Hi Guys, When I try to show the graph on a router interface for Traffic it comes up with a pink background with no grap. It says “Error Drawing Graph”. Does anyone know what can be causing this? Thanks.

Small feature suggestion - ports/brew/dpkg/etc collections
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 04 Feb '16

04 Feb '16

Couple of small feature suggestions - Would be nice if we could rely on a http://www.observium.org/observium-0.16.1.7533.tar.gz in parallel to the standard http://www.observium.org/observium-community-latest.tar.gz for the varius dpkg/debian/freebd/brew port collections. - Would be nice if the block in defaults.inc.php with: // Location of executables $config['rrdtool'] = "/usr/local/bin/rrdtool”; ……. $config['file'] = "/usr/bin/file”; could be overwridden by a <ROOTDIR>/config.os.php - and perhaps itself live separate from the defaults. As this allows a puppet/ansible/chef recipe (or the various ports collections) to manage this file as an OS specific thing; and keep the per system configs strictly in config.php. Making the latter the only thing to preserve across migrations (and not having to cross check it for OS specific ‘new’ things). With more and more people using things like vagrant/docker/etc - that sort of abstraction becomes useful. Dw.

Single box scalability/sizing?
by Steve Costaras 04 Feb '16

04 Feb '16

We currently have ~500 devices/50,000 ports being monitored on a dual cpu E5-2643 v0 system. It's currently running around 80% cpu (all cores w/ hyper-threading) and on a raid-10 16 drive array (sas 2.5" 10K rpm) which averages 1k iops. Most systems are polled in < 5minutes (with about 5-10 taking longer as they're fully loaded boxes). Looking to plan for future growth, I'm trying to see if anyone is running larger installations and their performance on a single box in trying to gauge if it's worthwhile to spend the $$ to upgrade to a newer V3 cpu system, or if we've effectively reached a single-point saturation limit and have to deploy distributed. I.e. do we have anyone here running say 1500 devices or 150,000 - 200,000 ports on a single system? If so, care to share your specs? Thanks. Steve

Hi guys, I have a question regarding custom OIDs feature: current approach is to have an OID and combine its values pulled from multiple hosts into one graph. Is (or will be) opposite approach possible - to combine multiple OIDs values pulled from the same host into one graph? Thanks! Regards, Pawel

Feature or bug -- 0.16.1.7533 version - naming of connected port of known device reverts to Mac address.
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 03 Feb '16

03 Feb '16

In below devices/port display - we get for Slot0/21 the connected “port” on “device”. - i.e. eth0 on Ypenburg. However for Slot0/24 we get ’10’ on <macaddress>. Even though that actual port is called ‘Slot0/10’ on ‘Fooburg’ and known to Observium. Not sure if this is intentional - or the side effect from some LLCP discovery process gone awry. Dw.

cdp neighbor and mac address questions
by Randy Mahurin 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

Hello, I've just completed a new install of Observium, version 0.16.1.7535 (27th January 2016), and have a couple of questions in hopes that someone can point me to the correct debugging process. 1) The mac address information on the port is of the port itself, rather than the connected device. We are strictly Cisco in our switching, most are 2960 variety with some 3750 and 3850 mixed in. I see in the demo software, the mac address on the port pages shows that of the client. Also, several months ago, we ran a small version of Observium (since decommissioned) and the client mac populated. 2) Auto discovery based on CDP seems really sporadic, several neighbors will be added, but some will not. SNMP settings are the same across the board and CDP discovered neighbors can be added manually without issue. Is there any chance someone has come across these before?

Some questions regarding Observium
by Jens.Altrock＠STADT-NW.DE 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

Hey guys, Have some questions I haven't found answers yet :-/ 1. Read about someone requesting checking and alerting of (os) services, is this already implemented or will it be? 2. Any chance to get to know about new community versions? Couldn't find something on website :-/ 3. Some of our switches have kind of leaks in their graphiocs (see pic on mail, from an ATI 8000GS/24POE). Not sure where this comes from, any ideas? Maybe any debug ideas? Haven't found any special events in Eventlog (except some SNMP down/up errors) Thanks fort he help, and sorry if questions are a bit dumb.

Observium impact on Juniper CPUs
by Raphael Maunier 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

Folks, Just sharing experience using Observium and Juniper EX / MX equipments. I exchanged with Adam and Juniper tac about some issues on some EX4550 having CPU at 100% with no result in solving the issue with a log of tweak in Observium / Junos . I changed the server 3 days ago, faster stronger better :) And voila , CPU dropped on all devices, with the same config.php ! The previous one was not a small server ( aka VM ) but the vm was not as strong as this one. I only had the issue with Juniper equipment not with cisco / Arista . So if you are facing the same issue ( and I exchanged with a few of you ) , you know what to do :) Raphael PS : I still have some EX4550 deleting interfaces from time to time, but I will open another thread !

VMs Tab missing
by Matt Zillmann 01 Feb '16

Hello everyone, I am having a bizarre issue with one of my hosts. I have a cluster of hosts for a VMware ESXI 6 environment and have discovered and polled them successfully. However, there is one host that is not displaying the VMs tab. Has anyone had a similar issue before? I have the latest version of the subscription edition of Observium running on CentOS7. Thanks, Matt.

Alerts for QNAP storage
by Matt Zillmann 01 Feb '16

Hello all, I am working on setting up alerting for a QNAP storage device. I have the latest version of the subscription version of Observium. What I would like is to be able to have Observium send me an email when a hard drive fails. The drives show up under the status portion of the device page. Any idea of how to set this up (if possible)? Thanks, Matt.

Re: [Observium] Bogus Sensor Alerts?

Did some tweaking. When I click on the link, this is the URL which opens: /health/metric=sensors/event=alert%2Cwarning/ Showing nothing. Same for ignored: /health/metric=sensors/event=ignore/ But when I change the URL a bit like this: /health/metric=sensors/state=Down I can see the 12 alerts (which are from a Device I ignore anyway). Changed the polling as well now so they are no longer reported. But it looks like there is a problem with the URL being created on the main overview page.

Friendly names for devices/hosts and interfaces/ports
by Juan Asensio Sánchez 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

Hi, is there any option to add friendly names to hosts and interfaces? For example, our hostnames are normalized (lx0001), so I would like to show them in Observium as pro-jboss-1, px-mysql-3, dev-apache-6, etc. and see them in all places, next to the hostname, Is this possible? The same for host interfaces, por example, eth0 or eno16780032 to be shown as "service", "management", "backend", "backup", "storage", etc. We have a paid subscription, is there any kind of development included?

Observium: Pre-auth and security questions
by Nate Mellendorf 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

Tom, Thank you for your input. This has been a bit of a learning experience for me. After researching and playing around with Apache, I was able to enable basic authentication using htpasswd. When I attempt to access Observium, I'm prompted for credentials as expected. Once I login with the creds I've configured, I land at the Observium form based authentication page. I'm trying to pass the username and password provided to htpasswd, and send them to Observium on the backend. As you noted earlier, It seems like I should be able to do this with the remote user variable. However, I can't seem to get it to work. I've listed my current virtual host config below. I enabled a2enmod headers and restarted Apache with no luck. I'm curious if you know if there's something I'm missing. I'll keep digging and working away at this, but I thought I'd provide an update to the mailing list. Other users may find it helpful if we sort it out.

This bypasses our login forms of course. I use SSO with Kerberos (AD) tickets, handled by mod_auth_kerb. We also have an http-auth backend, but I don't think that will do what you want it to. There's also a CAS backend, fairly new, I have no idea how to use it but I don't think it could work with your netscaler setup.

unset locations and missing location on drop down [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

29 Jan '16

ver: CE 0.16.1.7533 The two attached pictures show that i have 11 devices with unset location, which is strange as i've not added any equipment. when clicking on the location UNSET, i get the second picture, which is "No devices found". the other thing to note is when selecting the location drop down, it only shows up to Townsville. I have one more, Wollongong. So it appears to be showing $count locations not $count+1 (+1 for the UNSET entry) Wollongong is not listed out of alpha order. Selecting Wollongong from the Locations menu correctly shows equipment in the results, but still doesn't list Wollongong in the Locations drop down.

Sensors changing precision/scale
by Michael 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

Has anybody encountered devices that change their scale/precision whenever they feel like it? We have some that now behave this way after a recent software upgrade. We think it's a vendor bug (in this instance, Bluecoat), but might be prudent to catch the changing precision value during the poll. Currently it looks like the precision is detected once and stored in the db. Then subsequent polling is only adjusted based on the original precision value. I've attached a graph and some walks showing the behaviour...

Secondly, I also note the SNMP Statistic graphs on all devices have the same message. As I just use Observium on my home network "because I can" none of this is critical for me but I'd thought I'd pass on my observations. Thanks again for the release (my DD-WRT devices now report correctly ;-)). -- Regards, Roland PGP Key 0xDA39319B = BCF0 1214 BAE9 5A3D 46FC 21A6 360D 9398 DA39 319B

Hostname change
by Christian Gerbrandt 28 Jan '16

28 Jan '16

Hi, when I setup Observium for the first time, I used a local only DNS setup. In the meantime, we created a corporate wide DNS setup for our Lab. Old devices are still available, but obviously show up with their old hostname. Is there an easy way to change the hostname of a device? Regards, Christian

Monitor OSX system. Problem with reported size for NFS share and monitor processes
by Henrik Cednert (Filmlance) 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Hi there. Monitoring a osx "server" with observium. To get it to see the NF shares I added this to snmpd.conf: skipNFSInHostResources 0 storageUseNFS 2 This worked and I now see the shares. The large NAS is reported with wrong sizes though. Expected is this: df -ah |grep midskog filmddn:/ddnnas0/midskog 958Ti 193Ti 765Ti 21% 7479476 692520524 1% /Volumes/midskog Reported in observium is: Size: 208GB Used: 915GB Free: -707GB I actually think this could be an net-snmp bug in OSX but I'm not sure. When I snmpwalk locally I see this for that particular mount: HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageType.61 = OID: HOST-RESOURCES-TYPES::hrStorageFixedDisk HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.61 = STRING: /Volumes/midskog HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageAllocationUnits.61 = INTEGER: 512 Bytes HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageSize.61 = INTEGER: 436207616 HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageUsed.61 = INTEGER: 1920024576 Any one that had similar issues and found a solution? Next issue is that i try to monitor a process called 'nsd'. I have added it so snmpd.conf and when i walk the device locally I see it: filmserver01:snmp filmserver01$ snmpwalk -c public -v2c localhost UCD-SNMP-MIB::prTable UCD-SNMP-MIB::prIndex.1 = INTEGER: 1 UCD-SNMP-MIB::prNames.1 = STRING: nsd UCD-SNMP-MIB::prMin.1 = INTEGER: 0 UCD-SNMP-MIB::prMax.1 = INTEGER: 1 UCD-SNMP-MIB::prCount.1 = INTEGER: 1 UCD-SNMP-MIB::prErrorFlag.1 = INTEGER: noError(0) UCD-SNMP-MIB::prErrMessage.1 = STRING: UCD-SNMP-MIB::prErrFix.1 = INTEGER: noError(0) UCD-SNMP-MIB::prErrFixCmd.1 = STRING: But observium doesn't pick it up. Is this something that isn't supported or am I missing something? Cheers and thanks. -- Henrik Cednert cto | td | compositor Filmlance International Direct + 46 (0)704 71 89 54

Display of VRF's defined on a particular device in addition to globally?
by Steve Costaras 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Is there a way to display what VRF's are defined on a particular switch like you can vlans/ports/etc, in addition to globally? I'm running 0.16.17407. We have several thousand VRF's, being able to see what VRF's are actually defined on a device would really be nice opposed to having to log in each time when tracking things down. Since observium is obviously pulling this data to come up with the global view, it has to have it recorded. I think this would just be a display/parsing item? Is this something that may be included in a future version? Thanks. Steve

Problem on some graphs - Percent Utilisation

Hi everybody. I had a problem on some graph on my observium, for exemple graph Percent Utilisation of ports.

Adding a new graph
by David Pinkerton 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

Observium newbie... This maybe a question that has been answered a million time but I've not been able to find an answer. I have an Avaya 4524 switch that is not in a climate controlled environment. I wish to graph the temperature within Observium. I know the OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.45.1.6.3.7.1.1.5 and the calibration is .5 degreee. ( ie. 70 = 35 degrees) I can view this in the switches GUI and by snmpwalk. I have confirmed Observium is using the correct MIB for the device. Can someone point me to a newbie guide. (My php skills are minimal)

Alerts ifType eq ethernetCsmacd
by Joey Stanford 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

Howdy, I wanted to thank everyone for the great support on this mailing list. I have another puzzler…the last one I hope. At the bottom of https://www.observium.org/docs/alerting_examples/ there are two alerts that rely on ifType eq ethernetCsmacd For some odd reason when I rebuild they don’t want to apply to any of my devices. As soon as I change that to “*” they bring in all the devices. I went out and pulled the data on the Mikrotik router ports and they are responding with this same ifType. I checked it vis snmpwalk and also on a test router using http://ip/device/device=1/tab=port/port=1/view=data/ I’ve tried spelling out equals, wrapping ethernetCsmacd in quotes (view=data says it’s a 14 character string), and a few other things but I haven’t found the right incantation. These two entries currently match the examples and the demo server. I’ve ensured that I have non-disabled ports and non-ignored ports that should be recognized. &debug=1 reveals SELECT `alert_status` FROM `alert_table` WHERE 1 AND `alert_test_id` = '7' AND (( `device_id` NOT IN (55) AND (`device_id` != ‘' AND `device_id` IS NOT NULL))) ORDER BY `device_id`, `alert_test_id`, `entity_type`, `entity_id` DESC (not there wasn’t a LIMIT 0,100 at the end of that select like on other alerts…aside from that this select is the same as the other alerts) Anyway that select returned 0 hits despite me having well over 100 active ports with that ifType. Any suggestions on how to debug this further? Thanks, Joey

Observium: Pre-auth and security questions
by Nate Mellendorf 25 Jan '16

25 Jan '16

Tom, I overlooked that setting and made the suggested change. However, Observium still seems to prompt for credentials after I sign in with basic auth. I changed the login mechanism to http-auth as well: $config['auth_mechanism'] = "http-auth"; I'll keep working on this, and report back if I can get it working. Thank you.

frontpage is great and all but can I have a second page?

I’m looking a using Observium to generate a number of metric specific dashboards for routers and switches I have around the country. The $config['frontpage']['minigraphs']['ids’] = “<id>,<metric>,<title>”; configuration looks like it’ll give me what I want but ideally I just have those minigraphs on a page by themselves. Is there a way to define a seconds page? i.e. $config[‘minigraphpage']['minigraphs']['ids’] = “<id>,<metric>,<title>”; and have that show on a second screen? - james

device to device links
by Joey Stanford 24 Jan '16

24 Jan '16

Hi, I ran across a graphing script on github that caught my eye. It reportedly graphs device to device links in Observium (sort of like cacti + Network Weathermap). It uses a table called obserium.links which I don’t have. Google hasn’t been able to give me any leads other than, of course, the developer. I’m wondering if anyone happens to know if it’s possible to associate device ports in this manner… e.g. Device 25, port 287 links to Device 37, port 460. Today I use cacti and weathermap for this. Thanks, Joey

MySQL Agent Innodb

Hi, i am a private user of the Observium CE, and I wanted to ask If the MySQL agent will already be fixed in the ne CE release, otherwise I would happily provide a patch for the agent I made just a moment ago when I updated my MariaDB Server to 10 and the innodb query stopped working[0], since it's removed with version 10 and version 5.6.1 of MySQL[1]. If you'd want me to do that, I also would rewrite the whole agent to use mysqli instead of mysql, since it's considered deprecated for some time now[2]. with kind regards Valentin [0]https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/xtradbinnodb-server-system-variables/#h… [1]https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=63383 [2]http://php.net/manual/de/migration55.deprecated.php

Manually setting global temperature thresholds
by Joey Stanford 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

Hi, I have a bit of a puzzler and I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I’m monitoring a number of Mikrotik devices. I’m unable to set the temperature thresholds on the device. They all seem to report different thresholds despite the fact that they are all spec’d at -30c to 70c. Instead of going into each device’s settings in Observium and making a custom threshold, is there any way for me to do it in the config file? or some other way using “os eq routeros”? Thanks, Joey

ASR9k fan failures not detected?
by Robert Williams 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

Hi, I've just noticed that fan failures on the ASR 9k are not detected by Observium. In fact, it seems have nothing at all under the 'status' tab? The 6500s have over 20 entries in there for "Fan - Fail" or "PSU - Fail" or "I'm not facing magnetic north - Fail" etc. but the ASR9000 have no status tab whatsoever. Reason for noticing this; is that we have a chassis which currently has a 'Major-Alarm' failure indicator LED on the RSP, due to a failed fan tray. Observium shows the device has being 'OK' and is not seeing either the Major alarm or the fan tray failure: canb-server[151]: %PLATFORM-CANB_SERVER-3-ALARM_INDICATION : Raise alarm from CBC in slot 0/FT0/SP, alarm code CBC_ALRM_FT_LED_RED_FAILED LED Information --------------------------------------------- R/S/I Modules LED Status 0/RSP0/* host Critical-Alarm Off host Major-Alarm On host Minor-Alarm Off host ACO Off host Fail Off FAN0 FAN1 FAN2 FAN3 FAN4 FAN5 FAN6 FAN7 FAN8 FAN9 FAN10 FAN11 FAN12 FAN13 0/FT0/* (Speed) 9900 9900 9870 9780 9870 9780 9780 10080 10080 9870 9990 9900 9810 9990 (fans are now OK again) Is this a case of Cisco not exporting any of this useful (and rather critical) information properly? Would be good to graph fan speeds if they are exported. Or are other people getting these OK and it's just us with the issue? Cheers!

ModbusTCP via SNMP Gateway. Possible to monitor in Observium?
by Henrik Cednert (Filmlance) 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

Hi I have a schneider tsxetg100 ethernet gateway that has a PowerLogic PM3250 attached to it.

Proxmox
by Cody Cook 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

Hi everyone, Two things about Proxmox and my usage with Observium: Upgraded all of my Proxmox boxes except one to 4.0 from 3.4. I use zfs for all the file systems. Since switching to Proxmox 4.0, appears that snmp no longer includes the zfs volumes automatically in the SNMP reply. :( Does anyone have some suggestions on automatically showing their zfs vols in SNMP? I read a manpage for snmpd.conf but only recognized the ignoreDisk screen to manually add. Some other site said begemotSnmpdModulePath."hostres" = /usr/lib/snmp_hostres.so would be useful if I was on FreeBSD, but I am using Debian :P Another question I had is that I was reading that there is the ability to query Proxmox for VMs. Neither my 3.4 or my 4.0 box show VMs. My enable_libvirt is 1 and I use lxc+ssh and openvz+ssh in the libvirt protocols option in the config (lxc for 4.0, openvz for 3.4). I don't see anything VM. I do have tab for VMs for my vmware esxi server though. The public key from Observium is in the authorized_keys file for each of my root users on each proxmox box. What am I missing here? net-snmp version: 5.7.2.1+dfsg-1 Cody

Location
by Tibor Marchyn 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

Hi all, I don't know if it's bug, but I have set locaton on alsmost all my devices, but let's say 1 day ago it wasn't. so few of them was as Unknown location and in devices menu I saw structure like "Unknown -> unset ; Prague -> address, ... " I have fixed location and started poller and discovery. Poller got new location for each device where it was unset. But in menu I still saw structure like Devices - Locations | |- <empty string> | |-Address1 (8 count) | |-<Prague> |-Address1 (55 count) And Address1 is same for both sections because devices in both sections have same sysLocation parameter. Also doesn't matter which menu I click, I always got list of all devices with this sysLocation parameter (63 count). Also I have in config these lines to replace location with exact address and it works fine. $config['location_map']['Prague'] = "my street, Prague, Czech Republic"; $config['location_map']['Nashville'] = "us street, Franklin, TN 12345"; Do you know how to force Observium to move fixed location devices under "Prague" town and show proper count of devices? Thanks

[Observium] /usr/local/www/observium/html/includes/graphs/sensor/capacity.inc.php
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 21 Jan '16

21 Jan '16

Hmm - in -latest.tar.gz there seems to be a reference to /usr/local/www/observium/html/includes/graphs/sensor/capacity.inc.php from /usr/local/www/observium-latest/html/includes/graphs/graph.inc.php with Graph type: sensor, subtype: graph which is somehow caused by: includes/graphs/sensor/auth.inc.php not checking (unlike graph.inc.php) if such an include exists. So I wonder if that auth.inc should become: { if ($subtype == 'graph') { // Fix generic subtype $subtype = $sensor['sensor_class']; $possible_inc = $config['html_dir'] . "/includes/graphs/$type/$subtype.inc.php"; if (is_file($possible_inc)) { $graph_include = $possible_inc; }; } Dw.

Lost discover of the 'ports'.
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 21 Jan '16

We recently installed a new/parallel Observium (the old one had not been upgraded for years). The baseline is from http://www.observium.org/observium-community-latest.tar.gz as of today; with a new/fresh config.php. All fine & modern — except for the Ports on the various firewalls and switches not showing up automatically (Neither in ports or in settings; Port Properties). The ‘ports’ poller module is enable; as are POE and ports/port-stack in discovery. Any hint as where to fix/debug/dig as to understand why this is ? Thanks, Dw.

DirectoryIndex index.php
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 21 Jan '16

21 Jan '16

While at it - a small nit w.r.t to the otherwise cut-and-paste perfect: http://www.observium.org/docs/install_* pages — a config for apache DirectoryIndex index.php should be added; either global or, better, within the <Directory … blocks. As it is no longer part of most php default installs. Furthermore - if you want to be very safe on modern unixes - adding a: SetHandler application/x-httpd-php is not a bad idea; and otherwise harmless; as some now avoid this by default for security reasons.

Cisco IPSEC tunnel problem

Hi all, Attached you find the debug output of the cipsec-tunnels module. We miss some tunnels in the statistics, while they are successful up and running, Observium isn't reporting them. What I see is that the Cisco SNMP is successfully returning the information and, for example in this case, one of the tunnels is showed in the GUI. [cid:image001.png@01D15447.C82C9070] Are we doing something wrong? Or is this a bug? Regards, Bastiaan

RRDTool Output: ERROR only on overview graph.
by Arno Mooreeleme 20 Jan '16

20 Jan '16

We just added a host to observium for which the overview graph does not work. It is an cisco firewall (ASA) running in context mode, the context itself has just 2 interfaces. Both these interfaces are graphed just fine when we look at the ports. However the combined graph on the overview page just shows an 'error drawing graph'. The problem seems to be that the RRD graph is generated without any path's to the existing RRD files. As you can see in the output below there is just an empty space for where the RRD path should be. Any idea where to start troubleshooting this? Note that this is the only host, all other work just fine.

I'm running the following: Ubuntu 15.10 Observium CD 0.15.6.6430 NET-SNMP version: 5.7.3 RRDtool 1.4.3 I have updated to the latest RRDtool version 1.5.5 but then I get the draw errors. Is there anything you can provide to help. Thanks, ejw

NaN on Graphs
by Edward Weir 17 Jan '16

Hi, I've been trying to get my graphs to work but I'm still getting NaN on 'some' of my them. I have a Cisco c891fw router and interfaces g2 and g3 graph fine but the other interfaces g0, g3, g4, g5 do not graph and I get a NaN but keep in mind that I do see their traffic transfer rates. I do not get a 'draw error', just a blank graph. I'm running the following: Ubuntu 15.10 Observium CD 0.15.6.6430 NET-SNMP version: 5.7.3 RRDtool 1.4.3 I have updated to the latest RRDtool version 1.5.5 but then I get the draw errors. Is there anything you can provide to help. Thanks, ejw

Still get alerts on deleted interfaces / vinterfaces
by Pirmin Sidler - Computerline 17 Jan '16

Dear Observium members, Monitored interfaces went down on our brocade devices, then we deleted the interfaces (because we didn't use them anymore). We are now facing a bug where alerts are still up and still send Email notifications, even if Observium sees the interfaces as deleted. I have seen there is a "ignore until OK" button in the interface monitoring options but I want it out of alerts. Question: is this a bug? If yes, has it been fixed? (long not upgraded the files). Thanks! Best regards, Pirmin Sidler
