Display poe power
by Simon Mousey Smith 12 Jul '19

12 Jul '19

Hi All We use a few Netgear GS110TP switches with POE for WiFi points and VOIP Phones Is it possible to have observium display the outputs of the power being provided to each port? I have found the MIBs for this switch - http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/GS110TP/GS108Tv2_GS110TP%20MIB_V… <http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/GS110TP/GS108Tv2_GS110TP%20MIB_V…> A sample output shows in the web panel as the following g2 Enable 16.2 Low 802.3af 4point Only 4 None 46 65 3.0 Class 15400 Delivering Power Im also happy to help with any SNMP outputs from the switch needed :) Regards Simon

Serial Number searches not working properly
by Andrew Lemin 10 Jul '19

10 Jul '19

Hi list, Hope everyone is well 😊 We have been using the serial number search feature a lot recently as part of an audit / support contract renewals. And we have found that when a stack of switches exists, only the first serial number for the first stack member is searchable! When going to the device and selecting the ‘Inventory’ tab, we can see the serial numbers for all stack members. But the search query is not finding these ☹ After discovering this exclusion, we have tested some more and found that the issue also exists for line cards. I.e. only the chassis serial number is searchable, the line card serial numbers in the chassis are not returning the node. Again, the serial numbers for the line cards are being correctly displayed in the Inventory. So at a guess, it seems like the SQL query needs enhancing to include the referential child rows or tables for devices internal components (guessing stack slave members are treated like line cards). Thanks for your thoughts, Cheers Andy.

traffic alert to a tunnel interface?
by Laszlo Nemeth 08 Jul '19

08 Jul '19

Hello I have some GRE tunnels without physical interface speed and theye are always in UP state. So in this case i am not able to set an alert to notify me when "ifInOctets perc le 1" or if the interface status is down. Is there any options to set up a byte/sec alert ex: i would like to get an alert if the average traffic is lower than 100 byte/sec in the last 5 mins ? Thanks Laszlo

How to exclude "virtual Memory" from an alert checker (but keep all other memory metrics)?
by Thomas Stather 04 Jul '19

04 Jul '19

Hi We are using Observium Professional: 19.6.9946 (rolling) I have set up an alert check to check our servers for fully occupied memory ("mempool_perc greater 80"). I want to include the metrics "Memory buffers", "Physical Memory", "Swap space" but i want to exclude "Virtual memory". Is there a way of doing so and if so, how?

One more question, this time about GeoCoding
by Richard Kuhns 04 Jul '19

04 Jul '19

Hello, We're running v19.6.9959. How do I tell Observium to look up the SNMP Location again for all devices? We've recently purchased an API key for google geocoding, which I've installed via the GUI. However, when I look at a specfic device --> Properties --> Geolocation, the Last updated field looks ok (2019-07-03 07:26:42) which is a few minutes after I logged into the device. Last update status, though, says: Geocoding ENABLED, try detect device coordinates: by PARSING sysLocation (API: YAHOO) - NOT REQUESTED GEO API REQUEST: QUERY DATE: Wed, 19 Jun 2019 12:16:42 -0400 It *does* work on a few devices, however, showing that it's using the Google API. Where would be a good place to start debugging this (as in, see exactly what observium is sending along with the response)? Thanks Richard J.

RHEL and Observium enterprise license
by DeBoer, Alan 02 Jul '19

02 Jul '19

Hi All, Just wondering if there is any support roadblocks if we use RHEL for our Observium installs with an enterprise license? I'm talking about scaling, feature requests, dev support...ect. We recently purchased an enterprise license and our environment is currently Debian, but we possibly need to move to RHEL. I understand Observium was developed under Debian, but I'm not finding anything in the FAQ besides some font issues that can be fixed. Thanks, Alan DeBoer

Reports
by Christian Eriksson 24 Jun '19

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

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
