Ryan,

For RANCID installation questions, you should try contacting the RANCID mailing lists.  It is a completely separate open-source project and in no way associated with observium, shy of observium providing the ability to view configs that are already living in a RANCID repository.

One more thing, for the email, I use exim, so I’m assuming that running /usr/bin/newaliases tells the MTA about the changes below.

Hi,

 

I am trying to integrate RANCID for Observium, however the basic installation of rancid on Ubuntu 12.04 eludes me.

 

Most tuts out there are for 11.04, or are quite dated.

 

I have gotten to the point where running sudo su -c /var/lib/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs -s /bin/bash -l rancid

Should produce the right files. I don’t get that, rather I get this:

 

rancid@ObserviumNYC:/$ sudo su -c /var/lib/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs -s /bin/bash -l rancid

 

/var/lib/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs: 73: /etc/rancid/rancid.conf: rancid-Amsterdam::: not found

/var/lib/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs: 74: /etc/rancid/rancid.conf: rancid-admin-Amsterdam:: not found

/var/lib/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs: 75: /etc/rancid/rancid.conf: rancid-New_York:: not found

/var/lib/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs: 76: /etc/rancid/rancid.conf: rancid-admin-New_York:: not found

 

If anyone had successfully done this, I need some steps that I seem to be missing. I had installed cvs, manually.

 

I do have /etc/aliases with some entries like:

 

rancid-Amsterdam: noc        */should that be noc@emailaddress??/*
