ijuarez 22 Posted January 8, 2016 One question, installing the plug-in, this is stable and will work on 6.1.6 or not? just looking for basics on my unraid and using observium, currently is doing pfsense and I like it. Just want to make sure this plg is stable enough. Quote Share this post Link to post
AmishJoe 0 Posted January 10, 2016 I just installed it on 6.1.6 no problem. Worked out of box with Observium and SNMPv2. Quote Share this post Link to post
ijuarez 22 Posted January 12, 2016 I have observium running and its gathering information from my pfSense box, ive changed the community string for the pfsense box for security reasons. I modified the snmpd.conf on my unraid but it give it me an odd error. "No reply using "XXX" using 2vc (XXX is an example of community string) "could not read tower using the given the snmp parameters using v2c --EDIT set it back to defaults and i was able to get to discover, i dont like the fact that it uses public but it works, Quote Share this post Link to post
John_M 185 Posted February 12, 2016 I've just installed this plugin and it has replaced my Perl 5.22.0 installation from the NerdPack plugin with version 5.18.1, which doesn't seem right. Surely it should check first? How do I make things right again, please? Edit: I see that the NerdPack Settings page has spotted the change and is offering me version 5.22.0. Is it OK to update it or will it break SNMP? Quote Share this post Link to post
Capt.Insano 1 Posted February 12, 2016 You need a DNS somewhere in your network to resolve "tower" to corresponding IP address. There is usually a simple DNS in a router provided by ISP. From my experience with Docker it is not enough to use /etc/hosts on a machine hosting dockers (unraid in your case). There are some tricks to pass that /etc/hosts to docker, but easiest way is to use your own DNS either running on a router or on some server. My ISP (Sky Ireland) provide a shite router (SkyHub 2.0) which does not easily provide DNS settings. My Solution: root@tower:# docker exec -it Observium /bin/bash root@300cb02a1ebf:#vi /etc/hosts add ip address and hostname to hostfile and BINGO, Observium resolves host!!

Capt.Insano 1 Posted February 12, 2016 Also, 2 questions for users of this plugin with observium? 1: Does location work for you? The map on my Observium homepage reports my server as being in Sao Miguel instead of Ireland!! 2: virbr0 appears as a "Port Down" for me, are others getting this error report? I believe it is the the network bridge created by KVM, but why is it appearing as down? My VMs have perfect network/internet access. Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post

Based on that screenshot you will need to, the DNS setting pictured is not the same settings as previously mentioned in this thread. Quote Share this post Link to post
John_M 185 Posted February 16, 2016 Those two DNS servers are on the WAN (Internet) side of your router and won't resolve the names of your LAN hosts. Quote Share this post Link to post

John_M 185 Posted February 20, 2016 Mine shows Sao Miguel too, specifically the town of Ponta Delgada, presumably some default. I don't know how it's meant to work out the true location anyway. There's a lot of information displayed and it's all superficially very pretty but the graphs tend to use subtle shades of a few colours each so are difficult to interpret. Also, it doesn't seem very customisable. I was hoping to be able to monitor my DSL router, which has SNMP enabled, in order to keep an eye on SNR margin and sync speed but so far have only been able to monitor traffic.

Surely it should check first? How do I make things right again, please? This seems like a mis-feature of the upgradepkg tool. I add the flag --install-new so that it will install perl if it's not already on the system. But it seems to also force-install the older version if a newer version already exists. If this is a big issue, I suppose I could write my own install tool wrapper that checks versions properly... In the meantime I'll just bump the version of perl to match nerdtools. Edit: I see that the NerdPack Settings page has spotted the change and is offering me version 5.22.0. Is it OK to update it or will it break SNMP? I doubt it will break things. Let me test it.

SNMP Host location is taken from SNMP definitions of that device. In case of unraid it should be possible to edit SNMP config file and specify location. In case of some home devices, especially managed switches you can specify location in their GUIs. You can also specify the above in Observium itself (edit host) and don't bother with finding the setting in a given host. Quote Share this post Link to post

But is there an easy way to make it permanent so that it survives a reboot? What you could try is putting something like this into your go script: echo "$(/sbin/ifconfig br0 | grep inet | awk '{print $2}') storage" >> /etc/hosts Then use the advanced container options to map /etc/hosts from the docker host to the container. The container will think that localhost is your server, but maybe that's okay? Quote Share this post Link to post

I've moved on to trying the LibreNMS fork of Observium. I love it so far. The community/authors seem much more friendly as well. I'd recommend it over Observium at this point.

BrianAz 0 Posted March 13, 2016 Thanks again for this plugin, I love it. The one issue I'm still having is with disktemps polled through SNMP. It looks like it's going to work when I try via snmpwalk, but I get nothing. Running the drive_temps.sh manually works fine. Polling "sharefree" via snmpwalk works as expected and my .conf looks ok, so I'm stumped. I saw some mention earlier re: scripts not having enough time to run... was that resolved? How can I see if that's what's happening to me? Linux 4.1.18-unRAID.

ars92 3 Posted April 2, 2016 Hi guys, What am I doing wrong? I am using the turnkey version of observium. Initially I was getting the could not resolve tower error, but after adding the private IP manually in the hosts file, now I get this. I have verified that the observium VM is able to ping my unRAID server both by DNS and IP method, but yet observium is saying it cant ping it. Is it because SNMP isn't running properly? How can I verify that SNMP is working fine? I tried starting the snmpd daemon again (./rc snmpd start), but still same results. EDIT:Simple googling told me that I had to run the command "chmod +s /usr/bin/fping" if I wanted to add devices using the webGUI on a turnkey version of Observium....and this is something they wont fix as they dont recommend adding device through the webGUI...weird....

Polling "sharefree" via snmpwalk works as expected and my .conf looks ok, so I'm stumped. I'm stumped too. What do you get when you run this sequence?: cat /tmp/plugins/snmp/drive_temps.txt snmpwalk -v 2c localhost -c public 'NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutLine."disktemp"' cat /tmp/plugins/snmp/drive_temps.txt /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/snmp/drive_temps.sh cat /tmp/plugins/snmp/drive_temps.txt snmpwalk -v 2c localhost -c public 'NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutLine."disktemp"' cat /tmp/plugins/snmp/drive_temps.txt I'm wondering if there's an issue with the caching. Another thought: There's a "sleep 15" in the drive_temps.sh script. I don't remember why. Maybe removing it would allow the script to run faster, solving the problem for you? Try it let me know what happens. Quote Share this post Link to post
Viaduct 1 Posted July 16, 2016 Using both turnkey and docker versions of observium, I'm not getting the hard drive temps and share free metrics to show. I guess it's not seeing the mib? Any tips? Or another dashboard to try? Working great otherwise, although maybe the CPU and mb temps are the wrong way round? Mb temp follows the core temps more than CPU temp!

coppit 12 Posted February 8, 2017 Okay, what I've done is dropped perl, and instead written a check for it. If it doesn't exist, then the plugin installation fails, and asks the user to install Nerd Pack. Quote Share this post Link to post
