Cisco switches showing wrong Packet Size
by Jim Glassford 26 Apr '17

26 Apr '17

Hi, No luck trying to review the Observium Archives see if this was asked before, getting a Not Found off the web link. Running Observium 17.3.8438 (stable), question on MTU size on Cisco interfaces. On our HP ProCurve switches with Jumbo enabled, all displays correctly, see MTU as 9216 on the interfaces as expected. On our Cisco models with Jumbo enabled, MTU shows 1500 on Average Packet Size graph. I believe this is due to Cisco interfaces showing the MTU as 1500 even when Jumbo frames are enabled and are passing Jumbo on the switch interfaces. Seeing this on both Cisco models 2960s and 3K the Average Packet Size found to be 1500. Any chance someone have a work around for this Cisco problem, able to set the MTU up to 9216 for the interfaces? Appreciated! Jim

OID question
by Medve István 25 Apr '17

25 Apr '17

Hi All, is there any way to disable some specific data source (not all the mib) ? For eg. FC/SFP ports current/voltage/temperature/dbm ? I should save some disk IO (mysql, rrd). Nightly housekeeping cause extremly high load and stops polling. Thanks in advance, imedve

Device not visible
by Gumilar Siegfried 25 Apr '17

25 Apr '17

Hello! We have a device that is no longer visible in Observium. It is not in the device list and the search function can't find it. I tried to add it again to Observium, but get this message: "Already got device xyz." Running "./discovery.php -h xyz" returns this: "WARNING: 0 devices discovered. Did you specify a device that does not exist?" Is there something wrong with our database? How to fix it? Thanks, Siegfried

Notifications in Hipchat
by Steve Pierce 21 Apr '17

21 Apr '17

I’m not sure if anyone else would find this useful or not, but this quick change to make Hipchat throw up a notification flag. If this is a horrible hack, I apologize in advance. [observium]# more ./includes/alerting/hipchat.inc.php <?php /** * Observium * * This file is part of Observium. * * @package observium * @subpackage alerting * @copyright (C) 2006-2013 Adam Armstrong, (C) 2013-2016 Observium Limited * */ $color = ($message_tags['ALERT_STATE'] == "RECOVER" ? "green" : "red"); // Default URL if not set if ($endpoint['url'] == "") { $endpoint['url'] = 'https://api.hipchat.com'; } $message = '<a href="'.$message_tags['ALERT_URL'].'">'.$message_tags['TITLE'].'</a>'; $message .= '<br />'; $message .= str_replace(" ", "", str_replace("\n", " ", $message_tags['METRICS'])); // JSON data $data_string = json_encode(array( "from" => $endpoint['from'], "notify" => 'true', //Added this statement "color" => $color, "message_format" => 'html', "message" => $message)); Thanks, Steve Pierce

Hi! Not sure if there's any development in regard to the mapping capabilities, but I fell over this one : http://www.cytoscape.org/ and there's a JS script (http://js.cytoscape.org/) that could integrate quite nicely with the data available in the Observium database. /Jesper

Cyan Z77
by Jay Hanke 19 Apr '17

19 Apr '17

I am having difficultly getting a Cyan Z77 to detect properly as a Cyan device in Observium. I noticed that the mib files came loaded in the mib folder with the initial installation. I have not added any add on modules yet. Running CentOS 7. Here is what my event log looks like 22h 19m 10.x.x.13 sysDescr -> 'Z77' 22h 19m 10.x.x.13 sysName -> 'z77' 22h 19m 10.x.x.13 sysObjectID -> '.1.3.6.1.4.1.28533.1.1' 22h 22m 48s 10.x.x.13 Device added: 10.x.x.13 (by user: xxxxxx) The device shows up as generic. Did I miss a setting someplace? Thanks, Jay
