High CPU alarm
by Daniel Johansson 12 Dec '19

12 Dec '19

Hi I have a synology nas with 1CPU and 4 cores in it. Whenever 1 core gets a shitload to do I get a CPU high alarm although it's not the combined cpu load that is high. Is there something I can do in the alarm checker to combine the cpu loads of all cores and trigger an alarm when all 4 combined is over for example 80% load? Regards Daniel

Is there any way to adjust the thresholds of alerts in observium? I have a few alerts that don´t seem to be an actual alert, a couple of them seem to almost be bad readings. Screenshot below. These are from HP 2920 Switches.

Hi there, We have the subscription version of Observium and have been running a batch script for a while. It was working for a while, and we let it be, a little too long! I just tried a manual upgrade. And got this, I'm sure any developer who uses svn, git, etc.. probably knows what this is, I don't :( Linux dude 4.9.0-11-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.189-3+deb9u2 (2019-11-11) x86_64 GNU/Linux This is what we were using to upgrade Observium. cd /opt/observium svn update ./discovery.php -u :/opt/observium# svn update svn: E155036: Please see the 'svn upgrade' command svn: E155036: The working copy at '/opt/observium' is too old (format 10) to work with client version '1.9.5 (r1770682)' (expects format 31).

Transferring License to New Server
by Dinuka Jayamaha 03 Dec '19

03 Dec '19

Hello, I am in the process of migrating the on premise Observium instance to AWS. I want to setup the AWS instance and run it in parallel with the on premise instance for some time to make sure that there isn't issues with the new instance. Are we allowed to run the same license on two servers at the same time or is there another way of doing this without me having to buy another license just for this purpose. Thanks, Dinuka Jayamaha

I am continuing to have issues with this config.php
by Dana Bostic 02 Dec '19

02 Dec '19

I have Active Directory authentication working but only for whatever group is "last in the list" for $config['auth_ldap_suffix']. I have a username in the OU "OUAdministrators" and another account in OU "ServerAdmin". If I comment out the line $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",ou=OUAdministrators,ou=Users,ou=BCPUS,dc=mw,dc=na,dc=cat,dc=com"; and uncomment out //$config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",ou=ServerAdmin,ou=Users,ou=BCPUS,dc=mw,dc=na,dc=cat,dc=com"; then the account in OUAdministratos no longer can login and the one in ServerAdmin starts working. If I leave them both uncommented, then the one that is last in the list works. Is there a way to have users in two OUs be used to authenticate? $config['auth_ldap_prefix'] = "cn="; $config['auth_ldap_groupbase'] = "ou=HighSecurity,ou=Groups,ou=BCPUS,dc=mw,dc=na,dc=cat,dc=com"; $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",ou=OUAdministrators,ou=Users,ou=BCPUS,dc=mw,dc=na,dc=cat,dc=com"; //$config['auth_ldap_group'] = "cn=BCPUS-Observium_access,ou=HighSecurity,ou=Groups,ou=BCPUS,dc=mw,dc=na,dc=cat,dc=com"; //$config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",ou=ServerAdmin,ou=Users,ou=BCPUS,dc=mw,dc=na,dc=cat,dc=com"; //$config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",ou=StandardSecurity,ou=Users,ou=BCPUS,dc=mw,dc=na,dc=cat,dc=com"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmembertype'] = "fulldn"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmemberattr'] = "member"; unset($config['auth_ldap_groups']); $config['auth_ldap_groups']['cn=BCPUS-Observium_admins,ou=HighSecurity,ou=Groups,ou=BCPUS,dc=mw,dc=na,dc=cat,dc=com']['level'] = 10; $config['auth_ldap_groups']['cn=BCPUS-Observium_access,ou=HighSecurity,ou=Groups,ou=BCPUS,dc=mw,dc=na,dc=cat,dc=com']['level'] = 5; [Telescope Separator] Dana Bostic Technology Specialist Caterpillar Inc. 954 NC 42 East, Clayton, NC 27527 email: bostic_dana_r(a)cat.com<mailto:bostic_dana_r@cat.com> | phone: 919-550-1260 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

Problems with Geolocation and static config of coordinates
by Daniel Johansson 02 Dec '19

02 Dec '19

Hi I have 1 site that does not show on the map even though I have cofigured it with static coordinates both via "Manual coordinates" option on the devices on that location and also tried creating a config line with the syslocation tag to put it on the same coordinates. $config['location_map']['Lulea'] = "65.5861680,22.1594800"; I can't understand why just this site has this problem and none of the other 50+ sites. Any ideas? /Daniel

Alert checkers - thresholds and grouping
by Andreas Kotowicz 29 Nov '19

29 Nov '19

Hi, I’m looking for pointers on how to implement alert checkers with the following requirements: (A) test condition: [ sensor_value greater @sensor_limit ] + buffer - the [ ] part itself works, but I need to add a buffer (offset) for some checks not to throw false positives - I’m aware of the delay option, but this doesn’t help in my case - spelling out something like "sensor_value greater @sensor_limit + 5” doesn’t work for me (B) aggregate / pool over devices -check a number of devices and only alert me if, eg. 5/10 are over specific criteria, e.g.: - check all internal PDU temperatures - if all sensor_value greater X --> alert - I know how to check each device individually: (device.device_id in 82|83|84|85|86|87|88|89|90|91|92|93|94|95|96|97|98|99 AND sensor.sensor_descr regexp internal) - how do I convert this into a “if true for all devices” statement? Lastly, I’m looking for documentation and examples on how to invoke scripts from alert checkers. The documentation appears to be quite sparse [1] in this regard. I’m especially interested on how to extract / grab additional data from observium (ie from other devices) if specify test conditions fail. cheers, Andreas [1] https://docs.observium.org/alerting_transports/
