SNMP + Ping Alerting
by David Ross 25 Jun '18

25 Jun '18

Hello! I would like to setup an alert-checker that would send a notification only if a device is not reachable via both SNMP and ICMP. Is there documentation that explains specifically how to do this? Thanks! *David W. Ross, Sr.* Sr. Network Engineer 50 Fremont St, 42nd Floor San Francisco, California 94105 415.589.4930 - O 415.926.3483 - C david.ross(a)salesforce.com <http://smart.salesforce.com/sig/david.ross//us_mb/default/link.html>

Minor issue with data obtained vs displayed.
by Ron Marosko 25 Jun '18

25 Jun '18

Howdy Adam et al., Just a minor issue that I've noticed. I'm doing WMI polling of my Windoze boxen, and it's generally working well. The information is getting fetched properly, and being displayed properly. However, I've got a few instances where I see the wmi component of the poller is fetching information properly (case in point my personal workstation): ##### Module Start: wmi ##### WMI Poller: Windows version updated: 10 Pro Insider Preview (10.0.17692) Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5680 @ 3.33GHz o Module time 5.3163s But when I view the device overview page, I get the normal non-WMI indication of "Unknown Processor Type". Pointers on where to look? SQL db? Thanks, Ron -- Ron Marosko, Jr. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Alerting on Bandwidth
by Joey Stanford 24 Jun '18

24 Jun '18

Hi Gang, I’m hoping someone can point me to the best answer for this… I can’t use network weathermap on my Observium server. I do need to monitoring available bandwidth on ports. Many ports on many of the 100 routers have different available bandwidths (e.g. our shot from one mountain to another might have a 100M ifspeed but due to the 30 mile link the actual throughput is 15M). I have some ideas: 1) use alerts to specify the router and port which is cumbersome (using ifInOctets_rate and ifOutOctets_rate) 2) query SQL directly and write a program to parse and display 3) Something I haven’t tested, just use the generic rule I have written and modify the ifspeed on the appropriate ports to what the actual bandwidth is. Any suggestions? Thanks, Joey

APC PDU values
by Pedrosi, Derek G. 21 Jun '18

21 Jun '18

Not sure when this started (2 weeks ago?), but my APC PDUs (model AP8641) are alerting sensors on several banks. I checked the output values on the PDU and they are correctly reported BOTH on the PDU and in Observium. The issue lies at what Observium thinks the thresholds should be set to. On the PDU the thresholds are correct (16 warn and 20 max). But Observium is reporting the thresholds as 1.6 and 2 [cid:image001.png@01D40879.39B4EB10] Doing a discovery debug on the device I see this... [cid:image003.jpg@01D40879.D14D5C00] I feel that the SCALE value is being wrongly applied to several of the values, namely: rPDU2BankStatusCurrent.1 rPDU2BankStatusCurrent.2 rPDU2BankStatusCurrent.3 rPDU2BankStatusCurrent.4 rPDU2PhaseStatusCurrent.1 rPDU2PhaseStatusCurrent.2 Regards, derek

Unable to create Device type alert checkers
by Neal, Christopher 20 Jun '18

20 Jun '18

Hello, We are suddenly unable to create new alert checkers for the device type in our observium instance. When the checker is created and we rebuild no machines are associated to the alert checker. We have a previous device up/down alert checker in place that still works but we are unable to add new devices to it. Other checkers such as storage can be created and seem to work fine. Any help would be appreciated. Best, Chris

/opt/observium/mibs/DO NOT MODIFY THE CONTENTS OF THIS DIRECTORY breaks my AIDE config
by Hamilton, Kent 14 Jun '18

14 Jun '18

Any chance we could get this changed to "DO_NOT_MODIFY_THE_CONTENTS_OF_THIS_DIRECTORY" instead? It breaks our Ubuntu AIDE config and I haven't found a workaround for it not being an AIDE expert. I've tried sed'ing it out in the Debian auto-configlet (/etc/aide/aide.conf.d/31_aide_observium) but that ends up breaking more things. -- [exegy-wrb-121x52] S.

Troubleshoot/Debug Geolocation?
by Mailing Lists 14 Jun '18

14 Jun '18

Hi Guys, Is there a way to troubleshoot/debug the geolocation system? I thought we were using Google, and it reports that's what is configured, but it seems like in reality the lookups are using Yahoo? Perhaps the Google query is failing due to an issue with the API key, but how could I check this? I couldn't see anything obvious in the normal poller or discovery debugs for geolocation? Screenshot from a device that makes me thing something isn't working Thanks, Tim C

Hello Guys, I'm trying to upgrade (for a second time now) the Observium Community Edition server 14.2 to latest and the progress get stuck on the following for nearly 8 hours now. Followed those instructions: http://docs.observium.org/updating/#upgrade-to-latest-major-release Is there something that can be done here? Should we try to upgrade one version in a time (even if its possible)? Thanks ahead.

Group Editor Interface
by Robert Williams 13 Jun '18

13 Jun '18

Hi all, It may have been there for some time (as this is not frequently modified) but I've found that the group membership editor (Devices->Groups) doesn't seem to recognise historic rulesets which we have for some of our groups. Image below: In this example, the group matches servers with specific combinations of Distro and Version. Interestingly, the group actually continues to work just fine! The only issue is that I cannot make any changes to it with the graphical editor. I've had to update it in the DB (specifically changing one of the version numbers) for Debian, and it continues to show the desired results once the group is rebuilt. >From what I can see, the 'device.distro' and 'device.distro_ver' which we are using, are no longer valid items under 'device' in the GUI. Also, I don't "think" that any of the options there are an appropriate equivalent for this (Operating System is different I believe; and there is no numeric 'version' at all). This I presume is why the editor doesn't know how to handle these existing rules. Is this a quick fix, or the entrance to a rabbit hole? Cheers!

LACP Member Monitoring/Speed Mismatch Alert Suggestion
by Klimek, Denis 12 Jun '18

12 Jun '18

Hi all, i would like ask all of you if someone knows a good solution how to trigger a speed mismatch against the configured link speed. I give you an example: Bundle-Ether1 has a port description of "Core: device [40Gbit] {abc} (notes)". So the bundle should have 40Gbit and I want now to create an alert to trigger a speed mismatch if a member goes down, then Bundle-Ether1 will report its updated speed i.e. 30Gbit and this should be compared and trigger somehow.

No pages after loging in
by Roland Hill 10 Jun '18

10 Jun '18

Hi list, Simple problem statement, as per the subject, I get no pages once I log into Observium. More Background. I'm running CE 17.9 edition and have done sucessfully since it's release. I have however update my OS to Ubuntu 18.04 and PHP-7.2. In searching I saw http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBS-2537 and assume my CE issue is a PHP7.2 related one. Is there anyway I can confirm this is a PHP7.2 issue? This is just on my home network (because I can), so nothing urgent and if the fix is "wait until the next release" then I'm good with that. -- Regards, Roland PGP Key 0xDA39319B = BCF0 1214 BAE9 5A3D 46FC 21A6 360D 9398 DA39 319B
