Ubuntu vs CentOS
by Anthony Polselli 07 Aug '14

07 Aug '14

Hi all, We are looking at purchasing the software and want to know which platform is better? We are a CentOS shop, but if we need paid support or want some custom development done, would Ubuntu be better? Thanks, [cid:image001.jpg@01CFB213.F86539E0] __________________________________________ Anthony Polselli, Chief Technology Officer Natural Networks, Inc. 10225 Barnes Canyon Rd.

API access key
by Greg Lipschitz 07 Aug '14

07 Aug '14

Evening All, I've noticed in the settings, the option for "API access key" but it doesn't yet seem that it's implemented. We're currently looking at doing some development to pull the graphs for services from Observium and inject them in to our Client Portal so that clients get nice pretty graphs. Has anyone done something similar? Some guidance or pointers would be great :) Cheers!

How to add SNMP support in observium for ambient Temperature
by observium＠willfahrt.net 06 Aug '14

06 Aug '14

Hi all, I hope someone can help, I'm sure this has been answered before? - Sorry in advance! I want to monitor a few Linux machines with ambient temperature sensing devices. The NetSNMPd Client Configuration is working and I get a successful response as you can see: ~# snmpget -v 2c temphost -c public .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.10 HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSystem.9 = Gauge32: 23000 How can I modify the host configuration to add the ambient Temperature information in the Observium? Best regards, Jens

ifLastChange usage query
by Peter Childs 06 Aug '14

06 Aug '14

Looking at an operational issue where we had a small interface flap between polls, so link state between polls hasn't changed, but iFLastChange has. Looking at the 'data' view through the UI for the port ifLastChanged doesn't appeared to have changed, and looking through the poller code it appears perhaps it is only updated on a change of operational/admin status on a port? Would there be any use in poller updating it in the db if it was different to the existing value in the port cache ? It would be interesting to be able to alert on 'ifLastChange' < 'some value' .. Or just have the update in the EventLog so when having a look-see at a device it is apparent that a link flap has occurred. A visual indicator in ports basic/detailed view for 'last change' < 'some global config value' like a little exclamation mark or something potentially could be useful to operators to 'spot' issues. Imagine being able to view ports, sort on 'LastChange' during an incident to 'spot' potential causes of issues? Would any of this make sense to anyone? Cheers, Peter

Allied Telesis Support
by Patrick Gawthorne 06 Aug '14

06 Aug '14

Hi All, Currently playing with Observium which is brilliant, except when an Allied Telesis switch (running Alliedware Plus) is discovered only basic info is retrieved (Uptime, OS, location, etc), which then causes the issue of halting auto discovery.. The specific model is an AT-9000/28SP. Anyone aware if this switch is supported or not?

question about cisco switch discovery/polling
by Steve Dubinskiy 06 Aug '14

06 Aug '14

we've got a Cisco WS-C4510R+E switch after discovering and polling it,, it now shows 3 entries for each port 1 is the expected/desired one "64-bit" port and 2 unknown/undesired "Controlled" and "Uncontrolled" 32-bit ports. question why are we seeing them ? how to we get rid of them ? this is making management of this device painfully slow .. takes more then 30 seconds (closer to one minute) for the page to load thanks -Steve -- *This message and any files or text attached to it are intended only for the recipients named above, and contain information that is confidential or privileged.
