31 Aug '18

Hey Guys, 3 quick questions re Custom ODI’s * Can they be bulk imported ? If not, can this be a feature ? Snmpwalk from “here” down and ask for all the details :) * Can I devide the value by 10 and display that ? * Can I monitor text outputs ? - Just display the value, no graphing ? Thanks, Pieter

sorting columns in group view?
by Steve Costaras 31 Aug '18

31 Aug '18

Hello- We are running on the stable release chain of observium 18.8.9403 and use groups a lot. I am trying to find out how, or if it's not possible to request the ability to sort via the columns when viewing the group(s). For example in the attached to be able to sort alphanumerically the hostname column; device; or OS; etc. And to set a default 'sort' (say via hostname)? Is this possible? Thanks, Steve

Subgroups under Custom OIDs just like Devices -> Locations
by Silvio del Val Hinojal 31 Aug '18

31 Aug '18

Hello, Would it be very difficult to have subgroups under "Custom OIDs" menu so that I would navigate in web to Home -> Custom OIDs -> <Group of Custom OIDs> -> Custom OIDs ? I don't know if have explained correctly. I only would like to organize my Custom OIDs in groups in menu bar in the web, just like "Devices -> Locations" do, that there are one subgroup for each location. If it's a lot of work for an small improvement, forget about it. I currently group my Custom OIDs by name.

HP Procurve - dot1q and OSFP
by Christian Eriksson 29 Aug '18

29 Aug '18

Hi, 1. dot1Q All interfaces whether they be untagged or tagged, are marked as dot1q in the UI I have attached a debug of a device from the modules "ports" and "vlan"(debug.txt). Also a show vlan <id>(showvlan.txt) to prove that they really are untagged ;) 1. OSPF A lot of devices with no OSPF configuration have a routing button with OSPF in the UI(see attached file OSPF.png). Debug file is also attached(ospf_debug.txt) Output from show command [cid:image001.png@01D43FC7.747651A0] If you think I should open a JIRA case instead, i'll do it Running 18.8.9405 Regards Christian

Location mass edit

29 Aug '18

Hi all, should I change the location of a whole 42U-rack equipments to a new one, does it exist any tool to do it in a single-shot? Or should I operate on the db? (or to uniquely name the racks, but this is another affair) Thanks Luca

Hello, This morning I upgraded our Observium Pro machines from prior version 18.7.9337 to last 18.8.9403 and, since then, polling times growed by almost 3 or 4 times: [cid:image003.jpg@01D43ED6.AFE37570] I upgraded using "svn update" in our polling machines and "discovery.php -u" to upgrade DB schema. I even tried to activate "$config['snmp']['max-rep'] = TRUE;" with no luck. What should I change to fix this times?

Get more information on Dashboard for Process consumption
by Kaustubh Parthasarthy, CLSA 29 Aug '18

29 Aug '18

I have been using observium for few months now. I wanted some info from the graphs that observium spins off. Following is the graphs for running process consumption: [cid:image001.png@01D43EAC.03C3D610] Can I get something like top 10 process graphs? Let me give you an example, I sometimes get requests from folks asking, "Ok my memory utilization on a server ABC was 90% on this particular day. Can we get list of processes consuming high memory on that particular day ? " So as per this, can I customize the graph to get process level info ?

Dashboards
by Cederlund Tobias 27 Aug '18

27 Aug '18

Hi (...threw the to the list yesterday, but it didn't came through...) A few months ago I noticed the appearance of a "Default Dashboard" under Overview in the menu. There's also a nice "Add to Dashboard" button on graph-pages to add the graph to a dashboard. This seems like a fantastic feature but right now there only the "Default Dashboard". Is it possible add more dashboards? ...and if so, how? I also haven't seen any documentation of this very nice feature. Is there any? We're on 18.8.9355 Best regards, Tobias

Static routes
by Klimek, Denis 23 Aug '18

23 Aug '18

Hi, what is your opinion about extracting also the static configured routes from the device? Possible SNMP OID would be .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.24.7 We have the case that multiple prefixes are staticly configured and that we are able to fetch them in the Observium database for 3rd party purposes that we built around. I know that pulling the routes from a device with a BGP full route takes a lot of time, but maybe it can be implemented into the discovery module instead of the poller. A way to ignore BGP or to exclude everything except static is not known so far.... From my side.

Custom OID Metric Conditions (now with 100% more attachment)

Hi, The attached image shows some custom OIDs I have set up to monitor Juniper QFX VCP link status. These work fine and I see the custom graphs (gauges where state 1 = link up, state 0 = link down). The last bit I need to figure out is how to alert on them. I think I'm 90% of the way there. You can see the custom OIDs in the top browser window. In the bottom browser window, I'm unsure how to refer to the custom OIDs in the "conditions" bit. Any help gratefully accepted - I've got this far without bothering anyone but I've fallen at the last hurdle. Thanks!

Show ink levels for Ricoh printers
by Simon Mousey Smith 21 Aug '18

Hi All This is a message to ask people can they try these SNMP OIDs in the link below on there Ricoh printers? We have a few Ricoh printers that just show SOME SPACE in observium and would love to see values! I discovered this link by accident and they appear to be working on our few printers! Currently using the printer-mib only reveilles -3, -2, -1 which isnt helpful... But the link below uses ricohs private mib which appears to work! https://github.com/librenms/librenms/issues/4177#issuecomment-241957542 <https://github.com/librenms/librenms/issues/4177#issuecomment-241957542> If they work for others, could the wonderful amazing observium team implement these oids into the existing checker to show stats :) Regards Simon - Hestor Ltd
