Alerting in the Open Source Version
by Ellery Weber 14 Nov '13

14 Nov '13

Hello, I'm currently using the most recent OS version of Observium, and am curious if there is any additional documentation for setting up email alerts (other than http://observium.org/wiki/Configuration_Options#Alert_Settings ). I remember there was a kickstarter earlier this year with the end goal of being able to provide alerting for Observium - was this just going to be for the SVN/subscription version?

by Chris Pelling 13 Nov '13

13 Nov '13

Evening all, I have a Dell 2162DS KVM essentially a rebranded Avocent, have MIB, and the FAQs say its not as easy as "adding a mib" :p I honestly do not mind learning / breaking and getting a bollocking for breaking Observium in trying to get this to work so I can potentially help others :p Who wants to show/tell me where to start and Ill start poking :) Observium sees the device, so thats a good start :-) -- Kind regards, Chris

Non-snmp Devices
by Cory Thibault 13 Nov '13

13 Nov '13

Hello, Is it possible to add non-snmp devices? Say I need to monitor a specific website for uptime but don't have snmp level access. I looked up the services check however from what I understand it still relies on the device being added the usual way which requires snmp. Assuming I can't add non-snmp devices, could someone point me in the right direction on extending Observium to add this functionality? Ultimately, I want 4 monitors: ping, tcp protocol checks (custom ports), http(s) (simple or with response analysis) and ssh. If I can do that, then graphing the results will be trivial. I realize there are other tools that have these features but I prefer the Observium interface. Cheers, Cory

Unable to map aut_ldap_groups
by Christian Hügel 13 Nov '13

13 Nov '13

Hi, I´m using the ldap mechanism to auth against our AD. So far I can log in but unable to see any graphs or devices. Apparently the group: $config['auth_ldap_groups']['ObserviumAdmins']['level'] = 10; are not mapped. However, the group "ObserviumAdmins" is present in AD and my username is member of this group. The auth_ldap_groupbase and auth_ldap_group is also correct. Is there anything else I have to take into consideration? Christian
