Alert checker for high memory usage on Linux
by Paludan, Ulrik 17 Jul '18

17 Jul '18

I'm trying to setup a high memory usage alert on Ubuntu Linux hosts. I'm using type entity mempool_perc in alert test 'mempool_perc greater 90'. However mempool_perc reports all memory used, including cache/buffer memory used by Linux, but still available to be released for applications as necessary. So my alert checker generates false alerts as soon as memory usage including cache/buffer exceeds 90%, which it does quit often on most of my servers. How can I setup a memory alert checker for available physical memory below a certain threshold? Observium online guide states: 'On Unix/Linux systems we generate a special "Physical Memory" memory pool entity by calculating memory usage minus buffer and cache. Use this for alerting on Unix/Linux' But not really sure how to use that entity? Is the entity name 'Physical_Memory', does it return result in bytes, percentage ?

Windows 10 Auto Discovery
by Connary, Scott 17 Jul '18

17 Jul '18

Good day: I am working on getting our windows environment set for auto discovery. It is working for our switches once we enable LLDP and have the correct SNMP setting in place. With Windows 10 I am having no luck in having them auto discovered. I can manually add a windows workstation to Observium via the add feature. When looking at devices in Observium I can see that a switch sees the workstation NIC via LLDP. However it only sees it as a MAC and provides no further information on the system itself. Windows 10: 64Bit Symantec Endpoint Protection AV SNMP Enabled and properly configured. LLDP looks to be on in NIC features. LLTD does not stay on under Windows Services. Thank you, Scott

Alert association including all devices with recent version
by Thibault Richard 15 Jul '18

15 Jul '18

Hello The "Entity Association Ruleset" has been recently modified On this screenshot you can see both type ("Memory usage" use the old syntax with "Device & Entity" . while "Device down" use the new syntax) My question is simple . as we are obliged to associate an "Alert check" to devices, how are we supposed to specify "All devices" ? It's indeed no longer possible to specify * I've achieved my goal by specifying "device.ignore notequals 1" but this is not intuitive at all. Is there an easier way to do it ? Best Regards Thibault

Alerts for Cumulative Throughput
by Jonathan HoSee 13 Jul '18

13 Jul '18

Hello, is there a way to setup an alert checker to be set for a certain percentage of the cumulative throughput graphs much like you can with interface capacity? Please let me know what these particular settings are. Thanks, Jon

Alerts table not refreshed after discovery
by Fabrice Charlier 13 Jul '18

13 Jul '18

Hi, We observed the following behavior with Observium Subscription Edition 18.7.8339. We have a alert checker define on used pourcentage on file systems. Previously, if we add a filesystem to a server, a new entry entry in the alert table associated with this alert checker was created. It seems to be not the case anymore. Note that the new filesystem is reported as found in the event log and that the monitoring part is working perfectly. Regards, Fabrice

Graphs are showing 13MB throughput on a 6MB link
by Anthony Polselli 12 Jul '18

12 Jul '18

Just noticed that the bandwidth graphs are not reporting the correct throughput. I.e. a 6MB T-1 link is showing 13MB on the Out. This router is a Cisco 7204VXR. I just tried updating to the current version of Observium, patched the OS, and rebooted but no change. Thoughts?
