I was planning on submitting a formal patch but I just don't have enough time
lately. Filing a bug report with raw details captured for someone that can
work on it.
Missing deps:
apache24(or variant) fping nmap php55-json mod_php55 php55-tokenizer
php55-filter Xpython databases/py-MySQLdb php55-mcrypt (see below for partial
implementation)
Suggested makefile entries (work in progress): (some of these may be optional
but it is hard to tell from the product docs. Wouldn't hurt to include by
default as options, even if disabled.)
-USE_PHP= snmp ctype gd mysql session xml
+USE_PHP= ctype filter gd json mcrypt mysql session snmp tokenizer xml
-OPTIONS_DEFINE= APACHEMOD MYSQLD
-OPTIONS_DEFAULT= APACHEMOD
+OPTIONS_DEFINE= APACHEMOD FPING IPMITOOL LIBVIRT MYSQLD NAGPLUGINS NMAP
SUBVERSION WMIC
+OPTIONS_DEFAULT= APACHEMOD FPING IPMITOOL LIBVIRT NAGPLUGINS NMAP
SUBVERSION WMIC
RUN_DEPENDS+=
${PYTHON_PKGNAMEPREFIX}MySQLdb>=0:${PORTSDIR}/databases/py-MySQLdb
RUN_DEPENDS+= ${LOCALBASE}/bin/wget:${PORTSDIR}/ftp/wget
+FPING_RUN_DEPENDS= fping:${PORTSDIR}/net/fping
+IPMITOOL_RUN_DEPENDS= ipmitool:${PORTSDIR}/sysutils/ipmitool
+LIBVIRT_RUN_DEPENDS= virsh:${PORTSDIR}/devel/libvirt
+NAGPLUGINS_RUN_DEPENDS=
${LOCALBASE}/libexec/nagios/check_nagios:${PORTSDIR}/net-mgmt/nagios-plugins
+NMAP_RUN_DEPENDS= nmap:${PORTSDIR}/security/nmap
+SUBVERSION_RUN_DEPENDS= subversion:${PORTSDIR}/devel/subversion
+WMIC_RUN_DEPENDS= wmic:${PORTSDIR}/net-mgmt/wmi-client
(need to add desc for FPING NMAP SUBVERSION, rest have a default I think)
"The mcrypt extension is missing. This extension required for use by the
"remember me" feature. Please install the
php5-mcrypt package on Ubuntu/Debian or the php-mcrypt package on RHEL/Centos.
Alternatively, you can disable
this feature by setting $config['login_remember_me'] = FALSE; in your config."
use @sample for config.php.default (rename it)
patch the binary paths for fping etc in the default config
find /usr/local/www/observium -name \*.php -exec chmod +x {} \;
find /usr/local/www/observium -name \*.py -exec chmod +x {} \;
the rrd directory needs ownership by www
Apache needs mod_rewrite
The suggested crontab entries in official documentation follow bad policy of
completely ignoring all errors by using >> /dev/null 2>&1. This was one of my
stumbling blocks.
And finally, the item which gave me the most trouble was where poller.php
OVERRIDES SETTINGS FROM PHP.INI that I had enabled to try to track down missing
php modules etc. Observium takes an extremely hostile position of disabling
display_errors, display_startup_errors, log_errors, and error_reporting unless
a (undocumented?) debug variable is set somewhere. I think this behavior is a
disservice to well meaning administrators and at least log_errors should not be
disabled on a standard install. This is not a fault of the port, but the port
can make it more admin-friendly.
