Custom Logo with latest SVN
by Andrew Lynch 10 Mar '13

10 Mar '13

Long time listener, first time caller. I've been enjoying the SVN updates including the visual redesign. I was wondering if there is a new config option to set the logo on the new header bar. My config has the old one in place, but the redesigned bar is obviously smaller than the logo. Thanks for all the great work! I use Observium at home for all my servers. -Andy -- Andrew Lynch (KD0IOE) lurch89(a)gmail.com http://andrewrlynch.com "Scientists study the world as it is; engineers create the world that has never been." —Theodore von Kármán

Hi, I did some work for adding support for freeradius. You may find the patch at the following url: http://master.math.upatras.gr/~hasiotis/freeradius-app.diff It's working but It may need improvement on the way graphs are rendered. Please feel free to add to observium if you like it. Thanks -- Nikos

SysUptime issue
by Mike Richardson 09 Mar '13

09 Mar '13

Hiya, We've noticed that Observium is reporting that devices have rebooted even though they haven't. It's happening at the 496 day mark and so we're assuming that this is related to the 32bit SysUptime counter limitation. I noticed though that there is a section of code which says: // Use snmpEngineTime (68 year rollover) to cross-reference for false // positives in device rebooting due to sysUpTime rollover issues so I presume this ought not be happening. I can appreciate that this is a difficult one to test. Or rather, it's easy to test but has a *really* long debug cycle :-) We're currently running 0.13.2.3559. Here's the output from a device which observium recently reported as having rebooted: SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB::snmpEngineTime.0 = INTEGER: 43016530 DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (6689166) 18:34:51.66 If you want any more information just ask. Given the number of devices we have with uptimes around 496 days we can probably do a test every few days.

Poller debugging
by Jason Lixfeld 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

Hi, I've checked around for some docs on this subject but I'm coming up empty. Not sure if I'm looking in the wrong spot or if they just don't exist. I'm noticing the odd gap in all graphs for a particular device, and only that device. The two gaps in the last 24 hours seem to have lasted about 15 and 30 minutes, respectively. This is the first time I've seen these gaps on this device, but I did upgrade the code on this box last week. I'm convinced it's a software issue on the router I'm polling, but I need some ammo for the vendor. To that end, I'd like to enable some debugging that will show what the poller is reporting (or not reporting) when it hits this device. My hope is to catch something useful in the debugs that I can bring to the vendor. Any hits appreciated. Thanks!

Platform change on existing device
by Florian Hibler 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

Hi everyone, we just replaced one of our core routers and therefore changed platform from Cisco to Juniper. Whilst the interfaces got discovered correctly, Observium does not detect the change of the device/platform itself. Also the full discovery, which runs every few hours did not notice. Is there a way to rediscover a device without deleting it or will there be any feature like "platform change detected" during the full discover in future? Thanks and best regards, Florian -- Florian Hibler Chief Technical Officer eMail: florian.hibler(a)kaiaglobal.com Kaia Global Networks Limited Internet: http://www.kaiaglobal.com Company No. 08257877 Registered Office: High Wycombe, UK Notice: This transmittal and/or attachments may be privileged or confidential.

Re: [Observium] Memory requirements

It depends how big your installation is :-) Like all things, you need to scale your own installation. We now do more caching instead of repeated lookups, requiring more ram on large installs. Adam.

The Netflow collection i get, but is there any way to integrate the collection results with Observium?
