Observium doesn't show interfaces within VPRN on Nokia routers
by Tao Zhang 21 Aug '24

21 Aug '24

Hi Observium team, We are using Observium as a main tool to monitor our router interfaces and collect SNMP stats. We recently replaced our Juniper routers with Nokia SR 7750. We noticed that Observium doesn't work very well with Nokia routers. Observium can only show the interfaces in the master instance, not the interfaces within VPRN or VPLS instances (Nokia call those interfaces SAPs). To be able to see interfaces within VPLS or VPRN, we need to enable two other MIBs, TIMETRA-SAP-MIB and TIMETRA-VRTR-MIB. We are not sure how to enable those two MIBs. Do we need to add them manually? This is the MIBs enabled on the Nokia router (default). [cid:ece89bfc-3ae2-4dcd-9c7c-641c3978f803] Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tao

Re: How to add a device which only responds to ping/icmp?
by Croene Jan (PZ Antwerpen) 21 Aug '24

21 Aug '24

Dear, We bought the license to monitor devices via ping-check (with the probe functionality). "Observium is designed to collect and display data from SNMP-capable devices, but not every device supports SNMP. In order to monitor non-SNMP capable devices, the probes system can be used to perform checks on non-SNMP devices". I am just wondering how we can add a device in observium that cannot handle snmp? ________________________________ Als u niet de beoogde ontvanger van deze email bent, lees onze disclaimer<https://www.politie.be/nl/maildisclaimer>.

Observium stops displaying stats for all monitored hosts for a period of time
by Kevin Riahi 21 Aug '24

21 Aug '24

Hello Team, It seems Observium stops displaying stats for all (most) monitored hosts for a period of time and then back to normal.!!! I've attached a few screenshots. Has this behavior been documented in the past? If not what is the best way to debug this. Observium ver 24.8.13606 Running on a dedicated server. 12 Core Xeon Proc 64 GB RAM Raided SSD drives. Thank you Kevin Riahi

Bandwidth alerts based on value in "Device Port Parsed Speed"
by Brad Bendy 14 Aug '24

14 Aug '24

Hi, Checked around and can't figure out a way to do this and don't see anything in mailing list about it. Is there a way to build alerts based on the bandwidth value we are setting this way? For example we have a description of "[600Mbit]" and then want to alert on 80% of this value for example. I don't see a way to do this as the test conditions are all the parameters from SNMP. Obviously can make up a checker and do the math manually and what not but would not auto adjust and I need 100+ of these created. Would anyone else find this helpful? Thanks

Missing some nice stats from Cisco 9800 that I got from Cisco 5520
by andri＠harpa.is 12 Aug '24

12 Aug '24

Hi Our organization recently upgraded from Cisco 5520 WLC to Cisco 9800 WLC. In observium I get really good statistics about wireless client count and wireless ap count on the 5520 but not on the 9800. I am not sure if this is something on observium side or cisco side. But I wanted to ask if anyone has the same issue and if they found a solution. Or maybe this is just something that needs to be added. Please let me know if there is any further information I can submit. Best regards Andri

Bug report: Broken scaling on some SFP receive power graphs
by Corwin Ziegler Hunts 09 Aug '24

09 Aug '24

Hi Observium team, We're having issues with some of the generated graphs. Some of our devices report the light level received by SFPs using mW (rather than dBm). We are on the latest stable revision (13582). Issue 1: The graphs generated by Observium for these sensors usually show an excessive scale of at least -100 mW to 100 mW when the data in the specified time interval are entirely within the range 100 nW to 1 mW and usually only a small chunk of that. The calculated minimum and maximum values shown below the graph are correct. These graphs worked properly in the past with a prior version of Observium. Issue 2: Selecting and deselecting the Force Autoscale option appears to have no effect on the generated graph or displayed rrd graph command. Manually running the generated rrd graph command after removing the "--alt-autoscale" option results in a good graph. Here is the raw SNMP output for one of the these sensors showing a current value of 0.5560mW: ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB::entPhySensorType.1000004631 = INTEGER: watts(6) ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB::entPhySensorScale.1000004631 = INTEGER: milli(8) ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB::entPhySensorPrecision.1000004631 = INTEGER: 4 ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB::entPhySensorValue.1000004631 = INTEGER: 5560 ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB::entPhySensorOperStatus.1000004631 = INTEGER: ok(1) Corwin

Switch overview: configurable interface sorting?
by Wiethoff, Helge 06 Aug '24

06 Aug '24

Hello everyone, The port sorting in the device overview has been changed at some point. Previously, it was sorted alphanumerically, but now the numbers are prioritized. Before, the order was A1, A2, A3..., B1, B2, B3, etc. And now it is A1, B1, A2, B2..., A3, B3, etc. Is there a way to change the sorting back to the old method using a configuration switch? Thank you and best regards Helge

Percent CPU
by Arnoldo Vidal Bravo 05 Aug '24

05 Aug '24

Hi, cuestion. we have about 600+ devices (switchs, wireless, router), we want know CPU usage on each one . On many devices we see 93% CPU usage. but login into device we can see only 1 measure and shows less than 7% on slot 0.0. While on observium we have 3 measures: processor, processor 1 and slot 0.0. please helpus to get the right measure. example [image: image.png] [image: image.png] [image: image.png] on centos 7 from CLI [image: image.png] -- Saluda cordialmente
