Hy all, i'm using observium to monitor my network devices, i've seen there are applications that could be as well monitored. are these applications to be maintained or to be dropped ? i'm evaluating zabbix as well, so just wondering if i should keep both ? feedback appreciated, Regards

To make sure this is the case, agent scripts should have the absolute minimum of code. Where possible, just command output or cat'd files, updating php, perl and python scripts after deployment may prove difficult... :) Adam.

Hi, We're using a combination of Icinga (nagios) and Observium to monitor our network, some things Icinga do really well, and some things Observium do very well.

Changes made to Devices > Locations
by Sonny Kupka 23 Apr '13

23 Apr '13

Hello, Seems there was a change in code which effects - Devices > Locations. I had set each device with a specific sysLocation - and checked override sysLocation in the device settings. This was working as expected, until I ran updates - Now instead of having my defined locations - It now shows countries - Canada, England, Unknown and all my stuff is showing up under unknown. Is there a place to read about configuration changes - I may need to re-adjust - or is this a bug - as override sysLocation is now overwritten by something else? Thanks. Sonny

You would not be stupid enough to try to complain about something not working on an old release, would you?

Feel free to consider all bug reports and other complaints ignore from nice on, then. Adam. Paul Gear <observium(a)gear.dyndns.org> wrote: >Where "old release" == "I only do 'svn up' in cron.weekly"?

Hi All, New here. :) I have an issue with the billing of traffic. I want to bill according to 95th percentile but for some reason it is always 0Mbps. It can plot my traffic for incoming and outgoing but it always show 0 for my 95th percentile. Any advise on this? Thanks Poh
