When you run the job what directory are you sitting in.. are there absolute paths?  if you are say in /root and run /opt/observium/poller.php does it fail I bet it does or it doesn’t know where config file is.

Are these set right?

### Locations

$config['install_dir']  = "/opt/observium";

$config['html_dir']     = $config['install_dir'] . "/html";

$config['rrd_dir']      = $config['install_dir'] . "/rrd";

$config['log_file']     = $config['install_dir'] . "/observium.log”;

Here is my /etc/cron.d/observium file

Hello,

here's the problem. If I start the poller-wrapper manually in the shell it works without problems. But if it is started by the cronjob, I get the following error message:
ERROR: Could not load or parse observium configuration, are PATHs correct?
Does anyone know the problem and how to fix it?

Reiner
