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

Verifying timeouts
by Bryan Socha 15 Mar '13

15 Mar '13

We've been using observium for well over a year now and extrememly happy with it. We have devices all over the world and recently started to see some strange reboot, high cpu loads and device up/down messages when the devices appear to be ok I recently noticed it seems to be the ones further away. I noticed the log really doesn't specify anything specific and my php skills are not up to snuff so I was wondering how would one go about verifying if we are seeing timeouts on the polling to know the best way to rectify the situation we are experiencing. Can someone verify is say the timeout of a cpu poll would actually how max cpu load? Thanks, Bryan
