Device Alerts
by James Bensley 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

Hi everyone, On the main front page of Observium (the Overview/dashboard), the device alerts table never seems to empty. I guess it works on a maximum number of entries scheme, new alerts are displayed at the top as they occur and old ones are dropped off the bottom. It looks like we always have problems on our NOC display. Is it possible to remove items from the list, clear them off somehow? Many thanks, James.

Need help with 2 minor issues
by Wes Zastrow 02 Oct '13

I'm having difficulty with 2 settings: I've added: $config['frontpage']['map']['dotsize'] = 5; This is not changing the size of the dot. I've also added: $config['title_image'] = "images/my-logo.png"; This is not changing the logo on the top left of the web interface. Your help is greatly appreciated, thanks! ~Wes CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This electronic message transmission contains information from assure360, which may be confidential.

That page is how it is, you cant remove things from it because its showing state. Rebooted information goes away after 24 hours. Its actually showing you devices with uptime below 24 hours. Adam.

separate diskio graphs for different devices
by Mihai - Cristian Satmarean 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

Hi all, is it possible to have a separate graph for each entity in the DiskIO? Scenario is that we try to monitor ZFS server and there are over 200 Filesystems that are shown on top of each other making the graph impossible to use. Thanks!

Re: [Observium] Cisco 4900M temperature sensors not displayed

Sounds like typical Cisco bugs. You should probably verify that your device is populating the correct MIBs before you moan at us. Adam.

Adding a custom OID ?
by Mihai Tanasescu 30 Sep '13

30 Sep '13

Hello, I'm a newbie with Observium having just installed it, but now a question has popped up in my head that I could not find a clear answer to by googling. I have a couple of Linux hosts for which I also added in the net-snmpd conf a counter for the number of imapd & others processes. How could I add to a small part of the existing graphed servers, this OID ? (or where should I look in the conf ?) I was thinking maybe defining a new template (if this is the working principle) and adding there these OIDs also for the discovery phase. Can someone advise me at least where to start my question with ? I'm a bit confused at the moment. Thanks, Mihai

How to use removespikes.php?

If I try to use removespokes.php, I always get the error FATAL: File '' does not exist. root@CORPLNMS01:/opt/observium/rrd/phlinfrtr01# ../../scripts/removespikes.php -R port-10.rrd FATAL: File '' does not exist. The same named perl script runs but doesn't remove 1gbit spikes on 2mbit links... -- Alex Presse "How much net work could a network work if a network could net work?"

Aggregate Graphing?
by Luis Quintana 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

I was looking at the graphing off of the main page, where you select All Devices, then Bits, and had a quick question about this. I assume this is an aggregate of all interfaces being displayed. What I am curious to know is if the graphs show interfaces that are "technically" duplicates? For example, a straight interface on a juniper device can be ge-1/0/0, but because there is a unit attached to the interface, sort of like a sub-interface, ge-1/0/0.0 shows up as well. The problem here is, its the same statistics for both of the interfaces, in this example. So, if the aggregate graph is looking at all interfaces and includes both in the aggregate graph, well than the aggregate is not correct? Not sure if I explained it correctly, and if not, please let me know. What i am getting at is, it seems as though there is duplicate information being aggregated so the graphs is not accurate, from what it looks like. Thoughts?
