global configs
by Mark Chaney 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

BTW, thanks for this great app. Its better than most of the commercial options i have even found. 1) How do I disable ipv6 reporting? Its not being used at all within my infrastructure. There is actually probably a lot of stuff that could be disabled, such as cisco and wireless, etc. I dont have either of those. Are filters used for this? 2) I see the config options for syslog, but then it says its not being used. So right now nothing is done with syslog at all? Im assuming there are plans for observium to become a syslog server then? Well, at least parse logs from one. 3) I do have multiple xen servers, what exactly does enabling the Virtualization options do and where would that data be available? 4) Since i have xen nodes, any recommendations for getting resource information to actual show for the entire xen host instead of just the dom0? 5) Service monitoring at this point is imply just up/down. Right? Is there that much on how quickly alerts are sent out? Can it wait to see it it fails for a second check before reported, etc? Wanting to reduce false positives. Note, i havent really done anything with alerts with observium, just reading over the docs. BTW, im using Observium 0.11.6.2390. Thanks for your time! - Mark

collectd dns graphs ... short memory
by Zane Thomas 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

The dns and powerdns plugins provide only the same 2 hour snapshot in all four graphs. Does anyone know why that is? Some other collectd tabs, such as cpu, do provide broader time ranges in the four graphs.

by Jenang Daftar 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

Hi, I'm trying to integrate rancid into observium. Here are what i've done: - Install observium and run it. Obeservium can collect statistic from device - Install rancid and run it. Rancid is collecting my device configuration - Enable rancid integration setting in observium: ### rancid integration $config['rancid_configs'][] = "/var/lib/rancid/mpbn/configs/"; $config['rancid_configs'][] = "/var/lib/rancid/gprs/configs/"; $config['rancid_ignorecomments'] = 0; # Ignore lines starting with # - Allow observium user to read rancid config (using observium user i can see the configuration collected by rancid) - I use the same hostname defined in my /etc/hosts for both observium and rancid But I couldn’t see any menu/link showed in Observium web page related to Rancid configuration.
