stopping queued alerts
by Edvinas K 10 Jan '18

10 Jan '18

Hello, Recently we had a case when network infrastructure went down, and only after some time we fixed it. Observium noticed it and everything was OK. But in meantime of fixing it - Observium started to flood with alerts - this may be the correct case. But after we repaired the network - and everything was OK, we still had a flood of old errors and it continued about an hour or so. I tried to disable email alerts through config.php, supress all alerts through WEB interface - but nothing helped. So is there any manual way to stop the Alerting queue ? Thanks

Re: [Observium] Missing ethernet port when monitoring Synology NAS
by Adam Armstrong 10 Jan '18

Monitoring interfaces is about as industry standard as it gets. If we're not picking up a port, it's because your device is bizarrely not exposing it. Have you tried walking the ifTable and seeing if it's present?

exclude or skip wildcard match for poller and discovery
by Richard Wigzell 10 Jan '18

10 Jan '18

Hello, We are currently running Pro r8993 with 650+ devices and will be adding another 400 or so shortly, to support this we will try a deployment as described in some detail by Markus: http://blog.best-practice.se/2017/10/scaling-observium-horizontally.html We do however also have another edge case to deal with in the form of an infrastructure that we cannot look into but can send out of, the inhibitor is political and not technical. We are halfway to solving it technically however by using a poller remotely with wildcard host name matching as the 'remote' stuff has a common domain part. Our other 'normal' pollers however need to be told to exclude or skip polling / discovery of the remote devices. Can a wildcard skip or exclude be added to the poller-wrapper script for this purpose? Picture attached for reference.

Missing EngineID
by Alberto Busso 09 Jan '18

09 Jan '18

Hi all, I am a new user of observium and I am doing some tests with few devices before deploying it on a wider network. When I try to add my first device (with -d option), it only partially works. In the log I have only this error: CMD[/usr/bin/snmpget -v2c -c *** -Pu -OQv -m SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp 'udp':'172.16.192.102':'161' snmpEngineID.0] CMD EXITCODE[0] CMD RUNTIME[0.0324s] CMD EXITDELAY[10ms] STDOUT[ No Such Object available on this agent at this OID ] SNMP STATUS[FALSE] SNMP ERROR[#1000 - Failed response] So, it seems I am not getting the EngineID object. Then at the end of the log I have this: SQL[INSERT INTO `devices` (`hostname`,`sysName`,`status`,`snmp_community`,`snmp_port`,`snmp_transport`,`snmp_version`,`os`,`snmpEngineID`,`location`,`sysContact`) VALUES ('172.16.192.102','Terlapini RB Sottotetto','1','public','161','udp','v2c','routeros','','Gussago','Elsy')] SQL RUNTIME[0.04079700s] Devices failed: 1. So, it seems that the script will try to add the device but with an empty EngineID field. The result is that the device is added (e.g. I can see it in the device when accessing e.g. via web interface, but when I click on it, it does not show up in the list with a reply that there are no devices matching the search criterias). I also noticed that if I try to add a second device with same EngineID problem, the SQL INSERT will fail with ' duplicate key' error. I have the impression that the EngineID is used as a unique key in the SQL DB and if it is empty this may cause problems. Am I right? In this case, I have to understand why I cannot get the EngineID from the device. Tnx Alberto
