Adding MIB
by Nick Her 04 Oct '21

04 Oct '21

Hello, I'm a system admin and I'm new to Observium. I've use other monitoring tools in the past, but deploying my own monitoring tool is all new to me. My plan is to test out the waters and possibly implement Observium to our corporate LAN/WAN consisting of approximately 250 devices. I've got 13 core devices responding and polling is working via SNMPv3. I'm getting a lot of useful data from my core switches. One important data I need is DHCP server information (mac address binding/IP address leases) from our HP switches. These core switches have multiple functions and one of those function is DHCP server. I need to be able to pull this DHCP server data and retain it for a period of time. Maybe send it to a syslog server. My problem is the MIB (HP-ICF-DHCPV4-SEVRER-MIB) is missing from my Observium install. I've been searching for a couple of hours and have not found a good starting point on how to add this MIB. I see that simply coping the MIB into the Observium install directory isn't the complete process. On your FAQ, the answer to "Vendor specific MIB" was very vague and was not very helpful. Can someone give me a brief run down of what I need to do to get this MIB working? What resources to read for more understanding of the MIB process. I'm sure someone's asked this question before, sorry if I'm repeating the question. Thank You,Nick

Event log showing 'changed' entries every 5 minutes
by Richard Kuhns 04 Oct '21

04 Oct '21

Hello, We're running Observerium Professional 21.10.11636. Every 5 minutes the same 'changed' entries show up in the event log (screenshot below). The device in question is a Cisco ASR9K. Browsing to the device's page it looks like the changes below aren't actually be applied (no serial number listed, hardware is generic). How can I go about fixing this? Thanks in advance! -- Richard Kuhns <rjk(a)wintek.com> Systems Administrator Wintek Powered by Tipmont Main: 765-742-8428 Direct: 765-269-8541

Problems with Checkpoint Gaia interface naming
by Hofer, Elmar (BITBW) 04 Oct '21

04 Oct '21

Dear List-Users, maybe someone can help me with my problem as it seems to happen quite often. Checkpoint uses different names in the ifDescr and ifNames field. The correct interface names are in the ifNames field. Now Observium uses the ifDescr field to display the interface names, because normally both fields have the same conntent. I'm lokking for an option to change this behaviar. It would be great to get an hint where to look for this problem to resolve. Thanks for your help. Yours Elmar

Hi How do you change the password for the client area on observium.org? Are there any function for that I can use myself or does this need to be done centrally? ---- Regards Daniel

unending disk space growth?
by Adam Thompson 27 Sep '21

27 Sep '21

Since we last rebuilt our Observium instance in late 2019, we've noticed that it's chewing up disk space at a prodigious rate, that we didn't see before. We're seeing a steady ~300BG/month increase in storage needs. Observium, of course, monitors itself, and the line on the storage graph is a nearly-perfect slope (after adjusting for disk size increases). This came to my attention this morning (again), when we ran out of disk space (again) and I had to expand the volume (again) to continue operating. (So much for our alerting... oops.) We have added a few new devices, but not 1TB worth, and not consistently and constantly since late 2019. Since RRD files are - in theory - fixed-size, why does /opt/obvservium/rrd keep growing without bound? And how can I predict future growth? Will it ever stop? Help? Anyone? -Adam Adam Thompson Consultant, Infrastructure Services [1593169877849] 100 - 135 Innovation Drive Winnipeg, MB, R3T 6A8 (204) 977-6824 or 1-800-430-6404 (MB only) athompson(a)merlin.mb.ca<mailto:athompson@merlin.mb.ca> www.merlin.mb.ca<http://www.merlin.mb.ca/>
