Poller wrapper history stopped working
by Silvio del Val Hinojal 06 Oct '17

06 Oct '17

Hello, We have upgraded Observium from CE to Pro version following upgrade document, we are now running 17.9.8859 (stable) version and, since then, global "Poller Wrapper history" stopped working. Now it shows "- nan" in all fields. This is what it shows now: [cid:image002.png@01D33E9A.3B2E1D80] Any hint?

Multiple mailing options
by Franks Andy (IT Technical Architecture Manager) 06 Oct '17

06 Oct '17

Hi all, We have a scenario where we'd like, for certain alerts, to not only send via the default mail settings but also to forward to an external sms portal. This particular portal is fairly simple and works via sending an email to a certain domain with a phone number prefix. We'd need to use different mail settings for this purpose though and I was wondering if someone could think of the best way to do this. I can't really find many examples for the external script or web hook transport methods, and ideally we'd be able to do most of the configuration and filtering directly within observium rather than doing the messaging logic elsewhere. Thanks Andy

Alarm on VLAN?
by Ryan, Spencer 05 Oct '17

05 Oct '17

Hey Guys, Is there any way to write an alert check to alarm if a VLAN is seen on a port (either access or trunk?). We have a few "untrusted" networks that we want to know if they get stuck on a trunk somewhere they shouldn't be. Thanks!

I have posted on JIRA http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBS-2438 But just wonder if anyone has any solution for this issue, we have many site-to-site tunnel and in observium its just showing count but it would be good if it shows list of tunnel by name so easy to identify down tunnel and alert.

Graphs not rendering correctly
by Mal Evans 04 Oct '17

04 Oct '17

Hi all, Seem to be having a problem with the graphs on my new install (CE). See the example below: As you can see there are regular gaps in the display. I am wondering if this might have something to do with a polling cycle etc? not sure where to start investigating so any suggestions are welcome. As far as I can tell every graph shows similar behaviour. Cheers Mal

p2p radio detection
by Joey Stanford 04 Oct '17

04 Oct '17

Howdy, We noticed not that long ago that Ubiquity devices gained p2p radio detection. Is there any consideration for Ubutiks (Ubiquity RF + Microtik routerboard)? We have a number of these and the device_state array contains the p2p radio info just like the Ubiquity radios do. Discovery put the ubutiks into the network category like a normal mikrotik. We’ve been changing them over by hand to wireless for categorization. Thanks, Joey

Feature request: OpenBSD CARP and pf
by Tommy Nevtelen 28 Sep '17

28 Sep '17

Hi there! I would like to request CARP-MIB and PF-MIB support in Observium. Most importantly show if the CARP interfaces are master or backup. So we can get alerted. Maybe show it in the same way as Cisco ASA Active/Passive or some other better suited as you can have an arbitrary amount of CARP interfaces. And then the ability to graph the statistics from PF-MIB. The MIBs for reference: https://github.com/openbsd/src/tree/master/share/snmp Not sure if this is a lot of work or not though, hope some of it is easy enough :) -- Tommy Nevtelen

Is there an option to keep observium from "obsessing" over an alert? I would like to only alert once on failure and once on recovery, not every time it checks. -- Kris Kirkland ~ K5KRK 2B1ASK1 - http://goo.gl/5bU4F0

Hi, Please reply to the mailing list instead of directly to me. Also, can you make the image a bit smaller still? I can still read it if I really try...

Preferred MTA?
by Joe Brouillette 27 Sep '17

27 Sep '17

Hey all, I've been trying to get Observium to send alerts to my Exchange server. Wireshark on Exchange shows nothing so I just gave up, looked online and found a post from Adam saying to not use SMTP; he recommended using an MTA instead. Does Observium have a preferred MTA? Any to watch out for?

Hi,Observium Team: I'm a test engineer for Fiberhome, and we currently plan to write files for Fiberhome's network devices in community version software.

I hope our developers can join you later to develop this software and make it better.

Pandacom DWDM devices

Hi all Recently we purchased some DWDM devices from Pandacom (SPEED-OTS-5000). Might be interesting for more than us to have them in observium. Is there a way for a non-programmer like me to add those devices? What I can provide are the MIB files. If access to a device is needed for testing I'd like to use my contact at Pandacom Cheers, Andre

RRDTool Customisation
by William Hutchins 19 Sep '17

19 Sep '17

Hi All, What could be a silly question - Is there a straightforward switch or option to alter the RRDtool formatting from the default “opposing” format for Upload/Download, to an overlaid format in network traffic graphing? Current opposing format https://ibb.co/kbGcB5 Required Overlaid format https://ibb.co/nGJw4Q I’ve noted the config example in doco, however switching off the opposing view/feature wasn’t immediately clear. Thought I’d ask to see if the devs had a hidden php configuration switch for this, and if not, how others might’ve overcome this? Many thanks, Will

Issue with Search Function in BGP Sessions
by Gumilar Siegfried 18 Sep '17

18 Sep '17

Hello! I ran into a little issue today. If I am on page two of the BGP session list and search for a remote AS the search always comes up with an empty list. I guess this is caused by the "pageno=2" in the URL: http://x.x.x.x/routing/protocol=bgp/graph=NULL/view=details/pagination=1/pa…... If I remove the pageno=2 section in the URL I get the right result. Regards, Siegfried
