Incorrect Port VLAN Information
by Casey Dinsmore 16 May '14

16 May '14

I'm testing out Observium and I've noticed a problem with some of the VLAN assignments. Our shop runs HP Procurve switches and we've seen this problem on both the 2824 and the 5308xl. Here is what Observium sees vs the switch config: http://pastebin.com/FGC4z8eJ Is this a known issue? Thanks, Casey

INVALID_MSGID
by Simon Smith 15 May '14

15 May '14

Hi, i have noticed when the Observium is sending alerts to me, our mailcleaner is blocking them, one reason is because the Message-ID is invalid or corrupted when it was sent !? for some reason seeing the Message-ID is being seen and sent as msgid=<cb0e6df8f4186cc23b4ba07c8bb65af4@> i got this information from my sendmail mail.log file and our mailcleaner logs too is this a bug in sendmail or the observium? regards Simon

Geocoding shows wrong locations

Hi there, I am running several VLAN in a distributed environment in Germany. I am using the longitude/latitude options to finally not ending up on "An island in the middle of the ocean". Yesterday I added another two VLANs and the map shows devices inside e.g. in India. As I am using private subnet ranges, only, I am wondering why this happens at all and could be done to get over of this little trouble. Subnets I am using are: 192.168.50.0/24 192.168.55.0/24 192.168.60.0/24 192.168.70.0/24 192.168.80.0/24 192.168.90.0/24 192.168.100.0/24 192.168.110.0/24 192.168.120.0/24 ...where the C-octet reflects the VLAN-ID. Thanks in advance!

Hi, hopying someone can help me, bought the observium, and its brilliant, just what i was looking for and even the graphs and stuff however i can’t seem to get the alerts to work correctly!? i want to monitor a device (not a port) so when it goes offline or does a reboot it will send me an email or run a custom command of my own… is the any guide to help set this up for me? or even if someone could simply tell me how to set it up sorry for being thick, but it just abit confusing to setup a simple alert on a device thats all Regards Simon

Re: [Observium] ping alerts

Tom, Is there a good write up on the new alerting system? I've seen various generic / site specific examples but no documentation that shows me what I can alert on and how to go about setting it up. If you could point me in the right direction or give me some tips I'd appreciate it. >In the new alerting system you can differentiate between snmp is down and ping is down (device_status_type will be either 'ping' or 'snmp'). >Tom >On 13/05/2014 01:09, Adam Armstrong wrote: > I question the existence of a valid scenario where snmpd can't reply > to sysDescr but the server isn't considered broken. > > You're also talking about the /old/ alerting system, which is > deprecated and universally hated and shunned. :> > > adam. > > On 2014-05-12 17:58, Joshua Elson wrote: >> Is there a way to disable alerts for ping when snmpd isn't accessible? >> We get lots of false alerts when servers are under high load.

troubleshooting sonicwall reporting failures
by Josh Bierman 14 May '14

14 May '14

Hello, Im having an issue with my sonicwall firewalls. they show 15 minute blank spots in reporting. Primary and fail-over devices, at different times. nothing stands out in the logs, and no one is screaming that internet was down for 15 minutes. Suggestions on getting to the bottom of this? is it just a graphing failure? (see attached screen shot) [image: Inline image 1] Joshua Bierman Director of Technology Yeshivat Noam

Upgrading to Observium Professional
by Jeremy Alberts 14 May '14

14 May '14

Hallo, I am thinking about upgrading to Observium Professional. Before I do this however, I was wondering if someone could answer a question. At the moment I am using Observium to monitor all my Cisco switches and Windows servers. The thing I miss the most in Observium Open Source edition is not being able to receive alerts on the following: § Alerting Memory at certain thresholds (Windows machines) § alerting CPU at certain thresholds (Windows machines) § Alerting disk I/O at certain thresholds (Windows machines) Now I thing this is possible with the Professional edition. Can someone confirm that this is the case? With kind regards, Jeremy
