Distinct alerting when several custom OID on the same device
by Thibault Richard 17 Oct '18

17 Oct '18

Hello, I've finally succeed to create alerting on custom OID Unfortunately, I'm now facing another issue I've one device with 2 custom OIDs * The device called "depanne" have 2 custom OID named "mailnotsent" and "checkdbconnection" I 've created one alert with this basic condition Currently if one of the 2 OID got a different value than 0, I receive the alert message "checkdbconnections fails" which correspond to the message I've defined It's OK when "checkdbconnections" fails but not when "mailnotsent' fails In other words, if the OID value for "mailnotsent" is not 0, I'm receiving a non-related message. I would like to create one alert related to one OID As checker condition for a custom OID I can only use a metric and the only available metric is the OID value. I know I cannot filter on the condition So I'm trying to filter thanks to the "association" In the previous version (which is still the documented one) it was possible to specify a device and an entity But as the current version no longer propose us a free field for this, I've tried to filter with several solution like this one It unfortunately doesn't work. How could I specify an alert is only linked to one OID ? Best Regards Thibault

Stormshield firewalls log
by Luca Sasdelli 16 Oct '18

16 Oct '18

Hello all, we've several Stormshield firewall (FreeBSD-based) to monitor with Observium; most of them send their syslog properly, but with three of them, the syslogs are correctly received on observium server (seen with tcpdump), but not displayed within the respective entries. The hostnames does match the ones used with the device names. The Syslog setup allows unknown host. The syslog messages filters doesn't match any possible string in the incoming logs on mentioned devices. By enabling syslog debug, the observium log writes the correspondent files successfully. What else should I check for this issue? Rev. 18.10.9470 Thanks! Luca

RANCiD version labels
by Eric W. Bates 14 Oct '18

14 Oct '18

Just finished adding RANCiD configs to observium and it's quite slick. Thanks for doing that. When displaying config versions, observium uses the git'ish 7-char truncations of the full hash to label those versions. While the time stamps are viewable when hovering the mouse over those links, most of my network team are non-coders and are put off by hex strings (never heard of git). Is there a knob I can tweak in config.php to just change those labels to the time stamp instead? Thanks for your time. -- Clark 159a, MS 46 508/289-3112

n00b question: Implementing a new application but I get no graphs (rrd files)
by Jonas Karlsson 11 Oct '18

11 Oct '18

Hi, I am trying to develop a new application (monroe) by following the instructions here: https://docs.observium.org/developing/add_app/ and are probably doing something stupid but I cannot see where the problem is. In my, updated and working, installation of observium I cannot find the file "includes/definitions/rrdtypes.inc.php" referenced above (I have searched the entire folder tree but with no luck). All the default applications work (ie vmwaretools) so as a "alternative approach" I tried to copy the code of the vmwaretools application and also search for where the vmwaretools have its definition but no luck. My application show up in the WEB UI and the agent works but I get no graphs. When I run ./poller.php manually I get : <snip> ##### Module Start: applications ##### o Applications ioping ...monroe .Cannot create RRD for type monroe - not found in definitions! nginx . nginx statistics vmwaretools . o Module time 0.0247s <snip> So it is missing the definitions but where do I add those ??? I have found a reference for rrdtypes.inc.php in includes/definitions.inc.php but in /includes/definitions/ I only have three files: $ls includes/definitions/ definitions.dat version.inc.php wui.inc.php -- Jonas Karlsson Senior Research Engineer Karlstad University SE-651 88 Karlstad, Sweden 📞 +46 54 700 15 64 📞 +46 70 672 06 20 💬 karlsson.karl.jonas 🗝 0x88765911B284F3A6
