SysobjectID for AIX
by Teixeira, Mike 20 Jun '14

20 Jun '14

Hello, I compiled net-snmp for AIX on my two AIX 5.3 servers. Since doing so the sysobjectid now returns net-snmp.aix rather than one that designates for AIX. I can set the sysobjectid in the snmp.conf. I have been looking for what to set that to so observium knows that it is an AIX server rather than a generic server. Does anyone have the oid that reflects AIX for sysobjectid? Thanks, Mike

Hi All, is it possible to disable the showing of other sites within a port view? look at attachment to understand what i mean We use observium to monitor external ADSL lines and sadly these lines all have the same internal ip address and the observium is showing all the other sites on the same pan port Regards Simon

No VRFs being discovered on Cisco 3750 Stacks
by Matthew A Harper 19 Jun '14

19 Jun '14

Hi Guys, Recently I've started monitoring some of our edge routers using Observium and have found that VRFs don't appear to get found during discovery. I found an old post from last year where Adam advised that VRF tracking in Observium is currently considered "broken and unstable". (http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.observium.general/3159). Here is a snip from a discovery of one of our edge devices running a handful of VRFs: dot1d id ifIndex Port Name Priority State Cost 504 5003 Port-channel3 128 forwarding 3 Cisco Pseudowires : VRFs : SLAs : UCD Disk IO : Discovered in 6.686 seconds I'm guessing this may be a lower priority to devs at the moment but it is something we'd be requiring before we can fully move away from our other unnamed/expensive monitoring solution as we need to enable alerting for BGP instances bound to specific VRFs. If this is still an ongoing issue is this perhaps something we could offer the devs financial incentive in the form of donations to bump the priority a bit? Alternatively if this has since been patched am I doing something wrong? I have the following enabled in my global config (and confirmed on the devices under modules): $config['enable_vrfs'] = 1; cisco-vrf enabled enabled Kind regards, Matt Harper Network Analyst | ICT Operations Information Technology Branch | Department of Transport and Main Roads Floor 4 | Transport House | 230 Brunswick Street | Fortitude Valley Qld 4006 PO Box 673 | Fortitude Valley Qld 4006 P: (07) 30661125 | F: (07) 30662044 E: matthew.a.harper(a)tmr.qld.gov.au<mailto:matthew.a.harper@tmr.qld.gov.au> W: www.tmr.qld.gov.au<http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/> *********************************************************************** WARNING: This email (including any attachments) may contain legally privileged, confidential or private information and may be protected by copyright.

Traffic Accounting - Can't add new Ports (0.14.6.5571)
by Torsten-Sven Urbas 18 Jun '14

18 Jun '14

Good morning, we're unable to add any new ports to bills setup in traffic accounting. We can choose a device under "Add New Port" but the interface dropdown below won't populate at all - it will stay empty. We tested this on chrome and firefox and on various operating systems. Anything known in that regard?

Adding an application
by David Peall 18 Jun '14

18 Jun '14

Hi I’m almost done with my application plugin. The RRD’s are there and updating and I’m looking at html/pages/device/apps/app.inc.php and I’m having an issue. I have a dynamic number of graphs, with the same/similar sets of data. I need to call the same script repeatedly in html/includes/graphs/… but perhaps with parameters? Any help is appreciated.

Alerting/Entity type changes
by Adam Armstrong 17 Jun '14

17 Jun '14

Hi All, We're bringing some changes soon to how entity types are used, especially in relation to groups and alerts. We're turning each sensor type into its own entity type, so you can now create "Humidity" sensors : http://alpha.memetic.org/~adama/snaps/14-06-16-f2h10.53.png People using alerting, is this as useful as I think it is? Thanks, adam.
