Excellent!

If anyone using RH/CentOS could find the missing piece in our instructions we'd be most grateful.

But remember: we develop and test using Debian and Ubuntu only! :-)

I also added another device (koe-netapp01) using the web interface and that went through fine as well.

Both of these are showing graphical traffic now o there must be something going on in the RedHat/Centos config that is not covered in the setup that is causing the problem I was having previously.

Thanks for your assistance with this.

I followed the http://www.observium.org/wiki/RHEL_SVN_Installation guide step by step and had no errors with the process either. The Poller is running and I am seeing from the cron log that it is doing so and I also run it manually to see if i can get the data displayed. I do see that there is traffic being recorded but for some reason it is not being displayed. Since it is a new install I will wipe the installation and start again from scratch and see if somehow I missed a step.

Its not clear what your problem is from your description.

I can say the issue is 99% likely to be fixed by following the install guide properly.

Hi Guys,

I am having a problem displaying data in the graphs. If I select an interface that has traffic reported and drill down to the graph I see all the graph entries with -nan but if I select the RealTime graph I can see the traffic flow. Can anyone explain why this would be and how I can resolve this?

Thanks for any assistance with this.

I suspect it has something to do with access rights to file for the apache user. I may have time to dig into this deeper another time but I am in the middle of a project right now and just need this working :)

SELinux.

Oh my. SELinux. What horror.

I've added a step disabling it to the RHEL/CentOS guide.

adam.

I concur, if you are uncofortable with SELinux the learning curve is not thatgreat. You just need to set the right context for where you install observium and then selinux will happily allow it to run. I dont mind selinux for what it does.
