Observium boucing on ifalias
by Raphael Maunier 25 Sep '15

25 Sep '15

Hi there, We have a strange issue with the ifalias. We have one Juniper EX4550 with multiple customers on it. There was a bad character in the description : description "Cust: [FIBRE] {XXX} Paris - Zayo Cid:XXXXX Cable:R03110-fo-9-10�”; Observium was bouncing on the if desc. As soon as I change it, no bouncing . Not sure if it’s a bug report, but I just share it here :) Best, Raphael

Graphing sum total of Current and Power
by Andrew Plas 24 Sep '15

24 Sep '15

Would it be possible to add a Total Graph for specific Heath statistics, similar to how the total graphs are displayed for Peering, Transit, and Core port types? What I am interested in is essentially adding values already collected by Observium from a handful of devices (rack PDU's) to determine the combined Current in amps and Power in watts to graph and track power consumption across an entire row or even datacenter. We can see this information per-rack from the PDU device already added to Observium, but for our datacenter managers it would be useful to track power consumption across the whole room or suite. In several of our POPs power is provided so we cannot poll the UPS itself- only our own rack PDUs connected to the facility's power bus. Even then, most have A and B side power so we have two PDUs per rack. To the end, I have created a device group by sensor sorting "pdu" device names and filtering for their output values. However, the built-in aggregate graphs show each device's data on one graph and doesn't combine them for a total. Further, my filter seems to pull many values labeled "Output" including voltage and amperage as well as wattage. Any suggestions to refine my filter to get one group for Amps and another for Watts? Please see the screenshots below. Most PDU's are APC model AP8941. I admit this would really only be useful for the "Power" and "Current" health monitors, as items like voltage and temperature are really only useful per-device. Even then, these total graphs would have the most value being filtered to a specific set of devices and likely by location. Maybe a total graph display under /groups may be more useful than one under /health/metric=power or /health/metric=current? Thank you! https://observium/group/group_id=6/ https://observium/group/group_id=6/view=basic/agg_graph=graph/

Alert notification
by Ondrej Beran 24 Sep '15

24 Sep '15

Hello, today I have updated version 6531 to 7038 and I still receive the same alert notification every 5 minute. Is it possible to change this notification to receive this alert only once when the service is down and than when it is renewed, not repeatedly ? defaults.inc.php $config['alerts']['interval'] = '31536000'; // How frequently to re-send a notification for a continuing alert condition // In seconds. Default is 1 day. Thank you Ondrej

Hopefully this is a newer feature, otherwise I totally overlooked this over the past year! [cid:ACFFBBBC-9380-48CA-9824-300B0B1F51C2] Is there a way to customize these connect commands? We have different usernames for our switches and linux boxes than the username that we log into Observium.

Disabling polling on large number of ports
by AJ Schroeder 18 Sep '15

18 Sep '15

Hello list, I have just added a bunch of our end user access switches to Observium (thanks to the devs adding Nortel support!). Anyway, I don't want to be alerted or notified if those particular ports go up or down. The only way I know how to stop alerting on ports is to toggle the alerts field in the ports properties of the specific device. However, whenever I select all the ports on a device that has a large number of ports (over 300) all the ports show that they are toggled to off, then I click save. When the page refreshes I only see about two-thirds of them are toggled off, the rest of them are still set to poll or alert. When I manually toggle some ports and click save, the setting doesn't save. Any help or insight on this would be appreciated. AJ Schroeder

added a HP server over snmp
by Casper Allerslev Jensen 18 Sep '15

18 Sep '15

Hi all, I have just added a HP server. added SNMP and set it up. The server connected fine to observium. Now i see Observium has support for HP but the data im getting is pretty mandatory server stuff so im wondering what the HP support is added? or did i do it wrong? As an example i was hoping to get some RAID info on the RAID 1 running on the server with the controller that was shipped. But all i see is C:\ which won't alert me if a disk fail.

are page counts possible on a per user basis (in adressbook) of a Ricoh / Aficio MP c305 printer?
by ecaroh 17 Sep '15

17 Sep '15

We got an Aficio MP C305 Printer where we want to get a monthly automated report of printed pages (bw/color) based on a per user basis (addressbook / print code) to make a print accounting possible. We still can count total numbers (also of all in one types like fax, copy, print and divided in colour/bw counts), but no counts on a per user basis. Does anybody knows whether it is generally possible to have per user counts (based on printer addressbook and user print code) and if so is there an oid? We do not need that functionality directly in observium… cause this is not monitoring but reporting, but it would be nice to get them via snmp automated monthly. Thanks in advance. ecaroh — sample for known oids for getting overall general counters. ## AFICO PAGECOUNTERS OIDDEVTOTAL="SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.367.3.2.1.2.19.5.1.9.1" OIDCOPYSW="SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.367.3.2.1.2.19.5.1.9.3" OIDCOPYCL="SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.367.3.2.1.2.19.5.1.9.5" OIDPRTSW="SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.367.3.2.1.2.19.5.1.9.9" OIDPRTCL="SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.367.3.2.1.2.19.5.1.9.11" OIDFAXSW="SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.367.3.2.1.2.19.5.1.9.6" PRINTER="aio.office-factory.net“ after getting counters we make calculations with difference between now and the day before.
