Connect to device icon?
by Chris Macneill 05 Sep '20

05 Sep '20

Hi, I was sure at one point there was a "Connect to device/terminal" icon in Observium, but either I'm mistaken and it was never there or now so buried I can no longer find it. Whilst hostnames and/or IP addresses are shown in Observium, they generally have active links attached to them to take you to other screens in Observium, this makes it hard to copy these into a Browser to gain access to the device's GUI. It would be nice to have a "Connect to device" icon next to the IP/Hostname that will make it much easier to click through to the device's own GUI. We recently started using Ubiquiti's UNMS monitoring system which is good for Ubiquiti devices, but pretty lousy for anything else. UNMS has a "Copy to clipboard" icon next to each IP address making it really easy to then connect to the device's GUI. I like the "Copy to clipboard" method rather than a URL link, as this is generic and you can then copy and paste into a browser or any other application. Regards Chris Macneill

Hello, Is it possible to reset the GEO location via cli ??? I have such a case, GEO displays 2dev, it's actually 30, the address is the same (same location), geo reset helps but for 30 devices it's tiring. [cid:image001.png@01D6829D.8F80D630] Regards Jacek Dąbrowski

Hi All, Is anyone monitoring VPNV4/VRF BGP sessions? I can see Observium is successfully discovering peers but not showing state for some reason. Is anyone having same issues?

Difference in polling between community and professionnal edition ?
by mosdvas 02 Sep '20

02 Sep '20

Hello, I've been using Observium for a few months in my company and I'm thinking about upgrading to the professional version. Does this version add more powerful mibs on hardware or add some fonctionnality on WMI polling ? Like for example : - BGP & Peering session on Mikrotiks (CCRXXX) - spooler tracking on Zebra printers - Windows's wmi poller able to list services and their states Best Regards,

Alert Check - Monitoring Cisco Stack Redundancy
by Mezzadri, Steven 01 Sep '20

01 Sep '20

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me write a better alert checker to determine if a Cisco stack has a missing member. Occasionally, one member of a stack will fail, but the stack continues to operate so it's not in a "down" state. I would like to get a notification when that happens. I am currently monitoring all stack ports, but any unused stack ports show "down" as well, so I'm looking for a better solution. [image: image.png] I would like to use another status indicator such as "stack is redundant" or "stacking state": [image: image.png] Perhaps cswRingRedundant ? [image: image.png] Could anyone assist me with how to construct an alert check to accomplish this? Thanks! -- Steven Mezzadri Network Engineer

observium docker/Kubernetes install
by Simon Mousey Smith 27 Aug '20

27 Aug '20

Hi all I wondered if anybody has setup observium inside a docker container or even inside a Kubernetes cluster? If they have: are they running it fine? How does it preform? what’s the usage like? Only reason I’m asking if I’m looking sadly to move all our VMs (50) into smaller containers (10) and running Kubernetes as most things can be done by containers I’m just yet to find anyone with an observium container? Regards Simon Sent from my iPhone

Re: [Observium] Connect to device icon?
by Chris Macneill 27 Aug '20

I'm using the Subscription version, so maybe I remember from the days before we paid and were using the CE version. In the Subscription version under the Device Cog the "Connect via" options are replaced by a "Show Tech Support" icon, but nothing in there to connect anywhere. Looks like feature has somehow dropped off Subscription version, I'm a full administrator so should be able to see anything the system has to offer. Currently running 20.8.10631 (stable).

Hi, I the options that you are looking for are found on the device settings cog (not the global settings cog). At least, that's where they are on my CE install. I tried to screen grab the [ http://demo.observium.org/ | demo.observium.org ] instance for you, but it appears that it may also be specific to user account priveleges (or the option has fallen off between CE and current PE). Here's the screenshot from my install.
