scheduled maintenance
by Tony Guadagno 30 Oct '25

30 Oct '25

Hi, I just discovered "scheduled maintenance" and it is pretty helpful, however, it seem you can only schedule a one time maintenance? Or am I missing something? It would be very helpful to schedule reoccurring maintenance....is this possible? Thanks Tony

timezone problem
by Arnoldo Vidal Bravo 30 Oct '25

30 Oct '25

hi. Yesterday, we updated to a new version of the Linux operating system, "Rocky Linux 9" and the observium version 25.10.14367 (rolling) . We adjusted the server's date and time according to our time zone (GMT-3), and the php.ini file has `date.timezone = America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires`. However, Observium is still showing UTC time. [image: image.png][image: image.png] how we sync observium with time local? -- Saluda cordialmente

Re: Observium – Network Monitoring Tools

Hi, Prices are at https://www.observium.org/resellers/ We don't have any device/node limits. 50k devices is pretty big though, they'd need to put some effort into hardware choices for a deployment that size.

Device first discovery date
by Attila Nagy 09 Oct '25

09 Oct '25

Hi Everyone! Is there a way to find out the date of the "first contact" with a device from Observium? I mean for example the date when the first discovery was run on a specific device, or something like this? (Currently the device's event log runs out after half a year.) Any ideas? Regards, Tylla

Signal Group Notification Transport?
by Bryan Fields 05 Oct '25

05 Oct '25

I read the docs, and see this isn't something that's supported at least out of the box. I have a group chat with several people in it and would like to know if anyone has a way to send a notification. I'm guessing the answer is it's not possible due to the way signal works, but it's worth asking the list if there's a way. Any thoughts? -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net

suggestion for cisco asa firewall graphs
by Tony Guadagno 12 Sep '25

12 Sep '25

Hi, I have been spending a lot of time with this graph (firewalls/graphs/firewalls/Remote Access sessions) and I am noticing something that does not make sense.. [cid:image001.png@01DC23D4.A70D0700] In this graph, you can see that I have 4 ssl tunnels and 13 lan-to-lan tunnels. Observium seems to be showing this as a stacked graph but I don't think that makes sense. When I get more sslvpn tunnels, it is bumping up the gold section which indicates lan-to-lan but it should not, lan-to-lan sessions are independent of sslvpn connections I would suggest that this should NOT be stacked....is it possible to make that change? thanks Tony Guadagno O +1 585 577 1003 C +1 585 703 6700 E tonyg(a)guadagnoconsulting.com<mailto:tonyg@guadagnoconsulting.com> [cid:image002.jpg@01DC23D4.A70D0700]

by Wiethoff, Helge 11 Sep '25

11 Sep '25

I'm experiencing an issue with the SQL schema update process and would appreciate your guidance. The schema update from version 509 to 510 is failing during the discovery process. Here's the output I'm seeing: ./discovery.php -h none -- .... 509 -> 510 # (db) (Column collations were changed from UTF-8 to Latin1 where it wasn't actually necessary)...........F. Done (6s, 1 errors). -- Done. -- Observium is up to date. Has anyone encountered this issue before? Any insights or recommendations would be much appreciated. Best Helge

Small code suggestion related to the 'remote' auth type
by Nathan Neulinger 25 Aug '25

25 Aug '25

Relatively trivial edit, but allows the "remote" auth type to have the same functionality of looking up user access levels from database that the 'http-auth' one does. Useful if you want to have a couple of admin users, but let everyone else in as a global reader only. -- Nathan diff --git a/html/includes/authentication/remote.inc.php b/html/includes/authentication/remote.inc.php index 55f9a332..85a2e690 100644 --- a/html/includes/authentication/remote.inc.php +++ b/html/includes/authentication/remote.inc.php @@ -136,6 +136,12 @@ function remote_auth_user_level($username) { global $config; + //Attempt to look user up in DB, if something found, then return it + $tmp_level = dbFetchCell("SELECT `level` FROM `users` WHERE `username` = ?
