dashboard - alert status widget slider missed
by Laszlo Nemeth 18 Sep '19

18 Sep '19

Hello In the latest version (r10023 - but may be it was never worked) the Alert status widget does not contain slider on the right side if the alerts are more than it fit to the widget's size. Added a picture where You can see the slider is present in the right side of the Status warning widget but missed in the Alert Status widget. The right table shows that there are more alerts than shows the widget. I use Firefox 69.0. [cid:part1.39F92109.995BC4D9@emarsys.com] Thanks Laszlo

Observium alert checker - polling when devices are unresponsive
by Benedikt Sveinsson 17 Sep '19

17 Sep '19

Hi, I'm trying to create an alert for ports which have an egress percentage over 80%. It's creating false positives for devices that are down during the poll which makes the alert logging report I'm trying to generate rather useless (see a screenshot of the Alert checker below) I tried putting device_status eq 1 into the Test Conditions and requiring all conditions, if I do that, an alert is never generated [cid:image001.png@01D56D44.F618ECD0] What is the best way to achieve this? Kind regards,

Is there plans to add more severity levels than critical
by Ármann Guðjónsson 13 Sep '19

13 Sep '19

Hi I have seen this question before but I can't find the answer. Do you have plans to implement other security levels that critical for example: info, warning, error , critical Kær kveðja/Best regards ÁRMANN GUÐJÓNSSON Enterprise Network Architect IT Operations Reykjavík Airport 101 Reykjavík Iceland Tel: +354 50 50 736 armanng(a)icelandair.is<mailto:armanng@icelandair.is> www.icelandair.com [cid:image001.png@01D569C4.1881E490] Fyrirvari/Disclaimer<https://www.icelandair.com/support/terms-and-conditions/icelandair-email-di…> [Facebook]<https://www.facebook.com/Icelandair>[Twitter]<https://twitter.com/icelandair>[YouTube]<https://www.youtube.com/icelandair>

port parsing and port descriptions
by Kenneth Friend II 13 Sep '19

13 Sep '19

I'm admittedly quite the gimp when it comes to Linux and Observium, but I'm learning little by little. I have a custom port group setup to view my VMware network ports (port name / description=VMWare:SomePort). Several of these links are actually aggregated. In the HP/Aruba world they are Trunks. As far as I know, I cannot throw a description on a virtual port / trunk in HP-land. I wonder, is there a way, without being a PHP-guru to add a particular port to a custom port group when I'm unable to provide a port description? If not, that might be a neat feature at some point.

Custom polling interval for a device group
by Thomas Stather 10 Sep '19

10 Sep '19

Hi We are using Observium Professional: 19.6.9946 (rolling) Interval for polling: 5 minutes I have the issue that some of our network equipment (HPE gear) generates false-positives frequently. It is marked as down, then at the next polling cycle up again. Is it possible to define a custom polling cycle (i.e. 2 minute) for a certain device match (i.e. "device.type in network")? Then, i could generate an alert checker for this with the "Delay" set to 1, so that these devices are scanned every 2 minutes, but only if they are down 2 polling cycles in a row, an alert is generated. Or how can i fix this issue otherwise? Best, Thomas -- Thomas Stather IT Services VCP4, VCP6-DCV, VCP6.5-DCV Tel: +49 6221 486 628 Fax: +49 6221 486 561

6500 Sensors
by Robert Williams 10 Sep '19

10 Sep '19

Hi, After no issues for ages, rather like busses, these things seem to come along at the same time!... Following a svn up earlier today to ensure we had the latest version (for a storage/snmp issue) - we now seem to have gained some sensors which are in alarm state on every single 6500 chassis. I have a really vague memory of hitting this before, like many years ago, but can't quite put my finger on it. It seems to be picking up all these new sensors (which is fine) - but one of them (clock 2 'clock-inuse') should probably be considered "false=happy" and "true=alert" - (because that means clock 1 has failed). If it helps, the new ones are all within ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB as shown above (and not CISCO-ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB which are the original ones). Some are also duplicates it seems. So, is it possible to flip the true/false alert-ness around for this Clock 2 one? Cheers! Robert Williams Custodian Data Centres https://www.CustodianDC.com

"Three months" graph annoyance
by Attila Nagy 09 Sep '19

09 Sep '19

Hi all! Is there an option to change the graph for the "Three Months" view to use the same logic to display the X axis labels as the "One Month" graph - "DoW Day Month" instead of "Week XX"? Rationale: Any metric's "Three Months" view shows the graph with the x-axis showing the week number. We find this kinda annoying, as while keeping account of and shuffling around the time, day, month, year is easy, handling the number of current week is awkward. At least here in Hungary the week number - while it is used in some places (like lottery results) -, it is mostly unused, only an interesting fact in a calendar. Thank you in advance. Best regards, Tylla

Ubuntu Storage
by Robert Williams 09 Sep '19

09 Sep '19

Hi, Only just started looking into this, but it seems that all Ubuntu 18.04 hosts which auto-update have pulled snmpd up to 5.7.3+dfsg-1.8ubuntu3.2 (from ubuntu3.1) are now no longer providing 'any' of their storage info under hrStorageEntry # /usr/bin/snmpbulkwalk -t '5' -r '3' -v2c -c *** -Pud -OQUs -m HOST-RESOURCES-MIB:HOST-RESOURCES-TYPES -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp 'udp':'target-device':'161' hrStorageEntry hrStorageEntry = No Such Object available on this agent at this OID But - after a restart of SNMPD service on the target-device, the expected response returns correctly: hrStorageIndex.1 = 1 hrStorageIndex.3 = 3 hrStorageIndex.6 = 6 hrStorageIndex.7 = 7 hrStorageIndex.8 = 8 hrStorageIndex.10 = 10 hrStorageType.1 = hrStorageRam hrStorageType.3 = hrStorageVirtualMemory hrStorageType.6 = hrStorageOther hrStorageType.7 = hrStorageOther hrStorageType.8 = hrStorageOther <...> HOWEVER - a re-discovery and poll of the device by Observium kills it immediately, and it goes back to: hrStorageEntry = No Such Object available on this agent at this OID It has impacted every 18.04 device we have which auto-updates. Anyone else seen this? Robert Williams Custodian Data Centres https://www.CustodianDC.com
