Hi All,

We're testing a new version of the old 'distro' script used to detect distribution.

Please run :

./scripts/os

From inside your observium directory on updated installation (you may need to chmod 755 it first).

I get:

root@alpha:/home/observium/dev# scripts/os Linux|3.8.0-19-generic|amd64|Ubuntu|13.04 root@alpha:/home/observium/dev#

The final part is the distro release. Please reply to this post if your distro release is returned as empty.

The script might not return a distribution value for non-Linux OSes, this is normal. We're trying to make sure it can always ascertain the distro version and type.

Thanks, adam.

/[root@xxx observium]# ./scripts/distro CentOS 5.9

/And under Debian Wheezy x86 :/

//root@xxx:/opt/observium# ./scripts/distro// //Debian 7.1/

Output from Debian 7.1:

root@t3-observium:/opt/observium# ./scripts/os Linux|3.2.0-4-amd64|amd64|Debian GNU/Linux|7

Should it maybe have the ".1" at the end?

We weren't asking about scripts/distro, we were asking about scripts/os.

My bad, very hot in here and really tired i think. So :

[root@xxx observium]# ./scripts/os Linux|2.6.18-348.4.1.el5.028stab107.1|i386|CentOS|5.9

It's the correct information regarding to the host.

Can't update atm on the other box, production is there.
