User access levels
by Tibor Marchyn 06 Dec '24

06 Dec '24

Hi, I have another beginner question please. I have setup Active Directory authentication, but how can I limit users to exact devices? I really do not want for some users to see anything else than they need to and all of them have level 1 access. And I can't see any option to limit them or assign user to device. Also it would be great to assign users to exact device group I have created. Thanks a lot Tibor

How to add a device which only responds to ping/icmp?
by Thomas Stather 22 Aug '24

22 Aug '24

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.

Missing some nice stats from Cisco 9800 that I got from Cisco 5520
by andri＠harpa.is 12 Aug '24

12 Aug '24

Hi Our organization recently upgraded from Cisco 5520 WLC to Cisco 9800 WLC. In observium I get really good statistics about wireless client count and wireless ap count on the 5520 but not on the 9800. I am not sure if this is something on observium side or cisco side. But I wanted to ask if anyone has the same issue and if they found a solution. Or maybe this is just something that needs to be added. Please let me know if there is any further information I can submit. Best regards Andri

Many devices shown as down(dns)
by Marios.P＠crowe.com.cy 19 Jul '24

19 Jul '24

Hello all, I can see in my observium installation that many devices changed their status to down(dns). This is a new installation and we migrated the configuration yesterday on a new server and devices were working properly. At around the same time (14:20:00) a lot of our machines changed their status to down. The message in the Event log is "Device status changed to Down (dns)". I tried to find what the problem may be but I can see SNMP are correct and dns records exist for the systems. Any ideas? Thank you, Marios

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
