Custom OID Metric Conditions
by Brandwatch NOC 22 Aug '18

22 Aug '18

Hi, The attached image shows some custom OIDs I have set up to monitor Juniper QFX VCP link status. These work fine and I see the custom graphs (gauges where state 1 = link up, state 0 = link down). The last bit I need to figure out is how to alert on them. I think I'm 90% of the way there. You can see the custom OIDs in the top browser window. In the bottom browser window, I'm unsure how to refer to the custom OIDs in the "conditions" bit. Any help gratefully accepted - I've got this far without bothering anyone but I've fallen at the last hurdle. Thanks!

Show ink levels for Ricoh printers
by Simon Mousey Smith 21 Aug '18

21 Aug '18

Hi All This is a message to ask people can they try these SNMP OIDs in the link below on there Ricoh printers? We have a few Ricoh printers that just show SOME SPACE in observium and would love to see values! I discovered this link by accident and they appear to be working on our few printers! Currently using the printer-mib only reveilles -3, -2, -1 which isnt helpful... But the link below uses ricohs private mib which appears to work! https://github.com/librenms/librenms/issues/4177#issuecomment-241957542 <https://github.com/librenms/librenms/issues/4177#issuecomment-241957542> If they work for others, could the wonderful amazing observium team implement these oids into the existing checker to show stats :) Regards Simon - Hestor Ltd

Hi all, maybe this is a FAQ, but still I can’t find a way to avoid seeing ALL customer devices down, from the outside, if the firewall only is down. I think that it would suffice to define a rule to mask a device status behind a “master” one. Best Luca

Then you can upgrade it and in case of troubles you can simple restore the data from backup (directory or full backup of the system). So you will only loose data that got collected between upgrade process and restore process.

I am not able to login in web interface after new install observium CE 17.9.0
by Cesar Vazquez Moreno 16 Aug '18

16 Aug '18

Hello, After install observium Community Edition 17.9.0 in Centos 7 and Nginx, I am not able to login for first time using web interface. The adduser script added correctly the admin user (also I created 3 more users) with level 10. The weird is there is not record of the action in any log. I did research and found similar issue about 5 years ago where the problem was the disk or partition was full, this is not my case, my / filesystem is 47% and /temp filesystem is 2%. other possibility is the session_start() can have troubles to write, but without log it's only a guess. I want to try set session_save_path() just before session_start() to see if this solve the issue. if you think my idea can work, in what file where should I put the variable? What do you think? any other idea? -- Regards Zague

Slow page generation when using group permissions
by Christian Eriksson 13 Aug '18

13 Aug '18

Hi, When using user level 1 permission with group permission, page generation is very slow. I have a total of 447 devices, where group X has 225 members When a user with permission to group X logs in, the frontpage takes 24s to load(using status_summary/map/syslog/eventlog/). Clicking on a device takes 22s. When an admin logs in, the "same" frontpage takes 0.6s to load Anyone got any tips? Fast userspace caching might work but I just wondered if there is something else to it Observium 18.8.9366 (10th August 2018) OS Linux 4.4.0-130-generic [amd64] (Ubuntu 16.04) Apache 2.4.18 (Ubuntu) PHP 7.0.30-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 (OPcache: ENABLED) Python 2.7.12 MySQL 5.7.23-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 (extension: mysqli 5.0.12-dev) SNMP NET-SNMP 5.7.3 RRDtool 1.5.5 (rrdcached 1.5.5: unix:/var/run/rrdcached.sock) Fping 3.13 (IPv4 and IPv6) Regards Christian

FortiSwitch Ports Query
by Matthew Goeres 06 Aug '18

06 Aug '18

Hi, I recently upgraded from one of the turnkey appliances to Observium running in a VM on its own running Observium CE 17.9.0. Since that upgrade my queries for ports haven't been completed against my main FortiSwitch. Looking at the poller times the ports module seems to be taking the longest (ports/1,562.4587s/156.25%). Debugging that on the fortiswitch I am seeing the following queries and very high CPU usage on the FortiSwitch (124D running 3.6.6). Is there a way to disable that query specifically rather than ports as a whole? snmpd: <msg> 49 bytes xxxxx:8089 -> xxxxx/xxxxx:161 (itf 32.32) snmpd: checking if community "xxxxx" is valid snmpd: checking against community "xxxxx" snmpd: request 1(root)/32/xxxxx == comm 1/0/0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 snmpd: matched community "xxxxx" snmpd: get-next: OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.17.7.1.4.3.1 : dot1qVlanStaticEntry .4.1964 -> (snmpd: get_last_index_dot1qVlanStaticTable() snmpd: get_dot1qVlanStaticEntry() fld:4 ) -> 0 snmpd: </msg> 1 snmpd: <msg> 49 bytes xxxxx:17885 -> xxxxx/xxxxx:161 (itf 32.32) snmpd: checking if community "xxxxx" is valid snmpd: checking against community "xxxxx" snmpd: request 1(root)/32/xxxxx == comm 1/0/0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 snmpd: matched community "xxxxx" snmpd: get-next: OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.17.7.1.4.3.1 : dot1qVlanStaticEntry .4.859 -> (snmpd: get_last_index_dot1qVlanStaticTable() snmpd: get_dot1qVlanStaticEntry() fld:4 d) -> 0 snmpd: </msg> 1 Thanks, Matt

Hi, In general when using RHEL you have to become proficient at finding lots of non-ancient packages.

Hi guys, I'm getting alerts for high disk usage for some of my servers. The alerts are false as my actual partition disk size is 9.6T and total disk size is 9.9T. [cid:image002.jpg@01D42CDC.F7960BA0] [cid:image001.png@01D419E5.810487F0] In the Observium.org FAQ I can see the this issue is known for volumes >16TB, but looks like it's the same from 10TB. I'm running Net-SNMP 5.5 on Centos 6.9 and I was trying to find a later release but couldn't. is 5.7 supported only on Centos 7? [cid:image004.png@01D419E6.3963EED0] Thanks!

Is building groups broken? Can't get it to work.
by Henrik Cednert (Filmlance) 03 Aug '18

03 Aug '18

Hello Running 18.8.9360 (3rd August 2018). Noticed that “groups” have gotten a sweet ass looking upgrade! =))) Nice one! But I have issues when building the groups. Thought it had to do with the “,” and “|” as separator, since that seems to have changed under the hood. So I tried to recreate an old rule and make the new one just like the old one. But when building it i end up at a blank page with the "Building groups memberships” heading. Nothing happens and when I refresh the page no sensors are in the group. Am I missing something? Picture of the old working group and the new one I made. What did I do wrong? [cid:6BC76FC6-6363-4298-A519-392F95B7C800] Old working rule. “|” as separator of hostnames under “association ruleset” but “,” once you enter the edit mode. Is this expeted behaviour? [cid:7E5BC9FB-7903-4C44-9913-9EAAE8A360C9] Cheers and thanks -- Henrik Cednert / + 46 704 71 89 54 / CTO / Filmlance Disclaimer, the hideous bs disclaimer at the bottom is forced, sorry. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Disclaimer The information contained in this communication from the sender is confidential.

multiple pollers and poller-wrapper history

Hi, Is it possible to see graphs under /pollerlog/view=wrapper/ for each poller when using poller-wrapper with -g option?

Hi guys, Hope someone here can shed some light on my issue with rrdcached and observium. I am using a distributed setup with web/sql/poller on separate machines.

Use attributes as attributes. You probably don't want to create permanent alert table entries just for this, and it's not time critical. Using attributes to match these non-valid descriptions, an alert table entry would only be created when it's necessary, and then you can just use an unrealistic metric condition to make it always trigger. adam. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Klimek, Denis" <DKlimek(a)Stadtwerke-Norderstedt.de> To: "'observium(a)observium.org'" <observium(a)observium.org> Sent: 2018-07-26 15:01:55 Subject: [Observium] ifAlias Description notmatches multiple wildcard issue >Hi all, > > > >I would like to setup a alert checker which checks configured Ethernet >ports if there is a “valid” Observium port description configured.

QNAP up / down every second poll

26 Jul '18

Hi All after upgrading a QNAP Device from 4.3.3 to 4.3.4 SNMP works every second poll. Event Log is full with things like: 2018-07-25 12:40:02 nas01 Device status changed to Up 2018-07-25 12:35:08 nas01 Device status changed to Down (snmp) How can I further troubleshoot this? It used to work before for more than a year. Thanks Basile

clearing a "Status Warning and Notification" status on unmonitored object?
by Darrell Budic 25 Jul '18

25 Jul '18

Is there a way to clear the status or data from something I don’t want to monitor anymore? I have a server that I installed bird & bird-snmp on, so observium properly discovered the BGP peers, including a couple of down sessions. Because I don’t want to monitor that on this instance, I went into the hosts settings and disabled the bgp poller and bgp discovery. It no longer updates those statuses, but the down peers are still showing up in the Status Warnings and Notification section on my home page, and the peers are still listed as routing info on the host (out of date now). Hopefully there’s something that can be done besides deleting and re-adding the host to clear those out? Thanks, -Darrell

Syslog suppress

Even by stating the following rule in config.php $config['syslog']['filter'][] = 'action=pass'; I still see messages with the intended phrase inside: id=firewall time="2018-07-25 12:36:32" fw="xxxxxxxxxx" tz=+0200 startime="2018-07-25 12:36:31" pri=4 confid=01 slotlevel=2 ruleid=53 srcif="Ethernet3" srcifname="prod" ipproto=tcp dstif="Ethernet0" dstifname="wan1" proto=ssl src=xxxxxxxxxxx srcport=32827 srcportname=ephemeral_fw_tcp srcname=xxxxxxxxxxxx srcmac=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx dst=xxxxxxxx dstport=443 dstportname=https dstname=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx dstcontinent="eu" dstcountry="ie" modsrc=xxxxxxxxxxxx modsrcport=32827 ipv=4 action=pass msg="Early ChangeCipherSpec" class=protocol classification=0 alarmid=312 target=dst logtype="alarm" This doesn't apply to every message containing the specified string, only to a few of them. Perhaps a message length issue? Best Luca

Hi, Is there an option create a zoomed in 'home page' where you can set a specific size of the map? For example, we have our entire county now displaying on the homepage on the map but we would like to see a city only so that we can display this city onto a separate monitor of us. Kind regards, Ricardo Franco Cantero

New record?

Hi guys, just wanted to show the new Observium I deployed for a customer this week :) Everything polled from one single server without problems (pollingtime is about 140s for all devices) Big thanks to Mike who helped me identify and fix a scaling issue when running a huge amount of threads. (if you run an Observium-install that runs poller-wrapper with 100+ threads you should check out r9333) /Markus

This works fine, but i have a VM which has additional filesystems (one local and some via NFS), and they don't show up what shows up is: / /boot /var/lib/docker/overlay what doesn't show up (but exists) is: /var/lib/samba/profiles /mnt/nfs/dept1 /mnt/nfs/dept2 VM OS: Debian 8 Version of net-snmp: 5.7.2.1+dfsg-1+deb8u1+b1 I didn't do any changes to the snmpd.conf on the VM rather than SNMPv3 authentication settings. Does somebody have any hint for me how to fix this?

Hi Brian, you configured syslog daemon complete at same way in Pro as in CE? You use rsyslog daemon? How to debug syslog receiver (for rsyslog): 1. In Global Setting Edit -> Syslog -> Enable Syslog DEBUG 2. Validate that rsyslog daemon have permissions to write into logs dir: $ ls -l /opt/observium | grep logs 2.a Simple is add write permissions for all: $ sudo chmod 777 /opt/observium/logs 3. restart rsyslog: $ sudo service rsyslog restart 4. Now see debug.*.syslog files in logs dir: $ ls /opt/observium/logs/*.syslog When syslog msg from host received, here will added file: debug.<host>.syslog Where <host> is received hostname by rsyslog daemon, in your case this <host> must be complete same as device hostname in observium server. Inside this log files you will see full syslog messages like this: [2018/03/21 17:51:32 +0300] syslog.php(5563): <host>||4||6||6||sshd[9497]:||2018-03-21 17:51:32|| Received disconnect from 221.194.47.239 port 36596:11: [preauth]||sshd Here also <host> entry as first part of message.

Syslog Integration
by Brian Hilmers 20 Jul '18

20 Jul '18

Hello, Our organization recently upgraded from the Community version to Professional. While using the Community version on Ubuntu 16.04 we found syslog integration worked well and setup was easy following the documentation. After purchasing a subscription, we installed Observium on a new Ubuntu 16.04 machine, but cannot get syslog integration to work. I have configured the target machine to send syslog messages to Observium and, using tcpdump, can confirm the Observium server is receiving messages on the correct port from the target with FQDN. However, the Observium web interface show "no syslog entries." What is the best way to diagnose and fix this problem? Brian Hilmers

Alert checker for high memory usage on Linux
by Paludan, Ulrik 17 Jul '18

17 Jul '18

I'm trying to setup a high memory usage alert on Ubuntu Linux hosts. I'm using type entity mempool_perc in alert test 'mempool_perc greater 90'. However mempool_perc reports all memory used, including cache/buffer memory used by Linux, but still available to be released for applications as necessary. So my alert checker generates false alerts as soon as memory usage including cache/buffer exceeds 90%, which it does quit often on most of my servers. How can I setup a memory alert checker for available physical memory below a certain threshold? Observium online guide states: 'On Unix/Linux systems we generate a special "Physical Memory" memory pool entity by calculating memory usage minus buffer and cache. Use this for alerting on Unix/Linux' But not really sure how to use that entity? Is the entity name 'Physical_Memory', does it return result in bytes, percentage ?

Windows 10 Auto Discovery
by Connary, Scott 17 Jul '18

17 Jul '18

Good day: I am working on getting our windows environment set for auto discovery. It is working for our switches once we enable LLDP and have the correct SNMP setting in place. With Windows 10 I am having no luck in having them auto discovered. I can manually add a windows workstation to Observium via the add feature. When looking at devices in Observium I can see that a switch sees the workstation NIC via LLDP. However it only sees it as a MAC and provides no further information on the system itself. Windows 10: 64Bit Symantec Endpoint Protection AV SNMP Enabled and properly configured. LLDP looks to be on in NIC features. LLTD does not stay on under Windows Services. Thank you, Scott

Alert association including all devices with recent version
by Thibault Richard 15 Jul '18

15 Jul '18

Hello The "Entity Association Ruleset" has been recently modified On this screenshot you can see both type ("Memory usage" use the old syntax with "Device & Entity" . while "Device down" use the new syntax) My question is simple . as we are obliged to associate an "Alert check" to devices, how are we supposed to specify "All devices" ? It's indeed no longer possible to specify * I've achieved my goal by specifying "device.ignore notequals 1" but this is not intuitive at all. Is there an easier way to do it ? Best Regards Thibault

Alerts table not refreshed after discovery

Hi, We observed the following behavior with Observium Subscription Edition 18.7.8339. We have a alert checker define on used pourcentage on file systems. Previously, if we add a filesystem to a server, a new entry entry in the alert table associated with this alert checker was created. It seems to be not the case anymore. Note that the new filesystem is reported as found in the event log and that the monitoring part is working perfectly. Regards, Fabrice

Graphs are showing 13MB throughput on a 6MB link

Best practice for "Port Down"?
by Eric W. Bates 12 Jul '18

12 Jul '18

I quite like the idea that Observium notes "down" ports; however, in my case, most are false-positive in that they belong to users who power down after hours. Our normal port description for an unallocated port is "NXC" (No Xross Connect) to the "Ignore Ports by ifName/ifDescr" and that has helped. In a perfect world, I want to monitor all ports which interconnect between our switches, and all ports in the Data Center; but ignore everything else. Can I put a negated RegExp in "Ignore ports by ifAlias Regular Expression" instead? Thank you. -- Clark 159a, MS 46 508/289-3112

Problem with time range showing graph

Hi all, i'm using Observium in our company, we start suffering a problem when we try to show a graph in a defined time frame, the result is like that the time frame selected and the graph are different time frame, for example I select From: 2018-07-10 09:03:5 To: 2018-07-10 10:11:56 but the graph show starting 11:00 ending 12:10 like the attached image, and if I try to select a time-frame ending in this moment, the graph is empty, i suppose because the real time-frame used will end in the future.

No Alert Notification
by David Ross 11 Jul '18

11 Jul '18

I'm attempting to setup an alert notification that would get engaged only if SNMP and ICMP were down, so I've setup a device-down alert that is based upon the below two conditions. device_status_type snmp 0 device_status_type ping 0 I also have "Require all conditions" selected within the Alert Checker Conditions. When SNMP condition is met, Observium does mark the device as down and does not send a notification, as desired. However, when both conditions are met, Observium marks the device as down but does not send a notification. What am I missing? Regards, *David W.

how to avoid false-positives (device down/up), on HPE switches and Aruba APs

Hi Observium: 18.1.9011 (stable, subscribtion) We are monitoring our networking infrastructure with Observium and for a long time, i am seeing some false-positives. The poller period is 5 minutes and i.e. on 10:00am Observium reports a switch beeing down, where at 10:05am it reports it as beeing up again. This happens to HPE network gear (switches) as well as to wireless APs (Aruba). I set |$config['ping']['debug'] = TRUE; ||$config['ping']['timeout'] = 500; ||| |in config.php and will now monitor if that helps. Is there anything else i can try to solve this issue?| Best, Thomas -- Thomas Stather IT Services VCP4, VCP6-DCV Tel: +49 6221-486 628 Fax: +49 6221-486 561 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Max Planck Institute for Medical Research (MPImF) Jahnstrasse 29, 69120 Heidelberg Germany

SQL Query
by Andrew Lemin 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

Hi Adam, Hope you are well. Just a quick question about the Observium database schema. I need to write a simple query that will return a list of device names and the IP addresses which Observium uses for its polling (we don’t need or want any other addresses). I had a look and found tables ‘devices’ and ‘ipv4_addresses’. And I can see the device_id foreign key etc, so obtaining all the IPs for a device is trivial enough. But I am not sure how to best filter for just the IP which Observium uses for polling. I recently built a DNS zone for our network team using PowerDNS, and I just need to export all the devices and their management IPs from Observium, so I can inject the records into PowerDNS. So nothing fancy, but we have a couple hundred records.. Kind regards, Andy Lemin

Cisco ADSL port only shows one speed
by Tim Bates 03 Jul '18

03 Jul '18

Hello experts.... I have 2 Cisco routers with ADSL ports. Observium is showing the low (outbound) speed on these ports, however I am more interested in the higher (inbound) speed. When we have line problems, the outbound speed generally doesn't change much (maybe by a few kbps), but the inbound can drop from ~7mbps to under 1mbps. This drastic inbound speed change is what I'd like to monitor, graph and get alerts on... Is there a way to get the other speed to show instead (or in addition)? I can see the Cisco ADSL MIB listed, and enabled, but this is obviously not enough. I can't see any other obvious settings, and Google was not my friend on this one. TB

Graphs for Juniper SRX Showing incorrect speed spike

Hey All, I have a weird issue with some interface graphs for a SRX240H where it will show the speed spiking to 10+GB/s on a 1GB/s port and for the life of me, I can't figure out why. https://pasteboard.co/Hss2xMm.png Observium I think is polling the 32 bit OIDs, but the webUI says it is 64bit Polling with Cacti shows correct traffic on both 32 and 64 bit OIDs - https://pasteboard.co/Hss2agw.png I also see a similar issue with a SRX110H where the VDSL interface (which is hard capped to 12MB/s) is showing 50+MB/s which is not possible. https://pasteboard.co/Hss2kcf.png Not sure how else to debug this, I have a feeling that this might be an issue within Observium, but advice appreciated. Devices are: Juniper SRX240H JunOS 12.1X46-D72.2 (Internet Router) Juniper SRX110H2-VA JunOS 12.3X48-D55.4 (Internet Router) Version Information *Observium CE* 17.9.0 (25th September 2017) *OS* Linux 3.10.0-862.3.2.el7.x86_64 [amd64] (CentOS 7) *Apache* 2.4.6 (CentOS) OpenSSL/1.0.2k-fips mod_fcgid/2.3.9 PHP/5.6.36 *PHP* 5.6.36 *Python* 2.7.5 *MySQL* 5.5.56-MariaDB (extension: mysqli 5.5.56-MariaDB) *SNMP* NET-SNMP 5.7.2 *RRDtool* 1.6.0 Thoughts on fixing / troubleshooting appreciated Have tried deleting devices and re-adding, beyond that, not sure what else to do.

9304 issues
by Joey Stanford 01 Jul '18

01 Jul '18

Hi, Overnight the update script brought us to 9304 and the schema up to 378. Immediately after, all of our devices when down and alerts went out. The problem was that the poller script SQL call was failing because it was looking for status = 1 and all of our boxes were in status = 0. poller couldn’t find the host even though the hostname matched hostname in devices. I did an “ update devices set status=1 where `disabled`=0; “ and poller started again but I’m sure something else it at play here. Joey

Alert-check "down device" doesn't report devices down
by Thibault Richard 30 Jun '18

30 Jun '18

Hello I've something strange with a basic alert checker I've defined a basic alert-checker to check if my devices are down The test condition is device_status equals 0 I know it works because I already had some working case. I'm astonished because I have a case with devices shown as down : . but not reported by the alarm-checks The device is a Dell EqualLogic PS4210 Do you know what my mistake could be ? Best Regards Thibault

Moving Data to new build
by Barry George 29 Jun '18

29 Jun '18

How/Can you move data (graphs, device information etc) from one Observium build to another new build? I have been evaluating a Turnkey Linux CE build of Observium adding some devices etc. We like it and have purchased a license for the PE edition. I've been having little success moving the Virtualbox hosted version to ESXi 6.x for production. So I was thinking of installing a new build ontop of Debian 9. Can I move our Vbox hosted data over or do I just suck it up and start again? Thanks, Barry

Disabling arp-table discovery module
by Klimek, Denis 28 Jun '18

28 Jun '18

Hi all, I would like to globally disable the arp-table discovery module. I already tried $config['poller_modules']['arp-table'] = FALSE; in config, but this is for the "poller modules" and not discovery modules. In the global discovery module web gui section there is no option for it.

SNMP + Ping Alerting
by David Ross 25 Jun '18

25 Jun '18

Hello! I would like to setup an alert-checker that would send a notification only if a device is not reachable via both SNMP and ICMP. Is there documentation that explains specifically how to do this? Thanks! *David W.

Minor issue with data obtained vs displayed.
by Ron Marosko 25 Jun '18

25 Jun '18

Howdy Adam et al., Just a minor issue that I've noticed. I'm doing WMI polling of my Windoze boxen, and it's generally working well. The information is getting fetched properly, and being displayed properly. However, I've got a few instances where I see the wmi component of the poller is fetching information properly (case in point my personal workstation): ##### Module Start: wmi ##### WMI Poller: Windows version updated: 10 Pro Insider Preview (10.0.17692) Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5680 @ 3.33GHz o Module time 5.3163s But when I view the device overview page, I get the normal non-WMI indication of "Unknown Processor Type". Pointers on where to look? SQL db? Thanks, Ron -- Ron Marosko, Jr. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Alerting on Bandwidth
by Joey Stanford 24 Jun '18

24 Jun '18

Hi Gang, I’m hoping someone can point me to the best answer for this… I can’t use network weathermap on my Observium server. I do need to monitoring available bandwidth on ports. Many ports on many of the 100 routers have different available bandwidths (e.g. our shot from one mountain to another might have a 100M ifspeed but due to the 30 mile link the actual throughput is 15M). I have some ideas: 1) use alerts to specify the router and port which is cumbersome (using ifInOctets_rate and ifOutOctets_rate) 2) query SQL directly and write a program to parse and display 3) Something I haven’t tested, just use the generic rule I have written and modify the ifspeed on the appropriate ports to what the actual bandwidth is. Any suggestions? Thanks, Joey

APC PDU values
by Pedrosi, Derek G. 21 Jun '18

21 Jun '18

Not sure when this started (2 weeks ago?), but my APC PDUs (model AP8641) are alerting sensors on several banks. I checked the output values on the PDU and they are correctly reported BOTH on the PDU and in Observium. The issue lies at what Observium thinks the thresholds should be set to. On the PDU the thresholds are correct (16 warn and 20 max). But Observium is reporting the thresholds as 1.6 and 2 [cid:image001.png@01D40879.39B4EB10] Doing a discovery debug on the device I see this... [cid:image003.jpg@01D40879.D14D5C00] I feel that the SCALE value is being wrongly applied to several of the values, namely: rPDU2BankStatusCurrent.1 rPDU2BankStatusCurrent.2 rPDU2BankStatusCurrent.3 rPDU2BankStatusCurrent.4 rPDU2PhaseStatusCurrent.1 rPDU2PhaseStatusCurrent.2 Regards, derek

Unable to create Device type alert checkers
by Neal, Christopher 20 Jun '18

20 Jun '18

Hello, We are suddenly unable to create new alert checkers for the device type in our observium instance. When the checker is created and we rebuild no machines are associated to the alert checker. We have a previous device up/down alert checker in place that still works but we are unable to add new devices to it. Other checkers such as storage can be created and seem to work fine. Any help would be appreciated. Best, Chris

/opt/observium/mibs/DO NOT MODIFY THE CONTENTS OF THIS DIRECTORY breaks my AIDE config

Any chance we could get this changed to "DO_NOT_MODIFY_THE_CONTENTS_OF_THIS_DIRECTORY" instead? It breaks our Ubuntu AIDE config and I haven't found a workaround for it not being an AIDE expert. I've tried sed'ing it out in the Debian auto-configlet (/etc/aide/aide.conf.d/31_aide_observium) but that ends up breaking more things. -- [exegy-wrb-121x52] S.

Troubleshoot/Debug Geolocation?
by Mailing Lists 14 Jun '18

14 Jun '18

Hi Guys, Is there a way to troubleshoot/debug the geolocation system? I thought we were using Google, and it reports that's what is configured, but it seems like in reality the lookups are using Yahoo? Perhaps the Google query is failing due to an issue with the API key, but how could I check this? I couldn't see anything obvious in the normal poller or discovery debugs for geolocation? Screenshot from a device that makes me thing something isn't working Thanks, Tim C
