Re: [Observium] question about wmi

Rando, I followed this KB https://docs.observium.org/device_windows/ and it just worked. The reason I asked the questions is that it is not immediately obvious that it is working or not. The poller.php -m wmi -v proves it is working but also, I realized that if wmi is working, then your Microsoft devices will show a “windows services” tab. Also, I have Observium installed on RHEL 8. There seems to be no wmi package for version 8 (CentOS or RHEL). I installed the wmi RPM for version 7 and it seems to be working…fyi Good luck Tony From: Rando Sui Sent: Friday, December 17, 2021 6:29 AM To: Observium Cc: Tony Guadagno Subject: RE: [Observium] question about wmi Hello, How did you get WMI working and passing info?

Re: [Observium] add support for ASCO Transfer switch

Adam, happy to do that, can you give me the snmpwalk syntax you would like? It seems like transfer switches and generators are the worst mibs…but its all I have to go on. thanks Tony From: Adam Armstrong via observium Sent: Thursday, December 16, 2021 11:03 AM To: 'Observium' Cc: Adam Armstrong Subject: Re: [Observium] add support for ASCO Transfer switch Hi Tony, That’s something of a horrific MIB. It doesn’t use tables properly and has really bad oid numbering, so isn’t the easiest thing to support. You should probably open a jira and provide the mib along with an snmp walk in the format the ticket requests at https://jira.observium.org Adam.

Dear list, I want to monitor my squid instances on snmp port 3401 udp with observium. But when I try to add the device (here squid on port 3401 udp) I don't get an answer. With cacti everything works well, an even with snmpwalk and snmp v1 I get an answer. How can I add squid to observium ? Help is always welcome. Thanks.
