Viewing Mac addresses known on each device/vlan/port?
by Damien Gardner 26 Feb '14

26 Feb '14

Hi Folks, Sorry if this has been asked before, google wasn't helping much. Does Observium have the ability to tell me what MAC Addresses have been learnt on any given device, or preferably ports on a device? I was about to go write some php code to find a missing IPMI device via SNMP queries, and one of my coworkers suggested seeing if we can find it from Observium already?

Alert Checker if SNMP oid | Dell Power
by Guilherme de Freitas Figueiredo 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

Hi! there is some form to create some alert using a specifc SNMP oid? I say this because I'm trying to create an alert for a Dell switch in which it alarms if one of the sources of power is turned off, the SNMP oid is the SNMPv2-SMI :: enterprises.674.10895.3000.1.2.110.7.2.1.3.11 already in observium envMonSupplyState.11 is apparently the same has to be greater than 1, so I already tried the following: envMonSupplyState.11 gt 1 and SNMPv2-SMI :: enterprises.674.10895.3000.1.2.110.7.2.1.3.11 gt 1 []s! -- Guilherme de Freitas Figueiredo

Weirdness with a site with 32-bit ports
by Scott Brawner 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

I am going through the sites and I noticed that on the overview page that nothing is showing in the traffic graph for one of our sites. But when I look at the ports themselves, they are showing traffic: Then when I go into port config, I see this: It looks like it stopped showing traffic on the 5th or 6th. Any ideas?

IPMI values from server running VMWare
by Niclas Tollgård 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

Until recently I've been able to retrieve values using IPMI on my servers running ESXi. This option now seems to have been removed? It's still available for my servers running Linux but not ESXi. Any specific reason for this? Is it something I can turn back on again? I'm thinking it's a "hardware" thing and not dependant on the OS it's running. Regards, Nic

MRV LX console servers
by Rutger Bevaart 24 Feb '14

24 Feb '14

Hello list, I have a couple of MRV LX4000 console servers that I added to Observium. I do not care much about port utilisation but it is nice to know if one drops off the radar and get an alert. However, the boxes are not recognised by Observium and get this ugly question mark icon in the device list. A quick Google did not reveal anything related to these boxes and Observium, did anyone play around with adding these devices and get them recognised properly? They basically run a BusyBox Linux... Regards, Rutger

strange numbers from nortel switch
by Tom De Puysseleyr 24 Feb '14

24 Feb '14

Hi I'm trying to setup Observium to poll all of our switches, and so far I just love it. Great job guys! I hope to convince the management to subscribe soon, but for now we'll have to do with the community version. Let me try to explain my issue. I am polling a dual stack of Nortel Baystack 5510-24T switches using snmp v2c. All ports of unit 1 and ports 1 - 6 of unit 2 look fine. The graphics (bits/sec) for port 7 to 24 of unit 2 are strange though. Port 7 is not used, no device is connected to it at all. The average traffic according to the graphs is around 30Gbit/s. All other ports after port 7 show the exact same numbers. So first I tried to reset all port statistics on the switch. The graphs showed 0 bits/s for a few minutes, but then after let's say 30 minutes it shows a current bandwidth of 8Gbit/s. I tried deleting the device from Observium and added it again, but it seems that all counters are still there. When I look at the port using telnet, all counters are 0. I know that this switch is not in the supported devices list, but as far as I know the default snmp pollings should provide correct numbers for bandwidth statistics, no? Any help is greatly appreciated! Regards, Tom De Puysseleyr

Adding Bind9 stats into Observium for trending/graphing?
by Ricardo M Meleschi 23 Feb '14

23 Feb '14

Hello, I do not see a away to search the mailing list so please excuse me if this question has been asked before. I've recently (as in the last 3 or 4 days) began configuring Observium for the purpose of getting some good trending data out of my bind servers. I noticed in the demo, there is an APP drop down, and BIND is listed as one of the supported applications. I am having a difficult time figuring out how to get Observium to monitor my bind servers however. I do get LOTS of great throughput data and cpu usage so that will be very helpful. I have installed the bind9-snmp setup from bayour.com and am abe to read bind statistics using SNMP, but I have no idea how to get these values to be polled and graphed by Observium. If setting up the bind9-stats through SNMP is not the proper way to graph the bind stats, can someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks, Ricardo Meleschi

Need help getting the new alert system to send mail
by Thomas Raabo - Zitcom A/S 22 Feb '14

22 Feb '14

It never sends and i dont see anything in the email log. //Alert $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['descr'] = "Observium Email Alert"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['type'] = "email"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['contact'] = "tr(a)zitcom.dk<mailto:tr@zitcom.dk>"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['enable'] = TRUE; No emails are send on alerts So I tried to change the email backend $config['email_backend'] = 'sendmail'; That did not help. So I did a test to check the php mail module. <?php $to = "tr(a)zitcom.dk<mailto:tr@zitcom.dk>"; $subject = "Test mail"; $message = "Hello! This is a simple email message."; $from = "test(a)mgmt3.network.zitcom.dk<mailto:test@mgmt3.network.zitcom.dk>"; $headers = "From:" . $from; mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers); echo "Mail Sent."; ?> And that worked fine.

efficiency in SNMP-requests
by Botens.T＠zdf.de 21 Feb '14

21 Feb '14

Hey everyone, first of all I want to tell you, that I really like observium. It's a great tool and I really enjoy using it. There is one disadvantage, that a colleague of mine from our networking department told me. We get log-Entries in our firewall for each SNMP-request. Would it be possible to do a single SNMP request to get all Data? Is there a config setting? Or is it planned to do this? It would really help, because I had to adjust the interval to a longer time as a first measure.
