Observium stack after update
by lom＠digitelitalia.com 10 Apr '15

10 Apr '15

Hi, we have an Observium paid edition and we are experienced a very bad degradation on performances after the last update. It seems (checking with htop) that the rrdttool "eat" all the CPU and stuck on it. We are using RRDCached with this options:" OPTS="-w 1800 -z 1800 -f 3600 -s www-data -l unix:/var/run/rrdcached.sock -j /var/lib/rrdcached/journal/ -F -b /opt/observium/rrd/ -B". Could you help me on identify the problem and make some troubleshooting? Regards digitel Ing.

10 Apr '15

All, Could someone give me some advice on how to monitor services, i'm used to work with Nagios so i'm now a bit in the blind. For what I could read in the documentation the muning plugin is the way to go but will I have alerts / only graphs its not so clear for me. Also the munin installation I could not find any documentation for it. Thanks

Automatic alert regeneration
by Andre Geißler 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

Hi all We're alerting on port errors on ports matching some conditions. If someone will add a port matching those conditions (eg. SFP), the port will not be added automatically to the alert check. Is there a way to automatically regenerate? Cheers Andre

Alert Check not Working
by Johnston, Tom 06 Apr '15

06 Apr '15

I have an alert checker set up to alert for CPU gt 80%. I also have an Alert checker for ifOperStatus. It seems many of the devices have never been checked despite regenerating multiple times. When I hover of the “I” for information its an empty square. Issue happens on the same exact device models and on others we get a result of Checks Ok and some array data under the “I” Devices running identical IOS images, one works, another doesn’t. What information can I gather to help see what the issue may be? Version: Observium 0.15.3.6350 (rolling) Server 4vCPU / 8GB RAM 166 Devices (mostly Cisco Switches)(Polling/Alerting on Mostly Uplinks only, not access interfaces) Thannks.

observium managment should be more professional
by John Brown 06 Apr '15

06 Apr '15

http://afmug.com/pipermail/af/2015-March/018914.html As a provider of internet connectivity (ergo a telco and a ISP) we use licensed microwave and unlicensed microwave technologies to feed our revenue generating customers. We also use fiber, and copper based technologies. microwave != wifi We are not alone in using a mix of technologies to deliver bits to customers. T-Mobile, ATT, Sprint, AllTel, Cellular One, Verizon, etc all use microwave (wireless) technologies to deliver bits. I, like others, have offered to write code, have asked for pointers on how to get started writing code, all appears to have fallen upon deaf ears. I've offered to PAY others to write code to support our kit, with features we need. No takers. As a PAID user, I'm quite shocked and disappointed in Adam's childish behaviour. Users of Observium should be concerned that their continued investment could be a loosing path as more people move AWAY from the product and go support other packages. On two lists that I saw the above URL, not less than 3 dozen people said they where removing observium and not renewing their annual subscriptions. I suspect that will become a trend. Cheers
