Syslog host matching with multiple devices and 1 public IP
by mp＠matt-parkinson.co.uk 26 Jan '23

26 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?

Understanding device availability graph
by Dale Chambers 17 Jan '23

Good Morning, I am dealing with IT who has no understanding about networks, they have looked at a particular graph on Observium being the device availability and blaming that the issue is the switch based on what they see on the graph. The availability is 100% however there are sections that are shown red. Could you tell me what the red gradings is supposed to represent please?
