Hi, I'm assuming print-menubar-custom.inc.php allows you to add custom menu items to the menu bar. How does it work? I cannot seem to find any documentation regarding its functionality. Regards, Michael

checkmk windows agent
by Dennis Kruyt 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

Now there is coming more and more support for the unix agent in Observium, I was wondering will there also be coming support for windows agent? This is not much different then the unix agent, so very easy to implement. http://mathias-kettner.de/checkmk_windows.html Cheers...

Upper case letters?
by Dan Draghici 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

Hello, I`ve installed observium and it works great so far but I have a small issue. I see that it automatically makes the device names into lowercase letters. For example if you type "CoreRouter" it will end up showing as "corerouter". Is it possible to make the names with uppercase? I have a rather large network and having the names of the devices show up with uppercase would really help when browsing through observium. Thanks, Dan D.

Another integration question...nfsen
by Morgan McLean 23 Jul '12

23 Jul '12

I don't think I'm being as retarded with this one. Sorry if I am. nfsen running for a single firewall cluster at the moment, cfw.sv.domain.com. I can view nfsen's interface and see all of the data etc, so I know my netflow is working properly and nfsen can run reports on it etc. I get cannot generate graph when going to the nfsen tab directly via url options, it does not show up in tabs list otherwise. Is there something major here I'm doing wrong? IE smokeping I pointed to png files instead of RRD files :). I've tried temporary universal read write etc for testing purposes, didn't help. I tried using the nfsen_suffix option at first, but ended up ditching that and spelling out the entire hostname under nfsen to eliminate a possible trouble spot. nfsen output on start: [root(a)netmon01.ops bin]# ./nfsen start Starting nfcapd:(cfw_sv_domain_com)[7154] Starting nfsend. Directory, rrd file: [root(a)netmon01.ops live]# pwd /opt/nfsendata/profiles-stat/live [root(a)netmon01.ops live]# ll total 2860 -rw-rw-r-- 1 netflow apache 2687848 Jul 22 18:35 cfw_sv_domain_com.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 netflow apache 14727 Jul 22 18:35 flows-day.png -rw-r--r-- 1 netflow apache 18817 Jul 22 18:35 flows-month.png -rw-r--r-- 1 netflow apache 16145 Jul 22 18:35 flows-week.png -rw-r--r-- 1 netflow apache 17712 Jul 22 18:35 flows-year.png -rw-r--r-- 1 netflow apache 20324 Jul 22 18:35 packets-day.png -rw-r--r-- 1 netflow apache 19281 Jul 22 18:35 packets-month.png -rw-r--r-- 1 netflow apache 19349 Jul 22 18:35 packets-week.png -rw-r--r-- 1 netflow apache 18379 Jul 22 18:35 packets-year.png -rw-rw-r-- 1 netflow apache 258 Jul 22 18:35 profile.dat -rw-r--r-- 1 netflow apache 15728 Jul 22 18:35 traffic-day.png -rw-r--r-- 1 netflow apache 19764 Jul 22 18:35 traffic-month.png -rw-r--r-- 1 netflow apache 15163 Jul 22 18:35 traffic-week.png -rw-r--r-- 1 netflow apache 17352 Jul 22 18:35 traffic-year.png observium config: $config['nfsen_enable'] = 1; $config['nfsen_rrds'] = "/opt/nfsendata/profiles-stat/live/"; $config['nfsen_split_char'] = "_"; #$config['nfsen_suffix'] = ""; fqdn is under 19 char Thanks, Morgan

Ignoring down / notconnected ports
by Benedikt Sveinsson 23 Jul '12

23 Jul '12

Hi - I have not been able to find this, we started trying/using Observium for few weeks. We intend to use it mostly to compliment our current monitoring software. We are impressed with it, but the main intention is graphing and helping us troubleshooting. We are monitoring large 6500 switches and we have a number of ports that we intentionally keep in the cisco notconnected state. The front page of Observium is then riddled with the "Port Down" messages. Can this be suppressed / ignored ? I hope I'm not asking a question that has been answered many times, but google fails me here - and I'm still getting around understanding how Observium functions.

Smokeping integration
by Morgan McLean 21 Jul '12

21 Jul '12

Hi, I have a machine named techops01, I have a directory /opt/smokeping/ that is running smokeping. cache/ has the png files etc. I've tried pointing to both, readding the host, rediscovering, nothing. Additionally, smokeping does not allow "." in the host name. I saw somebody had a patch for observium to add conversion of '_' to '.' , did this ever make it into code? I haven't seen a flag ### smokeping testing $config['smokeping']['dir'] = "/opt/smokeping/cache/"; also tried ### smokeping testing $config['smokeping']['dir'] = "/opt/smokeping/"; Its not a permissions issue, its 777 now for testing purposes. Thank you! Morgan

Hello, I have been messing with Observium off and on for the last month. I noticed one of my devices is showing up under Ports > Customer Only thing I can find different for this interface is the desc has CUST: at beginning of the description. I can't find any docs on this feature.. Any someone point me in the right direction.. How to get all customer ports showing up? Thanks. Sonny
