Hello, I've created alarm checker: os equals nxos hostname match *NET* ifType equals ethernetCsmacd ifAlias match *vPC Keep-alive link* And after a while i noticed that some entities where disapeared. The device was reachable and etc. I did a "rebuild' and they're reappeared again. What could be the cause ? NXOS ? :)

NetFlow Recommendation
by Oludayo Oyediran 20 Dec '17

20 Dec '17

Afternoon All, We recently purchased Observium after a recommendation from our Network Engineer, what Netflow software would you recommend to use alongside Observium? If you know any Open Source ones, that'd be awesome. I came across Nfsen but it's a tad too old. Also I have Observium talking to 6 out of 8 of my routers and SNMP is turned on on all of them. If you require any info please let me know. There are 7 Cisco x 1 Juniper routers and the affected routers are Cisco.

Multi year history
by Attila Nagy 19 Dec '17

19 Dec '17

Hi everyone! I was wondering about whether there is a recommended/approved/tested/tolerated way or plan of creating multi-year history (RRD data)? To reformulate it, changing the day/week/month/year history into something like day/week/month/year/10years... It's not a show-stopper, but sometimes there is demand to show or analyze historical data for more than 1 year in the past. Regards, Tylla

UNIX Agent graph history
by Attila Nagy 14 Dec '17

14 Dec '17

Hi everyone! We are using the CE version (17.9.0) so ignore my e-mail if this is already solved in the Pro edition. We started to configure the UNIX agent on a few of our machines and we saw that all the pop-up graphs in the Apps overviews are only showing the last 24 hours. Is this on purpose? Isn't there some possibility to make these graphs show the usual way (day, week, month, year)? Regards, Tylla

We noticed in the changelog that Netonix MIB was added. We have a Netonix switch but it was discovered as a generic device. We looked at the MIB list but we do not see the Netonix MIB in the list. Do we need to do anything special? Netonix WS-8-150-AC Observium 17.11.8942 (rolling) Thank you Travis

Problem with special characters on device descriptions / snmp location etc...
by Javier Valero 11 Dec '17

11 Dec '17

Hello We are using Observium CE as part of our monitoring systems at IslaLink / OranLink. A few weeks ago, we updated to the last CE version (17.9.0). Since then, we are experiencing problems with the interface descriptions that may contain some especial characters like “áóéñ…”. It also happens with the SNMP location string. Seems that this was an old bug that was already solved: Observium OBS-1396 UTF-8/ISO characters fail in SNMP location This is causing some events flood, and incorrect display. I attach some captures: [cid:image001.png@01D35C8C.F9C1C980][cid:image002.png@01D35C8C.F9C1C980] We tried to remove all special characters, but sometimes it’s not possible or easy. May this bug have emerged again? Thank you. Best regards.

How do I correct this time discrepancy?
by Joe Brouillette 08 Dec '17

08 Dec '17

How do I fix the time discrepancy between my Observium server and the Observium UI? Please see the attached screenshot. The time on my server is correct but the time displayed on the UI is off by an hour. Also, the "Uptime" shown on the attached screenshot shows "Down 8h 4m 59s." I checked the graph for this server and I see no downtime. Thanks, Joe Brouillette Computer Systems Specialist Link Transit 509.664.7643 jobee(a)linktransit.com<mailto:jobee@linktransit.com>
