Many MikroTiks have dual core CPUs, but some of the Cloud Core Routers have 24, 32, and 72 Tilera Cores at around 1.2GHz. -- Josh Reynolds : Chief Information Officer : SPITwSPOTS : josh(a)spitwspots.com On Thu, 2014-03-27 at 07:04 +0000, observium-request(a)observium.org wrote: > Send observium mailing list submissions to > observium(a)observium.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > observium-request(a)observium.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > observium-owner(a)observium.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of observium digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

port_descr fields
by Martin Smith 26 Mar '14

26 Mar '14

All, Hopefully a quick question about port descriptions. It seems that pot_descr_type and port_descr_descr are gathered from the port description separated by a ":" colon. How are the other fields (port_descr_circuit, port_descr_speed and port_descr_notes) populated? [cid:image002.png@01CF4850.C237BCD0] Thanks!

Re: [Observium] Difference between discovery and discovery with debug [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED

Nope. -d just sets $debug so that things output optional stuff. Very odd indeed.

SVI - Vlan IF graphs
by Marco Spicuglia 26 Mar '14

26 Mar '14

Hello there, I would like to monitor SVI bandwidth on those devices that support such counters. I activated the etherlike mib option in the config and started polling a Nexus 6k, which supports snmp counters on vlan interfaces. I see the snmp counters increasing on the switch, but I see only blank graphs on vlan interfaces, which are properly detected, including their status. The device is properly polled for anything else and it seems that all needed mibs are already included in your distribution. I am running the latest stable release. Any idea? Am I missing anything? Thanks for your help. Regards, Marco Met vriendelijke groet/ Kind regards, Marco Spicuglia Network engineer - Programmer ReasonNet B.V. Gyroscoopweg 134 - 140 1042AZ Amsterdam W. www.reasonnet.com E.

Cisco ASA Reporting -nan on interface graphs.
by Steve Nelson 26 Mar '14

26 Mar '14

Hi I have a Cisco 5525-X being polled from Observium, everything is fine except all the traffic graphs for the interfaces are reporting -nan as a value and showing no data. The environmental graphs such as temp, CPU etc are all OK. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Wrong ports counter / reset counter
by Onno van der Leun 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

Hi, I've some weird behaviour with observium. Since some time the ports counter on the frontpage is displaying wrong values. Eg. It's showing that there are 264 ports down, but when I click the link, there are only 23 ports down. Also when I add up the up, down, ignored and disabled ports, the total number (13326) is less than the number observium shows under 'total' (14991) Does anyone have an idea where to look? Or is there a way to reset the counters? Thanks! Onno.

Ubuntu 13.10 and Apache 2.4 virtualhost permission fix
by Pirmin Sidler - Computerline 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

Hi, Maybe you want to include, in the installation tutorial, the solution tot he virtualhost permission problem under Ubuntu 13.10 : Solution ist to have a virtualhost like this ( "Require all granted" is the key option) : VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot /opt/observium/html/ ServerName test.domain.tld CustomLog /opt/observium/logs/access_log combined ErrorLog /opt/observium/logs/error_log <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> <Directory /opt/observium/html/> Require all granted Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> </VirtualHost> I think it will be help a lot of users as this is the only issue I met with the Ubuntu 13.10 distro.

asynchronous interface alerting
by Bastiaan Topper 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

Hi all, Is there any way of alerting on TX/RX load of an interface (ATM and other xDSL interfaces)? We use mostly Cisco and so we can configure bandwidth and bandwidth receive, so we could define the asynchronous bandwidths. Observium gets the ifSpeed from the bandwidth value, so if we define an alert for TX/RX load, it will almost always report on wrong loads. Interface bandwidth is adopted from the ATM sync speeds, but this is the TX load, the RX load isn't reported on the interface normally. We could define this manually or Observium could maybe get this from the DSL statistics. [cid:image001.png@01CF473C.15E85030] [cid:image002.png@01CF473C.15E85030] So use the TX and RX values from the DSL statistics: [cid:image003.png@01CF473C.80BD6760] Is this already possible or could this otherwise be built? Met vriendelijke groet, Bastiaan Topper
