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.

Questions on Sensor Alerts
by Brad Bendy 27 Apr '23

27 Apr '23

I've got some MikroTik routers that under Statuses shows the Primary and Backup power supplies. Having a hard time trying to figure out how to get alerts for these to be sent. These are type of sensor I am pretty sure but what to match on? Is best way to match on MIBObject or description of some sort? I have tried a few things and can't seem to get the alerts to match. Any direction would be appreciated. Thanks

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.
