PHP Weathermap Integration
by Adam Armstrong 23 Oct '26

23 Oct '26

Hi Guys, We added PHP Weathermap into Observium ~2 years ago, but the enabling option wasn't documented because there was an odd javascript bug breaking the UI. It turns out the bug was the same variable name being used in two completely separate bits of code, causing a clash. Typical Javascript. This is fixed now and it mostly functions, so I've unhidden the enabling option in the web-based config. $config['weathermap']['enable'] = TRUE; It works slightly differently to the original weathermap, it generates maps on the fly and is a little better integrated into the UI. It retains all of the old issues though, the weathermap code is very, very old and should not be enabled on installs untrusted people have access to. Thanks, adam. -- Sent from Postbox <https://www.postbox-inc.com/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=siglink&utm_campai…>

Device first discovery date
by Attila Nagy 09 Oct '25

Hi Everyone! Is there a way to find out the date of the "first contact" with a device from Observium? I mean for example the date when the first discovery was run on a specific device, or something like this? (Currently the device's event log runs out after half a year.) Any ideas? Regards, Tylla

sensors and devices up down false alarms
by Simone Montagnani 30 Jun '25

30 Jun '25

In the last months I'm starting to get some issues I cannot debug well . I have some alert of devices up&down that are not really going down even at ping check. I'm sure that there are no network issues as we are talking about near switch devices, I'm starting to think that I need to debug if our observium is starting to "saturate" and the performance get poor. is there something I can check to find if we need to tune observium ? Or best practices tI can use ? CPU occupation graphs are kind of weird, processors occupation is different between Processors and Detailed Processors graphs : any idea is welcome Best Regards Simone

Install Script on Debian 12 error with mysql fix
by Bryan Fields 08 Jun '25

08 Jun '25

I just ran the install script on debian 12 as I'm rebuilding our server. I let it install mysql via the script and it died out as mysql was unable to start. I had to manually install the following packages: mariadb-plugin-provider-bzip2 mariadb-plugin-provider-lz4 \ mariadb-plugin-provider-lzma mariadb-plugin-provider-lzo \ mariadb-plugin-provider-snappy The errors showing these were missing: > mariadbd[1605]: 2025-06-08 5:48:20 0 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mariadbd: unknown variable 'provider_bzip2=force_plus_permanent' > mariadbd[1605]: 2025-06-08 5:48:20 0 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mariadbd: unknown variable 'provider_lz4=force_plus_permanent' > mariadbd[1605]: 2025-06-08 5:48:20 0 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mariadbd: unknown variable 'provider_lzma=force_plus_permanent' > mariadbd[1605]: 2025-06-08 5:48:20 0 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mariadbd: unknown variable 'provider_lzo=force_plus_permanent' > mariadbd[1605]: 2025-06-08 5:48:20 0 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mariadbd: unknown variable 'provider_snappy=force_plus_permanent' > mariadbd[1605]: 2025-06-08 5:48:20 0 [ERROR] Aborting > systemd[1]: mariadb.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=7/NOTRUNNING Once I did this, it came up and works. -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net
