poller-wrapper.py does not run, but poller.php does
Hi Guys,
Newbie here. I just installed the latest version of Observium (subscription) onto Ubuntu 14. It discovered my Cisco router, 15 Cisco switches, and 4 Microsoft servers no problem. HOWEVER, poller-wrapper.py does not run. Days later, still no polling.
I have this line in /etc/cron.d/observium:
*/5 * * * * root /opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py 16 >> /dev/null 2>&1
If I manually run /opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py I get this error:
"ERROR: Could not load or parse observium configuration, are PATHs correct?"
If I manually run poller.php, all the devices get polled just fine.
I don't have a PATH statement in crontab. I can add one, but I'm not sure exactly what to add. I also notice that Joe Snijder's post says the syntax should have the word "python" after "root". Does that make a difference?
Please help!
Thanks,
Chrys

You need to change to the observium directory when you are running this script.
(and perhaps consider not running at root.)

Thanks Shaun, the observium directory is /opt/observium. The path you provided in your example doesn't exist. When I run it manually, I run it from /opt/observium. I can run discovery.php and poller.php from that directory just fine.

I can't even begin to imagine what you might have done wrong to make the poller wrapper not work.
But either way, if you follow the install guide properly on Ubuntu 14.04, it works fine.

If you want to actually solve the problem, you need to provide screenshots of things and copy/paste actual log entries. You can't just paraphrase things and expect to get any further forward.
