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/

request: graph number of event/alert logs
by Henrik Aarfeldt 28 Nov '19

28 Nov '19

Hi, In the event/alert log, we have a list of all events/alerts (systemwide, on a single unit, group etc) Would be nice to visualize the count in a single graph. Then we can quickly spot the date/time, when a lot of events/alerts happened. Maybe it’s already there, but I just haven’t located it 😊 -- Best regards Henrik Aarfeldt Region Hovedstaden Center for IT, Medico & Telefoni (CIMT) 2100 København Ø

Is it possible to trigger alarm from eventlog text?
by Daniel Johansson 21 Nov '19

21 Nov '19

Hi I get this in the eventlog for 2 switches and I'm wondering if it's possible to create an alarm depending on what the text in the eventlog says: Te2/0/1 Interface Down: [ifOperStatus] 'up' -> 'down' Te2/0/1 Interface is no longer encrypted In this case I want to trigger an alarm when the text "Interface is no longer encrypted" comes and do a reset of the same alarm when the text "Interface is now encrypted" comes. Is this possible to do with the alarm system in Observium today or is it something that could be implemented? Not sure I can see in snmp if an interface is encrypted or not. I haven't seen anything when I have looked for it. We use macsec in this case. Regards Daniel

Custom OID´s
by Florez, Luis 17 Nov '19

17 Nov '19

Hi everyone, I have a big doubt with de Custom OID feature in Observium, I have recently installed the CE and work fine but in my network exist a satelital node with Hughes Technology, like virtual IPGWs, CDSCP, DNCC and other proprietary devices. My question is, can I add these devices for monitoring with the feature Custom OID in the subscription edition? I already have de MIBS from the vendor, but my boss want to be sure that paying the subscription we will be able to monitorize the node. I don't have too much experience with SNMP that's why I'm asking for your help. On other tools like PRTG or OpManager I was able to monitorized the node, but since Observium is too much affordable for our company and I really have a preference for the Observium web GUI. I would like to do this on Observium. Thanks in advance.

Is there any guidance on how to define one's own species? For example, I would like to have our labels defined as "upload" as core, and so on. Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Tobias Wissen
