creating custom probe

Hi, I wanted to create a custom probe to read two values from Cisco devices which aren't available via their SNMP agents. How do i get my probe included and What to i need to present the two values (current value, max value) in a graph and trigger an alert when the current value reaches 90% of the max value? Thanks, Cody

Re: [Observium] How to exclude "virtual Memory" from an alert checker (but keep all other memory metrics)?

Hi I set the following Device Match / Entity Match: (device.type in server AND (mempool.mempool_descr notmatch *cache* OR mempool.mempool_descr notmatch *Virtual*)) However, the alert is still displayed (which is true since the virtual memory of one of our VMs is stil labove 80%). How can i reset the alert to test that the condition now works as expected?

All port types are correctly detected by SNMP and listed against the Router. Given that "Core" displays graphs correctly, this doesn't seem to be related to QinQ, but specifically to the "Cust" prefix.

I installed smokeping, generated the targets file with the script and smokeping is running and updating the rrd's. I set the smokeping directory in the gui but i do not get the smokeping tab on the devices. Is there anything else to do? I'm not seeing something wrong - how do i troubleshoot/identify why the smokeping tab doesn't appear? thanks

Aha, I see what it’s doing. You missed out the actual query, which makes it more obvious what’s happening /graph.php?type=customer_bits&id=herp,derp&debug=1 Generates: SELECT * FROM `ports` AS I, `devices` AS D WHERE `port_descr_type` = 'cust' AND `port_descr_descr` = 'herp','derp' AND D.device_id = I.device_id We have a bit of code in the URL parser that expands any argument with a comma into an array of arguments, it’s used when you put in a list of port_ids for example. It’s expanding this here, and we’re passing an array of values to the SQL query builder. I’m not sure how much would need to be changed to suppress this behaviour in this instance, so I’d recommend just not putting commas in port descriptions! Thanks, Adam.

(click on the graph) Do you get anything useful from adding &debug=1 on the end of the graph image url? Can you arrange ssh/http access to the install if those two things don’t show us what the problem is? Adam.

I was facing the same issue, the rrd files are not generated for some routers for only ports. You can check if the rrd files are present under /opt/observium/rrd/<device_name>/port*.rrd I ran the poller explicitly and the rrd files were generated. You can try the same on that specific device, with the following command. sudo ./poller.php -h <device_id> -m ports -dd watch out for the snmpbulkwalk command that gets printed on the screen.
