Get Interface UP and DOWN mails for ignored ports since about r2922
by Matthias Cramer 27 Mar '12

27 Mar '12

Hi Adam and All since about r2922 I get DOWN and UP alert mail for Ports ignored by $config['bad_if_regexp'][] = "/^tnl[0-9]/"; Looks like this is not checked when sending mail, only on the web front end. Would be very very nice if that can be fixed. Regards Matthias P.S.

Not all filesystems added to Observium
by Ciro Iriarte 23 Mar '12

23 Mar '12

Hi, I have this working without issues for RHEL5 and SLES11, but on a openSUSE host the filesystems built on top of LVM are not shown... The walk gives them all: HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.10 = STRING: Swap space HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.31 = STRING: / HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.32 = STRING: /usr/local/pgsql HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.34 = STRING: /dev/shm HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.35 = STRING: /run HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.39 = STRING: /sys/fs/cgroup HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.50 = STRING: /var/lock HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.51 = STRING: /var/run HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.56 = STRING: /media HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.57 = STRING: /boot But observium only shows info for /boot, /dev/shm, /media /run,/sys/fs/cgroup, /var/lock and /var/run. On SLES I don't see "in memory/not real" filesystems like /proc or /sys. Regards, -- Ciro Iriarte http://cyruspy.wordpress.com --

bug report: Billing Traffic
by Timbo a la Bazzi 16 Mar '12

16 Mar '12

Hi There, How can I make a bug report? The forum is closed for registration, the bugtracker also, so I hope this is the correct way and I can help in the future maybe, because the software is awesome! I have the following situation: The polling is done correctly and it shows the same results as cacti for my switch. Buw when I add billing and make a bill for a port with Quota the first time I add for example 20GB it shows like 20B. If i then edit it it shows correctly as 20GB (so not 2.0E-8), so there is a work around. When I add a bill for multiple ports the sum is totally wrong. For example. I made a bill of 5 ports and 5 bills of each port, so I can check. If a manually sum the 5 bills/ports I get around 80GB. But when I look at the SUMMED bill it says 1.47PB I have added the billing feature this way: http://www.observium.org/wiki/Billing What am I doing wrong and if it is a bug how can I correct it? So there are 2 problems: initial quota is set wrong, but can be corrected. -> Bug with a work around quota calculated to high values -> bug or misconfiguration, but I can't find anything about it: So you can see the sum of the 5 ports are 9.36Gbps and it are 5x 100MBit ports ;-) The switch that I am monitoring is a HP2524 Thanks in advance!

I did an svn up recently, and am now at r2879.

Traffic
by Nuno Dias 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

Hi, I'm testing the observium and already added a couple of devices, (several switch one router and some linux boxes) All this devices have at least 1Gb network cards or ports in the case of switchs, some have 10Gb ports. But in my graphs I have at most 100/120 Mb peaks, but I'm sure that I have more traffic in some ports, because I have other monitoring system (cacti) showing that. I remember that in cacti I had to configure the counters to be 64-bits and convert bytes in bits. So, do I need to configure in observium this kind of things? if yes where? or this is some kind of bug? Thanks Nuno -- Nuno Dias <ndias(a)lip.pt> LIP

Limit Views and devices groups

Hi!, how do you guys scale in heterogeneous administrative environments?. For example: - Within an administrative domain would be nice to group the devices involved in a particular high level service. - Currently I have a mix of devices and would like to see them all, but some administrator for example would like to see only their hardware. Would it be possible to limit access to a set of devices?. >From what I know, the only way right now would be to have many observium instances for different people, but that would be an issue if some people would like to see all the hardware....

widescreen ports graphs

Hey Adam, Just quick note, that widescreen mode on ports graph doesn't working property. These 4 graphs should fill all available width, but instead using proportion from normal mode. And I wonder if there way we could able to select multiply different port types, like transit+peering. I mean come up with different control where you could select not only one state?

Data is visible up to a couple of weeks ago, but then stops and nothing more has been recorded since. The permission on the rrd are fine, and the file itself hasn't been modified since the day the data stopped being recorded. Interestingly, the usage 'bar' next to the (blank) graph shows usage on it correctly.

Since then it doesn't appear to have made any effort to re-create the RRD file :( So, any ideas on why this one element would stop working suddenly?
