Aggregate graphs for Peering Ports
by Tim Calvin 22 Apr '14

22 Apr '14

I was curious if there was a way to group together Peering ports in a way that it shows an aggregate graph similar to how Customer ports are handled. On the customer ports page, I can see an aggregate graph of all a particular customers circuits. It seems all I have to do here is make sure they are named the same. We have a few peering circuits to one entity and it would be nice to have that same behavior. I have them named the same but on the peering page the two circuits are shown individually with no aggregate totals. Just wondering if there was some type of configurable option to enable this or not. Let me know if I need to provide anymore info. Hopefully that makes sense. Thanks, Tim Calvin Texas Lone Star Network

Frontpage Map Zoom
by Johnson, Edward A. 22 Apr '14

22 Apr '14

All of our devices are located within the state of Indiana. On the frontpage the map zooms from Utah to Nova Scotia with Indiana in the middle. Of course I can manually zoom in as far as I need but would like the default to zoom 1x more so I can see the entire state of indiana from north to south. Is there a setting in config.php that will let me do that?

Re: [Observium] Port 'Last Changed' visibility

After much debugging, tweaking the code and playing around with timestamp to epoch functions I’ve finally managed to get this working and it seems to be pretty accurate (for the Cisco devices at least). Thanks for your help Jake Turner [cid:94259173-8184-4F71-8163-56004829AE3C@turnerhouse.local] I am running 0.13.10 (rev. 4585) so yes, a pretty old version. I will update asap and that should shed a little more light (Y).

Cisco devices at least report the time that the system was up when the interface changed and I don’t mind having to calculate him many days/hours/minutes etc that was and then displaying that on the appropriate page. I see what you’re saying when it comes to providing the most compatibility with all the different vendors as they probably report it slightly different (or not at all) and so updating it with 'on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP’ ensures that you’ll always have something there. I only have Cisco devices though so it’s not too much of a problem. Thanks, I’ll do some more digging tomorrow, need to sleep now!

This should use the port's ifLastChanged if it exists, else it'll use the current polling time. At some point we decided it was totally unrealiable and decided to track it ourselves by having the database update the value when the port configuration in the database changed. It sounds more like you'd want the "down since" number calculation changed to include the total time that the alert wasn't up (or unknown). adam.

Unfortunately I can not find it anywhere and as a desperate attempt to see if it were specified anywhere I performed a very dirty search: 'grep -r "ifLastChange" /etc/observium/‘ which yielded nothing of any significance. Sorry if you feel I’m being retarded but I simply can’t find it :/ Jake Turner On 19 Apr 2014, at 03:58, Adam Armstrong <adama(a)memetic.org<mailto:adama@memetic.org>> wrote: On 2014-04-18 21:34, Jake Turner wrote: Hmm, not sure what documentation is in the code, perhaps I was looking at the wrong files. It would appear however that the ifLastChange field is only changed whenever that particular record gets ‘updated’. The MySQL column has 'on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP’ as it’s attribute. I’m thinking of removing that and creating a separate script to update this column with the interface change time as reported by the device. If you're not capable of finding where it's updated in the code, you possibly don't want to be modifying the code you can't be bothered to read. adam. _______________________________________________ observium mailing list observium(a)observium.org<mailto:observium@observium.org> http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium _______________________________________________ observium mailing list observium(a)observium.org<mailto:observium@observium.org> http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium _______________________________________________ observium mailing list observium(a)observium.org<mailto:observium@observium.org> http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium _______________________________________________ observium mailing list observium(a)observium.org<mailto:observium@observium.org> http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium _______________________________________________ observium mailing list observium(a)observium.org<mailto:observium@observium.org> http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium _______________________________________________ observium mailing list observium(a)observium.org<mailto:observium@observium.org> http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium

graphs for power usage on Tripplite PDUMH30ATNET
by Jeff Courtade 22 Apr '14

22 Apr '14

Hello, I have successfully added in a Tripplite PDUMH30ATNET. It successfully detects and uses the OPS mib when it sets up and has a nice little tripplite icon. The only thing it seems to be graphing is the Ethernet traffic on the one ethernet interface on the device. What I want to see graphs of are the power usage on each of the power outlets and inputs. Any help would be appreciated. -- Thanks, Jeff Courtade Director of Systems Engineering Adjuggler Inc http://www.adjuggler.com M: 240.507.6116

Robbie, Thanks for staying on top of this. We've been trying to scare up support on the UBNT forum for about 6 months now to get a large group of people to donate to the Observium project, but until it works... it's hard to get people to pay for it. *Josh Reynolds* Chief Information Officer SPITwSPOTS josh(a)spitwspots.com | www.spitwspots.com

Map issue
by Johnathon Voegeli 19 Apr '14

19 Apr '14

Does anyone know how to fix this? All the SysLocation fields are identical, but when they go on the map it places 2 blips a few miles a part. This is on all of my locations. I suspect its an easy fix to blow that part of the database away and let it reload them. I believe it started happening when the map updated the last time.

Port 'Last Changed' visibility
by Jake Turner 19 Apr '14

19 Apr '14

Hi all, I can't seem to see this feature on the port details page or the 'all ports' list but forgive me if it is visible somewhere. It would be useful to have a 'last changed' time (30 mins ago) etc... on the port details page. This info can be gained from SNMP and from what I can see is already in the DB so it would just be a case of adding it to the page code. Thanks Jake
