Host down alert
by Anton Voloshin 28 Jul '14

28 Jul '14

Hi there. Is it possible yet (in commercial version) to set up a "host down" alert? If yes, how to implement it? Couldn't find out from current documentation.

Geocode
by Josh Hopper 27 Jul '14

27 Jul '14

I wanted to test out Geocoding with Google instead of the regular locations. $config['geocoding']['default']['lat'] = "35.922614"; // Default latitude $config['geocoding']['default']['lon'] = "-81.542729"; // Default longitude $config['location_menu_geocoded'] = TRUE; // Build location menu with geocoded data. $config['geocoding']['enable'] = TRUE; // Enable Geocoding If I have SNMP Locations set on my devices does it prevent this from working? Or, is there a particular way to tell if its operating correctly? -- Sincerely, Joshua Hopper, A+ CE Network Administrator 420 3rd Ave NW Hickory NC 28601 Office: 828-449-1839x2160 | Cell: 828-855-7565 Protect Plus Air Holdings, LLC and Affiliates, Protect Plus, LLC and Affiliates, Imagine One Resources, LLC and Affiliates, Protect Plus Surfaces, LLC and Affiliates Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail is intended only for the addressee named above.

I have forgot one device with remote syslog with debug enabled. My syslog table is with 12G, so I had to truncated :). Any chances to implement regexp filter (like bad_if_regexp) to syslog too? Thanks all! -- Eduardo Schoedler

Better poller for Observium
by Alex Povolotsky 24 Jul '14

24 Jul '14

Hello While Observium has a nice interface, it's database lacks foreign keys a lot, and poller.php is AWFUL. It's slow and unreadable. I've started a new, about 40-50 times lighter observium poller https://github.com/tarkhil/observium-poller It supports only SNMP for now, and is work-in-progress. Only os, processor and memory modules are working, and ports is about 50% finished. If anyone is interested, please join. I'm sure to complete SNMP support for Cisco, but quite unsure if I'll be interested in implementing much else. Alex

Interesting experiment with poll over SSH
by Peter Childs 24 Jul '14

24 Jul '14

We have a host about 320ms from our observium node (yes.. The other side of the planet). Doing a full poll circa 650-700ms (including mac and bgp tables... Its a IOS-XR ASR9K ..). Adjusting the Cr/max-reps did increase speeds, and caused several nasty snmpd explosions on the chassis. As a exercise in interest I spun up a VM much closer to the host, unpacked /opt/observium/mibs etc and configured snmp on that remote host. Then did this root@obs1:/opt/observium# diff -c includes/snmp.inc.php.orig includes/snmp.inc.php *** includes/snmp.inc.php.orig 2014-07-23 17:43:53.720274321 +0930 --- includes/snmp.inc.php 2014-07-23 17:56:23.092286235 +0930 *************** *** 333,338 **** --- 333,345 ---- // Add the OID(s) to the strong $cmd .= " ".$oids; + if( $device['hostname'] == 'faraway.router.com' ){ + $cmd = "ssh -i ~x/x.pem x@remote-poller-node -C " . escapeshellarg($cmd) ; + } This was interesting, but the ssh establishment phase for each snmp execution was a lot of overhead.. So I also did this root@obs1:/opt/observium# cat ~/.ssh/config Host remote-poller-node # HostName machine1.example.org ControlPath ~/.ssh/controlmasters/%r@%h:%p ControlMaster auto ControlPersist 10m This means that a ssh 'master instance' was setup at the start of the poll, and hangs around in the background between executions of various snmpcmd's during the poll. Full poll went from 650-700ms -> ~170ms Thought this might be of interest to some people. Cheers, Peter

Alert checks with load average ?
by Xavier Beaudouin 23 Jul '14

23 Jul '14

Dear Observium gurus, Do you know if it is possible to make alert uppon load average (1minutes) like for example if load average if > 5.0 (this is a random value, but here is an idea). Kind regards, Xavier -- Xavier Beaudouin - Senior Network and System Administrator Infrastructure and network director Horizon Software - http://www.hsoftware.com/ 13 rue La Fayette - 75009 PARIS - France Phone: +33 (0)1 4260 9490 Fax: +33 (0)1 44 56 97 01
