You'd need to create a new is type for canon printers. Then you can permit that is to find things using the jet direct MIBs. Adam.

Hardware scaling
by Adam Armstrong 29 May '13

29 May '13

Hi All, I put together a very basic set of scaling guidelines : http://www.observium.org/wiki/Hardware_Scaling My sample size is quite limited, do any of you have useful numbers from large (>10k ports) installations? How much RAM does your /ports/ page take? (mouse over the perf on the bottom bar). How much average CPU load does your system have, and what CPU is it? (assuming the host is Observium-only) What storage back-end do you use, and how well is it scaling? Thanks, adam.

map not showing
by Khapare Joshi 29 May '13

newbie here, I have 0.13.5.4047 version and world map is not showing in front page. Also, i could not configure alert, when i click on alert it does not gives me any option to configure. maybe this is simple somewhere config ? but earlier I installed 0.13.5.3992 and world map is displayed.

There is no alerting. The tab is a ui placeholder. You need to explicitly enable the map by adding the freontpage order array. Its documented on the site. Adam.

Little more help with SNMP/MIB for Canon.
by Matthew Coene 29 May '13

29 May '13

Good Afternoon All, Tom, Looks like you were right... Tried snmpwalking our Canon devices with the HP-LASERJET-COMMON MIB... Looking at the rest of the code, specifically the "jetdirect" bits that you mentioned... <?php if (!$os) { if (strstr($sysDescr, "JETDIRECT")) { $os = "jetdirect"; } else if (strstr($sysDescr, "HP ETHERNET MULTI-ENVIRONMENT")) { $os = "jetdirect"; } else if (strstr($sysObjectId, ".1.3.6.1.4.1.11.1")) { $os = "jetdirect"; } } I can say that the OID string that seems to be the most common to the ID is... (actually there are a few) iso.3.6.1.2.1.43.9.2.1.8.1.1 = STRING: "Canon" I am hoping there might be some way to just adapt the existing framework, to use the the new OID / MIB to report the Canon's specifically instead of generic? Am I even remotely on some sort of right track or way off on some far removed dead end tangent?? Cheers, Matt.

Im positive I added them. What I ended up having to do was check the box to have them ignored, run the poller manually, uncheck that box then run the poller manually again. Now they're working just fine.

Graphics issue
by David Torres 29 May '13

29 May '13

Hi all, I've been using observium a while ago and since the beginning the tool showed me the graphics like I show you in the attached picture. There are several "white spaces" marked on the time period (X axis), where the tools is not showing information. I read the FAQs section and I found this advice: "I'm getting a blank browser window on some pages, but not others", so I incremented the PHP memory parameter from 128M to 384M whithin the php.ini file but this did not work either so I come to you beggin your advice in order to resolve this problem. Besides I have 90 network equipments monitored with the observium application on a virtual server (6 GB of ram and 3 CPUs 3.0 Ghz). thank you so much for any help Regards

Manually fix bogus RRD data?
by Alex Pressé 28 May '13

28 May '13

I have a router which was running glorious cisco code with a marvelous bug where the number of active ipsec tunnels kept increasing until I put a better IOS on it. So now I have a graph where the ipsec tunnels shoots to tens of thousands of ipsec tunnels, making the long term views pointless. Is there some easy way I can loop through a date range or similar and set the number of ipsec tunnels to some other number (like 10 instead of 22,000)? -- Alex Presse "How much net work could a network work if a network could net work?"
