by Bryan Fields 01 Sep '23

I'm running 23.8.12912 (2nd August 2023), svn revision 12959 on Debian 12. This is the subscription version. When I go to edit a device and then the "Applications" tab I get an error of "Oops! Something went wrong." The below is a quote of the page with the detail errors: > Cannot increment array in /opt/observium/html/pages/device/edit/apps.inc.php:116 > #0: (unknown function) called at [/opt/observium/html/pages/device/edit/apps.inc.php:116] > 111: echo('<td class="text-center">' . generate_form_element($item) .

How to filter only fibre network ports in an alert for link down?
by Thomas Stather 25 Aug '23

25 Aug '23

Hi, I want to create an alert for network ports that are down, but only associate the alert with fibre ports in our network infrastructure. I didn't find something like "ifPortType = fibre" or similar i can use. I could go with the interface speed but there could also be 1GBit fibre ports. How can i solve this?

APC Smart-UPS SRT 6000 Alerting
by Bryan Fields 24 Aug '23

24 Aug '23

Been working on getting this configured and my head around this alert. I've got it working to alert me of going on battery now, and if the batteries are marked as bad. This is specifically tested with an APC Smart-UPS SRT 6000, SKU: SRT6KXLT. I have three checks: 1: UPS on battery Test Condition: status_value eq 3 Association: Status Type in powernet-upsbasicoutput-state Device in $device 2: UPS battery needs replacing Test Condition: status_value ne 1 Association: Status Type in powernet-upsbatteryreplace-state Device in $device 3: UPS battery status Test Condition: status_value ne 2 Association: Status Type in powernet-upsbattery-state Device in $device I hope this will be helpful as I didn't see much come up in my searching before. -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net

Re: my server freaks out sometimes!

Adam, I hear what you are saying about udp flooding...there are routers (no filters) in between but no firewalls. i don't see any indication in the logs that there are udp flooding issues...also, why only every couple of months? Why not every night?

This is likely a firewall or similar intervening device being unhappy at UDP volume and rate limiting. It's likely that your discovery run starts at midnight, so increases SNMP UDP traffic. adam.

Graphs not collecting data after a route reboot
by Shawn L 22 Aug '23

22 Aug '23

After having a Cisco ASR9001 router reboot over the weekend, some graphs are no longer displaying data and new graphs have been created. Some graphs like processors, memory, etc. are populating correctly, while others like traffic and ports are empty. This router has been in observium for years. The only thing that changed was a reboot over the weekend due to a power issue. No upgrades, changes, etc. In some cases, the "old" graph for an interface is showing nothing, but a new graph for that interface seems to have been automatically created and is now showing data. Is there any way to fix this? I could probably delete the device completely and re-add it, but I hate to loose all of the historical data from it. I can post links to screenshots to illustrate thanks
