Network mounts
by Franks Andy (IT Technical Architecture Manager) 20 Jan '16

20 Jan '16

Hi all, If I change ignore_mount_network=>0, should it show up cifsd based shares? I have a host reporting some back, but nothing in observium. I can't pick up windows mount points, and wondered if I could map read only via cifsd in order just to report the space free and alert. Professional version if it makes any difference. Thanks Andy.

Postfix configuration for alerts
by Matt Zillmann 19 Jan '16

19 Jan '16

Hello everyone, I am trying to set up email alerting for Observium. I have hit a roadblock. I am not sure what I need to configure on postfix in order to send only outbound email alerts to our internal exchange server IT email recipients. Does anyone have documentation or an idea on how to do this? Thank you in advance!

I*m interested in the same. From what the boys said at IRC this is not possible with Observium. Sadly. =( But if someone finds a way, please let me know. =) Also interested in FTP-tests for test of actual upload/download to see if Ftp is up. =) Cheers -- Henrik Cednert cto | td | compositor Filmlance International Direct + 46 (0)704 71 89 54 From: observium <observium-bounces(a)observium.org<mailto:observium-bounces@observium.org>> on behalf of Matt Zillmann <mzillmann(a)testoil.com<mailto:mzillmann@testoil.com>> Reply-To: Observium Network Observation System <observium(a)observium.org<mailto:observium@observium.org>> Date: Tuesday 19 January 2016 at 14:53 To: Observium Network Observation System <observium(a)observium.org<mailto:observium@observium.org>> Subject: [Observium] Website Alerting Hello everyone, I am investigating whether monitoring/alerting a website’s status is possible with Observium.

Enable autodiscovery via VMware
by Tibor Marchyn 19 Jan '16

19 Jan '16

Hi all, Not sure if it was asked before, but in current version of Observium 0.16.1.7504 in global settings is option called "Enable autodiscovery via Vmware". How does it works? As I very like observium, documentation looks as totally out of date and not usable. Thanks Tibor
