Unable to get oxidized working with librenms

Hi Folks,

trying to get oxidized working with librenms as a source with the http-api.
Running oxidized with CVS source is working.

oxidized always fails with the following messages:

root@lnms-server:/usr/local/oxidized# su - oxidized -c 'OXIDIZED_HOME=/usr/local/oxidized oxidized -d'
cannot interpret as DNS name: nil

Here is my oxidized config:
(as stated above, replacing the source http with source cvs and oxidized is working)

My LibreNMS config-part for oxidized:

root@lnms-server:/usr/local/oxidized# cat /opt/librenms/config.php
$config['oxidized']['enabled'] = TRUE;
$config['oxidized']['url'] = 'http://127.0.0.1:8888';
$config['oxidized']['features']['versioning'] = true;
$config['oxidized']['group_support'] = true;
$config['oxidized']['default_group'] = 'default';
$config['oxidized']['reload_nodes'] = true;

and this is the api output via curl:

root@lnms-server:/usr/local/oxidized# curl -H "X-Auth-Token: AUTHTOKENHERE" http://lnms-server/api/v0/oxidized
[
    {
        "hostname": "host1.domain.tld",
        "os": "ironware",
        "ip": "10.1.1.100",
        "group": "default"
    },
    {
        "hostname": "host2",
        "os": "asa",
        "ip": "10.10.1.10",
        "group": "default"
    },
<-- shortened -->
    {
        "hostname": "hostX",
        "os": "airos",
        "ip": "10.12.1.13",
        "group": "default"
    }
]

I have no idea whats going wrong here.

Running LibreNMS version 21.2.0-1-g01019cfc0 on Ubuntu 20.04 (was upgraded from 18.04 yesterday while trying to get oxidized running)

Thanks in advance for any helpfull comment :wink:

Hi Andreas, I’m having the same issue, did you ever solve it?
