Performance Data Aggregation
by Ruiz, Carlos 28 Mar '16

28 Mar '16

Good morning Maybe this is a silly question, if so sorry for disturbs If we collect performance data for almost 20k devices and we're interested in perform trend estimations with data for last 12months, does observium implement any aggregation method in order to avoid have an unmanageable amount of performance data stored?, if so, can you point me out to the proper place where i can find some information that can help me to understand the way this work is done? Thanks in advance for your help and patience and sorry again for these basic questions Kind Regards -- Carlos Ruiz Compute System Management Senior Engineer Roche Farma, S.A.Josefa Valcarcel, 40.

Display used VLAN's in the complete environment
by Jan Kuiper 25 Mar '16

25 Mar '16

Hello, Is it possible to create an view of the used vlan's in the complete environment? Now we can only see the vlan's configured on the different devices? If it is possible I like to see the vlan's to the different devices where it is used on and perhaps we can use a hyperlink to that device. VLan 1 "Name" --> Switch-01 --> Switch-02 Vlan 2 "Name 2" --> Switch-02 ....

Stageing and live area
by Danny op de Dijk 25 Mar '16

25 Mar '16

Quick question to people who may know this bit of information regarding the license. We have as company an official version of Observium. We would like to know how many time we can install the software with that key. The reason is we would like to have a operational live situation and a testing area for new devices codes etc.... Is this possible or is it needed to buy two licenses. Thanks again for anyone that can answer this question.

by Tibor Marchyn 25 Mar '16

25 Mar '16

Hi, We are using Sophos UTM (Astaro) appliance, but it's currently not supported by Observium by default. What is correct process to request adding support for additional MIBs? I didn't find simple answer if it's possible somehow just add MIB file to observium without developing. Thanks

Problem with RRD spikes
by Danny op de Dijk 25 Mar '16

25 Mar '16

Dear readers, As of a couple of months now we are the happy users of Observium. And after a lot of tweaking and tunning we have a great tool monitoring our network and all of its devices. Still there are some issues we still can't work out or find any information about on the net. I'll describe as best as I can wat I want to fix. On the Observium site there is a section called Miscellaneous with a need trick to irradicate those RDD spikes. The code to use on the command line is as follow: for i in rrd/*/*.rrd; do scripts/removespikes.pl $i; done; And when I execute this code on de command line of Observium (Via Putty) I'm only getting an error message saying: -bash: scripts/removespikes.pl: Permission denied And this message a couple of times over and over again. After a short whil it stopes and nothing has been done to the spikes on the tables of Observium. So natuarly my question is what am I doing wrong, or better what file or folder hasn't got the right rights for me to execute this command. It would be very helpful if these kind of information or any kind of information was availible on the Observium website, but it isn't. And I'm very doudfull it will ever happen. So if anyone has somekind of solution it would be very helpfull.

Nested location menu without geocodes
by Wiethoff, Helge 24 Mar '16

24 Mar '16

Hi all, is it possible to make the location menu nested without using geocodes? Approximateley like the geocodes are managed... For example: Switch A: snmp location "Building 1, Floor 2, Room 23" Switch B: snmp location "Building 1, Floor 2, Room 23" Switch C: snmp location "Building 1, Floor 1, Room 42" Locations ------- Building 1 -> Floor 1 -> Room 42 (2 devices) -> Floor 2 -> Room 23 (1 device) Building X ... Maybe this is already possible but i am not able to configure it right :-) Otherwise this would be a nice feature when many devices are placed in the same building but in different floors/rooms. cheers, Helge PS: using Observium Professional 0.16.3.7659

Installed Observium 0.16.1.7533 Custom-Default in Config not working?
by Dano, Leo 24 Mar '16

24 Mar '16

Hello all, I have two installs and one works fine but the other that installed the exact same way shows the Custom and Defualt settings in Global Settings at the same time. You cannot click on them to change from Default to Custom. I installed the same exact way this week, but the one I installed last week works fine. Any thoughts? Thanks, ----------------------- Leo Dano
