Disable Sensor Alerts
by Adam Summerfield 29 Jan '13

29 Jan '13

We are getting a lot of false alerts from our Arista switches in regards to environmental sensors. I have tried enabling ignore under device settings, however after clicking save the option does not remain selected. I tried to disable alerts adding the following to the config.php but this did not work. $config['alerts']['sensor_classes']['current'] = false; $config['alerts']['sensor_classes']['voltage'] = false; $config['alerts']['sensor_classes']['fanspeed'] = false; $config['alerts']['sensor_classes']['temperature'] = false; Would appreciate any assistance. Regards, Adam

Re: [Observium] Poller performance
by Adam Armstrong 24 Jan '13

24 Jan '13

Observium scales primarily on the number of interfaces you have, as they account for the majority of I/o. 128 switches would be a large install, 128 servers would not. You should try running 2 or 3 pollers if your server's disk is not too heavily loaded. If you are only using one poller then your disk is waiting for SNMP was dating time. Memcached was replaced with mysql memory tables, which you are already using :-) Rrdcached seems to make little difference to me. I have my installs running in a ramdisk, as that removes the i/o bottleneck entirely. Adam.

Poller performance
by Tobias Brunner 24 Jan '13

24 Jan '13

Hi, I have some performance troubles with the poller, it takes a bit more than 5 minutes to finish. There are 128 devices to poll... Looking at the "Performance tuning" wiki page and the mailing list, I implemented the following tweaks: * Using poller-wrapper from Job Snijders ("Multiple poller instances" was really bad, polling took about 10 minutes) * Activated RRDcached Putting the RRDs on a Ramdisk is not a solution for me (too less memory). Does memcache work with the current SVN build? What other options for performance tuning do I have? One idea was to have "worker" server which only poll a subset of devices and report the values back to the master. Is something like that possible? Which resources need the most I/O? RRD or MySQL? Are there many inserts and updates to the Database? Thanks for all suggestions...

netsted location menu
by Michael Cushard 22 Jan '13

22 Jan '13

Hi, The nested location menu in build 3528 should help a little with organization. What would the syntax be for the custom location field of an object in order to create a top level location and several sub-level locations underneath it? For instance, something like EU -> FR -> Paris? Regards, Michael

sysLocation instead of sysContact on Alerts page
by Alex Pressé 21 Jan '13

21 Jan '13

Just a minor thing; on the edit alerts page ( http://observiumserver.mydomain.lan/device/device=1/tab=edit/section=alerts/ ) It says "Override sysLocation" where it should say "Override sysContact". -- Alex Presse "How much net work could a network work if a network could net work?"
