Cisco Port Errors Alerts
by Gagandeep Mann 11 Feb '16

11 Feb '16

We are monitoring Cisco routers using Observium We have seen that the list of Errored Ports displays only ports that have "Tx/Rx Errors" on them - it is not displaying ports which have "Tx/Rx Discards". The Custom Alerts documentation also does not mention any way to check Interface Discards separately, We have tried adding ifOutDiscards_rate, but it does not work. Is there any way to achieve this.

Brocade Virtual Fabrics
by Ole Hansen 11 Feb '16

11 Feb '16

Hello, We’re using Brocade FC-switches with virtual fabrics. According to http://community.brocade.com/t5/Fibre-Channel-SAN/Looking-for-monitor-virtu… <http://community.brocade.com/t5/Fibre-Channel-SAN/Looking-for-monitor-virtu…> using snmpv3 and “context” I should be able to monitor ports in each context. Is this supported in Observium? Setting a specific context for snmpv3. As far as I know, it’s only possible to add a device once, if it has the same IP - how would i monitor the different contexts? — Ole Hansen

Cisco 6500 PSU with 1xAC fault
by Robert Williams 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

Hi, Does anyone know if there is a way to detect a failed AC input on a 6500 PSU when the PSU has dual inputs? I've just noticed that when one of the inputs is removed from each PSU there is no indication in Observium that anything is wrong at all. At the CLI you can see the status changes to AC LOW. For example, below I have removed one of the AC inputs from power supply No.2 #show environment status power-supply 1: power-supply 1 fan-fail: OK power-supply 1 power-input: AC high power-supply 1 power-output-mode: high power-supply 1 incompatible with fan: OK power-supply 1 power-output-fail: OK power-supply 2: power-supply 2 fan-fail: OK power-supply 2 power-input: AC low power-supply 2 power-output-mode: low power-supply 2 incompatible with fan: OK power-supply 2 power-output-fail: OK You also get a reduction in the 'capacity' of the PSU, as shown below: #show power Power-Capacity PS-Fan Output Oper PS Type Watts A @42V Status Status State ---- ------------------ ------- ------ ------ ------ ----- 1 WS-CAC-6000W 5771.64 137.42 OK OK on 2 WS-CAC-6000W 2671.20 63.60 OK OK on Nothing that I can see in Observium shows any of this information so there is nothing for me to Threshold on. Anyone hit this already and come up with a way of doing it? Or is there an OID for the AC Low/High status which can perhaps be added for Observium to see? Cheers!

Port names for D-Link 'smart' switches
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

Minor feature suggestion for the D-LINK switches. As, iin Observium, one cannot change the port description, you need to rely on being able to set those in the switches (e.g. when you want to use Peering, Transit and other trickery). On D-LINK ifName contains a generated Slot0/1 … Slot0/28, etc. These cannot be changed. However at .1.3.6.1.4.1.171.10.76.21.1.1.16.1.2 (DGS series) .1.3.6.1.4.1.171.10.75.15.2.1.14.1.3 (DES series) and so on - there is a always a table with a sysPortDescString : $ snmptranslate -Tp -M+`pwd`:d-link -m+DES-1210-28MEbx .1.3.6.1.4.1.171.10.75.15.2.1.14.1.3 +-- -RW- String sysPortDescString(3) Textual Convention: DisplayString Size: 0..32 I.e. in the private enterprise MIBs for the various DGS/DES switches there is a sysPortDescString that can be set by the user through the file/SDN or web interfaces. Example of the output below. May be useful to pick up.

Random NetMan UPS sensors appeared
by Robert Williams 09 Feb '16

09 Feb '16

Hi, Our daily discovery has just found a load of (invalid) new sensors on all our various Riello NetMan cards everywhere, easiest to show the image below. Basically, it seems to find various infratec-rms sensors, whatever they are? Obviously they don't exist on these devices, so we suddenly got a load of alarms from each UPS for each of the "failed" sensors: Running 7575 - Any ideas? Cheers!

Rename ports? Ignore?
by John May 09 Feb '16

09 Feb '16

Is it possible to rename ports on a device? Eg: to make a switch's ports named as per the server connected to them? Also, can ports be ignored as servers can on the reporting? - John -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- John May : President http://www.pointinspace.com/ Point In Space Internet Solutions 800.664.8610 919.338.8198

Accessing Observium from mobile devices
by Laz C. Peterson 08 Feb '16

08 Feb '16

Hello everyone, We are trying out Observium CE, now seriously considering the subscription, and really love the interface and functionality of the application. One requirement we have is being able to access this information from a mobile device, such as iPhone. I have been searching online, unable to find any information about this topic. Does anyone know of a solution to this, or is there an existing template, app or product that can interface with Observium? Beautiful piece of software. Much thanks for any suggestions or insight. ~ Laz Peterson Paravis, LLC
