What Mike said! :D

I think I'd like to add an attribute to either supply a fixed polling IP, or maybe a fixed cosmetic hostname.

Originally observium was designed to enforce forward and reverse DNS resolution for devices being discovered/polled, but these days we don't bother with that much.

Hi Adam,

Hope you are well.

 

Just a quick question about the Observium database schema.

 

I need to write a simple query that will return a list of device names and the IP addresses which Observium uses for its polling (we don’t need or want any other addresses).

 

I had a look and found tables ‘devices’ and ‘ipv4_addresses’.

And I can see the device_id foreign key etc, so obtaining all the IPs for a device is trivial enough. But I am not sure how to best filter for just the IP which Observium uses for polling.

 

 

I recently built a DNS zone for our network team using PowerDNS, and I just need to export all the devices and their management IPs from Observium, so I can inject the records into PowerDNS. So nothing fancy, but we have a couple hundred records..

 

Kind regards, Andy Lemin
