Missing rebuild buttons for groups and alert checkers
by Corwin Ziegler Hunts 05 Aug '24

05 Aug '24

Hi, We use Observium groups extensively, often nested several times. Our alert checkers then reference these groups. After making changes to a group, including by adding a device, we used to force rebuilds of the groups (possibly several times) and checkers so the changes would propagate all the way through. We are on the latest stable revision (r13582) and the rebuild buttons are no longer available in the UI (possibly removed in r13391). What should we do now when we need to forcibly propagate changes?

Oxidized Integration?
by Wiethoff, Helge 05 Aug '24

05 Aug '24

Hi, I am currently testing a replacement for rancid. Rancid has worked for a long time, but adding new device classes feels more and more unwieldy. Oxidized [1] makes a good first impression and I was able to add new device classes without big problems. Then of course I would also like to see an integration with my favorite network management tool :-) There are people who have already worked on this: https://github.com/colin-stubbs/observium-oxidized It looks like this patch doesn't quite work for current observium versions, so I'd like to ask if anyone is working on it and what are the chances that there could be an Observium integration (professional edition)? Thanks Helge [1] https://github.com/ytti/oxidized

Polling - Real time port graphs are different on devices that run Linux natively
by ruben.aninoiu＠zananet.com 31 Jul '24

31 Jul '24

Hi Guys, I have noticed that the real-time graphs for devices that run Linux natively (JunosOS, UnifiOS, etc) display the traffic with "intervals in between". The non-native Linux devices (FortiOS, Cisco IOS) provide a nicer real-time graph for port traffic when polled. Is there something that could be adjusted so that the native Linux devices show the nicer graph? Best regards, Ruben

Many devices shown as down(dns)
by Marios.P＠crowe.com.cy 19 Jul '24

19 Jul '24

Hello all, I can see in my observium installation that many devices changed their status to down(dns). This is a new installation and we migrated the configuration yesterday on a new server and devices were working properly. At around the same time (14:20:00) a lot of our machines changed their status to down. The message in the Event log is "Device status changed to Down (dns)". I tried to find what the problem may be but I can see SNMP are correct and dns records exist for the systems. Any ideas? Thank you, Marios

Apache / https hung after updating Observing
by Roger Larsen 24 Jun '24

24 Jun '24

Dear Observium Community We have for several times experienced problem after Obsevium Professional update. Today we updated from 24.4.13501 to 24.6.13582 (by using $ svn update & $ ./discovery.php -u) OS CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core) updated today w/ kernel: 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 After restarting server we struggle logging in to WebGUI. Apache /httpd is complaining on “to many concurrent connections”. Are there any suggestion on how to update Observium without getting these problems? Any householding processes needed for a better update? Or maybe we need to be more patient and give the server some more minutes after update? Today we waited 30 minutes, and still not able to login… R Austevoll Breiband AS - LYSGLIMT Roger Larsen Teknisk sjef / CTO Tlf +47 9523 7640 / +47 5508 0111 Epost roger.larsen(a)ikt.lysglimt.net<mailto:roger.larsen@ikt.lysglimt.net> [signature_3169845242] www.lysglimt.net<http://www.lysglimt.net> Denne e-posten er beregnet for den institusjon eller person den er rettet til og kan være belagt med lovbestemt taushetsplikt.

by Tony Guadagno 21 Jun '24

21 Jun '24

Hi, I have noticed (now that I am looking) that the list of services on my windows servers is incomplete. In particular, I installed a service about 1 month ago on all my servers and this services does not show on any server in Observium. Can someone tell me how to start troubleshooting this issue? thanks Tony
