observations on link flapping
by Edvinas K 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

Hello, Observium did a very good job providing such a good application for monitoring network state. I'm very thankful for that. But ofcourse some pieces are missing. For example monitoring of interfaces flap. I wanted to ask - what is you solution to monitor a link flaps ? Do you do SYSLOG monitoring for that ? Or some kind of separate SNMP-TRAP software ? can you give any recommendation ? Thanks

Hello, I think observium can, but not sure how to monitor a Power Supply count on each device. For example every device have 2 PSU's. Even the observium graphs are showing that count. So, how it's possible to add the PSU count as the alert checker ? I think im lost in entities world.. Thanks

Syslog alerting
by Tero Kykkänen 13 Nov '17

13 Nov '17

Hi, We have Observium Version 17.11.8943 installed on a Linux 4.4.0-98-generic [amd64] (Ubuntu 16.04) server. We made syslog integration with syslog-ng and tried to do syslog alerting but we can't get it to work, for some reason it says "No logging alert entries found!". We do see those alerts in the syslog tab but not on the alert tab. [cid:image001.png@01D358A4.9932F210] [cid:image002.png@01D358A4.9932F210] I will happily give more information if needed.

Problem with PoE status indicator on a HPE 5130 switch
by Thomas Stather 10 Nov '17

10 Nov '17

Hi I am having a problem with a PoE status indicator on a switch which is used in our datacenter: Observium: Observium Professional 8930 (stable) Switch: HPE 5130 48G PoE+ 4SFP+ 1-slot HI Switch JH326A This is a switch cluster containing 2 switches via IRF. Initially, PoE was only enabled on the first one but approx. 1 month ago it was enables on the second switch as well. However, the sensor "PoE group 7" (which is used for the second cluster member) shows the status as "off" with a value of 2 (whereas "PoE group 4 " is showing "on" with a value of 1 as it should be). Is this an error maybe and how can i fix this false-positive? Thanks in advance!

Observium Installscript
by Markus Klock 10 Nov '17

10 Nov '17

Hi guys, I got tired of doing the Observium setup everytime when I installed a lot of VMs so I wrote an automatic installscript for installing Observium It works for Ubuntu 14/16 and Debian 8/9 and it also gives you an option to install the unix-agent and have it monitor itself with the Apache and MySQL-app. I would love to have it tested in more environments so if you are about to install an Observium somewhere, please give the script a try. You find the script here: https://github.com/ZerxXxes/observium_installscript (please don't read the code, its a ugly mess) /Markus

generation of false alarm ?
by Edvinas K 10 Nov '17

10 Nov '17

Hello, What could be the reason of the generation of false alarm: *ALERT* Modify <http://10.13.40.217/device/device=382/tab=alert/alert_entry=7751/> *Alert* *MoreThan80PortUtilization* *Entity* *Ethernet1/51 <http://10.13.40.217/device/device=382/tab=port/port=1694030/>* *Descr* NXOS1-ITXx2 *Conditions* ifOutOctets_perc ge 80 (395649) *Metrics* ifInOctets_perc = 11 * ifOutOctets_perc = 395649* *Duration* 10m 8s (2017-11-08 02:18:10) As you coud notice the *ifOutOctets_perc = 395649 * shows some irregular value, which's not on the graphs itself, but the alarm is generated. During migration the migration period from old observium server to new one, at same time we have two observiums running, so older one have the same alerts configured - but that (older one) haven't generated any false alarm. So - waht could be the reason ? Thanks!

Multi-Site

Has anyone looked at setting up a multi-site with Observium or do you just setup at different locations? We have about 40 locations many are not connected via VPN because of business need. We were looking at Zenoss because it has a master/slave but really prefer observium setup and simplicity.

Delete an associated Device from an Custom OID

Hi, according to http://docs.observium.org/customoid/ there should be a delete button next to associated devices in the Custom OID List. This is not the case on my system. Am I missing something? Is there another way to delete an association? My Observium Version 17.10.8930 Kind regards Andreas Oberreiter

resetting sensors doesn't work (Observium 17.5.8580)

I tried to re-add it, but when i select the devices in the custom oid setup i got a red message: "ERROR: Unable to add OID association" I found a similar bug that is closed already: http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBS-2445 but looks like it is closed.
