unending disk space growth?
by Adam Thompson 27 Sep '21

27 Sep '21

Since we last rebuilt our Observium instance in late 2019, we've noticed that it's chewing up disk space at a prodigious rate, that we didn't see before. We're seeing a steady ~300BG/month increase in storage needs. Observium, of course, monitors itself, and the line on the storage graph is a nearly-perfect slope (after adjusting for disk size increases). This came to my attention this morning (again), when we ran out of disk space (again) and I had to expand the volume (again) to continue operating. (So much for our alerting... oops.) We have added a few new devices, but not 1TB worth, and not consistently and constantly since late 2019. Since RRD files are - in theory - fixed-size, why does /opt/obvservium/rrd keep growing without bound? And how can I predict future growth? Will it ever stop? Help? Anyone? -Adam Adam Thompson Consultant, Infrastructure Services [1593169877849] 100 - 135 Innovation Drive Winnipeg, MB, R3T 6A8 (204) 977-6824 or 1-800-430-6404 (MB only) athompson(a)merlin.mb.ca<mailto:athompson@merlin.mb.ca> www.merlin.mb.ca<http://www.merlin.mb.ca/>

Changes to alarm checkers
by Daniel Johansson 23 Sep '21

23 Sep '21

Hi I see that some changes has been done to how you build the alarm checkers since a while back. Before you had to type everything out to match everything, devices, entitys and association,conditions. Now some of the things we have matched for and has worked no longer works. Also there are some stuff that I could match for before but not any londer. for example in a few cisco devices I run som links with macsec and I want to verify that the encryption is running and send an alert if not. This I can not do any more. see picture for the data I want to use: How can I still use this in observium 21.9.11575 (stable) ? ---- Regards Daniel

OpticalChannel no longer ignored
by Robert Williams 23 Sep '21

23 Sep '21

Hi! Overnight during the svn up to 11597 we have gained a couple of hundred 'ports' which are on various SmartOptics chassis (DCP and M series) of type "Optical Channel" There was already an exclusion for this type of interface (as the data polled is null anyway, even for 'Up' channels) but it now seems to be ignoring the exclusion and showing a couple of hundred extra (Down) ports now. The current config.php exclusions I've tried are: $config['bad_if_regexp'][] = "/opticalChannel/"; $config['bad_if'][] = "opticalChannel"; $config['bad_iftype'][] = "opticalChannel"; With no luck, although it is correctly importing them into the config, for example: Any ideas please?

Location Not Showing
by Njoroge, Joyce (Stadt Ulm) 21 Sep '21

21 Sep '21

Hallo, the snmp location configuration in the Cisco switches are separated by a comma. But in Observium, the comma is changed to 1%F, which I assume is the reason for the error. When I change the location menu type in the web UI to geocoded, it works okay but not for nested location despite setting the Nested Location split character to a comma . -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: observium <observium-bounces(a)observium.org> Im Auftrag von observium-request(a)observium.org Gesendet: Mittwoch, 15.
