Chrome issue with 6k Crossbar
by Robert Williams 11 Dec '12

11 Dec '12

Hi, There seems to be an issue with ‘Normal’ view and the Catalyst 6k Crossbar graph images in Chrome (latest 23.0.1271.95 m) It’s fine in Widescreen view and it’s also fine in Internet Explorer. Normal View: Widescreen View: Our SVN auto-updates so this has probably come with one of the most recent versions. No urgency at all and no feedback needed - just reporting it so it can be tweaked when convenient :) Cheers! Robert Williams Custodian DataCentre email: Robert(a)CustodianDC.com

Problems with setting up bills in rev0.12.12.3474
by Daniel Preussker 08 Dec '12

08 Dec '12

Hi, it seems the JavaScript bugs when adding a bill, whenever I click on "Add Port" it redirects me back to "/#addport", displaying my log-overview. Also adding a bill from the view of a port wont work either, even though I open "/bills/view=add/port=27/", the port is not added to the created bill. Is this a known "feauture"? I remember having to add bills and services raw into the SQL, I dont mind doing so but I cant seem to find the wiki-entry for it again...

Moving an interface from one device to another and having the graph follow
by Jason Lixfeld 07 Dec '12

07 Dec '12

I just moved a transit link from router 1 to router 2. I cleared the old interface on router 1 and copied it to router 2. When I went back to my Observium graphs, the aggregate graphs picked up the interface in the transit aggregate graph, but all the old data was lost. I guess this doesn't really surprise me, although it might be kinda cool to have Observium automagically move the graph to the new interface if the new interface description matches, but that might be a little problematic if there was ever a case where a dedupe was required on interface descriptions, so I digress.. Is there a way to get that old data back somehow? Thanks in advance.

Re: [Observium] future of Service Monitoring & Discovery
by Daniel Preussker 06 Dec '12

Hi Tom, I've been afraid you would say something like that. Lets just hope there'll be a replacement in future... About Nagios, I've been on nagios for quite a while now and just switched back to Observium once again. I definitely prefer Observium over Nagios to be honest, after all I always ended up with Observium in the end ;) However, I could imagine an NMap integration into Observium for probing Ports and Services; Since Observium already knows which ports are open, it should be possible to wrap NMap in a shell-script and let it execute along service-polling for probing and service analysis.

future of Service Monitoring & Discovery
by Daniel Preussker 06 Dec '12

06 Dec '12

Hello Obversium-List, I've read on the wiki (http://observium.org/wiki/Services) that Services are going to be removed in future. Will there be a replacement without extra software on the clients? Alternatively, whats the most efficient way of monitoring TCP/UDP Port states when Services are being removed? Thanks and Kind regards from snow-white germany, Daniel Preussker [ Security Consultant, Network & Protocol Security and Cryptography [ LPI & Novell Certified Linux Engineer and Researcher [ +49 178 600 96 30 [ Daniel(a)Preussker.Net [ http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x87E736968E490AA1

Just curious what the average size of an observium installation is among the users on the email list. I have ~150 devices with ~6000 ports across three sites. Anybody else? Morgan

Missing info
by Mike Richardson 29 Nov '12

29 Nov '12

Hiya, We're just started using Observium and are quite impressed. We've added a few of our devices - just the key ones. What were seeing is that for the devices they are missing some of the data. For example the following tabs are missing - Health, VLANs, Map and Inventory. The environment panels are missing (Processors, Memory etc.) The poller is running successfully and the port information is being populated and graphs are draw correctly. What we're not doing is running the Discover command. AFAICT it will add to Observium devices it finds from CDP as a matter of course. We don't want that to happen. My uneducated guess is that the discover command is also picking up some of the information we're missing. (I've run the command briefly then killed it when I realised what it was doing, and some of the devices are populated with Health, VLANs etc.) If I'm right, is there a way to gather the above information about the devices already present but not add any more? I've got: $config['dp_autocreate'] = false; ## Autodiscover unknown hosts seen via discovery protocols in the config but discover still seems to add new devices. If I'm wrong then could someone set me straight please?
