traffic alert to a tunnel interface?
by Laszlo Nemeth 08 Jul '19

08 Jul '19

Hello I have some GRE tunnels without physical interface speed and theye are always in UP state. So in this case i am not able to set an alert to notify me when "ifInOctets perc le 1" or if the interface status is down. Is there any options to set up a byte/sec alert ex: i would like to get an alert if the average traffic is lower than 100 byte/sec in the last 5 mins ? Thanks Laszlo

How to exclude "virtual Memory" from an alert checker (but keep all other memory metrics)?
by Thomas Stather 04 Jul '19

04 Jul '19

Hi We are using Observium Professional: 19.6.9946 (rolling) I have set up an alert check to check our servers for fully occupied memory ("mempool_perc greater 80"). I want to include the metrics "Memory buffers", "Physical Memory", "Swap space" but i want to exclude "Virtual memory". Is there a way of doing so and if so, how?

One more question, this time about GeoCoding
by Richard Kuhns 04 Jul '19

04 Jul '19

Hello, We're running v19.6.9959. How do I tell Observium to look up the SNMP Location again for all devices? We've recently purchased an API key for google geocoding, which I've installed via the GUI. However, when I look at a specfic device --> Properties --> Geolocation, the Last updated field looks ok (2019-07-03 07:26:42) which is a few minutes after I logged into the device. Last update status, though, says: Geocoding ENABLED, try detect device coordinates: by PARSING sysLocation (API: YAHOO) - NOT REQUESTED GEO API REQUEST: QUERY DATE: Wed, 19 Jun 2019 12:16:42 -0400 It *does* work on a few devices, however, showing that it's using the Google API. Where would be a good place to start debugging this (as in, see exactly what observium is sending along with the response)? Thanks Richard J.

RHEL and Observium enterprise license
by DeBoer, Alan 02 Jul '19

02 Jul '19

Hi All, Just wondering if there is any support roadblocks if we use RHEL for our Observium installs with an enterprise license? I'm talking about scaling, feature requests, dev support...ect. We recently purchased an enterprise license and our environment is currently Debian, but we possibly need to move to RHEL. I understand Observium was developed under Debian, but I'm not finding anything in the FAQ besides some font issues that can be fixed. Thanks, Alan DeBoer

Hi, Observium is capable of showing specific informations about GPON? I.e: Number of connected ONUs on a specific GPON port. Tks, Rodrigo

Suddenly won't update RRDs anymore
by Luca Sasdelli 27 Jun '19

27 Jun '19

Hi, version 19.6.9959: all RRDs last update one week ago. Neither system log nor observium logs show any issue. /rrd folder permissions are as before. What should I check? Thanks Luca

Reports
by Christian Eriksson 24 Jun '19

24 Jun '19

Hi, Since there is no reporting in Observium, how do you get a list of devices and the metric "availability"? That value is not stored in the DB (I think), the only way is to retrieve it from the RRD files, correct? Regards Christian
