unix-agent stop being polled in r12899
by Niklas Larsson 27 Jul '23

27 Jul '23

Hi, r12899 makes unix-agent not being polled. Doing svn update -r 12898 makes things good again. My servers are mostly Debian. Made it work again (partly) with ($os = 'linux'): observium:/opt/observium# svn di includes/definitions/os.inc.php Index: includes/definitions/os.inc.php =================================================================== --- includes/definitions/os.inc.php (revision 12899) +++ includes/definitions/os.inc.php (working copy) @@ -350,6 +350,7 @@ $config['os'][$os]['mibs'][] = "SWRAID-MIB"; //$config['os'][$os]['mibs'][] = "NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB"; // moved to discovery $config['os'][$os]['realtime'] = 15; +$config['os'][$os]['modules']['unix-agent'] = 1; $os = "dss"; $config['os'][$os]['text'] = "Open-E DSS"; Secondly - applications and packages are disabled on the device - can not activate application only packages. Added +$config['os'][$os]['modules']['applications'] = 1; to linux and now applications are working again (Observium Professional 23.7.12902).

Netbotz Temperature Units
by Brian Weeks 24 Jul '23

24 Jul '23

I just installed a new APC Netbotz 250 and I have configured its web interface to be in Fahrenheit but when I imported it into Observium the units are celsius. The weird thing is if I hover over the temperature it shows correctly in fahrenheit. Can you point me in the right direction on how to change the displayed units? -- Brian Weeks Network Engineer Brenham ISD CCNA, MCSE, ACMT, A+, Network+, Security+ 1301 Niebuhr St. Brenham, TX 7783 Office: (979) 277-3760 ext. 2249 Email: bweeks(a)brenhamk-12.net Website: http://www.brenhamisd.net --

observium misidentifying Microsoft Server 2022 Standard for Datacenter
by Tony Guadagno 24 Jul '23

24 Jul '23

Update, I looked closer and Observium is doing this for other versions of Microsoft Server, not just 2022. For example, I have a bunch of 2012r2 servers that I have checked and are Standard. They are getting marked as Datacenter. Hi, I just noticed that some of my 2022 servers are listed as Datacenter Edition. When I go to those servers and look at "about pc" they list as Standard Edition(as they should be). Can you please review your OS ident for Microsoft server 2022 Thanks Tony

Question about VRFs/BGP
by Richard Kuhns 18 Jul '23

18 Jul '23

Hello, Our network engineers have a question about how Observium handles BGP sessions in multiple VRFs: > On IOSXR devices where we use mutliple VRFs, we are unable to monitor > BGP sessions outside of the global routing table. In the global > routing table only the bgp sessions to the route reflectors are > visible. We would like to also be able to monitor bgp sessions in a > different vrf. Going through the documentation we have added the > commands for IOSXR to map a context to the vrf feature - but this does > not appear to be working for bgp. We can create snmp contexts and map > them to a different community to monitor those vrfs that we would like > to include. BUT it appears that in order to utilize them we would have > to add the host twice in observium. I tried doing this with a dns > alias but it doesn't like that because it finds a conflicting snmp > hostname. As a workaround we are monitoring that context in librenms > and it's working. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. -- Richard Kuhns<rjk(a)wintek.com> Systems Administrator Wintek Powered by Tipmont Main: 765-742-8428 Direct: 765-269-8541

Traffic collection on the vlan interface
by Kleber Cristiano Santilli Coelho 10 Jul '23

10 Jul '23

Good morning! I hope everyone is okay! I have a question about collecting traffic on vlan interfaces. My HPE/3Com devices (7510, 5510, 5520, 4800) show graphs of vlan interfaces but the graph is always empty with no data. On physical interfaces collected normally. Is there any configuration that I need/can do to get the values of the vlan interfaces? Thanks. --

New Observium Server
by Peter Derissen 06 Jul '23

06 Jul '23

Hi, Currently we are setting up a new vm platform. I want to build a new Observium server (we have a pro license). Is it a problem that I run 2 instances for like 2 or 3 months until the new server is running like it should before I shut down the "old" one?
