Frontpage custom mini graphs
by Wiethoff, Helge 19 Aug '23

19 Aug '23

Hi, I've been using the minigraphs [1] on the front page for quite a while and they haven't had to be changed for ages. But now I want to insert some new graphs and realise that this no longer works? Could it be that the documentation is old and that the creation of new minigraphs is no longer supported? regards Helge [1] https://docs.observium.org/config_options/#custom-mini-graphs

Fwd: Memory plots are mislabeled or incorrect in Observium
by NGS Webmaster 18 Aug '23

18 Aug '23

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: NGS Webmaster <ngs.webmaster(a)noaa.gov> Date: Fri, Jun 30, 2023 at 12:34 PM Subject: Memory plots are mislabeled or incorrect in Observium To: <observium-subscribe(a)lists.observium.org> Hello, The memory plots appear to be mislabeled in Observium. Below is a plot for one of our systems. [image: image.png] It reports that 32.19GB of memory is being used and that 5.67GB of memory is cached. However when I run the free -h command on the system the values for these fields are different. [image: image.png] This makes it difficult to accurately monitor the memory usage and setup accurate alerts for memory usage for systems. Can this bug be fixed? Our version information is below. [image: image.png] Thank you

Hi, r12899 makes unix-agent not being polled. Doing svn update -r 12898 makes things good again. My servers are mostly Debian. Made it work again (partly) with ($os = 'linux'): observium:/opt/observium# svn di includes/definitions/os.inc.php Index: includes/definitions/os.inc.php =================================================================== --- includes/definitions/os.inc.php (revision 12899) +++ includes/definitions/os.inc.php (working copy) @@ -350,6 +350,7 @@ $config['os'][$os]['mibs'][] = "SWRAID-MIB"; //$config['os'][$os]['mibs'][] = "NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB"; // moved to discovery $config['os'][$os]['realtime'] = 15; +$config['os'][$os]['modules']['unix-agent'] = 1; $os = "dss"; $config['os'][$os]['text'] = "Open-E DSS"; Secondly - applications and packages are disabled on the device - can not activate application only packages.
