Syslog Alerts
by Brad Bendy 05 Oct '16

05 Oct '16

Hi, First off, the last few revisions have been killer, it's getting better every few weeks it seems, thanks! Ive setup some syslog alerts and I see under "syslog alerts" it will show a entry and "notified" will be no, then it appears after a few minutes this changes to yes and send the notification. It looks like it does not send the message until it sees more then X number of messages, It's sent after I get this in the logs: 2016-10-04 20:53:13Error (3)LAST message repeated 10 times 2016-10-04 20:52:47Error (3)LAST message repeated 7 times 2016-10-04 20:52:33Error (3)XNTPD NTP Server Unreachable Is this documented somewhere and Im missing it? Just trying to see when the message gets fired off. We were using some janky omprog code to send alerts that were "instant" but rather have Observium send them as it's much cleaner all around, but some alerts we want to get on the very first message and right away as they are critical. I noticed the syslog rules severity of a 8, im guessing eventually that will control how "sensitive" the alerts go out maybe? Thanks

CBQoS Issue & Temperature
by Talk Jesus 05 Oct '16

05 Oct '16

Hello First thing, does the attach show anything I need to be concerned about? The warnings, although 6 days ago I'm not understanding where they came from. These are new switches, all 3 fans installed and green lights. Airflow sufficient and cooled. Secondly, I have 3 ports showing a CBQoS error. I checked and see it's due to packet loss because of rate limiting policy set previously. Running Cisco 3650. I've removed the policies from each of the port's VLANs assigned over an hour ago and Observium is still showing as the policies in place? It polled ample times on all ports but not quite sure why it's still showing the policies and errors? I did notice at least that it showed no packet loss once I removed the policies, but the error bubble is still there and it still shows the policy name when viewing the CBQoS page for the ports. >From the Switch Switch2#conf t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Billing update
by Eduardo Schoedler 04 Oct '16

04 Oct '16

Hi, I just added a port to a billing, so I imagine observium is going to calculate since today, right? However, today is day 3. How can I generate statistics for a specific billing since day 1? Thank you. Regards, -- Eduardo Schoedler

Alert on failed HDD
by Fredrik Winäs 04 Oct '16

04 Oct '16

Hi Did a test on a Linux (Ubuntu 16 on a Supermicro SYS-6017R-73HDP+) machine to see if we could get an alert when a HDD fails. The machine isn't using any RAID , just a plain mount of a partition to a mount point. I have configured IPMI in Observium to. The test (a bit brutal..) was to just remove the HDD when the server was ON. I did not see anything in Observium about the missing drive. What can I do so I can set up an alert checker notifying me about a failed drive? Will the unix_agent give me more info on this? Med Vänlig Hälsning Fredrik Winäs tel +46 31 762 02 43 fredrik.winas(a)cgit.se<mailto:fredrik.winas@cgit.se> www.cgit.se<http://www.cgit.se/> CGit AB Taljegårdsgatan 11C SE-431 53 Mölndal [cid:image001.png@01D21E53.0889E7A0]

by Johann Mallet 30 Sep '16

30 Sep '16

Hello, It's possible to activate the SLAs search from the global search box? Another question : Search box in the SLA page is planned in the future? We have 2040 SLA (and many more in the future (>10k)). It's complicated for the support's guys :-) Thanks, Johann

Custom alerts without using checkers
by Andy Lemin 30 Sep '16

30 Sep '16

Hi, We have many custom scripts, and we would like those scripts to be able to send custom alerts into Observium. What is the best way to do this? We would not be able to use "Alert checks".. Or is there a special trap that we can use for this where we can define the Alert message string in the trap packet? Cheers, Andy.

Wowza MIB
by Matt Vinson 30 Sep '16

30 Sep '16

How does one go about requesting MIB support? Or alternatively, adding MIB support manually to one's own server? Wowza Streaming Engine just recently added SNMP and developed their own MIB. It would be extremely useful for us to be able to monitor this application in depth.
