Device names on front page Google map?
by Ulrik Ivers 14 Apr '14

14 Apr '14

Hi, I'm new to Observium, so please be tolerant if I ask a stupid question. On the Google map on the front page - is it possible to have the device names displayed? Either "always" or when hovering on the green place marker. Now when I hover I get a label stating "1 hosts", "2 hosts" etc depending on the number of devices that have identical location. I've looked through the documentation and searched old discussion archives but haven't been able to find anything regarding this. Regards, /Ulrik Ivers

I’m suffering from the same issue since last week or so. I’ve filed http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBSERVIUM-795 for this to get this solved/fixed. I didn’t exactly know what it was related to, but thanks for figuring that out!

There will always be only one of the two clocks in use, so some kind of logic tweak is needed to treat this differently otherwise you always have a load of status warnings for the category of “State” under “Health”. Unless you go through them all and disable them, but then you won’t get an event when they do become active (which is usually a bad thing as something else has failed).

device status boxes on the front page show disabled devices
by Henrik Lund Kramshøj 14 Apr '14

14 Apr '14

Hi We have a problem with the front page, the red alert boxes are shown for devices that are disabled. We use the config.php $config['frontpage']['order'] = array('status_summary', 'device_status_boxes', 'device_status', 'overall_traffic' ); and I guess its the device_status_boxes is the one. Did something change, or do we need to change something? Devices shown (some of them) has check mark in: "Disable Disables polling and discovery. Device ignore Device ignore. " So they shouldnt show up, didnt sometime before - but unknown when they stopped working correctly. Version, subscription, did a svn up today. man apr 14 09:14:08 CEST 2014 Best regards Henrik -- Henrik Lund Kramshøj, Follower of the Great Way of Unix internet samurai cand.scient CISSP hlk(a)kramse.org hlk(a)solidonetworks.com +45 2026 6000 http://solidonetworks.com/ Network Security is a business enabler

How best to tell Observium that VMware is no longer unix [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
by Peter.Hine＠familycourt.gov.au 11 Apr '14

11 Apr '14

Back in the bad old days, esx was run on a version of RedHat Linux (RHEL). Now they run their own kernel. During discovery, i noticed that the unix agent was trying to be contacted and also has (unix). Reasonably sure VMware won't support it. Your native VM detection and polling is sufficient anyway. adlvm03 6 vmware (unix) Module [ junose-atm-vp ] excluded for device. Module [ cisco-ipsec-flow-monitor ] excluded for device.

Frontpage alert hostnames
by Spencer Gaw 11 Apr '14

11 Apr '14

Hey all, Has anyone noticed that some devices display the subdomain in their hostname on frontpage alerts and others do not? Example: Here are the hostnames configured on each device: /ring-rmcit.ftc> system show host-name// // //+------------------------------ HOST NAME -------------------------------+// //| Oper | ring-rmcit.ftc |// //| User | ring-rmcit.ftc |// //| DHCP | |// //+------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+// // //sw01.cos> system show host-name// // //+------------------------------ HOST NAME -------------------------------+// //| Oper | sw01.cos |// //| User | sw01.cos |// //| DHCP | |// //+------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+/ /redacted(a)access03.den> show version | match hostname// //Hostname: access03.den /Any ideas here? / /Regards, SG

Enhancement Request: Latest Reported Operating System
by techuser6＠gmail.com 11 Apr '14

11 Apr '14

It would be nice if there was another column next to "Operating System" for Network devices that had the latest reported IOS from Cisco/Dell. That way one could easily see which devices need to be upgraded to the latest IOS to ensure that security and bug fixes are addressed.

Device Ignore
by Marco Spicuglia 11 Apr '14

Hi there, running last stable version. If I disable/ignore a decommissioned device, then it still shows up as "down" in the frontpage device alerts module, while the alarm should disappear instead.

Trapeze/Juniper wireless controller
by Adam Armstrong 11 Apr '14

11 Apr '14

Hi All, Does anyone have a Trapeze/Juniper wireless controller they'd be willing to give us SNMP read access to so we can add support for it? (similarly for other wireless controllers, but initially we're looking for Trapeze/Juniper :) Thanks, adam.
