Hi all, does anybody know if it’s possible to re-enable the full timestamps for syslog and evenlog entries that happened within the last 30 minutes?

Inventorying Merakis
by Lars Joergensen 14 Sep '20

14 Sep '20

Hi We have a bunch of Merakis in Observium, and we got the nice graphs and stuff. Then somebody asked for serial numbers for inventory purposes, and ... they're not there. I did an SNMP walk on a single Meraki device, and that's really sparse, explaining the lack of info in Observium. Then I added the Meraki dashboard (available at snmp.meraki.com), and let Observium have a look at that. It basically told me that it resides in San Francisco. Doing an SNMP walk on that does reveal all the necessary info, though, so it is there. Any plans on parsing the Meraki dashboard into Observium and get info on devices that way? If not, we can pull the serials from elsewhere, but it would be cool to know if it's coming.

SNMP Timeouts
by Luis Londoño 10 Sep '20

10 Sep '20

Hello, A couple of weeks ago some of our switches starting not responding to SNMP and are showing down now but I can ping them from the server that I have Observium on. Recently the server storage got filled up but I expanded the disk and has plenty of space now, but I still get timeouts even if I run the SNMPwalk from the Obserivum server. I reinstalled the snmp and snmpd packages on the server (ubuntu 20.04). Some switches are using v2c and those are working while the ones that aren't working are using v3. Wasn't sure if maybe I needed to reinstall some other packages or see what else I could do to fix this. Thank you

Re: [Observium] Alert on port utilisation percent ?

Milton, I disagree, for example, how do you set up a rule to apply to all devices (past and future)? It appears you cannot, however, you could in the past and that are what all the examples show. I like observium quite a lot, however, its these things (like documentation that is not current) that can really frustrate a user.

Instead of it being a text entry like the test conditions, there is now an expression builder, but the fields and operators are still the same. That should be easier that before.

IPSEC Tunnel graphs - Def Error

Hi, I we predominantly have Cisco devices which is monitored via Observium. I have noticed that there is an issue showing graphs of IPSEC Tunnels. I am not sure when this started to fail but I am on version 20.8.10644. I have checked amongst several different devices and they all show the same error. This is tested on ASA5506, ASA5525, Cisco 1921, Cisco 2911 and Cisco 4331. All graphs shows 'Def Error' [cid:image007.png@01D6829C.C6E0D220] How do I resolved this issue?

Enabling MIB and custom values support
by Marian Rychtecky 07 Sep '20

07 Sep '20

Hi all, I do have two questions with different topics, but I didn't want to send multiple emails. Hope you don't mind. First question is probably very simple, however I cannot find out - I need to collect information from Cisco devices using " CISCO-NETWORK-VIRTUALIZATION-OVERLAY-MIB". This MIB is part of Observium. How I will "activate" collecting these MIB values from a device please? I do have almost all modules active and I don't know how to add MIB to a certain device (not all devices, just 3 of them). Second question - as more and more devices (such as Arista) are giving up on SNMP turning slowly to REST APIs or similar methods, is there any way to push information to Observium using its own (python/php) script? I would imagine any kind of value mapping to graphs and then collecting values from scripts or JSON file.... Thank you for your time and support.

Connect to device icon?
by Chris Macneill 05 Sep '20

05 Sep '20

Hi, I was sure at one point there was a "Connect to device/terminal" icon in Observium, but either I'm mistaken and it was never there or now so buried I can no longer find it. Whilst hostnames and/or IP addresses are shown in Observium, they generally have active links attached to them to take you to other screens in Observium, this makes it hard to copy these into a Browser to gain access to the device's GUI. It would be nice to have a "Connect to device" icon next to the IP/Hostname that will make it much easier to click through to the device's own GUI. We recently started using Ubiquiti's UNMS monitoring system which is good for Ubiquiti devices, but pretty lousy for anything else. UNMS has a "Copy to clipboard" icon next to each IP address making it really easy to then connect to the device's GUI. I like the "Copy to clipboard" method rather than a URL link, as this is generic and you can then copy and paste into a browser or any other application. Regards Chris Macneill

Alert Check - Monitoring Cisco Stack Redundancy
by Mezzadri, Steven 01 Sep '20

01 Sep '20

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me write a better alert checker to determine if a Cisco stack has a missing member. Occasionally, one member of a stack will fail, but the stack continues to operate so it's not in a "down" state. I would like to get a notification when that happens. I am currently monitoring all stack ports, but any unused stack ports show "down" as well, so I'm looking for a better solution. [image: image.png] I would like to use another status indicator such as "stack is redundant" or "stacking state": [image: image.png] Perhaps cswRingRedundant ? [image: image.png] Could anyone assist me with how to construct an alert check to accomplish this? Thanks! -- Steven Mezzadri Network Engineer

Re: [Observium] Connect to device icon?

I'm using the Subscription version, so maybe I remember from the days before we paid and were using the CE version. In the Subscription version under the Device Cog the "Connect via" options are replaced by a "Show Tech Support" icon, but nothing in there to connect anywhere. Looks like feature has somehow dropped off Subscription version, I'm a full administrator so should be able to see anything the system has to offer. Currently running 20.8.10631 (stable).

Hi, I the options that you are looking for are found on the device settings cog (not the global settings cog). At least, that's where they are on my CE install. I tried to screen grab the [ http://demo.observium.org/ | demo.observium.org ] instance for you, but it appears that it may also be specific to user account priveleges (or the option has fallen off between CE and current PE). Here's the screenshot from my install.

Whilst hostnames and/or IP addresses are shown in Observium, they generally have active links attached to them to take you to other screens in Observium, this makes it hard to copy these into a Browser to gain access to the device's GUI. It would be nice to have a "Connect to device" icon next to the IP/Hostname that will make it much easier to click through to the device's own GUI. We recently started using Ubiquiti's UNMS monitoring system which is good for Ubiquiti devices, but pretty lousy for anything else. UNMS has a "Copy to clipboard" icon next to each IP address making it really easy to then connect to the device's GUI. I like the "Copy to clipboard" method rather than a URL link, as this is generic and you can then copy and paste into a browser or any other application.
