adjusting bandwidth graphs to what the client is paying for
by Anthony Polselli 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

Hi, Just checking out the software for the first time and really liking it. We are using PRTG now and of the things we like about it is per interface we are monitoring, we can set the max x-axis value. It helps our tech's to know what speed Internet connection a client is paying for. We will hand off a 100Mbps interface to the client, but if they are only paying for 20Mbps, we will shape the traffic down to 20Mbps on the router. When you look at the percent graph in Observium, it's based on a 100Mbps max possible speed instead of 20Mbps. Thanks!

by Simon Smith 04 Aug '14

04 Aug '14

Hi All, i know this is probably a stupid question, but how do i delete sensors from within the panel and not on the server itself im monitoring? for some reason the observium has detected lmsensors fanspeed sensors about 4 times over? and im not sure if its the server at fault or observium at fault, so i was just going to delete the old fanspeed sensors ? i have attached some screenshots if people don’t understand what im talking about Regards Simon

Using PHP Weathermap with Observium
by Markus Klock 04 Aug '14

04 Aug '14

Hello! We are migrating from Cacti to Observium and it was a great experience, the only thing we lacked were the weathermap plugin for getting that nice network overview. I then found that Neil Lathwood wrote a modified version of the PHP Weathermap that works with Observium data, you can find it on his github: https://github.com/laf/weathermap I wrote a quick and dirty script that adds the weathermaps to the Observium menu without modifying Observium-code so that it will not break when updating Observium. It works really well so I wrote a little guide for how you get the weathermap to work with Observium and posted it here: http://blog.best-practice.se/2014/07/using-php-weathermap-with-observium.ht… In case there are more people interested in using the weathermap with Observium :) /Markus

Simple API calls fail
by Mark Price 01 Aug '14

01 Aug '14

Hello list, After an upgrade recently, our Simple API calls have been failing. I just updated to latest svn 0.14.8.5732 and here is what I am seeing: sample api call: wget -O - " http://myserver/api.php?username=myuser&password=mypass&module=bandwidth&po… " which returns: HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 500 Internal Server Error When adding debug=1 option, I get a lot of output which I have pasted here: http://pastie.org/private/zulxpk1n4viyyymxw89wjg The relevant bit seems to be: Fatal error: Call to undefined function humanize_device() in /opt/observium/includes/common.inc.php on line 964 Any tips for how to debug this? Best, Mark

PPPoE ports not displaying in Observium Discovery

Hi All, We are seeing an interesting issue when looking at a Mikrotik Routerboard (RB951 MikroTik RouterOS 6.13) When performing an snmpwalk of the device, we see the pppoe client interfaces (counters, gauges, timers etc) as expected.
