DD-WRT question
by Roland Hill 06 Jul '15

06 Jul '15

Hi, I run Observium on my home network, so appreciate the CE Edition (CE 0.15.6.6430). I have 2 dd-wrt based switches, and I remember when they were first discovered by Observium quite a while back, they displayed a dd-wrt logo on the device list. This hasn't occurred for a while now, and I just was interested to know if it is possible for this to happen? Screen shots attached fyi (hopefully they won't get stripped). This is a very minor question (hope the "noise is okay"), but if anyone has an answer I'd appreciate it. -- Regards, Roland Hill

Hi Andy, It seems sometimes the payment processor is a tiny bit slow at sending us subscription creation events. It is all automated, though! Usually on a Friday, too! Thanks, Adam.

Scaling adjustment for UPS sensors
by Robert Williams 03 Jul '15

03 Jul '15

Hi, Is there a way to adjust the re-scaling for auxiliary UPS sensors? We’ve just been given some external sensors for our Riello units to play with; and whilst Observium can indeed see them, their temperatures are out by one decimal place: [cid:image001.png@01D0B4D2.A73E1560] (it should be 19.5C, obviously) The RH is fine interestingly, and this is only affecting the ‘external’ sensors in the NetMan card, not the built-in sensor. Interestingly, Riello also give out the ‘chassis’ temperature under the ‘battery’ temperature OID, which is why it shows our batteries as 27 degrees, they are not - and this is not Observium’s fault ☺ Anyway, is there a manual ‘tweak’ to correct the scaling for the temperature?

Re: [Observium] ifSpeed/ifHighSpeed messages - HP C7000 Virtual Connect
by Oesterlin, Robert 03 Jul '15

We saw the same thing when we tested SolarWinds, so it’s definitely on the HP side. Pending me to get HP to actually fix the bug, can you think of a way I can suppress these messages, either filtering them out or limiting the SNMP response? Of course I can always tweak the code, but that’s a last resort option. Bob Oesterlin Sr Storage Engineer, Nuance Communications 507-269-0413

ifSpeed/ifHighSpeed messages - HP C7000 Virtual Connect
by Oesterlin, Robert 03 Jul '15

03 Jul '15

We recently installed Observium and we’re receiving messages from the majority of our C7000 Virtual connects in the event log that look like this: 2015-07-03 06:28:32 lag27 Interface changed: [ifSpeed] 10000000000 -> 40000000000; [ifHighSpeed] 10000 -> 40000 2015-07-03 06:23:31 lag27 Interface changed: [ifSpeed] 40000000000 -> 10000000000; [ifHighSpeed] 40000 -> 10000 2015-07-02 23:58:34 lag27 Interface changed: [ifSpeed] 10000000000 -> 40000000000; [ifHighSpeed] 10000 -> 40000 2015-07-02 23:53:38 lag27 Interface changed: [ifSpeed] 40000000000 -> 10000000000; [ifHighSpeed] 40000 -> 10000 These VC’s have a 4 port LACP group to the core switch. I see nothing in the system log on either side that would indicate the interface speed is actually changing (link downs, errors) or other SNMP errors, so I’m inclined to think these message can be ignored. Any thoughts? If it’s a bug in the HP SNMP implementation on the VC’s I can submit a ticket. Otherwise I’d like to find a way to suppress them if I can.

Hi All, The subs are showing now, not sure if someone tweaked something somewhere. Still no email but thanks. Thanks Andy From: observium [mailto:observium-bounces@observium.org] On Behalf Of Franks Andy (IT Technical Architecture Manager) Sent: 03 July 2015 10:39 To: 'observium(a)observium.org' Subject: [Observium] potential purchase issue Hi all, Who would I speak to about not having purchase confirmation come back from the paddle purchasing screen? I fought for ages to get my boss to approve of the spend and the hospital actually got a credit card in line with the requirements for the site. Now we've paid for the subs, got the big green tick under the hamster logo in the payment processing screen, but then after dropping back to the subs screen in the account area, it says we have no paid subscription. I also haven't received an email yet, and it's been a while. I am concerned! Thanks Andy Franks.

Configuring map interface on new observium installation
by Andi Qirjazi 02 Jul '15

02 Jul '15

Hi, I have just installed & configured observium for the first time. The first two devices are added and seems working, but I'm having problem displaying these devices on the map. All the time there is a blue sign on the middle on Atlantic ocean, it doesn't matter what I configure as device location. Please any idea how to configure the map? I have tried all the possible configurations at /opt/observium/config.php settings but with no success. This installation is behind a proxy server, but I have allowed all the traffic from observium host and I don't see any traffic from this host towards proxy server. thanks in advance, Andi Qirjazi
