Stageing and live area
by Danny op de Dijk 25 Mar '16

25 Mar '16

Quick question to people who may know this bit of information regarding the license. We have as company an official version of Observium. We would like to know how many time we can install the software with that key. The reason is we would like to have a operational live situation and a testing area for new devices codes etc.... Is this possible or is it needed to buy two licenses. Thanks again for anyone that can answer this question.

by Tibor Marchyn 25 Mar '16

25 Mar '16

Hi, We are using Sophos UTM (Astaro) appliance, but it's currently not supported by Observium by default. What is correct process to request adding support for additional MIBs? I didn't find simple answer if it's possible somehow just add MIB file to observium without developing. Thanks

Problem with RRD spikes
by Danny op de Dijk 25 Mar '16

25 Mar '16

Dear readers, As of a couple of months now we are the happy users of Observium. And after a lot of tweaking and tunning we have a great tool monitoring our network and all of its devices. Still there are some issues we still can't work out or find any information about on the net. I'll describe as best as I can wat I want to fix. On the Observium site there is a section called Miscellaneous with a need trick to irradicate those RDD spikes. The code to use on the command line is as follow: for i in rrd/*/*.rrd; do scripts/removespikes.pl $i; done; And when I execute this code on de command line of Observium (Via Putty) I'm only getting an error message saying: -bash: scripts/removespikes.pl: Permission denied And this message a couple of times over and over again. After a short whil it stopes and nothing has been done to the spikes on the tables of Observium. So natuarly my question is what am I doing wrong, or better what file or folder hasn't got the right rights for me to execute this command. It would be very helpful if these kind of information or any kind of information was availible on the Observium website, but it isn't. And I'm very doudfull it will ever happen. So if anyone has somekind of solution it would be very helpfull. Kind regards, [B4ict_Logo_Only]Danny op de Dijk | B4ICT W: www.b4ict.nl<http://www.b4ict.nl> @: helpdesk(a)b4ict.nl<mailto:helpdesk@b4ict.nl> T: 035-678 06 65 Remote support (Windows)<http://www.b4ict.nl/downloads/teamviewer_windows.exe> Remote support (Mac)<http://www.b4ict.nl/downloads/teamviewer_mac.zip>

Nested location menu without geocodes
by Wiethoff, Helge 25 Mar '16

25 Mar '16

Hi all, is it possible to make the location menu nested without using geocodes? Approximateley like the geocodes are managed... For example: Switch A: snmp location "Building 1, Floor 2, Room 23" Switch B: snmp location "Building 1, Floor 2, Room 23" Switch C: snmp location "Building 1, Floor 1, Room 42" Locations ------- Building 1 -> Floor 1 -> Room 42 (2 devices) -> Floor 2 -> Room 23 (1 device) Building X ... Maybe this is already possible but i am not able to configure it right :-) Otherwise this would be a nice feature when many devices are placed in the same building but in different floors/rooms. cheers, Helge PS: using Observium Professional 0.16.3.7659

Hello all, I have two installs and one works fine but the other that installed the exact same way shows the Custom and Defualt settings in Global Settings at the same time. You cannot click on them to change from Default to Custom. I installed the same exact way this week, but the one I installed last week works fine. Any thoughts? Thanks, ----------------------- Leo Dano

'Arch -> Extension' repeating in Eventlog
by Robert Williams 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

Hi, Got a weird issue with one device, it's running Ubuntu 14.04.1 / 3.19.0-56 and is continuously reporting a change of Architecture (to an invalid name) on every poll. Event log for the device below: The device details show this (although without an 'n'): I have no idea what could be so unique about this device, we have plenty of systems running this OS/version and no others reporting this issue. It's a pretty basic build, environmental monitoring box. It appears to be being written by the Unix-Agent module, but I'm not clear why. I've attached the debug of the agent module which shows it setting the Arch, but, I don't understand where it gets it from in the first place? Any ideas most welcome - Cheers!

Port Description or Change Port Name And Mailing list Archive
by Hostmaster＠offpla.net 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

Hello 2 questions, 1st the link on the site to the mailing list archive produces a 404, is there an updated link to review the archive available? 2nd Does a way exist to change the given port name, or to add a description to a port? We have many switches we monitor and it would be very helpful to add a description or change extend a name of a port, so we could instantly know , this port is related to workstation A101 or server B101, or Access point8, and so on. Yes we have other means of accomplishing this, however it's not the instant recognition this would provide. Thanks Pete LaForge Hostmaster(a)offpla.net Logic is only the beginning of Wisdom.

Blank page after messing with php
by Jason Vanlandingham 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

I have a small install on CentOS 6. I saw the message in the web interface about the php version, so I tried updating it from 5.3.3 to 5.6. I got a blank page after that. I found the tip about editing php.ini to set memory_limit = 1024M but that didn't work. I removed 5.6 and went back to 5.3.3 and made the php.ini edit again, but no luck. (Full system restart after each change) What should I look at before I decide this is the excuse I need to wipe the whole thing and go to CentOS 7?

Modify reported Custom OID Values?
by Gumilar Siegfried 21 Mar '16

21 Mar '16

Hello, I am pretty new to Observium and really love it. Right now I am adding some Custom OIDs from our devices. We are using these devices to log the power usage of our housing customers: http://www.hw-group.com/products/HWg-PWR/hwg-pwr25_M-bus_gateway_en.html There is a small problem with the reported power usage. The device reports the values a hundred times higher than they are supposed to be, e.g. 100 kWh when in fact it should be 1 kWh. Is there a way I can divide the polled values before they are stored? If not could you please add such a feature? I was able to do this in WhatsUp Gold, but I want to get rid of it :) Thanks in advance. Regards, Siegfried
