poller.php
This document will explain how to use poller.php to debug issues or manually running to process data.
Command options
LibreNMS 2014.master Poller
-h <device id> | <device hostname wildcard> Poll single device
-h odd Poll odd numbered devices (same as -i 2 -n 0)
-h even Poll even numbered devices (same as -i 2 -n 1)
-h all Poll all devices
-i <instances> -n <number> Poll as instance <number> of <instances>
Instances start at 0. 0-3 for -n 4
Debugging and testing options:
-r Do not create or update RRDs
-f Do not insert data into InfluxDB
-d Enable debugging output
-v Enable verbose debugging output
-m Specify module(s) to be run
-h Use this to specify a device via either id or hostname (including wildcard using *). You can also specify odd and
even. all will run poller against all devices.
-i This can be used to stagger the poller process.
-r This option will suppress the creation or update of RRD files.
-d Enables debugging output (verbose output but with most sensitive data masked) so that you can see what is happening during a poller run. This includes things like rrd updates, SQL queries and response from snmp.
-v Enables verbose debugging output with all data in tact.
-m This enables you to specify the module you want to run for poller.
Poller config
These are the default poller config items. You can globally disable a module by setting it to 0. If you just want to disable it for one device then you can do this within the WebUI -> Settings -> Modules.

sensors: Sensor detection such as Temperature, Humidity, Voltages + More.
processors: Processor support for devices.
mempools: Memory detection support for devices.
storage: Storage detection for hard disks
netstats: Statistics for IP, TCP, UDP, ICMP and SNMP.
hr-mib: Host resource support.
ucd-mib: Support for CPU, Memory and Load.
ipSystemStats: IP statistics for device.
ports: This module will detect all ports on a device excluding ones configured to be ignored by config options.
bgp-peers: BGP detection and support.
junose-atm-vp: Juniper ATM support.

Running
Here are some examples of running poller from within your install directory.
./poller.php -h localhost
./poller.php -h localhost -m ports
Debugging
To provide debugging output you will need to run the poller process with the -d flag. You can do this either against
all modules, single or multiple modules:
All Modules
./poller.php -h localhost -d
Single Module
./poller.php -h localhost -m ports -d
Multiple Modules
./poller.php -h localhost -m ports,entity-physical -d
Using -d shouldn't output much sensitive information, -v will so it is then advisable to sanitise the output before pasting it somewhere as the debug output will contain snmp details amongst other items including port descriptions.
The output will contain:
DB Updates
RRD Updates
SNMP Response
