Traffic Accounting
by mal＠platinumnetworks.com.au 23 Mar '18

23 Mar '18

Hi all - Have just upgraded to the subscription version and looking to understand what functionality I can get out of the traffic accounting. There are 2 initial aims I'd like to get some thoughts about. 1. Creating alert/email notification based on the outbound total traffic from specific ports. Example: if total outbound data for the current billing period is equal to 50% of quota, email customer. Similarly for say 75%, 90% and 100% of quota. 2. Configure bill to compare only outbound traffic to quota when calculating overusage. I am hoping someone may have tried previously and can give me some direction. Appreciate any thoughts. Mal

New device / custom graph
by Steffen Schwebel 22 Mar '18

22 Mar '18

Greetings o/ I have an instance with observium running and am trying to add a new device/graph for it. There seems to be little information for this. I tried looking into the mailing list archive as well at http://postman.memetic.org/pipermail/observium/ but get a 403. So, forgive me for asking again what must be a frequent question. My device is a PDU from "Gude" described by MIB GUDEADS-PDU818X. I can see that there are already devices from "Gude" in the source like "Gude Expert PDU" described by GUDEADS-PDU8110-MIB but so far I have not been successful. Are there any documents, guides or anything that you can recommend? Any help is greatly appreciated. Best regards, Steffen Schwebel

NTP agent issue
by Ron Marosko 22 Mar '18

22 Mar '18

Howdy Adam, et. al., I've run into an issue with the agent ntpd script on certain of my servers where the command "ntpdc -c iostats" times out with no response. However, the equivalent command used with ntpq works fine and provides the correct information Witness: root@observium:/opt/observium# ntpdc -c iostats localhost: timed out, nothing received ***Request timed out root@observium:/opt/observium# ntpq -c iostats time since reset: 1116387 receive buffers: 10 free receive buffers: 9 used receive buffers: 0 low water refills: 1 dropped packets: 0 ignored packets: 0 received packets: 140116 packets sent: 145459 packet send failures: 0 input wakeups: 140118 useful input wakeups: 140118 root@observium:/opt/observium# Yes, that is actually on the VM running observium. For simplicity of minimum changes to the script, I made the following change: // START SETTINGS /// $ntpq = "ntpq"; $ntpdc = "ntpq"; // END SETTINGS /// End result is this: You can see where I made the change to the script yesterday afternoon. The related version of ntpd is: ntpd - NTP daemon program - Ver. 4.2.8p4 I don't know if you want to push this out as a change overall, but wanted to make you aware of this so that it's documented somewhere at least.

Hi When the CBQoS feature will be fully released? I am using the unofficial (?) feature in the CE edition (about below). I have purchased a subscription but the CBQoS isn't supported their yet.

Anyone have any examples of something similar or a new PDU that could point me in the right direction for this? Thanks, -Darrell

Logging changes to Observium
by Josh Williams 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

Is there a way to log who is doing what whithin Observium? I would like to be able to tell who is adding or deleting devices, making changes to the config, or making any changes to Observium for that matter. I am not able (allowed) to lock down the config by making changes in the config.php. I have to keep the configs open to be changed by anyone on the team. This is truthfully a null point as the admin and root passwords are mandated to be stored in our team password vault anyway. I'd like a way to make others accountable for their actions. Thanks, Josh
