Clearing Alerts
by mal＠platinumnetworks.com.au 28 Mar '18

28 Mar '18

Hi all - I have created my very first alert checker and can see that it creates and alert according to the checker criteria. My checker looks for speed on a port and alerts if ge 100M. >From what I can see, once that alert has been created I do not have the ability to 'clear' the alert so even if the port speed drops below 100M the alert remains in failed state and if the checker criteria are met again a new alert is not created. My use case is that I need to monitor the bandwidth utilisation on this specific port on an ongoing basis and be alerted each time the speed exceeds say 100M. Appreciate any pointers to show me where I am going wrong. Cheers Mal

FW: Defining Groups
by mal＠platinumnetworks.com.au 24 Mar '18

24 Mar '18

Thanks Adam – Have updated to rolling (9128) and can see the groups is now different but I am still not seeing any members in my group ☹. I am thinking that the ruleset itself is not working because I created another group that does work using “device.hostname match *qld*”. Is the ruleset definition ‘port.port_descr_descr match *L3*’ correct if I want all ports with a parsed description including L3? My port description is something like… CUST: ABC Cust (Channel Wireless L3)…….. I was expecting the ruleset to match on *L3* and return results including L3.

Traffic Accounting
by mal＠platinumnetworks.com.au 23 Mar '18

23 Mar '18

Hi all - Have just upgraded to the subscription version and looking to understand what functionality I can get out of the traffic accounting. There are 2 initial aims I'd like to get some thoughts about. 1. Creating alert/email notification based on the outbound total traffic from specific ports. Example: if total outbound data for the current billing period is equal to 50% of quota, email customer. Similarly for say 75%, 90% and 100% of quota. 2. Configure bill to compare only outbound traffic to quota when calculating overusage. I am hoping someone may have tried previously and can give me some direction. Appreciate any thoughts. Mal

New device / custom graph
by Steffen Schwebel 22 Mar '18

22 Mar '18

Greetings o/ I have an instance with observium running and am trying to add a new device/graph for it. There seems to be little information for this. I tried looking into the mailing list archive as well at http://postman.memetic.org/pipermail/observium/ but get a 403. So, forgive me for asking again what must be a frequent question. My device is a PDU from "Gude" described by MIB GUDEADS-PDU818X. I can see that there are already devices from "Gude" in the source like "Gude Expert PDU" described by GUDEADS-PDU8110-MIB but so far I have not been successful. Are there any documents, guides or anything that you can recommend? Any help is greatly appreciated. Best regards, Steffen Schwebel

NTP agent issue

22 Mar '18

Howdy Adam, et. al., I've run into an issue with the agent ntpd script on certain of my servers where the command "ntpdc -c iostats" times out with no response. However, the equivalent command used with ntpq works fine and provides the correct information Witness: root@observium:/opt/observium# ntpdc -c iostats localhost: timed out, nothing received ***Request timed out root@observium:/opt/observium# ntpq -c iostats time since reset: 1116387 receive buffers: 10 free receive buffers: 9 used receive buffers: 0 low water refills: 1 dropped packets: 0 ignored packets: 0 received packets: 140116 packets sent: 145459 packet send failures: 0 input wakeups: 140118 useful input wakeups: 140118 root@observium:/opt/observium# Yes, that is actually on the VM running observium. For simplicity of minimum changes to the script, I made the following change: // START SETTINGS /// $ntpq = "ntpq"; $ntpdc = "ntpq"; // END SETTINGS /// End result is this: You can see where I made the change to the script yesterday afternoon. The related version of ntpd is: ntpd - NTP daemon program - Ver. 4.2.8p4 I don't know if you want to push this out as a change overall, but wanted to make you aware of this so that it's documented somewhere at least.
