Alert E-Mail Output
by Shon Elliott 02 Jun '17

02 Jun '17

Hello, Is it possible to adjust the alert e-mail output with which information it contains as well as who it's from? Is it also possible to use a text only shorter format for sending to recipients via services like SMS? Apologies if this has been asked for before. The ML archives aren't working/available and I didn't see this in the Documentation or FAQ anywhere. Kind Regards, Shon Elliott, KK6TOO

Comment field in alert detail?
by Johann Mallet 01 Jun '17

01 Jun '17

Hello, Do you have plan to integrate an comment field/system in alerting? By example : For indicate why we have muted the alert :-) For the moment, we have Google Sheet, but it's not really pratical... P.S : We can see history for specific alert? In alert detail, we don't find this. Many thank ! Johann

add_device.php ignoring port numbers - fix
by Brandwatch NOC 31 May '17

31 May '17

Hi All, I recently added a list of devices that were behind the same IP address but each had different ports forwarded for snmp . I couldn't get the ports to be accepted as a variable using the add_device.php, one of my colleagues fixed the script so that it worked . Here's the diff if in case it helps anyone. diff add_device.php add_device.php.orig 1c1 < #!/usr/bin/php -q --- > #!/usr/bin/env php 73d72 < $snmp_port = $add[3]; 75c74 < //$snmp_port = 161; --- > $snmp_port = 161; Version Information *Observium* 17.5.8580 (28th May 2017) *OS* Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 [amd64] (Debian 8.7) *Apache* 2.4.10 (Debian) *PHP* 5.6.29-0+deb8u1 (OPcache: ENABLED) *Python* 2.7.9 *MySQL* 5.5.54-0+deb8u1 (extension: mysqli 5.5.54) *SNMP* NET-SNMP 5.7.2.1 *RRDtool* 1.6.0 Regards, *Kevin Gee* Brandwatch | Network Engineer

Cisco Memory Polling (CISCO-ENHANCED-MEMPOOL-MIB change?)
by Mailing Lists 30 May '17

30 May '17

Hi, Noticed that what seems to be all of our Cisco kit is no longer showing memory information in Observium (Running 8562 rolling)? If I look at one example Cisco device properties, the MIBS section looks like this, which suggests CISCO-MEMORY-POOL is suppressed and CISCO-ENHANCED-MEMPOOL-MIB is enabled. [image: Inline images 1] The SNMP errors sections also looks like htis, suggesting the CISCO-MEMORY-POOL-MIB is timing out: [image: Inline images 2] Device overview page [image: Inline images 3] However for this device, when manually doing an SNMPBULKWALK for ciscoEnhancedMemPoolMIB (1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.221) the device doesn't respond to this object, however ciscoMemoryPoolMIB (1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.48) returns results. Snippet of poller debug from this device: including: includes/polling/mempools.inc.php ##### Module Start: mempools ##### SQL[SELECT * FROM `mempools` WHERE `device_id` = '17'] SQL RUNTIME[0.00047684s] o Module time 0.0008s ##### device [17] completed poller modules at 2017-05-30 09:36:56 ##### On a different Cisco platform ciscoEnhancedMemPoolMIB (1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.221) does return results from a manual walk, but Observium still doesn't show any memory objects in the device overview [image: Inline images 4] Second device MIB properties [image: Inline images 5] Snippet of poller debug from this second device: including: includes/polling/mempools.inc.php ##### Module Start: mempools ##### SQL[SELECT * FROM `mempools` WHERE `device_id` = '13'] SQL RUNTIME[0.00047684s] o Module time 0.0008s ##### device [13] completed poller modules at 2017-05-30 09:36:56 ##### Happy to provide full poller debugs directly so as to not share with the full list. Not sure if the issue is to do with the change in 8390? [FIX] Correctly suppress cisco-memory-pool-mib on devices where CISCO-ENHANCED-MEMPOOL-MIB is populated It's almost like the logic is backwards and the devices with enhanced Mempool support have the enhanced MIB disabled and devices without enhanced support have the enhanced MIB enabled? Any thoughts? Not sure if anyone else is seeing this? Thanks

device_status metric
by Ricardo Franco Cantero 29 May '17

29 May '17

Hi, I have a checker set up like this: device_status = 0 This gives an alert when the device is down. Unfortunately it gives lots of false positives, so perhaps I do not understand good enough how this checker checks if the connection is down or not ? What exactly does it check to see if the device is down? Kind regards, Ricardo Franco

500 error when rebuilding alert checkers
by Jay Christopher 24 May '17

24 May '17

Hey everyone, I'm in the middle of standing up a new observium box and running into an issue where I create an alert checker for port errors. After creating the new checker, I click on rebuild and then get an HTTP 500 error. Attached is a screenshot of the configuration of the alert checker. I'm running 17.5.8561 (rolling) but did occur in a previous release and was hoping that upgrading would fix it but did not. -- Jay

Temperature sensors

I’ve got a lot of equipment outside and as the weather flips from cool to hot to cool to hot I get a lot of alerts. I’ve got swings from 30 to 55 c. Is there a way to widen the auto generated limits across all system temperature oids? I tried adjusting the alert test conditions using arithmetic but I do not think it’s implemented. I tried this: sensor_value greater (@sensor_limit*1.25) sensor_value less (@sensor_limit_low*0.75) Justin

Stuck alerts for sensors and statuses
by Robert Williams 12 May '17

12 May '17

Hi, Following a series of device upgrades and reloads over the last couple of days; we now have some 'invisible' stuck alerts: I cannot seem to find them anywhere, clicking them produces a blank list and even if you click the "Total" column. In this example I clicked the number "605" under Statuses but I get a page which only shows 595 items - so 10 missing, which equals the number of phantom alerts exactly. We had this once before and it was to do with devices, which are set to 'Ignore' for their alerts. We have 42 devices like this (a mixture of Lab and workstations) which unfortunately, would be a very large amount of manual checking. So I'm hoping there is a better way and I'm just missing it? :) So - any idea how I can find/reset/clear these items? Cheers!
