sysLocation gets rewritten
by Martin 13 Feb '24

13 Feb '24

Hello, I am experiencing something I don't understand. During polling of a host the syslocation -which is returned correctly by snmp- gets changed into another location (which is an old location before moving from "Address B" to "Address A"). $ /usr/bin/snmpget -v3 -l 'authPriv' -n '' -x 'AES' -X 'passwd' -a 'SHA' -A 'passwd' -u 'username' -Pud -Ih -OQUs --hexOutputLength=0 -m SNMPv2-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp 'udp':'HostName':'161' sysUpTime.0 sysLocation.0 sysUpTime.0 = 0:8:31:49.72 sysLocation.0 = "Address A" This is the correct address returned. A few lines lower in my debugging output I see: sysLocation rewritten from 'Address A' to 'Address B' by DB override. Even if I change the address in mysql to the correct address the polling process keeps changing it to the old address. MariaDB [observium]> select hostname, location from devices where device_id=9811; +-------------------------+--------------+ | hostname | location | +-------------------------+--------------+ | HostName | Address B | +-------------------------+--------------+ My questions: - Why is this happening? - How can I prevent this from happening? - Where does the old address come from? I hope someone can shed some light on this strange issue... Thanks, Martin

Hey Seems the template for notification on MS Teams is broken (see below). I'm trying to make my own, but would like to know which of the templates in includes/templates it is based on, so I know where to start.

alert checker for specific ping probes
by Tony Guadagno 07 Feb '24

07 Feb '24

Hi, I have a bunch of ping probes and I would like to write an alert for some (but not all). Since the hostname is the same for all, how can I differentiate between them in an alert checker...for example, I want to alert on this: [cid:image001.jpg@01DA551D.A2E6D3E0] But not this: [cid:image002.jpg@01DA551D.A2E6D3E0] thanks Tony Guadagno O +1 585 577 1003 C +1 585 703 6700 E tonyg(a)guadagnoconsulting.com<mailto:tonyg@guadagnoconsulting.com> [cid:image001.jpg@01D84DD6.FC9912E0]

Remove Switch Access interfaces from polling
by Massimo Cirulli 07 Feb '24

07 Feb '24

Hi All, I'm a newbie user of Observium. I need to clear the polling in order to not have the access port checked on the campus that we monitored. We have about 50k access interfaces splitted on Cisco and HP Aruba stack. I understand that i declare in config.php the bad iface but they have different name: Cisco -> Gi1/0/1 HP Aruba -> 45 My goal is: only the uplink will be checked. How can i use the config for access layer Cisco and Aruba stack (iface range) ? $config['bad_if'][] = " Gi1/0/1 ->?"; $config['bad_if'][] = "1->"; Thanx in advance for your support Massimo

At the time, there is NO fec available via ANY snmp mib. "we currently do NOT have support for Ethernet FEC Statistics via SNMP.

Error in Observium
by Luis Enrique Torres Jacinto 25 Jan '24

25 Jan '24

Hello, good morning I have a problem seeing the information of 3 Cisco CBS350 Switches in observium (professional version), I add them normally like any other device, however it does not show me its Processor, Temperature, fanspeed, Status Indicators, etc. [cid:image006.jpg@01DA4F7C.759355E0] In other Cisco Switch models the tool works correctly. [cid:image007.jpg@01DA4F7C.759355E0] With the following command ./discovery.php -h 10.1.X.X. we found the following error: [cid:image005.png@01DA4F7C.5F5A1890] If anyone can support me I would appreciate it. Greetings

FEC errors / FEC statistics
by Brad Bendy 25 Jan '24

25 Jan '24

Hi, We've got various Juniper devices with links that have FEC enabled and CLI output shows the FEC stats, but I don't see them anywhere in Observium. Is this not supported or am I missing something to where it's at / what is it called? Thanks

cisco ASA's polling slow
by Tony Guadagno 24 Jan '24

24 Jan '24

Hi, I am just noticing that my Cisco ASA's poll really slow. While all my other infrastructure seems to poll about 5 to 7 sec per device, the ASA's all take 50 to 60 sec. Does anyone know why this is and maybe how to speed things up? Thanks Tony Guadagno O +1 585 577 1003 C +1 585 703 6700 E tonyg(a)guadagnoconsulting.com<mailto:tonyg@guadagnoconsulting.com> [cid:image001.jpg@01D84DD6.FC9912E0]
