If they show up on the map then that means it is working. Have you added sysContacts to each device?

Its best to add it directly on the device(s) in question but there is an Observium menu option (via the gears on a device when drilled down to its details) that allows for a sysContact override.

Set one of those and save. The map updates every few minutes. If doing one or two of the both I would say you might have SNMP issues.

Thanks, they started to work once I did a chmod +x on the phps included in the cron. Now I'm working on the Map and location right now my devices are in the Atlantic ocean. I think I have a firewall issue.

Why you mention to use cron files ?
On an EL system (Centos 6.5 specifically)
I just use crontab -e and it works fine for weeks now:

[root@devil ~]# crontab -u root -l

*/5 * * * * /opt/observium/discovery.php -h new >> /dev/null 2>&1
*/5 * * * * /opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py 5 >> /dev/null 2>&1

[root@devil ~]#

(just wondering if there is a specific reason...)
