Port groups unusable in alerts checks ?
by Thibault Richard 25 Jul '18

25 Jul '18

Hello, Ive defined several port groups as you can see below : 1° First question I would like to add a condition equivalent to ifOperStatus equals up but this kind of condition doesnt exist in the pre-defined list. Am I missing something ? 2° Second question I would like to use this group in an Alert Checks but in the entity association ruleset, I can use a Device Group but not a Port Group No « Port Group » and if I try to use Device Group I see only groups related to devices Bug of misunderstanding from me ? Best Regards Thibault

Zoom in, city level
by Ricardo Franco Cantero 23 Jul '18

23 Jul '18

Hi, Is there an option create a zoomed in 'home page' where you can set a specific size of the map? For example, we have our entire county now displaying on the homepage on the map but we would like to see a city only so that we can display this city onto a separate monitor of us. Kind regards, Ricardo Franco Cantero

New record?
by Markus Klock 21 Jul '18

Hi guys, just wanted to show the new Observium I deployed for a customer this week :) Everything polled from one single server without problems (pollingtime is about 140s for all devices) Big thanks to Mike who helped me identify and fix a scaling issue when running a huge amount of threads. (if you run an Observium-install that runs poller-wrapper with 100+ threads you should check out r9333) /Markus

additional file systems not shown in Observium
by Thomas Stather 20 Jul '18

20 Jul '18

Hi I am using Observium (subscribtion edition 18.1.9011) and want to monitor the file-systems of my servers. This works fine, but i have a VM which has additional filesystems (one local and some via NFS), and they don't show up what shows up is: / /boot /var/lib/docker/overlay what doesn't show up (but exists) is: /var/lib/samba/profiles /mnt/nfs/dept1 /mnt/nfs/dept2 VM OS: Debian 8 Version of net-snmp: 5.7.2.1+dfsg-1+deb8u1+b1 I didn't do any changes to the snmpd.conf on the VM rather than SNMPv3 authentication settings. Does somebody have any hint for me how to fix this?

Re: [Observium] Syslog Integration

Hi Brian, you configured syslog daemon complete at same way in Pro as in CE? You use rsyslog daemon? How to debug syslog receiver (for rsyslog): 1. In Global Setting Edit -> Syslog -> Enable Syslog DEBUG 2. Validate that rsyslog daemon have permissions to write into logs dir: $ ls -l /opt/observium | grep logs 2.a Simple is add write permissions for all: $ sudo chmod 777 /opt/observium/logs 3. restart rsyslog: $ sudo service rsyslog restart 4. Now see debug.*.syslog files in logs dir: $ ls /opt/observium/logs/*.syslog When syslog msg from host received, here will added file: debug.<host>.syslog Where <host> is received hostname by rsyslog daemon, in your case this <host> must be complete same as device hostname in observium server. Inside this log files you will see full syslog messages like this: [2018/03/21 17:51:32 +0300] syslog.php(5563): <host>||4||6||6||sshd[9497]:||2018-03-21 17:51:32|| Received disconnect from 221.194.47.239 port 36596:11: [preauth]||sshd Here also <host> entry as first part of message. If <host> not same as device hostname (I think this is your trouble), than read this docs: http://docs.observium.org/syslog/#match-syslog-hostnameip-with-device > Brian Hilmers <mailto:bhilmers@scripps.edu> > 20 July 2018 at 02:07 > > Hello, > > Our organization recently upgraded from the Community version to > Professional.

Syslog Integration
by Brian Hilmers 20 Jul '18

20 Jul '18

Hello, Our organization recently upgraded from the Community version to Professional. While using the Community version on Ubuntu 16.04 we found syslog integration worked well and setup was easy following the documentation. After purchasing a subscription, we installed Observium on a new Ubuntu 16.04 machine, but cannot get syslog integration to work. I have configured the target machine to send syslog messages to Observium and, using tcpdump, can confirm the Observium server is receiving messages on the correct port from the target with FQDN. However, the Observium web interface show "no syslog entries." What is the best way to diagnose and fix this problem? Brian Hilmers
