Hi, Actually, billing is based on traffic volume or by 95 percentile. I have several clients were billing is based on 90 percentile. As a feature request, I would like to have a custom percentile with 95 per default. Anyway, thank’s for this great product. Regards, Alexandre

non SNMP monitoring
by Wolfgang Riedel 14 Jan '17

14 Jan '17

Hi Folks, Just bought the professional edition and have spend the last days to get everything in place and working. Beside some issues with power monitoring for JANITZA power meter and APC UPS everything now looks good and I really enjoy the product. My problem is that I am not living on an island and more in a world of connected clouds where I don’t always have admin access to the device I need to monitor and in most cases there is no SNMP interface but REST or other API’s instead. In the past I used Cacti with mURLin and some basic ICMP, TCP and UDP probes (paping) which produced some MRTG graphs. I just wonder if I missed something with Observium on how to monitor non SNMP enabled devices or if there is something similar available like described here: http://olivermarshall.net/enable-ping-tests-in-librenms/ where they used nagios-plugins for LibreNMS? Thank you, Wolfgang ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Wolfgang Riedel | Principal Engineer | CCIE#13804 | VCP #42559

Mikrotik polling
by Kacper Czerwonka 11 Jan '17

11 Jan '17

Hi. I'm getting some SNMP errors when polling my Mikrotik RB800 device. This is from GUI: MIKROTIK-MIB *mtxrWlApClientCount Failed response 3331* >From CLI: ./poller.php -h um-rbswr.ap | grep mtxr o MIKROTIK-MIB mtxrDHCP and the: ##### Module Start: wifi ##### o MIBs MIKROTIK-MIB o Module time 0.0122s So I'm thinking, that it even doesn't try to ask about it, but when I'm typing by hand from Obserevium server: snmpwalk -c public -v 2c um-rbswr.ap .1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.1.3.1.6 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.14988.1.1.1.3.1.6.6 = Counter32: 0 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.14988.1.1.1.3.1.6.7 = Counter32: 0 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.14988.1.1.1.3.1.6.8 = Counter32: 0 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.14988.1.1.1.3.1.6.9 = Counter32: 0 Any ideas were to dig to solve it?

Feature Request?
by Lyndon Labuschagne 10 Jan '17

10 Jan '17

Hello We use Observium in conjunction with Rancid, we backup not only our Routers and Switches but also our UBNT Radios. The feature request is as follows, If we set a CPE radio to "Ignore device for alerting and notifications” the backup attempts will also stop For most of our radios we don’t ever ignore them, however in the consumer space there are clients who will switch off equipment every day when they are not home, or will unplug they are going away for a weekend or longer, We still poll these consumer radios so that we can graph traffic and packetloss etc, but are not really worried if the client switches them off, we don't proactively monitor consumer / home user radios. however when a number of clients do switch their kit off it fills up the screen that is used by NOC. Is there a way to still allow rancid from backup up a device that has been set to ignore?

Nested location menu glitch
by Attila Nagy 10 Jan '17

10 Jan '17

Hi everyone! We recently updated to the latest CE version and happily saw the new improvements, the new map really rocks, and the small things are awesome too. What I would like to point out is one small glitch in the new (at least for us) nested location menu. We use $config['location_map'] to mass override the location strings of most devices (lots of devices don't cope with accented/special characters, so we limit the on device sysLocation and add human readable address later on), and we include exact coordinates in square brackets at the end of the new location string. And here comes the glitch, the split char for the nested menu is by default comma, so the new location string gets one extra split in the middle of the coordinates like: Locations > Some place > some other place [43.53 > 15.25] A solution that I found is to completely drop any coordinates from the end of the location string. For this I changed /opt/observium/html/includes/navbar.inc.php and added to the line 165: $location = preg_replace('/\[[[:digit:]NWSE,. -]+\]$/','',$location); As seen in context: foreach (get_locations() as $location) { + $location = preg_replace('/\[[[:digit:]NWSE,. -]+\]$/','',$location); // If location is empty, substitute by OBS_VAR_UNSET as empty location parameter would be ignored $name = ($location === '' ? OBS_VAR_UNSET : escape_html($location)); Another solution that came into my mind - and one that is more general - is to include an option, something like $config['location']['menu']['nested_end_string'] = ' - '; where the location string would be truncated at the first occurrence of this subtring. This way one can enter extra information in the location string be it from the sysLocation of a device or from $config['location_map'] and have it displayed in the Location entry of a device but ignore it during the composition of the Location menu. /opt/observium/html/includes/navbar.inc.php line 165: (together with the previous changes) foreach (get_locations() as $location) { + $location = preg_replace('/\[[[:digit:]NWSE,. -]+\]$/','',$location); + if (strlen($config['location']['menu']['nested_end_string']) > 0) + $location = preg_replace('/'.$config['location']['menu']['nested_end_string'].'.*$/', '', $location); // If location is empty, substitute by OBS_VAR_UNSET as empty location parameter would be ignored $name = ($location === '' ? OBS_VAR_UNSET : escape_html($location)); I hope you'll find these changes usable (and you didn't already addressed these - in this case sorry for robbing your time). Regards, Tylla
