Graph Template Missing error under Routing/Overview
by Bruce Majola 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

Hi, I am running version 2108 on ubuntu 10.04 and everything is working okay except for the "Graph Template Missing" error when I click on the "Overview" button under the Routing tab. Is it an error with my upgrade or is the template still to be created? Thanks for the great application.

New devices, feature requests, questions
by Paul Gear 08 Apr '11

08 Apr '11

Hi folks, I've been using Observium for a few weeks now and would like to start getting it work better with some of my unrecognised devices. Is there any general documentation about how to go about adding new device types? I'm not much of a PHP programmer, but i've done enough C & Java that i can usually muddle along. Which bits should i start hacking on? For what it's worth the main devices i'm looking to support are Xirrus wireless arrays. I notice that Netgear switches are explicitly mentioned as not supported, but the limitation listed in the wiki (that they don't support MAC addresses in the IF-MIB) doesn't appear to be completely accurate - at least for my GS-108T at home. Some features i think would be really great (and am prepared to work on): * Filtering on the global memory screen (health/memory/) so that we can view, e.g., just physical memory, or just virtual memory, etc. A simple drop-down at the top of the list would make sense to me. * The global storage screen (health/storage/nographs/) would make a lot more sense to me if the size of the area which was shaded was relative to the size of the storage. Making the width of the gauge grow on a logarithmic scale would make sense to me. And some questions and related suggestions: * When we ignore a port, does that prevent graphing and data collection on it, or just notification? I have a lot of edge switches for which i have no use of port up/down notifications, but if it is up, i would like to collect the interface stats. Perhaps the "ignore" tickbox needs to be split into "collect" and "notify"? * Why do HP switches show VLANs as ports, but then never provide any interface statistics for them? Thanks in advance, Paul

Monitoring mySQL
by Pász Gergely 07 Apr '11

07 Apr '11

Hello! After trying out both the Python and the PHP snmp extenders in /scripts I still haven't managed to get mySQL monitoring working (while Apache monitoring works great). Though it works for some: http://www.observium.org/forum/index.php/topic,103.0.html I get the following error while using the PHP script: Applications: apache mysql...ERROR: /srv/observium/rrd/localhost/app-mysql-3.rrd: expected 79 data source readings (got 3) from N And I got a lot of zeros then some error if I use the Python one (I'm guessing it's because the /includes/poller/applications/mysql.inc.php expects name:value pairs) Any advice? Thanks, Pas

My next cut at the port edit UI
by Paul Gear 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

Hi Adam & all, I wasn't really very happy with the previous version of my port edit screen. Latest cut is here: http://gear.dyndns.org/~paulgear/patches/observium-r2002-port-jquery.patch Screenshot of the old version is here: http://gear.dyndns.org/~paulgear/patches/port-edit-previous.png Screenshot of the new version is here: http://gear.dyndns.org/~paulgear/patches/port-edit-current.png The patch adds a few new buttons: * Reset: reset the form back to the way it was * Alerted: toggle all ports in red status (effectively setting all ports to the "recommended" settings) * Down: select ignore for all down ports (useful for quickly shutting up a noisy switch) I think these are useful functions, but i'm still not overly fond of the UI. The number of buttons makes it a bit ugly. However, i can't think of any better way to lay it out, and i definitely like having the functionality available. Any thoughts? Thanks, Paul P.S. I'd also suggest moving the uncompressed jquery.js aside and making the compressed version the default.

Feature request: Create aggregate graphs
by Olof Kasselstrand 28 Mar '11

28 Mar '11

Hi there, Is it possible to create custom aggregate graphs? For example, if I want to see the total traffic in/out for one specific customer connecting on two switch ports. Or all traffic on all my peering ports. Or all peering traffic to one peer on three different ports etc. Thanks, Olof

Cisco PIX
by John Macleod 25 Mar '11

25 Mar '11

I have a couple of older PIX models, 506 and 501, that we poll at client sites. Observium doesn't appear to identify these and only appears to poll interface stats. Is this a known issue? ___ John Macleod Alentus UK Limited Seymour House South Street Bromley BR1 1RH +44.(0)208.315.5800 +44.(0)208.315.5801 (Fax) www.alentus.co.uk | www.alentus.com "Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail This e-mail (and/or any attachment) contains information, which is confidential and intended solely for the attention and use of the named addressee(s).

Using that should considerably speed up page load times, especially over slow or heavily-loaded links. Paul
