make selinux enforcing again
by David Pinkerton 01 Oct '18

01 Oct '18

As Red Hat consultant it makes me sad to see the first instruction to install software is to disable SELinux. It really isn't that hard to learn. My observium installation (on RHEL 7) Assuming Observium is installed in /opt/observium # ensure semange is installed yum install policycoreutils-python # set policy to allow apache to write to observium directories # this could be restricted to read-only on all except rrd & logs. semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t "/opt/observium(/.*)?" # apply policy restorecon -R -v /opt/observium <http://apac.redhat.com/>

Open Street Map Leaflet
by Pieter De Wit 01 Oct '18

01 Oct '18

Hey Guys, This is a cosmic "issue" but an annoying one for us, I do understand that it won't effect a lot of people. We have systems in Fiji that we monitor and one of them happen to be at location: -16.84368611 -179.96583333 Most of the other systems are located "to the left" which happens to be across the 180 degree mark - or the line where -179.99999 and 179.99999 are next to each other. The problem is the map doesn't like to display this, since it displays either one, depending on where you are zoomed into. The "overview map" also shows the entire world, since the data is spread from 179 -> -179 Is there an easy way to fix this ? Thanks !

Install script for agent to run without /opt/observium
by Pieter De Wit 30 Sep '18

30 Sep '18

Hey Guys, Would it be possible to add the option do an agent only install to the install script? One that doesn't need /opt/observium and installs all the nice /usr/bin/distro etc utils :) The current script bails on : cp: cannot stat '/opt/observium/scripts/observium_agent_xinetd': No such file or directory Thanks !

How I did it (?)
by Luca Sasdelli 29 Sep '18

29 Sep '18

Hi all, I've got some multi-WAN firewall checks from outside, and although Observium refuses an already existing SNMP SysName by adding a secondary WAN link, I've got one that has three WANs on the same firewall, without claiming anything. Does it exist a way to add an already existing SysName device, with a different name (and IP)? Thanks! Luca

Alerting on customer OID
by John Morris 28 Sep '18

28 Sep '18

Hello all Im after some help, I have created custom oid, and these are working and displaying info. I am trying to get the alerts to check the status of the oid. Ive added a custom oid checker Under association, I am selecting device, and the ip of the device. It then shows all the custom oid for the device. I have then tried by adding AND Custom OID numberical oid equals (The oid) [cid:image001.png@01D45723.A78685B0] But then it doesn’t list the custom oid, and shows no associations. Basically it is checking an SBC and if the status is 2, then its active, and if it shows 3 it is in standby. I want to create an alert that if the value changes from 2 to 3 it sends an alert. What am I doing wrong? Many Thanks John Morris Cloud Specialist
