Sensors changing precision/scale
by Michael 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

Has anybody encountered devices that change their scale/precision whenever they feel like it? We have some that now behave this way after a recent software upgrade. We think it's a vendor bug (in this instance, Bluecoat), but might be prudent to catch the changing precision value during the poll. Currently it looks like the precision is detected once and stored in the db. Then subsequent polling is only adjusted based on the original precision value. I've attached a graph and some walks showing the behaviour...

device urls by hostname not id. [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
by Peter.Hine＠familycourt.gov.au 28 Jan '16

28 Jan '16

Vers: CE 0.16.1.7533 I've found that editing html/includes/entities/device.inc.php, line 478 return generate_url(array('page' => 'device', 'device' => $device ['device_id']), $vars); -> return generate_url(array('page' => 'device', 'device' => $device ['hostname']), $vars); produces urls that are hostname based. The questions are: was this the right place ? was there a variable somewhere i had to turn on to make this happen ? thanks Peter Hine Senior Technical Support Engineer (Servers) FCoA ITS peter.hine(a)familycourt.gov.au ********************************************************************** The information contained in this e-mail (including any attachments) is for the exclusive use of the addressee.

CE 0.16.1.7533 graph errors
by Roland Hill 28 Jan '16

28 Jan '16

Hi, Firstly, a big thanks to the Dev team for releasing the latest CE version; very much appreciated. Since the upgrade my "Custom traffic graphs" just have the "Error drawing graph" message. Secondly, I also note the SNMP Statistic graphs on all devices have the same message. As I just use Observium on my home network "because I can" none of this is critical for me but I'd thought I'd pass on my observations. Thanks again for the release (my DD-WRT devices now report correctly ;-)). -- Regards, Roland PGP Key 0xDA39319B = BCF0 1214 BAE9 5A3D 46FC 21A6 360D 9398 DA39 319B

Hostname change
by Christian Gerbrandt 28 Jan '16

28 Jan '16

Hi, when I setup Observium for the first time, I used a local only DNS setup. In the meantime, we created a corporate wide DNS setup for our Lab. Old devices are still available, but obviously show up with their old hostname. Is there an easy way to change the hostname of a device? Regards, Christian

by Aurélien PERRODY 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Hello Since version Observium Professional 0.15.11.7200 I can't receive email alert. It worked until this version. My actual version: Observium 0.16.1.7533 (26th January 2016). Here my simple alert checker (device down) [cid:image001.png@01D158F6.F24CBED0] I can send and receive an email test with this command (so I exclude an issue with my mail server) root@xxxxxx:/opt/observium# php test_alert.php -a xxxxxxx here the configuration of the contact: [cid:image004.png@01D158F7.61721D50] And finally the screenshot of global settings: [cid:image003.png@01D158F7.ABC11820] Can you please tell me what's wrong with the conf? Something is missing? Many thanks for support Best Aurélien

Monitor OSX system. Problem with reported size for NFS share and monitor processes
by Henrik Cednert (Filmlance) 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Hi there. Monitoring a osx "server" with observium. To get it to see the NF shares I added this to snmpd.conf: skipNFSInHostResources 0 storageUseNFS 2 This worked and I now see the shares. The large NAS is reported with wrong sizes though. Expected is this: df -ah |grep midskog filmddn:/ddnnas0/midskog 958Ti 193Ti 765Ti 21% 7479476 692520524 1% /Volumes/midskog Reported in observium is: Size: 208GB Used: 915GB Free: -707GB I actually think this could be an net-snmp bug in OSX but I'm not sure. When I snmpwalk locally I see this for that particular mount: HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageType.61 = OID: HOST-RESOURCES-TYPES::hrStorageFixedDisk HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.61 = STRING: /Volumes/midskog HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageAllocationUnits.61 = INTEGER: 512 Bytes HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageSize.61 = INTEGER: 436207616 HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageUsed.61 = INTEGER: 1920024576 Any one that had similar issues and found a solution? Next issue is that i try to monitor a process called 'nsd'. I have added it so snmpd.conf and when i walk the device locally I see it: filmserver01:snmp filmserver01$ snmpwalk -c public -v2c localhost UCD-SNMP-MIB::prTable UCD-SNMP-MIB::prIndex.1 = INTEGER: 1 UCD-SNMP-MIB::prNames.1 = STRING: nsd UCD-SNMP-MIB::prMin.1 = INTEGER: 0 UCD-SNMP-MIB::prMax.1 = INTEGER: 1 UCD-SNMP-MIB::prCount.1 = INTEGER: 1 UCD-SNMP-MIB::prErrorFlag.1 = INTEGER: noError(0) UCD-SNMP-MIB::prErrMessage.1 = STRING: UCD-SNMP-MIB::prErrFix.1 = INTEGER: noError(0) UCD-SNMP-MIB::prErrFixCmd.1 = STRING: But observium doesn't pick it up. Is this something that isn't supported or am I missing something? Cheers and thanks. -- Henrik Cednert cto | td | compositor Filmlance International Direct + 46 (0)704 71 89 54
