Monitoring Ping-only devices
by Lars Joergensen 10 Aug '21

10 Aug '21

Hi We're loving Observium and are trying to expand it into our manufacturing network. Problem is, many of the devices located there only support ping. Is there any way to add them to Observium?

Looks like every other things working, just the Alert check page is empty. Br Laszlo

VMware Hypervisor Check/Alert
by Scott Driemeier-Showers 05 Aug '21

Is anyone successfully monitoring their VMware Hypervisors to generate an alert when a host enters/exits maintenance mode? Would you be willing to share tips/tricks? I don't see any conditions in the logs when this happens that would provide a trigger... Thanks, Scott

JunOS Fusion and satellite
by Johann Mallet 31 Jul '21

31 Jul '21

Hello, We migrate one part of our equipments to JunOS Fusion Provider Edge. That permits us to have one Juniper MX chassis with a satellite (like Juniper EX or QFX) which is seen as like a linecard of Juniper MX chassis. But I have the impression that Observium can't detect sensors, COS or hardware for ports on this satellite. On CLI, we need to add the keyword "satellite" in commands to see optical level, hardware list. Maybe for satellite mode, the SNMP MIB was different (FPC number for satellite starts at 100). But, I have only found documentation for the "hardware" part. https://www.juniper.net/documentation/us/en/software/junos/fusion-enterpris… I can share access to our lab equipment with JunOS Fusion if needed. Best Regards, Johann

Workaround for vlan Permission
by Tibi, Saleh 29 Jul '21

29 Jul '21

Hi guys, i am wondering if there is a way to give Permission to a specific user to see all vlan I mean the following path: https://domainnam.com/vlan/, without giving a global Read I tried throw Group Permissions but the issue is, that I cant collect all vlan in a group, because vlan is not an Eintitiy in Obserivum. Is there any workaround ?

User permissions (same thing with alerts)
by Brad Bendy 27 Jul '21

27 Jul '21

Am I missing something when adding users? Do you have to add each device to a user? Is there anyway to just allow all devices? The issue we are having is each time we add devices we have to login and modify the users everytime we add devices, which you can imagine is a nightmare. Thanks

host_id in pollers table
by Brad Bendy 27 Jul '21

27 Jul '21

Hi, We have a image we have been deploying at remote sites for the poller. This was a clone and added a new site and running into issues. Looking at the poller table I see the hostid in not different across some of the hosts, assuming his because we cloned the image. What is this hostid referenced from? We made new SSH keys on each host but there must be something else this from and not really sure how to change it. Thanks

Acknowledgments to alerts
by Lars Joergensen 26 Jul '21

26 Jul '21

Hi all We're really pleased with Observium, and are actually looking to using it as the main network monitoring tool. What we miss is a way to add a comment when you acknowledge an alert. Something along the lines of "stuff is acting up again. John is looking at it. Trouble ticket XX1234." Is this something that is being considered?
