Yes, the agent is returning good stats to the Observium server. I can telnet to the device on port 36602 and get output which does appear to change. Our Observium server runs on FreeBSD and the device I am trying to get BIND stats from is also FreeBSD. I had to work on the Observium-agent script to get as close as I can could to a linux server. I will include what happens when I telnet to the device on 36602. I am just trying to get the BIND data into Observium. I do not need the hosts data like df, mounts, ps, mem, CPU, etc. Observium already does a good job of collecting that data.

Thanks Adam for the help. The Observium product is wonderful and we have a professional subscription.

Apps are usually automatically added to a device when the unix agent returns an applicable app section.
Is the agent correctly returning bind stats?
Theres a possibility that the bind agent module might not work with your version of bind, and it might require some extra setup in order to collect data.
Most of the apps are contributed and sometimes break when the software they’re collecting data from changes formats, which i think bind has done at least once.

All,
I would like some help with the UNIX Agent. I have been able to get the agent up and running on the device and listen on port 36602 which in turn the Observium server can communicate with. I have UNIX Agent turned on in Obervium config and the server does show me a button to turn on "BIND" with a slider button. When I slide the BIND button to ON and press save Observium says "No Application found on this device." I have provided screenshots. What am I missing because I am close to getting this working.
I am running Observium 24.3.13396 (stable)
Thanks,
Tim
