Perf_time tables
by Jeremy Custenborder 10 Oct '13

10 Oct '13

Are the perf_times and devices_perftimes used for anything other than diagnostics at the moment? These tables are the significant majority of the data in our database. I truncated them once to free up some space. Is this something that I could do on a regular basis? perf_times => 2013-09-20 04:00:02 to 2013-10-10 17:23:21 generated 25,476,751 rows devices_perftimes => 2013-09-20 20:45:02 to 2013-10-10 17:40:21 generated 24,536,885 rows

Mailing alert for hosts down
by BERTRAND Adrien [BPCE Assurances] 10 Oct '13

10 Oct '13

Good afternoon everyone, I'm a security administrator from a French insurance company and me and my collegues are interested in your powerful monitoring tool. I've tested it recently and was amazed by the pretty easy installation of such an intuitive software :-) I've also discovered your splitting editions and your intentions for the future and agree with that. The pricing is correct in front of all the work you (all the devs) have done. The only things I would to know to convince my chief that it's the tool we need, is : do you have a roadmap for the alerting module ? Because, if I've correctly understood, you have done a successful Kickstarter campaign to implement the alerting module, but from my last tests (one of the last free SVN edition, something like r4400) the alerting module wasn't really enabled, even after changing the config.php and setting the mailing alerts (with the right SMTP relay, recipient, etc...). Another question is, when (or how if I've done it wrong ...) do you plan to enable mail alerts for hosts down ? I didn't search in all your archives (only the last months) but I'm sorry if the questions was already asked ... and I'm sorry for my rough English ... Thank you in advance for your answer(s), Adrien Bertrand Information security administrator BPCE Assurances

You probably don't want to change any of that... What are you trying to accomplish? Adam.

Client \ Server Observium
by Randy Coburn 09 Oct '13

09 Oct '13

Hi All, I was wondering if there was a way to get a copy of Observium to be a collector and then somehow send that data to a display server. Our issue is that we would like to collect the stats as close to the devices as possible and then transport them over to the central server where we can view them all. If this is as easy as doing some mysql scripting then we should be ok to get it done. However a push in the right direction would be welcome. NewVoiceMedia are proud gold sponsors of Dreamforce.

Observium Community / Professional
by Adam Armstrong 09 Oct '13

09 Oct '13

Hi Guys, As we talked about in April, to sustain development we need to develop a revenue stream. The temporary solution in April was the Kickstarter, which funded 6 months of development for the alerting system. To fund development after that, we've decided to try a relatively inexpensive subscription scheme. http://www.observium.org/Edition_Split The intention is to provide enough for free to keep the people who wouldn't ever pay happy, and try to keep the price low enough that everyone else can pay without worrying too much about it. We've set the subscription at £100/year. If you were a Kickstarter supporter, you'll get a free subscription for a while, because we're nice like that. Comments? :) adam.

Hi, just installed observium on a new host. Everything seems to be fine except that no RRD graphs are shown. I tried to run the poller-wrapper from the CLI and I get this error: /opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py File "/opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py", line 96 with open(config_file) as f: pass ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax Any hints? Thanks Chris ------------------- OpenPGP: 0x1F814CFD Threema: ZKZ2WZR7

Memory Usage: what is there displayed?
by Wiethoff, Helge 09 Oct '13

09 Oct '13

Hi all, i have a little problem with the Memory-Usage-Graph. I hope it wasn't discussed already: What is displayed there? :-) It says: "Used: -2.0GB" As you can see in the attached memory_usage.png X-AS01:/etc/pam.d # free -h total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 4,9G 4,6G 292M 0B 68M 4,1G -/+ buffers/cache: 399M 4,5G Swap: 743M 115M 628M I guess observium is a bit confused because i have a ramdisk? tmpfs on /mnt/ramdisk type tmpfs (rw,relatime,size=4194304k) Is this a observium-Problem or is it a misconfigured by myself?

Port groups under device
by Christian Hügel 09 Oct '13

09 Oct '13

Hi, i wonder if its possible to group port types (eg. all 10GigE) of a specific device. We have some core switches that have lots of modules with a huge amount of ports. If I click to see the graphs of that device it takes way to long while it loads all of the ports of that device. Like: switch1 ------> Module 1 ------> Module 2 ------> PortChannels ------> TenGig ------> VLANs switch2 etc. It would be much faster/easier to go directly to the desired module/port group. Thanks Chris.

Monitoring an NFS share?
by kevin＠techdaddies.com 09 Oct '13

09 Oct '13

We have our backup storage mounted as an NFS share on our devices. We want to monitor each of these shares individually from the servers themselves (Not from the backup server, as that machine is not under our control). I am loving Observium so far but cannot figure out how we can accomplish this task. Disk monitoring is already in place so this doesn't seem like too much of a reach as the mounted share shows up in df -h output. Any tips would be appreciated.
