Hi All,
I have an environment that uses Observium but a lot of our systems that we need to keep track of and poll are having ICMP echo requests turned off which makes polling a little difficult. So after making backup copies of the files I am starting to make a module that polls via SSH. Currently it's in the "works under conditions X" stage and I had to bake it into some of the includes code (hence the copies). I guess my main question is this something anyone is interested in being submitted as an option? I'm currently working on the ability to make it more of an automated process, and set up a flag that toggles whether the poller works with ping or ssh. But, if this is so niche that it's not really something cares about then cool, but I thought I would ask in case it could be a useful feature to add for others?
And, if it is something that might seem useful then if there's a preferred method of adding it over putting it directly into the existing code I'm perfectly willing to go that route instead so I'm not messing with anyone's flow.
Thanks, Cailean
Hi,
You probably need to be a little more specific on what you've done and how you're doing it.
It's difficult to have an opinion with practically zero information (and worryingly, zero mention of SNMP).
