Hello. We have started using Observium to monitor our environment. Just went to add an exchange server using WMI and received the following error when doing the poller.php call. Some of the info in Observium Updates, some does not. Any help would be appreciated. I am happy to supply any additional information that is required. Command: ./poller.php -h exchange.xxxxxxx.local -m wmi ##### Module Start: wmi ##### WMI Poller: Windows version updated: Server 2012 R2 Datacenter (6.3.9600) Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2640 0 @ 2.50GHz Storage WMI: ...

Alert Checker Advice
by Mahurin, Randy 19 Jan '17

19 Jan '17

Hello, I am struggling to get a couple of alert checkers built and am hoping someone can point me in the correct direction regarding my syntax. In the first one, I'd like to alert whenever a processor rises above 45% which is working great, however, I'd like to exclude loadbalancer devices from the check. Attached is a screenshot of my alert check, when I look at alert logging, I see that loadbalancers are still being checked. I've tried "type notequals loadbalancer" as part of the test with the same results. The second alert I'm struggling with is a battery alert based on a status alert with a status of "batteryNeedsReplacing" preferably only looking at device type equals power. I've attached my attempt at that alert as well. I've been through the documentation, but still can't seem to get my syntax correct. I appreciate any advice anyone can give. Currently running 0.16.12.8292 stable.

hostname shortening bug
by Sebastian Klute 19 Jan '17

19 Jan '17

Dear Team, we have noticed since a couple of days that some switches are shorten in the name. In detail: At the overview page under the section 'Status Warnings and Notifications' we got several switches shorten in name. For example the name is 'fra4.b.j1-switch1.acc' and in the given section it is shorten to 'fra4.a' and thats it. This behaviour is not occuring at other switches. Only at about 20% of our infrastructure this strange shortening appears. Fully random, no particularly order or chronological order to notice. I cannot get an idea why this is happening. The switches are added through hostnames as usual. First I thought this is caused by the dots in the name that they are somehow noticed as a kind of DNS suffix and that the names are shorten by this. But at other switches named by the same scheme this is not the case. Do you got an Idea why this is happening or what we can do against it? Kind regards, Sebastian

UPS Input Current Detection
by Robert Williams 18 Jan '17

18 Jan '17

Hi, Got a weird issue with UPS data collection for devices that are in ‘Eco Mode’. (I’m not a fan of the mode, but some customers run them this way.) In brief, it means the UPS is running on internal bypass with the inverter synchronised but off-load. When there is a failure then it starts being a UPS again, quickly. This means that 99.9% of the time it has near-zero “Input Current” because the load is being fed from the bypass line. This seems to cause Observium to cease polling the values for the Input Currents (they are zero, or near-zero) on some of the three phases. The most annoying side effect is that they disappear and re-appear (depending if the value is zero or 0.1A) during each detection run, so the custom sensor values seem to get reset. Causing random alarms when the values drop to zero again. [cid:image001.png@01D26FDB.CB82BEB0] Interestingly, it does not seem to have this issue with the Bypass Current which (in this device) isn’t metered and therefore is always zero, but always gets found OK. There is residual current on Input Phase 2 and Input Phase 3 but rarely does it show anything on Input Phase 1 (until the UPS goes active). I hope that this all makes a small amount of sense - attached is a debug discovery and a debug poll of the sensors module for this example device. (The last run I did it found Phase 2 and Phase 3.) I have also attached an SNMP walk of the device. I’ve done this several times and I always get all the OIDs responded to, but phases 1 and 2 are often zero: root@:~# snmpwalk <blah> 1.3.6.1.2.1.33.1.3.3.1.4 iso.3.6.1.2.1.33.1.3.3.1.4.1 = INTEGER: 0 iso.3.6.1.2.1.33.1.3.3.1.4.2 = INTEGER: 1 iso.3.6.1.2.1.33.1.3.3.1.4.3 = INTEGER: 2 root@:~# snmpwalk <blah> 1.3.6.1.2.1.33.1.3.3.1.4 iso.3.6.1.2.1.33.1.3.3.1.4.1 = INTEGER: 0 iso.3.6.1.2.1.33.1.3.3.1.4.2 = INTEGER: 1 iso.3.6.1.2.1.33.1.3.3.1.4.3 = INTEGER: 2 root@:~# snmpwalk <blah> 1.3.6.1.2.1.33.1.3.3.1.4 iso.3.6.1.2.1.33.1.3.3.1.4.1 = INTEGER: 0 iso.3.6.1.2.1.33.1.3.3.1.4.2 = INTEGER: 1 iso.3.6.1.2.1.33.1.3.3.1.4.3 = INTEGER: 2 root@:~# snmpwalk <blah> 1.3.6.1.2.1.33.1.3.3.1.4 iso.3.6.1.2.1.33.1.3.3.1.4.1 = INTEGER: 0 iso.3.6.1.2.1.33.1.3.3.1.4.2 = INTEGER: 0 iso.3.6.1.2.1.33.1.3.3.1.4.3 = INTEGER: 1 root@:~# snmpwalk <blah> 1.3.6.1.2.1.33.1.3.3.1.4 iso.3.6.1.2.1.33.1.3.3.1.4.1 = INTEGER: 0 iso.3.6.1.2.1.33.1.3.3.1.4.2 = INTEGER: 0 iso.3.6.1.2.1.33.1.3.3.1.4.3 = INTEGER: 1 So – bug or UPS card fail?
