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.

Hi All. Is there a way to disable same subnet devices shown in port list: Since we have lots of devices with identical LAN network, list on the right of the page can be very long (and useless, btw ...). Thanks, Arrigo.

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

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

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.
