If u stay on top of Ubuntu lts releases you can directly upgrade the box from 16.04 to 18.04 to 20.04 to 22.04 with do-release-upgrade so observium would stay installed and should just work with the new packages, however I dont know if it will work with 16.04 to 18.04 currently as 16.04 is now so out of date.

Port Group aggregate graphs refresh
by Marian Rychtecky 04 Feb '23

04 Feb '23

Hi all, I have a question (or maybe a feature request). Can I automatically refresh aggregated graphs based on Port Group? Let's say I have a Port Group based on ifAlias regexp. I can manually create an aggregated graph of it - bits, broadcasts, or discards. Then use created graph in the dashboard. The problem is a number of items in Port Group are changing over time, and I need to refresh these aggregated graphs manually. That means performing these steps 1) Ports -> Groups -> <My group name> 2) Aggregate Graphs -> Bits 3) Click on graph -> Add to the Dashboard 4) Repeat for all Aggregated graphs (Bits, Broadcasts, Multicasts, Discards) 5) delete old Aggregated graphs from the dashboard 6) position newly added graphs (with the actual number of ports) It would be very handful to have a script refreshing aggregated graphs automatically.

Error "Creation Failed" when Adding Port Groups
by Justin Radke 01 Feb '23

01 Feb '23

Goal: Attempting to make “aggregate” graphs by calculating port bandwidth from multiple devices. For example, a graph that shows the total bandwidth of IP transit or IXP Peering ports that are not in LAG groups on Cisco gear. Problem Statement: When creating a “Group” of ports I get an error in red that says “Creation Failed: Unknown action requested.” Problem Description: 1. Click “Create New Group” in the GUI 2. Select Entity Type “Port” 3. Give group name of “TestGroup1” 4. Select “Device” from the dropdown, default to “in” and select a Cisco router in the dropdown that is already present and working in Observium 5. Click “Add rule” select “AND” choose “Port ifIndex” “equals” enter in the field the ifindex a. I’ve also tried adding just one or even multiple rules with “OR’s” results in this message b. I’ve also tried adding the port with “Port ID”, “Port ifDescr”, “Port ifName” and others all result in this failure message c. I’m getting the port_id, ifindex, ifName, etc from the “Data” tab when viewing a Port of the Cisco in Observium 6. Click the bottom right, green “Add Group” and receive the error message: “Creation Failed: Unknown action requested.” Can someone direct me to how to make such graphs? And/or explain what I might be doing wrong that I cannot create Port Groups?

Still cannot log onto the web console
by Matthew Cotter 30 Jan '23

30 Jan '23

Hi Adam, A long time ago, I sent an email saying I could not log onto the Observium website. It appears to be still working when I look at the log file which is HUGE, 1781351488 in size. I was looking at the housekeeping option but when I was poking around in the terminal, I see there is cron.daily, cron.weekly, cron.monthly. no cron.d How can I run this on the fly to clean up that file? I could not figure that out. my Linux is amateur at best. I can navigate around, and edit files, but no coding experience. Please help.. I have made many changes to our network and I need to ger this so we can log in and I need to update the devices. Thank you!
