Recent update beaks Rancid for Cisco ASAs
by David Wilkinson 08 Jan '16

08 Jan '16

Hi, We have recently updated our version and the generate rancid script is now using the wrong type for the Cisco ASA devices. The type used for the Cisco ASA should be "cisco", it has recently changed so it sets the type to be "asa" This causes rancid to fail with an unknown type. Can this be corrected? We are using rancid 3.1. Observium: 0.16.1.7396 (rolling) Regards David

SFP sensor alerts
by Martin 07 Jan '16

07 Jan '16

Hi All, What is the best way to suppress alerts for Transceiver TX Power generated when a port is admin-down? cisco-entity-sensor mib has a default minimum value of 1mA, which is a perfectly valid minimum value under normal "up/up" conditions, but if the port is admin-shut it will switch off tx power, which is ok for admin-shut. Same situation for RX-power. Is there a way to take the admin status of the port in account for this kind of sensor readings? (ASR9k, IOS-XR) Thanks, Martin

Port Errors Showing for Alert-Disabled ports
by Robert Williams 07 Jan '16

07 Jan '16

Hi, Not sure when it started, but we now seem to get “Port Error” alerts on the main page for ports which are set to have their Alerts disabled, for example: [cid:image001.jpg@01D1494E.A318C000] On the device in question, they are indeed ‘No’ under the Alerts toggle: [cid:image002.jpg@01D1494E.A318C000] There are a large number of ports like this on our network with IP PDUs and similar, all of which have 10M/Half links and exist in a state of near-constant input errors as a result. This is of no concern at all and should be ignored (hence the toggle). Any suggestions? Is the Alerts toggle broken (for this feature on the main page) or is there another way to shush these, it’s kind of making the main page list a bit defunct ☺ Cheers all!

UNIX agent Postgres versions
by Attila Nagy 06 Jan '16

06 Jan '16

Hi everyone! I was in the process of configuring the UNIX agent and I found (as written in the documentation too) that the script only supports Postgres version 9. But after experimenting a little bit I realized that the script works perfectly with the 8.4 version. I was able to test with an 8.3 which was working as well. So maybe the script should be changed to enable any 8.X version. Anyway I created a patch and attached it. If some of you find it helpful then maybe post the version which was working, so we can update the version string. Regards, Tylla
