CollectD Integration - Graphing
by John Macleod 07 Oct '11

07 Oct '11

I'm looking to customize the CollectD graphs, specifically for the DNS plug to overlay the Rcode and Qtype data, similar to the CollectD plugin example: http://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/Plugin:DNS Could anyone point me in the right direction on this? The current graphed output isn't very useful.

CDP Neighbours
by Bruce-Young Majola 06 Oct '11

06 Oct '11

Hi, I have just noticed that the Neighbours option has disappeared under the Ports Tab for some of the devices we monitor via Observium; this looks to have happened after upgrading to version 0.11.10.2654. Is it something to do with my upgrade or is there something broken. The issue is that some do display the Neighbours Option on the same version so I am at odds about what is wrong. By the way, I have not disabled CDP on these device so that is not the problem. Regards, Bruce DISCLAIMER: The information in this message is confidential and may be legally privileged.

Dell OMSA
by John Macleod 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

I am curious what attributes of Dell's OMSA snmpd integration are polled by Observium? Pre OMSA install the host was identified as Generic, post OMSA install/SNMP SMUX integration it polls the model correctly but nothing else. Hardware is a PowerEdge 1950 III. Some quick googling suggests that the OIDs for PE 1950, 2650, 2950, etc are not the same - although temp, voltage, fan, etc should be available, and is via the OMSA interface. Thought I would reach out to any fellow Dell + Observium users. Thanks, John

95th Billing is inaccurate
by Mahomed Hussein 03 Oct '11

03 Oct '11

Hi We are having some more trouble with 95th billing. It seems that even on clients who are using very little (or nothing at all as they aren't using the ports yet) are showing an over usage on their 95th. Is there an easy way to correct this? Will I have to clear the database to fix this? I've pasted a screenshot below. [cid:image001.png@01CC7E96.2D3405C0] Any help will be sincerely appreciated.

graphs directory empty
by Doug MacKintosh 29 Sep '11

29 Sep '11

Folks, So my graphs directory is empty. Thinking that this may be path issue (given that I have all the required supporting software installed), can someone tell me (a) what program generates the output that will go into the graphs directory and (b) which PHP scripts call that program? Thanks... Doug

23 Sep '11

Hi, I upgraded to the latest version of Observium (0.11.9.2550) and now the Cisco ASA traffic graph in the overview tab is showing "Error Drawing Graph". However when I hover the mouse over the graph area I can see the correct graphs in the pop-up window.

Anyone else have this problem? Suggestions will be received with appreciation. Thanks... Doug
