Adding Bind9 stats into Observium for trending/graphing?
Hello,
I do not see a away to search the mailing list so please excuse me if this question has been asked before.
I've recently (as in the last 3 or 4 days) began configuring Observium for the purpose of getting some good trending data out of my bind servers. I noticed in the demo, there is an APP drop down, and BIND is listed as one of the supported applications. I am having a difficult time figuring out how to get Observium to monitor my bind servers however. I do get LOTS of great throughput data and cpu usage so that will be very helpful.
I have installed the bind9-snmp setup from bayour.com and am abe to read bind statistics using SNMP, but I have no idea how to get these values to be polled and graphed by Observium.
If setting up the bind9-stats through SNMP is not the proper way to graph the bind stats, can someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks, Ricardo Meleschi

The application monitoring comes from the unix agent - http://www.observium.org/wiki/UNIX_Agent
It's not too difficult to set up, the files you need are in /opt/observium/scripts. Once you've got the agent working, you may need to enable it under the Poller Modules for the specific host.
I can't use the observium agent on my dns server actually. While snmp is an approved app, the observium agent is not. Is there no way for me to give Observium a list of OIDs to poll and graph, ala a cacti xml file?
Thanks, Ricardo

Nope.
