Hi list, Is it possible to edit some files, making the eventlog show the full hostname/IP? For example showing on-to the homepage the entity in stead of Device. > > 2015-10-01 09:01:31 short > longer.hostname.com > Device status changed to Up > King Regards, Romain Winter. -- OpenmindedIT <http://www.open-minded-it.nl> Adres: Aphroditestraat 23 5047 TW Tilburg tel: 0031 (0) 13 707 8093 fax: 0031 (0) 13 570 1113 Web: www.openmindedit.nl <http://www.open-minded-it.nl> E-mail: r.winter(a)openmindedit.nl <mailto:r.winter@openmindedit.nl> --- Dit bericht is slechts bestemd voor de geadresseerde en kan informatie bevatten die persoonlijk en/of vertrouwelijk is en die niet openbaar mag worden gemaakt.

Fwd: NTP Graphs
by Federico Olivieri 01 Oct '15

01 Oct '15

Hi All, I'm trying to plot some graphs with Observium for my NTP server. I would do something similar to MUNIN. I tried to google it but I didn't find any useful information for my (low) level of experience. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thank You Federico

More Observium integrations with rancid
by Robbie Wright 30 Sep '15

30 Sep '15

So we've got rancid integration working (thanks Adam and others) in Observium for all of our Mikrotik devices and it is working great. We've got a few Ubiquiti EdgeRouters (based on Vyatta) that we'd like to get hooked up with rancid as well, but the Observium integration confuses me a bit. Do we edit the cloginrc file with the info for how to log into EdgeRouters? I would have assumed we would normally use a different group to tell rancid how to pull config's but everything is just in the Observium group. How does everyone setup rancid to pull down more than one equipment manufacturer's gear? Has anyone pulled config's through rancid into Observium from EdgeRouters?

FW: Real time graphs on the ports not working
by Arya, Renuka [MED] 30 Sep '15

Hi All, Any word on this? Anyone seeing this issue? Regards Renuka ________________________________ From: Arya, Renuka [MED] Sent: Monday, September 28, 2015 9:32 AM To: observium-owner(a)observium.org Subject: Real time graphs on the ports not working Hi All, I am not able to see the real-time graphs on the port basis for all my network devices in Observium. It is just blank. Please see attachments for a port (Normal Graph and Real Graph). I am running Observium 0.15.6.6442. It used to work pretty smoothly previously. Please help. I would be requiring this feature for some demos we are planning in couple of weeks. Thanks!

Hello again, No one has experienced this or can help? Thanks in advance Enviado de Samsung Mobile -------- Mensaje original -------- De: Miguel Berniz <mberniz(a)gibfibrespeed.net> Fecha:22/09/2015 23:20 (GMT+01:00) Para: observium(a)observium.org Asunto: Port-Channels in Cisco devices Hello, I installed community version through Turnkey appliance and drive a test with 25 network devices. Then I ran unto subscription version and I have noticed port-channel members are not appearing anymore in the port list, for example, in a 4500 VSS. The exaclly same devices are correctly showing port-channel and interface members top right column. What could this be caused by? Thanks in advance, Miguel

Pushover (woohoo!)
by Tim Vaughan 29 Sep '15

29 Sep '15

Ok, I see that Pushover is now a contact method. Great! Erm, how do I make it work? I've tried creating a new application and putting the API token in the "Destination" field, but it doesn't appear to work that way. What goes in the Destination field? Tim

Small feature request
by Attila Nagy 28 Sep '15

28 Sep '15

Hi All! One colleague of mine recently met this little (let's call it) glitch, and as he is rather new to the software, he had a hard time solving it (he had to ask me to get introduced into the concept of disabled devices, and the place to search for :)). So when one wants to add a new device, and it already exists, Observium writes a simple error message, like: "Already got device x.y.z.net." What I would like to suggest is two things: 1. make the device name in this error message clickable as anywhere else. This way the novice user can click on the host and see that it's really there 2. if the device is disabled, maybe indicate it in this message, like "Already got device x.y.z.net only disabled" This way the novice user would see why he didn't found the device in the first place. Now that I think of it again, the second one is rather overkill, but the first one would be an easy but logical advancement. Regards, Tylla

Geolocation and Mapping
by Adam Armstrong 28 Sep '15

28 Sep '15

Hi Guys, As some of you might already have noticed, MapQuest have changed the policies on their geolocation API, breaking our previous geolocation defaults. We briefly switched the default API to Open Street Maps, but due to the large Observium userbase they weren't able to support our request load, and we've since had to switch to Yahoo's geolocation API. If you've kept the subscription version up to date, you should already have these new defaults. The community version can change the geolocation API in the config.php, but doesn't currently support the Yahoo API, which will come in the next release. Details for settings can be found at : http://www.observium.org/docs/config_options/#syslocation-configuration Observium also has support for Yandex and Google geolocation, and though Google's geolocation works best, it can only be used with a commercial license, so that can only be enabled by organisations with such a license. This means that some addresses which previously geolocated may not geolocate properly now (each API has its own quirks when it comes to parsing addresses, so ones which worked before may not work now, and vice-versa!). We're investigating setting up our own geolocation and map imaging servers, along with switching to a new mapping library to try to remove reliance on external organisations. Thanks, adam.

Any Materials for Observium new starter?
by Peter Ekwuno 28 Sep '15

28 Sep '15

Hi All, My company just decided that we will be using Observium as the network monitoring on new network environment and the server hosting the Observium is set up and running by one of the Engineers. However, I will be the engineer managing the platform and I’m very much new to the product. More so, I have looked on the web site and Google, it seems that there aren’t enough comprehensive video or guide on how to manage the product bearing in mind that I am new to Linux platform. Please can some one point me to the right direction to get the basic materials needed for Observium?

Separate emails for alerts sent to contacts
by Christopher Pole 28 Sep '15

28 Sep '15

Hi, I'm looking at using Observium contacts + alerts to replace some alerting we do for customers using Nagios. Is it possible to send a separate email to the primary device contact and any additional contacts specified for alerts in the contact section rather than populating the to field with all recipients on a single email? If not would this be difficult to implement? We'd prefer not to expose the internal email address that receives our alerts to our customers if possible. Thanks, Chris
