Disable Monitoring of Linux Interfaces
Good Evening,
I was able to get Observium up and running with no issues, but I do have a bit of an odd situation. I happen to have a server that I wish to monitor that has over 300 PPP interfaces. Observium is attempting to poll them, and its hammering the server hard, and Observium. Is there a way to remove polling of interfaces (or maybe just ppp interfaces) on that server?
Thanks!
You can add this to your config, which start ignoring all PPP interfaces on all machines, but snmpwalk will still go through them.
$config['bad_iftype'][] = "ppp";

Nikolay,
Thanks for the feedback. So adding that will prevent it from polling the PPP interfaces, but it will still add them to the list via the initial SNMP walk?
Thanks!

Well, snmpwalk still walks all these interfaces, observium will just ignore data from them. Basically load on this machine with lots PPP interfaces won't change.

That makes sense. I think that having that many interfaces is actually causing some other bad effects. For example, I am not getting processor or memory usage from that server. It manages all of the others just fine... How annoying. I guess I will throw more RAM at the system and see if that helps.

Nikolay,
First off, thank you very very much for all of the help. I have everything almost perfect. I did a discovery again, and it managed to find memory etc, this time. The only thing missing now is the processors. Does the application only poll devices that it found in the discovery? As in, if its not asking for the processors, were they not discovered?
