Linux agent port change
by Adam Armstrong 30 Apr '13

30 Apr '13

Hi All, I've just changed the default port for the agent from the check_mk port to a port matching our enterprise id, 36602. There's an example script in scripts/observium_agent_xinetd for xinetd. You can now just use the agent script from scripts/observium_agent. Put it into /usr/bin/observium_agent, as matching the xinetd file. Create a /usr/lib/observium_agent directory and a /usr/lib/observium_agent/local directory. Put the agent scripts you want to run in the local directly. To test it, use "telnet localhost 36602". We're still working on a method of keeping the agent up to date on clients :) For the time being the poller will check both the /new/ port and the original check_mk port, but this will be removed in the future. adam.

User interface access error
by ColoCenter bv 29 Apr '13

29 Apr '13

Hi all, I give my customers access to observium so they can view the traffic from my switch to their network through their port. This used to work great, but now users can't view their port anymore. I get some access denied errors. Giving access to a device still works, to a single interface not. I don't know since what version this bug exists, my customers don't check their traffic every day. Another issue is that in the "all devices" and "all ports" sections they can see all devices that are being monitored by observium, even if they don't have access to it. A small security issue here. Can these issues be fixed? First one has my priority, second one would be nice. Kind regards, -- Alexander Lantink ColoCenter bv http://www.colocenter.nl info(a)colocenter.nl

Hmm. Just recently someone tested this and these issues weren't there. I am thinking of stripping out the complex permissions system altogether. Adam.

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
