Hi, I try to monitor printers with snmp V3 ( for ex : RICOH MP 2554 or LaserJet 500 color M551 ) the snmpwalk works but I must specify a context name ( -n option ) How can I put this parameter in observium ( CE ) ? in the snmp "Authentication Configuration” form, there is no field for context value. thanks, jmb [UCL] [UCL] Jean-Michel Beuken Computer Scientist Software Engineer for ABINIT.ORG<http://ABINIT.ORG> and ETSF.EU pole NAPS / IMCN / SST Rue des Etoiles, 8 boite L7.03.01 B-1348 Louvain-la-Neuve ---------------------------------------------------------- Tel. +32 (010) 47 35 70 web site<http://www.uclouvain.be/jean-michel.beuken>

Problem with PoE status indicator on a HPE 5130 switch
by Thomas Stather 10 Nov '17

10 Nov '17

Hi I am having a problem with a PoE status indicator on a switch which is used in our datacenter: Observium: Observium Professional 8930 (stable) Switch: HPE 5130 48G PoE+ 4SFP+ 1-slot HI Switch JH326A This is a switch cluster containing 2 switches via IRF. Initially, PoE was only enabled on the first one but approx. 1 month ago it was enables on the second switch as well. However, the sensor "PoE group 7" (which is used for the second cluster member) shows the status as "off" with a value of 2 (whereas "PoE group 4 " is showing "on" with a value of 1 as it should be). Is this an error maybe and how can i fix this false-positive? Thanks in advance!

Observium Installscript
by Markus Klock 10 Nov '17

10 Nov '17

Hi guys, I got tired of doing the Observium setup everytime when I installed a lot of VMs so I wrote an automatic installscript for installing Observium It works for Ubuntu 14/16 and Debian 8/9 and it also gives you an option to install the unix-agent and have it monitor itself with the Apache and MySQL-app. I would love to have it tested in more environments so if you are about to install an Observium somewhere, please give the script a try. You find the script here: https://github.com/ZerxXxes/observium_installscript (please don't read the code, its a ugly mess) /Markus

generation of false alarm ?
by Edvinas K 10 Nov '17

10 Nov '17

Hello, What could be the reason of the generation of false alarm: *ALERT* Modify <http://10.13.40.217/device/device=382/tab=alert/alert_entry=7751/> *Alert* *MoreThan80PortUtilization* *Entity* *Ethernet1/51 <http://10.13.40.217/device/device=382/tab=port/port=1694030/>* *Descr* NXOS1-ITXx2 *Conditions* ifOutOctets_perc ge 80 (395649) *Metrics* ifInOctets_perc = 11 * ifOutOctets_perc = 395649* *Duration* 10m 8s (2017-11-08 02:18:10) As you coud notice the *ifOutOctets_perc = 395649 * shows some irregular value, which's not on the graphs itself, but the alarm is generated. During migration the migration period from old observium server to new one, at same time we have two observiums running, so older one have the same alerts configured - but that (older one) haven't generated any false alarm. So - waht could be the reason ? Thanks!

Multi-Site
by Ben Filippelli 09 Nov '17

09 Nov '17

Has anyone looked at setting up a multi-site with Observium or do you just setup at different locations? We have about 40 locations many are not connected via VPN because of business need. We were looking at Zenoss because it has a master/slave but really prefer observium setup and simplicity.

Delete an associated Device from an Custom OID
by Oberreiter Andreas 08 Nov '17

08 Nov '17

Hi, according to http://docs.observium.org/customoid/ there should be a delete button next to associated devices in the Custom OID List. This is not the case on my system. Am I missing something? Is there another way to delete an association? My Observium Version 17.10.8930 Kind regards Andreas Oberreiter
