Cisco 4500X VSS, no cpu values
by Bryan Socha 01 Jun '13

Hello, We added some Cisco 4500X switches to our network with a VSS setup and observium shows 0 for the cpu usage. Any ideas on how to get it to populate? Bryan Socha

Polling
by Wes Kennedy 01 Jun '13

01 Jun '13

I recently added in 25 new routers to be monitored and as of two hours later, they haven't been polled. They have all been Discovered properly, but not polled. All of my existing hosts are polling just fine. Has anyone seen this? -Wes

Help with ldap group access/permissions
by Tracy Phillips 30 May '13

30 May '13

Hi, I have configured Observium to authenticate against ldap and it works great. This is my configuration for authentication: $config['auth_mechanism'] = "ldap"; $config['auth_ldap_version'] = 3; $config['auth_ldap_server'] = "ldap.example.net"; $config['auth_ldap_port'] = 389; $config['auth_ldap_starttls'] = FALSE; $config['auth_ldap_prefix'] = "uid="; $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",ou=People,dc=example,dc=net"; $config['auth_ldap_group'] = "cn=observium,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=net"; Everything works as expected until I get to this point. When I go to add a new device or view the global configuration, I get the message: ERROR You have insufficient permissions to view this page. I have confirmed that I am in the observium-admin group. This is what I have for group permissions: $config['auth_ldap_groupbase'] = "ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=net"; $config['auth_ldap_groups']['observium-admin']['level'] = 10; There is nothing relevant in the observium.log. Is there something that I am missing or does anyone have thought that might help me resolve this issue? Thanks in advance for any hints you can throw my way! Tracy

I want to say THANK YOU

I work for a small ISP. For the past few weeks things have been running slow on the network. After working on and off of the problem for some time will no fix, I had to take a break from the problem. So I setup a VM running centos, I installed your software (the rhel howto has some mistakes). I then added the core switches and routers, 9 devices later I had the core mapped. After the software was running for 10 mins I started to see a problem. The core router that links up two ISP with BGP was having interface errors. Comes to find out the interfaces was running at half duplex. After fixing the duplex error the network came back to life. I would like to say thank for the software and I am a kickstarter supporter. -- Zach Underwood (RHCE,RHCSA,RHCT) My website <http://zachunderwood.me> My photes <http://zunder1990.openphoto.me>

SNMP Printer polling
by Matthew Coene 30 May '13

30 May '13

Good morning everyone... Ok.. I have my Canon printers working polling when using jetdirect as the OS type in separate include files in /observium/includes/discovery/os/, I was hoping to make them their own icon, and subset in the definitions.inc.php but seeing as how jetdirect is already declared as its own (I assume string?) (forgive me I am not a programmer)... Can I still make a separate definitions entry code block and split the 'jetdirect' code to a separate entity so I can leave the HP printers stuff alone and do the Canon separately?? Cheers, M.

Tom has the printer fetish. It's probably not hard for him to add if proper MIBs exist. I think you're all weirdos for monitoring printers, though... Adam.
