Bulk add bills
by Travis Kreikemeier 03 Nov '14

03 Nov '14

I just bulk added about 500 client devices (CPE's) to Observium. Trying to figure out a bulk way to add them to traffic accounting / billing. I want to make a bill for each device (customer), based on the device name is fine and then associate a port to the bill. All of the devices are exactly the same and the name of the port is the same on each. Below would be amazing if this existed. Or does it? I would be able to concatenate in Excel right into this. Like I did to bulk add the devices. ./create_bill.php <description> <billing_type> <billing_type> <billing_amount> <billing_day> (customer_reference) (billing_reference) (notes) ./add_bill_port.php <description> <device_hostname> <port_name> (Repeat as necessary) Adding <filename> to the above php scripts, the same way add_device.php has, would be great. Thanks! TRAVIS KREIKEMEIER

Rancid configs in git?

Hi, we're collecting our configs in a git rather than SVN. Has anyone managed to extend the rancid part to also show the versions from a git archive?

help with an alarm
by Brett Jones 03 Nov '14

03 Nov '14

Hi there. Resending out message as I am hoping someone can assist me with this. How on earth do you make a packet loss alarm? IE if a CPE hits over 30% then it will alarm? I cant find an attribute from the guide to do this. I have set an alert as device_ping gt 250 type_match * * This works when a cpe hits over 250mms thus showing latency. But how do I do a packet loss? I have tried packet_loss gt 30 but as this is not in the list it dosnt work! Any help would be most appreciated.

Graph Previous
by Justin Miller 31 Oct '14

31 Oct '14

When looking at the 6 hour graph, if I graph previous, shouldn’t it show what happened during that time frame 24 hours ago? It looks like it’s just showing what happened the 6 hours before the 6 hours I’m looking at. Which is I guess technically true for what “Graph Previous” means. Is there a way to graph previous time frame yesterday? My use case is zooming in on a time frame and then looking at usage and then trying to see what happened yesterday to see if there was a significant difference. If I zoom in and see the 20 minutes before hand, well it’s just not useful. It works fine for 24 hr, and week and month. 48 hr could be a little weird as well. The last 6 hours with graph previous - I don’t know how useful it is to see the previous 6 hours here. The actual previous time period yesterday - not to same scale This is what is actually being graphed in graph previous.

I have added the distro script as per http://www.observium.org/wiki/Linux_Distribution_Detection Running the distro script produces the right output, but observium does not seem to be detecting the distro correctly (still showing as Linux ***-generic) Snmpd has been restarted, and the OS being detected is Ubuntu 14.04. Any idea what could be going wrong? Thanks!

Re: [Observium] Wireless signal graphs

I quasi-hacked my community edition release to provide basic support for canopy, but it didn't give any RF details, just basic network utilization. I see where there is a patch to provide better support in the subscription version, which I am hoping will show up in the next community release. If the data looks good for canopy on that, we'll be converting to the subscription version very shortly thereafter... I just have to show positive results to the person who writes the checks, so to speak, and get their go ahead first. ...Ron Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE DROID Jeremy Lukan <jeremy(a)GLMobile.com> wrote: >_______________________________________________ >observium mailing list >observium(a)observium.org >http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium
