Re: [Observium] Pollers not picking up orders

31 May 2022

      So, in summary, and after reading your various comments, this is what the crontab on the poller looks like now:
# Run automated discovery of newly added devices every 5 minutes
*/5 *     * * *   observium   /opt/observium/discovery.php -h new >> /dev/null 2>&1
# Run a complete discovery of all devices once every 6 hours
33  */6   * * *   observium   /opt/observium/observium-wrapper discovery  >> /dev/null 2>&1
# Run multithreaded poller wrapper every 5 minutes
*/5 *     * * *   observium   /opt/observium/observium-wrapper poller  >> /dev/null 2>&1
Now we just wait for someone to add a device. Thank you for pointing us in the right direction.

Hi Adam
We wee requests in the 'observium_actions' table.
We do not have the "discovery.php -new" cron job.

The adding-via-cronjob thing was only added recently, and is probably only used by a couple of people, so might well have design problems that we haven't found/fixed yet.
Mike will probably have questions about the setup.
Can you see the requests to add the devices in the `observium_actions` table in the database?
Do you have the discovery.php -new cron job? This is the process that runs the device_add jobs.
Adam.

Hi Martin
We do not need to add that large amount of devices, and people here prefer using the GUI. We can continue to add them to the main instance and then change poller afterwards.
It just seems counterintuitive that I'm able to choose a poller when adding a device when it doesn't work. I still suspect I'm missing a minor detail like a cronjob on the poller.

Hi Lars,
We just use add_device.php from the CLI to add devices. Works without any issue. No idea if there might be issues with adding via GUI.
Are you using cli or gui to add devices?
After adding a new device, you should see in the devices table the poller_id set to the corret poller_id. That is enough for the poller to pick up that device.
Running about 10 pollers each with 100-300 devices. No cron jobs needed.
Regards,
Martin

Hi Martin

Yeah, we have all that. Poller 2 works just fine, looking at around 300 devices at the moment. Only problem is we can't create new hosts in it. We have to create them on the main instance and then assign them to poller 2 afterwards. Not world-breaking, but people tend to forget.
...
...
I'm guessing there's supposed to be a cronjob on poller 2 picking up on pending actions from the database?

Hi Lars,
...
...
I assume you have the config.php for your poller2 correct?
...
...
// define poller name
...
$config['poller_name'] = 'poller2';
...
...
And your definition in the database is also correct?
...
...
MariaDB [observium]> select poller_id, poller_name from pollers;
...
+-----------+--------------+
...
| poller_id | poller_name  |
...
+-----------+--------------+
...
|         4 | poller2      |
...
+-----------+--------------+
...
...
This is basically all the config that is needed.

I think we discussed this before, but I forget the answer and my searching skills fail me.

We have several pollers returning data to a main instance. When we

create new devices and tell them to be handled by for example

"poller2", we can see that the order to do so is created in the

database. But it's never picked up by the poller. Is there a cronjob I need to set up to fix this?
