Dealing with "slow" hosts
by Remco Bressers 31 Mar '14

31 Mar '14

Dear list, A few of our routers in the network are terribly slow in handling the complete ifEntry from IF-MIB to Observium. This results in gaps in graphs and there’s no way to speed things up because of relatively broken/slow implementations in (in this case) Brocade XMR hardware. In the past we monitored ifInOctets/ifOutOctets and a few OID’s more. The full ifEntry is too heavy. Is there a way to deal with this, like a possibility to prevent polling the whole thing and skip certain unneeded OID’s. Are there any plans to enhance the poller for this possibility of is there any (filthy) hack known to do this? Any ideas on this would be great. We would definitely want to throw Cacti to /dev/null but due to this problem it’s not yet possible. Not necessary to say this again but we are very, very happy with Observium. Thanks Adam, Mike, Tom and others.. Regards, Remco Bressers Signet BV

Re: [Observium] delete ports?
by John Poznicek 30 Mar '14

30 Mar '14

Ok not sure what I am doing wrong here - there has to be a way to remove these unwanted nics. So you can see info here http://imgur.com/a/XNhO4 I have this in my config.php // bad interfaces $config['bad_if'][] = "NC-8100w"; I have gone into the database directly and marked the interfaces deleted. But they just get readded, delete gets removed - see the event log in the above screenshots. So I have turned off discovery for the device, and gone into the database and deleted the records of the intefaces. Which works for a bit - but then they show up again. This is a brother HL-3170cdw printer.. I don't know how I would delete the interface on the device directly. How do I remove these wireless interfaces from what observium shows. This printer will never use the wireless interfaces it has. So how do I remove them from observium showing them? You would think if I disable discovery of ports, and then delete them from the database they would never get put back.. But clearly they do - is there some step I am missing? If you need any other info just please ask. TIA

Session Expired
by Johnathon Voegeli 30 Mar '14

30 Mar '14

I have updated to the most recent version via SVN and it constantly logs me out of the web interface... all the graphs will die and it will say session expired after about 10 or 15 seconds of being logged in. Any ideas? ~JV CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message, and any documents, files, or previous e-mail messages attached to it, may contain information that is confidential, proprietary, and/or legally privileged.

adding non snmp hosts?
by John Poznicek 30 Mar '14

30 Mar '14

So I have observium up and running, even smokeping integration which brings up my question. I have a few vpses, seedbox, webhost, etc. that I would like to add to my growing lists of devices in observium. But seems you can not add a device that doesn't have snmp? I don't want to monitor anything than the info than say my smokeping graphs in the same web interface. Be nice to show their location on the man graph as green/yellow/red etc.. My vps I might even add the unix agent grab some info from them.. But I don't really want or need snmp queries across the public net to them So how do you add these types of devices - they added smokeping integration to leverage the details it gives. So how can I just see these smokeping devices in the observium web interface without having to add the device via snmp? There doesn't seem to be a way to add a device without being able to talk to it via snmp?

Hi all, my database is grow very fast. Is there a cyclic clean up which deletes unnessesary entries from the db to prevent garbage? How long are entries kept in the db? Can anybody tell me the syntax to reduce the rate-time for trap and log entrys in the database? many thanks Thomas

Re: [Observium] SVI - Vlan IF graphs
