Hi all, My first post here. First I must say that Observium is the most easy looking open source tool I have ever seen :) I'm trying to figure out a few config items that maybe someone can help me with. Autodiscovery If I'm using $config['autodiscovery']['xdp'] = TRUE; and $config['autodiscovery']['snmpscan'] = TRUE; First it does not seems to add any devices discovered with LLDP/CDP, nor have I found a way to do a snmpscan based on my subnets (also added) 1.) Does Autodiscover work as the config file says the feature is not yet added? PTR/DNS Does observium require a PTR record for every device or just a valid host name trough SNMP? How about FQDN? WMI Seems to be a topic not much covered and not really supported, however in the modules section of a device, let's say a server one can find an on/off switch for WMI and also a settings page. Does this mean WMI is somewhat supported or just a GUI glitch? Thanks

Overrride bandwidth on a port?
by Spencer Ryan 28 Apr '15

28 Apr '15

Is there a way to override the bandwidth on a port that I can't change what is reported via SNMP? For example I have a 50Mb MPLS on a 100Mb Ethernet port. I want the % used and % alerting metrics to be based on 50 and not 100. *Spencer Ryan* | Senior Systems Administrator | sryan(a)arbor.net *Arbor Networks* +1.734.794.5033 (d) | +1.734.846.2053 (m) www.arbornetworks.com

Minigraphs without autoscaling
by Jose A Rodriguez 28 Apr '15

28 Apr '15

Hi there! Is there any way to draw the minigraphs (or graphs) for Bits without autoscaling (using max value from the port capabilities)? With autoscaling it's impossible to compare ports... Best regards, Jose

Hi All, not sure if this is a bug with my browser or a bug with Observium I go into one our mikrotik switches, click Health, then into Temperature if i then click the System 0 the page just keeps refreshing and going back the the same page ? it doesn’t appear to be taking me to the Temperature graphs ? i’ve also noticed that the Temperature page isn’t showing any graphs unlike the Storage or Processor pages ? Ive attached some screenshots showing what i mean ? Regards Simon

Disk IO graphs not generating any more
by Kaya Saman 27 Apr '15

27 Apr '15

Hi, I'm just wondering if the Disk I/O module has been removed? I do remember reading a while ago of something like this but not currently sure... My version of Observium is CE 0.14.11.6000 Nothing has changed in my setup apart from the usual updates. Regards, Kaya

NTPD monitoring script
by AJ Schroeder 27 Apr '15

27 Apr '15

Hello list, I have rewritten the NTPD application monitoring script as a shell script rather than installing PHP on my servers. I have been running this for a few weeks now and haven't noticed any issues with it. I'd like to see how the script works on a larger variety of systems before I would call it finished. Would anyone else on this list like to give it a try? Thanks, AJ Schroeder

Cisco switches not Polling to observium
by Simarpal Rooprai 24 Apr '15

24 Apr '15

Hey guys So as the headline reads im trying to get the graphs working to observium. I have 2 3560 cisco switches running which can ping to observium host, also the host can ping back. i have a community set up xxxx which i tried on my workstation and it works sending to observium. But trying on the switches seems to be a bit more difficult. When running php poller script i cant seem to find any errors when greping so i think to problem is with the cisco conf. When i take a look in the obserivum host under pollerlog it would seem that my workstations was last pollled but not any of the switches, Last Discovered seems to work just fine. So what do you guys think? Im not to sure where the problem is i might be in the linux host, but im not an expert at linux nor php. Do any of you guys think you might be able to help me out ? Also i have tried to remove the device and adding it again but still no luck. In observium i get this message even though i have waited 24 hours: error drawing graph Device not yet polled This device has not yet been successfully polled. System information and statistics will not be populated and graphs will not draw. Please wait 5-10 minutes for graphs to draw correctly. Down here is the short config from my switch : SW02#show run | in snmp snmp-server community XXXX RO snmp-server host 10.2.1.118 version 2c XXXX Best regards Simarpal

WS-SVC-WISM2-K9
by Chip Pleasants 20 Apr '15

20 Apr '15

Hi all, After building a new Observium server our Cisco WISM2's (WS-SVC-WISM2-K9) aren't recognized as Cisco Wireless Controllers any longer. They come up as Generic Devices on the new server. On the old they are recognized as Cisco Wireless Controllers. Is there something I need to change on my side? Thanks, Chip
