by Christopher Murrell 24 Jan '14

24 Jan '14

Hello, We are very very interested in Observium to use as our Monitoring system, but we would like to have some custom fields on the device information. We would be willing to donate a nice amount to you guys as well if we can have this done as a custom feature for us. If you guys could do this please send me an email. Also do you have an ETA when the full alert system will be working? *Christopher* Murrell Hypernia Corporation *Email:* christopher(a)staff.hypernia.com *Desk: *(+44) (0) 1722 568687 <04401722658687> *Cell Phone:* (+44) (0) 7761636028 <0447761636028> [image: http://hypernia.com/images/signature/skype.png]chrisjmuk [image: http://hypernia.com/images/signature/home.jpg]www.hypernia.com [image: http://hypernia.com/images/signature/hypernia-superpod.jpg] *Confidentiality Note:* The information contained in this transmission is legally privileged and confidential, intended only for the use of the individual or entity named above.

Remove Geofoo from Observium using Strings
by henrik hansen 22 Jan '14

22 Jan '14

Hello guys, at the moment we are not a subscribed customer, so maybe this mail is obsolet. We would love to have a feature to remove GeoLocation thing unter Devices-> Locations. In our environment the snmp location is filled with some kind of customer ID. Like: U100432. It would be great if observium could only group our switches by the customer id in the snmp location field. Thanks for your great work. Henrik

FOSDEM meetup?
by Tom Laermans 21 Jan '14

21 Jan '14

Hi guys, FOSDEM, Europe's largest (I think?) open source meetup is coming up in a few weeks (1-2 feb). I'll be there on saturday, so in case there's anyone also going there who wants to meet up/catch up/buy me a sandwich ;> /have a chat/... by all means let's do that then. I'm not Adam, so please leave the tar and feathers at home - We'll make sure to get him here next year, with a big "FUCK GPL" t-shirt, and put him on stage vs RMS though. ;-) Tom

Traffic Bills Oddity
by Matt Martin 21 Jan '14

21 Jan '14

We're using the traffic bills module and are a "paid" customer. However, sometime in October, customers that we bill for usage over a wireless link (using UBNT kit), only show 0.00. Traffic can still be seen on the port on the traffic bills screen, but collection of the data seems stuck. There are multiple customers per UBNT node and they are all seeing the same issue. Traffic bills on switches and routers appear fine however. Any idea where to start on trying to fix, or diagnose this. Matt

Port Properties Alert Question and Odd Behavior
by Chip Pleasants 21 Jan '14

21 Jan '14

Is there a way to see all Ports that have been disabled for altering? I enabled email alerts in config.php for port percentage, but seeing some odd behavior with the percentage portion with the physical interfaces inside a etherchannel interface. Below are a couple emails I received. The bandwidth mentioned in the email is more than the physical interface. Is there another option I need to turn on or off to account for this behavior? Any suggestions are appreciated. This physical interface didn't go over 444M. The port channel have 8 physical link in it. Port saturation threshold alarm: cisco.switch.com on GigabitEthernet3/1 Rates:1.63Gbps/11.6kbps(163/0) >85% of 1Gbps Another email This physical interface hit a 1G. The port channel has 2 physical links in it. Port saturation threshold alarm: cisco.switch.com on GigabitEthernet2/25 Rates:147Mbps/6.62Gbps(15/662) >85% of 1Gbps added to config.php $config['alerts']['port_util_alert'] = TRUE; $config['alerts']['port_util_perc'] = 85; Thanks, Chip

by Xavier Beaudouin 20 Jan '14

20 Jan '14

Hi there, Using alert on Observium Community (will try to ask for a fund for my work to help the project), I realize there is some strange thing in the mails sent by observium.. Seems there is a \n\n on the headers that brake the mail format. Looking at the code, I didn't saw where it was, and I wish to share if some people here has same issues. Header extract (old alerting stuff) : ---//--- Subject: Temperature Alarm: amazon CPU Temperature X-Priority: 3 Message-Id: <20140120070238.662C8180184CC(a)observium.censored> Date: Mon, 20 Jan 2014 08:02:38 +0100 (CET) To: undisclosed-recipients: ; X-Zimbra-DL: sadm@censored Reply-To: "sadm@censored" <sadm@censored> Message-ID: <213ce88117d32aaeeb4296589d88c8f4@observium> Date: Mon, 20 Jan 2014 08:02:38 +0100 Observium :: Network Observation and Monitoring Temperature Alarm: amazon CPU Temperature is over threshold: 61C (> 60C) ---//--- Header extract (new alerting system) : ---//--- From: "Observium " <sysadmin@censored> Subject: RECOVER: [esx4] [storage] [] Disk space is more than 80 percent used.

I have tryed to find if sendmail based / smtp (even local smtp) was an issue, didn't find why. The issue is the same on other observium (home) without zimbra as mta/mua.
