Yes, thanks, if you look further in the thread, you will see I found this also Quote: >Nick, I see the devicename notnull and I will use that, thanks for the tip > >Can someone from observium please let us know if the documentation will ever be updated, and is there a “right way” to do this???? I would still like someone at observium to address the documentation issues and publish a new guide to writing checkers that reflects the changes made last year.

Creating check on sensors which only have measured up state
by Previder Network 06 Mar '20

06 Mar '20

Hi Observium Community, Hopefully someone can help me here. I'm using Observium Professional Edition. I'm struggling creating a check on sensors of type dBm which only has measured up state. When i go to Health -> dBm i see al my ports power levels. I can filter there on sensor event "critical". Then i'm getting a nice overview of ports which are below threshold. But most of these ports are down. So many of them are false positives and i'm not interested in them. Then we have the option "Measured State". Over there i can select "Measured Up" and then i'm getting the exact list i want. So i would like to create a check based on this. But when creating a check and assigning associations i'm not able to match based on the "Measured UP" state. In the groups section i'm also having this limitation. Am i overlooking something or is this not possible of hopefully i need to do this another way. Many thanks! Kind Regards, Nick Derksen, Previder B.V

Disk space being full

Hi all, Disk space is full on our Observium and we lost the GUI access (only CLI). I’m trying to use “housekeeping.php -a” to clean up the space, and use “delete_device.php” to delete a few offending devices using up lots of space. But it didn’t help much yet. For example, even if I tried to delete a device “phx-nx5596-04”: sjc-observium-1:/opt/observium# ./delete_device.php phx-nx5596-04 Observium 19.5.9872 Remove Device CACHE CLEAR SET.
