Alert dependency
by Toky ANDRIANASOLO 09 Feb '22

09 Feb '22

Hello, Is it possible to set an alert dependency on observium? for example if there are 04 devices on the network: 01 router and 03 cascading switches.. If the router goes down, we do not need the 03 switches sending an alert anymore as they depends on the router. This will save us from flooding alert and make the alerting system more efficient. Thank You and Regards, Toky,

alert sensibility setting
by Toky ANDRIANASOLO 09 Feb '22

09 Feb '22

Hello, we are setting an alert based on device status metric, so if the device status is 0 (down), an alert will be sent to a group of mail destination.. Now we want to adjust the alert sensibility of observium in order to sent the mail if the device is down for 10 mn, in other words, if the device is down then up after 8mn for example, we don't want to be alerted. Thank you and Regads, Toky

poller overwrites manual sensor limits
by Joey Stanford 05 Feb '22

05 Feb '22

Hi, We’ve disabled service discovery in order to zero in on why custom sensor limits are being overwritten. As far as we can ascertain, it appears that the poller is doing this but we’re not sure when/how since it doesn’t reset on every poll. It’s so transient that we’re finding it very difficult to identify the actual culprit. Can anyone offer tips on how we can debug this further? Thanks, Joey

Sending device status to external status page
by Joey Stanford 30 Jan '22

30 Jan '22

Hi, Ideas wanted. As a service provider, I want to expose basic up/down status to my consumers, So they can self-discover if a portion of the network in their area is affected. In my case, I have emergency communication systems and I would love to make some of these visible in an up/down fashion to people. A status page or uptime robot basic presentation. Any ideas on how I might do this? Joey

All graphs stopped at Jan 1st 00:00
by Richard Waardijk 26 Jan '22

26 Jan '22

Hi, I did not notice it earlier but somehow all graphs stopped on Jan 1st 00:00 ? Doesn't matter for which device I look or at what type of graph. The graphs look like this: [cid:image003.png@01D81120.552DF310] [cid:image004.png@01D81120.552DF310] Does anyone have seen this before? I haven't made changes to the Observium installation recently. I only updated the OS where Observium is running (was running on an old Ubuntu 16.02 version and is now upgrades to Ubuntu 20.04). But that was done in week 50 (the week of Dec 13th) and after that the graphs still worked. So strange that it exactly stopped at midnight of the new year? [cid:image005.png@01D81120.552DF310] If anybody got tips how to get this working again please let me know. Thank you, Richard

graphs shows peaks huawei S6700

Hello I'm using Observium latest version. Most of the grapsh for interfaces are pretty good. But for 2 Huaweis switches S6730, the collected data appears kind of 'saw': Same device, polled with a Cacti server, shows this way: A few 'spikes' but far more smooth graph. The polling time is between 10 to 13 seconds, CPU ok, memory too. Can someone have an idea what to do to avoid the spikes? Regards -- Saludos Saludos, * Ing. Andrés E.

Hi I've been having an issue with the number of devices per location not being correct when displayed on the Dashboard Map. A few of our sites have the correct count, but most do not. From the list view everything is ok. The devices accessible and are set to a location that is geolocating to coordinates, but it's like they're not being counted properly. Thanks Tony

Arista VARP IP addresses not being discovered?
by Adam Thompson 31 Dec '21

31 Dec '21

We’ve noticed that although Observium picks up the VRRPv3 virtual IP addresses on our Cisco NX-OS switches, it does not detect or capture the VARP virtual IP addresses on our Arista EOS switches. Is that expected behaviour? If so, what information do you need to change Observium so that it can detect VARP IPs and display them on the appropriate interfaces? If not, what debug output should I be looking at – discovery? Polling? Which section? Thanks, -Adam Adam Thompson Consultant, Infrastructure Services [MERLIN] 100 - 135 Innovation Drive Winnipeg, MB, R3T 6A8 (204) 977-6824 or 1-800-430-6404 (MB only) athompson(a)merlin.mb.ca<mailto:athompson@merlin.mb.ca> www.merlin.mb.ca<http://www.merlin.mb.ca/>

Alerting feature request
by Joey Stanford 30 Dec '21

30 Dec '21

From my colleagues: > > What we would REALLY like is the ability to turn off alerts on a particular device for a specified amount of time. For example, when Winter Park goes flakey but it is really Comcast or Centurylink that need to fix the problem, I don't want alerts every 10 minutes to tell me the link still sucks. > > There are several possible solutions to this. One is a manual "suppress alerts for X hours". It is important that the alerts be turned back on after the specified time because otherwise we tend to forget to turn it back on. > > Another option is a rate limit on alerts by device. After 5 alerts I probably figured out the link sucks. > > A third option is a "delay on recover". Right now we get a recover as soon as one check passes. If it is flakey we may want to have more checks pass before declaring it recovered. This would probably be something we want to do by device, because from most I want to know as soon as it is back.

When we add the equipments in observium , it's show "generical" device. We asked Huawei about thi4e case and Huawei told us if the "current regular mib" had the OIDs for ETP4860. We try to make observium discoveries about the correct type "power" and vendor "huawei" to get the power information, like load, AC entry, baterya load, and so on... We was fight with this equipment more 1 year and can't make running =( We flap the "loss flag" and ask for help for anyone who can help us.

syslog issues
by Brad Bendy 22 Dec '21

22 Dec '21

Spent hours on this and am at a loss. Got some hosts that won't have syslog show up in the GUI, digging further the DB shows the IP not the hostname for those records, so that makes sense why they are not showing up. Looking at the actual data coming over syslog the devices that work and don't work show the exact same format. Nothing different at all, and identical configs on identical devices. Is there a debug or another log that I am not seeing that would show why these entries are getting inserted into the DB as IP addresses and not being replaced with hostnames? At a loss, any suggestions would be great! Thanks
