Problem with PoE status indicator on a HPE 5130 switch
by Thomas Stather 10 Nov '17

10 Nov '17

Hi I am having a problem with a PoE status indicator on a switch which is used in our datacenter: Observium: Observium Professional 8930 (stable) Switch: HPE 5130 48G PoE+ 4SFP+ 1-slot HI Switch JH326A This is a switch cluster containing 2 switches via IRF. Initially, PoE was only enabled on the first one but approx. 1 month ago it was enables on the second switch as well. However, the sensor "PoE group 7" (which is used for the second cluster member) shows the status as "off" with a value of 2 (whereas "PoE group 4 " is showing "on" with a value of 1 as it should be). Is this an error maybe and how can i fix this false-positive? Thanks in advance!

Observium Installscript
by Markus Klock 10 Nov '17

10 Nov '17

Hi guys, I got tired of doing the Observium setup everytime when I installed a lot of VMs so I wrote an automatic installscript for installing Observium It works for Ubuntu 14/16 and Debian 8/9 and it also gives you an option to install the unix-agent and have it monitor itself with the Apache and MySQL-app. I would love to have it tested in more environments so if you are about to install an Observium somewhere, please give the script a try. You find the script here: https://github.com/ZerxXxes/observium_installscript (please don't read the code, its a ugly mess) /Markus

generation of false alarm ?
by Edvinas K 10 Nov '17

10 Nov '17

Hello, What could be the reason of the generation of false alarm: *ALERT* Modify <http://10.13.40.217/device/device=382/tab=alert/alert_entry=7751/> *Alert* *MoreThan80PortUtilization* *Entity* *Ethernet1/51 <http://10.13.40.217/device/device=382/tab=port/port=1694030/>* *Descr* NXOS1-ITXx2 *Conditions* ifOutOctets_perc ge 80 (395649) *Metrics* ifInOctets_perc = 11 * ifOutOctets_perc = 395649* *Duration* 10m 8s (2017-11-08 02:18:10) As you coud notice the *ifOutOctets_perc = 395649 * shows some irregular value, which's not on the graphs itself, but the alarm is generated. During migration the migration period from old observium server to new one, at same time we have two observiums running, so older one have the same alerts configured - but that (older one) haven't generated any false alarm. So - waht could be the reason ? Thanks!

Multi-Site
by Ben Filippelli 09 Nov '17

09 Nov '17

Has anyone looked at setting up a multi-site with Observium or do you just setup at different locations? We have about 40 locations many are not connected via VPN because of business need. We were looking at Zenoss because it has a master/slave but really prefer observium setup and simplicity.

Delete an associated Device from an Custom OID
by Oberreiter Andreas 08 Nov '17

08 Nov '17

Hi, according to http://docs.observium.org/customoid/ there should be a delete button next to associated devices in the Custom OID List. This is not the case on my system. Am I missing something? Is there another way to delete an association? My Observium Version 17.10.8930 Kind regards Andreas Oberreiter

Re: [Observium] Support for Aruba IAP (model: 335 fw:6.5.1.5)
by Thomas Stather 08 Nov '17

Hi It would be really great if you could consider adding at least some basic support for these devices so that the graphs "Number of APs" and "Wireless Clients" are populated. If i can help anything in this matter just let me know.

resetting sensors doesn't work (Observium 17.5.8580)
by Thomas Stather 08 Nov '17

08 Nov '17

Hi I just noticed that one of our switches produces false positive errors because of incorrectly (auto) set thresholds for its sensors. I then activated "reset sensors" on the sensors page of the device (there were no values for "min" and "max" set, the current temperature of the sensor is 44 degrees). In the log i see: 5m 42s swhp58-04 <https://observium.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/device/device=22/tab=logs/section…> SubCard0 <https://observium.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/device/device=22/tab=health/metri…> Sensor updated (custom): temperature hh3c-entity-ext-mib 2535 SubCard0 [L: Array][Lw: Array][Hw: Array][H: Array] (by user: tstather) 5m 42s swhp58-04 <https://observium.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/device/device=22/tab=logs/section…> SubCard0 <https://observium.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/device/device=22/tab=health/metri…> Sensor updated (custom): temperature hh3c-entity-ext-mib 2534 SubCard0 [L: Array][Lw: Array][Hw: Array][H: Array] (by user: tstather) 5m 42s swhp58-04 <https://observium.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/device/device=22/tab=logs/section…> Board <https://observium.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/device/device=22/tab=health/metri…> Sensor updated (custom): temperature hh3c-entity-ext-mib 2533 Board [L: Array][Lw: Array][Hw: Array][H: Array] (by user: tstather) 5m 42s swhp58-04 <https://observium.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/device/device=22/tab=logs/section…> Board <https://observium.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/device/device=22/tab=health/metri…> Sensor updated (custom): temperature hh3c-entity-ext-mib 2532 Board [L: Array][Lw: Array][Hw: Array][H: Array] (by user: tstather) but the warnings are fired again. There is still no value for "min" or "max" for those sensors. Attached is a screenshot. What am i doing wrong here? Thanks in advance!
