ZyXEL WLAN AP NWA1123ACv3
by Oberreiter Andreas 12 Jan '24

12 Jan '24

Hi, I have ZyXEL WLAN AP NWA1123ACv3 they are spoiling my system by creating new ports, with repeating names, every view hours. I have some APs with nearly 2000 Ports. Is there a way to prevent Observium from scanning for new ports for a specific device group. Kind Regards Mit freundlichen Grüßen Andreas Oberreiter

Hello, we have installed observium 23.2.12520. When the survey is carried out on the devices, there are several that indicate that the time used was 1 or 2 seconds while others exceeded 20 seconds. How could this be fixed? The devices have the same make and model. -- Saluda cordialmente

SNMP sysLocation NeDi format
by Brad Bendy 08 Jan '24

08 Jan '24

I found a post from 2014 showing the NeDi format works when using the Google API. I have tried a few different variations of it but under the location it shows a location for each device as the rack unit is different per device. Is this not supported and we should just do the physical location and not deal with the rack and rack unit or I am missing something? I thought before I had used () or [] in the location and the map parsing still worked but I don't see that in the docs anywhere. Thanks

PHP Weathermap Integration
by Adam Armstrong 03 Jan '24

03 Jan '24

Hi Guys, We added PHP Weathermap into Observium ~2 years ago, but the enabling option wasn't documented because there was an odd javascript bug breaking the UI. It turns out the bug was the same variable name being used in two completely separate bits of code, causing a clash. Typical Javascript. This is fixed now and it mostly functions, so I've unhidden the enabling option in the web-based config. $config['weathermap']['enable'] = TRUE; It works slightly differently to the original weathermap, it generates maps on the fly and is a little better integrated into the UI. It retains all of the old issues though, the weathermap code is very, very old and should not be enabled on installs untrusted people have access to. Thanks, adam. -- Sent from Postbox <https://www.postbox-inc.com/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=siglink&utm_campai…>

xinetd not supported on RHEL 9, use systemd instead
by Tony Guadagno 29 Dec '23

29 Dec '23

Hi, as xinetd is not provided for RHEL 9, I wrote a couple of systemd units to make this work. I am sure someone smarter than me could make this better, but I have confirmed this does work on any modern systemd implementation. Would it be possible to get this in the documentation so the knowledge is not lost? Here is the info: Create a new file: /etc/systemd/system/observiumagent.socket Paste this into the file: [Unit] Description=Observium Agent Socket Requires=observiumagent@.service [Socket] ListenStream=36602 Accept=yes [Install] WantedBy=sockets.target Change permissions on the file: Chmod 660 /etc/systemd/system/observiumagent.socket Create another new file: /etc/systemd/system/observiumagent@.service<mailto:/etc/systemd/system/observiumagent@.service> Paste this into the file: [Unit] Description=Observium Agent Server PartOf=observiumagent.socket [Service] ExecStart=-/usr/bin/observium_agent #User=example #Group=example StandardInput=socket Sockets=observiumagent.socket Change permissions on the file: Chmod 660 /etc/systemd/system/observiumagent@.service<mailto:/etc/systemd/system/observiumagent@.service> Reload systemd: systemctl daemon-reload Enable and start the service: systemctl enable --now observiumagent.socket That's it, of course, follow the rest of the direction on the page (UNIX Agent - Observium<https://docs.observium.org/unix_agent/>), just ignore the ones involving xinetd Thanks ) Tony Guadagno O +1 585 577 1003 C +1 585 703 6700 E tonyg(a)guadagnoconsulting.com<mailto:tonyg@guadagnoconsulting.com> [cid:image001.jpg@01D84DD6.FC9912E0]

Traffic accounting not working anymore
by Anthony Polselli 13 Dec '23

13 Dec '23

We recently built a new server with Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS and migrated Observium over. Everything seams to be working fine except for the Traffic Accounting. On the summary screen, it shows data from months ago (just before the upgrade), but when you click on one of the "bills" and look at the bandwidth graph, it's blank. I've tried adding a new bill and it same thing, no data. But if I click on the interface and go the that switch port, all the graphs are there. How can I reconnect the Traffic Accounting to pull data from the switchport graphs again? Thanks all!

units on error graphs?

Hi, sorry if this is obvious, but it just occurred to me that I don't understand this graph. This comes from an Ethernet port on a cisco router.... [cid:image001.jpg@01DA26BB.DFC59A20] What are the units??for example the "last in errors/s" is 44.25m???? 44.24 million? That can't be right.

is there an alert kill switch?
by Tony Guadagno 28 Nov '23

28 Nov '23

Hi, when my Microsoft servers patch monthly, they often reboot and that causes an alert that is unnecessary for me. Is there a way (maybe a script I could write) that would disable alerting? I am thinking about making a cron job that would run monthly (at the time I am patching) that would disable alerting...then maybe 2 hrs later, re-enable alerting. Is this possible?

Security Questions
by Wilkinson, Matthew 27 Nov '23

27 Nov '23

Hello, I am deploying Observium into a secured environment and I've a few questions. * What security measures are in place to protect subscription SVN branch? * Does SVN do any checksums or hashing of the code after it is checkout to the client to ensure no malicious attempts were made in transit? * Is there a contact name and email we can document in cases where we need to get direct support? * Is there a regular notification mechanism for updates to Observium? E.g. via the mailing list or blog post? In other words, how do we find out about new security patches? Thanks for any and all help. Matt

Does anyone know a way of integrating dynamic positioning into snmp? Usually you put the location in to syslocation attribute in snmpd.conf file.

WMI Polling shows only 3 services
by Scott Kohnert 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

First time posting and hopes that someone can assist. Been using Subscription version of Observium for over 10 years collecting data on over 150 server farm using it daily and have been asked to now add monitoring of Windows Services. I started to do this via Probes and SNMP checks but due to the shear volume of services and servers involved this would be a tedious process. I would like to use WMI to monitor Windows Services as it appears to poll faster. Unfortunately I ran into an issue where it only displays 3 services at a time. Windows Server has over 200 services by default, I don’t plan on monitoring all of them but at least a couple dozen. Using WMI would be a much easier way to setup alerts if I could get the full listing to appear, which is where I am needing help. Here is my setup to reproduce the issue (generalized information used for security) Follow the WMI setup in the help documentation for my UB 22.04 server Global Settings > Polling > WMI (turn on) Server discovered via SNMP Open Properties of Server and edit WMI information (per server polling only no global settings) WMI Hostname = nacn_ip_TCP:hostname.domain.local[sign] WMI Domain= domain WMI Username = username WMI Password = password After a couple of minutes, I get the results of only showing 3 services not a full list. AllJoyn Router Service Remote Desktop Service Themes I have tried this on multiple servers and the same 3 services appear each time. I began to look into the code and run the wmic query on the web server itself using the following query wmic -U “domain\username%password” //ncacn_ip_TCP:hostname.domain.local[sign] “select DisplayName, Name, State, Status from Win32_Service” It gave me the full listing results and from what I can see this is where the issue lies. CLASS: Win32_Service DisplayName|Name|State|Status AllJoyn Router Service|AJRouter|Stopped|OK Application Layer Gateway Service|ALG|Stopped|OK Application Identity|AppIDSvc|Stopped|OK … Telephony|tapisrv|Stopped|OK CLASS: Win32_TerminalService DisplayName|Name|State|Status Remote Desktop Services|TermService|Running|OK CLASS: Win32_Service DisplayName|Name|State|Status Themes|Themes|Running|OK Storage Tiers Management|TieringEngineService|Stopped|OK … The first item of the WMI services is the AllJoyn Router Service, then about halfway down the listing it produces a different CLASS:Win32_TerminalService and the headers. Then it has Remote Desktop Services and starts again with CLASS:Win32_Service and headers again, and the third entry to be displayed Themes. Looking through the code I think the issue resides in the /opt/observium/includes/wmi.inc.php code and the function wmi_parse. This is the function that is used (from what I can back trace) for performing the parsing of the WMI call and populating the database with the WMI entries. But when running the mysql query for the services listing it only shows these 3 listed and not all the services that the manual query performed on the server displays. I would like to ask if someone can look into the WMI process and check the coding to allow the WMIC query to populate ALL the service results in the web site. As a separate test I also went into the Global Settings > Discovery > WMI AutoDiscoveryOptions and added in several services manually (list of 10) not including the Remote Desktop Services and the results I get on the Windows Services tab show the Remote Desktop Services. So the 2nd CLASS that appears for this service appears to be causing the issue. Any help is appreacited.

Questions about Observium Enterprise Support
by Johan Carlander 31 Oct '23

31 Oct '23

Hi, I’ve been trying to find more detailed info about Observium Enterprise Support, does anyone here has such an agreement and can share the details? All I can find on the web page says: “Included Enterprise-grade email & live support: Yes, 10 hours” So I take it that means that up to 10 hours of live support is included, what will be the cost per hour for support after those 10 hours? I cannot find any definition of what live support is, I would guess that it means some sort of online meeting with screen sharing but it would good to have it in writing so we know what to expect. Is there any SLA for response time for new support tickets, for example within 4 hours or Next Business day? Thanks in advance.

EqualLogics Volume Monitoring
by cwager＠communicationsmuseum.org.uk 31 Oct '23

31 Oct '23

Good Afternoon, I have been setting up Observium, which I am relatively new to, and am not sure how to monitor the volumes of the EqualLogic Storage Array, Observium has detected it and provided sensors for the Physical Disk, fan, Controllers, and so on but no volumes are picked up. According to the following link, there are MIBs for this. https://mibs.observium.org/mib/EQLVOLUME-MIB/ If I SNMPWALK the OID's then I get the expected data, would it be possible for someone to advise how I may go about getting this data to be shown in Observium itself? Thanks Chris

by rhett.zeeman＠ttconnect.co.za 26 Oct '23

Hi Team, we are trying to monitor the above device. This works well. Observium can even monitor the GPON PON interfaces eg: gpon-olt1/1. The problem we are having is trying the monitor the ONU devices on site at a client. We use Raisecom ONU's. There are currently mib files available but we noticed that the mib files are empty. So it would seem that Observium cant monitor the bandwidth of the onu's behind the splitter that is connected to the pon interface. Is this something we can manually do from our side? if we have a look at the mib files in /opt/observium/mib/raisecom and vi into the mib file, it is populated.

Teams webhook debugging
by Ivo van Tulden 17 Oct '23

17 Oct '23

Dear members, After the great help with the dashboard I went of to the next part in automating, which is for us alerting through Teams. Hopefully you can help me as quickly with this as the last time. We want to use Teams Webhook function to create an alert message, which holds a couple of components. I have configured the webhook within MS Teams and setup the link with the Observium contacts. Created a alert which triggers and mentions the notification of contacts, but nothing happens within MS Teams. The problem can be with a couple of things, so I wanted to start with logging with Observium. This can probably show me if the firewall blocks, if the Webhook link was a bad URL, etc. Where can I find a debugging log of the notification actions, so I can start debugging?

Fwd: Juniper MX104 doesn't like load average graph
by David Beveridge 16 Oct '23

16 Oct '23

Last week I upgraded a server to Observium 23.10.13043 (stable) In Polling information I had a huge increase in system polling, (See attached images.) I backed out the upgrade and tried it again a few days later, when I had more time to investigate. In addition the processor graph had changed, showing much higher CPU usage I also noticed a new graph called Load Averages defined here... # svn blame /opt/observium/includes/definitions/mibs/juniper.inc.php 13020 adama // JUNIPER-MIB::jnxOperatingDescr.9.1.0.0 = STRING: Routing Engine 0 13020 adama // JUNIPER-MIB::jnxOperatingDescr.9.2.0.0 = STRING: Routing Engine 1 13020 adama // JUNIPER-MIB::jnxOperatingState.9.1.0.0 = INTEGER: running(2) 13020 adama // JUNIPER-MIB::jnxOperatingState.9.2.0.0 = INTEGER: standby(7) 13020 adama // JUNIPER-MIB::jnxOperating1MinLoadAvg.9.1.0.0 = Gauge32: 123 13020 adama // JUNIPER-MIB::jnxOperating1MinLoadAvg.9.2.0.0 = Gauge32: 8 13020 adama // JUNIPER-MIB::jnxOperating5MinLoadAvg.9.1.0.0 = Gauge32: 56 13020 adama // JUNIPER-MIB::jnxOperating5MinLoadAvg.9.2.0.0 = Gauge32: 5 13020 adama // JUNIPER-MIB::jnxOperating15MinLoadAvg.9.1.0.0 = Gauge32: 27 13020 adama // JUNIPER-MIB::jnxOperating15MinLoadAvg.9.2.0.0 = Gauge32: 0 13020 adama $config['mibs'][$mib]['la'] = [ 13020 adama 'type' => 'table', // In table mode get first entry with test condition 13020 adama 'scale' => 0.01, 13020 adama // Walks 13020 adama 'oid_extra' => 'jnxOperatingState.9', 13020 adama 'oid_1min' => 'jnxOperating1MinLoadAvg.9', 13020 adama 'oid_5min' => 'jnxOperating5MinLoadAvg.9', 13020 adama 'oid_15min' => 'jnxOperating15MinLoadAvg.9', 13020 adama 'test' => [ 'field' => 'jnxOperatingState', 'operator' => 'eq', 'value' => 'running' ], 13020 adama ]; 13020 adama I added unset($config['mibs'][$mib]['la']); // dave did this This has fixed the problem, I don't need the la graph anyway. I had tried to add this to confg.php, but that didn't work. I'm concerned that modifying the juniper.inc.php is not a good idea. Is there a better way to disable this?

Obtaining good thresholds for monitoring SFP light levels
by Corwin Ziegler Hunts 11 Oct '23

11 Oct '23

We would like to alert if an SFP's received light level is too low. The light level sensor data is present and linked with a specific port so we can adjust the alert checkers based on attributes of the linked port. What we haven't figured out how to do is get appropriate thresholds for alerting for each SFP. The SFPs define warning and alarm thresholds which are readable on the devices containing the SFPs but that data doesn't make it into Observium for most of our monitored devices as far as we can tell. Similar SFPs usually have similar thresholds so grouping by SFP vendor and part number then creating a check for each set of SFPs with manually extracted and entered thresholds could be acceptable. Observium does show the SFP vendor and part number on the device overview and inventory pages along with which port contains the SFP but there doesn't seem to be a way to reference this data when creating port or sensor groups or alert checkers. There are also the automatically generated or manually set thresholds for sensors inside Observium itself. The automatically generated thresholds are often missing and we are not aware of a way to ensure they are present or reasonable. Manually set thresholds could work if there was a way to set and audit those thresholds in an automated fashion. We don't see a way to use the API to do this though (we're using the subscription edition). Are there recommendations on how to achieve this? Is this a solved problem and we're running into a bug? This is feeling more difficult than it should be. Corwin

device_rebooted metric is now NULL instead of 1
by Corwin Ziegler Hunts 10 Oct '23

10 Oct '23

We have an alert checker using the device_rebooted metric to monitor for reboots. The metric used to read as 1 when a reboot was detected as is documented <https://docs.observium.org/entities/#device>. After updating to the latest stable revision (r13020) from r12520 the metric now reads as NULL immediately after a reboot. Is this change in behavior intended? Corwin

Hi, Thanks Adam, I am back to using Observium after many years (was on the Subscription, now on Community).. I have a question on a router (and some similar devices). The router has two interfaces, both visible from the Observium poller. It has been discovered twice, and appears twice as well on the map. I cannot find a script, or anything in the UI (which I am still exploring) or the FAQ. What should I be looking for? -- Sanjeev Gupta +65 98551208 http://sg.linkedin.com/in/ghane

sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do i read traffic graphs???
by Tony Guadagno 27 Sep '23

27 Sep '23

Hi, after several years of using Observium, it just occurred to me recently that I am not sure how to read the traffic graphs. For example, I always thought that above "0" on the horizontal axis was transmit and below was receive. But as I look closer, that cannot be. Also, the colors on the graph do not seem to line up with the legend...for example in this graph, I see 4 colors, light/dark green and light/dark purple. But the legend seems to have the same color for g0/0/0 as g0. I guess my questions are: How are transmits and receives represented on the traffic graphs? Why are the colors in the graph not lining up with the legend? What does negative 100M represent? thanks [cid:image004.jpg@01D9F11E.FB948DB0] Tony Guadagno O +1 585 577 1003 C +1 585 703 6700 E tonyg(a)guadagnoconsulting.com<mailto:tonyg@guadagnoconsulting.com> [cid:image001.jpg@01D84DD6.FC9912E0]

General Question - Raritan PDUs
by Derek Johnson 14 Sep '23

14 Sep '23

I'm curious if anyone on the listserv is using a Raritan monitored-per-port PDU? If so, would you be willing to share your experience monitoring it with Observium? We're looking at buying some monitored + switched per-port models, and I want to make sure we can graph each port individually like we can with other vendors. I assume we can, but I figured it can't hurt to ping the community to see if others have any experience they're willing to share to confirm/deny my assumption. Thank you for any info you can offer!

Need help on migration
by Anthony Polselli 08 Sep '23

08 Sep '23

Hi all, Been using Observium for many years and it's been great. But finally trying to migrate it to a new server running Ubuntu 22 (from Ubuntu 14) and it's been a struggle. I've followed these steps (https://docs.observium.org/server-migration/) but I'm not a Ubuntu / MySQL tech. I built a new Ubuntu server, installed Observium with the script and was able to login. Now, after I restore the rrd files and MySQL DB, I can't login to the web interface. I setup debug and got this below. I tried adding a new user with adduser.php and it looks like it worked, but can't login still. Thanks!

How to filter only fibre network ports in an alert for link down?
by Thomas Stather 25 Aug '23

25 Aug '23

Hi, I want to create an alert for network ports that are down, but only associate the alert with fibre ports in our network infrastructure. I didn't find something like "ifPortType = fibre" or similar i can use. I could go with the interface speed but there could also be 1GBit fibre ports. How can i solve this?

Been working on getting this configured and my head around this alert. I've got it working to alert me of going on battery now, and if the batteries are marked as bad. This is specifically tested with an APC Smart-UPS SRT 6000, SKU: SRT6KXLT. I have three checks: 1: UPS on battery Test Condition: status_value eq 3 Association: Status Type in powernet-upsbasicoutput-state Device in $device 2: UPS battery needs replacing Test Condition: status_value ne 1 Association: Status Type in powernet-upsbatteryreplace-state Device in $device 3: UPS battery status Test Condition: status_value ne 2 Association: Status Type in powernet-upsbattery-state Device in $device I hope this will be helpful as I didn't see much come up in my searching before. -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net

* Hi, I am using the pro version Observium 23.8.12912 (stable)<https://www.observium.org/> I am having an issue where over the course of 2 hours (or so) all my devices go down and then up. It claims that it missed pings but there is no issue with any of the devices. This has happened to me 2 times in the past 3 months, both times starting at midnight. When I look in the event log, I am seeing some odd things on that date: [cid:image004.jpg@01D9D4D7.42656A20] First, notice that there are a bunch of snmp timeouts which do not occur on any other day. Also, it seems that all the devices have changes...again this does not happen on any other night. After the first incident I increased the RAM on the server thinking that it was constrained, but the poller info does not look bad: [cid:image005.jpg@01D9D4D7.42656A20] I would appreciate help in determining what to look at for the cause of this. Thanks Tony Guadagno O +1 585 577 1003 C +1 585 703 6700 E tonyg(a)guadagnoconsulting.com<mailto:tonyg@guadagnoconsulting.com> [cid:image001.jpg@01D84DD6.FC9912E0]

Graphs not collecting data after a route reboot
by Shawn L 22 Aug '23

22 Aug '23

After having a Cisco ASR9001 router reboot over the weekend, some graphs are no longer displaying data and new graphs have been created. Some graphs like processors, memory, etc. are populating correctly, while others like traffic and ports are empty. This router has been in observium for years. The only thing that changed was a reboot over the weekend due to a power issue. No upgrades, changes, etc. In some cases, the "old" graph for an interface is showing nothing, but a new graph for that interface seems to have been automatically created and is now showing data. Is there any way to fix this? I could probably delete the device completely and re-add it, but I hate to loose all of the historical data from it. I can post links to screenshots to illustrate thanks

Frontpage custom mini graphs

Hi, I've been using the minigraphs [1] on the front page for quite a while and they haven't had to be changed for ages. But now I want to insert some new graphs and realise that this no longer works? Could it be that the documentation is old and that the creation of new minigraphs is no longer supported? regards Helge [1] https://docs.observium.org/config_options/#custom-mini-graphs

Fwd: Memory plots are mislabeled or incorrect in Observium

18 Aug '23

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: NGS Webmaster <ngs.webmaster(a)noaa.gov> Date: Fri, Jun 30, 2023 at 12:34 PM Subject: Memory plots are mislabeled or incorrect in Observium To: <observium-subscribe(a)lists.observium.org> Hello, The memory plots appear to be mislabeled in Observium. Below is a plot for one of our systems. [image: image.png] It reports that 32.19GB of memory is being used and that 5.67GB of memory is cached. However when I run the free -h command on the system the values for these fields are different. [image: image.png] This makes it difficult to accurately monitor the memory usage and setup accurate alerts for memory usage for systems. Can this bug be fixed? Our version information is below.

observium misidentifying Microsoft Server 2022 Standard for Datacenter
by Tony Guadagno 24 Jul '23

24 Jul '23

Update, I looked closer and Observium is doing this for other versions of Microsoft Server, not just 2022. For example, I have a bunch of 2012r2 servers that I have checked and are Standard. They are getting marked as Datacenter. Hi, I just noticed that some of my 2022 servers are listed as Datacenter Edition. When I go to those servers and look at "about pc" they list as Standard Edition(as they should be). Can you please review your OS ident for Microsoft server 2022 Thanks Tony

Question about VRFs/BGP
by Richard Kuhns 18 Jul '23

18 Jul '23

Hello, Our network engineers have a question about how Observium handles BGP sessions in multiple VRFs: > On IOSXR devices where we use mutliple VRFs, we are unable to monitor > BGP sessions outside of the global routing table. In the global > routing table only the bgp sessions to the route reflectors are > visible. We would like to also be able to monitor bgp sessions in a > different vrf. Going through the documentation we have added the > commands for IOSXR to map a context to the vrf feature - but this does > not appear to be working for bgp. We can create snmp contexts and map > them to a different community to monitor those vrfs that we would like > to include. BUT it appears that in order to utilize them we would have > to add the host twice in observium. I tried doing this with a dns > alias but it doesn't like that because it finds a conflicting snmp > hostname. As a workaround we are monitoring that context in librenms > and it's working. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. -- Richard Kuhns<rjk(a)wintek.com> Systems Administrator Wintek Powered by Tipmont Main: 765-742-8428 Direct: 765-269-8541

My HPE/3Com devices (7510, 5510, 5520, 4800) show graphs of vlan interfaces but the graph is always empty with no data. On physical interfaces collected normally. Is there any configuration that I need/can do to get the values of the vlan interfaces? Thanks. --

Overriding Alert Transport Parameters
by Milton Ngan 16 Jun '23

16 Jun '23

Is it possible to override the alert transport parameters? In particular, I want to include the ENTITY_DESCRIPTION into the summary field for Pagerduty. When I put in this line into the config.php $config['transports']['pagerduty']['notification']['request_params']['payload']['summary'] = 'ALERT: [%DEVICE_HOSTNAME%] [%ENTITY_NAME%] [%ENTITY_DESCRIPTION%] %ALERT_MESSAGE%'; I can see it in the Global Settings | Changed Dump page, but the value doesn't update in the Global Settings | Full Dump. So this seems to indicate that Observium is initializing these values after the config has been read in. Is this the case? Is there a user configurable way to change the title of the alerts?

Current Nginx config: server { listen 80; server_name uatobservium.library.vanderbilt.edu; root /apps/observium/html; index index.php; error_log /var/log/nginx/observium-error.log info; access_log /var/log/nginx/observium-access.log; location ~ \.php$ { try_files $uri $uri/ index.php; include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/observium-fpm.sock; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_intercept_errors on; fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(.+)$; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $http_host; fastcgi_param PHP_VALUE "upload_max_filesize=5M \n post_max_size=5M"; } location ~ favicon\.ico { } location ~ 404 { rewrite ^(.*)$ /\. redirect; } location ~ ^/\..*$ { return 403; } location ~ \.(js|ico|txt|gif|jpg|png|css|php) { } location ~ api/ { } location ~ rrd/ { } location = /server-status { } location / { if (!-e $request_filename){ rewrite ^(.*)$ index.php/$1/; } } } [Vanderbilt] Jamen McGranahan Associate Director of Library Technology & Digital Services, Vanderbilt Library Vanderbilt University 615.343.1614 | jamen.mcgranahan(a)vanderbilt.edu<mailto:jamen.mcgranahan@vanderbilt.edu> | https://www.library.vanderbilt.edu/ Central Library, 419 21st Avenue South Nashville, TN 37203 Pronouns: he/him/his [cid:image002.png@01D99C47.ED634FA0]
