Alert emails not working
by Aurélien PERRODY 18 Mar '15

18 Mar '15

Hi, I recently bought the full version of Observium to get alerts system. So I migrated from the CE version to full version, no problem. I edited the config.php file as well: -------------------- // Enable alerter (not available in CE) $config['poller-wrapper']['alerter'] = TRUE; // Set up a default alerter (email to a single address) $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['descr'] = "Default Email Alert"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['type'] = "email"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['contact'] = "xxx(a)xxx.com"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['enable'] = TRUE; // Configuration email (APE 2015-03-12) $config['email']['backend']= 'smtp'; $config['email']['enable'] = TRUE; $config['email']['from'] = 'xxx(a)xxx.com'; $config['email']['default'] = 'xxx(a)xxx.com'; $config['email']['default_only'] = TRUE; $config['email']['smtp_host'] = '192.168.1.29'; $config['email']['smtp_port'] = 25; $config['email']['smtp_timeout']= 10; $config['email']['smtp_secure']= NULL; $config['email']['smtp_auth']= NULL; $config['email']['smtp_username'] = NULL; $config['email']['smtp_password'] = NULL; -------------------- When I check my configuration, it works, I received the email test, no problem. ------------------- root@MEDSRV15:/home/logs# /opt/observium/test_mail.php -h MEDHPV01 No log handling enabled - turning on stderr logging /etc/snmp/snmp.conf: line 6: Warning: Unknown token: rocommunity. Observium 0.15.3.6342 Test E-mail Configuration See mail backend options here: http://www.observium.org/wiki/Configuration_Options#Email_backend_settings My Hostname: MEDSRV15.xxxx.xxxxx E-mails ENABLED globally ($config['email']['enable']) E-mails use SMTP backend ($config['email']['backend']) smtp host: [192.168.1.29] smtp port: [25] smtp timeout: [10] smtp auth: [FALSE] E-mails send only to default email ($config['email']['default_only']) E-mails use these default recipient(s) ($config['email']['default']): xxxx(a)xxxxx.com E-mails send from ($config['email']['from']): xxxxx(a)xxxxxx.com E-mails send to recipients based on default recipient from config and/or device sysContact. Try send test notification for medhpv01 to these email(s): xxxxx(a)xxxxx.com EMAILING Notification for medhpv01 SENT. ------------------- Then I created a classic alert checker, when devices are down. -Conditions: device_status eq 0 -Device match * entity match * Alerts on the webpage works correctly, but I did not receive an alert email. So Y U NO WORK OBSERVIUM?? :) I read the wiki but don't see my pb... Many thanks for helping.

by Gert-Jan de Boer 16 Mar '15

16 Mar '15

Hi, A while ago I posted this patch to Jira, after some brief discussion I didn't hear back about it. I would like to add some more notification backends (for example Slack integration), is there any reason why this would not be accepted? The patch is under http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBSERVIUM-1194 Kind regards, GJ

MySQL/Apache apps

Hi We have just installed Observium from SVN, added some hosts, and almost everything seems to work fine. We have some MySQL servers, and followed the instructions to get the graphs. Running observium_agent in the MySQL server, I get the <<<mysql>>> section. Doing telnet to the MySQL server from the Observium server, to the agent port, I get the same section, but I don't get any data in the device page. Any advice? The same happens with the Apache servers. Regards.

by Tshering DHENDUP 14 Mar '15

14 Mar '15

Dear Team, We are trying to add private IP address to the observium. Our picture: the observium server is having a private IP address tho' NATed to a public ip address. I am trying to add the private IP( of a switch/router), and it gives me the following error Try to add 192.168.128.1: Could not resolve 192.168.128.1. Devices skipped: 1. Does this mean that, the devices can't be added using their IP? Or should the IP be DNS mapped( resolvable )?

Munin Alerts.
by Dudu 11 Mar '15

11 Mar '15

Hi All, I have successfully moved a munin under Observium which is very good. One thing that a little bit difficult for me is understanding the alerts part. All the alert examples are reasonable but how would I know if it's possible to alert on Munin Data or other things for example a faulty power supply. Can we alert based on Munin data? Thank you all David

Thank You. I do agree with you that an IPMI does add a lot of things but I found that the agent+IPMI check provide even more info, One thing that I don't if possible is actually creating an alarm while there is a hardware failure, With Idrac snmp you can do that with one snmpwalk command.

Hi All, I just bought a subscription and I'm very pleased with the product. While I started to add devices I asked my self why not adding the Dell Idrac? So I did add it but all I can see is a network stuff maybe I'm missing something. The most important part of the IDRAC 7 and above is the led status of the server if the led is amber there is a hardware issue. Bellow is the OID Many Thanks query that will get overall system health, they would need to query the iDRAC7 SNMP systemLCDStatus OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX ObjectStatusEnum ACCESS read-only STATUS mandatory DESCRIPTION This attribute defines the system status as it is reflected by the LCD front panel.

Not displaying temp and fan data from Cisco ASA
by Peter Loron 09 Mar '15

09 Mar '15

Hello. We're running (for now, planning to get paid) Observium CE 0.14.11.6000. I have 3 Cisco ASA firewalls v9.2(2)4. Most of the data is coming in properly from them, but I'm not getting correct data for the fan speeds and temps. The temp graphs all show 0.0C for the temps. No lines in the graphs, etc. The fan speed graphs have a line that _looks_ like real data, but the legend says "0rpm", and the value axis has numbers like "1.0 z", "2.0 z", etc. Any suggestions or pointers? Thanks. -Pete

Dear sirs, I tried on Wednesday to subscribe to Observium for one years for 150 £ and when I validate to pay I got an error message. Few minutes spent before I validate the payment and it can explain a time out on your web site but when I tried again to login to retry, the price was changed?! Now it is 180 £ instead of 150 £, I do not want to pay 30 £ more than before!!!! Can you tell me why the price has changes ? Can you help me to subscribe with the price that was given first when I start my subscription ? Thanks in advance for your help. Best Regards, [ERIC MASSON]
