Syslog Rules
by Kirk Sam (RXW) IT Network Engineer 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

Hi All, Has anyone used the syslog rules/alerts yet? I've tried setting up some simple rules to alert if there are particular messages in the syslog but haven't managed to get any to trigger. I've tried making the rules even simpler, for example setting the rule to /port/ (which occurs in the syslog often) and haven't had it trigger either. If I browse to the syslog and use the message search function it does return results. The syslog has been configured and in use for some time - one of my colleagues set it up and followed the syslog integration guide. Is there any further configuration needed for the syslog rules to enable them or something? Many thanks for your help. Regards, Sam

Hi there! When we are deleting a device we struggle with the time it takes, I have done a debug and this seems to be the problem: SQL[DELETE FROM `devices_perftimes` WHERE `device_id` = '593'] ROWS[-1] SQL RUNTIME[97.04324698s] ERROR[Error in query: (The total number of locks exceeds the lock table size) 1206] Can you help me with what I can do to fix this problem?

Re: [Observium] CheckPoint alert creation problem
by Moerman, Maarten 07 Nov '16

Have you selected the right entity type when adding an alert-checker? It needs to be of type “sensor” , it doesn’t work when you leave it on “device” Maarten From: observium <observium-bounces(a)observium.org> on behalf of Laszlo Nemeth <laszlo.nemeth(a)emarsys.com> Reply-To: Observium Network Observation System <observium(a)observium.org> Date: Friday, October 28, 2016 at 3:37 PM To: Observium Network Observation System <observium(a)observium.org> Subject: [Observium] CheckPoint alert creation problem Hello, I have a CheckPoint 2205 device. It is supported by Observium, so we love it :D I would like to create an alert for it’s fan speed. I do a normal alert like our other looks like: Device: hostname match *cpfw01* Entity match: sensor_class equals fanspeed Test condition: sensor_value greater 3000 With this settings if i push a Rebuild, it shows 0 entities. How can i check what is wrong? I tried to change the fanspeed to temperature, but the problem is similar, 0 entities after rebuild. I attached a picture about the graphs of the device. Hmm... if i run a „rebuild” there are see lot of devices but there is no any „FW” devices however we have more whit this FW prefix. May be this is the problem? It looks like this list doesn’t show all of our devices. Thanks Br Laszlo

Force disable 'Neighbours discovery: LLDP-MIB', ['xdp'] = FLASE; not working
by Andy Lemin 06 Nov '16

06 Nov '16

Hi, How can we _Force_ the disablement of discovering hosts via LLDP/XDP? Normally when running poller.php, with '$config['autodiscovery']['xdp'] = FLASE;' set in config.php, everything is fine. However when running '/opt/observium/discovery.php', it finds a switch, and we have LLDP enabled on our servers and switches for other processes related to the management of servers. However this means that Observium takes over an hour to discover a single Virtual Cassis which has 192 ports, with over 100 active servers (all showing up in the LLDP on the switch). Obviously this is a waste of time, and unnecessarily stressful for the servers being scanned and the Observium server. Why is discovery.php not honouring '$config['autodiscovery']['xdp'] = FLASE;' as set in config.php? Cheers, Andy.

Device Properties - Ports - Toggle Not Working
by Iwanski, Ed 06 Nov '16

06 Nov '16

I tried looking for mailing list archives but didn't find them online, please let me know where to look if I am mistaken. We are on Observium Professional 0.16.10.8181, stable svn update rev 8201 shown so looks up to date. We are having problems using the toggle or disable for an entire column on the device properties port page. I thought it might be a browser issue but I have tried Chrome, Firefox and IE from different computers with no luck. Currently the button just behaves like the save button and submits the form instead of changing the status on the existing page. Any thoughts on what else I could check would be appreciated.

by Dano, Leo 03 Nov '16

Hi all, I remember back that ssh wasn't supported, in the later versions has this been implemented? We want Observium to notify is a node loses it's ssh capabilities, versus just icmp Thanks, ----------------------- Leo Dano

Device Down false positive
by Sebastian Klute 03 Nov '16

03 Nov '16

Hi Tom, well it cannot really be that the device is marked as down by alert. Test conditions are as follows: device_status_type ping device_status equals 0 If I understand it correctly, even if snmp is not reachable the device should NOT be marked as down, because it is pingable. Therefore I do not understand why it is still marked as down.
