Enterasys Chassis Switches polling\discovery problems
by Austin Spencer 12 Sep '14

12 Sep '14

Hello all, I've been trying to find out some more information. I'm in the testing run of trying to migrate from Cacti to Observium. Enterasys standalone switches seem to poll data okay (other then memory and CPU) but the Chassis series like the S8 or N7's seem to be giving me a problem. The polling and discovery of these devices appear to hang. Looking at the polling\discovery history from the WebUI just shows 999.99s. Are there any tweaks I can do to get these devices to pull correctly? -Austin

Class names under CBQoS?
by Chip Pleasants 12 Sep '14

12 Sep '14

Hi all, I don't see class names under the CBQoS section of the interface. I'm running 0.14.9.5798, which I believe is the latest for the commercial version. Is this in the works or should I be able to see them in this version? Thanks, Chip

professional edition and supported distributions?
by Pablo Escobar Lopez 12 Sep '14

12 Sep '14

Hi, We have been testing observium and now we are considering the possibility to upgrade to the professional version. Is CentOS supported under the professional license or should we stay using ubuntu or debian? thanks for your help.

Manually edit the port name / description
by Anthony Polselli 12 Sep '14

12 Sep '14

We have a Zyxel DSLAM ADSL switch and Observium is polling fine, but it doesn't pull the customer name field. Is there a way (if I can figure out the OID) to add that to the polling or manual set a description for each ADSL port?

Real time graphs resets much before
by Arya, Renuka [BSD] - MED 12 Sep '14

12 Sep '14

Hi Team, I was doing some "real time graphs" for interfaces on one of our switch devices. I ran the tests for 15 seconds of Polling interval. The page says the "graph shows last 3600 (60 mins)" but it seems they get resets in 4-5 mins and restarts itself. Has anyone see anything similar before? Version of Observium : CE 14.4.5229 Thanks!

Hi All. Thank you for the reply. I do agree that this information is not published via snmp. Maybe it will be the first system to use telnet or ssh and do some text parsing. Its also a lot more reliable. That can be a great thing. Thanks again David.

(You can search for it on the top right) 2) Click on the "Ports" tab. 3) If this is a router, there will be a tab called "ARP/NDP Table", this is IPv4 and IPv6 mapping of MAC address to IP address. If this device was only a layer-2 switch, then this tab would not be displayed. 4) There is a tab called "FDB Table", this is the mapping of MAC address to switchport. (I have always called this the CAM table). Due to the functionality of broadcasts, this will show every device in the same VLAN (the MAC address is seen on switch uplinks) However, I wish there was a node lookup tool that showed which switchport a computer was plugged into. We should be able to identify the interface closest to the computer by removing all interfaces that are CDP/LLDP neighbors with another known network device. Does this make sense?

Maybe I got it Wrong.
by Dudu 11 Sep '14

11 Sep '14

Hi All, I'm new here and I'm not sure about the port view. I can see the neighbours and computers on the vlan on right side , the command looks like show ip arp Maybe it's better to map the computer to the port itself? sh mac address-table So out of the box we will know which server is connected to which port. That could help to find VM's as well. Many Thanks David.
