Issue with 95th Percentile for Billing
by Poh Yong Hwang 23 Apr '13

23 Apr '13

Hi All, New here. :) I have an issue with the billing of traffic. I want to bill according to 95th percentile but for some reason it is always 0Mbps. It can plot my traffic for incoming and outgoing but it always show 0 for my 95th percentile. Any advise on this? Thanks Poh

Strange timezone behaviour in graphs
by Matt Hucker 23 Apr '13

23 Apr '13

Hi, I'm not sure what to make of this. When I try to enter custom time ranges in any of the traffic graphs, I get different results depending on which browser I'm using. Results are as follows. I'm in Brisbane (GMT +10). Mac OS X 10.6 Firefox: Observium always converts the time I enter (in local time) to GMT. Therefore my graphs are out by 10 hours. Safari: Won't accept any time info I enter. Always give me the last 24 hours. Chrom: Everything seems to work ok. Windows 7 Internet Explorer: Always gives me the last 24 hours. Same as Safari on OS X Chrome: Everything seems ok. Clicking any of the preset time periods, e.g 6 / 24 / 48 hours, always works ok regardless of which browser/os I'm using. Is this expected behaviour? Cheers, Matt.

Reset disk storage values on host

I recently changed the disk configuration on one of my monitored hosts. It seems like the discovery engine is pulling the stats incorrectly and applying them to the wrong disks. Is there an easy way (save for removing and re-adding the entire host) to flush the stats of the storage only? I don't care if it has to completely start from scratch.

Subifs no longer showing up for Cisco ASR9K/IOS-XR device after upgrade
by Stephen Fulton 21 Apr '13

21 Apr '13

Hi all, I've been using Observium since January, and I've mostly been happy with it. I upgraded to 0.13.4.3934 yesterday, and since then, none of the sub-interfaces on a ASR9K/IOS-XR 4.3.0 router are being collected. Originally I thought it was due to an upgrade error on my part, so I deleted the host and re-added it, but the sub-interfaces are not being seen and data not being collected. Let me know what information is needed, and I'll present it. -- Stephen

If you changed the RRD databases, they'd stop storing the normal datapoints, because they would be at the wrong resolution. Like I said, it can't currently be done. You could change the entire installation to be 1-minute, change the RRD template and delete all of the existing RRDs, but you wouldn't want to, because that would be a lot of load on your network and on the observium host. Also, your changes would likely be overwritten by a future update, then you'd be stuffed :) adam.

Observium Enterprise/Pro licensing
by Adam Armstrong 20 Apr '13

20 Apr '13

Hi All, At some point in the future it's likely that I'm going to split Observium into free and enterprise/pro variants. Observium has historically been developed as a fairly ad hoc project, with work being done as time permits between work projects. We've often had gaps of 6 months where there has been little work done due to other commitments. As the user-base expands this is going to become less and less viable a way of maintaining the project, and we need to be able to devote more time to keeping on top of bug reports and feature development. To be able to devote more time to the project we need to establish a revenue stream to be able to support it. We'd like comments from you guys about how we should go about splitting, what should be in each version, and what we should charge. We're considering: A hosts/ports-based licensing scheme, where you get a certain number free, and any more than that requires a license. A feature-based licensing scheme, where higher-value features such as load balancers, netapp, mac accounting, vpn tracking, etc require a license. Licensing for customer-access, where allowing customers access to the web interface requires a license. What pricing models do you think would work? Options for the ent/pro version include using the honour system, maintaining a separate password-protected SVN repository or distributing an ioncube-protected version. I would prefer to go the honour system route, but I'm not sure how well that would work. Thanks, adam.

polling interval
by J Z 19 Apr '13

19 Apr '13

Long-time user and lurker. Many thanks to Adam and those who volunteer their time on this awesome project. I was wondering if there was a way to modify the polling interval (aside from modifying the crontab entry). I know that there was a lot of work that had to be done to decrease the polling interval from 5 to 1 minutes in Cacti, so I imagine it's not as simple as simply changing the crontab entry for Observium to monitor a switch's traffic utilization every 60 seconds. Has anyone successfully done this? Is there something simple I'm missing to get this to work? Many thanks!

APC UPS and remaining Runtime
by Chris Blake 19 Apr '13

19 Apr '13

Hello, Not sure if I am doing this right (using the mailing list) so please don't kill me if I am. I currently have a APC UPS SMT2200RM2U, and I just recently added it to my Observium panel vi SNMP v2c. I see it logs everything from the current load to battery temp, but I am kind of surprised it does not log Battery Run Time Remaining. I checked in the latest APC powernet.mib file, and there is a function to call this. So, I updated the /opt/observium/mib/apc/powernet.mib to the latest version, but observium still does not log or show the remaining run time, which leads me to believe it is not coded into the script. Just wondering if this is a plan for the future, or am I doing everything wrong? Thanks, Chris B
