IRC not connecting

Help
#1

Have tried to follow doc’s on setting up the IRC in Librenms to no avail. Found Laf’s example from June to check against our config, but still doesn’t connect/join?

Here is our config less FQDN

// IRC Bot configuration
$config[‘irc_host’] = ‘irc.xxxxxxxxxx.com’;
$config[‘irc_port’] = ‘6667’;
$config[‘irc_maxretry’] = 3;
$config[‘irc_nick’] = ‘LibreNMS’;
$config[‘irc_chan’] = ‘#noc’;
$config[‘irc_alert_chan’] = ‘#noc’;
$config[‘irc_authtime’] = 8;
$config[‘irc_debug’] = false;
$config[‘irc_alert’] = true;
$config[‘irc_alert_utf8’] = false;
$config[‘alert’][‘transports’][‘irc’] = true;

Looking to see if anyone sees an issue.
Thanks

this maybe a dumb question but did you check your firewalld on your server?

#3

You have started irc.php haven’t you?

#4

firewall is ok,we’ve tested that

#5

laf, we thought it would have started automatically once the information was input to the config.php, no where in the doc’s does it say to do ./irc.php

It’s all good now that we ran ./irc.php.

Also one of our engineers made a very basic systemd start up script in /etc/systemd/system/librenms-irc.service set to start at boot but it can be stopped or started just like any other systemd script such as systemctl start librenms-irc.service

in case you 'd like to have it

librenms-irc.service
[Unit]
Description=Librenms IRC bot

[Service]
ExecStart=/opt/librenms/irc.php
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

Thanks @allano337. You should contribute that back to the code base by submitting a pull request. You can also update the docs at the same time :slight_smile:
