Request feature: Comment when suppressing alert
by Lars Joergensen 03 May '23

03 May '23

Dear list We're have three teams working in Observium, spread across the globe and time zones. We spend some time figuring out why alerts were suppressed and by who. Would it be possible to add a comment on a suppression action? Kind of a "operator event log" in Observium, correlated to devices and users.

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.

VMWare ESXi looses CPU information
by Basile Bluntschli 12 Apr '23

12 Apr '23

Hi Observium Team since a few SVN updates, ESXi start loosing CPU information after full discovery. It is not clear what triggers it... However the ESXi have not been updated, but Observium is at the latest version from rolling SVN. What would you need to further debug it? Kind regards Basile

Hi, I have added some custom probes in the "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins” but I can’t get them to show up in the WebUI. I have done some googling to find if there is a config option that I need to add but so far I have failed. Can someone please point me in the right direction for this ? Thanks !

Alerting if LAG member drops?
by Bryan Fields 22 Mar '23

22 Mar '23

I'm looking at an easy way to send an alert if a LAG member drops. Running subscription Observium 22.12.12421 and talking a Juniper EX4500 switch. My thought was to have a global check that looked for ifType = ieee8023adLag and then if there was some way members changed, but I don't see a way to detect/check for this. I don't think Observium has any graphing on the LAG port members state. BTW, this would be a great thing to add to have viability into LAG members at the ae level. Perhaps checking if ifHighSpeed goes down? Other than putting up check on the underlying interfaces manually, does anyone have an idea on this?
