| 1 | Observium installation |
|---|
| 2 | ---------------------- |
|---|
| 3 | |
|---|
| 4 | First you start by following the instructions here: |
|---|
| 5 | |
|---|
| 6 | http://www.observium.org/wiki/Ubuntu_SVN_Installation |
|---|
| 7 | |
|---|
| 8 | There are currently (as of 12 June 2013) two errors on the above page, and |
|---|
| 9 | one specific step you should take: |
|---|
| 10 | |
|---|
| 11 | 1. Instead of doing: |
|---|
| 12 | -------------------- |
|---|
| 13 | |
|---|
| 14 | # svn co http://www.observium.org/svn/observer/trunk observium |
|---|
| 15 | |
|---|
| 16 | you need to go to: |
|---|
| 17 | |
|---|
| 18 | http://www.observium.org/wiki/Main_Page |
|---|
| 19 | |
|---|
| 20 | and look down the page for the "Current stable revision : " text. The number |
|---|
| 21 | of the current revision will be listed. As of 12 June 2013 this was 3763. |
|---|
| 22 | Replace the initial command listed above with (as root): |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | # svn co -r 3763 http://www.observium.org/svn/observer/trunk observium |
|---|
| 25 | |
|---|
| 26 | 2. Install PEAR Net_IPv4 and Net_IPv6 packages: |
|---|
| 27 | ----------------------------------------------- |
|---|
| 28 | |
|---|
| 29 | Once you have run the "svn co" command (subversion checkout) you need to |
|---|
| 30 | manually add the PHP Extension and Application Repository (PEAR) Net_IPv4 and |
|---|
| 31 | Net_IPv6 packages. To do, as root, |
|---|
| 32 | |
|---|
| 33 | # pear install Net_IPv4 |
|---|
| 34 | # pear install Net_IPv6 |
|---|
| 35 | |
|---|
| 36 | 3. Create an admin user with class password |
|---|
| 37 | ------------------------------------------- |
|---|
| 38 | |
|---|
| 39 | In the step where you are asked to do: |
|---|
| 40 | |
|---|
| 41 | # cd /opt/observium |
|---|
| 42 | # ./adduser.php <username> <password> <level> |
|---|
| 43 | |
|---|
| 44 | Do this: |
|---|
| 45 | |
|---|
| 46 | # cd /opt/observium |
|---|
| 47 | # ./adduser.php admin <CLASS_PASSWORD> 10 |
|---|
| 48 | |
|---|
| 49 | |
|---|
| 50 | At this point the following is installed: |
|---|
| 51 | ----------------------------------------- |
|---|
| 52 | |
|---|
| 53 | - the software dependencies described in the above URL have been installed |
|---|
| 54 | - a sample vhost definition has been placed in |
|---|
| 55 | /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/observium |
|---|
| 56 | - a database has been created and populated with the Observium schema |
|---|
| 57 | - directories have been created for the RRDs and the logs, and have |
|---|
| 58 | the correct permissions |
|---|
| 59 | - a sample config.php is in place |
|---|
| 60 | - a sample user (admin + class password) has been created |
|---|
| 61 | |
|---|
| 62 | What remains to be done: |
|---|
| 63 | ------------------------ |
|---|
| 64 | |
|---|
| 65 | - update the preinstalled vhost definition (change observiumX) |
|---|
| 66 | - modify the config.php and update the SNMP community and subnets |
|---|
| 67 | - enable cron jobs |
|---|
| 68 | - add at least 1 host |
|---|
| 69 | |
|---|
| 70 | These last steps are part of the observium-lab1.txt |
