VPS root devices in snmpd.conf
by Shaun Bradley 22 Jul '13

22 Jul '13

Hi Guys, me again I've googled for this but not found anything much, and I know it's not entirely observium-related but is there any way of specifying a different root device in snmpd.conf? I have a few VPS hosted systems and the root devices are different, some are /dev/simfs, others are /dev/xvda1 etc. Obviously this just produces a broken graph in observium so I'm wondering if there is a way of setting it and then having it picked up. Many thanks for any pointers. Shaun

Oh. You were being confusing by talking about 'root device'. You mean the SNMP agent isn't reporting any file systems? Probably some permissions bullshit related to the virtualization platform. You don't need to mess with the netsnmp config at all really. Adam.

What does "graphs are broken" mean? Shaun Bradley <Shaun.Bradley(a)marketingsource.co.uk> wrote: >_______________________________________________ >observium mailing list >observium(a)observium.org >http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium

Why is it wrong? That is the question. Observium gets its data from your snmp agent, I have not had it fail even in linux-vserver jails.

RRD also stores deltas, but more importantly, RRD is way slower than MySQL for such single values.

Yes, I obviously put in bad cables to be able to test Observium :D Sent from my mobile, please excuse brevity and spelling errors. ----- Reply message ----- From: "Sander Steffann" <sander(a)steffann.nl> To: "Observium Network Observation System" <observium(a)observium.org> Subject: [Observium] interesting question on reddit Date: Fri, Jul 19, 2013 16:07 Hi, > I don't know what Lists >> Errors" even is, but clicking "Errored (6)" under Ports gives me a list of 6 ports with errors. I was looking for that link but couldn't find it, until I realised that it only shows when there actually are ports with errors. Guess I have nothing to worry about :-) Cheers, Sander _______________________________________________ observium mailing list observium(a)observium.org http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium

SNMPv3-Only Discovery/Polling
by Daniel Preussker 19 Jul '13

19 Jul '13

Hi, I recently set up another host. This time using SNMPv3. addhost.php worked fine and both Auth and Priv passed. discovery.php can't discover the host. poller.php can't poll the host. via snmpget I get responces to sysUpTime.0 but not to .1, .0, ... The snmpd.conf should grand the user full Readonly rights as I didn't specify any SubID to the user. Is this known? Is there a way around? Is there any example of a working snmpv3-only setup?
