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). All other pages are fine, only the four Routing->BGP* pages all seem to fail. OSPF/CEF are fine, as are all other pages as far as I can see.

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

Windows OS upgrade / broke connection
by McGranahan, Jamen (VU) 13 Mar '23

13 Mar '23

Good morning, We have 2 Windows servers that we upgraded from Windows 2012 to Windows 2019. Originally, I had both connected to Observium and was monitoring them, but since the upgrade, Observium is unable to connect to them and I do not know why. On the first one, I even removed it entirely from Observium but now cannot even re-add it. SNMP is running on both systems and settings are the same as what is on another Windows 2019 server that is working correctly, so I am really confused. Ideas or suggestions are welcome! (we're running Observium 23.2.12520 on a Centos 7 system, using the Observium Professional license) [Vanderbilt] Jamen McGranahan Associate Director of Library Technology & Digital Services, Vanderbilt Library Vanderbilt University 615.343.1614 | jamen.mcgranahan(a)vanderbilt.edu<mailto:jamen.mcgranahan@vanderbilt.edu> | https://www.library.vanderbilt.edu/ Central Library, 419 21st Avenue South Nashville, TN 37203 Pronouns: he/him/his [cid:image002.png@01D95589.085048A0]
