Device up/down conditions
by Chris Moody 22 Feb '13

22 Feb '13

Can someone help me understand the algorithm/conditions that will cause a device to be flagged up/down in Observium? Reason I ask is I'm seeing instances where devices will get flagged as 'down' however when I login to the Observium host and manually test via fping/snmpwalk, I get valid responses back. The devices come back a few minutes later. I don't see anything in observium.log aside from poller completion results, so I could use some more info/ideas to help debug why these devices keep going offline intermittently. Cheers, -Chris

Feature request
by Mike Richardson 22 Feb '13

22 Feb '13

Hiya, I'd like to make a feature request. It's a slight modification really. In the User Management -> Edit User section you can grant a user access to a device by selecting a device from a drop down box. Would it be possible to change this from a single select to a multi-select box please? We may have to add over a hundred devices to several users. A multi-select would reduce this work from mind-numbing to merely tedious.

Hi everyone, just would like to know, if there is already a "just undocumented" RANCID integration for Observium? I found a list point in the docu wiki, so I am just curious about. You guys do a great job, btw! Best regards, Florian

Graphs stopped working
by Tom Taylor 20 Feb '13

20 Feb '13

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone's got an idea as to why graphs would suddenly stop working? (see attachment) I hadn't updated anything or changed anything, the rrd's all have data in. It's running off Centos 6.2 Any ideas on how to troubleshoot? [cid:18152FC1-6ED1-47C0-8A4D-DC5CBEF4B7BF@mill-ny.com]

ifAlias fix
by Daniel Preussker 20 Feb '13

20 Feb '13

Hi, I came across a design flaw in ifAlias. First of all the flaw: declare -a INTERFACES=($(ip l|grep mtu|cut -d: -f2|sed s/\ //g)) ... INTERFACE=$(echo ${INTERFACES[$INDEX]}|cut -d@ -f1) The Interface INDEX is rarely equal to the indexes of the array. Thus getting all interfaces here is useless, we already get the right Interface ID from SNMPd, so the fix is: #declare -a INTERFACES=($(ip l|grep mtu|cut -d: -f2|sed s/\ //g)) ... #INTERFACE=$(echo ${INTERFACES[$INDEX]}|cut -d@ -f1) INTERFACE=$((ip l | grep "^${ID}: " | cut -d " " -f 2 | sed 's/://g') 2> /dev/null) This way, even when tap* respawns with a new INDEX it will still be mapped to the right Description and Alias. A 2nd bug has been spotted in snmpbulkwalk vs snmpwalk; snmpbulkwalk -QOUs [...] ifAlias leaves out some descriptions but snmpwalk does not, needs further investigation for now I just hacked the snmp.inc.php...

This week I made the upgrade to the latest release Observium. I noticed a graph clearer. And not in a legend of what can be.

BGP Alerts
by Tobias Brunner 18 Feb '13

18 Feb '13

Hi, Observium only logs when a BGP session goes up, but not when a session goes down. Is this a bug or can this be configured somewhere?
