Reducing WiFi Error Alerts
by Chris Macneill 26 Aug '20

26 Aug '20

Hi, We get a lot of WiFi error alerts from Ubiquiti devices clogging up our event log. Most devices in Observium have a number of Sensors listed which allows thresholds to be adjusted to receive only genuine issues and reduce the noise level. Ubiquiti WiFi devices have no sensors listed for each device, so apparently no way to adjust thresholds? Regards Chris Macneill

Syslog alert checker functionality / OID "group" alerts (FC Port Monitoring)
by Markus Mohr 24 Aug '20

24 Aug '20

Hiya! Two questions or requests for some problems that just showed up. 1. Syslog with additional alert checker functionality We use observiums syslogserver for most of our systems and syslog alerts of course. Problem is, we can't set a delay. Like 1 system, 4 reports in 10 Minutes = alert. Is there any way this could be implemented or is already planned for observium? Main reason is, that we have some systems that need to alert, but only after a specific threshold. Otherwise we get flooded with senseless alarms. Waking up in the middle of the night because of a false alert sucks a bit :) 2. Building OID groups / FC Port monitoring We need a check for our FC switches to report, if a port has the wrong config and runs as FL instead of F. MIB and custom OID are no problem in this case, would be OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.75.1.2.1.1.3 - and it works. BUT I need to add a custom OID for every port, so 1.3.6.1.2.1.75.1.2.1.1.3.1.1, 1.3.6.1.2.1.75.1.2.1.1.3.1.2 etc. and create an alert check for every OID. Adding 24 or more custom OID etc. and the checks . well, sucks a bit. Any idea how this could be better managed? Best wishes Markus MOHR IT-Infrastruktur TakeASP AG

Hi, We upgraded a Junos Pulse VPN box to a newer version and since the device is changed to a Linux Device. Our service provider contacted also Junos but they couldn't help they said in the first place. Anything you can do to help getting the right discovery again?

Something like autobackup ?
by Edvinas Kairys 29 Jul '20

29 Jul '20

hello, As the standalone Observium server grows with more and more devices, rules, checkers, etc. The possibility of losing that all due to hardware failure would make me mad. Is there any best practices of making the backups of Observium data to make the emergency restore more faster than from zero ? Thanks

Re: [Observium] Changing Observium alert message contents
by Risto Jürisson 28 Jul '20

I would like to have more information in my email alert messages. - Adding the names to DNS or hosts file does not currently give enough information. I was hoping that someone here already knows where this template file is located 😊 (and I would back that file up before modifying it 😉).
