Best practice ad method of full observium backup?
by Henrik Cednert (Filmlance) 05 Apr '19

05 Apr '19

Hello What’s the best practice when it comes to backup of observium? Are there any built in mechanisms or scripts for it? I did a quick search but only found a few very old post about it so I want to make sure nothing have changed. Cheers and thanks. -- Henrik Cednert / + 46 704 71 89 54 / CTO / Filmlance Disclaimer, the hideous bs disclaimer at the bottom is forced, sorry. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Disclaimer The information contained in this communication from the sender is confidential.

Detected Entity Types - How to Find
by Adam Ward 04 Apr '19

04 Apr '19

Team, The most difficult part of alert checker creation is finding all the detected entity types to alert for. I noticed for Linux, there’s a special entity type for average CPU, but I cannot figure out how to see what’s available? I see this on the entity page, but how do I know what that entity is named? Special Situations¶<https://docs.observium.org/entities/#special-situations_1> On UNIX/Linux systems we generate a special "Average" processor entity by calculating the average cpu load for all processors. Use this for alerting on UNIX/Linux.

Hi. Is anyone else using Juniper devices missing the temperature measurement for FRUs? I'm not discovering temperature for CPUs, PSUs, etc. I've noticed some code being remove from r9663 and that might be it. Was it moved elsewhere and is not working properly? Luis

Hello There, There is a way that we can link the Billing Module with the Alert Checker? It will be useful if we can send notifications when the customers hits the quote.

IPMI Errors?
by Adam Ward 03 Apr '19

03 Apr '19

Hey Observium Team, I am not sure if IPMI on standard SuperMicro mainboards can be scraped for ECC errors and other SEL-type errors? Am I going to have to ship syslog data somewhere and act on it? We just had a DIMM throwing correctable errors but that doesn’t really show up anywhere in IPMI/SNMP as far as I can see, even after checking the SM MIBs. How do others accomplish similar monitoring?

Apache Vulnerability
by Adam Armstrong 02 Apr '19

02 Apr '19

Seems a lot of people will need to upgrade Apache today. "In Apache HTTP Server 2.4 releases 2.4.17 to 2.4.38, with MPM event, worker or prefork, code executing in less-privileged child processes or threads (including scripts executed by an in-process scripting interpreter) could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the parent process (usually root) by manipulating the scoreboard. Non-Unix systems are not affected." https://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_24.html#CVE-2019-0211 adam.

Low dbm sensor alerts for shutdown interfaces
by Andrew Lemin 31 Mar '19

31 Mar '19

Hi, Has anyone else seen the issue where after enabling an alert checker for transceiver optics with sensor_value greater @sensor_limit and sensor_value less @sensor_limit_low, alerts are still received for shutdown interfaces? For example, on a cisco switch when running ‘show interfaces transceiver detail’, we can see; Optical High Alarm High Warn Low Warn Low Alarm Receive Power Threshold Threshold Threshold Threshold Port (dBm) (dBm) (dBm) (dBm) (dBm) Te1/1/25 -40.0 1.9 -1.0 -9.9 -13.9 Te2/1/1 -40.0 1.9 -1.0 -9.9 -13.9 Etc.. Te1/1/25 admin down down Te2/1/1 admin down down Etc The sensors page shows the correct thresholds etc, but shows the interface in Red (and hence is generating alerts through the checker), rather than grey (as the port is shutdown and has no fibre connected – hence -40dbm.). [cid:image001.png@01D4E0C6.4F698990] The same port on the Ports page does show the interface as being grey/shutdown [cid:image002.png@01D4E0C6.4F698990] Have no idea how to resolve this and stop getting transceiver alerts for shutdown interfaces? This sounds like a potential bug? Thanks, Andy.

Windows Agent?
by Hamilton, Kent 29 Mar '19

29 Mar '19

I'm curious how hard it will be to add a windows agent like the existing Linux agent. I have written a PowerShell listener that responds on 36602 with the output from whatever scripts are in a specific directory with the data formatted in the expected format for Observium. Currently I have scripts that return the installed packages, ioping, vmwaretools, and working on a few others (IIS, MSSQL, Exchange). I have yet to started looking at the Observium side of things other than glancing at includes/polling/unix_agent.inc.php and a few of the scripts in includes/polling/unix_agent/*. Any help out there for this? ________________________________ This e-mail and any documents accompanying it may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information belonging to Exegy, Inc.
