Hi,
I have been trying observium for the last few weeks and am happy with it. However, I couldn't get the sensors (temperature & voltage) and syslog to work. It doesn't even show up in the health drop down menu!. Does observium obtain the sensors data using lm-sensors or ipmi? And is there any other configurations steps to be done (other than in the wiki or documentation)?. Regarding syslog, I tried rsyslog and syslog-ng and followed the solutions posted in wiki & mailing list for similar issues but no luck!, the tab still says that no syslog entries found although its enabled and running (Note: I am using CentOS & RHEL). What am I missing exactly?
Many Thanks,
Regarding sensors, I have installed lm-sensors and freeipmi. Unfortunately, lm-sensros didn't work as my kernel needs to be recompiled to load the core-temp modules into it. For ipmi , the command ipmi-sensors displays all the sensors very well, but the ipmitool command generates the error (ipmi_sdr_cache_create:ipmi internal error). I guess both errors can be fixed by more digging, but I need to know which one does observium work with so as to fix it. And why it doesn't appear in the health drop down menu.
For the syslog, I enables remote log sending using port 514, by uncommenting #$ModLoad imudp #$UDPServerRun 514
From the config file, added the following file : 30-observium.conf to /etc/rsyslog.d/ to allow it send info to observium with the following contents :
#--------------------------------------------------------- #send remote logs to observium
$template observium,"%fromhost%||%syslogfacility%||%syslogpriority%||%syslogseverity%||%syslogtag%||%$year%-%$month%-%$day% %timereported:8:25%||%msg%||%programname%\n " $ModLoad omprog $ActionOMProgBinary /opt/observium/syslog.php
:source, !isequal, "stat" :omprog:;observium
& ~ #---------------------------------------------------------
started the syslog service , but still no luck!

Hi,
What exactly have you done to troubleshoot it? What succeeded and what failed?

Are you sure rsyslog is running and listening on UDP 514?
Have you checked to see if you can access UDP 514 on your observium server from your client server?
I would ensure that the basic functionality of a log server / client worked before I started troubleshooting the observium part.

Not to mention that he will be ever so unimpressed with our syslog support when he makes it work.
I'd recommend just using something like phpsyslog, or whatever the best free syslog-in-a-database tool is today.
adam.
uncomment line (in syslog.php): //logfile($line);
than restart rsyslog and check observium.log have any syslog entries. If no one entry logged, something wrong in your syslog setting.
If entries logged, check hostnames or IPs. For IP check that is in the database: http://<observium>/search/search=ipv4/ For hostnames also check that is database (as hostname or sysname): http://<observium>/devices/
P.S. I use rsyslog with observium (on ubuntu 12.04) without problems. :)
