I think it's a solid idea. With other systems i made it in the past. its very useful while you are building a new rack you know that all is up at the end or even during the install.

Cannot see ospf or bgp related graphs on Nexus 9000 and MX 480
by George Philip 19 Oct '15

19 Oct '15

Hi,I have installed Observium and have ospf and bgp related polling ,discovery parameters in the config.php file. However, I am unable to see the routing protocol related graph in the web page. Is there anything else that I need to do as I have these protocols running on the Nexus 9000 and MX480 router. Thanks,George

Juniper QFX 10G ports discovered as 4.29G
by Aaron Finney 18 Oct '15

18 Oct '15

Just FYI, the 10G ports on a QFX 5100 running latest JunOS are being reported with a speed of 4.29Gbps, which I assume is likely the actual returned value being constrained by a 32-bit container? Not a critical thing for us to fix - I was actually disabling polling for all of our Juniper vcp stacks in Observium (most of them take > 300s to complete a polling cycle) but noticed this as I was going through them and figured I'd pass it along. Cheers, Aaron

Re: [Observium] Tripplite PDUMNH20 (power strips)
by Ralph Pursifull 17 Oct '15

Great progress. Data now appears in RRD, just it’s off by 10 X. Plots show 1.1, correct answer is 11.0 Amps. When I look at the device with iReasoning MIB browser, using the UPS-MIB supplied by TrippLite, or the UPS-MIB from Observium, it says: integer: 11 See attached. Seems most of the MIB files mention units of “0.1 RMS Amp”. Not sure what that does.

If not, you have two options (both of which require having a subscription!): Hope we fix it once you confirm its not fixed in subscription. Pay someone for a couple of hours work to fix it. The choice between the two is usually based on how much you want the fix :) I vaguely recall some triplite stuff changing in the recent past, so chances are it's fixed already. I don't have any of those devices though, so can't say for certain with looking into it a little further. Adam.

Escaped sysContact not being escaped properly
by Spencer Ryan 16 Oct '15

16 Oct '15

I've got several UBNT devices all running EdgeMax 1.7.0 It appears that they escape the sysContact (and a few other fields) in quotes even if they don't have spaces in them. Observium seems to eat the first one properly but not the second. snmpwalk -Os -c public -v 2c router01 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.4 iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.4.0 = STRING: "\"hostmaster(a)arbor.net\"" However in the UI I see this: sysContact*=>*hostmaster(a)arbor.net\ Which causes email notifications to fail, because of the bad email address. Any hope? *Spencer Ryan* | Senior Systems Administrator | sryan(a)arbor.net *Arbor Networks* +1.734.794.5033 (d) | +1.734.846.2053 (m) www.arbornetworks.com

Ignore Statuses Possible?
by Tim Calvin 15 Oct '15

15 Oct '15

Hello We have a few AC powered Foundry FWS-24 switches. Observium is showing alerts for the secondary power supply and fans under statuses. Is there anyway to ignore these? I tried poking around and couldn’t find anything that would do the trick. I don’t even think they have secondary power supplies and fans. Maybe in another hardware configuration but certainly not ours. I have attached a screenshot. Running Observium Professional 0.15.10.7072
