I'm no expert on this but maybe because you set default_only to true in the config?

SYSLOG Issues
by Sandy Millar 30 Aug '15

30 Aug '15

All I am having two issues with syslog, and wonder if someone could give me some guidance. Firstly, syslog filters seems a little inconsistent, for example:- This works - $config['syslog']['filter'][] = 'Cannot statfs /run/user/1000/gvfs'; This doesn’t - $config['syslog']['filter'][] = 'PERMISSION'; Unfortunately, the custom filters I need don’t work, any thoughts? And secondly, Observium appears to randomly stop reporting syslog records from clients. I have followed some of the suggestions from the mail list and determined that the missing records do appear in the debug.log but not in the console, and I am at a loss where else to look. I am using Syslog-NG, which to the best of my knowledge is correctly configured, and Observium CE 0.15.6430. Thanks in advance Kind regards Sandy Millar

Groups based on VLANs
by Anders Johansson 30 Aug '15

30 Aug '15

Hi, I want to track a patricidal VLAN and their ports on a bunch of switches, tough that the Group function in Observium could do that for me :) However I can't find any reference to VLAN, tried to use "ifVlan" but not sure that works, or I didn't do that part correctly. The purpose is to track an internet facing vlan to easy see port graphs and to be able to create alerts from these. //Anders

Hello, I'm sure this is quite simple, but how do I send the alerts listed in the eventlog straight to email as they are listed. https://<observium-server>/eventlog/ So as they come through, they are send immediately to an email address. Thanks ! Ross.

alternative to svn update
by Samarasinghe, Sujith 24 Aug '15

24 Aug '15

Hi , I was trying to update to latest version but our firewall does not allow svn as protocol. I downloaded the latest stable version using wget instead and tried to locate new folder under /opt/. I got permission denied error on /discovery.php -u Is there a better way to upgrade than this risky method if SVN is not an option? Thanks, Sujith.

"Monitoring" Linux Softraid State?
by Richard Müller 23 Aug '15

23 Aug '15

Hy *, I just noticed that observium_agent returns a <<<md>>> section: 1.) Question: is there actual a way of monitoring the state of linux softraid devices in Observium, I just do not know? Documentation / google is quite silent about this question. :-) 2.) If no, how can this be implemented? Idea #1: Introduce a “(red|yellow) Alarm” state even for Unix devices, as most common network devices have. So this technique can be also used for different kinds of alarms (Raid, Network, ECC, …) a. Yellow Alarm: Raid degraded b. Red Alarm: Raid broken :-) Idea #2: Is this something, which can be implemented “outside Observium” (e.g. by some “geniuos” snmpd-configuration lines in snmpd.conf) and Observium just uses the normal “(yellow|red) Alarm” way, which is already implemented?

Hello Observium team, I would like to know how much effort would it be to add the ability to drag a timeline across a graph which will then automatically adjust the date/time range to that section of the graph? Regards, Rudolf
