Mail alert and \n that should not be here.
by Xavier Beaudouin 20 Jan '14

20 Jan '14

Hi there, Using alert on Observium Community (will try to ask for a fund for my work to help the project), I realize there is some strange thing in the mails sent by observium.. Seems there is a \n\n on the headers that brake the mail format. Looking at the code, I didn't saw where it was, and I wish to share if some people here has same issues. Header extract (old alerting stuff) : ---//--- Subject: Temperature Alarm: amazon CPU Temperature X-Priority: 3 Message-Id: <20140120070238.662C8180184CC(a)observium.censored> Date: Mon, 20 Jan 2014 08:02:38 +0100 (CET) To: undisclosed-recipients: ; X-Zimbra-DL: sadm@censored Reply-To: "sadm@censored" <sadm@censored> Message-ID: <213ce88117d32aaeeb4296589d88c8f4@observium> Date: Mon, 20 Jan 2014 08:02:38 +0100 Observium :: Network Observation and Monitoring Temperature Alarm: amazon CPU Temperature is over threshold: 61C (> 60C) ---//--- Header extract (new alerting system) : ---//--- From: "Observium " <sysadmin@censored> Subject: RECOVER: [esx4] [storage] [] Disk space is more than 80 percent used. Please do something X-Priority: 3 Message-Id: <20140120071634.DA1F0180184CC(a)observium.consored> Date: Mon, 20 Jan 2014 08:16:34 +0100 (CET) To: undisclosed-recipients: ; X-Zimbra-DL: sadm@censored Reply-To: "sadm@censored" <sadm@censored> Content-type: text/html Message-ID: <cf3e1676772a4b83c02777f1dedfb49b@observium> Date: Mon, 20 Jan 2014 08:16:34 +0100 ---//--- Seems there is an extra \n on the "Reply-To" header... I have tryed to find if sendmail based / smtp (even local smtp) was an issue, didn't find why. The issue is the same on other observium (home) without zimbra as mta/mua.

Google MAPS Integration
by Nicholas Porter 20 Jan '14

20 Jan '14

Unfortunately not being a Developer I'm finding it hard to get my hands on documentation to implement the use of google maps in the overview page. If this is possible for a net admin to achieve without in-depth dev knowledge please point me in the correct direction. Ideally would like to mimic the overview page that has been used on the demo page on the observium site.

Device Alerts that won't go away
by ryan 18 Jan '14

18 Jan '14

Hello all, I have attached an image of the alerts in question, the names and locations have been removed. It only happens on these two servers out of 20+ different servers. What causes this behavior ? I cannot seem to find any differences between servers. I am using the community edition on centos 6.5 , if that helps at all. Thanks, R. Prihoda

Submission of code
by John Millington 17 Jan '14

17 Jan '14

Hi Everyone, I've recently added some minor functionality to assist with the monitoring of our networks. A summary of this would be: * ShoreTel OS Logo * ShoreTel OS definition * Added SonicWall firewall CPU OID and related graphing * Added Sonicwall firewall active sessions discovery and graph definition for this To achieve this, there are a couple of extra .inc.php files and some addition snippets added to existing files. I understand that you prefer code submissions through wget from a website and I can arrange this, but firstly would like to know if you are interested in adding my code (following a review of course) to the product. Would make my pulls from SVN much easier!! Thanks, John.

Updating Observium
by BERTRAND Adrien [BPCE Assurances] 17 Jan '14

17 Jan '14

Hi, What is the « best practice » for keeping up to date the subscribed edition ? Stopping the cron jobs, updating with the svn, launching the discovery.php and start the cron jobs ? Or lauching the svn directly (without stopping the poller) is ok ?

Display IP address of the device ( DNS resolved ) in front of the device name ?
by Supun Rathnayake 17 Jan '14

17 Jan '14

Hi all, We have a small suggestion, is it possible to add a new feature to display the IP address of the device ( DNS resolved IP of the device ) may be in front of the device name / or at the top of the device page etc. ( at any prominent place ) This is really helpful in identification and further trouble shooting etc., as most of the network engineers are dealing with the IP addresses rather than the hostname in day to day operations. Thanks in advance. -- With Best Regards, Supun Rathnayake Lanka communication Services (Pvt) Ltd. 65C, Dharmapala Mawatha, Colombo 07. Sri Lanka.

Wait time to access subscribed version
by colin.barker＠bluesky.co.uk 16 Jan '14

16 Jan '14

Hi all Hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction. We put through payment for the subscribed version of Observium on Tuesday evening, and very shortly afterwards I emailed Adam with the encrypted htpassword line that he required to add to the SVN. However we have not had any word back on if this has been done or not (and testing, it seems to deny us so I am guessing not). I emailed a chase today, but I was wondering if there was a wait time on getting access, as I don't want to keep bugging when I should be waiting.

Hi all, I’m working on setting up observium/open source edition, and when I load any of the web pages within the GUI I am seeing the SQL queries getting printed to the web page. Has anyone else ran into this issue? If so, any fix?

To modify the general info of an alert checker
by BERTRAND Adrien [BPCE Assurances] 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

Hi, It seems that we can't modify some information on an alert checker (via the web interface) like : - The name of the checker - The message (for the description) - The delay All the other boxes have a modify and a delete button but not for this one. I'm up to date (0.14.1.4883) via the subscription edition of Observium. Keep in touch, Adrien BERTRAND Administrateur Sécurité du Système d'Information Information security administrator BPCE Assurances 88 av. de France, 75013 Paris Tel : (+33)1.42.79.47.81 [Description : Q_BPCE_Assurances.jpg]
