best practices regarding interface switching and historical data
by Arne Van Theemsche 10 Feb '21

10 Feb '21

Hi, I was wondering how you guys tackle the problem of changing the port of (e.g. your transit uplink) to another physical port & historical data. Since rrd's are stored under "port-<snmpid>" format, this event causes you by default to loose your historical data. Or even worse, you have to change your routing engine with a more recent version, and after replacing it seems all your snmp id's are changed. this is certainly of importance for our interfaces which have a label that automatically creates aggregates graphs. How I do this until now is copying the rrd file to the new location, but this seems so... dirty kind regards Arene

Any other persons here with same problems? Best regards, Volker

Device & bad_if_regexp
by Arrigo 19 Jan '21

19 Jan '21

Hi All. Is there a way to associate a device in /bad_if_regexp /parameter in /config.php /file? I mean: I want to exclude "GigabitEthernet0/3/4.*" subinterfaces on a specific device, but the same interface is also on other devices. My actual config.php setup is: $config['bad_if_regexp'][] = "/GigabitEthernet0\/3\/4\.[123]+/"; $config['bad_if_regexp'][] = "/GigabitEthernet0\/3\/4\.[456789][0-9]{0,2}$/"; Thanks, Arrigo.

Arista switches per-VLAN traffic stats?
by Adam Thompson 15 Jan '21

15 Jan '21

I observe (pun not intended) that on our Arista switches, unlike the Cisco NX9ks we run, Observium isn’t able to collect per-VLAN traffic stats. This is kind of a problem for us… Arista’s willing to help diagnose, but wants to know what MIB trees are being polled to gather this info. Can anyone tell me what MIBs / OID trees Observium is looking for?

by Edvinas Kairys 11 Jan '21

Hello, I see that Observium supports remote database, recently when i was thinking how to autobackup database, i came accross to the idea that i could use remote db functionality to send db data to some centralized location. Has anybode tried to use remote db for Observium ? Thanks
