I use last SVN update. I have try new installation for test, it's the same result. Johann

Increase polling interval to 10 minutes?
by Gordon Cheng (gocheng) 18 Dec '18

18 Dec '18

I have a few Cisco Nexus switches with over 1k ports/interfaces. Since it takes quite some time for them to finish polling, is there any way we can increase the polling interval from default 5 minutes to say 10 minutes? Can we just increase the interval for these few devices, or we have to increase it for all? Any pointer or documents showing how it can be done? I'm a bit new to Observium. Thanks. - Gordon

Win2019 Server called Win 2016
by ron＠rjr-services.com 15 Dec '18

15 Dec '18

Howdy Adam, et al., So I deployed a couple of Win2019 servers yesterday and of course added them to my monitoring.... and they are being shown as Win 2016 servers. Checked the poller debug of WMI and that's correctly indicating... but I suspect Microsoft's choice to still call it NT 6.3 may be throwing things off.

Possible pseudowire bug - Backup PSW's classed as DOWN/ALERT, results in broken PW alerting
by Andrew Lemin 14 Dec '18

14 Dec '18

Hi List, Just a quick one to check that I do not need to configure something extra for this to work? We have lots of Pseudowire's configured using IOS-XR, IOS-XE and IOS, and these all show in Observium with the pwID, and the Local and Remote details (so Observium is correctly matching the stanzas across the two endpoints as being the same service) which is awesome :) However when configuring 'Backup' Pseudowire, the standby/backup Pseudowire is shown as 'Down' and 'Alert' in Observium? This is really confusing for support staff who do not understand if down/alert means something is wrong or not, and as such we are currently unable to monitor any pseudowire and have all alerts disabled for them :( The attached image shows an example, of how all the PWs to the secondary device are reported as down and in an alert state! They are all down but in the normal state as standby/backup pseudowires. Below shows the output for the PW states, and it can be seen that a status of 'sec' and 'SB' is provided for Standby/Backup (the Pseudowire is explicitly configured with a 'Backup' path etc) pseudowires. BYF-CGW-2#show xconnect all Legend: XC ST=Xconnect State S1=Segment1 State S2=Segment2 State UP=Up DN=Down AD=Admin Down IA=Inactive SB=Standby HS=Hot Standby RV=Recovering NH=No Hardware XC ST Segment 1 S1 Segment 2 S2 ------+---------------------------------+--+---------------------------------+-- UP pri ac Po20.339:339(Eth VLAN) UP mpls <remote-rt-1-ip>:339 UP IA sec ac Po20.339:339(Eth VLAN) UP mpls <remote-rt-2-ip>:339 SB UP pri ac Po20.341:341(Eth VLAN) UP mpls <remote-rt-1-ip>:341 UP IA sec ac Po20.341:341(Eth VLAN) UP mpls <remote-rt-2-ip>:341 SB UP pri ac Po20.348:348(Eth VLAN) UP mpls <remote-rt-1-ip>:348 UP IA sec ac Po20.348:348(Eth VLAN) UP mpls <remote-rt-2-ip>:348 SB So the question I guess is, do the OIDs show the third status of 'SB' (or the 'XC' and 'ST' states of, 'IA' & 'sec' = Standby/Backup etc) so we can have something like; 'UP' = Green (Up), 'SB' = Amber (Up), 'DN' = Red (Down/Alert)? Without this pseudowire alerting and state monitoring is broken :( As always, Thanks for all your time and effort with Observium Kind regards, Andy.

Host Description in Notifications
by Brian Downey 12 Dec '18

12 Dec '18

Hi All, Has anyone else experienced trouble getting the Description field (Host Properties -> Device Settings) to appear in notifications? Looking at the notification templates there is an "ENTITY_DESCRIPTION" field, but it doesn't seem to get used in our installation; i.e. the alerts simply show "Entity" and then "Condition" skipping it entirely. The descriptions are filled in and show in the Observium interface. As a shot in the dark I tried to customize the template per the README in the template directory & experimented with "DEVICE_DESCRIPTION", but also no bueno. -Brian

Observium client for windows?
by Connary, Scott 08 Dec '18

08 Dec '18

Observiums biggest weakness is its inability to auto-discover windows. LLDT needs to be integrated into the design. Or being able to piggy back off of Symantec or bigfix for data.

Device status changed to Down due to SNMP timeout
by Ming Wong, CLSA 07 Dec '18

Dear Observium, I am running the professional edition of Observium. Due to snmp timeout, some devices are considered to be "down" intermittently. I have tried to tweak the snmp timeout but it still happen. My question is: can I use ping only, and ignore snmp timeout to detect device up/down ?

Missing customers
by Eric W. Bates 26 Nov '18

26 Nov '18

I've labeled a number of our ports as "Cust: somebody", but not all appear on the Port --> Customers page. All the "Cust" labeled ports are on a pair of Junipers and most of them work, but a few are skipped (4 out of 11 are skipped). With debug enabled on the poller, I can see the 'ifalias' containing the Cust string: ifAlias.519 = Cust: WHRC I can also see various other OID's for interface ID 519: ifDescr.519 = ge-1/0/3 ifType.519 = ethernetCsmacd ifOperStatus.519 = up ifName.519 = ge-1/0/3 etc..

Change Custom Locations for All Entities
by Josh Williams 26 Nov '18

26 Nov '18

Hello Everyone, I need to change the custom location string of every device. Does anyone know of an easier way of doing this, other than through the web GUI? I tried changing to location column under the device_locations table but that doesn't work. My assumption is that I would just make changes somewhere in the Observium database but I can't seem to find where the custom location data is stored. Any Ideas?
