Rancid git with remote pollers
by Brad Bendy 09 Nov '20

09 Nov '20

Hi, I know this is slightly off topic but was wondering if anyone has ran into this. We have rancid on our remote pollers working and grabbing configs. Now on a single Observium instance you just enable it in the config and the integration works spot on as the SVN/GIT is local. Has anyone got this to work where they store the configs locally on the remote poller and then push a copy to the master observium box so they show up in the GUI? Or are you using a central GIT server on the master and just the proper settings in the rancid.conf file? Thanks

Observium Entreprise Edition and multiple pollers?
by Johann Mallet 06 Nov '20

06 Nov '20

Hello, Do you have any guide about Entreprise Edition? How do multiple pollers working on different servers work? Do we need to use RRDCached and/or NFS shares? Or poller instances store on local servers and Observium interface make proxy for RRD data? Best Regards, Johann

Widget Configuration
by Ahmed Rahal 05 Nov '20

05 Nov '20

Hi ! I saw that the widgets on dashboards can have specific configurations (database table 'dash_widgets', field 'widget_config') but I seem to find no documentation about this. Also the UI somehow does not allow me to change any of the parameters. Am I missing something here ? Ahmed.

Hey guys, i am trying to set a group alarm where all my routers are on it. But I am not able to have it set correctly, and in the alerts configurations webpage is not clear enough. Can you please help me on how to set an alarm for any item on a group when a router is down? Also, is there some other page to learn about alarm creations? Also, now that I am sending this email, I need to check services (apache / sql / etc) I saw there was a couple of scripts to be set into the snmp.conf file, how can I create other to monitor different services? Thanks in advace!!!

Event log noise
by John Borrow 01 Nov '20

01 Nov '20

Hi all, Our event log is clogging up with multiple current and voltage threshold entries, for example see below; Current gi24 PoE Current above threshold: 0.158 A (> 0.1155 A) Current gi3 PoE Current above threshold: 0.115 A (> 0.102 A) Voltage gi24 PoE Voltage above threshold: 119 V (> 63.25 V) Voltage gi9 PoE Voltage above threshold: 113 V (> 60.95 V) Apologies if this is a dumb question, as I'm knew to the software, but does anyone know a good way of removing these entries besides adjusting the threshold of every network device. Monitoring voltages and currents isn't a high priority for us, so happy to turn these off globally. Many thanks for your help.

Additional portpercent element/widget on frontpage?
by Gumilar Siegfried MSc. 29 Oct '20

29 Oct '20

Hello! I would love to be able to add a second Traffic Comparison (portpercent) with different port groups to our dashboard. Is that somehow possible? Right now I can add a second "Traffic Composition" Widget in the dashboard edit mode, but it still uses the same port groups as the other one. This is how our current configuration looks like: $config['frontpage']['order'] = array('status_summary', 'map', 'overall_traffic', 'portpercent', 'device_status', 'altert_table', 'syslog', 'eventlog'); $config['frontpage']['portpercent']['Peering'] = array('group' => 5); $config['frontpage']['portpercent']['Transit'] = array('group' => 6); $config['frontpage']['portpercent']['options'] = array('graph_format' => 'single'); In my opinion, it would be best if you could simply use portpercent2, for example, to configure the next widget. Regards, Siegfried

graphing total PoE
by Eric W. Bates 27 Oct '20

27 Oct '20

We use a lot of cisco 2960 PoE switches in stacks and we want to know the total demand of the stack. Currently Observium gives us a separate "PoE Group n" for each switch in the stack so those are handy subtotals. But is there a way to create a custom graph with the sum of all the PoE Groups? -- Clark 159a, MS 46 508/289-3112
