False positives on Device Alerts
by Timothy Kaufman 27 Sep '16

27 Sep '16

We have an SE installation with about 260 devices being checked. We have alerting setup for various services or checks. Often we see false positives on the SNMP device down alert, for example devices will report SNMP down when they are not really down. After a second or even third SNMP check we see a recovery and the uptime shows no outage. I also verify this by doing and snmpwalk from observium while the “alert” is active. Is there anything we can check or begin to look to find the cause. The server is not overloaded, with either memory or processor. We are running 25 poller wrappers with a complete polling time of about 300 seconds. Thanks, Tim

Hi, I am having an issue with latest Observium release 0.16.9.8086 (9th September 2016), after updating to latest revision the discovery/polling is still working fine according to logs, however the web interface shows 'No devices found' and can't access any data. Any hints on how to solve this issue or investigate further ? Resetting the search parameters doesn't help. Best regards, Alessandro

Disabled devices showing on front page

Hi Guys, We updated our observium installation yesterday, and since then we're getting alerts (from the alert module) and front page alerts for devices that are disabled. The version we're running is 0.16.9.8092 (rolling). I really don't want to delete these devices, as the historical data is useful.. [image: pasted1]

Port Alerts
by Peter Smith 23 Sep '16

23 Sep '16

Hi, I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question but I am interested in setting up alerts for key ports only. I have setup the example which shows Enabled ports which are currently down: Tests ifAdminStatus equals up ifOperStatus notequals up Entity Match ifType equals ethernetCsmacd However I cannot work out how to refine it further - such as trunk ports only or if the port description contains a string, such as "CORE". We would like to know when key ports go down only. I have tried adding: ifAlias equals *CORE* and similar configuration but I expect I have the syntax incorrect. The idea would be to alert on either ports containing a certain word in their description or on tagged/trunk ports. I also tried to find a location to search the old emails from this mailing list but have been unable to find it. Many thanks, Peter

Alert ifInOctets_perc doesn't match port ifInOctets_perc?
by Mailing Lists 15 Sep '16

15 Sep '16

Had a couple of utilisation alerts come through today reporting a 10Gig port as over 80% utilisation, when in reality it doesnt appear to be that busy?. The alert email shows this graph, showing over 100% utilisation and a solid 80+% most of the day: [image: Inline images 1] When you click through the embedded link to the 'real' graph in Observium itself, it reports the correct utilisation figures I would epxect to see based on the traffic graph: [image: Inline images 2] Traffic graph for the port: [image: Inline images 3] Are the alerts reading the information from a different rrd? Doesn't seem like it as the port would be alarming constantly based on the graph in the email as it shows over 80% for most of the day? Happy to accept that the port may have spiked to 8Gbps, but I would have thought this would have been reflected in the graphs somewhere but if anything traffic was tailing off? Is there possibly an issue with the alerting on ifInOctets_perc or do I need to be looking more closely at what the device is reporting, which on face value _seems_ OK looking at a debug of poller.php? Thanks, Tim C

Hi all, we are using Observium as support tool and have some difficulties with search bar. If someone want to search a description like: Asia-mSwitchVRF_5 you have to fill all letters in one line, for example: mswitchvrf_5 , otherwise no result found. Event if you type "mswitch5" or "asia-mswitchvr5" nothing.. I think we are not alone with this problem here? And how to find ports from this place? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8459860/Temp/Screenshot%20from%202016-0…
