alternative to svn update
by Samarasinghe, Sujith 24 Aug '15

24 Aug '15

Hi , I was trying to update to latest version but our firewall does not allow svn as protocol. I downloaded the latest stable version using wget instead and tried to locate new folder under /opt/. I got permission denied error on /discovery.php -u Is there a better way to upgrade than this risky method if SVN is not an option? Thanks, Sujith.

"Monitoring" Linux Softraid State?
by Richard Müller 23 Aug '15

23 Aug '15

Hy *, I just noticed that observium_agent returns a <<<md>>> section: 1.) Question: is there actual a way of monitoring the state of linux softraid devices in Observium, I just do not know? Documentation / google is quite silent about this question. :-) 2.) If no, how can this be implemented? Idea #1: Introduce a “(red|yellow) Alarm” state even for Unix devices, as most common network devices have. So this technique can be also used for different kinds of alarms (Raid, Network, ECC, …) a. Yellow Alarm: Raid degraded b. Red Alarm: Raid broken :-) Idea #2: Is this something, which can be implemented “outside Observium” (e.g. by some “geniuos” snmpd-configuration lines in snmpd.conf) and Observium just uses the normal “(yellow|red) Alarm” way, which is already implemented? Sorry, I am not an SNMP-Expert, so I cannot answer this for myself.

Hello Observium team, I would like to know how much effort would it be to add the ability to drag a timeline across a graph which will then automatically adjust the date/time range to that section of the graph? Regards, Rudolf

Re: [Observium] Link to device - Feature request
by Tom Laermans 21 Aug '15

I've actually come accross quite a few devices that specify configured telnet and http ports and the like in their snmp tree, we could definitely make use of those. So whoever decides to code this up (i'm on vacation this week) please leave room for custom ports in the database ;) Tom On Aug 11, 2015 2:15 PM, Jason Lixfeld <jason(a)lixfeld.ca> wrote: > > You know, I'm actually disgusted with myself for doing that.

Hi Team a few ages ago there was a poll from Adam about which Wireless System should be supported. Since then I have not seen any progress on Cisco WLC. Is there anything in the works? Would SNMP access help? Thanks Basile
