Hehe. They wanted it as a 6 month stop-gap before their final solution was in place. I suppose they got the final solution in first! They were going to pay 2k.

Re: [Observium] New install of Observium; fails to add device
by Michael Sweikata 27 Mar '13

Sorry for the formatting issue, I had my mailing list set to bulk distributions, which I've changed, so I'm not replying to the latest messages. Okay, I'm not sure what the hell, but once I loaded up the net-snmp-utils it worked fine. So I'm assuming that some of the packages didn't load correctly. I'll re-install all of them just to see what happens. Thanks for the quick response Adam and Dean!

Issues with port alerts.
by List User 27 Mar '13

27 Mar '13

Hi there, I am a new user to Observium and seem to be having an issue with the options for "Ports" on a device. I currently have 2 devices hooked up, working fine. The problem is when I edit the device and go to edit the Threshold and PPS settings, they never save. I tried both the Save and Save changes button. I used this guide to install Observium (http://www.observium.org/wiki/Ubuntu_SVN_Installation). The only I changed was instead of doing addhost in the command line, I did it on the website instead. Other then that, I didn't touch anything else. The server is dedicated to Observium and is running Ubuntu 12.10 (32bit). I noticed the FAQ had an entry which seemed related (http://www.observium.org/wiki/FAQ#When_submitting_large_forms_such_as_port_…) but I didn't find that error in my PHP error logs. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you. PS. Sorry if this was brought up before, I also checked via Google, but it didn't show any relevant results.

New install of Observium; fails to add device
by Michael Sweikata 27 Mar '13

27 Mar '13

Hey Everyone; I'm trying out a brand new install of Observium, I really like the product and would love to set it up in my production environment. I have followed the installation guide for Red Hat 6 x64 on a virtual machine, however, when I attempt to add a router (Cisco 6509 using Advanced IP Services 12.2(33)), it fails to add: ./addhost.php routerDNSName observium Trying community observium ... No reply on community observium using v2c Could not reach routerDNSName with given SNMP community using v2c Trying v3 parameters observium/noAuthNoPriv ... No reply on credentials observium/noAuthNoPriv using v3 Could not reach routerDNSName with given SNMP community using v3 Trying community observium ... No reply on community observium using v1 Could not reach routerDNSName with given SNMP community using v1 Trying community observium ... No reply on community observium using v2c Could not reach routerDNSName with given SNMP community using v2c Trying v3 parameters observium/noAuthNoPriv ... No reply on credentials observium/noAuthNoPriv using v3 Could not reach routerDNSName with given SNMP community using v3 Trying community observium ... No reply on community observium using v1 Could not reach routerDNSName with given SNMP community using v1 On the 6509, I have input the commands listed on the wiki: routerName#sh run | i snmp snmp-server community observium RO SNMPv4 snmp-server ifindex persist snmp-server location routerLocation snmp-server contact Michael Sweikata snmp ifmib ifindex persist routerName#sh ip access-list SNMPv4 Standard IP access list SNMPv4 10 permit 10.2.48.130 log The DNS name does resolve correctly, and there are no firewalls or access-restrictions on those two devices talking. I've not worked with SNMP much before, but I can say that this device did run SNMP correctly, as Ciscoworks is able to detect issues, and it is listening on UDP/161. Any help for troubleshooting this would be appreciated.

Hi there, I've configured the traffic billing for my observium and configured the bill to bill a port. But the statistics shows 0mbps used. I've configured it to monitor the 95th percentile. can I please get some help in this? I need to monitor how much I will have to pay my upstream for every month. Thank you.

Hi Tom, A few Comware-based HP switches have been detected as ProCurve recently as well. I think it's due to bone-headed changes by HP in the sysDescr string they're returning (because, contrary to your commit message, everything HP Networking must be ProCurve-branded :-). If i grab some snmpwalk results, do you need any particular flags, or is just the content of the string enough? Regards, Paul

Mariadb is a drop-in replacement for mysql. No special support is required. Adam. Bart Teunis <bteunis(a)a2b-internet.com> wrote: >_______________________________________________ >observium mailing list >observium(a)observium.org >http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium

Observium and MariaDB support
by Bart Teunis 27 Mar '13

27 Mar '13

Hello, It seems that more and more Linux Distros are stepping out on MySQL and replace MySQL with MariaDB. The reason for this is that they dont have a good feeling about the plans that Oracle has with MySQL .. So my question is, is there a roadmap for observium regarding a migration towards MariaDB?
