Graphics issue
by David Torres 29 May '13

29 May '13

Hi all, I've been using observium a while ago and since the beginning the tool showed me the graphics like I show you in the attached picture. There are several "white spaces" marked on the time period (X axis), where the tools is not showing information. I read the FAQs section and I found this advice: "I'm getting a blank browser window on some pages, but not others", so I incremented the PHP memory parameter from 128M to 384M whithin the php.ini file but this did not work either so I come to you beggin your advice in order to resolve this problem. Besides I have 90 network equipments monitored with the observium application on a virtual server (6 GB of ram and 3 CPUs 3.0 Ghz). thank you so much for any help Regards

Manually fix bogus RRD data?
by Alex Pressé 28 May '13

28 May '13

I have a router which was running glorious cisco code with a marvelous bug where the number of active ipsec tunnels kept increasing until I put a better IOS on it. So now I have a graph where the ipsec tunnels shoots to tens of thousands of ipsec tunnels, making the long term views pointless. Is there some easy way I can loop through a date range or similar and set the number of ipsec tunnels to some other number (like 10 instead of 22,000)? -- Alex Presse "How much net work could a network work if a network could net work?"

hpasm - temperatures, voltage and fans in Observium
by Niklas Larsson 27 May '13

27 May '13

Hi, we have a couple of HP Proliant DL360/380 servers that has hpasm installed, I can get data from: snmpwalk -c public -v2c -M /opt/observium/mibs host.example.com 1.3.6.1.4.1.232 ( http://pastebin.com/JvsNVMhY ) The question is if Observium has support for hpasm? We are really happy with the supermicro support and are hoping that we could get the same information from the HP as well. /niklas

How to completely remove a device
by Lasse Leegaard 26 May '13

26 May '13

Hey, I have decomissioned a FreeBSD server and then wanted to remove it from observium. I would assume that clikcing on the "delete device" button would do the trick, but alas I still see the server on my device list. I have also tried editing the device and deleting it from there to no effect - it says it isn't there any more. Do I need to remove it and all data concerning it manually from the database and is there an easy way to do that? -Lasse-

New user - Few questions
by Simon Mott 25 May '13

25 May '13

Hi all im pretty new to observium but i am loving how easy it is to use so far! I have a couple of minor issues though 1) i have added two servers that are configured almost identically and observium has only picked up the lm-sensors info for one of them - is there a way i can force it to get this info from the second server? 2) On the note of lm-sensors - Observium is parsing the output of lm-sensors and treating the threshold values as actual sensors - can i make it just outright not graph these whilst keeping the actual sensor data? 3) I have a windows server added to observium and i am getting a load of ports that i dont care about - same question as above - can i make observium ignore these ports and not even list them/try to graph them? 4) i have unix agent installed on a server exposing hddtemp data but sometimes when observium polls it doesnt detect all hard disks or sometimes none at all (whilst at the same time i confirm hddtemp is working as expected and showing all disks) Any ideas whats causing this? Thanks

A couple questions..
by Jason Lixfeld 24 May '13

24 May '13

Hi, Is it possible to change the default ports display for a device from Basic to Details? Also, can I filter the display only to show interfaces that match a certain criteria. ie: Admin = Up, Oper = Up, Type = Ethernet or L2 VLAN (802.1q) or IEEE 803.2ad Link Agg? I find that the default display shows a lot of stuff for interfaces that I'm not particularly interested in, so I'd like to be able to clean that up. I know I can toggle polling on a per-device basis, but I'm hoping there's a method that is a little more dynamic than that. Thanks in advance.

Billing Graph Legend

Adam, I may be stupid but… In the legend for the interfaces there is Current Average and Maximum. At the bottom under the interfaces there are two Total rows with four columns. What actually are the four columns? Regards, Adam

Canon printers
by Matthew Coene 23 May '13

Good afternoon anyone... Was just curious as to whether anyone has had any luck integrating MIBS so Canon iR series can be parsed as proper printers and have stats / toner polled correctly?? I was a little spoiled at my last position where all printers were HP / Konica and supported out of the box... Now not so much... Thanks in advance... Matt.C.

We don't generate graphs from any of the default check_mk output. We merely used it as a template to build the Observium agent. To build graphs from any of the data you get from the Solaris agent, you'd have to write code for it. Adam.

IPV6 BGP Session Alerts
by Mahomed Hussein 22 May '13

22 May '13

Hi I’ve noticed that Observium has a very useful “BGP Alerts” section (among all its other useful sections :-) ) that shows all the BGP sessions/neighbours that are down etc. But it doesn’t seem to show IPv6 sessions. Is this because this isn’t currently supported or is there something that needs to be changed in the config? Thanks in advance.
