Alert checker for device down
by Erik INGEBERG 02 May '14

02 May '14

Hi, Is there a way for using the new alerting system to send an e-mail when a device goes down? I see in the wiki that there is a "device_status" metric, but I can't figure out how to use it. There is no "Device" entity type when I try to make a new alert checker. Is this feature still in development? Erik

Error Drawing Graph During Rollover For Port Errors
by Chip Pleasants 02 May '14

02 May '14

Hi, I get a "Error Drawing Graph" for Port Error graphs when rolling over or going into the graph. I see a error looking at the rrdtool information. "RRDTool Output: ERROR: Not a valid vname: totinB0 in line GPRINT:totinB0:%6.2lf%sB ". I'd really appreciate if anyone could help me fix this or provide some information. Thanks, -Chip [image: Inline image 1] [image: Inline image 2]

Hey guys, I tried to open the website on my android phone with three different browsers (native, firefox, chrome), but it seems that the header is hungry for space! :-) Cheers, Stefano

Strange temperature and voltage readings
by Matthew A Harper 02 May '14

02 May '14

Hi Guys, First time posting - Be gentle ;) I've recently implemented Observium for our department and am absolutely loving it. However after an update this morning I have noticed that some devices are reporting weird readings for their sensors. Temperature and voltage specifically are reporting absurd variables (2209 degrees CPU temp / 1.45KV on a 1.2V rail). http://i.imgur.com/MG5NBA8.png - Random sample of temperature http://i.imgur.com/u8Emr3J.png - Random sample of voltage This issue seems to affect CISCO hardware but does not seem to be specific to a particular model or software revision and has only occurred since the DB Schema was updated this morning. Is anyone else seeing similar results with version 5405? Oh and yes, I confirmed these devices are not on fire or being struck by lightning. :) Regards, Matt. *********************************************************************** WARNING: This email (including any attachments) may contain legally privileged, confidential or private information and may be protected by copyright.

Re: [Observium] Snmptrap Integration?

We don't do snmptraps. Adam. Ryan Prihoda wrote: Hey all, Is there any way for observium to display snmptraps, specifically from dell dracs ? I see on the wiki that snmptt integration is possible but experimental. I have configured a test drac, snmptrapd, and snmptt. I can see in /var/log/messages that the test message from the drac is reaching the server, but I don't see it showing up in observium. Am I overlooking something fundamental ? Is this even possible ?

BGP update count missing
by Matt Ladewig 30 Apr '14

30 Apr '14

After updating from 5391 to 5399, BGP prefix update counts are not showing in the graphs, or in the up and down arrow counts next to each session. The total prefix counts are graphing correctly. All BGP sessions are missing the update counts. Matt UniVoIP [observium_bgp_5399.PNG]

2 things with alerting
by Bastiaan Topper 30 Apr '14

30 Apr '14

Hi, We have 2 strange things with the alerting system since a few days. - 1. The frontpage displays ports up/down, even when the alerting for that port is disabled in the device settings. Is this normal? Because this wasn't till a few days ago. [cid:image001.png@01CF5ED2.3C5BB560] [cid:image002.png@01CF5ED2.3C5BB560] - 2. Some alert checks worked fine for months, but now they fail. (I only have the database output, because the http://observium/alert_checks/ links returns a blank page, maybe because the result is too big?): [cid:image003.png@01CF5ED2.7A406F60] I attached the debug poll of one of the devices. The polling debug output returns: Checking alert 4 associated by 4 replaced @sensor_limit with 5.92 from entity. Testing: sensor_value greater 5.92 (value: 5.187) FAIL replaced @sensor_limit_low with 4.37 from entity. Testing: sensor_value less 4.37 (value: 5.187) OK Checks failed. Generate alert. What I expect (and what it did for the last months) this alert rule to do, is to fail when the sensor value is not between the threshold ranges. It looks like it is only for the voltage and current sensors. [cid:image004.png@01CF5ED4.23531980] When I check the settings and alerting thresholds, they look fine to me. [cid:image005.png@01CF5ED4.23531980] Am I doing something wrong? Or is this some kind of bug? Thanks and regards, Bastiaan Topper

Graphs not graphing after update.
by Tom Taylor 30 Apr '14

30 Apr '14

Howdy, Having a strange problem, after updating too the latest version my graphs seem to have stopped working. There are files in the /rrd dir, I've double checked the path in config.php for fping and everything seems to be correct. Could someone point me in the right direction on what to look out for ? -TT Tom Taylor Head of Engineering, Chicago T +1 312 605 8900 The Mill 54 West Hubbard Street, Suite 502, Chicago, IL 60654 www.themill.com | www.themillblog.com | www.twitter.com/millchannel | www.facebook.com/millchannel
