There are no undocumented metrics. You have to request them. :) You can't check a service inside a vserver, as the entities don't work that way. You can, however, check the status of a service independently. Adam. Martin Smith wrote:

Alert Checker for Netscaler
by Martin Smith 01 Jul '14

01 Jul '14

Hello everyone, How can I find available values to be used with the alerting system for metrics that are not documented in the wiki? http://www.observium.org/wiki/Alerting_Metrics_and_Attributes For example, a service inside a vserver's status changes to "down". Or when the bandwidth per vserver exceeds a specified value? Basically, I'm lost on how to find new metrics and attributes... :[ Thanks in advance for your time, Martin Smith | Network Analyst | Netgain 720 West Saint Germain Street | St. Cloud | MN | 56301 Phone: 320-257-6607 | 877.797.4700 x170

syslog -> cleaning the database...
by Xavier Beaudouin 30 Jun '14

30 Jun '14

Hi There, Looking after a reason why I got soooooo long time to see some firewall I saw that despite the // Syslog stuff $config['enable_syslog'] = 1; $config['syslog_age'] = "1 month"; On configuration, the old syslog informations are not deleted. I created a small php script to clean that (using crontab), do you like to have this contrib ? (It is somewhat easy, but if you don't have time to make that, then, I will be pleased to create a jira with this file). /Xavier

Odd issue with Syslog collection
by Anthony Mattke 27 Jun '14

27 Jun '14

On a recent install of observium, I’ve noticed some oddities with Syslog collection… Some devices are being collected just fine, but others are not. In the example screenshot included below, my firewall ***10, and one switch ***04 are both being collected just fine. But the switches 75***** and *****50 are not. http://i.imgur.com/nxupFzJ.png One thing I noticed was that someone had turned on “service sequence-numbers” on the ****04 switch. (The ASA has no such feature that I know of.. ) When I disabled this service, the collection stopped working on that device! Example here…http://i.imgur.com/HViWcTk.png Thoughts? Thanks!! -Tony

ios-xr etc syslog
by Rob VanHooren 26 Jun '14

26 Jun '14

to make it go away, could try getting rid of the "service log sequence numbers" (or whatever exact syntax it is) in the device's ios config if you don't need the sequence numbering for audit, that's easier than trying to hack in a new syslog-ng.conf template. luck, R.

Syslog parsing: Issue from IOS XR devices
by Senses0 26 Jun '14

26 Jun '14

Hi, I have few devices running Cisco IOS XR. I am sending syslog messages from all devices to Observium. Everything is fine except for the log messages sent by routers running IOS XR. Instead of log Program name, messages sent by XR devices contain an incrementing sequence number, which is being parsed as log Program (Incrementing sequence number being parsed as syslog program = bad. real bad). The actual program name appears much later within the message. I have gone through the sylog configuration guide for XR routers. Couldnt find anything that would alter the message format of what is being sent. I also configured "logging facility syslog" in XR devices, but that didnt resolve the issue. To better explain my situation, I have attached a screenshot. Hopefully it would help. Oh and I am subscriber :) Thanks, Senn
