    The first thing i thought, InceptionHosting deadpools. The is titel maybe a bit confusing :D

    LOL :)

    And it would hit CF servers instead of the LES

    Ah ok, that wont work then.

    Well if someone wants to give me a little bit more info I will see if I can work around it, the ping element should not be any issue as you would be setting it to the external IP anyway which will reply.

    If it is TCP and can work on hostname and transmits headers it should be possible to put something in place.

    Eh?

    Overload gethostbyname() with your own either in the C source, or replace references to your own.

    Really not hard to do.

    But a pain to do every time you need to update PHP or Observium... nobody asked Anthony to fix it, he offered. It's also hardly worth recompiling PHP for.

    The ones who should fix it are the Observium devs and/or the PHP devs.

    Neither have much of a reason to care, to be totally honest.

    It's the world of open sauce, if you need something, you build it yourself. Maintaining a single function on a single file is hardly a chore, really.

    I wonder what does Observium do, that you need it on a LES box? Why not just set up Smokeping to watch over your boxes. Here's mine, btw we get to witness a Sunday evening at my ISP. http://s.lowendshare.com/5/1403460663.23.2014-06-22T180921Z-sp.png

    Observium has a Professional edition so yeah, they probably should fix something like IPv6 support for a monitoring system they're trying to sell.

    In the world of the free market, if one solution doesn't fit your needs you put up and shut up or you move onto another project with better specifications. You can also contact the devs and try and get it fixed hoping they want to keep/gain market share. Neither of those points really matter, though. And as outlined ITT, the problem is in at least two places and possibly more.

    Not everyone, even programmers, wants to read through or contribute to every open source project they use. There's also no requirement to be a contributor to have a feature wish.

    Plus the PHP devs should absolutely iron out their IPv6 support and you know it.

    Lots of things are monitored, disk, I/o, network, you can add in support for Apache monitoring etc... much more than a ping monitor.

    also made my above point a little clearer.

    Is it possible to run SNMP on a non-standard port? AFAIK if you can configure SNMP to listen on a LES port then you can configure Observium to poll on any port you wish.

    This.

  • SentinelSentinel Member

    Actually, I've got observium to work on IPv6 on one of my LES boxes. If you want more info you can PM me.

    Couldn't you just post it for everyone?

    As mentioned before, it's not just SNMP but ICMP too.

    Ping the same name/ip and the node will answer. Problem solved.

    Post the solution .......

    For the SNMP conf file you need to add

     agentaddress udp6:161

    and

    com2sec6 readonly  default         public

    and then restart snmpd, then in your observium install directory you need to run

     ./add_device.php  [community] v2c 161 udp6

    And that should work, although it takes some more manual effort than just typing into a web interface.

    Edit: All of these lines go on the client side, not the server side.

    Do you add these lines on the client server or poll server?

    @Nekki said: If only Observium supported IPv6...all those exotic green circles.

    @Nekki said: If I remember correctly, you'd also need to be able to pass through pings, as that's the first availability check Observium undertakes when creating a new host.

    I run snmpd for observium on all of my LES boxes and it works fine.
    Just tell snmpd to use one of your IPv4 ports instead of the default one by adding this line to your snmpd.conf

    agentaddress <port>

    When adding a device observium needs to ping it, obviously pings will hit the host node. Observium then checks for ping and snmpd availability to know if a device is up or down: if you see the device is down because of ping it will probably be a node reboot or a network problem, if the device is down because of snmpd it means your box is down.

    Logs:

    @AnthonySmith can you confirm there was a reboot on 18/06/2014? (CEST time in image)

    YAY

    Considering the laughable amount of v6 adoption on professional systems, yeaaaaaaaaah, no.

    Let's not go there, however.

  • AThomasHoweAThomasHowe Member

    Thanks @Sentinel and @MuZo, I'll give it a go in a bit. I did mess with the other modes but I guess I was missing the config file lines.

    What you should do isn't necessarily what you do. But yes, let's not go there, there is absolutely no excuse in 2014 not to be adding IPv6 support everywhere possible.

    That appears to be working for me, thank you.

  • NekkiNekki Veteran

    I'll have a go at adding these next time I get 20 minutes to myself, cheers.

  • AnthonySmithAnthonySmith Member, Patron Provider

    @MuZo Yes confirmed :)

    And nice one, thought it was a bit odd to not be able to specify your own SNMP port.

    Ant.

  • AnthonySmithAnthonySmith Member, Patron Provider

    It has gone down under :)

    Yes it is ran by @Oliver and Ransom IT, it is great to have another host on board, really appreciate Oliver getting in to the lowendspirit!

    I wont say to much as no doubt Oliver will want to say something himself but said it was ok for me to let everyone know, I bought the first one myself and have a bench mark running, will post the results soon.

    Just to be clear, although I operate LES and the LES website any purchases made for the Sydney location will be managed bu Oliver, he has a solid rep round here and no doubt he will do the LES idea proud!

    Safe to assume limited stock initially.

    Ant.

    Got one!

    Also just grabbed one. :)

    Yeah!,
    got one of them as well, now my collection is complete (for now).

    Getting one as well. Are these actually capped to 100 mbit as the site advertise? The japan one seems to pull from cachefly @ 1 Gbps.

    Also, why the 10% tax? :(

  • arestarest Member

    grab one :D

    How's DDoS handled? Will the whole node go down like it sometimes does in Italy?

    They only really seem to hit Italy to be honest, it was probably a bad idea to advertise it was DDOS protected to begin with, I don't expect the same issue for @Oliver.
