HDD SMART Monitoring
by Daniel Wandrei 23 Dec '15

23 Dec '15

I have a few Linux Server running Debian which I want to monitor with Observium. Most important HDD SMART data. Ive already smartd running but like to have all data in one place (Observium). Ive have found no way to collect the SMART values, either with SNMP nor with the Unix Agent. Is there any way not documented or which I may have overseen? Regards Daniel

Support for Sophos UTM routers
by Kieron Goucher 23 Dec '15

23 Dec '15

Hi I've recently started using observium and I'm interested to know if observium can recognise Sophos UTM routers. I have 3 of these devices and they are detected as Linux servers in my observium. The Sophos UTM provide MIB download from the device itself. Thanks Kieron Sent from Outlook Mobile<https://aka.ms/qtex0l> Kieron Goucher IT Manager Murphy Surveys Ltd.

Graphing Voice Calls
by Matthias Cramer 23 Dec '15

23 Dec '15

Hi Observium Team I like to fetch and graph the voice call count of a SIP Voice Gateway in the form of calls per minute. Is there already something similar available or do I have to start from scratch and define graphs and such? Is there a conceptual way of doing that?

Alerts options
by Andrea 23 Dec '15

23 Dec '15

Hi, I'm interested in the professional edition to activate alerts, but I didn't understand exactly what it's possible to configure. I have 2 questions about them: 1) Is it possible to configure checks only every 5 minutes, or is there some way to configure some devices to be polled for example every 30 seconds only for some specific check? 2) Is it possible to monitor and set alerts only about snmp checks, or is there some way to configure monitor and alerts about tcp/udp query? For example to check if http/smtp/pop3/imap ports are working? Thanks! Andrea

SNMP Query AIX Host
by FalkE 23 Dec '15

23 Dec '15

Hello everybody, I'm exploring Observium for a few days now and I really like it! I've added some Linux hosts using SNMP and it works like a charm. However, in conjuntion with IBM AIX, I got some problems: Using SNMP, I only get very basic information about OS level and network interfaces. There is no data about cpu, memory and storage usage. I'm using SNMPv1 for now. Could this be the problem? Is some data only available for v2c and v3? If so, can someone give me a sample configuration for SNMPv2c or SNMPv3 on AIX? Kind regards, Manuel

Unix Agent and Raspberry Pi
by gt＠gt1.net 22 Dec '15

22 Dec '15

Hello, I set up Observium to monitor a RPi device with Unix Agent and RPi script. I see the hardware sensors from RPi on the Observium interface, however all of them show zero values. When running /usr/bin/observium-agent on the RPi, all sensor data is displayed in the dump, but when I try telnet RPi 36602 from the server, the sensor data in the dump shows 0s. What could be the issue? Gennadiy.

How to shush alarms for sensors that lie...
by Robert Williams 21 Dec '15

21 Dec '15

Hi, The recent changes to the homepage layout have placed more attention on the summary statistics (alerted ports, alerted sensors etc.) which previously were not as visible. A positive side-effect of this has been the setting of more 'appropriate' manual thresholds for many of the less important sensors, to tidy them up. It has revealed one issue though, which I'm not sure how to work around. Take the following example: As you can see, the (unrealistic) dBm being reported by the Cisco chassis is stuck in a 'warning' state, despite having alarms disabled, the threshold on manual and thresholds set well clear of the 8.1dBm which it is reporting. (This port actually has a copper-converter in it, hence, the dBm is just rubbish spat out by an adapter which doesn't understand copper) So despite my best efforts to silence this warning, it still persists as a 'down' sensor, on the summary page showing up in red. (Not ignored, but actually down). We have quite a few of these adapters as well as a large number of voltage sensors (again, courtesy Cisco entity SNMP crapness) which are being reported as zero volts. These are also set to 'ignore' but continue to show as 'down' on the new summary homepage, some examples below: So - Does anyone know how I can totally and completely ignore/hide the broken sensors like these?

Re: [Observium] Layout & Style Changes

Hi Adam, I am all for a flat design, which is the modern thing today (apparently:)). Some thoughts from me. Background: Does not make the site look good. Sorry. Have a color as previously, or maybe something like the grid background from before (probably a year ago). Icons: Removal of icons, maybe mostly in the device page makes it hard to quickly identify what you are looking for. (reading is boring). Right panel: I see some use for this. But should also be able to disable. Device page: On some resolutions it seems to create three rows, which make the right side too cramped. Had some more thoughts earlier today, but too late now to remember all :D Are there any plans to move completely to bootstrap 3?

Hi All, this is a bit of a daft question, I actually deleted one of our bridges on our mikrotik switches, and had to recreate them, DOH! the observium, then discovered the new bridge, but deleted the old bridge (marked as deleted)? now i have no graphs with old data in them for the new bridge :( can i join the new bridge and old bridge ports together in observium so i can see the old graphs in the new bridge? regards Simon
