How do I get linux boxes to show up in the inventory?
by Ricardo M Meleschi 07 Apr '14

07 Apr '14

Hello again! I noticed there’s an inventory option for Observium. I’m wondering if there’s a way to get the linux boxes that are being monitored by observium into the inventory list? it’d be a nice way to keep track of things, even if I need to make manual modifications to the database. I’ve already added the serial #’s for the systems, and I was hoping that would be enough for the inventory page on observium to populate, but it wasn’t. Thanks, Ricardo

Port Properties do not work
by Marco Zberg 07 Apr '14

07 Apr '14

Hi Currently I feel stuck with an quite ordinary process, disabling of polling and alerts. Normally (on another Observium instance) we deactivate all ports with ifOperStatus=down and ifAdminStatus=down via select/update statement directy in mysql. On our affected Observium instance we have plenty of ports we do not like to poll and keep them deactivated. We have Cisco Catalyst 4507 in use, which are equipped with 400 customer ports (downstream). It is unpractical to activate them all and would overload our Observium with too may SNMP requests. We manually keep the upstream ports (10G Ethernet, Port-Channel etc.) and some specific customer ports activated. When I toggle the ports manually (yes or no) or via "Toggle All" button, it says: "Device record unchanged. No update necessary". Effectively nothing has changed and the ports are still active which should be deactivated. This problem affects the "Polling" and "Alerts" function. Maybe there is a workaround possible via manual update in the mysql DB? Currently we use Rev. 5163.

Search Bug
by Andrej Kurlovic 04 Apr '14

04 Apr '14

Good Day Observium, I noticed one bug with Observium. Let's say I have a switch with user ports. Users are come and go, so I would like to disable alerts on them for Port Down State on the main page (see screenshot) [cid:image001.png@01CF4FDE.15C3A0F0] To do that I will go to device setting page->Ports https://observium.frontline/device/device=34/tab=edit/section=ports/ and Toggle alerts to No (see screenshot) [cid:image003.png@01CF4FDE.34DDF850] As soon as I save this, port is no longer appear in the main page as intended, but what is does as well - I can't search for the port in the search bar anymore (see screenshot examples below) Before toggle alerts off (Alerts=Yes): [cid:image002.png@01CF4FDF.27FC9640] After I toggle alerts off (Alerts=No) [cid:image004.png@01CF4FDF.27FC9640] This happens instantaneously as soon as I toggle alerts to No, and when I toggle back to Yes I can search port again. Can you please advise if this is expected behaviour? Because what I want is to disable alerts for user ports, to ensure that on the main page only alerts for important ports appear, however I still want to be able to search ports (with Alerts set to NO) using search box.

Feature Request: filter by snmp system contact
by Martin Smith 04 Apr '14

04 Apr '14

Hello developers, I would like to request the ability to filter by the SysContact field. Devices and ports already have the ability to be filtered by states, speeds, media, port types and locations; I think it would be beneficial to add snmp contact as well. Mostly, I'd like to see it added to the filter header on both the devices and ports pages. [cid:image002.jpg@01CF4F2A.DE764F70] For companies who use the same system contact on all their devices this may have limited value. However, hosting providers could use the feature to filter by device ownership or local network engineer. As we often manage/monitor many devices owned by other companies. Thanks for your consideration of this request, Martin Smith | Network Analyst | Netgain 720 West Saint Germain Street | St. Cloud | MN | 56301 Phone: 320-257-6607 | 877.797.4700 x170

Great job on fixing a bug that wasn't yours to fix before I'd even told you about it :-) Hopefully Eaton will be equally efficient! Am very impressed with what I've seen so far in Observium in a week's dabbling. Am certainly contemplating taking out a subscription to stay current once I've done some more testing and added the rest of our equipment in, and ideally found some way to make it talk to the equipment that doesn't do SNMP...

strange discovery behaviour
by Bastiaan Topper 02 Apr '14

02 Apr '14

Hi, We have a few Cisco routers monitored by Observium which lose their attributes over time. When I do a manual discovery the memory/processor/ip address and BGP peers are correctly added. But over time (between minutes and hours, as you can see below) the information is removed. [cid:image001.png@01CF4D9A.03605160] Then information about BGP or processor/memory disappear. After a manual discovery of the device they are added back, but again after a while they disappear. [cid:image005.png@01CF4D9A.566ADCE0] Is this some kind of bug? Do you need any debug information from me, please let me know!? Thanks. Met vriendelijke groet, Bastiaan Topper

Device page not building correct
by A. Lantink 02 Apr '14

02 Apr '14

Hi all, Since a couple of builds i have a problem with the device page. I didn't mention it yet, since I couldn't exactly reproduce since which update the error occurred, and hoped it would go away after some other updates. But it's still here. The page is somehow not completely generated. See below the example of device=1, but all devices have the same problem. The HTML source can be viewed here: http://www.colocenter.nl/observium_device_source.txt It just stops. Running the latest SVN version(5176). The main page, and for example the ports page work fine. It's just the device page. http://www.colostats.nl/devices/ works fine, but http://www.colostats.nl/device/device=ID/ wont. Any idea's what his might be causing? Kind regards, Alexander

imbedded alert graphs missing in alert emails using outlook / gmail
by Martin Smith 01 Apr '14

01 Apr '14

Hello, I'm aware that the imbedded image problem has been discussed on here previously. I believe the final answer was "outlook sucks". Both outlook and Gmail web are unable to display the images, but my android email application works. I asked one of our support guys to take a peak and help shed some light on the matter. According to him, it might boil down to using a cid tag instead of a data tag to imbed the image. I have no idea what that means, but hopefully it will help an intelligent developer. Thanks for any and all help into this matter. I'd love to see graphs in my alerts! I've included his email below for additional details: ------ The specific image in question that is not loading is embedded as a base64 encoded image, with a data tag instead of cid tag for the source URL in the message source. Outlook uses Word for composing and displaying emails, and apparently Word does not support the method by which the png file was embedded, as it does not use a cid tag. The PNG format itself is not the issue, because I was able to acquire the original image, paste it into a new email in Outlook, and send it to myself, and it shows up just fine. Looking at the source in that scenario, the PNG source is using a cid tag. I'm uncertain how the message in question is being generated, and whether the method by which it's embedding the image can be altered, but ultimately it seems like the current method is unsupported by Outlook/Word, and I have not yet found any good fixes or workarounds, other than to change the embedding method, or to run a command in Outlook that will open the email in a web browser, which will then display the image in question.

Help with a simple email setting
by Jake Hansen 01 Apr '14

01 Apr '14

Sorry if this has been posted before but I have been trying to find it for a few hours now. I'm trying to find where the system sets the emailto field when hosts go down. Right now, when a host goes down, somehow its still emailing the old email address sometimes. I have grep -R the entire /opt/observium folder but nothing comes up. I have also tried to set the following setting to no avail $config['alerts']['email']['enable'] = TRUE; $config['alerts']['email']['default'] = "netops(a)blah.com"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['descr'] = "Default Email Alert"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['type'] = "email"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['contact'] = "netops(a)blah.com"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['enable'] = TRUE; But sometimes some of the emails(not all) will still go out to our old email address help(a)blah.com I cant for the life of me figure out how to fix it and have been scouring the observium docs to no avail. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks! -- Jake Hansen Sr. Network Administrator ZTelco / Zray Technologies, Inc. 858-431-4411 Direct 858-565-2155 Office

Dealing with "slow" hosts

Dear list, A few of our routers in the network are terribly slow in handling the complete ifEntry from IF-MIB to Observium. This results in gaps in graphs and there’s no way to speed things up because of relatively broken/slow implementations in (in this case) Brocade XMR hardware. In the past we monitored ifInOctets/ifOutOctets and a few OID’s more. The full ifEntry is too heavy. Is there a way to deal with this, like a possibility to prevent polling the whole thing and skip certain unneeded OID’s. Are there any plans to enhance the poller for this possibility of is there any (filthy) hack known to do this? Any ideas on this would be great. We would definitely want to throw Cacti to /dev/null but due to this problem it’s not yet possible. Not necessary to say this again but we are very, very happy with Observium. Thanks Adam, Mike, Tom and others.. Regards, Remco Bressers Signet BV
