Re: [Observium] junos logical sub interface state
by Zhenhui Liang 17 Dec '14

17 Dec '14

Ok, I added ifDescr !match *.* In the condition, seems working. Although I don¹t feel that clean about it. I would like to only care about physical interface, not logical. But I tried all snmp mibs in the mib list, none of them I found tell you it¹s a logical interface. So I rely on the pattern *dot* in junos to indicate a logical port.

Example alert checkers, and background information
by Moerman, Maarten 16 Dec '14

16 Dec '14

Hey Guys, I had some spare time, and decided to write up some more documentation on alert-checkers for observium, and provide a whole bunch of example alerts which could be adapted for your use: Document: http://www.maartenmoerman.nl/?p=612 I have provided examples for: - Device down - Processor usage is above 80% - Memory usage is above 70% - State sensor is in ALERT state! - Fanspeed is above or under treshold - Traffic exceeds 85% - BGP Session down - Storage exceeds 85% of disk capacity - Port has encountered errors or discards - Port is enabled, but operationally down Let me know if this is helpful and what you'd like to see added/improved.

TEXT/BLOB fields in MySQL
by Eduardo Schoedler 16 Dec '14

Hi, Any chance to change text/blob fields to another type in MySQL? # ./tuning-primer.sh TEMP TABLES Current max_heap_table_size = 512 M Current tmp_table_size = 512 M Of 17956 temp tables, 29% were created on disk Perhaps you should increase your tmp_table_size and/or max_heap_table_size to reduce the number of disk-based temporary tables *Note! BLOB and TEXT columns are not allow in memory tables.If you are using these columns raising these values might not impact yourratio of on disk temp tables.* Thanks. -- Eduardo Schoedler

Re: [Observium] Billing per VM host
by Ron Marosko, Jr. 16 Dec '14

16 Dec '14

I think it does. ;-) Meaning, yes, it graphs the 1000v just like it were any other switch. Thus, make sure you have all your "description" entries defined in the interfaces before you discover the device. And the vEth port does not change when the VM gets vmotioned from one host to another, so stats are consistent.

Re: [Observium] Billing per VM host
by Ron Marosko, Jr. 16 Dec '14

16 Dec '14

I'm running the Cisco freemium version of the Nexus 1000v virtual switch on my ESXi 4.1 boxen, mainly because I needed LACP uplink capability, which was not available in the vSwitch. Then I discovered that you can get SNMP stats on a per-vEthernet port (meaning per host!) from the 1000v. Sweet! The poller takes a bit longer to run on the 1000v, just like it does on all other Nexus products, but well worth having the information. And yes, you can set up traffic accounting based on the polled information. ...Ron Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE DROID Xavier Beaudouin <xavier.beaudouin(a)hsoftware.com> wrote: >Hi, > >> Are there any plans to include billing per VM host in Observium?.

Progressive search and wrong answers
by Kilian Krause 16 Dec '14

16 Dec '14

Hi, since the progressive search seems to start right away and for some reason our setup is too slow/too large to get instant SQL replies the answers seem to be dropping in as the SQL server finishes and them the client will render them as soon as it receives them. This unfortunately gives answers for shorter strings later even if the search field already does seem to be filled with a longer query string. Is there anyone who has implemented some JS/AJAX fix for this and ensure the answers processed by the client are only those matching the current search string (i.e. add a "static" version/revision/serial field into the SQL select and check for that in the results)?

Vlan Interface Usage Alert
by Chip Pleasants 16 Dec '14

16 Dec '14

Hi All, We created a Alert Checker for interface usage greater than 80%. We are seeing interface usage alerts for Vlan SVI interfaces. These don't mean as much to us as physical interfaces do. Looks like the default bandwidth on a Vlan SVI interface is 1G on our platform. Is there any way we can configure Observium not alert on vlan interfaces? Our Device Match is "os equals ios" and our Entity Match is "*" for the interface usage alerts. I see ifType is an attribute option. Could I do something like "not ifType vlan"? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks, -Chip

Override Network Location
by Robert Hatch 16 Dec '14

16 Dec '14

Dear all, I have noticed that when I override the network location with a site name Observium does not appear to apply the same location details that are defined in the config.php. This means that for a site such as HEX we have two locations in the drop down menu one as unknown->HEX for the overridden device and another with the proper location that is being pulled out of the config.php. Is this desired behaviour or a bug? BW rob

What you're looking for is a netflow analyser. There are plenty of free tools you can use and I believe one is crudely integrated with observium. You're better off with a separate product though.

Is it configurable? Also how often does it check for a triggered alert? Every 10 mins etc?? Is this also configurable ? Thanks, Darian Sent from my iPhone

Device location not updated in database (already fixed?)

Hi Observium developers, I just found out that when i changed the snmp location of a device it is not changed in the database.

Adam, good afternoon! I have a question: what happens after the license expires. For example, buy a license, which is valid for one year. What happens after that first year? We only stayed without updates or the system stops working? Do you have a license without time limit? Is there any way to achieve this? Thank you.
