Install script for agent to run without /opt/observium
by Pieter De Wit 30 Sep '18

30 Sep '18

Hey Guys, Would it be possible to add the option do an agent only install to the install script? One that doesn't need /opt/observium and installs all the nice /usr/bin/distro etc utils :) The current script bails on : cp: cannot stat '/opt/observium/scripts/observium_agent_xinetd': No such file or directory Thanks !

How I did it (?)
by Luca Sasdelli 29 Sep '18

29 Sep '18

Hi all, I've got some multi-WAN firewall checks from outside, and although Observium refuses an already existing SNMP SysName by adding a secondary WAN link, I've got one that has three WANs on the same firewall, without claiming anything. Does it exist a way to add an already existing SysName device, with a different name (and IP)? Thanks! Luca

Alerting on customer OID
by John Morris 28 Sep '18

28 Sep '18

Hello all Im after some help, I have created custom oid, and these are working and displaying info. I am trying to get the alerts to check the status of the oid. Ive added a custom oid checker Under association, I am selecting device, and the ip of the device. It then shows all the custom oid for the device. I have then tried by adding AND Custom OID numberical oid equals (The oid) [cid:image001.png@01D45723.A78685B0] But then it doesn’t list the custom oid, and shows no associations. Basically it is checking an SBC and if the status is 2, then its active, and if it shows 3 it is in standby. I want to create an alert that if the value changes from 2 to 3 it sends an alert. What am I doing wrong? Many Thanks John Morris Cloud Specialist

Customize Graphs on Observium
by Kaustubh Parthasarthy, CLSA 27 Sep '18

27 Sep '18

Hi Team, We were trying to do some customizations on the graphs that generate from Observium. We did find that the graph.php and graph-realtime.php are the 2 scripts which get referenced for plotting graphs. We need to know, how these 2 graphs are being referenced ?

How to set customOID to use 1024 instead of 1000
by Simon Mousey Smith 27 Sep '18

27 Sep '18

Hi All Im trying to find out if its possible to change the conversion rate being used in the CustomOID ? When I SNMPGET a value from our storage system its returning a value and observium is then doing the conversion wrong… This is the reply I received from there support team after hours of me trying to work out why observium was showing 416.5GB and they was showing 387.9GB The command you are using shows result in bytes. At the same time "vstorage stat" command shows result in Gibibites not Gigabytes. Just for reference: 1 Gibibyte = 230 Byte = 1,073,741,824 Byte 1 Gigabyte = 109 Byte = 1,000,000,000 Byte #snmpget -v2c -cpublic 10.10.10.254 .1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.161.1.1.3.0 NET-SNMP-MIB::netSnmp.161.1.1.3.0 = Counter64: 416509057132 Here are output from your cluster: vstorage -c hestor stat | head -n 10 connected to MDS#11 Cluster 'hestor': healthy Space: [OK] allocatable 636.0GB (+2.28TB unlicensed) of 3.74TB, free 636.0GB of 1TB MDS nodes: 7 of 7, epoch uptime: 2d 22h, cluster version: 126 CS nodes: 7 of 7 (7 avail, 0 inactive, 0 offline), storage version: 126 License: [Error] License not loaded, capacity limited to 1024Gb Replication: 1 norm, 1 limit Chunks: [OK] 1767 (100%) healthy, 0 (0%) standby, 0 (0%) degraded, 0 (0%) urgent, 0 (0%) blocked, 0 (0%) pending, 0 (0%) offline, 0 (0%) replicating, 0 (0%) overcommitted, 0 (0%) deleting, 0 (0%) void FS: 387.9GB in 541 files, 541 inodes, 235 file maps, 1767 chunks, 3621 chunk replicas 416509057132/(1024*3) = 387.9 GB which is exactly the same as in "stats" Just for reference: 1 Gibibyte = 230 Byte = 1,073,741,824 Byte 1 Gigabyte = 109 Byte = 1,000,000,000 Byte Regards Simon

Issues Updating SVN
by Bill Brigden 27 Sep '18

27 Sep '18

Hi, Does anyone else have issues updating? Svn up is giving a domain error - taking a look the hostname svn.observium.org doesn't appear to resolve. Using a basic tool to view the DNS: https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=dns%3aobservium.org&run=toolpage it suggests a number of issues with the glue as well. Cheers,
