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

24 Mar '18

Hey all – probably a dumb newbie questions so apologies… I am trying to define groups based on the contents of the port description. I am using this as a training ground before I move on to alert checkers! I have edited the port description to include L3 and I can see that Observium is retrieving the port descriptions correctly however I do not seem to be able to define a group correctly. I have created a group as below: i.e. Based on containing “L3” in the port description add to the group. I can confirm that there are 15+ devices containing “L3” – example… If I do a search on ports containing L3 I retrieve the full list of devices. I originally thought I had made the query too tight but I’ve tried a number of broad combinations and never seem to have any members found. I am using 18.3.9073 (3rd March 2018). What am I missing? 😊 Cheers Mal

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
by Ron Marosko 22 Mar '18

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.

Logging changes to Observium
by Josh Williams 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

Is there a way to log who is doing what whithin Observium? I would like to be able to tell who is adding or deleting devices, making changes to the config, or making any changes to Observium for that matter. I am not able (allowed) to lock down the config by making changes in the config.php. I have to keep the configs open to be changed by anyone on the team. This is truthfully a null point as the admin and root passwords are mandated to be stored in our team password vault anyway. I'd like a way to make others accountable for their actions. Thanks, Josh

Hi All Im trying to work out how to add power information to observium (manually as it doesnt seem to be picked up) I currently monitor a ap9212 power switch (network card is a ap9606) but it only gives me lan stats and no power information I found if I added the powernet-mib to my mid browser and then did a walk on the apc private oid .1.3.6.1.4.1.318 it revealed all sorts of information which is very useful! I can provide read access to the device if need be I would be so happy if we can get power statuses off these tho :D Regards Simon - Hestor Ltd

User configurable device-specific Connect Via link
by Randy Schultz 09 Mar '18

09 Mar '18

Posted this earlier today in Jira as an Improvement but got to thinking I should have first emailed here... ***************** Am an MSP / MSSP that's new to Observium... See from the Device drop down the ability to Connect Via Telnet / SSH / etc to some of my devices (eg Vmware) but don't see this option for my (SonicWALL) firewalls. Would very much like to have the ability to manually configure a device-specific Connect Via link. For example... https://1.2.3.4 https://1.2.3.4:4443 I've looked through several of the MySQL tables where I thought I might find this info but couldn't find anything. Am I just missing it or is this not an option today? -- Randy Schultz
