I have read the Unix Agent troubleshooting section.
The Observium-wide FAQ didn't provide any guidance either.
I set this up within the past week.
Running Community Edition, Debian Wheezy.
I got one box (CentOS) setup with the Unix Agent and at least one polling worked as it's now populated with different packages, MySQL information (that's one of the scripts it setup). It hasn't worked since the first polling or two. It isn't pulling in any new scripts on the monitored box and the information it does have appears to be stale.
I can telnet from the Observium box to the monitored box via FQDN on port 36602 and get a bunch of stuff back.
However, the observium.log and my router shows requests going to the FQDN at ports 1 and 6556 that are refused. I don't show anything in netstat listening on those ports on the monitored box.
What's my next step?
TIA

maybe check your config.php that you don't have an entry for $config ['unix-agent']['port'] overriding the system default.
in "includes/defaults.inc.php " the default is listed there. In mine it is : "$config['unix-agent']['port'] = 36602; // Default agent port"
also the agent port can be overridden in the gui

Thanks a bunch. Not sure how that got changed, but I'll look into it. It does work now.
Perhaps I ought to read through the Configuration Options page and see what sorts of things I can tweak.

Observium is designed to have the minimum number of options. Usually our options are situation-specific hacks, and not really intended to be widely used.
Don't go looking for things to twiddle, else they might drop off!
Be warned :)
