MIBs are not what you think they are :) Short answer is no. Adam. Rachid Zarouali <rzarouali(a)gmail.com> wrote: >_______________________________________________ >observium mailing list >observium(a)observium.org >http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium

This is all done in rrdtool, so purely graphical initially. It is possible to extract this kind of data from rrdtool in numerical form, but it's quite slow, certainly too slow to do in the poller. Also, I would say in this instance you would set a warning at 75%. Much easier :) Adam.

Integration with Nagions/Smokeping - How does it work?
by Sam Munzani 24 Apr '13

24 Apr '13

Hi, I am new to Observium. Downloaded it last week and got a few devices working on it. Did Rancid plug-in and now all configs show up on Observium. I also added following to config.php and have Nagios3 and Smokeping running independently on the same box. However I don't know how its supposed to show up. Rancid was obvious because of the extra tab that shows up. How does it work with nagios and smoke ping? The documentation on these integration is very light. $config['rrdtool'] = "/usr/bin/rrdtool"; $config['fping'] = "/usr/bin/fping"; #$config['fping6'] = "/usr/bin/fping6"; $config['snmpwalk'] = "/usr/bin/snmpwalk"; $config['snmpget'] = "/usr/bin/snmpget"; $config['snmpbulkwalk'] = "/usr/bin/snmpbulkwalk"; $config['whois'] = "/usr/bin/whois"; $config['ping'] = "/bin/ping"; $config['mtr'] = "/usr/bin/mtr"; $config['nmap'] = "/usr/bin/nmap"; $config['nagios_plugins'] = "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins"; $config['ipmitool'] = "/usr/bin/ipmitool"; $config['smokeping']['dir'] = "/var/lib/smokeping/"; #$config['virsh'] = "/usr/bin/virsh"; Also, does it have an ability to add a few URL monitors? I didn't see a reference in the documentation anywhere. Thanks, Sam

To make sure this is the case, agent scripts should have the absolute minimum of code. Where possible, just command output or cat'd files, updating php, perl and python scripts after deployment may prove difficult... :) Adam.
