Device first discovery date
by Attila Nagy 09 Oct '25

09 Oct '25

Hi Everyone! Is there a way to find out the date of the "first contact" with a device from Observium? I mean for example the date when the first discovery was run on a specific device, or something like this? (Currently the device's event log runs out after half a year.) Any ideas? Regards, Tylla

Send email alerts only for some checkers, not all of them
by Silvio del Val Hinojal 11 Apr '25

11 Apr '25

Hello, First of all, congratulations for your great product :) I have been searching this the forum but I can't find an answer for this :( We are currently using Observium Pro v18.10.9500. I'm trying to configure emailing so that I would like to be notified on some alerts generated by some of the alert checkers but not all of them, but I'm not able to do it :( Currently I'm receiving email alerts from all of my checkers. This is my current "config.php": // Set up a default alerter (email to a single address) // $config['email']['default'] = ""; // $config['email']['default_only'] = TRUE; $config['email']['from'] = "< I omit this part, this is our current email, this is working >"; $config['email']['smtp_host'] = "< I omit, our SMTP email server >"; $config['email']['backend'] = "smtp"; // Mail backend. Allowed: "mail" (PHP's built-in), "sendmail", "smtp". $config['email']['smtp_timeout'] = 30; We have only one contact with our destination email address and we have associated only 4 of 7 defined alert checkers, but we are currently receiving email notifications from all of them.

User access levels
by Tibor Marchyn 06 Dec '24

06 Dec '24

Hi, I have another beginner question please. I have setup Active Directory authentication, but how can I limit users to exact devices? I really do not want for some users to see anything else than they need to and all of them have level 1 access. And I can't see any option to limit them or assign user to device. Also it would be great to assign users to exact device group I have created. Thanks a lot Tibor

How to add a device which only responds to ping/icmp?
by Thomas Stather 22 Aug '24

22 Aug '24

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.

Many devices shown as down(dns)
by Marios.P＠crowe.com.cy 19 Jul '24

19 Jul '24

Hello all, I can see in my observium installation that many devices changed their status to down(dns). This is a new installation and we migrated the configuration yesterday on a new server and devices were working properly. At around the same time (14:20:00) a lot of our machines changed their status to down. The message in the Event log is "Device status changed to Down (dns)". I tried to find what the problem may be but I can see SNMP are correct and dns records exist for the systems. Any ideas? Thank you, Marios

"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
by Eric W. Bates (he) 18 Oct '22

18 Oct '22

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

The observium team guided me to find an error when creating an alert. For the notifications sent by email to show the description or name in an interface, not port_label.... do we have to apply a template to the notifications? explain [image: image.png] -- Saluda cordialmente

Yes. The issue is the subinterfaces do not show up as Ethernet (ethernetCsmacd) Click on one of the subinterfaces, click the “Data” button on the right hand side, and see what the “ifType” is on this device, here’s an Arista for example: [cid:image001.png@01D8DFC3.B46B3050] Whatever that ifType is, add that as an “or” for ifType selection criteria. ________________________________ Spencer J.

Graph Gaps and Scaling questions
by Daniel Benson 11 Oct '22

11 Oct '22

list, I have been working all angles to scale my observium CE instance running well but seem to be failing. By failing I am referring to the classic gaps in graphs for all my devices. I am running on esxi with 16 cores @ 2.40GHz, 16G of ram, SSD SAS Raid and continue to have gaps. Most recently I have pushed sql to its own instance in hopes of working around potential IO issues but that didnt help. What I do see is that my ram use is very high, I am guessing from the discovery process twice a day. When my ram use is lower throughout the day, I have no gaps. I am monitoring 6000ports on 190 devices. Should I be using north of 16G of ram in my env? I am happy to add more but all my reading indicates that observium is not RAM intense. My last attempt will be to move the RRDs to a ram disk but my RRDs are almost 16G at this time which I am guessing is part of the problem. Maybe it is time to clean house. Any insight would be appreciated. db

APC UPS Monitoring
by Alex Rubenstein 11 Oct '22

11 Oct '22

One of the status indicators on APC UPS's is "Diagnostic Results." It is shown as: Diagnostics Results (last 2022-10-10) ok I am looking to set up an alert where if the last diag date is more than N days ago, alert me. But since the date is somehow wrapped into the status name, rather than the status result, I am not sure how to do this. Any pointers?

Show port descriptions also on Ports -> Map view
by Thomas Stather 10 Oct '22

Hi We are running Observium Professional r12071 I noticed that if we set up a description for our network ports, these are shown on the views of the switch under Ports -> Basic Ports -> Details Ports -> Neighbours Is there a way to also show it on *Ports -> Map* for the local port (blue bubble) and the remote port (grey bubble)?

Weird results from stacked graph.
by David Milton 08 Oct '22

08 Oct '22

Hello, We have been seeing some results in our stacked graphs that do not appear to make sense. Initially we thought this was because the maximum values for the two values occurred at different points in time. That cannot be the whole issue because even if you take the sum of every pair of numbers the maximum aggregate must at least equal the maximum value of one of the two series. This graph shows the problem: How can we have a maximum value of 97.4M but an aggregate maximum of 55.7M? It seems that maximum aggregate should also at least be 97.4M. What’s happening here? Thanks, Dave.

Alerter frequency
by Alex Rubenstein 04 Oct '22

04 Oct '22

Greetings, I have been setting up Observium for a client for the last few months and I have been loving it. Amazingly flexible and reliable. I am quite pleased. I am running 22.8.12241, Subscription. I know that Observium does not support SNMP Traps and understand why. So, I have set up syslog on the services to push events and they are caught by Observium. This works fine. I have now also created syslog alerts and this works fine too. My issue is the delay from when the syslog comes to the server, and the alert goes out. I found this old mailing list entry: https://lists.observium.org/hyperkitty/list/observium@lists.observium.org/m… Adam's reply was: "We have to wait for a cron job to be run to send the alerts, because we can't do it in the syslog processing script. Iirc you can cron alerter.php to do it more frequently!" This is an acceptable solution to me, but I have a couple question: 1. Is there risk with how often this is run? If I cron'ed this for every minute, is there a risk of some sort of collision with the 5 minute poller? 1. Is it possible, as a feature request, to call alerter.php -h from syslog.php when an entry comes in? While I think Observium is an excellent piece of software, I wish it had just a little more ability to handle real-time alerts coming in. There are many situations that occur where an outage or event could be substantially shorter than the poller interval (like, a short UPS power loss), and I would like to have a little better quasi-real time alerting of these events. Thanks for you consideration.
