Hello Adam, Thank you for your quick response back. Which table is used to populate the inventory section of observium? I’ll poke it a bit and see what I can do with it..

How do I get linux boxes to show up in the inventory?
by Ricardo M Meleschi 07 Apr '14

07 Apr '14

Hello again! I noticed there’s an inventory option for Observium. I’m wondering if there’s a way to get the linux boxes that are being monitored by observium into the inventory list? it’d be a nice way to keep track of things, even if I need to make manual modifications to the database. I’ve already added the serial #’s for the systems, and I was hoping that would be enough for the inventory page on observium to populate, but it wasn’t. Thanks, Ricardo

Port Properties do not work
by Marco Zberg 07 Apr '14

07 Apr '14

Hi Currently I feel stuck with an quite ordinary process, disabling of polling and alerts. Normally (on another Observium instance) we deactivate all ports with ifOperStatus=down and ifAdminStatus=down via select/update statement directy in mysql. On our affected Observium instance we have plenty of ports we do not like to poll and keep them deactivated. We have Cisco Catalyst 4507 in use, which are equipped with 400 customer ports (downstream). It is unpractical to activate them all and would overload our Observium with too may SNMP requests. We manually keep the upstream ports (10G Ethernet, Port-Channel etc.) and some specific customer ports activated. When I toggle the ports manually (yes or no) or via "Toggle All" button, it says: "Device record unchanged. No update necessary". Effectively nothing has changed and the ports are still active which should be deactivated. This problem affects the "Polling" and "Alerts" function. Maybe there is a workaround possible via manual update in the mysql DB? Currently we use Rev. 5163.

Alerts Reccomendation
by Josh Hopper 05 Apr '14

05 Apr '14

Please consider adding a feature that lets you disable alerts by location. That way when I want to disable 50 devices for down time I can in one motion rather than 50 or more. -- Sincerely, Joshua Hopper, A+ CE Network Administrator [cid:image001.jpg@01CF50CC.7166D9B0] 420 3rd Ave NW Hickory NC 28601 Office: 828-449-1839x2160 | Cell: 828-855-7565 Protect Plus Air Holdings, LLC and Affiliates, Protect Plus, LLC and Affiliates, Imagine One Resources, LLC and Affiliates, Protect Plus Surfaces, LLC and Affiliates Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail is intended only for the addressee named above.

Search Bug
by Andrej Kurlovic 04 Apr '14

04 Apr '14

Good Day Observium, I noticed one bug with Observium. Let's say I have a switch with user ports. Users are come and go, so I would like to disable alerts on them for Port Down State on the main page (see screenshot) [cid:image001.png@01CF4FDE.15C3A0F0] To do that I will go to device setting page->Ports https://observium.frontline/device/device=34/tab=edit/section=ports/ and Toggle alerts to No (see screenshot) [cid:image003.png@01CF4FDE.34DDF850] As soon as I save this, port is no longer appear in the main page as intended, but what is does as well - I can't search for the port in the search bar anymore (see screenshot examples below) Before toggle alerts off (Alerts=Yes): [cid:image002.png@01CF4FDF.27FC9640] After I toggle alerts off (Alerts=No) [cid:image004.png@01CF4FDF.27FC9640] This happens instantaneously as soon as I toggle alerts to No, and when I toggle back to Yes I can search port again. Can you please advise if this is expected behaviour? Because what I want is to disable alerts for user ports, to ensure that on the main page only alerts for important ports appear, however I still want to be able to search ports (with Alerts set to NO) using search box.
