How to add a device which only responds to ping/icmp?
by Thomas Stather 24 Apr '23

24 Apr '23

Hi How can i add a device which cannot (!) speak any snmp and only responds to ping/icmp requests? We have an Aruba wlan setup (Mobility Master and two Mobility Controllers) and i want to add the aps to Observium, so that they are monitored but only by ping/icmp. (The MM and the two MCs are already added to Observium, but i cannot see if one AP went offline or came back online again) The aps cannot speak any snmp when managed by the MM or MC, thats why it fails when i try to add one via ./add_device.php I appreciate any help :) Best, Thomas -- Thomas Stather IT Services VCP4, VCP6-DCV, VCP6.5-DCV Tel: +49 6221 486 628 Fax: +49 6221 486 561 Bevor Sie diese Mail ausdrucken, prüfen Sie bitte ob dies wirklich nötig ist.

"reset limits" doesn't work with one switch
by Wiethoff, Helge 10 Nov '22

10 Nov '22

Hi everyone, I have a problem with the "reset limits" function: On a device with many sensors (305) I can't recalculate the limits using "reset limits" in the device-preferences. Normally a note with the message appears: "Reset limits for Current sensor foo"; they will be recalculated on the next discovery run." But with this device this message does not appear. Of course I don't know if it has to do with the number of sensors but it is the only device where the problem occurs. Can I reset the limit values directly via the database? Thanks! Helge

mitel monitoring?
by Alex Rubenstein 26 Oct '22

26 Oct '22

I am looking to monitor a variety of Mitel telephony devices. I've added one and auto discovered it. I did note that the MIBs I could download from the device are precisely the same ones already located in /opt/observium/mibs/mitel When auto discovery occurs, there is no mention of anything Mitel in the device. Is there something I have to do to push observium to enable Mitel stuff?

changes to $config['frontpage']['custom_traffic']['ids'] ignored

We replaced our edge routers over the weekend and I updated the list of port id's in $config['frontpage']['custom_traffic']['ids'] with the new ones from the new routers; however, the custom graph on the front page hasn't changed and still lists the old interfaces (on the now shut-down routers). What else do I need to do? Thanks. -- Clark 159a 508/289-3112
