Hi Adam, I found the wiki page to make perfect sense after looking at some examples. I just visited the pages and since the wiki migration - your examples did not pull through - they used to be right at the bottom of the alert creation page? http://www.observium.org/docs/alert_checker/ Alert Checker Exmaples is blank?

Ok I think i follow you.. But isn't it a little redudant to have Entity? I mean with the alert im trying to make im looking at specifik storage usages. Wouldn't it go without saying the entity im looking at is the disks? my condition is storage_perc and so i don't see the point in also specifying harddisk in the association entity? I have made my alert this way now.. is this correct? will it work? Check condition: storage_perc gt 90 Associations device match: * Associations Entity match: * [cid:2f142fd126995f0abe51494e79dd177a1fdf9d8e@zimbra] ________________________________ Fra: "Adam Armstrong" <adama(a)memetic.org<mailto:adama@memetic.org>> Til: observium(a)observium.org<mailto:observium@observium.org> Sendt: onsdag, 26. august 2015 18:51:19 Emne: Re: [Observium] help creating alerts Hi, The entity match is the same as the device match, but for the entity (port, memory pool, etc), rather than the device. If you want to match all devices, you put * in the device box. If you want to match all ports for a port entity type alert, you put * in the entity box. If you want to only match ethernet ports on a port alert, you put "ifType eq ethernetCsmacd" in the entity box. adam.

Empty Chart
by Michael Ponto 26 Aug '15

26 Aug '15

I know I missed something but not sure what. Just did a fresh install of Observium on Ubuntu 14 LS and everything except the charts are working. All devices are reporting processor info, temp, errors, ect. It is just that the charts are empty. Anyone have any suggestions as to where to start looking?

Hello, I'm sure this is quite simple, but how do I send the alerts listed in the eventlog straight to email as they are listed. https://<observium-server>/eventlog/ So as they come through, they are send immediately to an email address. Thanks ! Ross.

alternative to svn update
by Samarasinghe, Sujith 24 Aug '15

24 Aug '15

Hi , I was trying to update to latest version but our firewall does not allow svn as protocol. I downloaded the latest stable version using wget instead and tried to locate new folder under /opt/. I got permission denied error on /discovery.php -u Is there a better way to upgrade than this risky method if SVN is not an option? Thanks, Sujith.

"Monitoring" Linux Softraid State?

Hy *, I just noticed that observium_agent returns a <<<md>>> section: 1.) Question: is there actual a way of monitoring the state of linux softraid devices in Observium, I just do not know? Documentation / google is quite silent about this question. :-) 2.) If no, how can this be implemented? Idea #1: Introduce a “(red|yellow) Alarm” state even for Unix devices, as most common network devices have. So this technique can be also used for different kinds of alarms (Raid, Network, ECC, …) a. Yellow Alarm: Raid degraded b. Red Alarm: Raid broken :-) Idea #2: Is this something, which can be implemented “outside Observium” (e.g. by some “geniuos” snmpd-configuration lines in snmpd.conf) and Observium just uses the normal “(yellow|red) Alarm” way, which is already implemented?

Ability to Zoom on Graphs?

Hello Observium team, I would like to know how much effort would it be to add the ability to drag a timeline across a graph which will then automatically adjust the date/time range to that section of the graph? Regards, Rudolf
