Apache 2.4 config (for newer versions of Linux)
by Tristan Rhodes 03 Sep '14

03 Sep '14

I saw in the list archives that someone recently asked about using newer versions of Linux with Observium. I am not an Apache expert, but I got it working by simply changing to "Require all granted" in the recommended Observium config: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html root@observium:/opt/observium/includes# cat /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost DocumentRoot /opt/observium/html <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> <Directory /opt/observium/html/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Require all granted </Directory> ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log LogLevel warn CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined ServerSignature On </VirtualHost> I also had to manually enable the php5-mcrypt module: sudo php5enmod mcrypt sudo service apache2 restart I hope this was helpful!

ok great, I will get a few basic alerters programmed and await an update at some stage with further examples. I will update tommorrow if the alerts have been successful. I like the send recovery toggle - sometimes the little hamster would go ape for up to 20 emails with a missed SNMP down. Glad to send the end of that.

6500 PSU Voltage Check
by Jake Turner 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

Hi All, I was wondering if I could configure alerts for the voltage on a couple of 6500 power supplies (to try and alert on power failures). I've used the Entity Type of Voltage and this picks up the Enitity's from the 6500 (110/220v AC power supply, 2500 watt 2 - Power Supply 2 power-input) however I'm unsure on how to configure the 'Check Conditions' and 'Associations'. The below is a guess for the check conditions: Metric Condition Value sensor_voltage lt 220 In Associations I have simply put * * which I suspect is incorrect. Has anybody else tried setting up checks on voltage? Thanks Jake

Hi everyone, First, congrats ot the devs for making such a nice piece of software. Simple, to the point, perfect! Second, my issue: I'm trying to change the maps engine to Google Maps. I've change the engine to "google" in config.php but unfortunately nothing is happening. Any ideas? Regards, Sebi

hmmm, I think I am beginning to see the error in my ways perhaps, I do not have any Alert-checkers..... I have never had to add them or go near them as the version I was originally running just simply emailed me with Device down, device up, device rebooted, or if I wanted it to - port down etc So the new version will not do this by default? Do I need to created alert checkers for all my devices? matt On 1 September 2014 19:53, <observium-request(a)observium.org> wrote: > Send observium mailing list submissions to > observium(a)observium.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > observium-request(a)observium.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > observium-owner(a)observium.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of observium digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Thanks for your replies, I have un commented the line "$config['poller-wrapper']['alerter'] = TRUE;" , and also confirmed that I have the correct cron job configured. I then gave the VM a reboot as It is one of the devices that I observe. Unfortunalty i did not receive an email alert, so I reboot another device for a full 5 minutes so I should have received 1 x email alert for device down and 1 x reboot alert. I did not receive either. Is there a way I can monitor/watch the email being sent or processed to confirm that it is indeed happening?

Email setup in Config.php
by matthew waterman 01 Sep '14

01 Sep '14

Hi, I have been using Observium for about 1 year successfully and recently, approximately 3mth ago, I subscribed to the paid version, upgraded via SVN and copied my config.php. I do not have working email alerts at the moment and would like to know what needs to be changed to get this working again. Below is a print of my config.php file. Please advise me as to what needs to be changed to get email working again. Config.php: <?php ## Have a look in includes/defaults.inc.php for examples of settings you can set here.

1. write questions to list pls, I'm not a service support 2. why do you have a line break in $template, all text betwen $template and \n" this is one line (use copy-paste) 3. about '& stop' vs '& ~', tilde - legacy but still working variant, and therefore suitable for the old and new rsyslog versions and in irc you sayd that syslog messages displayed if in cisco device set logging without timezone, this is not true?

I’m trying to get RSS working. php-mcrypt is installed and under “My Settings” it says my RSS/Atom key was created. I can’t find any documentation anywhere that explains anything further.

Re: [Observium] Avtech Room Alert 4E support?

I was able to svn add the new file I copied and modified as well as make the diff file with the changes I made to the other files. How would I go about submitting my changes/adds to you to verify and commit? Or does the svn add accomplish this? I am not well versed in the use of svn.
