changes to $config['frontpage']['custom_traffic']['ids'] ignored
by Eric W. Bates (he) 19 Oct '22

19 Oct '22

We replaced our edge routers over the weekend and I updated the list of port id's in $config['frontpage']['custom_traffic']['ids'] with the new ones from the new routers; however, the custom graph on the front page hasn't changed and still lists the old interfaces (on the now shut-down routers). What else do I need to do? Thanks. -- Clark 159a 508/289-3112

The observium team guided me to find an error when creating an alert. For the notifications sent by email to show the description or name in an interface, not port_label.... do we have to apply a template to the notifications? explain [image: image.png] -- Saluda cordialmente

Yes. The issue is the subinterfaces do not show up as Ethernet (ethernetCsmacd) Click on one of the subinterfaces, click the “Data” button on the right hand side, and see what the “ifType” is on this device, here’s an Arista for example: [cid:image001.png@01D8DFC3.B46B3050] Whatever that ifType is, add that as an “or” for ifType selection criteria. ________________________________ Spencer J.

Graph Gaps and Scaling questions
by Daniel Benson 11 Oct '22

11 Oct '22

list, I have been working all angles to scale my observium CE instance running well but seem to be failing. By failing I am referring to the classic gaps in graphs for all my devices. I am running on esxi with 16 cores @ 2.40GHz, 16G of ram, SSD SAS Raid and continue to have gaps. Most recently I have pushed sql to its own instance in hopes of working around potential IO issues but that didnt help. What I do see is that my ram use is very high, I am guessing from the discovery process twice a day. When my ram use is lower throughout the day, I have no gaps. I am monitoring 6000ports on 190 devices. Should I be using north of 16G of ram in my env? I am happy to add more but all my reading indicates that observium is not RAM intense. My last attempt will be to move the RRDs to a ram disk but my RRDs are almost 16G at this time which I am guessing is part of the problem. Maybe it is time to clean house. Any insight would be appreciated. db

APC UPS Monitoring
by Alex Rubenstein 11 Oct '22

11 Oct '22

One of the status indicators on APC UPS's is "Diagnostic Results." It is shown as: Diagnostics Results (last 2022-10-10) ok I am looking to set up an alert where if the last diag date is more than N days ago, alert me. But since the date is somehow wrapped into the status name, rather than the status result, I am not sure how to do this. Any pointers?
