Alerts

Hi Guys, We seem to be getting alerts for ignored ports. This seems to happen when port was ignored after an alert check has been created, to fix this we have to delete and re-create alert check each time port needs to be ignored. Any chance this can happen automatically?

Override IfAlias
by Jarno Tensen 01 Sep '15

01 Sep '15

Hi all, Does anyone know how to override the ‘ifAlias’ setting? Just like the ‘sysLocation’? We have a lot of network devices which are not able to give a port description, what is very annoying cause we have to go physical to a switch to find out which device is behind the port. I know a lot of settings can be configured in config.php, does anyone know a configline to manual setup a portdescription (ifAlias)? Many thanks in advance!

Guys, I have checked the guides however Not seeing how to configure CPU alerting based on multiple CORE CPU's. We have quite a number of windows virtual machines with 2 - 16+ cores and currently use "processor_usage greater 65" however this is alerting when a single core reaches >65% What is the best way to manage this?

Introduction, polling time questions, other bits
by Aaron Finney 01 Sep '15

01 Sep '15

Hello, We've just started a POC project to determine if Observium is a good fit for our environment, and so far have been very pleased with the feature-richness and general usability of the entire system. In fact, we've discovered several things in our environment that were immediately addressable. Cheers! One thing that's been a head-scratcher for us so far is the length of the polling time for our Juniper switches...anywhere from ~2 mins for a 48 port EX ToR switch, to 8 minutes for a two-member QFX aggregate switch. It's the port polling that's so costly according to the output of the poller script, around 450 seconds on the QFXs. I've tried some basic troubleshooting...disabling MAC accounting, disabling all ports for polling/alerting, etc...but it hasn't helped. Is there something simple I'm missing in the config that's causing it to bog down on the port module? Aside from the time, it's not hurting the QFXs, but our poor EX4500s sometimes spike to 90% CPU during polling. For context, the Observium POC system is located in the same datacenter as the devices we're polling against, and the QFXs are 96 port 5ks, with uplinks to our EX ToR switches. Any ideas/suggestions you have would be much appreciated! Also, I did add support for Baytech PDUs; if there's interest, I'd be happy to provide the code. Aaron

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

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

Guys, Only new to Observium and it's a great product! Setting up the email alerts and testing from the cli works perfectly however automated alerts configured via the interface do not send. The alerts trigger in the interface and the contact groups are configured.

Re: [Observium] help creating alerts

Hi Adam, I found the wiki page to make perfect sense after looking at some examples. I just visited the pages and since the wiki migration - your examples did not pull through - they used to be right at the bottom of the alert creation page? http://www.observium.org/docs/alert_checker/ Alert Checker Exmaples is blank?

Ok I think i follow you.. But isn't it a little redudant to have Entity? I mean with the alert im trying to make im looking at specifik storage usages. Wouldn't it go without saying the entity im looking at is the disks? my condition is storage_perc and so i don't see the point in also specifying harddisk in the association entity? I have made my alert this way now.. is this correct? will it work? Check condition: storage_perc gt 90 Associations device match: * Associations Entity match: * [cid:2f142fd126995f0abe51494e79dd177a1fdf9d8e@zimbra] ________________________________ Fra: "Adam Armstrong" <adama(a)memetic.org<mailto:adama@memetic.org>> Til: observium(a)observium.org<mailto:observium@observium.org> Sendt: onsdag, 26. august 2015 18:51:19 Emne: Re: [Observium] help creating alerts Hi, The entity match is the same as the device match, but for the entity (port, memory pool, etc), rather than the device. If you want to match all devices, you put * in the device box. If you want to match all ports for a port entity type alert, you put * in the entity box. If you want to only match ethernet ports on a port alert, you put "ifType eq ethernetCsmacd" in the entity box. adam.

For that i used the storage_perc alert and created the alert like this: Check condition: storage_perc gt 90 Associations device match: os match * Associations Entity match: storage_perc match * Now the example i found in the documentation was here: http://observium.org/docs/alert_checker/ and was for mempool_perc. Now i know my storage exampel doesn't use the same entity match but thats because i don't understand what that is? My logics behind my alert is like this. Check condition see if storage usages reach 90% or more. Association device is to set what devices in observium should be hit by this alert. I set mine to os match wildcard beacuse i want all device to be hit by this alert. Association Entity im not sure i fully understand? Any help would be apriciated... and please .. i rather be taught to fish then be given a fish :) if you know what i mean :) [cid:032bfadfb691db9ba6d7226f2b32b09de5c402ab@zimbra] _______________________________________________ observium mailing list observium(a)observium.org<mailto:observium@observium.org> http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium
