Alerts
by Josh Hopper 19 Mar '14

Is there a guide on how to best setup alerts for all devices? I found: http://www.observium.org/wiki/Alerting_Metrics_and_Attributes http://www.observium.org/wiki/Creating_an_Alert_Checker I want to set thresholds for DISK, RAM, CPU, UP/DOWN, and RX/TX Limits for all devices. Is there a particular Device Association or Entity Association I'm supposed to use? I figured I would set some general and then get specific with alerts by hostname for specific instances I want to monitor. -- Sincerely, Joshua Hopper, A+ CE Network Administrator [cid:image001.jpg@01CF4208.DDB37150] 420 3rd Ave NW Hickory NC 28601 Office: 828-449-1839x2160 | Cell: 828-855-7565 Protect Plus Air Holdings, LLC and Affiliates, Protect Plus, LLC and Affiliates, Imagine One Resources, LLC and Affiliates, Protect Plus Surfaces, LLC and Affiliates Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail is intended only for the addressee named above.

svn update not fully working (v0.14.2.5106)
by Marco Zberg 19 Mar '14

Hi guys Currently I wonder why I can't update to the latest version from SVN? We have 2 observium instances, if I do a "svn update" one installation does not update to the latest version. It will always update the revision (5106) but not to the latest v0.14.3.5106, instead it will have v0.14.2.5106. *** [root@vsrvobs01 observium]# svn update At revision 5106. [root@vsrvobs01 observium]# /opt/observium/discovery.php -h none Observium v0.14.2.5106 Discovery Current Revision : 5106 MySQL: Cell[2/0s] Row[16/0s] Rows[3/0s] Column[0/0s] Update[0/0s] Insert[0/0s] Delete[0/0s] *** Thanks for any help or tipps.

Alert Emails
by Nicholas Schmidt 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

Ive followed the documentation but cannot get email alerting working. I see nothing in my mail log from Observium and other mailings on the system work without issue (RANCID, using the mail command from shell) so I believe it related to something I am doing wrong in Observium or PHP. It also looks as though whats in config.php.default doesn't match whats documented in the wiki. Ill gladly update it once I figure out which is correct. I am running Observium build 0.14.3.5112 on Debian 5.5.35-0 My config.php based on config.php.defaults , which differs slightly from http://www.observium.org/wiki/Configuration_Options#Alert_Settings $config['poller-wrapper']['alerter'] = TRUE; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['descr'] = "Network Alert"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['type'] = "email"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['contact'] = "noc(a)mediamath.com"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['enable'] = TRUE; -Nick

Possible to ignore interfaces without description with the bad_if_ filter?
by Fredrik Korsbäck 18 Mar '14

18 Mar '14

Hello list. As the topic suggests. My enviroment somewhat relies on ports in the network having a interface description, graphing, billing, provisioning, rancid, and a few other stuffs gets activated whenever a description get set. I would like Observium to behave in such manner aswell - ive put up a feature request on this in Jira but now that ive read up abit more i realise that this could possible be achieved through the built-in filters. Has anyone built a smart regexp or something with the already available filters? We run a juniper-setup with alot of pretty beefy routers so there is about 600 interfaces on each machine, where i would like to graph at tops 100 of them, the 100 with a description :) And thanks for a great monitoring tool! Br, -- Fredrik Korsbäck

Re: [Observium] Adding Bind9 stats into Observium for trending/graphing?

Tom and everyone, Thanks for the information. I got the powers that be to open up the observium port and I’ve been getting some great data ever since. I appreciate the assistance.

Once you've got the agent working, you may need to enable it under the Poller Modules for the specific host.

GeoLocation
by Johnathon Voegeli 17 Mar '14

Quick question... We are a small WISP and I am trying to add all the WAPs to the map... if I do something like this: $config['location_map']['VIE Office'] = "35.476475, -80.992856"; It looks perfect on the map, however under the location menu of course it shows these coordinates as well... Is there anyway to get the SysLocation to show in the location field, but the map display correctly? Or is this a pipe dream. ~JV

Getting billing data out of Observium via SQL
by Scott Brawner 14 Mar '14

14 Mar '14

I'm looking to get the billing data out of observium for monthly executive reviews. For some reason the CIO wants it in Excel (boo.) What I'm interested in mostly are the Avg in, Avg out, 95th in and 95th out for each billed circuit on a monthly basis. If anyone has done this, please let me know how or if you have queries, I'd love to see them. Thanks! Best regards, Scott Brawner
