Moving Observium
by William Bauer 29 Dec '16

29 Dec '16

So I have my new CentOS7 system ready to go, moving from a CentOS6 VM. I thought I'd found it before, but I can't find instructions for moving observium to a different system (same x86_64 architecture). I can move the RRDs, but isn't there more to it, like migrating mysql data? I've looked through the documentation. Perhaps I'm just looking for the wrong text. Any links someone can point to, or instructions for moving from one host to another? Thanks. Bill

Question about port tags.
by Sander Koorneef 28 Dec '16

28 Dec '16

Hi guys, I have two ports in my environment with some tags on it. Observium recognizes it as a Customer and some other details. But the thing is; one port is a stacking port without label (1/2/3, what you don't see), and the other one is disabled and also without a label. Maybe I overlooked something. Never created the labels in the first place. The question: how can I clean this up? I can remember that this popped up after a upgrade recently, but cannot remember the version of it :( [cid:86df4c60-7d68-4e23-a87a-19e8b881c859] [cid:a5013af3-87a3-48b2-8ece-5fb44f33ee4f] Running Observium 0.16.11.8262 (27th November 2016) Rolling. With kind regards, Sander Koorneef

Hi All , The last version of Observium v0.16.11.8249 Im unable to grep all of my sensors unlike previous version 0.16.5.

Observium Polling via SSH
by Cailean Keniston 28 Dec '16

28 Dec '16

Hi All, I have an environment that uses Observium but a lot of our systems that we need to keep track of and poll are having ICMP echo requests turned off which makes polling a little difficult. So after making backup copies of the files I am starting to make a module that polls via SSH. Currently it's in the "works under conditions X" stage and I had to bake it into some of the includes code (hence the copies). I guess my main question is this something anyone is interested in being submitted as an option? I'm currently working on the ability to make it more of an automated process, and set up a flag that toggles whether the poller works with ping or ssh. But, if this is so niche that it's not really something cares about then cool, but I thought I would ask in case it could be a useful feature to add for others? And, if it is something that might seem useful then if there's a preferred method of adding it over putting it directly into the existing code I'm perfectly willing to go that route instead so I'm not messing with anyone's flow. Thanks, Cailean

Error
by Jason Vanlandingham 27 Dec '16

27 Dec '16

First time I've seen this. It showed up once today, and once on 24 Nov. I would expect an error like this to happen every time this ran or not at all. What is this? Executable '/opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py' doesn't belong to any package and ProcessUnpackaged is set to 'no'

Observium: sensor class question
by David Schrok 27 Dec '16

27 Dec '16

Hi all, Question: Is there a way to map a sensor to another sensor class? Currently I have a sensor that shows up as a temperature sensor which in fact is a humidity sensor. Would be great if I can map the sensor or OID value as humidity. With kind regards, David Disclaimer ( http://www.avans.nl/over-avans/e-mail-disclaimer )

Re: [Observium] Updates to CentOS7 instructions?

Had problems with this a few months back too.

atime necessary?
by William Bauer 24 Dec '16

24 Dec '16

Being a BSD and Solaris guy (ZFS for years!), I brought up my new Observium installation putting mariadb on one ZFS mirror, and Observium on another. One thing that can improve performance is by disabling the atime attribute on a filesystem. Does Observium or mysql/mariadb care about this, or can I safely disable it on either or both filesystems? It won't impact the normal timestamps, just the tracking of the last access time of individual files. Thanks again.

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to- migrate-a-mysql-database-between-two-servers That creates and migrates a database. You will also need to add and give permissions for a user on your new MySQL server. The installation instructions should explain how that's done since it is the same commands. Then update the config file for Observium to match your new setup. This is probably a basic skill you should know outside of using Observium.

Updates to CentOS7 instructions?
by William Bauer 22 Dec '16

22 Dec '16

I'm replacing a poorly performing VM running CentOS6 with a real computer running CentOS7. The two commands (listed below) early on in the CentOS7 instructions appear to be invalid. I'm not super Linux literate as I know more of the BSD and Solaris worlds. Are there replacement sources for these? Here are the ones currently failing (I've tried no more of the instructions). I suppose these could be only temporary failures: rpm --import http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt rpm -Uvh http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el7.rf.… Any help is appreciated.
