Minor graph problems
by William Bauer 14 Mar '17

14 Mar '17

Ever since I moved our installation from CentOS6 with PHP 5.6 to CentOS7 (7.3) with PHP 7.0, I've noticed that the MRTG, "Graph Maximum" and "Graph Trend" menu items don't do anything. All of them used to work great. Is this enough information to signal to anyone what particular PHP package or PHP configuration entry might have been missed? I'm hoping the combination of these three is a smoking gun that signals "X is missing". Thanks.

Simple service checks?
by Mark Boyce 13 Mar '17

13 Mar '17

Hi All Very new to observium, so please forgive me if this is a silly question :-) In order to migrate away from nagios we also want to be able to track non-snmp values. For example; - Response time of web sites (is response correct, if so report response time) - SSL Certificate (is cert ok, if so report number of days left) … and similar Very easily scriptable checks, I just can’t work out what to do with them. Ideally I’d like to create a device that doesn’t respond to SNMP checks but gets data from a local script. Is this achievable or am I completely misusing Observium? Simply trying to get everything monitoring from one place :-) Mark

"643m means 0.643 Adam." Thank you for the response, Adam. That makes sense, but numbers like 291.59m do not. Should I just assume that anything with an m is less than zero?

SVN Update doesn't seem to update observium
by Lorenzo Zafra 10 Mar '17

10 Mar '17

Hello All, I submitted a patch and it was commited in r8368, but when I run svn update to r8428 I dont get any of the changes. Anyone know whats wrong? We are running the subscription edition, if that matters. I checked to see if I would get the patch when creating a new copy of observium through [svn co ... ] and yes it worked fine. -- [image: Edmonton_sig_RGB_S.jpg] Lorenzo Zafra COMMUNICATIONS ENGINEERING STUDENT ENGINEERING & MAINTENANCE CITY OPERATIONS | EDMONTON TRANSIT 7 <(780)%20442-5021>80-944-0419 OFFICE 7 <(780)%20668-1302>80-885-3696 MOBILE l <matthew.dyck(a)edmonton.ca>orenzo.zafra(a)edmonton.ca City of Edmonton D.L.

question regarding traffic accounting
by Ross [Eve IT] 09 Mar '17

09 Mar '17

Hello all, I'm using traffic accounting for multiple interfaces and have noticed a strange occurrence. The graphs seem to be be producing the wrong time in the graphs. See attached; [image: Inline image 1] If you notice the top right corner, 2017/03/08 03:15:04 It's Tues 7th here 5:15pm. The server clock is synced NTP. Is there something I've missed here ? Observium 17.3.8420 (rolling) Debian Wheezy. Ross.

Logs for LDAP
by David Haché 09 Mar '17

09 Mar '17

Hi, I have been using observium for a while and I am pleased with it. Now when I try to integrate LDAP, I can't find the logs to troubleshoot. I activated LDAP and it connect correctly, the query looks good but no go. Log from my LDAP server [06/Mar/2017:16:41:55.102124385 -0500] conn=255138 op=1 SRCH base="cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=domain,dc=com" scope=2 filter="(&(objectClass=posixaccount)(uid=dave))" attrs=ALL Does anyone have suggestion how to activate the loggin for ldap on the PHP / NGINX / Observium side? Thanks. Dave

Windows Processor Numbers are Odd
by Don Maker 09 Mar '17

09 Mar '17

I got observium working almost exactly how I want it, but I have an issue with Windows cpu numbers. The graph looks fine (I think), but the numbers are weird. The max numbers look like a percentage, but the now and Avg show odd things like 640.5m I have no idea what that means. Also, the processor is never identified properly. I would happily change to wmi for Windows devices, but I'm not sure how that is done, or if it is stable. Does anyone have any suggestions or experiences with wmi and observium? Thanks!
