Syslog Integration
by Philippe Hurtubise 20 Oct '17

20 Oct '17

Hi, I am trying to configure syslog integration to send syslog from Windows server to Obeservium. I followed instruction on this page http://docs.observium.org/syslog/. But at the bottom of the page I am not sure what to do. Syslog-ng Make sure these options are set : options { chain_hostnames(0); keep_hostname(1); use_dns(no); }; Use this as destination in syslog-ng.conf, change syslog.php path to match yours source s_net { udp(); }; destination d_observium { program("/opt/observium/syslog.php" template ("$HOST||$FACILITY||$LEVEL_NUM||$LEVEL||$TAG||$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY $HOUR:$MIN:$SEC||$MSG||$PROGRAM\n") template-escape(yes)); }; log { source(s_net); destination(d_observium); }; Where do I add options mentioned, where is the syslog-ng.conf file and where do I add sources section. Thanks

Hi Tom, Thanks for your support. I will update my installation and let you know the results. To come back to your earlier question. The MS Teams webhook is indeed a string like this: https://outlook.office.com/webhook/35efe6c3-7319-485a-afd3-1865ffa3c4ed@3b8… I'm a bit struggling with spamfilters and this list to properly receive your replies. I only get a digest. So that's why I reply like this.

Hi all, Im trying to figure out how to build a custom oid. It doesn't matter how I put the info into the add custom oid fields. It just won't draw a graph and also doesn't give a decent response. Any idea how I should do this? [cid:image001.png@01D34828.D0C54FC0] I found this info on twitter: I use JUNIPER-COS-MIBS.

Hi there, where does the default values come from, for example this: [cid:image001.png@01D347F3.7C3B9160] Is it possible to change them, for lets say all my 3650:s, without doing it on every device? Regards Fredrik

Gettign SVN timeout error
by Josh Bierman 18 Oct '17

18 Oct '17

Hi All, I am getting an error when I go to update. Server sent unexpected return value (408 Request Timeout) in response to OPTIONS request for 'http://svn.observium.org/svn/observium/trunk' I am looking for suggestions on troubleshooting this. I have tried: Making an outgoing rule on the firewall from my Observium server to http://svn.observium.org. Opening outgoing (and therefore, returning) Ports: 80, 443, 21, 22, 8080, 3690 None of that has made a difference. I can ping the svn server from my Observium machine, I can browse to the web page, my login credentials are correct..... ideas? Joshua Bierman

by Skyler Blumer 17 Oct '17

17 Oct '17

Is there a way to set regex config based on policy or groups? I'd like to do something like .. if (hostname != "example_host"){ $config['bad_ifalias_regexp'][] = "/^$/"; }

Tables in the Observium DB
by Eric Kollmann 16 Oct '17

16 Oct '17

First, I just took over our install of this, wasn't involved in the initial setup of observium and I understand the piece I'm asking about is not part of observium, just uses the data it collects and I want to verify if structure has changed since it was released or if there is something incorrectly setup with our system. I'm looking to build out graphviz maps with the data observium has gathered, specifically using: https://github.com/kedare/observium_map_generator Going through their code, it queries the db for the links table and fails. Looking at the database I have a neighbours table, but not links. Google search I see links table discussed back in 2014, but nothing much recently. So, did the links table go away in newer versions, or is the fact that the table is missing an issue with our setup? If it is supposed to be there and missing, I'll work on figuring that out next, if it did just go away I just want to verify that. Thanks

14 Oct '17

Hello there: Just built a new system w/ CE version 17.9 on Centos 7.2 . When I create/run the following Alert Check, it shows as 'OK' for my devices: processor_usage greater 90 * * When I go to a device and view graphs, it shows a device w/ 100% CPU utilization No errors in logs/db.log. Is my syntax incorrect? Thank you.
