Creating check on sensors which only have measured up state
by Previder Network 06 Mar '20

06 Mar '20

Hi Observium Community, Hopefully someone can help me here. I'm using Observium Professional Edition. I'm struggling creating a check on sensors of type dBm which only has measured up state. When i go to Health -> dBm i see al my ports power levels. I can filter there on sensor event "critical". Then i'm getting a nice overview of ports which are below threshold. But most of these ports are down. So many of them are false positives and i'm not interested in them. Then we have the option "Measured State". Over there i can select "Measured Up" and then i'm getting the exact list i want. So i would like to create a check based on this. But when creating a check and assigning associations i'm not able to match based on the "Measured UP" state. In the groups section i'm also having this limitation. Am i overlooking something or is this not possible of hopefully i need to do this another way. Many thanks! Kind Regards, Nick Derksen, Previder B.V

Disk space being full
by Gordon Cheng (gocheng) 05 Mar '20

05 Mar '20

Hi all, Disk space is full on our Observium and we lost the GUI access (only CLI). I’m trying to use “housekeeping.php -a” to clean up the space, and use “delete_device.php” to delete a few offending devices using up lots of space. But it didn’t help much yet. For example, even if I tried to delete a device “phx-nx5596-04”: sjc-observium-1:/opt/observium# ./delete_device.php phx-nx5596-04 Observium 19.5.9872 Remove Device CACHE CLEAR SET.

Dashboard Graph Start Date Weird
by Brian Weeks 05 Mar '20

05 Mar '20

I have a weird problem with graphs that are on the dashboard show correct data but if I click on one the date start is 1969-12-30 but if I choose the device from the device menus and go to the same graph the start date is correct for 24 hours. I have check the date and time on the server and it is also correct I recreated the dashboard graphs from scratch and it still does it. I apologize if this has been asked before but I could not find an answer. -- Brian Weeks Network Engineer Brenham ISD CCNA, MCSE, ACMT, A+, Network+, Security+ 1301 Niebuhr St. Brenham, TX 7783 Office: (979) 277-3760 ext. 2249 Email: bweeks(a)brenhamk-12.net Website: http://www.brenhamisd.net --

Sensors missing of Dell Equallogic arrays
by Wouter de Man 03 Mar '20

03 Mar '20

Since the last stable upgrade (Professional edition), we have lost all the sensors (and the harddisk status) of our Dell Equallogic PS arrays (3 different types, different firmware levels). Any idea what happened? This worked fine on the previous stable release...

Datasource maximum not updating
by Milton Ngan 03 Mar '20

03 Mar '20

We discovered some RRD’s for LACP bundles had not updated the DS Max value after an upgrade. So this meant when we exceeded the previous DS Max value, we started getting “gaps” (NaN values) in the graph. I had to manually go in and “tune” the RRD to have a more appropriate DS Max value. Is this something that Observium is maintaining? If so, what would trigger this to happen? In the graph below the LACP Bundle was a 10G LAG, then upgraded to a 20G LAG. Now every time we got above 10G, we get gaps in the graph. [https://netmon.mgmt.valve.net/v/dashboard/port/5306762/bg2-sto2.nm.valve.ne…]

Unix agent alerting on Postfix mail queue size
by Attila Nagy 02 Mar '20

02 Mar '20

Hi Adam, Tom! We are currently facing the problem of having to alert on Postfix mail queue size coming from the Unix agent (thanks to "careful" users who let their e-mail passwords repeatedly stolen). As I've been trying to read about this in the archives, I see that this is a somewhat frequently upcoming but still unresolved topic. May I ask about the current status of this request?! Best regards, Attila

Supress Sensor Updated in Eventlog
by Klimek, Denis 02 Mar '20

02 Mar '20

Hi all, is there any method to supress the generation of "Sensor updated"-Eventlog entries if Observium is dynamicly changing the limit_low/high value? Our eventlog contains shitloads of entries for this kind of logs and they are not really useful from my opinion. So we would like to keep the sensors quiet. Currently we are running an external scripts triggered by cronjob to filter out those messages, but if we would supress the creation itself it would be much better Cheers, Denis Mit freundlichem Gruß Stadtwerke Norderstedt Denis Klimek Carrier Manager & Professional Network Engineer IP-Systemtechnik Tel: +49 (0) 40 / 521 04 - 1049 dklimek(a)stadtwerke-norderstedt.de<mailto:dklimek@stadtwerke-norderstedt.de> www.stadtwerke-norderstedt.de<http://www.stadtwerke-norderstedt.de/>
