Dear All, I have been struggling getting PHP Weathermap working properly on Observium and would really appreciate your help.. I've noticed that the percentage values on the links is not working and the traffic load is continuously at 0.00%. We are currently using the following software versions.. *Observium* 21.5.11304 (6th May 2021) *OS* Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 [amd64] (Debian 8) *Apache* 2.4.10 (Debian) *PHP* 5.6.38-0+deb8u1 (OPcache: ENABLED) (Memory: 128MB) *Python* 2.7.9 *MySQL* 5.5.60-0+deb8u1 (extension: mysqli 5.5.60) *SNMP* NET-SNMP 5.7.2.1 *RRDtool* 1.4.8 The results from map-poller.php are as follows: WARNING: configs//example.conf: OVERLIBGRAPH is used, but HTMLSTYLE is static. This is probably wrong.

Unable to create Alert Checker
by David Milton 12 Jul '21

12 Jul '21

Hello, I'm having a strange problem creating alert checkers. I first noticed this today and updated to the latest edition: 21.7.11450. I'm working on a test server and was attempting to re-create all of the alert checkers currently on my production systems and then add a few more; I would like to monitor power supply input state as well as air intake temperatures and produce alerts when a power supply is "down" and when intake air temperatures go above something like 45C. This has been prompted by some problems lately where power redundancy was lost and where we had an air conditioner failure. An earlier warning than having the hardware go into thermal shutdown is very much needed. So on my test server I can go through the basic process of creating the alert checker; alert checks -> Create new checker. In this case I click BGP Peer, fill in the name, message, use 1 for the delay and the conditions: bgpPeerAdminStatus notequals stop bgpPeerState notequals established Unfortunately, when I click "Add Checker" nothing happens. I've verified this is not likely the browser or is something pretty universal to all of my browsers because I can duplicate this in current versions Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Chrome. Both Opera and Chrome are fresh installations done today but I did try disabling all extensions in Firefox and Safari to see if those were a problem. I searched through the documentation but couldn't find anything about browser compatibility or known conflicts. This used to work but it's been quite some time since I've wanted to add new checks. Is there something else I'm missing? Thanks, Dave.

Thermal Alarm Bug
by Joey Stanford 12 Jul '21

12 Jul '21

Hi Adam (et al), When Obs pulls in a sensor_value of NULL it gets interpreted as a zero and thus triggers alerts. Can we prevent that somehow?

APCu Caching not working?
by Milton Ngan 08 Jul '21

08 Jul '21

I have noticed that when I enable webUI caching, that the page loads don’t speed up. It regularly takes 3 seconds to render a page, although the tool tip at the bottom shows APCu caching is enabled. However, if I force the cache driver to “files”, then I see a huge speed up (page loads drop to about 100-200ms). Is there some extra config to get APCu working correctly? I didn’t see anything in the docs, but I could have missed it.

Distributed polling
by Milton Ngan 06 Jul '21

06 Jul '21

I was looking at the distributed polling feature as we have a geographically distributed network and polling slow devices from half way across the globe takes a long time. It turns out that putting a poller closer to the device doesn’t actually help. The SNMP polling times go down a bit, but the SQL times go up a lot because there are hundreds of SQL queries that get run for every polled device. This can easily add another 1-2 minutes to your polls depending on how many metrics are being polled. So, it seems to me that the distributed feature only works if the poller is still reasonably close to the database, otherwise the latency per query eats up any gains you might have from reducing the SNMP latency. Are there plans to try to reduce the number of queries a poller makes to make geographically distributed polling less latency sensitive? Cheers Milton

Alert on Entity Group
by Philipp Rehs 05 Jul '21

05 Jul '21

Hello, we want to create alert checkers for entities (mostly storage entities) which are only assigned to some entities in special groups. Building the groups is possible but it is not possible to add a association rule based on entitiy group membership. it is just possible to do it on device group membership or entity attributes. There is no entitiy / storage group option. Any idea how to solve this?

RANCID integration with Huawei CloudEngine
by Hernan Moguilevsky 02 Jul '21

Hi, This is not an Observium question really. But perhaps someone had the same issue. Did anyone managed to integrate RANCID with Huawei CloudEngine? I have no problem with Huawei S line. If someone solved it, please share. Thanks.
