My clients vary from Fedora, Centos7, and Ubuntu. I appreciate any and all assistance offered. Lewis

Syslog timestamps
by Jason Vanlandingham 09 Apr '16

09 Apr '16

When I look at a device's page, the syslog entries shown below are odd... Things that just happened will say "5h 20s". Hovering the mouse pointer over them shows the correct time on the entry. The Observium server and client I'm on both have the correct time. Are those time marks done using GMT? (I'm on Central DST, so that would make sense.) Can that be changed?

snmp.conf change for r7728 and up on Debian/Ubuntu
by Tom Laermans 07 Apr '16

07 Apr '16

Hi all, Due to a MIB move, if you svn up to the latest release, you might encounter silly output from the SNMP library in PHP. This is the case if you have the php5-snmp module installed, and have added our mib directory to /etc/snmp/snmp.conf. To fix this, replace: mibdirs /opt/observium/mibs by mibdirs /opt/observium/mibs:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp I've updated the install docs to reflect this. Tom

Re: [Observium] Question Regarding CISCO and TX Discards
by Richard Müller 06 Apr '16

Hy Guys, thanks to all your feedback. I thought there is some "special black magic command" the guy from the ISP does not know (and me either) - "show int..." is of course known to me and should be known to everybody working on an ISP - but reality looks different. ;-) @Adam: Thanks for the Reference, to sort out the kind of error, this really helps me out.

Question Regarding CISCO and TX Discards
by Richard Müller 06 Apr '16

06 Apr '16

Hy Observium Community I have a router, which is only accessible via SNMP from my company, and it shows up some TX-Discards Just look on this picture: [cid:image001.png@01D1903E.84B547A0] Unfortunately the company who is administering the Router tells me that they do not see any error. I really do not have a clue which kind of Tx Discards these are and how they can be shown in CLI. Does anybody have a clue which “show” Command I have to tell the guy from the ISP that he is seeing these kinds of errors, also. It is a CISCO2911/K9 and it is a Gigabit Ethernet Interface. Thanks in advance.

Monitoring job status
by Mark Creamer 06 Apr '16

06 Apr '16

Hi, is there a way within Observium to monitor a file system to check that a new file appears at a given time, or alternatively to monitor a log for an entry to appear? The idea is, there are some scheduled tasks running on a Linux server. We can have each task do something on completion, like write a file somewhere, write to a log, post to a database, etc. We want to see if Observium can watch for something like that and alert if it doesn't occur. Method is completely undecided at this point so any ideas are much appreciated. Thanks, -- Mark
