Remote SysLogging
by Marco Spicuglia 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

Hello there, it seems that I have some issues with remote syslogging. Some network devices work well, some others don't. The problem seems to be related to the Observium host, I think, as running syslog-ng -Fevd on my observium server, shows that log entries are coming in also from the devices that do not have any log entry in the GUI. It seems that syslog-ng gets the log entries, but they do not get properly passed to Observium, for some reason, at least for some devices. Therefore, those entries do not show up in the mysql database and thus neither in the GUI. I had this problem also on two other Observium hosts I have tried, but only since an upgrade I performed around October 2013. Before it was working fine for all those devices. Anything I can check/do for fixing this? Thanks in advance for your help. Best regards, Marco Met vriendelijke groet/ Kind regards, Marco Spicuglia Network engineer - Programmer ReasonNet B.V.

Recalculate history usage data
by Jimmy Samuel García Hynds 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

Hello, >From time to time I have this huge spikes in the traffic bills that are abnormal, in those cases I just change those values to 0 in the database, I replace them in the bill_data table, and the charts return to normal, I do not mind losing 10 or 20 minutes of readings. This is my question, Is there a way to recalculate the historical data? That data is updated even if I delete the date in the bill_data table, and I do not want to screw up my installation.

How do I get linux boxes to show up in the inventory?
by Ricardo M Meleschi 07 Apr '14

07 Apr '14

Hello again! I noticed there’s an inventory option for Observium. I’m wondering if there’s a way to get the linux boxes that are being monitored by observium into the inventory list? it’d be a nice way to keep track of things, even if I need to make manual modifications to the database. I’ve already added the serial #’s for the systems, and I was hoping that would be enough for the inventory page on observium to populate, but it wasn’t. Thanks, Ricardo

Port Properties do not work
by Marco Zberg 07 Apr '14

07 Apr '14

Hi Currently I feel stuck with an quite ordinary process, disabling of polling and alerts. Normally (on another Observium instance) we deactivate all ports with ifOperStatus=down and ifAdminStatus=down via select/update statement directy in mysql. On our affected Observium instance we have plenty of ports we do not like to poll and keep them deactivated. We have Cisco Catalyst 4507 in use, which are equipped with 400 customer ports (downstream). It is unpractical to activate them all and would overload our Observium with too may SNMP requests. We manually keep the upstream ports (10G Ethernet, Port-Channel etc.) and some specific customer ports activated. When I toggle the ports manually (yes or no) or via "Toggle All" button, it says: "Device record unchanged. No update necessary". Effectively nothing has changed and the ports are still active which should be deactivated. This problem affects the "Polling" and "Alerts" function. Maybe there is a workaround possible via manual update in the mysql DB? Currently we use Rev. 5163.

Please consider adding a feature that lets you disable alerts by location. That way when I want to disable 50 devices for down time I can in one motion rather than 50 or more. -- Sincerely, Joshua Hopper, A+ CE Network Administrator [cid:image001.jpg@01CF50CC.7166D9B0] 420 3rd Ave NW Hickory NC 28601 Office: 828-449-1839x2160 | Cell: 828-855-7565 Protect Plus Air Holdings, LLC and Affiliates, Protect Plus, LLC and Affiliates, Imagine One Resources, LLC and Affiliates, Protect Plus Surfaces, LLC and Affiliates Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail is intended only for the addressee named above.
