migrating observium to a new server
by Shawn Faulkingham 06 Mar '17

Is anyone aware of any documentation to migrate an observing installation to a new server? I am moving from CentOS 6 to CentOS 7 for security and PHP reasons. If anyone has any pointers, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Shawn Faulkingham

Observium-OpsGenie integration
by Celal Emre Çiçek 06 Mar '17

06 Mar '17

Hello, My name is Celal Emre ÇİÇEK and I'm an integration engineer at OpsGenie. I'd like to know if there are any changes in the latest updates of Observium that could affect Observium - OpsGenie integration. Today, one of our customers came up with a problem. He says Observium alerts aren't being forwarded to OpsGenie. He also says that he didn't change any configuration in Observium and in OpsGenie. We've confirmed that he didn't change any configuration in our side. We also asked him to check his Observium configuration and compare it with our docs. He's checked and nothing is wrong. So, we wonder if there are any changes that affect OpsGenie integration in Observium in the latest updates, maybe some changes in the backend. Could you please check and return to us? Best regards, Celal Emre ÇİÇEK

[observium] facing problem in email alerting.
by Santanu Mandal 05 Mar '17

05 Mar '17

Hello Guys, I am facing a problem regarding Observium Alerting. Few days ego I have enabled alerts and configured to send to couple of specific email ids. Configured those email Ids in .php file as well as in GUI. Due to some reason I have removed those email Ids to stop sending alerts. Now Observium starts collecting email ids from ‘snmp contact’ configuration of device and sending alerts to this email id. Please let me know what to configure so that Observium would not be able to send emails to the email id which is configured in snmp contact of network device ? Thanking you, Santanu Mandal +91 7028357135

Unable to parse header `DSName' rrdtool
by Sam Hernandez-gill 03 Mar '17

03 Mar '17

I have a few different rrdtool graphs that are outputting "RRDTool Output: ERROR: rrdc_fetch: Unable to parse header `DSName'" So far I've only noticed it on specific Citrix Netscaler graphs, the Netscaler SSL ones nsSslHandshakes, nsSslSessions, etc and TCP Connections and TCP Packets for the netscalers are all in the same state with Unable to parse header `DSName'. [cid:image001.png@01D29412.6D368F20] Sadly I didn't notice when, I did recently upgrade to revision 8417, however these aren't graphs I frequently look at. Anybody else with netscalers in their environment at the same revision?

Migration CentOS 6 to 7 - Graphs Failing
by Storer, Darren 03 Mar '17

03 Mar '17

Our Observium professional server file system was recently damaged beyond recovery. Fortunately the database and the Observium directory had been backed up the night before. The older server OS was CentOS 6 and the new OS is CentOS 7 (both 64 bit). The Observium directory was restored and the database imported; now the Observium web page is working well, with visibility of all devices, historic stats/states/graphs etc. The cron jobs are running and polling etc. - the state of devices updates dynamically via the map too. However, there are no updates to the any of the graphs. I'm not sure if there is a database problem, RRD problem or file permissions problem. Placing /debug after various pages does not reveal any problems. Can anyone recommend other places to look for debug/logging information? Thanks in advance Darren
