500 error when rebuilding alert checkers
by Jay Christopher 24 May '17

24 May '17

Hey everyone, I'm in the middle of standing up a new observium box and running into an issue where I create an alert checker for port errors. After creating the new checker, I click on rebuild and then get an HTTP 500 error. Attached is a screenshot of the configuration of the alert checker. I'm running 17.5.8561 (rolling) but did occur in a previous release and was hoping that upgrading would fix it but did not. -- Jay

Poller count
by Jay Hanke 24 May '17

24 May '17

I'm frequently running out of memory on a 4 GB VM running CentOS7. The vm only runs Observium. I'm seeing a bunch of php /opt/observium/poller.php processes getting created and the box gradually runs out of memory and mariadb dies. I'm running version 8485. Any ideas? Thanks! Jay

Thank you for your help. Is there a way to have a more frequent polling or is not possible at all? *Davide Magni* Il 05/22/2017 10:59 PM, Tom Laermans ha scritto: > Hi Davide, > > Sorry to have mailed you in private, just saw it, meant to go to the > list... > > Yes, you won't have more accurate graphs when you run a poller every > minute, RRD will only store a single sample every 5 minutes.

Exclusion in "poller.php -h all"
by Davide Magni 22 May '17

22 May '17

Hi, I have a question about the "poller.php -h all" added in crontab, to run every 5 minutes. I need to install a cronjob for son specific appliances, to run every 10 minutes: > */10 * * * * /app/observium/poller.php -h 48 > */10 * * * * /app/observium/poller.php -h 49 > */10 * * * * /app/observium/poller.php -h 50 Is it possible to exclude this specific appliances from the "-h all" option? Thank you. -- *Davide Magni*

Hello, we are running 17.5.8545 rolling and the Real time traffic graph is not working with the following error: "Can't get data about port (port id)" regardless of port id.

Temperature sensors
by Justin Miller 15 May '17

15 May '17

I’ve got a lot of equipment outside and as the weather flips from cool to hot to cool to hot I get a lot of alerts. I’ve got swings from 30 to 55 c. Is there a way to widen the auto generated limits across all system temperature oids? I tried adjusting the alert test conditions using arithmetic but I do not think it’s implemented. I tried this: sensor_value greater (@sensor_limit*1.25) sensor_value less (@sensor_limit_low*0.75) Justin

Changing IP scheme

I'm about to change the IP addresses of the Observium server and all network devices. Do I need to do anything other than change the hosts file? (Not running DNS)
