Port Descriptions
by gregorcy 07 Mar '14

07 Mar '14

Hi, I am trying to setup port descriptions but I am not sure where I tell observium which port is a "core" port. This is a link to the documentation but I am not sure where to specify it. http://www.observium.org/wiki/Interface_Description_Parsing Thanks for the help, -- Cheers, Brian Gregorcy IT Manager University of Utah Department of Chemical Engineering 801.585.7170

monitoring/alerting
by Joshua Elson 07 Mar '14

07 Mar '14

Hi All, Does Observium have the capabilities to monitor and alert when file systems grow above a certain threshold? Say 80% full? I didn't see this in the documentation. Thanks in advance!

Is there any way to pull graph data into an excel sheet? It seems like it would be something that I need to export off of a specific rrd file and convert to csv/excel, or is there any other way to do this?

smokeping graphs in observium (loss of information)
by Martin Smith 06 Mar '14

06 Mar '14

Hello, I have a quick question about Smokeping integration with Observium. It's working but the graphs are displayed with less information. Is it possible for Observium to display the graphs in the same fashion as native Smokeping? For example, smoke goes "up" from the baseline, packet loss displayed in a different color according to percent loss. Comparison image here: http://s14.postimg.org/vti7xyo5t/smokeping_vs_observium.png Thank you for your time, -Martin

Polling Taking Longer than 5 minutes for a few devices
by Chip Pleasants 06 Mar '14

06 Mar '14

I have a few devices that take longer than 5 minutes to poll. Looking at the polling information Observium provides it reports 999.99s for two of the three and the third one reports 975.37s under Last Polled. I believe the result of taking to long o poll is the breaks I see in my graphs for only these three devices. These boxes have about 150 vlan interfaces and are fully populated 6509s. I have adjusted the poller-wrapper.py to 10 and $config['snmp']['max-rep'] = 10 right now. A 4 processor VM averages about 60 cpu utilization constantly. The Server's Disk IO Ops/sec average is about 110. Today I only have 52 out of 1300 devices loaded into it. Any suggestions to speed up the polling on these few boxes or is the only solution add another polling server and do odd even or something of that nature. Maybe there is another issue I'm not seeing? Thanks in advance for any assistance/direction. -Chip
