Script to discovery and poll new devices
Hello,
I have a quick simple script to go through a text file and add_device, discovery it and poll it. However the only portion that works fine is the add_device.
the discovery nor poller.php is actually doing what it should. however If I run the command separately outside of the script it discovers the device as well as polls it.
the host name is right because I'm using echo within the script to show the name for each loop.
If i use ./disocvery.php -h new that works fine and I guess it's a work around, however ./poller.php -h new does not work.
below is the script I'm running.
while read host do echo $host /opt/observium/add_device.php $host /opt/observium/discovery.php -h $host /opt/observium/poller.php -h $host done < Servers/dailyserverlist.txt
What directory are you running this script from? There may be relative references in those scripts.

the scripts are in /opt/observium
I also tried changing it to be in the same path as the script.
basically this.
while read host do echo $host .add_device.php $host .discovery.php -h $host .poller.php -h $host done < Servers/dailyserverlist.txt
Same result.

1) add_device.php already supports reading from a filename, so why the script? 2) xargs could easily do what you want if option 1 isn't viable for whatever reason 3) Why not let polling and discovery happen via cron?

Adding a device already triggers a partial discovery, and we have discovery and polling cronned, so its not always worth doing it manually, especially not automated like this.
I'd say just script adding the hosts and then either discover all of them at the end, or let the crown jobs do it.

Yea that's what I think I will do... Just let the cron jobs do discovery and polling

You know I left this yesterday for the cron job to do the polling but for some reason none of the new 40 devices were polled. I come in this morning and it says that this device has not been polled.
