Dell RAID Controllers etc. appearing as failed
by Chris James 16 Mar '24

16 Mar '24

Morning, Anyone know why "Drive Controller PERC H730 Mini (Embedded)<http://192.168.0.250/device/device=4/tab=health/metric=status/id=826/>", "Drive ID<http://192.168.0.250/device/device=4/tab=health/metric=status/id=827/>", "Drive List of Physical Disks on Controller PERC H730 Mini (Embedded)<http://192.168.0.250/device/device=4/tab=health/metric=status/id=825/>", and "Controller Status<http://192.168.0.250/device/device=4/tab=health/metric=status/id=824/>" show as "fail"? This is on various Dell servers (R620, R730). It would be good to either have this working or just ignore them altogether. Any ideas welcome. Chris Chris James Vessel Production Systems Manager

Hi There, I have been attempting to reach someone from the Observium team to assist my company and I in updating our Software. We followed the instructions on the website located here: https://docs.observium.org/updating/ We did not have success. Our Observium server is hosted on a Linux Ubuntu server. Is there someone at Observium that could take a few minutes and assist us please? I look forward to hearing from you.

jnxVirtualChassisMemberLocation for Juniper Virtual-Chassis
by Laszlo Mazsari 04 Mar '24

04 Mar '24

Hello Observium Team, In our Datacenters we would like to make use of "jnxVirtualChassisMemberLocation" for Juniper switches using Virtual-chassis techhnology. Normally virtual-chassis are in different locations for redundancy reasons. The "snmp location" is not really good to capture the location of the device (as the two switches are in different places but location will show what is configured with "snmp location" command). We updated our switch config with "jnxVirtualChassisMemberLocation" information, but we still dont see the data in Observium. > show snmp mib walk jnxVirtualChassisMemberLocation jnxVirtualChassisMemberLocation.0 = B-U-099 R01.01 jnxVirtualChassisMemberLocation.1 = B-U-098 R01.02 Is this feature on the roadmap to be added? Not sure how much additional work this feature to be added, but going for the Enterprise model may potentially help with this feature request? Thank you for the feedback.

observium(a)lists.observium.org Good day, I am reacting to your decision to prohibit the sending of information. Based on your decision, I checked my email settings and found no problems. I received the last email from your email address observium(a)lists.observium.org on February 15, 2024 at 1:06 p.m. I have not received any email since then. Can you please explain to me why the problems occur when I don't see anything (this does not rule out that there may be problems)? If I understood correctly, my email box refuses to accept your emails. Short summary: - the email address is on the list of Trusted senders - the storage size set aside for emails is 15 GB (0.21 GB occupied) - the number of senders is limited to the designated list, others are in SPAM - Your email address observium(a)lists.observium.org is not there...

Hi, I have migrated my devices from SNMp v1/2c to SNMP v3. As we have quote a number of devices, is there a script or anyway to mass edit the SNMP settings to v3 for these specific devices? We have put in config.php for v3 autodiscovery, but it isn't working. Warmest Regards, Nirmolak Singh

Adding more Nagions plugins
by Brad Bendy 19 Feb '24

19 Feb '24

I went ahead and added another plugin to the /usr/lib/nagios/plugins directory where all the other working plugins are. When I go to add a probe it doesn't show up in the drop down box. Is there something that has to be ran to look for new plugins? Permissions/use/group are the same as the other plugins that work. Thanks

dark ui image legend legibility
by Wolf Noble 16 Feb '24

16 Feb '24

Howdy, all! is there some voodoo necessary to coerce observium to generate graphs with textual legends that aren't black when dark mode is active? it's kinda hard to view black text on dark blue backgrounds :) I don't see an obvious knob for this, but it's entirely possible I'm just missing the "legend text color" or "make graph text legible in dark mode" or "learn to read" button somewhere :) [= The contents of this message have been written, read, processed, erased, sorted, sniffed, compressed, rewritten, misspelled, overcompensated, lost, found, and most importantly delivered entirely with recycled electrons =]

Is it possible to suppress repetitive syslog alerts? if yes how can I do this? The issue is I have a particular site which has an issue with one of the internet connections, it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting every 2 minutes. A syslog event is logged each time and I am getting an email alert for each log.

Upgrading O/S of Observium Server - Debian 10 to 11 (or 12)
by Andy Hartwell 15 Feb '24

15 Feb '24

Advice please ! 😊 I have a server which has been running Observium well for some time. Although upgrading the Observium build is easy enough following the instructions at Updating - Observium<https://docs.observium.org/updating/#upgrading-the-subscription-edition-to-…> this obviously does not update the O/S itself. I had a try at upgrading following online instructions yesterday but after he upgrade was complete the Observium web interface would not display – I just got a page of text which I assumed to be PHP script being displayed rather than “running”. Does anyone have any idiot proof (ie aimed at Linux novice) guidance to upgrade the OS without breaking Observium ? Luckily I had taken a snapshot of the VM so could roll back without any drama. Thanks, Andy Hartwell

sysLocation gets rewritten
by Martin 13 Feb '24

13 Feb '24

Hello, I am experiencing something I don't understand. During polling of a host the syslocation -which is returned correctly by snmp- gets changed into another location (which is an old location before moving from "Address B" to "Address A"). $ /usr/bin/snmpget -v3 -l 'authPriv' -n '' -x 'AES' -X 'passwd' -a 'SHA' -A 'passwd' -u 'username' -Pud -Ih -OQUs --hexOutputLength=0 -m SNMPv2-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp 'udp':'HostName':'161' sysUpTime.0 sysLocation.0 sysUpTime.0 = 0:8:31:49.72 sysLocation.0 = "Address A" This is the correct address returned. A few lines lower in my debugging output I see: sysLocation rewritten from 'Address A' to 'Address B' by DB override. Even if I change the address in mysql to the correct address the polling process keeps changing it to the old address. MariaDB [observium]> select hostname, location from devices where device_id=9811; +-------------------------+--------------+ | hostname | location | +-------------------------+--------------+ | HostName | Address B | +-------------------------+--------------+ My questions: - Why is this happening? - How can I prevent this from happening? - Where does the old address come from? I hope someone can shed some light on this strange issue... Thanks, Martin

Remove Switch Access interfaces from polling
by Massimo Cirulli 07 Feb '24

07 Feb '24

Hi All, I'm a newbie user of Observium. I need to clear the polling in order to not have the access port checked on the campus that we monitored. We have about 50k access interfaces splitted on Cisco and HP Aruba stack. I understand that i declare in config.php the bad iface but they have different name: Cisco -> Gi1/0/1 HP Aruba -> 45 My goal is: only the uplink will be checked. How can i use the config for access layer Cisco and Aruba stack (iface range) ? $config['bad_if'][] = " Gi1/0/1 ->?"; $config['bad_if'][] = "1->"; Thanx in advance for your support Massimo
