Forced unsubscription
by Adam Armstrong 12 Sep '14

12 Sep '14

Hi Guys, If you get force unsubscribed to the list directly after this, it's because your mail server is rejecting emails with "naughty" words in them, so you're flooding other users with bounced messages. Please subscribe from an account which doesn't have draconian nanny email policies. (Because we all know it's impossible to change those policies, we don't even suggest you true, just use another account!) Thanks, adam.

Hello Adam, it appears to hang on the following for any of the Chassis Series switches.

Problem with the Mail Alerting
by SCHEIN David 12 Sep '14

12 Sep '14

Hello, Since lot of days I tried to configure the email alert in observium but it's impossible to receive some alert emails.... :( you can see there, a part of my config.php // Mailer backend Settings $config['email']['enable'] = TRUE; // Enable/Disable email globally $config['email']['from'] = '"OBSERVIUM Network Monitor" <observium(a)s****.fr>'; // Mail from. Default: "Observium" <observium@`hostname`> $config['email']['default'] = "d*****(a)gmail.com"; // Default alert recipient $config['email']['default_only'] = TRUE; // Only use default recipient (all alerts send to default recipient) $config['email']['backend'] = 'sendmail'; // Mail backend. Allowed: "mail" (PHP's built-in), "sendmail", "smtp". // sendmail backend specific options $config['email']['sendmail_path'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail'; // The location of the sendmail program. // smtp backend specific options $config['email']['smtp_host'] = 'localhost'; // Outgoing SMTP server name. $config['email']['smtp_port'] = 25; // The port to connect. $config['email']['smtp_timeout'] = 10; // SMTP connection timeout in seconds. $config['email']['smtp_secure'] = NULL; // Enable encryption. Use 'tls' or 'ssl' $config['email']['smtp_auth'] = FALSE; // Whether or not to use SMTP authentication. $config['email']['smtp_username'] = NULL; // SMTP username. $config['email']['smtp_password'] = NULL; // Password for SMTP authentication. // Alerting Settings $config['poller-wrapper']['alerter'] = TRUE; $config['alerts']['bgp']['whitelist'] = NULL; // Populate as an array() with ASNs to alert on. $config['alerts']['port']['ifdown'] = TRUE; // Generate alerts for ports that go down $config['alerts']['port']['ifdown_types'] = array('core', 'transit', 'peering'); // Port bandwidth threshold percentage %age utilisation above this will cause an alert $config['alerts']['port_util_alert'] = FALSE; // Disabled as default //$config['alerts']['port_util_alert'] = TRUE; // Disabled as default $config['alerts']['port_util_perc'] = 85; // %age above which to alert $config['uptime_warning'] = "60"; // Time in seconds to display a "Device Rebooted" Alert. 0 to disable warnings. I tried different config, but nothing is working and with this config when I do a test, I receive the e-mail in my gmail box, but nothing about port down or bgp session down... php ./test_mail.php -d -h sto-rtr-edge-*****.lan CMD[/bin/hostname -f] RUNTIME[0.0302s] OUTPUT[ pu1-webnoc.s****.lan ] Observium v0.14.9.5798 Test E-mail Configuration My Hostname: pu1-webnoc.s****.lan E-mails ENABLED globally E-mails use SENDMAIL backend sendmail path: [/usr/sbin/sendmail] E-mails send only to default email E-mails use these default recipient(s): d*****(a)gmail.com E-mails send from: observium(a)s****.fr SQL[SELECT * FROM `devices` WHERE `hostname` LIKE 'sto-rtr-edge-a****.s****.lan'] Try send test notification for sto-rtr-edge-a****.s****.lan to these email(s): d*****(a)gmail.com SQL[SELECT attrib_value FROM devices_attribs WHERE `device_id` = '35' AND `attrib_type` = 'disable_notify'] SQL[SELECT DISTINCT `contact_method` FROM `alert_contacts` WHERE `contact_disabled` = 0 AND `contact_id` IN (SELECT `alert_contact_id` FROM `alert_contacts_assoc` WHERE `alert_checker_id` = '');] Notification for sto-rtr-edge-a****.s****.lan SENT. And I didn't see anything in /var/log/mail.log, I see only my test. Thanks for your time David

Enterasys Chassis Switches polling\discovery problems
by Austin Spencer 12 Sep '14

12 Sep '14

Hello all, I've been trying to find out some more information. I'm in the testing run of trying to migrate from Cacti to Observium. Enterasys standalone switches seem to poll data okay (other then memory and CPU) but the Chassis series like the S8 or N7's seem to be giving me a problem. The polling and discovery of these devices appear to hang. Looking at the polling\discovery history from the WebUI just shows 999.99s. Are there any tweaks I can do to get these devices to pull correctly? -Austin

Class names under CBQoS?
by Chip Pleasants 12 Sep '14

12 Sep '14

Hi all, I don't see class names under the CBQoS section of the interface. I'm running 0.14.9.5798, which I believe is the latest for the commercial version. Is this in the works or should I be able to see them in this version? Thanks, Chip

Manually edit the port name / description
by Anthony Polselli 12 Sep '14

12 Sep '14

We have a Zyxel DSLAM ADSL switch and Observium is polling fine, but it doesn't pull the customer name field. Is there a way (if I can figure out the OID) to add that to the polling or manual set a description for each ADSL port?
