Observium data mapping
by Martin Davis 03 Jan '18

03 Jan '18

Hi we are looking to pull various pieces of information from the underlying observium database with respect to the network components we are monitoring. Looking to find out if someone can point us in the right direction with respect to some documentation detailing the layout of the DB and commentary on the associated tables / fields, or a data dictionary. Kind regards, Martin.

Alerts on Aggregate values or sums?
by Darrell Budic 02 Jan '18

02 Jan '18

Bit of an RFE here, would like to be able to alert on the aggregate value for a group, or do sums in the alert checker test field, unless I’m just missing how to do this? My particular use check is adding up the total power for a 3 phase PDU (and a group for the power panel), and alerting if the total watts or amps are greater than 80% of the circuit capacity. Total Power Output on my APC 3 phase PDUs doesn’t work for me here because it’s dependent on the power factor of the connected devices, and that isn’t readily available in observium. Even if it was, I’d still need math (division this time) on two values. Sums/aggregates seem like the easiest route for this task. Thanks, -Darrell

multi device graph for sensors?
by Darrell Budic 02 Jan '18

02 Jan '18

Is there a way to get a summary (and sum) of a particular sensor? I’d like to have a one graph for all my PDUs with the apower attribute summed up for a total, see what the absolute # is. -Darrell

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

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.

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.
