Hi, version 19.6.9959: all RRDs last update one week ago. Neither system log nor observium logs show any issue. /rrd folder permissions are as before. What should I check? Thanks Luca

Reports
by Christian Eriksson 24 Jun '19

Hi, Since there is no reporting in Observium, how do you get a list of devices and the metric "availability"? That value is not stored in the DB (I think), the only way is to retrieve it from the RRD files, correct? Regards Christian

Confusing Poe+ Sensor alerts/warnings
by James Tandy 21 Jun '19

21 Jun '19

Hi, Hardware: HPE J9780A Switch 2530-8-PoEP Did some digging, thanks to the very helpful new? tool https://mibs.observium.org/mib/HP-ICF-POE-MIB/#hpicfPoePethPsePortPower It appears the PoE Power warning is based on being over poe (not poe+) limits, not sure how it determines what the maximum allowed should be. For PoE+ Switches it is 30W The seemingly undocumented OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.1.9.1.1.1.16 gives the following output: .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.1.9.1.1.1.16.1.1 = 1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.1.9.1.1.1.16.1.2 = 1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.1.9.1.1.1.16.1.3 = 2 .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.1.9.1.1.1.16.1.4 = 1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.1.9.1.1.1.16.1.5 = -1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.1.9.1.1.1.16.1.6 = 2 .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.1.9.1.1.1.16.1.7 = 1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.1.9.1.1.1.16.1.8 = -1 Ports 1,2,4 and 7 have PoE devices attached. Ports 3 and 6 have PoE+ devices and ports 4 and 8 are disconnected. This table matches the 'PLC Type' column in the switch GUI. Hopefully this could be useful in making more meaningful PoE Power status warnings/alerts. Also not sure why Current causes an alert.. We have 3 of these switches, some of which show 0.22A as ok, while other ports alert as low as 94mA -- Regards, James Tandy TandyUK Servers Limited Tel: 01903 247 011 Www: http://www.tandyukservers.co.uk Email: support(a)tandyukservers.co.uk TandyUK Servers Limited Registered in England and Wales, Company number 8314911 VAT Registered in the UK, number 182 0661 19 Registered Office: Amelia House, Crescent Road, Worthing, BN11 1QR

how to skip SNMP check and only evaluate ICMP for some devices (HPE)?
by Thomas Stather 19 Jun '19

19 Jun '19

Hi Observium version: r9964 (rolling) OS: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Is there a way to only evaluate the ICMP answers for certain devices (and skip SNMP)? I know that it can be done the other way round (there is a switch in the device props). We run a bunch of H3C/HP/HPE switches and there are no SNMP answers sometimes which lead to false-positives (i know about this issue already). During the next polling run, the alert is then cleared and this is annoying. Best, Thomas -- Thomas Stather IT Services VCP4, VCP6-DCV, VCP6.5-DCV Tel: +49 6221 486 628 Fax: +49 6221 486 561

power sensor with 0W -> alert
by Wiethoff, Helge 18 Jun '19

18 Jun '19

Hi, since some weeks POE Groups (or other power supply unity) are marked as alarm if no output power is specified: observium-alert-zero-power.png. In this case this is not a problem, it just means that no POE-device is connected to the switch. How can I remove the alarms here? Cheers Helge

Ubiquiti EdgeOS - Port Descriptors
by mal＠platinumnetworks.com.au 11 Jun '19

11 Jun '19

Hi all - I have a number of EdgeOS devices in the field that I would like to add in to Observium but I am having an issue with the port descriptors as follows: I have set the interface description as follows - "description CUST:JOHNSONS(AAPT_NWBL2)[50M]{1736079}" using the CUST: and various brackets as outlined in the documentation. The OS does not like spaces in the description field so I was forced to remove them to get the config to stick. Problem is that when the interface is parsed the description comes up as just description CUSTJOHNSONSAAPT_NWBL250M1736079 which clearly is not going to be parsed correctly by Observium. Wondering if anyone has come across this previously and can pint me in the direction of a solution/workaround. Cheers Mal

Alert for description port
by VIP TELECOM - Rafael 31 May '19

31 May '19

Hello, I need a help with alerts: I have mikrotik, extreme, datacom, huawei, cisco ..., all registered by ip in observium and with their doors properly described in the equipment. The port down, device down, displays the ip of the device and the number of the port, in the cases of mikrotik it presents the description of the port, but in other cases it only displays the port number. When we receive an alert on the telegram for example, or even on the dashboard, we can not know what that port is until it clicks on it, could it send the description along with the alert in a way that works for all manufacturers? In mikrotik the association that I make is: port.ifAlias in others the association is: port.ifDescr One more question would be: In addition to sending the ip of the device, it would have to send the hostname of the device, this would be very useful also in the dashboard --
