BGP LocalAs fails on ASR9K
by André Mamitzsch 25 Jan '16

25 Jan '16

Hi, we discovered an issue with CISCO ASR9K and 4byte ASN's - the ASR return "0" when querying the BGP4-MIB parameter "bgpLocalAs". This stops observium from discovering the BGP sessions. I have done some research and found that Juniper devices seem to have a similar problem which was fixed in the polling / discovery script already. The same should be done for Cisco. The CISCO-BGP4-MIB included in Observium is somewhat outdated - CISCO introduced a parameter "cbgplocalAs" in a later version which delivers the correct result. Could you please look into this ? Thanks Andre

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
by evo 24 Jan '16

24 Jan '16

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

Arbor Network's MIBs
by Ryan, Spencer 23 Jan '16

23 Jan '16

Great to see Arbor MIB's getting updated in the SVN checkouts :) I don't monitor any of our own products, but I'm going to talk to the Peakflow guys and see if I can get access to some of the lab gear. We have at least one setup (not sure if it's TMS or SP) that gets about ~8Gb/s of anonymous traffic from a few ISPs. Should give me some useful data in Observium. Keep up the good work guys! *Spencer Ryan* | Senior Systems Administrator | sryan(a)arbor.net *Arbor Networks* +1.734.794.5033 (d) | +1.734.846.2053 (m) www.arbornetworks.com

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!

Memory graph not showing as intended.

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. I can successfully monitor this in APC StruxureWare Data Center expert but trying to get away from that solution. Observium does find and see the tsxetg100 as a generic device but I don't see the PowerLogic attached to it. Is it possible to monitor a Modbus TCP device like this through the SNMP gateway?

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 21 Jan '16

21 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

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'.

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.

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.

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.

Hello everyone, I am investigating whether monitoring/alerting a website's status is possible with Observium. Has anyone done this before? It would be a basic alert (UP/DOWN) Thank you.

Network mounts
by Franks Andy (IT Technical Architecture Manager) 19 Jan '16

19 Jan '16

Hi all, If I change ignore_mount_network=>0, should it show up cifsd based shares? I have a host reporting some back, but nothing in observium. I can't pick up windows mount points, and wondered if I could map read only via cifsd in order just to report the space free and alert. Professional version if it makes any difference. Thanks Andy.

FW: Custom OID alerting

Hi all, Like the custom oid addition, it's nice to be able to add support for some each oids if necessary. One thing I've never been able to find out how to do was get mount point support in windows for space percentages used - I can now do this, but wondered whether I could do a custom oid alert? We tend to not have the time to proactively check graphs, so an alert would be ideal. Thanks Andy

Hi I am running a couple of installs of the community edition and I like it very much. I would like to expand into suggesting Observium to our customers as a reporting and billing tool and I am wondering Is it possible to get a demonstration copy of the subscription edition of observium to show clients the reporting they can expect? Is it possible to convert an installation to/from the subscription edition or does one simply create a new installation? Thanks Anthony Anthony Parker M9 (IT) Ltd.

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

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

Observium: Pre-auth and security questions
by Nate Mellendorf 17 Jan '16

17 Jan '16

Good evening everyone, I've been trying to configure Observium with a forms based SSO solution. My reasoning for this, is that I'd like to minimize the attack surface for Observium when published to the Internet. As Observium supports groups, I thought it would be extremely beneficial for clients to view their throughput at anytime from anywhere. I was curious if anyone in the community is using pre-authentication, or if you're publishing Observium directly to the Internet. I'm not as familiar with Apache and PHP, so hardening the service through pre-auth seemed like a good first step. Unfortunately, I can't quite get pre-auth to work. Observium uses forms based authentication, which is hard to capture on the platform I'm using. Here's a link, if you're curious on how I'm trying to capture it: http://fritsesblog.blogspot.com/2015/04/link-to-netscaler-form-sso-kb.html If I could get Observium to use basic authentication, I think I could get it to work. Do we know if this is possible? A better question, is pre-auth even necessary here? Aside from HTTPS, iptables, firewalling, and locking down SSH/root, what other steps do you take to secure your Observium server? Do you think that allowing Internet access is unwise at this time? Thank you for any input on insight into this. This is a concern of mine that I'm trying to address. Your suggestions and opinions are very much appreciated. Regards, - NM

[ALERT-CHECKER] Alert to pick up on physical failure of disk.
by Henrik Cednert (Filmlance) 16 Jan '16

16 Jan '16

Hi there Have gotten some hints at IRC but can't really wrap my head around on how to set it up. Yeah, I know I'm probably stupid. But I can't find a complete list of all commands available and it doesn't complain if I feed it something invalid. So it's really a guessing game. =/ So the checker needs to do something like: if status of physical_class('storage' or 'hrDeviceDiskStorage') != 1 send alert Possible? Please give detailed instructions if possible. Would be sweet if all different possible combinations of alert checkers was added to the demo instance so once can look there for guidance. =) Cheers and thanks -- Henrik Cednert cto | td | compositor Filmlance International Direct + 46 (0)704 71 89 54

Device Bits Graphing error message

Howdy, I’m running the community edition on Ubuntu. All the graphs work except the traffic graphs (bits). I get the standard “Draw error”. I don’t get any errors polling (other than a MIB not being supported for engineID). The devices are all Mikrotik routers. I put an &debug=1 on the traffic graph URL and discovered an error all the way at the bottom: “command returned 1 (ERROR: Unused Arguments “” in command : AREA:inbits0#B6D14B:ether1-wan Rx: )" The full text is here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14490188/ It’s unclear to me if this is actually causing this one graph (on all my systems) to fail but so far there is a trend from spot checking. Any thoughts on how to debug this further? Thanks, Joey

Alert Emails sent to exchange
by Matt Zillmann 14 Jan '16

14 Jan '16

I am working on setting up alerting. I have the subscription version of Observium ( version 0.16.1.7407 [stable] running on CentOS 7). I am stuck on the email alerting piece. What settings do I need to configure in sendmail for my email alerts to get sent to my email on our internal exchange server. Anyone have any idea how this needs to be set up? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

pages slow, maybe nginx instead of apache
by Simon Smith 14 Jan '16

14 Jan '16

Hi All, I wanted a view on what people think about using nginx instead of apache for obsevium? ive just managed to change apache to nginx (had to change htaccess to get it to work, but got there in the end) and it seems a little bit quicker but not by much I’m having an issue where when the server is polling and i want a graph or load up the page, it seems slow and takes forever! ( about 10 seconds ) if I load the panel when its not polling, the pages are quick, but i poll every 5mins, and it takes the full 5 mins to poll all our devices, so really no room to wiggle... if the anyway i can speed this up? would nginx help at all? my server is virtual based, 12gb ram, 4 virtual xeon 2.2ghz cores, 80gb virtual hard drive regards Simon

it’s not “broken” in the sense that CSCO officially considers multicontext snmp the “by-design” method (and I have the TAC cases to prove it). remember, snmp *works* which means it’s for grouchy old [grey|neck]beards. netconf & shiny-api-disaster-of-the-week are supposed to rule the new agile! world! of! devops!

95th percent billing
by ChanTy 13 Jan '16

13 Jan '16

Hi, I just want to clarify the burstable rate calculation which should work as below according to wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burstable_billing#95th_percentile) : “ Bandwidth is measured (or sampled) from the switch or router and recorded in a log file. In most cases, this is done every 5 minutes. At the end of the month, the samples are sorted from highest to lowest, and the top 5% (which equal to approximately 36 hours of a 30-day billing cycle) of data is thrown away. The next highest measurement becomes the billable use for the entire month. “ Is observium applying the same calculation on BILLING feature ? Is it possible to download RAW file in which has sample of every 5 minutes ? Regards, chanty

Not receiving email notifications. Has there been a change in Alert system I need to know about?
by Richard Kuhns 11 Jan '16

11 Jan '16

Hello, I recently updated my Observium installation; I'm now running 0.16.1.7473. I haven't changed any configurations. I followed procedure, as far as I know: polling was finished, I did the 'svn up' followed by './discovery.php -u' and everything looked fine. However, I should have just received an email both when a port I'm monitoring went down, and about half an hour later when it recovered. Looking through the alert log, I see the entries that say 'Alert notification sent' followed later by 'Recovery notification sent'. I didn't receive either notification, there's nothing in the mail queue, and maillog doesn't show any attempts. This was working perfectly before my update. I'm afraid I don't remember which version that was, but it was from about a week before I saw comments in the mailing list about the change in layout on the front page.

Just wondering how hard it would be to implement the following features, please le tme know if these already exist and I've just missed them! 1) Close window button on the hover popups. I think the pop ups are great but I find sometimes they don't disappear, a small X button on the top RH corner would be fantastic! 2) Adding AND and NOT to the Device/Entity filters It would be fantastic to have a little more flexibility in the filters used for Alerts and Groups etc. Would it be easy enough to be able to use AND and NOT statements?

Recent update beaks Rancid for Cisco ASAs

Hi, We have recently updated our version and the generate rancid script is now using the wrong type for the Cisco ASA devices. The type used for the Cisco ASA should be "cisco", it has recently changed so it sets the type to be "asa" This causes rancid to fail with an unknown type. Can this be corrected? We are using rancid 3.1. Observium: 0.16.1.7396 (rolling) Regards David

SFP sensor alerts
by Martin 07 Jan '16

07 Jan '16

Hi All, What is the best way to suppress alerts for Transceiver TX Power generated when a port is admin-down? cisco-entity-sensor mib has a default minimum value of 1mA, which is a perfectly valid minimum value under normal "up/up" conditions, but if the port is admin-shut it will switch off tx power, which is ok for admin-shut. Same situation for RX-power. Is there a way to take the admin status of the port in account for this kind of sensor readings? (ASR9k, IOS-XR) Thanks, Martin

Port Errors Showing for Alert-Disabled ports
by Robert Williams 07 Jan '16

07 Jan '16

Hi, Not sure when it started, but we now seem to get “Port Error” alerts on the main page for ports which are set to have their Alerts disabled, for example: [cid:image001.jpg@01D1494E.A318C000] On the device in question, they are indeed ‘No’ under the Alerts toggle: [cid:image002.jpg@01D1494E.A318C000] There are a large number of ports like this on our network with IP PDUs and similar, all of which have 10M/Half links and exist in a state of near-constant input errors as a result. This is of no concern at all and should be ignored (hence the toggle). Any suggestions? Is the Alerts toggle broken (for this feature on the main page) or is there another way to shush these, it’s kind of making the main page list a bit defunct ☺ Cheers all!

UNIX agent Postgres versions
by Attila Nagy 06 Jan '16

06 Jan '16

Hi everyone! I was in the process of configuring the UNIX agent and I found (as written in the documentation too) that the script only supports Postgres version 9. But after experimenting a little bit I realized that the script works perfectly with the 8.4 version. I was able to test with an 8.3 which was working as well. So maybe the script should be changed to enable any 8.X version. Anyway I created a patch and attached it. If some of you find it helpful then maybe post the version which was working, so we can update the version string. Regards, Tylla

Problem adding devices after upgrading to 0.16.1.7393

Hi Adam... Thanks for your reply... I tried deleting the html folder plus svn up but it did not help... I am using FF43 and Chrome 47. I can reproduce it with both browsers... But I found a way now on getting the panel back! I reduced the browser window width to at least the half of my screen (I do have 1980x1200 resolution). Then bling it popus up. As soon as I make it wider than 50% it goes away. Reproduced it with FF and Chrome on windows. Looks indeed like a CSS issue.

Re: [Observium] Fortinet Fortigate wireless support

Hi, Fortinet Fortigates are currently supported in Observium. However, the wireless controller functionality of the Fortigates is currently not graphed. Walking the MIBs show all the wireless data (Access points, clients, errors, bandwidth, S/N ratios) to have corresponding OIDs. Can this be information be implemented and graphed within Observium?

VMware ESXI 6 - False Errors
by Daniel Bray 04 Jan '16

04 Jan '16

We have recently upgraded our test environment from VMware ESXi 5.5 to 6.0. After the upgrade, we are seeing an issue where errors are getting reported on the vmk1 - vmk5 (VMkernel) ports that are connected to distributed switches for SAN access. However, there are no errors (none reported in vSphere nor the SAN). It seems to be a SNMP issue, possibly. We have a near identical production environment that is still running VMware ESXI 5.5, and the similar ESXi hosts are not showing these errors in Observium. This is a completely separate network, with a different Observium server, however both are running similar installs, and patched to the latest Professional version. We have verified using normal snmp commands that everything seems to be working as expected. We have deleted and re-added the ESXi hosts. Issue remains, but only on the vmk ports that are connected to distributed switches. The normal vmnic (vSwitch for management VLAN) show no errors. I've checked the mailing list and Googled this issue for a bit, but not finding anything similar to our issue. Anybody else running Observium with ESXi 6.0 and notice an issue with false Error reports on vmk ports? Any suggestions on what else to try? We have compared everything in the working production environment to the broken test environment, and the only thing we can come up with is that it is an issue with ESXi 6.0 and how it is responding to the Observium SNMP requests. Any guidance or direction would be appreciated. Thanks, -DB

Frontpage questions
by Jason Lixfeld 04 Jan '16

04 Jan '16

Hi, The default frontpage with an empty array in the config.php ($config['frontpage']['order'] = array(‘’);) still shows some stuff depending on the width of the browser window. I assume a blanked out array would show nothing at all on the front page, so maybe the presence of these artifacts are a bug (see attached images)? Secondly, is it possible to have the front page only be a front page, removing the title bar as well and only showing the contents of the frontage order array? In that case, I would presume the front page would be some sort of a special URL http://$obsevium/frontpage so you don’t get locked out? My intention is to use the frontpage as a super clean NOC screen mounted on a wall. Anyone who saw an alert would login to Observium through their own workstation if they needed a deeper dive. Thanks!

How long until removed ports are deleted?
by Ron Marosko 01 Jan '16

01 Jan '16

Happy New Year, all ya’ll Observium folks. So while everyone else is on holiday, I’m getting to do work. And this brought up an interesting question. I’m mostly removing old/unutilized 10/100/1000 line cards from a Catalyst 6509 today, and in a couple cases installing 10Gb linecards. Right now, I’ve already pulled three linecards from one chassis, and decided to force some discovery/polling of the chassis to see if the old ports will go away… and they haven’t. Doing a “show modules” on the switch confirms the line cards have been removed, but in the device port properties page, Observium still considers them “disabled / down”. Manually running the housekeeping script with the –p option says there are no ports to delete, even when I have manually gone into config.php and set the time duration to be really short (like 1*1 instead of 30*86400). Which brings me to the question… how long does it take for Observium to consider a port or ports “deleted” after it has been removed from the chassis?

Going back through some old mailing lists, didn’t see a reply to this one: http://postman.memetic.org/pipermail/observium/2015-April/010117.html I have the same issue here on Cisco 6880-X’s.

Morning all. Pretty new to Observium so I need to ask some questions, as I am under a little time pressure. A bump to the correct doc's will also be appreciated. First server I would like to do is an ELK collector. Ubuntu 14.04 Logstash Rabbitmq Observium unix_agent Now how do I integrate this into my Observium monitoring? unix_agent plugin? I want to monitor things like exchanges, queues and such like. Found this(for zabbix) that I can use to get my rabbitmq stats. Thanx a lot, after the first one I will be able to handle it myself :D Steff Stefaans Mostert Contractor: Linux System Administrator Tel: +27 11 459 1804 Fax: +27 11 459 1872 Website:http://www.grindrodbank.co.za Fourth Floor, Grindrod Tower, 8A Protea Place, Sandton PO Box 78011, Sandton, 2146

Collectd ping plugin graph issue
by Senses0 30 Dec '15

30 Dec '15

Hi, I have collectd configured in Observium and pretty much all the plugins I tried work. There is an issue rendering one graph generated by ping plugin though. Say, I'm measuring latency to "netflix.com". After measurements, the plugin sends following 3 RRD files to Observium - ping-netflix.com.rrd - ping_stddev-netflix.com.rrd - ping_droprate-netflix.com.rrd While observium renders stddev and droprate graphs, it doesn't render "ping-netflix.com.rrd". RRD command produces below error. "RRDTool Output: ERROR: No DS called 'ping' in '/opt/collectd-rrd/server-f04/ping/ping-netflix.com.rrd'" RRD dump has "value" as DS name in *ALL* 3 rrd files (as opposed to "ping"). For some reason, Observium doesn't use the correct DS name for the first file.

storage wrong on ubuntu 14.04
by Simon Smith 29 Dec '15

29 Dec '15

Hi All, I’m just wondering if any one has the same issue I’m having im monitoring a ubuntu 14.04 container running vpn software for some reason the storage in observium is showing /run, /run/lock, /run/shm, /run/user, /sys/fs/cgroup and completely missing / i use the unix-agent to get extra info out and i can see in there the following <<<df>>> /var/lib/vz/private/105 simfs 10485760 1307760 9178000 13% / none devtmpfs 1048576 4 1048572 1% /dev <<<mounts>>> /dev/simfs / simfs rw,relatime 0 0 so i don’t understand why its not showing the / mount ? i currently also monitor a ubuntu 12.04 container and that shows the storage correctly ? is it the SNMP thats the issue? or any other ideas? regards Simon

Revert to previous UI template/theme
by Vaggelis Koutroumpas 29 Dec '15

29 Dec '15

Hello, After upgrading to rev 7360 the whole UI has changed drastically. I have to admit I do not like the new UI layout. My screen resolution is 1920*1080. Resizing the browser window down to ~1870px width or less then I get the old layout. Is there a way to revert to the previous template? I guess it should be a matter of editing some CSS to change that? Thank you.
