Auto Discovery/Automate adding devices.
by Rudolf Hoehler 08 Jul '15

08 Jul '15

Hello Team, Please can you assist me with the auto discovery. It's not working... :) I read in a mailing list archive dated Nov 2014, that it actually doesn't work? Is this still the case? Can I write my own script that adds devices from the backend? Should I use an API call or can I insert into the database directly? Further to that, 1. What happens if I try to add the same device again? Thinking from an automated system, the same hostname might have multiple interfaces that it is reachable on? 2. What happens if we change a device's host name - does observium create a new device? What is best practice when administering the system wrt device swop outs or hostname changes? Regards, Rudolf

Hi everyone, I can´t access our new test installation. I don’t have any Apache knowledge and I guess that´s where the problem lays. I tried to create a vHost, as well as I tried to follow the instructions from the how to page regarding /etc/apache2/sites-available/default <Directory /opt/observium/html/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Require all granted </Directory> Without any success. Help would be highly appreciated. Thanks and regards, Flo

Device Alerts on the Frontpage
by Aaron Hite 07 Jul '15

07 Jul '15

Guys, I have a question regarding alerts showing up on the frontpage. I have alerts coming to me via email when I have a alert checker looking at the memory going above 50% (testing this operation). But on the frontpage I do not see this show up in either the status boxes or under the device alerts section. I search around and can not find anything that I changed that would prevent this from showing up on the frontpage. I am sure I did something, but just not sure what? Any pointers or direction to start looking would be appreciated. Thanks, Aaron

Linux Memory Alerts
by Jason LeBlanc 07 Jul '15

07 Jul '15

Hi all, We're running PE 0.15.7.6539, it seems no matter what I set thresholds for on memory utilization for cached (I can ignore this..) and physical memory. I can look at the graphs and set thresholds to 90-95% and always get alarms. Any ideas or advice?

Support
by Dave Bats 07 Jul '15

Dear Observium Team,, We need your support on this, we try to install MIB's from Eltek(power supply tool) in Observium. We did receive the MIB's from Eltek. After install the MIB's and reboot we see that the system is trying to Read the Eltek MIB's but we see that OID's in the system are not recognized. Is there a way how we can solve this problem, do we need to add some script in Observium to make it work? You support is more than welcome! Kind Regards, Dave Bats

mysql_fetch_array replacement?
by Robert Williams 06 Jul '15

06 Jul '15

Hi, After the SVN up on the 18th July the script we use for generating the Smokeping targets stopped producing any data (the list of slightly reformatted hostnames). The script itself was taken from this mailing list about 2 years ago and is as follows: #!/usr/bin/env php <?php include("/opt/observium/includes/defaults.inc.php"); include("/opt/observium/config.php"); include("/opt/observium/includes/definitions.inc.php"); include("/opt/observium/includes/functions.php"); echo "*** Targets ***\n\nprobe = FPing\n\nmenu = Top\ntitle = Network Latency Grapher\nremark = Welcome to SmokePing\n\n"; $query = mysql_query("SELECT hostname FROM `devices` WHERE `disabled`=0 ORDER BY hostname"); while ($data = mysql_fetch_array($query)) { $hostid = str_replace(".","_",$data['hostname']); $hostname = $data['hostname']; echo "+ $hostid\n\nhost = $hostname\n\n"; } ?> I can see that /includes/functions.php no longer exists but it’s replacement in functions.inc.php does not appear to have a function for mysql_fetch_array(). So my question is, can someone point me to the correct replacement function for this? I’ve had a look through it and can’t see what I’m looking for, but PHP is not my ‘thing’ so I’m missing it.
