Is it possible to incorporate a message the user sees when they update? It would show up in red at the top of the UI or something, they could dismiss it or click on a link to see more info etc. You need a way to force the user into seeing the relevant information imo.

Yeah, when I typed the email I was thinking about how we could address this, because I guess we can't expect everyone to keep track of every svn change...
I tried to put it clearly in the commit log, but that might be a too narrow public.

Would displaying a "news update" when doing discovery after svn up help? Or do people also do automatic svn up?

Email to the list? Notice on the site? I guess the latter would also be read quite late...

That is the problem, I've merely been updating without staying tuned to what was being updated.

Thanks for the information, I will pursue this and be more mindful of the watching what is actually going on.

Hi,

Do you also read the commit messages, or just svn up?

Applications are moving to agent-based instead of snmp-based, so for PowerDNS graphs to keep working you have to make sure you install the agent and the pdns script from scripts/agent-local.

If you already did that, then you did not paste the relevant output into the email ;-) ("unix-agent" is where it will be processed, not
"applications")

I think during one of the recent updates, my powerDNS graphs broke.
Has anyone else experienced this?

 
 
Here is the output of ./poller.php -h 8 –d (with host 8 being one of
my DNS servers):

As you can see, Observium doesn’t seem to be picking up on the fact
that there is a registered application for the host.  Does anyone have
any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?
