Error: Blank Page - Alert Checks
by Nate Mellendorf 09 Aug '15

09 Aug '15

Good evening, everyone. I've been having some trouble with the alert checks portion of Observium for quite some time now. Whenever I click Alert Checks from the global dropdown menu, an empty white page is displayed. This was working before, and (unfortunately) I'm not certain when it stopped. I know It's not related to any recent updates, as it's been this way for a few months now. We just haven't had time to investigate it further. Example URL: http://obsevium.testing.local/alert_checks/ I've renamed the following files in hopes that it was a simple corruption issue. However, the issue still persists. $ sudo svn update && php discovery.php -u Restored 'html/pages/alert_log.inc.php' Restored 'html/pages/alert_checks.inc.php' Restored 'html/pages/alerts.inc.php' Restored 'html/pages/alert_check.inc.php' At revision 6859. -- Database is up to date. Has anyone seen this before? I'd be more than happy to provide additional debug output. Images: Thank you.

Sensor Alerts
by Andre Geißler 07 Aug '15

07 Aug '15

Hi Is there a way to calculate in Alerts Tests? I think it's better to know temperature is quite close to sensor limit than it has already reached. At the moment we are checking temperature with "|sensor_value greater @sensor_limit|" but would like to be informed a little bit earlier|.| || |I can imagine to do it like that "|||sensor_value greater @sensor_limit - 2|" or "|||sensor_value greater @sensor_limit| * 0,95"| || Andre

Hi Adam, I have an issue measuring 95 percentile interface using two different methods. If I go to the Port page for a specific interface and select a date range for example from 2015-07-01 00:00:00 to 2015-08-01 00:00:00 the 95 % for IN traffic is 563.87M Meanwhile if i take the same measure using the traffic accounting for this interface the 95% is 685M There is something I ain't understand?

County entries Google vs MapQuest and their representation on the Location menu . [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
by Peter.Hine＠familycourt.gov.au 05 Aug '15

05 Aug '15

I saw a comment in "includes/geolocation.inc.php" about sorting the difference between county and states. I was looking cause i'd like a cleaner looking location menu. so i hijacked a device on the test system and changed it's location to "10 Downing St, London SW1A 2AA, United Kingdom" I see that we have different results depending on who we ask. Geolocation (MAPQUEST) -> [51.503440, -0.127708] United Kingdom (Country), England (State), Unknown (County), London (City) Geolocation (GOOGLE) -> [51.503363, -0.127625] United Kingdom (Country), Unknown (State), Greater London (County), London (City) So a few questions. 1) Is google preferred (especially for people who have sites in a Country that has Counties). 2) Are people happy to have Counties and States on the same level in the menu. 3) Are there countries that have BOTH Counties and States or are they mutually exclusive. 4) Do people need/want the double name entries on the last location menu (two pictures attached to show the difference for what i mean). I have a simple system with ony 38 locations. People may have lots more where this has an advantage.

Question about aggregated traffic graph for Dell DRAC
by Steffie Morris 04 Aug '15

04 Aug '15

Hi, i have some Dell DRAC's added to observium, and i am seeing some strange things. The aggegrated graph from the overview page of the device gives an error "error Drawing graph". However the individual graphs per port are created just fine. the poller.php -d doesn't give any errors that i can see. Another question is probably about all the metrics received from DRAC, i have a few OSses that have the Dell ISM (Integrated Service Module) installed. This allows the NIC's from the OS to be seen in the DRAC web interface. Would observium be able to read these ports as wel? Tnx! Steffie

Qestion about VLANs tab on switch page
by Steffie Morris 04 Aug '15

04 Aug '15

Hi, i also have a question about the VLANs tab for switches. Why are a lot of switchports displayed being a member of VLAN1? because i don't think these ports are in vlan1? On the Ports page for different model switches, there are also differences. For cisco it is able to display the (untagged) vlan, but for some switch vendors it will say in text Dot1Q. Perhaps because the vendor will return a native and a untagged vlan (even if they are the same?) Just trying to understand what i am looking at, and how the interpret :)

Configuring map interface on new observium installation
by Andi Qirjazi 31 Jul '15

31 Jul '15

Hi, I have just installed & configured observium for the first time. The first two devices are added and seems working, but I'm having problem displaying these devices on the map. All the time there is a blue sign on the middle on Atlantic ocean, it doesn't matter what I configure as device location. Please any idea how to configure the map? I have tried all the possible configurations at /opt/observium/config.php settings but with no success. This installation is behind a proxy server, but I have allowed all the traffic from observium host and I don't see any traffic from this host towards proxy server. I did the following configuration on monitored devices for SNMP settings as follow: R_TR#sh run | s snmp snmp-server community aaaaaaa RO snmp-server ifindex persist snmp-server location Berlin, DE snmp-server contact bbbbbbbbbb at Observium main page, at location tab, is listed Berlin, DE (or Rome, IT another device) but no indication on the map for both devices. regarding proxy server configuration, at \opt\observium\config.php file I have the following settings: //configure proxy server settings $config['http proxy'] = "myproxy:8080"; with no username and password, because I have allowed all the traffic from observium host and it has internet access, because I did manually update and it worked normally. Please could you send me a sample of a working map configuration? I have the following configuration regarding geolocation at config.php file: // $config['frontpage']['map']['region'] = " https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gall$ $config['geocoding']['enable'] =TRUE; $config['geocoding']['dns'] = FALSE; $config['location_menu_geocoded'] = FALSE; $config['geocoding']['api'] = ' www.googleapis.com/geolocation/v1/geolocate?key=aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'; I even tried with just 'google' as API, but it doesn't change anything. thanks in advance, Andi Qirjazi
