Better for you, perhaps. Our policy is not to spoon feed information we have already provided in the install documentation. If you are not capable of following it, you should not be using observium. We only have limited time to work on the project and do not believe supporting lazy users is an efficient use of that time.

Poller performance
by Ciro Iriarte 16 Mar '13

16 Mar '13

Hi!, I've been running Observium on SLES11 for almost a year. This was on a 8 vCPU + 2GB RAM VMware guest with a 30GB RRD footprint. After adding about 320 new hosts (all of them, network gear) the RRD database went to 130GB and the little machine got peaks of 3k IOPS. The I/O wait was rather hi and the machine would suddently stop responding (Hypervisor stats showed 0% CPU usage). So, I've migrated the installation to a physical machine running Solaris 11 (I know, it's not supported) and without any tunning (mysql/zfs are candidates) I'm seeing polling of 41 devices in about an hour. Is this usual/expected? -- ./poller.php 0/24 February 13, 2013, 18:27 - 27 devices polled in 4048. secs ./poller.php 7/24 February 13, 2013, 18:27 - 27 devices polled in 4075. secs ./poller.php 0/24 February 13, 2013, 18:28 - 27 devices polled in 3803. secs ./poller.php 22/24 February 13, 2013, 18:28 - 27 devices polled in 4404. secs ./poller.php 3/24 February 13, 2013, 18:28 - 28 devices polled in 4417. secs -- IOPS climbed to 5k, comments?

Smokeping Integration
by Tim Calvin 16 Mar '13

16 Mar '13

Trying to get some assistance on integrating Smokeping into Observium. Unable to get the ping tab to appear under my devices. I have read the documentation and seem to have everything in order. Not sure if it is just the way I have the devices named or something else. Smokeping's html files are located at: /var/www/smokeping/ I have edited Observium's config.php to include the following: $config['smokeping']['dir'] = "/var/www/smokeping/"; Observium is using identical hostnames to the ones from the Smokeping config snippet below. I can access the Smokeping webpage and can verify it is working properly. Am I missing something? + dlls-asr9k_tlsn_net host = dlls-asr9k.tlsn.net + sant-asr9k_tlsn_net host = sant-asr9k.tlsn.net + mdld-asr9k_tlsn_net host = mdld-asr9k.tlsn.net Thanks in advance. Tim
