Backwards switches
by Ryan McCully 17 Sep '14

17 Sep '14

Hi Everyone My switches are showing inbound traffic as outbound and outbound as inbound on Observium. I suspect it may be something to do with the SNMP in the switches that can't be changed therefore is it possible to swap the two on observium? My router which is also monitored by observium shows inbound and outbound correctly. Thanks Ryan

Re: [Observium] Problem with the Mail Alerting
by Matt Ladewig 16 Sep '14

New feature would be needed- Individual alert checker email address. That way one alert checker could be setup to match on .us.domain devices and send to the US NOC email address. A second checker then would be created to send .jp.domain devices to the JP NOC email address. Feature requests 876 and 988 would take care of it.

I wouldn't even know where to start doing something like that... :D adam. _______________________________________________ observium mailing list observium(a)observium.org http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium

Alerts for down state
by Bruce Reeves 16 Sep '14

16 Sep '14

I have been trying a few combinations of the wiki examples for alerts and most work, but a simple down state keeps eluding me in defining an alert. Does anyone have an example they'd could share of it working? Sent while mobile, please excuse typos.

I've setup a couple of alerts however I don't see a way to have the alerts email sent out say every 5 minutes or w/e if the alert is triggered. Is there a way to cahnge this? I have a server which triggered an alert and last time alerted is more than 30 minutes ago.

Interface description parser issues
by Chard, Alex (REA-SYD) 14 Sep '14

14 Sep '14

Hi All, Wondering if anyone can help with this... I have Observium setup on about 30 switches and routers. The only feature I haven't been able to get working is the tagging interfaces based on description as Transit, peering etc. As an example, this is one of our Internet transit interfaces: interface GigabitEthernet0/1 description Transit: {14379} (Pipe Networks AS24130) [100Mbit] Observium tells me: Total Graph for ports of type : Transit None found. Any ideas why this might not work? Many thanks, Alex Chard This e-mail is for the use of the intended recipient(s) only.

Re: [Observium] f5 bandwidth

>From switch port side which connect to our f5, I can clearly see traffic is at 500M bps. Just from f5 side, it seems not polling correct at all. Thanks.

Need assistance adding an application...
by Christopher K. Brown 13 Sep '14

13 Sep '14

Anyone familiar with adding an application? I think I have everything the documentation said to do in place, and I followed the example of a patch (asterix) that added an application, but I cannot get the web GUI to display the new app in the Apps tabs and dropdowns. I have an application that spits out data in the right place...I can telnet to the polling port and the output includes my new data with the proper <<< >>> header. So I'm thinking I may have to add a row to the applications table in the observium database? Is that a necessary step? The php looks like it needs an 'app_id' from somewhere. Thanks for any assistance.
