Ok, thanks Tom. I work for the nhs, so paypal isn't really an option. I'll ask the finance team whether the IBAN thing works for them, I've no idea what it is. -----Original Message----- From: observium [mailto:observium-bounces@observium.org] On Behalf Of Tom Laermans Sent: 09 October 2014 17:37 To: Observium Network Observation System Subject: Re: [Observium] Sensors not working - 14.4 Paypal highly prefferred, CC also possible through paypal without a paypal account (but no automatic renewals then) or Euro money transfer through IBAN.

Adam, I totally see your point, and am surprised that it's only a 12% uptake to be honest. As an aside question - what methods of payment for the professional product are supported and how do I go about it? Still need to sweet-talk the boss but it's looking promising. Cheers - keep up the good work.

That's probably because maintaining both generates a shitstorm of support bullshit from free-edition users. We find we get more hassle from people who don't pay than people who do, which slowly edges us away from bothering to release CE. For us CE is really just advertising. We do it because ~12% of users upgrade to subscriptions. Really, no company should be running something like Observium operationally without the updates that's in subscription. It's too much of a liability for the price! :) adam. _______________________________________________ observium mailing list observium(a)observium.org http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium

Glad it helped someone. Blown away by how decent this software is, I hope they keep up the community thing/open source thing. Companies like smoothwall have pretty much ditched their open source bit altogether which is a big shame.

Sensors not working - 14.4
by Franks Andy (RLZ) IT Systems Engineer 08 Oct '14

08 Oct '14

Hi all, Not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I've noticed with the current community version of observium (14.4/5229) that I installed today that on line 24 of includes/discovery/sensors.inc.php : include("includes/discovery/senors/entity-sensor-mib-inc-php"); Should probably read include("includes/discovery/sensors/entity-sensor-mib-inc-php"); It made my procurve temperature pickup work again anyway. Probably been documented somewhere but I couldn't find it. Do I qualify for a free pro version now? :-) Cheers Andy

Assistance with Email alerts
by Robin Cook 08 Oct '14

08 Oct '14

Hello, I am running the paid/SVN version of observium and I have tried a couple of times to setup email alerts and each time I end up breaking my config and having to restore it. Does anyone have any sample configurations I can look at/copy from for simple alerts to a single email address via a network SMTP relay? e.g. mail from observium(a)domain.com<mailto:observium@domain.com> to alerts(a)domain.com<mailto:alerts@domain.com>? Do I require a local postfix install for mail to be dropped into?

Syslog filters
by Markus Klock 07 Oct '14

07 Oct '14

Hello! I'm trying to apply some syslog-filters and have for example added this to my config.php: $config['syslog']['filter'][] = 'ROUTING-MLDP-5-BRANCH'; $config['syslog']['filter'][] = "Successfully authenticated user \'rancid\'"; However I still get messages containing these strings Do I need some kind of wildcard or what could be wrong? BR, Markus

Overview timestamp delta broken
by Ben Steele 07 Oct '14

07 Oct '14

Since I installed Observium a few weeks ago I have noticed that the overview timestamp for syslog and event log delta is wrong for most (not all) devices, this is prevalent on the main overview and the specific device overview page. By wrong I mean "-1y -1d -xh." etc.. Hovering over the incorrect entry pops up the correct timestamp so I think it's just the logic in calculating the delta between current time and that event that's broken, also viewing the syslogs and entry logs directly with the original timestamp is fine as well. I checked my local timezone and php timezone just to be sure and they are reporting correctly, I would imagine this would break the original timestamp anyway which is not the problem here. Hover over example: I find it particularly weird as not every device is doing this, the ones that are have no real pattern either, mixture of N7K,N5K,ASA etc and some even have a mixture of working and broken entries (individual device overview): [image: Inline image 1] Anyone else seen this, any ideas? Cheers.
