Localhost memory showing as MINUS or NAN
by Simon Mousey Smith 12 Jun '19

Hi All Ive only just noticed, but since I did a fresh install of observium on a new server and then migrated old data over, the memory for ‘localhost’ is showing as MINUS or NAN%? Anybody have an ideas? I don’t have anything special in the snmpd.conf as it shows below root@observium:~# cat /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf # Listen for connections on all interfaces (both IPv4 *and* IPv6) agentAddress udp:161,udp6:[::1]:161 # Full view access view all included .1 # system + hrSystem groups only view systemonly included .1.3.6.1.2.1.1 view systemonly included .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1 # Default access to full view rocommunity public 127.0.0.1 -V all # Default access to basic system info #rocommunity public default -V systemonly # System contact and location syslocation L24 XXX syscontact Simon Smith # Disk Monitoring disk / 10000 disk /var 5% includeAllDisks 10% # Unacceptable 1-, 5-, and 15-minute load averages load 12 10 5 # This line allows Observium to detect the host OS if the distro script is installed extend .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.7890.1 distro /usr/local/bin/distro # This lines allows Observium to detect hardware, vendor and serial #extend .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.7890.2 hardware /bin/cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_name #extend .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.7890.3 vendor /bin/cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/sys_vendor #extend .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.7890.4 serial /bin/cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_serial # This line allows Observium to collect an accurate uptime extend uptime /bin/cat /proc/uptime # This line enables Observium's ifAlias description injection pass_persist .1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.18 /usr/local/bin/ifAlias_persist root@observium:~# The code was copied over from the observium docs - https://docs.observium.org/device_linux/ <https://docs.observium.org/device_linux/> Regards Simon

Ubiquiti EdgeOS - Port Descriptors
by mal＠platinumnetworks.com.au 11 Jun '19

11 Jun '19

Hi all - I have a number of EdgeOS devices in the field that I would like to add in to Observium but I am having an issue with the port descriptors as follows: I have set the interface description as follows - "description CUST:JOHNSONS(AAPT_NWBL2)[50M]{1736079}" using the CUST: and various brackets as outlined in the documentation. The OS does not like spaces in the description field so I was forced to remove them to get the config to stick. Problem is that when the interface is parsed the description comes up as just description CUSTJOHNSONSAAPT_NWBL250M1736079 which clearly is not going to be parsed correctly by Observium. Wondering if anyone has come across this previously and can pint me in the direction of a solution/workaround. Cheers Mal

Alert for description port
by VIP TELECOM - Rafael 31 May '19

31 May '19

Hello, I need a help with alerts: I have mikrotik, extreme, datacom, huawei, cisco ..., all registered by ip in observium and with their doors properly described in the equipment. The port down, device down, displays the ip of the device and the number of the port, in the cases of mikrotik it presents the description of the port, but in other cases it only displays the port number. When we receive an alert on the telegram for example, or even on the dashboard, we can not know what that port is until it clicks on it, could it send the description along with the alert in a way that works for all manufacturers? In mikrotik the association that I make is: port.ifAlias in others the association is: port.ifDescr One more question would be: In addition to sending the ip of the device, it would have to send the hostname of the device, this would be very useful also in the dashboard --

Custom Icon $config['icon’][‘logo']
by Andrew Lemin 30 May '19

30 May '19

Good morning/afternoon/evening, Just a quick question. I have created a custom drop-down menu in the navbar, and would like to define a custom icon like; $config['icon’]['company-logo'] which provides a .png file in the images folder etc. Or more specifically instead of; $navbar['4D-DC'] = array('url' => '#', 'icon' => $config['icon']['company-logo'], 'title' => 'URLS'); Maybe this would work (sadly it doesn’t); $navbar['4D-DC'] = array('url' => '#', 'icon' => ‘images/company-logo.png’, 'title' => ''URLS''); I cannot find anywhere in the code where the $config['icon’] array is defined, and it is not in the database’s config table either? Thanks, Andy.
