Enabling MIB and custom values support
by Marian Rychtecky 07 Sep '20

07 Sep '20

Hi all, I do have two questions with different topics, but I didn't want to send multiple emails. Hope you don't mind. First question is probably very simple, however I cannot find out - I need to collect information from Cisco devices using " CISCO-NETWORK-VIRTUALIZATION-OVERLAY-MIB". This MIB is part of Observium. How I will "activate" collecting these MIB values from a device please? I do have almost all modules active and I don't know how to add MIB to a certain device (not all devices, just 3 of them). Second question - as more and more devices (such as Arista) are giving up on SNMP turning slowly to REST APIs or similar methods, is there any way to push information to Observium using its own (python/php) script? I would imagine any kind of value mapping to graphs and then collecting values from scripts or JSON file.... Thank you for your time and support.

Connect to device icon?
by Chris Macneill 05 Sep '20

05 Sep '20

Hi, I was sure at one point there was a "Connect to device/terminal" icon in Observium, but either I'm mistaken and it was never there or now so buried I can no longer find it. Whilst hostnames and/or IP addresses are shown in Observium, they generally have active links attached to them to take you to other screens in Observium, this makes it hard to copy these into a Browser to gain access to the device's GUI. It would be nice to have a "Connect to device" icon next to the IP/Hostname that will make it much easier to click through to the device's own GUI. We recently started using Ubiquiti's UNMS monitoring system which is good for Ubiquiti devices, but pretty lousy for anything else. UNMS has a "Copy to clipboard" icon next to each IP address making it really easy to then connect to the device's GUI. I like the "Copy to clipboard" method rather than a URL link, as this is generic and you can then copy and paste into a browser or any other application. Regards Chris Macneill

Again Reset GEO location

Hello, Is it possible to reset the GEO location via cli ??? I have such a case, GEO displays 2dev, it's actually 30, the address is the same (same location), geo reset helps but for 30 devices it's tiring. [cid:image001.png@01D6829D.8F80D630] Regards Jacek Dąbrowski

by mosdvas 02 Sep '20

02 Sep '20

Does this version add more powerful mibs on hardware or add some fonctionnality on WMI polling ? Like for example : - BGP & Peering session on Mikrotiks (CCRXXX) - spooler tracking on Zebra printers - Windows's wmi poller able to list services and their states Best Regards,

Alert Check - Monitoring Cisco Stack Redundancy
by Mezzadri, Steven 01 Sep '20

01 Sep '20

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me write a better alert checker to determine if a Cisco stack has a missing member. Occasionally, one member of a stack will fail, but the stack continues to operate so it's not in a "down" state. I would like to get a notification when that happens. I am currently monitoring all stack ports, but any unused stack ports show "down" as well, so I'm looking for a better solution. [image: image.png] I would like to use another status indicator such as "stack is redundant" or "stacking state": [image: image.png] Perhaps cswRingRedundant ? [image: image.png] Could anyone assist me with how to construct an alert check to accomplish this? Thanks! -- Steven Mezzadri Network Engineer

observium docker/Kubernetes install
by Simon Mousey Smith 27 Aug '20

27 Aug '20

Hi all I wondered if anybody has setup observium inside a docker container or even inside a Kubernetes cluster? If they have: are they running it fine? How does it preform? what’s the usage like? Only reason I’m asking if I’m looking sadly to move all our VMs (50) into smaller containers (10) and running Kubernetes as most things can be done by containers I’m just yet to find anyone with an observium container? Regards Simon Sent from my iPhone
