Request feature: Comment when suppressing alert
by Lars Joergensen 03 May '23

03 May '23

Dear list We're have three teams working in Observium, spread across the globe and time zones. We spend some time figuring out why alerts were suppressed and by who. Would it be possible to add a comment on a suppression action? Kind of a "operator event log" in Observium, correlated to devices and users.

FortiGate IPsec Tunnels "Missing" From PHP Weathermap
by Storer, Darren 02 May '23

02 May '23

Has anyone else noticed that FortiGate IPsec tunnels are now missing from the PHP Weathermap search box? We've been monitoring a number of tunnels for a while but when I came to update the weather map to keep an eye on some new tunnels, they don't appear in the PHP Weathermap editor, although the tunnels can be found by examining the ports within Observium. Any suggestions gratefully received. Darren

Questions on Sensor Alerts
by Brad Bendy 27 Apr '23

27 Apr '23

I've got some MikroTik routers that under Statuses shows the Primary and Backup power supplies. Having a hard time trying to figure out how to get alerts for these to be sent. These are type of sensor I am pretty sure but what to match on? Is best way to match on MIBObject or description of some sort? I have tried a few things and can't seem to get the alerts to match. Any direction would be appreciated. Thanks

BGP Routing summaries failing

Hi! One of our guys just noticed that the BGP page is no longer rendering. I cannot confirm when it occurred (currently at rev 12695).

Alerting if LAG member drops?
by Bryan Fields 22 Mar '23

22 Mar '23

I'm looking at an easy way to send an alert if a LAG member drops. Running subscription Observium 22.12.12421 and talking a Juniper EX4500 switch. My thought was to have a global check that looked for ifType = ieee8023adLag and then if there was some way members changed, but I don't see a way to detect/check for this. I don't think Observium has any graphing on the LAG port members state. BTW, this would be a great thing to add to have viability into LAG members at the ae level. Perhaps checking if ifHighSpeed goes down? Other than putting up check on the underlying interfaces manually, does anyone have an idea on this? Thanks, -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net
