Alert Emails sent to exchange
by Matt Zillmann 14 Jan '16

14 Jan '16

I am working on setting up alerting. I have the subscription version of Observium ( version 0.16.1.7407 [stable] running on CentOS 7). I am stuck on the email alerting piece. What settings do I need to configure in sendmail for my email alerts to get sent to my email on our internal exchange server. Anyone have any idea how this needs to be set up? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

pages slow, maybe nginx instead of apache
by Simon Smith 14 Jan '16

14 Jan '16

Hi All, I wanted a view on what people think about using nginx instead of apache for obsevium? ive just managed to change apache to nginx (had to change htaccess to get it to work, but got there in the end) and it seems a little bit quicker but not by much I’m having an issue where when the server is polling and i want a graph or load up the page, it seems slow and takes forever! ( about 10 seconds ) if I load the panel when its not polling, the pages are quick, but i poll every 5mins, and it takes the full 5 mins to poll all our devices, so really no room to wiggle... if the anyway i can speed this up? would nginx help at all? my server is virtual based, 12gb ram, 4 virtual xeon 2.2ghz cores, 80gb virtual hard drive regards Simon

Alert Checkers
by Matt Zillmann 13 Jan '16

13 Jan '16

Hello, I just purchased the subscription version and am looking into setting up Alert checkers. How do I get an alert checker to run? I was referring to documentation and looked the DEMO and it looks like the checker will determine a pass/fail. I have set one for storage [cid:image001.png@01D14DF5.9B1B9F20] Is there something else I need to put?

it’s not “broken” in the sense that CSCO officially considers multicontext snmp the “by-design” method (and I have the TAC cases to prove it). remember, snmp *works* which means it’s for grouchy old [grey|neck]beards. netconf & shiny-api-disaster-of-the-week are supposed to rule the new agile! world! of! devops! ( *gag* ) not just ASRs … for instance, it’s the same thing (multicontext snmp hell) with VRFs on n7k’s. so, it’s a “feature” not a “bug” smh R. > On Jan 13, 2016, at 07:00, observium-request(a)observium.org wrote: > > Because the MIB is broken and doesn?t have any concept of VRF awareness. > > The workaround that I used on my ASR9Ks was to create a different context for the VRF in question. > > This config example basically treats the vrf Inetv4 as the default vrf when polling with community blahpoo.

95th percent billing
by ChanTy 13 Jan '16

13 Jan '16

Hi, I just want to clarify the burstable rate calculation which should work as below according to wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burstable_billing#95th_percentile) : “ Bandwidth is measured (or sampled) from the switch or router and recorded in a log file. In most cases, this is done every 5 minutes. At the end of the month, the samples are sorted from highest to lowest, and the top 5% (which equal to approximately 36 hours of a 30-day billing cycle) of data is thrown away. The next highest measurement becomes the billable use for the entire month. “ Is observium applying the same calculation on BILLING feature ? Is it possible to download RAW file in which has sample of every 5 minutes ? Regards, chanty
