Traffic collection on the vlan interface
by Kleber Cristiano Santilli Coelho 11 Jul '23

11 Jul '23

Good morning! I hope everyone is okay! I have a question about collecting traffic on vlan interfaces. My HPE/3Com devices (7510, 5510, 5520, 4800) show graphs of vlan interfaces but the graph is always empty with no data. On physical interfaces collected normally. Is there any configuration that I need/can do to get the values of the vlan interfaces? Thanks. --

Hi, I have some ping probes and a generic alert check that alerts if any of the ping probes fail like this: [cid:image001.jpg@01D9AB6C.2065CB20] But..now I need to have 2 different alerts based on the name in the ping probe.... How can I write an alert check to distinguish 2 different alert probes? Thanks Tony

Overriding Alert Transport Parameters
by Milton Ngan 16 Jun '23

16 Jun '23

Is it possible to override the alert transport parameters? In particular, I want to include the ENTITY_DESCRIPTION into the summary field for Pagerduty. When I put in this line into the config.php $config['transports']['pagerduty']['notification']['request_params']['payload']['summary'] = 'ALERT: [%DEVICE_HOSTNAME%] [%ENTITY_NAME%] [%ENTITY_DESCRIPTION%] %ALERT_MESSAGE%'; I can see it in the Global Settings | Changed Dump page, but the value doesn't update in the Global Settings | Full Dump. So this seems to indicate that Observium is initializing these values after the config has been read in. Is this the case? Is there a user configurable way to change the title of the alerts? Cheers Milton

I can get to the login page and we can all login, but after that, we're not able to access any of the other pages. I know the htaccess file in the html folder has to be converted to nginx supported format, which I have done, but still no luck. Added to the complication is that we are having to run this on a machine running php7.4-fpm. Is there any guidance on getting Observium running on a Debian 11 instance using Nginx and PHP7.4-FPM?
