First-install notes

  • Run the install script if offered On Debian or Ubuntu, install wget if missing, download the Observium install script, and run it with sudo (admin rights). A missing wget can stop the download before the setup even starts. source
  • Make web and login survive reboots Start httpd (the web page server) and sshd (remote login), and set both to start automatically on boot. If they are not enabled, a reboot can leave you without the dashboard or remote access. source
  • Know where your files and graphs live Check the settings that point to the app folder, web files, rrd_dir (saved metric history), and log_dir. If you move or delete the rrd_dir folder, your charts can disappear. source
