Eventlog incorrectly says interface circuit attribute has changed on every poll
by Corwin Ziegler Hunts 26 Feb '25

26 Feb '25

We have some very long interface aliases (130 characters). The Observium parsed circuit ID is 66 characters but it appears to be limited to 64 characters somewhere. The annoying part is every time the device is polled a message is written to the eventlog saying the circuit ID has changed, showing the parsed circuit ID and a truncated version of it. We don't need the character limit increased (although that would be nice); we want the constant (incorrect) eventlog messages to stop (without changing the configured interface alias). (For those curious, the long circuit IDs are for circuits made of up several segments chained together from multiple providers.) Corwin

Owning alerts
by FRANKS, Andy (THE SHREWSBURY AND TELFORD HOSPITAL NHS TRUST) 12 Feb '25

12 Feb '25

Hi, This might have been asked before, apologies if so. Is it possible somehow to assign ownership of raised alerts? We operate a largish support function and have noticed people are suppressing alerts they think other people are working on, sometimes erroneously. Having notes or a ownership assignment of a raised alert might help sort this. Thanks!

TBOX - SNMP line not have index part"

Hello, I try to add a new os and a new mib in my Observium. The device is a TBOX from Ovarro. The device is old so the bulk mode does not work. I managed to add custom OID. I managed to get metadata but sensors and status do not work because ".

Unexplained alerts for array controller
by eey＠pml.ac.uk 03 Feb '25

03 Feb '25

We've got a pair of new alerts for a Dell file server having several attached drive arrays. One alert clearly refers to the array controller; it is not clear to what the other refers, other than that it is storage-related. These alerts are: Drive ID 4 storage 3h 17m 52s ago alert fail Drive Controller PERC H730P Mini (Embedded) 3 storage 3h 19m 5s ago alert fail These alerts appeared immediately after starting the Systemd service dsm_sa_datamgrd, which had failed for an unknown reason. I believe this service runs an agent for the Dell OpenManage monitoring portal. Even after the restart of this service, that portal is reporting that it cannot communicate with the system. The iDRAC for this system reports no faults, and all relevant lights on it are green. The system appears to be working, in that the files it serves are available as normal. Do you have any ideas how to take this investigation forward? I see that a similar thread https://lists.observium.org/hyperkitty/list/observium@lists.observium.org/m… was opened nearly a year ago, but this did not receive any responses.

MIB integration

Hi, I am not able to correctly detect OS and use MIBs for Bridgetech probes... would you be willing to integrate them? I thought that sysDescr Bridgetech probe might be sufficient to identify this but I might be wrong as this particular virtual appliance is running on linux - they also have dedicated HW appliances. ___ _ _ / _ \ | |__ ___ ___ _ __ __ __(_) _ _ _ __ ___ | | | || '_ \ / __| / _ \| '__|\ \ / /| || | | || '_ ` _ \ | |_| || |_) |\__ \| __/| | \ V / | || |_| || | | | | | \___/ |_.__/ |___/ \___||_| \_/ |_| \__,_||_| |_| |_| Observium Professional 24.12.13796 https://www.observium.org ##### Starting discovery run at 2025-01-31 09:45:09 ##### ##### name [78] ##### +-------------+-----------------------+ | OID | | +-------------+-----------------------+ | sysDescr | Bridgetech probe | | sysObjectID | .1.3.6.1.4.1.24562.10 | +-------------+-----------------------+ o OS Type generic o OS Group unix o SNMP Version v1 o Last discovery 2025-01-31 09:38:00 o Last duration 2.69 seconds ##### Module Start: os ##### -- S pozdravem Ing.

Time rules for contacts
by noc＠green.ch 19 Jan '25

19 Jan '25

Hi all, We are encountering the following issue and would like to request a new feature to address it. Problem: We have several alert checkers, such as "interface down," configured with time-based conditions for office hours (08:00–18:00) and with "send recovery notification" option enabled. This results in a recovery message being sent at 18:00, even if the interface is still down. Proposed Solution: To resolve this issue, we suggest moving the time restrictions from the alert checker to the contact settings. Specifically, we propose adding the ability to configure time and weekday restrictions directly in the contact settings (e.g., for email contacts). These settings could mirror the time and weekday conditions currently available in alert checkers. For example: Time: between 08:00 and 18:00 Weekdays: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 This feature would allow us to better manage notifications and avoid unnecessary recovery messages outside office hours. Thank you for considering this request, and we look forward to your response. Best regards, Raphael
