Re: [Observium] Port red file generation issue

Hi Adam, Thanks for your reply. All the rrd files inside the device directory have user as root and group as root. Even the other devices where the graphs are showing up have user as root and group as root. Following is the screenshot of the rrdtool dump of a port file. <ds> 23 <name> OUTOCTETS </name> 24 <type> DERIVE </type> 25 <minimal_heartbeat>600</minimal_heartbeat> 26 <min>0.0000000000e+00</min> 27 <max>1.2500000000e+10</max> 28 29  30 <last_ds>472721674480</last_ds> 31 <value>NaN</value> 32 <unknown_sec> 214 </unknown_sec> 33 </ds> 34 35 <ds> 36 <name> INERRORS </name> 37 <type> DERIVE </type> 38 <minimal_heartbeat>600</minimal_heartbeat> 39 <min>0.0000000000e+00</min> 40 <max>1.2500000000e+10</max> 41 42  43 <last_ds>0</last_ds> 44 <value>NaN</value> 45 <unknown_sec> 214 </unknown_sec> 46 </ds> All values seem to be NaN. Does observium write any error logs where such errors could be seen?

Wikimedia Map Tiles not loading - Error 429
by Gumilar Siegfried MSc. 21 Feb '20

21 Feb '20

Hello! Among other things, we display the map in the dashboard. As it seems, the Wikimedia Tiles are shown by default, because we did not set anything else in the config.php file. Since a few weeks we have the problem that some tiles are not displayed anymore. In the Chrome Console you can see that the PNGs are not loaded due to an error code 429 (too many requests). It seems that Wikimedia has introduced a limit for some time now. Since many users have the dashboard permanently open, the same PNGs are very often loaded from our public IP. Is there a workaround for this problem? It is actually not necessary that the browser constantly reloads the PNGs, because nothing changes in the display. Unfortunately I did not find a list of possible alternative tile providers anywhere in the documentation. I only know the carto base dark and light. Unfortunately I don't find them optically ideal. What other implemented variants are there? Regards, Siegfried

Change severity on alarms
by Daniel Johansson 21 Feb '20

21 Feb '20

Hi I was wondering if there are any ways of creating other seventies than Critical when creating alarm checkers? For example I would like to have severity Informational and maybe some others. Also I would like to have the posibility to only send Critical events to all recievers of the alarms and Informational to the responsible group for specific alarms. Is this possible? If so how do I do it? If it's not possible now, can it be implemented? ---- Regards Daniel

When I create a custom OID, I can turn on "Autodiscovery". What does this do? (It doesn't appear to be documented.)

OBS-2925 - Ping Only Hosts / OBS_SNMP_SKIP flag / snmp_skip attribute
by Colin Stubbs 17 Feb '20

17 Feb '20

For the benefit of anyone on the list who doesn't use JIRA... and also so that others who support (want/need) this feature can comment. https://jira.observium.org/browse/OBS-2925 Attached patch defines OBS_SNMP_SKIP flag and uses snmp_skip device attribute, similar to OBS_PING_SKIP and ping_skip, in order to have hosts that are ping only. Ping only hosts can still have the Observium Unix Agent installed (tested), and other poller modules such as IPMI enabled (untested). Tested: 1. Add/remove/rename ping only hosts via CLI 2. Add/remove ping only hosts via webUI 3. View/interact ping only hosts via webUI - SNMP specific features/menus etc are hidden while skip SNMP is enabled 4. Alerting - device_status equals 0 && device_status_type equals ping - will trigger alerts for host down/recovery events 5. Shifting a previously SNMP contactable host to ping only by ticking skip SNMP box - old SNMP graphs/etc are maintained and remain available - remove skip SNMP box and SNMP polling begins again Things I know kind of don't work right now: 1. Location override - poller/discovery doesn't seem to perform geocoding and whatever else is happening there Things that could be improved: 1. Unix Agent poller module etc is enabled by default for all hosts, for ping only hosts, perhaps it should be disabled by default? Will improve performance by reducing the number of processes that hang while the 10s default connect timeout happens. Totally untested: 1. Use of autodiscovery SNMP skip - should work in theory, unsure if those parts of the patch should actually be used though. Some people out there may actually want to add anything that does respond to ping and can be found thru adjacency and routing protocol info etc??
