Alert emails not working
by Aurélien PERRODY 18 Mar '15

18 Mar '15

Hi, I recently bought the full version of Observium to get alerts system. So I migrated from the CE version to full version, no problem. I edited the config.php file as well: -------------------- // Enable alerter (not available in CE) $config['poller-wrapper']['alerter'] = TRUE; // Set up a default alerter (email to a single address) $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['descr'] = "Default Email Alert"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['type'] = "email"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['contact'] = "xxx(a)xxx.com"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['enable'] = TRUE; // Configuration email (APE 2015-03-12) $config['email']['backend']= 'smtp'; $config['email']['enable'] = TRUE; $config['email']['from'] = 'xxx(a)xxx.com'; $config['email']['default'] = 'xxx(a)xxx.com'; $config['email']['default_only'] = TRUE; $config['email']['smtp_host'] = '192.168.1.29'; $config['email']['smtp_port'] = 25; $config['email']['smtp_timeout']= 10; $config['email']['smtp_secure']= NULL; $config['email']['smtp_auth']= NULL; $config['email']['smtp_username'] = NULL; $config['email']['smtp_password'] = NULL; -------------------- When I check my configuration, it works, I received the email test, no problem. ------------------- root@MEDSRV15:/home/logs# /opt/observium/test_mail.php -h MEDHPV01 No log handling enabled - turning on stderr logging /etc/snmp/snmp.conf: line 6: Warning: Unknown token: rocommunity. Observium 0.15.3.6342 Test E-mail Configuration See mail backend options here: http://www.observium.org/wiki/Configuration_Options#Email_backend_settings My Hostname: MEDSRV15.xxxx.xxxxx E-mails ENABLED globally ($config['email']['enable']) E-mails use SMTP backend ($config['email']['backend']) smtp host: [192.168.1.29] smtp port: [25] smtp timeout: [10] smtp auth: [FALSE] E-mails send only to default email ($config['email']['default_only']) E-mails use these default recipient(s) ($config['email']['default']): xxxx(a)xxxxx.com E-mails send from ($config['email']['from']): xxxxx(a)xxxxxx.com E-mails send to recipients based on default recipient from config and/or device sysContact. Try send test notification for medhpv01 to these email(s): xxxxx(a)xxxxx.com EMAILING Notification for medhpv01 SENT. ------------------- Then I created a classic alert checker, when devices are down. -Conditions: device_status eq 0 -Device match * entity match * Alerts on the webpage works correctly, but I did not receive an alert email. So Y U NO WORK OBSERVIUM?? :) I read the wiki but don't see my pb... Many thanks for helping.

Alerting system patch
by Gert-Jan de Boer 16 Mar '15

16 Mar '15

Hi, A while ago I posted this patch to Jira, after some brief discussion I didn't hear back about it. I would like to add some more notification backends (for example Slack integration), is there any reason why this would not be accepted? The patch is under http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBSERVIUM-1194 Kind regards, GJ

MySQL/Apache apps
by Asensio Sánchez, Juan 16 Mar '15

Hi We have just installed Observium from SVN, added some hosts, and almost everything seems to work fine. We have some MySQL servers, and followed the instructions to get the graphs. Running observium_agent in the MySQL server, I get the <<<mysql>>> section. Doing telnet to the MySQL server from the Observium server, to the agent port, I get the same section, but I don't get any data in the device page. Any advice? The same happens with the Apache servers. Regards.

adding private ip address
by Tshering DHENDUP 14 Mar '15

14 Mar '15

Dear Team, We are trying to add private IP address to the observium. Our picture: the observium server is having a private IP address tho' NATed to a public ip address. I am trying to add the private IP( of a switch/router), and it gives me the following error Try to add 192.168.128.1: Could not resolve 192.168.128.1. Devices skipped: 1. Does this mean that, the devices can't be added using their IP? Or should the IP be DNS mapped( resolvable )?
