by Adam Armstrong 10 Apr '14

10 Apr '14

Hi All, Does anyone have a Trapeze/Juniper wireless controller they'd be willing to give us SNMP read access to so we can add support for it? (similarly for other wireless controllers, but initially we're looking for Trapeze/Juniper :) Thanks, adam.

Turning off some alerts
by Luca Salvatore 10 Apr '14

10 Apr '14

Hi Been running observium for a while but with alerting turned off. I turned it on recently and got spammed with so many alerts I had to turn it off again. I can't really find how I can tune the alert setting anywhere. Can this be done via the web or do I need to go to the config files? I'm on version 0.13.9.4493, basically i only want alerts for specific things, not every single event. If i go to the alerts section there is no option to configure any thing, there is no 'add alert' button as described in this link http://www.observium.org/wiki/Creating_an_Alert_Checker Is the alerting functions only available in the current version? thanks

Hello, When we have ports in deleted status, is there an automagic process to purge those ports? Thanks, Mike

Hi All, Anyone know if these percentages are based on physical speed of the port or of they use the speed set via the "bandwidth" statement? ________________________________ Spencer Ryan | Systems Engineer Miller Canfield<http://www.millercanfield.com> 150 West Jefferson, Suite 2500 Detroit, Michigan 48226 (USA) T +1.313.496.7547 | F +1.313.496.7699 | Mobile +1.734.846.2053 ryan(a)millercanfield.com<mailto:ryan@millercanfield.com> ________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ NOTICE TO PERSONS SUBJECT TO UNITED STATES TAXATION (MCPS) DISCLOSURE UNDER TREASURY CIRCULAR 230: The United States Federal tax advice, if any, contained in this document and its attachments may not be used or referred to in the promoting, marketing or recommending of any entity, investment plan or arrangement, nor is such advice intended or written to be used, and may not be used, by a taxpayer for the purpose of avoiding Federal tax penalties. _______________________________________________________________

LDAPS Authentication
by Ellery Weber 10 Apr '14

10 Apr '14

Hey guys, I'm trying to get LDAP (through AD) authentication setup on the subscription version of Observium, and am running into some difficulties. My first question - does Observium only do a simple bind, or can it connect using SASL? We do not currently allow simple binds in our domain.

rancid multiple config/diff versions within observium
by Chip Pleasants 09 Apr '14

09 Apr '14

I have rancid working today within Observium, although I do not see multiple version ro config/diffs of the configurations like saw some time ago. I did migrate servers therefore its possible a configuration or permissions issue on the new server. On my previous server a couple months ago I was able to look at past diffs within observium. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks, Chip

It would be really nice if there was a way to export the Inventory to a CSV. This would greatly help with renewing maintenance and SmartNet Contracts for Cisco Devices.

Multiple Pollers Guidance
by Chip Pleasants 09 Apr '14

09 Apr '14

When there are multiple pollers via NFS how do they pick the devices to poll? Basically how to they not step all over each other polling the same nodes? I'm seeing snmp and ping alerts like 15 or so every hour come in that didn't come in when it was a single server solution. It does seem to be the same 20 or so devices. These particular devices do typically take around 60 sec to poll. Looking at devices that generated alerts their cpu, snmp response time, and ping time was all over the place. Meaning cpu doubled (10% to 20%), ping times went up to 200ms from 10ms, and snmp response time average when from 50ms to 556ms. I'm wondering if I was polling these devices multiple times within 5 minutes? Would this be related to NFS IO issues? I reverted back to a single solution for now. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. -Chip Config Sniplet $config['alerts']['email']['enable'] = TRUE; $config['poller-wrapper']['alerter'] = TRUE; $config['snmp']['timeout'] = 6; $config['snmp']['retries'] = 3; $config['snmp']['max-rep'] = 10; $config['fping'] = "/usr/sbin/fping -t2000";

Calculating availability
by Tom Henderson 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

Good morning list. Does anyone know if Observium is able to show the total uptime (or downtime) between two points in time? Is this be something the billing module can handle?

Ubiquiti AirOS MIB
by Robbie Wright 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

UBNT has finally released their officially supported MIB's in their most recent release. I know a few folks are lurking on this list that would love to see those MIB's officially supported and a few of us more than happy to pay for said support in Observium. Todd/Adam/Mike, an interest in taking this on as a sponsored improvement? I can send you the MIB privately if you'd like a sneak peek.
