That page is how it is, you cant remove things from it because its showing state. Rebooted information goes away after 24 hours. Its actually showing you devices with uptime below 24 hours. Adam.

separate diskio graphs for different devices
by Mihai - Cristian Satmarean 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

Hi all, is it possible to have a separate graph for each entity in the DiskIO? Scenario is that we try to monitor ZFS server and there are over 200 Filesystems that are shown on top of each other making the graph impossible to use. Thanks!

Adding a custom OID ?
by Mihai Tanasescu 30 Sep '13

30 Sep '13

Hello, I'm a newbie with Observium having just installed it, but now a question has popped up in my head that I could not find a clear answer to by googling. I have a couple of Linux hosts for which I also added in the net-snmpd conf a counter for the number of imapd & others processes. How could I add to a small part of the existing graphed servers, this OID ? (or where should I look in the conf ?) I was thinking maybe defining a new template (if this is the working principle) and adding there these OIDs also for the discovery phase. Can someone advise me at least where to start my question with ? I'm a bit confused at the moment. Thanks, Mihai

Aggregate Graphing?
by Luis Quintana 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

I was looking at the graphing off of the main page, where you select All Devices, then Bits, and had a quick question about this. I assume this is an aggregate of all interfaces being displayed. What I am curious to know is if the graphs show interfaces that are "technically" duplicates? For example, a straight interface on a juniper device can be ge-1/0/0, but because there is a unit attached to the interface, sort of like a sub-interface, ge-1/0/0.0 shows up as well. The problem here is, its the same statistics for both of the interfaces, in this example. So, if the aggregate graph is looking at all interfaces and includes both in the aggregate graph, well than the aggregate is not correct? Not sure if I explained it correctly, and if not, please let me know. What i am getting at is, it seems as though there is duplicate information being aggregated so the graphs is not accurate, from what it looks like. Thoughts?

Problems after sync to 4532
by Andrew Hunstiger 26 Sep '13

26 Sep '13

Sorry if this is the wrong channel to send this to. Not sure what happened, but after syncing to the latest version the web portal seems to be broken. Checking the logs the poller is still working, I just can't access the web page any more. Checking the error logs the only two events that keep popping up when I try to load the page are: [Wed Sep 25 09:29:53 2013] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_SL in /opt/observium/html/index.php on line 212 [Wed Sep 25 09:52:04 2013] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_SL in /opt/observium/html/index.php on line 215 Line 212 points to the start of what I pasted in below. The only part that stood out to me (I honestly have no idea what I am doing, just trying to troubleshoot) is what I highlighted below: { // Warn about lack of mcrypt unless told not to. <<<<<<< .mine <<<<<<< .mine <<<<<<< .mine if($config['login_remember_me'] = FALSE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) ======= if($config['login_remember_me'] == TRUE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) ======= if($config['login_remember_me'] = TRUE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) ======= if($config['login_remember_me'] == TRUE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) >>>>>>> .r4532 >>>>>>> .r4471 >>>>>>> .r4532 { print_error('Observium now requires mcrypt to be installed for use by the "remember me" function.

".inc.php"); } else { if (isset($config['front_page']) && is_file($config['front_page'])) { include($config['front_page']); } else { include("pages/front/default.php"); } } } } Once I commented those lines out, the page was able to load without any problems. // <<<<<<< .mine // <<<<<<< .mine // <<<<<<< .mine if($config['login_remember_me'] = FALSE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) // ======= if($config['login_remember_me'] == TRUE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) // ======= if($config['login_remember_me'] = TRUE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) // ======= if($config['login_remember_me'] == TRUE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) // >>>>>>> .r4532 // >>>>>>> .r4471 // >>>>>>> .r4532 Also, once I did the sync, there was an error (wish I wrote it down first) when running the "./discovery.php -h none" command.

Re: [Observium] notify

on that note, when considering thresholds in the alert system, one desirable feature may be to trigger on 'zero' as well as some upper bound. i.e., my demarc might be just fine, but if somebody stops sending me traffic on a provisioned link, release the hounds!

SQL query instead of port detail

hi. I just installed another instance ob observium. While my first one is working like a charm (installed 6 weeks ago) this one has a strange behaviour. For example: When I click on a device and then click on the showed graph I do net get the port details with more detailed RRD graph (where you can changes the range with time and date). Instead only a SQL query is showed :( Any ideas what causes the issue? best, Wolfgang

Polling Intervals
by Robbie Wright 24 Sep '13

24 Sep '13

So we're relatively new to Observium and hacking out way through getting it integrated and tested in our environment. One common thing (that we can't find in the faq's or documentation) other tools use is the ability to change polling intervals. On our edge firewall, we might want one minute queries while on SAN volumes we might want 30 minute disk checks. Is there any way to adjust that per device/device type/globally?

Disable auto adding ports on Mikrotik PPPoE Server
by Petar Janev 24 Sep '13

24 Sep '13

Hi I have two Mikrotik PPPoE Servers added to Observium and it constantly adding new ports as users get connected with PPPoE ports, and then deleted as user disconnects. After some time a lot of ports appear in Deleted Port, that I need to manually delete them, and also disk space grows as new rrd's gets created. I tried adding "bad_if" in config file but without success, because this interfaces don't have description. Also is there any way to permanently delete this previously added port from database and rrd folder. Thanks, Petar Janev

macsuck CAM tables?
by Joel Krauska 24 Sep '13

24 Sep '13

I would love to see a Mac Address forwarding table grab in observium for L2 devices. Maybe it's already there, but I couldn't find it. In NetDisco, this feature is implemented using the 'macsuck' tool. *http://www.netdisco.org/readme.html#glossary* I've implemented it before in sloppy perl using the Bridge mib. * http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk648/tk362/technologies_tech_note09186a008… * The gist for collection is: - determine the list of active vlans - for each vlan get a list of mac addresses per 'bridge port' - lookup a translation of bridgeport to ifindex If you correlate this data with a global ARP table and DNS, you get a killer feature. "Lookup the switch port where a given host was last seen. (and hopefully where it still is)" Because this can be a pretty dynamic dataset, you'll also probably want to maintain the list by putting a last seen datestamp and rolling out old entries. I think I've found a few hints at some development interest in the past about this sort of feature. Has it gotten any traction? Cheers, Joel
