webhook Teams 400 bad request
by staf.vangestel＠vitohoogstraten.be 13 Jan '25

13 Jan '25

"Hello, we started using Observium a while back (Observium CE 24.4.13528). I want to receive notifications within our Team in case of issues, so I created a webhook in Teams and added it in Observium under contacts. However, when I perform a test with `test_alert.php`, I get the error message '400 Bad Request' with the error 'Summary or Text is required'. I've read a lot about this issue, but I haven't been able to resolve it. I'm not very skilled at debugging, but I did test with Webhoo.site, and that works. Also, when I run `curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"text": "Hello"}' https://xxxxxx`, the "Hello" message arrives in the Team. So why does it fail with `test_alert.php` (and also with the alerts)? Thank you in advance for any response." Staf Van Gestel Vito Hoogstraten --- Let me know if you need any further adjustments!

Ports of transit data resume
by Arnoldo Vidal Bravo 04 Jan '25

04 Jan '25

HELLO, I need to configure an alert for ports with transit description. To know which are transit ports I hope to use the network map. How can I export the data generated with the network map in a table? [image: image.png] The image shows a button to export data, but not in a table. -- Saluda cordialmente

Monitoring UPS
by Bar Russo 26 Dec '24

26 Dec '24

Hey there. I have UPS of Solar Edge and I succeed to monitor it via the Observium. The thing is, that beside if it's up or down I don't get any information about it. Such as Battery status, etc. Do I need to add some specific OID's or something? Thanks in advance. Best regards, Bar Russo | Information Technology Phone: 03-9546064 Address: Ariel Sharon 8 blvd.

4 devices showing down after update to Observium
by Anthony Polselli 21 Dec '24

21 Dec '24

4 of my switches are showing: "Down (DNS)..." If I SSH into the server I can still ping the switches by DNS name. Thoughts?

Building an Observium appliance
by Serge Caron 16 Dec '24

16 Dec '24

It's time I give something back to the community. This project, GitHub - SergeCaron/observium_appliance: Build and maintain an Observium appliance<https://github.com/SergeCaron/observium_appliance>, is aimed at SMB environments and walks the sysadmin through each phase of creating and maintaining (backup, restore, upgrade) an Observium appliance. It also covers the installation of Let's Encrypt certificates, secure (https) access to the Observium web site, basic email configuration for notifications, and log aggregation. It's basically a recipe with scripts. A small appliance with fault tolerant network configuration is shown to emphasize the standalone nature of the project. Of course, any virtual environment can do ;-) I hope I kept the typos and omissions to a minimum. Regards, Serge Caron

User access levels
by Tibor Marchyn 06 Dec '24

06 Dec '24

Hi, I have another beginner question please. I have setup Active Directory authentication, but how can I limit users to exact devices? I really do not want for some users to see anything else than they need to and all of them have level 1 access. And I can't see any option to limit them or assign user to device. Also it would be great to assign users to exact device group I have created. Thanks a lot Tibor

Alert Checker question
by Kalafus, Miroslav 04 Dec '24

04 Dec '24

Hi, Adam, is it possible to create an Alert Checker which will check number of trunks (see picture - trunk1,3,6 = 3) for trunk6 ? Something like: if it greater than 1, alert me? Trunk1,3,6 are discovered by Observium itself, I do not know how to check that type of item. Thanks in advance, Miro

Observium isn't checking devices anymore.
by Bar Russo 03 Dec '24

03 Dec '24

Greetings, When I check the alerts I've created I can see that it's been 6 days since the last check was done, six days that the observium didn't check it. [cid:image001.png@01DB4580.CC60ADA0] For some reason it stopped checking my devices, I shut down a server and I don not receive an alert obviously. If I'm checking logs from /opt/observium/logs/observium.log I can see from the 27/11 [2024/11/27 09:45:46 +0200] poller.php(4002645): poller.php: 10.1.6.203 - 1 devices polled in 2.6017 secs [2024/11/27 09:45:46 +0200] poller.php(4002858): poller.php: 10.1.6.70 - 1 devices polled in 2.2512 secs Any ideas please?
