BGP Prefix Count Graphs
by Robert Williams 06 Nov '18

06 Nov '18

Hi, It's only occasional that we use these particular graphs, so I can't say when it stopped working unfortunately :( As far as I can see, every 'Prefix Count' graphs is broken / non-existent for every platform we have (IOS + IOS-XR). <server>/routing/protocol=bgp/view=graphs/graph=prefixes_ipv4unicast/ [cid:image002.png@01D4751F.0680B040] However, all the 'Update Counters' graphs are OK, for exactly the same neighbours: [cid:image004.jpg@01D4751F.0680B040] A quick check of the RRDs in the device folders shows that anything starting with "cbgp-" appears to contain the neighbour and address-family, rather than a 'numeric' name: [cid:image007.png@01D4751E.6EAFF140] So maybe it should be looking at those? Rather than cbgp-3176.rrd for example? We have recently completed a round of IOS-XR upgrades so I'm not entirely confident this is caused by an issue on the Observium side to be honest!

Hello. I just added new Cisco FTD appliance, but there is no information about CPU, Memory, firewall statistics. And this is how the graphics looks like: [cid:image001.png@01D47501.57E9E370] As far as I know, MIBs has not changed. Would you please let me know if would it be supported? Regards. David.

Linux distro
by Jason Vanlandingham 05 Nov '18

05 Nov '18

I'm building a new box to replace my ancient Observium server. I'm most comfortable with CentOS, but most of the help docs I've seen appear to be geared toward Ubuntu. Is there a great reason to go Ubuntu over CentOS? Or is there another distro that is better for Observium? I stayed away from Ubuntu because I didn't care for the GUI, but I realized I have probably spent less than a hour per year in the GUI of that machine.

get Inventory via API
by Henry Möller 05 Nov '18

Hello, We trying to get information's about the Inventory from Observium. Mainly we trying to get the Serial Number and the Model Number from observium. This works well for a single switch. But it is not working if we have a stacked switch. In this case we get only the serial number of the stack-master. Is there a way to get all the information's that are listed on the inventory via API?

Sensor issues since approx November 1st
by Anthony Somerset 02 Nov '18

02 Nov '18

Hi There I’m running a test bed of observium at home seperately of our main installation - i had previously written a very basic observium agent module that polls current power usage for a home monitoring sensor and outputs it, and then a custom polling module that reads this data and basically graphs it as a power sensor under a device (https://gist.github.com/anthonysomerset/3860b7a3b650d8bbbf53faac2d5eeab5 <https://gist.github.com/anthonysomerset/3860b7a3b650d8bbbf53faac2d5eeab5>) the unix-agent is working same as before but since i updated overnight on 1st november the graph has disappeared and my event log is filled up with sensor added events: also under the device itself the sensor is saying deleted around 5 days ago (2018-10-27 00:01:04) this looks like immediately after it updated on that day (looks like last commit on that day was 9517) any thoughts on how i need to fix?
