Traffic accounting not working anymore
by Anthony Polselli 13 Dec '23

13 Dec '23

We recently built a new server with Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS and migrated Observium over. Everything seams to be working fine except for the Traffic Accounting. On the summary screen, it shows data from months ago (just before the upgrade), but when you click on one of the "bills" and look at the bandwidth graph, it's blank. I've tried adding a new bill and it same thing, no data. But if I click on the interface and go the that switch port, all the graphs are there. How can I reconnect the Traffic Accounting to pull data from the switchport graphs again? Thanks all!

units on error graphs?
by Tony Guadagno 04 Dec '23

04 Dec '23

Hi, sorry if this is obvious, but it just occurred to me that I don't understand this graph. This comes from an Ethernet port on a cisco router.... [cid:image001.jpg@01DA26BB.DFC59A20] What are the units??for example the "last in errors/s" is 44.25m???? 44.24 million? That can't be right. Thanks in advance Tony Guadagno O +1 585 577 1003 C +1 585 703 6700 E tonyg(a)guadagnoconsulting.com<mailto:tonyg@guadagnoconsulting.com> [cid:image001.jpg@01D84DD6.FC9912E0]

is it possible to disable an alert checker?
by Tony Guadagno 30 Nov '23

Hi, is it possible to disable a specific alert checker without deleting it? I am debugging an alert checker that is pretty noisy so I want to stop the alerts for a bit but I don't want to loose the work I have put into it. thanks Tony Guadagno O +1 585 577 1003 C +1 585 703 6700 E tonyg(a)guadagnoconsulting.com<mailto:tonyg@guadagnoconsulting.com> [cid:image001.jpg@01D84DD6.FC9912E0]

cisco router tunnel interfaces
by Tony Guadagno 28 Nov '23

28 Nov '23

Hi, I just noticed that Observium does not seem to list GRE Tunnel interfaces on Cisco routers. Are one of these including Tunnel interfaces? How do I get tunnel interfaces polled? thanks [cid:image002.jpg@01DA2205.08A73E50] Tony Guadagno O +1 585 577 1003 C +1 585 703 6700 E tonyg(a)guadagnoconsulting.com<mailto:tonyg@guadagnoconsulting.com> [cid:image001.jpg@01D84DD6.FC9912E0]

is there an alert kill switch?
by Tony Guadagno 28 Nov '23

28 Nov '23

Hi, when my Microsoft servers patch monthly, they often reboot and that causes an alert that is unnecessary for me. Is there a way (maybe a script I could write) that would disable alerting? I am thinking about making a cron job that would run monthly (at the time I am patching) that would disable alerting...then maybe 2 hrs later, re-enable alerting. Is this possible?

Security Questions
by Wilkinson, Matthew 27 Nov '23

27 Nov '23

Hello, I am deploying Observium into a secured environment and I've a few questions. * What security measures are in place to protect subscription SVN branch? * Does SVN do any checksums or hashing of the code after it is checkout to the client to ensure no malicious attempts were made in transit? * Is there a contact name and email we can document in cases where we need to get direct support? * Is there a regular notification mechanism for updates to Observium? E.g. via the mailing list or blog post? In other words, how do we find out about new security patches? Thanks for any and all help. Matt

Recover dashboard and alerts
by Chris James 26 Nov '23

26 Nov '23

We recently had to rebuild our observium server. Of course we lost the custom dashboards and alerts. Everything in the old observium directory was backed off. Can we recover the dashboards and alerts from the old directory? Chris James Vessel Production Systems Manager Infrastructure & Support

snmp syslocation dynamic geolocation
by Chris James 26 Nov '23

26 Nov '23

Does anyone know a way of integrating dynamic positioning into snmp? Usually you put the location in to syslocation attribute in snmpd.conf file. We have vessels which move about and wondered if there was away of using dynamic positioning. We have plenty of GPS sources onboard so not a problem there.
