win srv in VM not listed as srv ( rename device, it disappears from "Servers" view )
by Massimo.Sala＠asl.bergamo.it 23 Oct '15

23 Oct '15

Hi I have a Windows 2003 server, virtual, not listed under "Servers" view. We have many Windows 2003 servers, most of all as guests under Vmware ESX. One of this is listed only in the "All devices" view. To the developers : please, can you give me any insight : how does Observium decide the kind of device ? What I have to check to pinpoint the problem ? Best regards, Sala

WMI

Hi All, Trying to monitor some simple Windows Server services (Exchange, SQL). Followed the instructions here to no avail: http://jira.observium.org/secure/attachment/11319/WMIPoller-011013-1429-4.p… When I compile the package wmic never goes in the bin directory. And if I poll the servers I get no new info. Observium 0.15.10.7107 (17th October 2015) OS Linux 3.19.0-25-generic [amd64] (Ubuntu 14.04) Apache 2.4.7 (Ubuntu) PHP 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.12 Python 2.7.6 MySQL 5.5.44-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 (extension: mysqli 5.5.44) SNMP NET-SNMP 5.7.2 RRDtool 1.4.7 Thanks, Ryan Ryan Bones | [http://www.taittowers.com/logo/TAIT_Global_Logo.gif] Network Manager T | +1 717-626-9571 M | +1 717-368-7782 www.taittowers.com<http://www.taittowers.com/>

Junos Pseudowires
by Σταύρος Κρουστούρης 22 Oct '15

22 Oct '15

Hello, We (GRNET) have created a patch for observium in order to get the pseudowires to work in junos devices. How could I merge it to upstream (in case you want it of course)? -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Stavros Kroustouris - staurosk(a)noc.grnet.gr GRNET NOC WEB APPLICATION DEVELOPER - http://noc.grnet.gr -----------------------------------------------------------------------

simple api to check for hostname / IP address
by Massimo.Sala＠asl.bergamo.it 22 Oct '15

Hi Is it possible with some URL-fu or simple REST API to check if a hostname and / or IP is in Observium ? The goal is to put this check inside some bash scripts. best regards, Sala

view all interfaces listed by IP addresses
by Massimo.Sala＠asl.bergamo.it 22 Oct '15

22 Oct '15

Hi Is it possible to view all devices, listed by their interfaces' IP addresses ? It will be very useful to look-up, at a glance, where a IP address is : just click on it to open its device parent. best regards, Massimo

Feature request + issues with NetApp cDot and EMC Isilon
by Jesper Frank Nemholt 22 Oct '15

22 Oct '15

Hi Not sure if there is a better place for feature requests, but here it goes : 1. In the group option it would be great to be able to create subgroups and assign/re-assign, so different measures related to the same infrastructure or area can be kept together. 2. Currently it is not possible to rename a group. Would be nice to have this option. 3. Would be great to have some simple functions / regex related to the group graphs to allow consolidating & filtering the data further. Right now it will either aggregate/stack data depending on what it is and it would be more flexible to have some control over this. Also being able to give the aggregated data some more meaningful data labels would be nice. Some time back I asked about NetApp cDOT support....got no answer but saw on the forum that someone was looking into this several months back. Right now the cDOT support is very limited as the MIB is different compared to standard OnTAP and it allow for multiple controller pairs in the same cluster. Any news on what the status is ? Same story for Isilon, here all the server data is gathered, but with complete unawareness of the nodes being in a cluster.... so the only way to get cluster data properly recorded & presented is to create a group for all nodes and create aggregated graphs. Anyone using Observium with IBM GPFS (ESS) ? /Jesper

Re: [Observium] BGP Alert Checks
by Moerman, Maarten 21 Oct '15

21 Oct '15

https://github.com/mgmoerman/docs/blob/master/observium-alert-checkers.md There's a BGP example there. This works on both Juniper & Cisco with Ipv4 & IPv6 (there's some details on this, in a thread on this mailing list) Maarten -- Maarten Moerman | Mgr, Network Engineering | eBay Classifieds | +31-655122247 | mmoerman(a)ebay.com From: observium on behalf of Aaron Hite Reply-To: Observium Network Observation System Date: Wednesday, October 21, 2015 at 4:32 PM To: "observium(a)observium.org<mailto:observium@observium.org>" Subject: [Observium] BGP Alert Checks Team, I need some guidance. I have spent some time on the web trying to find examples of how to configure a alert checker to tell me when a BGP peer is Admin up but not working. We have quite a few peers in our environment that are Admin down and I just want to ignore those. I have tried many variations of the checker, but must be missing something. Here is a screenshot of the latest attempt. My device and entity match are set to “*”. If I change the condition or any instead of all, I seem to get alerts that are not correct as they are including peer states that are admin down. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks, Aaron

FW: Correct metrics for storage_free checker
by Hilco de Lathouder 21 Oct '15

21 Oct '15

Hi, I'd like to use the storage_free (instead of storage_perc) to get an alert if disk space is below 500 MB. What kind of units are used (byts/mb/kb/gb) ? I was thinking the rule would be like 'storage_free lt 500' if it's in megabytes. Or should i use 'gb' or 'mb' in the equation? Regards, Hilco

Observium CE / rename device, it disappears from "Servers" view
by Massimo.Sala＠asl.bergamo.it 21 Oct '15

21 Oct '15

Hi Command used : /opt/observium/rename_device.php azimuth3 srvbggwer004 Host azimuth3 renamed to srvbggwer004 I see the server under Devices | All devices, but it disappears from "Servers". Also naming back to "azimuth3" doesn't solve. Is there a database hack to place the host in the right category ? Observium CE 0.15.6.6430 best regards, Sala
