=== Configuration details ===
You can mostly follow the guide at:
http://observium.org/wiki/Installation
with the following notes:
- Installation directory is %%WWWDIR%%
- The following lines should be added to /etc/crontab:
33 */6 * * * www cd %%WWWDIR%% && %%PHP%% discovery.php -h all
*/5 * * * * www cd %%WWWDIR%% && %%PHP%% discovery.php -h new
*/5 * * * * www cd %%WWWDIR%% && %%PHP%% poller.php -h all
*/5 * * * * www cd %%WWWDIR%% && %%PYTHON%% poller-wrapper.py 2
Notes:
- With newer MySQL databases you may need to disable strict mode for
Observium to function:
SET GLOBAL sql_mode = '';
- Apache needs mod_rewrite enabled; uncomment the line below in httpd.conf as needed.
LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/apache24/mod_rewrite.so
- A minimal install can be created with the following steps and configuration file:
0: make sure apache and mysql are up and running.
1: create the database and a dbaccount with the following (my)SQL commands:
CREATE DATABASE observium DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON observium.* TO 'observium'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'notSecure';
SET GLOBAL sql_mode = '';
2: create a minimal config file at:
%%WWWDIR%%/config.php
containing:
<?php
$config['db_host'] = 'localhost';
$config['db_user'] = 'observium';
$config['db_pass'] = 'notSecure';
$config['db_name'] = 'observium';
3: populate the admin user and initialize the database (as 'www' user):
sudo -u www %%WWWDIR%%/discovery.php -u
sudo -u www %%WWWDIR%%/adduser.php admin SomeInsecureAdminPassword 10
4: and verify that collection is working:
sudo -u www %%WWWDIR%%/discovery.php -h all -d
sudo -u www %%WWWDIR%%/poller.php -h all -d
5: Install the above crontabs.
6: Edit the file
%%PREFIX%%/%%APACHEETCDIR%%/Includes/observium.conf
and fill out a port number and hostname.
7: restart the webserver with
apachectl restart
or stop/start if in case of IP or SSL changes.
6: log in with a web browser; using the username 'admin' and the
password 'SomeInsecureAdminPassword'.
Hosts can be added from the webinterface or from the commandline.
