Disable email alerts
by Sjoerd de Vries 07 Sep '16

07 Sep '16

Hi all, When temporarily disabling email alerts we used to set: $config['email']['enable'] = FALSE; As per: http://www.observium.org/docs/config_options/#email-backend-settings <http://www.observium.org/docs/config_options/#email-backend-settings> However this is no longer working. Is this a bug or can we (temporarily) disable all alerts in a better way? Kind Regards, Sjoerd

Device availability - possible feature request?
by Lyndon Labuschagne 07 Sep '16

07 Sep '16

Hi For the purposes of alerting, is availability a a metric that can be used, and if not is it possible to add somthing where we could create an alert i.e. Type device device_availabilty le 99.5% Device Match * Entity Match * Delay 1 The issue I see is that the duration or scope is a defining factor, i.e availability over X days or X months etc

Alerts interval.
by Gabriel Zamorski 07 Sep '16

07 Sep '16

Hello, I have this parameter $config['alerts']['interval’] with a value 86400 to resend alert notification after a day. Is there any option to have custom intervals depending on alert checker name or.. device name or something?

I/O Latency Metric Alert?
by Robert Williams 07 Sep '16

07 Sep '16

Hi, Is there an attachment point for alerts to be triggered from the metric of I/O Latency? Reason for asking is that I could do with an alert checker which would have spotted this issue (the scale is in seconds!): It went unnoticed overnight until it crippled a virtual host when users started accessing VMs on it this morning. The underlying fault was a RAID card issue, but nothing else detected it and I've just found that Observium 'knew' about it, but we have not alerts which would have caught this. Any ideas? Cheers!

Today my maps changed from Google to openstreetmap (in configuration file I have defined google?!). Meanwhile some locations are not in proper places. Could you tell me what happened?

Device Commets and notes
by Andy Lemin 02 Sep '16

02 Sep '16

Hi, I can see that a ticket has been raised for adding a place to add comments and notes to devices on ticket OBSERVUM-249 http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBSERVIUM-249 The workaround is to use the Description field. However this field is too small to store much useful info, and cannot be read easily as the field does not expand to show more characters. It would be really nice to have the field be able to show all our device notes, currently you can see the information is clipped beyond 65 CHARS as seen below in this example; Thanks and keep up the great work (we love Observium here) :) Cheers, Andy *Linux ar1406 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt25-2 (2016-04-08) x86_64* Description Old Hypervisor running some networking VMs etc. The disk mode is Hardware Generic x86 [64bit] Operating system Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 System name ar1406 Contact Me <me(a)example.org> Location Sitting on the Dock of the Bay Uptime 106 days, 20h 10m 13s

IPMI
by Laurence Mayer 02 Sep '16

02 Sep '16

Hi, I have two servers both with IPMI ports enabled and working. Within Observium I have configured the IPMI Settings for both servers. For one of the servers Observium displays the relevant IPMI information (e.g, CPU Temp etc) however for the second server, the information is not displayed. Firmware are identical. I have confirmed the IPMI configuration a number of times and connectivity does not appear to be the issue. Anyway to troubleshoot this? Thanks Laurence
