Performance
by Arnoldo Vidal Bravo 08 Jan '24

08 Jan '24

Hello, we have installed observium 23.2.12520. When the survey is carried out on the devices, there are several that indicate that the time used was 1 or 2 seconds while others exceeded 20 seconds. How could this be fixed? The devices have the same make and model. -- Saluda cordialmente

SNMP sysLocation NeDi format
by Brad Bendy 08 Jan '24

08 Jan '24

I found a post from 2014 showing the NeDi format works when using the Google API. I have tried a few different variations of it but under the location it shows a location for each device as the rack unit is different per device. Is this not supported and we should just do the physical location and not deal with the rack and rack unit or I am missing something? I thought before I had used () or [] in the location and the map parsing still worked but I don't see that in the docs anywhere. Thanks

PHP Weathermap Integration
by Adam Armstrong 03 Jan '24

03 Jan '24

Hi Guys, We added PHP Weathermap into Observium ~2 years ago, but the enabling option wasn't documented because there was an odd javascript bug breaking the UI. It turns out the bug was the same variable name being used in two completely separate bits of code, causing a clash. Typical Javascript. This is fixed now and it mostly functions, so I've unhidden the enabling option in the web-based config. $config['weathermap']['enable'] = TRUE; It works slightly differently to the original weathermap, it generates maps on the fly and is a little better integrated into the UI. It retains all of the old issues though, the weathermap code is very, very old and should not be enabled on installs untrusted people have access to. Thanks, adam. -- Sent from Postbox <https://www.postbox-inc.com/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=siglink&utm_campai…>

xinetd not supported on RHEL 9, use systemd instead
by Tony Guadagno 29 Dec '23

29 Dec '23

Hi, as xinetd is not provided for RHEL 9, I wrote a couple of systemd units to make this work. I am sure someone smarter than me could make this better, but I have confirmed this does work on any modern systemd implementation. Would it be possible to get this in the documentation so the knowledge is not lost? Here is the info: Create a new file: /etc/systemd/system/observiumagent.socket Paste this into the file: [Unit] Description=Observium Agent Socket Requires=observiumagent@.service [Socket] ListenStream=36602 Accept=yes [Install] WantedBy=sockets.target Change permissions on the file: Chmod 660 /etc/systemd/system/observiumagent.socket Create another new file: /etc/systemd/system/observiumagent@.service<mailto:/etc/systemd/system/observiumagent@.service> Paste this into the file: [Unit] Description=Observium Agent Server PartOf=observiumagent.socket [Service] ExecStart=-/usr/bin/observium_agent #User=example #Group=example StandardInput=socket Sockets=observiumagent.socket Change permissions on the file: Chmod 660 /etc/systemd/system/observiumagent@.service<mailto:/etc/systemd/system/observiumagent@.service> Reload systemd: systemctl daemon-reload Enable and start the service: systemctl enable --now observiumagent.socket That's it, of course, follow the rest of the direction on the page (UNIX Agent - Observium<https://docs.observium.org/unix_agent/>), just ignore the ones involving xinetd Thanks ) Tony Guadagno O +1 585 577 1003 C +1 585 703 6700 E tonyg(a)guadagnoconsulting.com<mailto:tonyg@guadagnoconsulting.com> [cid:image001.jpg@01D84DD6.FC9912E0]

Traffic accounting not working anymore
by Anthony Polselli 13 Dec '23

13 Dec '23

We recently built a new server with Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS and migrated Observium over. Everything seams to be working fine except for the Traffic Accounting. On the summary screen, it shows data from months ago (just before the upgrade), but when you click on one of the "bills" and look at the bandwidth graph, it's blank. I've tried adding a new bill and it same thing, no data. But if I click on the interface and go the that switch port, all the graphs are there. How can I reconnect the Traffic Accounting to pull data from the switchport graphs again? Thanks all!

units on error graphs?
by Tony Guadagno 04 Dec '23

04 Dec '23

Hi, sorry if this is obvious, but it just occurred to me that I don't understand this graph. This comes from an Ethernet port on a cisco router.... [cid:image001.jpg@01DA26BB.DFC59A20] What are the units??for example the "last in errors/s" is 44.25m???? 44.24 million? That can't be right. Thanks in advance Tony Guadagno O +1 585 577 1003 C +1 585 703 6700 E tonyg(a)guadagnoconsulting.com<mailto:tonyg@guadagnoconsulting.com> [cid:image001.jpg@01D84DD6.FC9912E0]

is it possible to disable an alert checker?
by Tony Guadagno 30 Nov '23

Hi, is it possible to disable a specific alert checker without deleting it? I am debugging an alert checker that is pretty noisy so I want to stop the alerts for a bit but I don't want to loose the work I have put into it. thanks Tony Guadagno O +1 585 577 1003 C +1 585 703 6700 E tonyg(a)guadagnoconsulting.com<mailto:tonyg@guadagnoconsulting.com> [cid:image001.jpg@01D84DD6.FC9912E0]
