by Mike Driscoll 28 Aug '15

28 Aug '15

I would like to use the Simple API to pull out a simple list of all host names matching a particular naming convention. Does anyone know of any examples or documentation I can refer to to create a small script to do something like this? Mike

This one is indeed harmless. It's a duplicate to try and fix an update that failed for some people I believe.

Re: [Observium] help creating alerts

Hi Adam, I found the wiki page to make perfect sense after looking at some examples. I just visited the pages and since the wiki migration - your examples did not pull through - they used to be right at the bottom of the alert creation page? http://www.observium.org/docs/alert_checker/ Alert Checker Exmaples is blank?

Ok I think i follow you.. But isn't it a little redudant to have Entity? I mean with the alert im trying to make im looking at specifik storage usages. Wouldn't it go without saying the entity im looking at is the disks? my condition is storage_perc and so i don't see the point in also specifying harddisk in the association entity? I have made my alert this way now.. is this correct? will it work?

If you want to match all devices, you put * in the device box. If you want to match all ports for a port entity type alert, you put * in the entity box. If you want to only match ethernet ports on a port alert, you put "ifType eq ethernetCsmacd" in the entity box. adam.

Empty Chart
by Michael Ponto 26 Aug '15

26 Aug '15

I know I missed something but not sure what. Just did a fresh install of Observium on Ubuntu 14 LS and everything except the charts are working. All devices are reporting processor info, temp, errors, ect. It is just that the charts are empty. Anyone have any suggestions as to where to start looking?
