Hi all, Currently I have many custom applications graphs with Cacti and I really want to use Observium for this. Is there any procedure with a little example to graph from scratch? I will really appreciate. Regards, Andres

browsable archives and (sub)domains in hostnames
by Andreas Rüdel 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '13

Hi, Observium 1) I wonder: is there a searchable version of the mailing list archives somewhere? 2) I need some hint where I can change the behaviour of observium to cut avay domains after the first dot - we used subdomains to segment our hardware so now all devices are called the same on the overview screen. (alarms / events) Example: switch1.site1.country1 switch1.site2.country1 switch1.site1.country2 and so on.. (I know it's boring but we ran out of elven names at one point...) ;) on the overview page they would all be called "switch1" when I go to "devices" everything is just fine can this be changed somewhere? could not find in config.php and don't dare editing the other files thanks!

Observium Virtual Machines wrong OS Version
by observium＠velder.li 22 Mar '13

22 Mar '13

Hi there In the virtual machine overview (ESXi Host..), the os version is not correct. I added the VM to observium, when squeeze 6.0.6 was installed. Now it is 6.0.7 (since a few weeks) but observium still says 6.0.6. Is that a bug? Regards, Patrick

Observium Network Discovery
by Rizwan azher 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

Hi All, - How actually network discovery works for observium ? I mean do I have to just enable SNMP with same community and same Snmp version on all my devices so that observium can discover my whole networkor I jus have to add of single device name in config.apt and whole network will be autoatically discovered?..... and does observium also show me the whole map for my network ( connectivity b/w my devices)? and most important do i need to make any device as Seed device for my network ? from which it will automatically penetrate to whole network...Further more after discovering of my device can i filter those graphs so that I can only plot useful or main graphs - Can I also make groups to those graphs I mean is it possible that I can make a separate tab for my roters and the \n separate tab for switches etc. Thanks Rizwan

VMware ESXi hosts missing information
by Matt Hucker 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

Hi all, I'm using Observium r3791 to monitor a few VMware ESXi 5.1 hosts along with a mix of servers and network gear. All seems to be running well, except for the ESX hosts. When Observium polls the ESX hosts it seems to be missing a lot of information due to missing MIBs: My /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf has the mibdirs line as per the installation instructions. mibdirs /opt/observium/mibs It seems if I copy all of the mibs from the /opt/observium/mibs directory to /usr/share/mibs, then the poller seems to run OK. No more missing module errors. Is this expected behaviour? Partial debug poller output below: Observium Poller v0.13.3.3784 DEBUG! Starting polling run: SQL[SELECT `device_id` FROM `devices` WHERE `disabled` = 0 AND `hostname` LIKE 'esx01%' ORDER BY `device_id` ASC] SQL[SELECT * FROM `devices` WHERE `device_id` = '11'] SQL[SELECT * FROM devices_attribs WHERE `device_id` = '11'] esx01.prod.nrhosted.com 11 vmware DEBUG: SNMP Auth options = -v2c -c esx01 /usr/bin/snmpget -v2c -c esx01 -Oqv -m SNMPv2-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs udp:esx01.prod.nrhosted.com:161 sysObjectID.0 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.6876.4.1 RRD[update /opt/observium/rrd/esx01.prod.nrhosted.com/status.rrd N:1] OK u:0.01 s:0.00 r:0.07 RRD[update /opt/observium/rrd/esx01.prod.nrhosted.com/ping.rrd N:1.08] OK u:0.02 s:0.00 r:0.07 RRD[update /opt/observium/rrd/esx01.prod.nrhosted.com/ping_snmp.rrd N:46.31] DEBUG: SNMP Auth options = -v2c -c esx01 /usr/bin/snmpget -v2c -c esx01 -OQUs -m +VMWARE-ROOT-MIB:VMWARE-SYSTEM-MIB -M +/opt/observium/mibs/vmware udp:esx01.prod.nrhosted.com:161 VMWARE-SYSTEM-MIB::vmwProdName.0 VMWARE-SYSTEM-MIB::vmwProdVersion.0 VMWARE-SYSTEM-MIB::vmwProdBuild.0 MIB search path: /root/.snmp/mibs:/usr/share/mibs/site:/usr/share/snmp/mibs:/usr/share/mibs/iana:/usr/share/mibs/ietf:/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp:/opt/observium/mibs/vmware The first call to snmpget has the correct MIB path (/opt/observium/mibs), but the 2nd call to snmpget seems to only include the /opt/observium/mibs/vmware (leaving out /opt/observium/mibs) Consequently I get a lot of errors such as these: Cannot find module (SNMPv2-TC): At line 10 in /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-DLMOD-MIB Cannot find module (SNMPv2-SMI): At line 34 in /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-SNMP-MIB Cannot find module (SNMPv2-TC): At line 37 in /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-SNMP-MIB Did not find 'enterprises' in module #-1 (/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-SNMP-MIB) Did not find 'DisplayString' in module #-1 (/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-SNMP-MIB) Did not find 'TruthValue' in module #-1 (/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-SNMP-MIB) -- Cheers, Matt.

Observium r3779

Hello, Quick question about the new interface. All 'toolbars' now seem to have an arrow. When I hover over them, should that normally open a list?
