The map is not enabled as default. Check the config documentation on the site. If your main installation's database is desynced, you could just delete it and read all the hosts.

SQL Server

Hello, I don't know if this is the best place to ask this but... Is it possible to integrate Observium with SQL Server? In my company we have a MS SQL server team managing the DB's but no MYSQL experts. If the integration with SQL Server is supported, I prefer that the correct team manages that DB. If not, is that integration in the roadmap? Best regards Paulo Rio

Hi Paul, That’s excellent thanks! I've just extended that array to include all our (already labelled, thankfully) ports for various service types and it's worked brilliantly. One question, I don't suppose there is an 'easy' way to add a category which is made of up two other port types? Like with the default "Peering & Transit" group?

Hi, I've just supplied a patch to the nav bar (commit 4004) that will pick up anything you put followed by a colon and display it as a group under the ports menu. So I have a bunch of ports which have descriptions which start ESXData: Inter: Mgmt: etc and now those headings appear as groups under the port menu automatically when you add them to the config file with $config['int_groups'] = array("EsxData","EsxMgmt","Inter"); If your existing ports don't start with something like that then you'll need to create a custom port description parser which will pull out the type from however you have it laid out in your port descriptions. I took the opportunity to re-label all my 330 ports into a better structure and just use the standard parser but the custom parser is easy enough if you can write regular expressions. regards, Paul On 15/05/2013 02:08, Jason Lixfeld wrote: > > On 2013-05-14, at 5:59 PM, Tom Laermans <tom.laermans(a)powersource.cx> wrote: > >> On 14/05/2013 23:45, Jason Lixfeld wrote: >>> My port naming convention for core ports doesn't follow the "Core:" spec required by Observium.

Smokeping / Ping Tab - 3rd Graph?
by Robert Williams 14 May '13

Hi, Just setup Smokeping integration (and generated targets using Michiel’s groovy script – thanks!). Anyway, it’s all working fine for all the hosts but I’m not sure what the 3rd graph on the Ping tab is meant to show, called localhost. It appears on every single host’s “Ping” tab. Have I just failed to configured a hostname *somewhere* or is this graph meant to display something else? When you click on it you just get an “Insufficient Permissions” message, image attached for reference. Any input or pointers as to what I’ve done wrong are welcome – cheers :) [cid:image001.png@01CE4E68.90BE29B0] Robert Williams Custodian Data Centre Email: Robert(a)CustodianDC.com http://www.CustodianDC.com
