Observium stops working after r4260
by Laurens Vets 12 Aug '13

12 Aug '13

Hello, This morning, I upgraded my r4200 installation to the latest release (r4280). After this update, "./discovery -h none" would not output anything when run. This also means that the DB was not updated to 080.sql. After a lot of troubleshooting I could not determine what went wrong and went back to r4200. Observium worked again after this. I then started upgrading per 10 releases and after r4260, Observium stops working (no output when running "./discovery -h none"). So, for me, r4260 is the last Observium release that works and r4261 is the first one that does not work anymore... This is on CentOS 6.4 with all updates installed: [root@bak observium]# ./scripts/os Linux|2.6.32-358.14.1.el6.x86_64|amd64|CentOS|6.4 [root@bak observium]# Is anybody else experiencing the same issue? Any idea what might be causing this? What additional things can I do to help solve this? -Laurens

That's all crap added by someone who felt it necessary to add checking kunk to scripts, now apparently it doesn't work. I'll keep it in mind, still on vacation atm :) Sent from my mobile, please excuse brevity and spelling errors. ----- Reply message ----- From: "pechspilz" <pechspilz(a)o11.net> To: "Observium Network Observation System" <observium(a)observium.org> Subject: [Observium] DMI Date: Sun, Aug 11, 2013 13:02 Hi Tom, I've applied some small fixes to the hddtemp and dmi scripts so they run under Ubuntu: dmi (line 12): if [[ `head -c1 /dev/mem 2>&1 | awk '{print $1}'` != 'head:' ]] --> double brackets hddtemp (line 10): nc=`which nc.traditional` --> Since nc has been replaced. Probably, it would be best to check if nc.traditional exists and if yes, us it instead of nc.

Then why does the script exist, you think?

Observium Globe All Devices sit in Ocean

What I have is more of a question.... * Environment: Sonicwall, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Dell PowerConnect 6224, Dell PowerConnect 3524, Dell PowerConnect 5448, ESX5 and ESX4 Description I have Observium 0.13.8.4256 installed. I believe this is the most updated version. I have entered a sysLocation on all of my devices and within the Observium GUI I set a sysLocation as well. All of my devices sit in the Atlantic ocean. Why? -- Sincerely, Joshua Hopper, A+ CE Network Administrator [cid:image001.jpg@01CE934A.6F0821F0] 420 3rd Ave NW Hickory NC 28601 Office: 828-449-1839x2160 | Cell: 828-855-7565

Yeah. There are some nasty SNMP implementations around. Cisco and netsnmp is pretty to rock solid in terms of responding. Anything else and you might be hitting SNMP bugs, too. Adam.
