Still cannot log onto the web console
by Matthew Cotter 30 Jan '23

30 Jan '23

Hi Adam, A long time ago, I sent an email saying I could not log onto the Observium website. It appears to be still working when I look at the log file which is HUGE, 1781351488 in size. I was looking at the housekeeping option but when I was poking around in the terminal, I see there is cron.daily, cron.weekly, cron.monthly. no cron.d How can I run this on the fly to clean up that file? I could not figure that out. my Linux is amateur at best. I can navigate around, and edit files, but no coding experience. Please help.. I have made many changes to our network and I need to ger this so we can log in and I need to update the devices. Thank you!

Forigate with virtual interfaces only
by Marian Rychtecky 26 Jan '23

26 Jan '23

Hi all, I have a short question: Does each device's main "traffic graph" (aggregated traffic in the overview) only show physical interfaces? Today I installed FG-200F with all interfaces as LAG (LAN and WAN is the LAG interface of 2 physical interfaces). Unfortunately, I cannot see traffic from LAG interfaces counted in total traffic. The main graph looks like traffic is aggregated per physical interface only. Any solution for this, please? BTW - Fortigate is not showing physical interfaces when they are part of LAG.

Syslog host matching with multiple devices and 1 public IP
by mp＠matt-parkinson.co.uk 25 Jan '23

25 Jan '23

Hi, We have recently started using the syslog part of Observium and for the most part it works well where we have multiple public IP's logs are coming from or for places where we have VPN's and can reach devices on their local IP's. We are running into a problem however when we have multiple devices pushing their syslog's to us over a WAN link and they come from the same public IP. We're using the %fromhost% variable in the configuration and all logs seem to end up with the first device that we have set in /etc/hosts to match the public IP. We've tried changing the %fromhost% to %hostname% instead thinking it would use the hostname within the log entry but unfortunately that didn't work either. I've had a look at the documentation on how to do manual matching but I don't think that would help here either as it's only going to match the public IP. Has anyone come up against this before and know if there is a way to resolve it or will I need to create VPN's to each of those sites so we can push the logs over their private IP's instead?

Values keep flapping
by Marian Rychtecky 21 Jan '23

21 Jan '23

Hi all, I'm wondering why a lot of our device's values keep flapping. It's outside of the discovery schedule. Therefore I guess it's something with SNMP timers. It happens on all devices randomly. Does anyone have similar issues? Thank you, Marian -- Marian Rychtecký mr(a)nix.cz Phone +420 724 397 441 NIX.CZ z.s.p.o. Americká 23, Praha 2 130 52 Czech Republic http://www.nix.cz

We currently have a professional license and wish to upgrade to a enterprise license. Is there an upgrade method or do we lose the value of the unused pro license?
