Re: [Observium] alert repeat?

I found an option to do ignore until ok on the interface settings. But it is really unrealistic to do this manually for hundreds of ports. Any easier way to achieve this? I do want to monitor ports status, but I don¹t want to get a flood of alerts every 24 hours. Thanks a lot.

95th percentile and billing module - possible discrepancies
by colin.barker＠bluesky.co.uk 23 Oct '14

23 Oct '14

Hi I thought I would post here first, just in case what I am seeing isn't a bug, and just me just mis-understanding the calculations. Just a quick setup - we currently are billed on a 95th percentile from an ISP, which we have two physical ethernet connections plugged into two different HP ProCurve switches. I have created a Bill under Traffic Accounting, and set the billing type as 95th @ 50 Mbps, and added both the ports for our connections so I am able to see both under "Bill Ports". This has been running for about 6 - 7 months now, calculating away. While going back through our reports, I noticed that in September we had an overage marked in Observium as 11.4Mbps (Actual usage 61.4Mbps). However the bill we got from the ISP gave us an overage of 30.38Mbps (Actual usage 80.38Mbps). So I went to look deeper and got the break downs I needed. Our ISP gave us the following for the highest 95th: Link1: 50.375Mbps Link2: 30.005Mbps Total: 80.38Mbps I then looked on Observium for the graphs for the two ports, and they reported the following for the highest 95th: Link1: 49.64Mbps Link2: 30.44Mbps Total: 80.08Mbps I can accept that two different systems there may be a very small discrepancy with the larger numbers - which is fine, however -- the problem arrives when the billing calculations comes in, and shows the values as above (11.4Mbps over, 61.4Mbps usage). I have uploaded the two port graphs and a screen grab from the billing page to show in more detail the above numbers here: http://imgur.com/a/iErfo I just want to check I have not missed something that is staring me in the face in regards to the calculations, and if I am, please let me know! Thanks in advance. Regards Colin Barker

alert repeat?
by Zhenhui Liang 23 Oct '14

23 Oct '14

Hi, We have some switches with thousands of ports. I know, we don’t have administrative down for unused ports. So I set up port down alerts for all ports, so that the initial alert of the down ports, I just ignore so I know those are ports already down. So the theory is that for any following alerts, I will look into them. But I found out observium will send out the massive port down alerts exactly in 24 hours frequency. How do I disable the persistent alerting? I want observium only alert me once for an event period. Thanks a lot. —Zhenhui

Overriding location codes
by Robbie Wright 22 Oct '14

22 Oct '14

We've got custom locations defined in config.php so all of our devices use a 3 or 4 digit location code for snmp, Observium reads the location code, checks config.php and sets the full address. We have some devices that do not have location in snmp so we set it manually by overriding it in the device settings. However, overriding sysLocation and providing a custom location does not compare that location to what is setup in the config.php. So can a custom location setting check config.php for the value?

polling issues with 5897
by Rutger Bevaart 22 Oct '14

22 Oct '14

Hi, Updated to the latest svn version yesterday, after which I immediately had issues with the poller. Updated from a release about two weeks older. Now I get up/down for different devices, sometimes complete BGP neighbours down on others. Device down alerts on snmp, etc. I increased the number of poller processes in the crontab and increased snap timeout values etc. However, I still have graphs with large parts missing because of this. Checked poller times, kept an eye on the processes running and logs. Some devices take 120s to poll completely, but all polling is done in about 2 minutes. Still I get these errors, other than the upgrade no changes have been made to firewalls, policies, etc. Any clues? Do I need to upgrade php? Regards, Rutger

Polling takes a similar amount of time on both versions. Will let it run for a night and upgrade a single version tomorrow to see if the issue reappears. Regards, Rutger

memory graph / draw error
by Massimo Sala 21 Oct '14

21 Oct '14

Hi I just installed Observium on Debian 7.6 : Observium CE 0.14.4.5229 Apache nginx/1.2.1 PHP 5.4.4-14+deb7u14 MySQL 5.5.40-MariaDB-1~wheezy-log SNMP NET-SNMP version: 5.4.3 RRDtool 1.4.7 I have added 80 routers ( Cisco / Juniper / HP ) and most of them display fine. On some devices, the memory graph show "draw error". How can I troubleshoot this ? Best regards, Sala
