by Luca Sasdelli 27 Jun '19

27 Jun '19

Hi, version 19.6.9959: all RRDs last update one week ago. Neither system log nor observium logs show any issue. /rrd folder permissions are as before. What should I check? Thanks Luca

Reports
by Christian Eriksson 24 Jun '19

24 Jun '19

Hi, Since there is no reporting in Observium, how do you get a list of devices and the metric "availability"? That value is not stored in the DB (I think), the only way is to retrieve it from the RRD files, correct? Regards Christian

Cisco ASA in Azure?
by Storer, Darren 24 Jun '19

24 Jun '19

Hi, Has anyone else noticed that the soft version of Cisco ASA, hosted in Azure, just reports back as a generic device, without any of the lovely ASA specific features that Observium normally displays? 'Cisco Firepower Threat Defense, Version 6.2.3.13 (Build 53), ASA Version 9.9(2)51' Regards Darren

Am I missing a MIB? Thanks Jay

Confusing Poe+ Sensor alerts/warnings
by James Tandy 21 Jun '19

21 Jun '19

Hi, Hardware: HPE J9780A Switch 2530-8-PoEP Did some digging, thanks to the very helpful new? tool https://mibs.observium.org/mib/HP-ICF-POE-MIB/#hpicfPoePethPsePortPower It appears the PoE Power warning is based on being over poe (not poe+) limits, not sure how it determines what the maximum allowed should be. For PoE+ Switches it is 30W The seemingly undocumented OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.1.9.1.1.1.16 gives the following output: .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.1.9.1.1.1.16.1.1 = 1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.1.9.1.1.1.16.1.2 = 1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.1.9.1.1.1.16.1.3 = 2 .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.1.9.1.1.1.16.1.4 = 1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.1.9.1.1.1.16.1.5 = -1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.1.9.1.1.1.16.1.6 = 2 .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.1.9.1.1.1.16.1.7 = 1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.1.9.1.1.1.16.1.8 = -1 Ports 1,2,4 and 7 have PoE devices attached. Ports 3 and 6 have PoE+ devices and ports 4 and 8 are disconnected. This table matches the 'PLC Type' column in the switch GUI. Hopefully this could be useful in making more meaningful PoE Power status warnings/alerts. Also not sure why Current causes an alert.. We have 3 of these switches, some of which show 0.22A as ok, while other ports alert as low as 94mA -- Regards, James Tandy TandyUK Servers Limited Tel: 01903 247 011 Www: http://www.tandyukservers.co.uk Email: support(a)tandyukservers.co.uk TandyUK Servers Limited Registered in England and Wales, Company number 8314911 VAT Registered in the UK, number 182 0661 19 Registered Office: Amelia House, Crescent Road, Worthing, BN11 1QR

how to skip SNMP check and only evaluate ICMP for some devices (HPE)?
by Thomas Stather 19 Jun '19

19 Jun '19

Hi Observium version: r9964 (rolling) OS: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Is there a way to only evaluate the ICMP answers for certain devices (and skip SNMP)? I know that it can be done the other way round (there is a switch in the device props). We run a bunch of H3C/HP/HPE switches and there are no SNMP answers sometimes which lead to false-positives (i know about this issue already). During the next polling run, the alert is then cleared and this is annoying. Best, Thomas -- Thomas Stather IT Services VCP4, VCP6-DCV, VCP6.5-DCV Tel: +49 6221 486 628 Fax: +49 6221 486 561

Hi All How simple is it to graph a UPS load in observium? We have bought a new UPS, and observium found all sorts from it straight away However it doesn’t appear to show a LOAD capacity? Its a MegaTec network card and Power Inspired UPS The snmp exists in min already - upsSmartOutputLoad and it only shows a percentage Maybe I can add a graph under the Capacity ? Regards Simon
