Multiple Contacts for Alerts
by Rudolf Hoehler 23 Jul '15

23 Jul '15

Hello Community, I have some questions regarding email alerts with Observium: 1. I would like to know whether it is possible to get Observium to alert different email addresses for certain triggers? Possible via the config file? 2. Will Observium try and email the "contact" email address in the SNMP field "contact"? Thanks, Rudolf

Question about traffic graphs
by Talk Jesus 22 Jul '15

22 Jul '15

Hi, My data center bills me based on 95th percentile and Mbps, but Observium shows traffic as bits/second. My monthly allowance is 100Mbps, how would I convert that to the bits/second in 95th? They also state they bill me on bandwidth utilization, not data used. Finally, they state they use 5 minute intervals for data collection, I guess that's also called 'polling' if I'm not mistaken? I could not find any info on how often the data is collected. Just to clarify, if I got the calculation right - 100Mbps = 30TB /mo (rounded off).

RRD graphs legend
by Attila Nagy 22 Jul '15

22 Jul '15

Hi All! I was thinking whether there is some way to make the graphs more user friendly. I am talking about aggregated RRDTool graphs that have more data lines in it. One example (as seen in the attached screenshot) is the typical filesystem usage graph of a linux host, that has a legend below it, but as the colors are not quite unique (at more than 5-6 data lines some colors will overlap inevitably) you can't really find out which line is which. If you want to find out which data line has that glitch that you saw in the aggregated graph, there is no other way than looking at each data separately. Is there a way/plan to overcome this limitation? Regards, Tylla
