Trail the alerting functionality
by Vini 26 Sep '14

26 Sep '14

Hi All, I am evaluating Observium for a job and I was wondering if any of you know of a way to enable the alerting functionality as a trail? I could not find anything on the website about it but if I cannot trial it first and compare to the other options I have I won't be able to make a case to pay for the subscription. Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks Vin

Re: [Observium] Problem with the Mail Alerting

Hello, Thanks for your answer, where I can find a tutorial to configure the checker, because the wiki is not clear for me. And in the earlier version the mail alert was automatical, why this feature was abandoned.

If test mail works, your config works. If you don't get alert mails, either there is a problem with the actual alerter or with your checkers. Please show your checkers, and check whether the "alerted" column in the test list has a value or says Never.

Different Alert thresholds for different temperature sensors of the same cisco device
by Supun Rathnayake 24 Sep '14

24 Sep '14

Hi , We are using the Observium subscribed edition 0.14.9.5814 and trying to set different alerts for *different temperature sensor types* *of the same cisco device*, but could not find a proper method to do that. Please find the annexed screen-shots of the alert config. that we tried, and it matches all the temperature sensors (there are about 6 types). We are looking for the way to differentiate these sensors to set different threshold levels. Kindly let us know if there is a way to do this. -- With Best Regards, Supun Rathnayake Lanka communication Services (Pvt) Ltd. 65C, Dharmapala Mawatha, Colombo 07. Sri Lanka.

Excluding docker mounts
by overige＠vanderpoel.com.au 23 Sep '14

23 Sep '14

Hi, I'm running docker containers on one of my workstations and the syslog on that machine is now getting heaps of 'permission denied errors' like this: *Sep 22 16:25:05 raven snmpd[3295]: /var/lib/docker/aufs/mnt/5e126344b6b34ec70d5982e5cdf121bdf9698342a9223f6ef2d1e7d01cf3fff7: Permission denied* If I execute a non-root *df -h'* I'm also getting *permission* *denied*. I've tried to exclude the mentioned path using *$config['ignore_mount_string'][]* but that didn't do anything. I assume the other way would be to exclude it somehow using snmpd config, but got no idea how to. Cheers, Pieter

syslog-ng implementation and Cisco ASR9K
by Markus Klock 22 Sep '14

22 Sep '14

Hey guys! I´m setting up syslog-ng implementation and it works great for all my Cisco IOS-devices, however most of the devices in my network is Cisco ASR9K-routers running IOS-XR and it seems syslog from them wont go in to Observium. I did a quick look in the syslog-messages from the ASR9Ks and it seems IOS-XR actually don't use its hostname as hostname but instead use its active routeprocessors name (wtf cisco?!) making the syslog messages look something like this: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Nov 28 23:56:53.826 : config[65710]: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I : Configured from console by console Now there is a command that let you add a "hostname prefix" to the syslog messages, which means that I can type my own custom string as hostname for syslog, sadly it still just adds it before the RPS-id making the messages like this: router1 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router:Nov 28 23:56:53.826 : config[65710]: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I : Configured from console by console This of course makes it impossible for Observium to match the syslogged hostname to a hostname in the database. I took a look in the observium syslog-code and if I understand it correctly, if it fails to match the hostname it does a fallback and tries if maybe the IP-address is used as hostname and try to match it against a host in the database? In that case maybe I could change the syslog-ng template that forwards the data to Observium to instead use source IP instead of hostname? destination d_observium { program("/opt/observium/syslog.php" template ("$HOST||$FACILITY||$PRIORITY||$LEVEL||$TAG||$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY $HOUR:$MIN:$SEC||$MSG||$PROGRAM\n") template-escape(yes)); I tried change $HOST to $HOST_FROM and $SOURCEIP but no luck so far. Am I even on the right track here? Could something like this work to make my idiotic ASR9Ks show up in the Observium syslog? Thanks in advance for any advice /Markus
