It looks like the script to get equipment information passed from php to python (poller.php to poller-wrapper.py), but it starts with:
#! /usr/bin/env python
while the dvd iso has python3, so cron can't run it.

Sorry for the English, but my native language is Spanish although google does its best.

Thanks for reporting this issue. I've opened an issue on our tracker so that we can track it.

I have checked and the script runs fine under python3, but as you note it uses '/usr/bin/env python' shebang. We could update the script to have a python3 shebang, but next time you update Observium, it will need to be updated again. So I think a better way to go is to just tweak the cron job to explicitly run the script with python3.

I.e. change this line in /etc/cron.d/observium from:

*/5  *  * * * root /opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py 1 >> /dev/null 2>&1

to:

*/5  *  * * * root /usr/bin/python3 /opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py 1 >> /dev/null 2>&1
