I am having issues with the alert checker. I cannot get entities to populate. When I click the rebuild button this shows up. I have Observium version 0.16.1.7407 (Stable) running on CentOS 7 [cid:image001.png@01D14E08.DB5F5D20]

Alert Checkers
by Matt Zillmann 13 Jan '16

13 Jan '16

Hello, I just purchased the subscription version and am looking into setting up Alert checkers. How do I get an alert checker to run? I was referring to documentation and looked the DEMO and it looks like the checker will determine a pass/fail. I have set one for storage [cid:image001.png@01D14DF5.9B1B9F20] Is there something else I need to put?

it’s not “broken” in the sense that CSCO officially considers multicontext snmp the “by-design” method (and I have the TAC cases to prove it). remember, snmp *works* which means it’s for grouchy old [grey|neck]beards. netconf & shiny-api-disaster-of-the-week are supposed to rule the new agile! world! of! devops! ( *gag* ) not just ASRs … for instance, it’s the same thing (multicontext snmp hell) with VRFs on n7k’s. so, it’s a “feature” not a “bug” smh R. > On Jan 13, 2016, at 07:00, observium-request(a)observium.org wrote: > > Because the MIB is broken and doesn?t have any concept of VRF awareness. > > The workaround that I used on my ASR9Ks was to create a different context for the VRF in question. > > This config example basically treats the vrf Inetv4 as the default vrf when polling with community blahpoo.

95th percent billing
by ChanTy 13 Jan '16

13 Jan '16

Hi, I just want to clarify the burstable rate calculation which should work as below according to wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burstable_billing#95th_percentile) : “ Bandwidth is measured (or sampled) from the switch or router and recorded in a log file. In most cases, this is done every 5 minutes. At the end of the month, the samples are sorted from highest to lowest, and the top 5% (which equal to approximately 36 hours of a 30-day billing cycle) of data is thrown away. The next highest measurement becomes the billable use for the entire month. “ Is observium applying the same calculation on BILLING feature ? Is it possible to download RAW file in which has sample of every 5 minutes ? Regards, chanty

Not receiving email notifications. Has there been a change in Alert system I need to know about?
by Richard Kuhns 11 Jan '16

11 Jan '16

Hello, I recently updated my Observium installation; I'm now running 0.16.1.7473. I haven't changed any configurations. I followed procedure, as far as I know: polling was finished, I did the 'svn up' followed by './discovery.php -u' and everything looked fine. However, I should have just received an email both when a port I'm monitoring went down, and about half an hour later when it recovered. Looking through the alert log, I see the entries that say 'Alert notification sent' followed later by 'Recovery notification sent'. I didn't receive either notification, there's nothing in the mail queue, and maillog doesn't show any attempts. This was working perfectly before my update. I'm afraid I don't remember which version that was, but it was from about a week before I saw comments in the mailing list about the change in layout on the front page.
