We have the option to connect to some devices via the options shown in the screenshot below: [image: Inline image 1] However, our switches (Force10) don't have those options. As shown below. [image: Inline image 2] Is there a way to add those options to devices that need them? Thank you,

Re: [Observium] Unix-Agent Not Working

Hi Ron Thanks for the reply however the - was meant to be the _ (was going by memory when i wrote yhe email) and went through those instructions a number of times. When I tried to execute ./bind locally all but blank... Telnetung the server on the port returns alot of data however I could not see anything bind related however not 100% on what it'd going to display. Sent from my Samsung GALAXY S4 on the Telstra mobile network -------- Original message -------- From: Ron Marosko <ron(a)rjr-services.com> Date: 15/04/2016 9:04 pm (GMT+10:00) To: 'Observium Network Observation System' <observium(a)observium.org> Subject: Re: [Observium] Unix-Agent Not Working You should have been following the instructions located here: http://observium.org/docs/unix_agent/ Those are the instructions I follow, and have the unix agent working quite wonderfully. Based on what you described, “placing the Observium-agent and bind application in /usr/lib/Observium-agent/local” it would seem you didn’t follow the correct installation document, as “observium_agent” is to be installed in /usr/bin. You also don’t indicate whether you did the appropriate components with xinetd, that would similarly cause issues. Finally, inside the device properties on your observium server, you need to indicate the telnet port (36602) on the appropriate agent page, as well as enable the unix_agent function on the modules page. It’s really a much better idea to enable that only on a device-by-device basis as opposed to global enablement in the config.php file. Also, it’s worth changing directly to the /usr/lib/observium_agent/local directory and executing each script manually, this will determine if all the dependencies for each script are actually installed. For example, I use the ntpd monitoring script on my servers, and I don’t always have php installed on every server… so when I run the ./ntpd script, it kicks out an error that php isn’t installed. Duh, “apt-get php5-cli”, then I run the ntpd script again, and now I have valid data. I personally use nsd and unbound for authoritative and client lookups respectively instead of bind, so don’t have any experience with that bind script specifically. Maybe also try some of the other information gathering modules (dpkg, hddtemp, raspberrypi, etc., as appropriate) and see if those are also gathering information and being displayed on the server information page. …Ron From: observium [mailto:observium-bounces@observium.org] On Behalf Of Cameron Murray Sent: Thursday, April 14, 2016 11:29 PM To: Observium Network Observation System Subject: [Observium] Unix-Agent Not Working Guys, We’ve installed the Unix-Agent today on a DNS server in the hope of have Observium monitor bind.

(Not)Ignored Ports
by Robert Williams 14 Apr '16

14 Apr '16

Hi, It looks like ignored ports are suddenly being included in the 'Device Status Notifications' for Errors. We have quite a few devices which have 'expected' errors (half-duplex IP-PDUs etc.) so are now being spammed with error'ed ports: They _do_ disappear if I select the device itself to be ignored, but they used to be silenced just by setting the 'Alerts' column to 'No'. Is this an error - or is there now an intentional new variable which I need to set in config.php to ignore them? Cheers guys!
