wkhtmltopdf
by Eric W. Bates 07 Dec '18

07 Dec '18

I'm trying to generate a report with wkhtmltopdf. This is a command line tool which inputs a URL and outputs a PDF. How do I compose an Observium URL which includes authentication? Everything I try simply renders the "Please log in:" page. -- Clark 159a, MS 46 508/289-3112

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

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 ?

Dear Everybody, we have a couple of foundry switches (with only a single power supply) in use and with the "newest" version, we see an alarm under statuses. Is it possible to ignore / disable the health check for e.g. the 2nd power supply? BR, Patrick

Hey Guys, More a feature request (?) than anything else but I have noticed that the alert checkers background changes to match the state for "normal" OIDs but for custom OIDs it stays grey ? [image: Screen Shot 2018-12-04 at 10.04.22 AM.png] Thanks, Pieter

Dell Compellent DiskFolderSUTotalSpace
by Richard Wigzell 30 Nov '18

Hello all, Would it be possible to have the following two OIDs displayed for our Dell Compellent arrays. scDiskFolderSUTotalSpace<http://www.circitor.fr/Mibs/Html/C/COMPELLENT-MIB.php#scDiskFolderSUTotalSp…> 1.3.6.1.4.1.16139.2.32.1.3 Disk Folder Storage Usage total space, in GB OBJECT-TYPE Unsigned32<http://www.circitor.fr/Mibs/Html/S/SNMPv2-SMI.php#Unsigned32> scDiskFolderSUUsedSpace<http://www.circitor.fr/Mibs/Html/C/COMPELLENT-MIB.php#scDiskFolderSUUsedSpa…> 1.3.6.1.4.1.16139.2.32.1.4 Disk Folder Storage Usage used space, in GB OBJECT-TYPE Unsigned32<http://www.circitor.fr/Mibs/Html/S/SNMPv2-SMI.php#Unsigned32> Preferable together on the same graph - to let us know how much space has been used. On our arrays the sub object .2 is the only one to return a value. iso.3.6.1.4.1.16139.2.32.1.4.1 = Gauge32: 0 iso.3.6.1.4.1.16139.2.32.1.4.2 = Gauge32: 43434 iso.3.6.1.4.1.16139.2.32.1.3.1 = Gauge32: 0 iso.3.6.1.4.1.16139.2.32.1.3.2 = Gauge32: 84496 we are doing this with the custom OID function at the moment but it's a bit clunky as it returns in Gb so 82TB comes out as 82k Gb for example, and they are separate graphs.

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.. Running version 18.10.9472 (stable) thanks for your time. -- Clark 159a, MS 46 508/289-3112

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?

Searching Issue using Normal user account
by Andres 26 Nov '18

26 Nov '18

Hi Guys, After updated to the last version, I have a issue when I do a port seach using a Normal Account. In older versions i could seach for an interface port description but not now. I realize that it is only possible if I add Ports individually, but not if I only add devices. Any Suggestions? [image: image.png]

A general questions on apps vs sniped extend ?
by Jonas Karlsson 22 Nov '18

22 Nov '18

Hi, I am new to observium and I am trying to learn the "system". Last week I developed a "app" that shows some status. The client side was super simple but it was somewhat cumbersome on the serverside (find all files to update and definitions etc). This week I tried to use snmpd extend to display the same information. This was super simple both on the client and on the server side (adda custom oid) and it works with alerts! My question is therefore in what circumstances are the "apps" useful? At least for my simple example I did not find any benefits of apps over using snmpd extend and a custom OID. Specially as configuring an app is more cumbersome (on the server side). -- Jonas Karlsson Senior Research Engineer Karlstad University SE-651 88 Karlstad, Sweden 📞 +46 54 700 15 64 📞 +46 70 672 06 20 💬 karlsson.karl.jonas 🗝 0x88765911B284F3A6

db error
by Tim Schmidt 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

For some reason, I've started receiving "DB Error 2002: No such file or directory" on my Observium installation. Weird thing was that it was literally right in the middle of using the web interface when the error started popping. I've restarted the VM and checked disk space and all looks good. root@tcgobs /opt/observium# ./discovery.php -h none MIB search path: /opt/observium/mibs Cannot find module (LM-SENSORS-MIB): At line 0 in (none) DB Error 2002: No such file or directory Ran the above command line discovery and got this. Not sure what's going on. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Tim

No "mouse-over" on dashboard elements

Hello, "Mouse-over" function over machine names in dashboard doesn't work, I supposse this is correct by now? It works when I click on a machine name, status, alert or whatever and I pass mouse over any element in the screen, showing a floating window with corresponding statistics. This is to confirm this behaviour is right and I don't have anything misconfigured.
