Device not visible
by Gumilar Siegfried 25 Apr '17

25 Apr '17

Hello! We have a device that is no longer visible in Observium. It is not in the device list and the search function can't find it. I tried to add it again to Observium, but get this message: "Already got device xyz." Running "./discovery.php -h xyz" returns this: "WARNING: 0 devices discovered. Did you specify a device that does not exist?" Is there something wrong with our database? How to fix it? Thanks, Siegfried

Notifications in Hipchat
by Steve Pierce 21 Apr '17

21 Apr '17

I’m not sure if anyone else would find this useful or not, but this quick change to make Hipchat throw up a notification flag. If this is a horrible hack, I apologize in advance. [observium]# more ./includes/alerting/hipchat.inc.php <?php /** * Observium * * This file is part of Observium. * * @package observium * @subpackage alerting * @copyright (C) 2006-2013 Adam Armstrong, (C) 2013-2016 Observium Limited * */ $color = ($message_tags['ALERT_STATE'] == "RECOVER" ? "green" : "red"); // Default URL if not set if ($endpoint['url'] == "") { $endpoint['url'] = 'https://api.hipchat.com'; } $message = '<a href="'.$message_tags['ALERT_URL'].'">'.$message_tags['TITLE'].'</a>'; $message .= '<br />'; $message .= str_replace(" ", "", str_replace("\n", " ", $message_tags['METRICS'])); // JSON data $data_string = json_encode(array( "from" => $endpoint['from'], "notify" => 'true', //Added this statement "color" => $color, "message_format" => 'html', "message" => $message)); Thanks, Steve Pierce

Network map

Hi! Not sure if there's any development in regard to the mapping capabilities, but I fell over this one : http://www.cytoscape.org/ and there's a JS script (http://js.cytoscape.org/) that could integrate quite nicely with the data available in the Observium database. /Jesper

Cyan Z77
by Jay Hanke 19 Apr '17

19 Apr '17

I am having difficultly getting a Cyan Z77 to detect properly as a Cyan device in Observium. I noticed that the mib files came loaded in the mib folder with the initial installation. I have not added any add on modules yet. Running CentOS 7. Here is what my event log looks like 22h 19m 10.x.x.13 sysDescr -> 'Z77' 22h 19m 10.x.x.13 sysName -> 'z77' 22h 19m 10.x.x.13 sysObjectID -> '.1.3.6.1.4.1.28533.1.1' 22h 22m 48s 10.x.x.13 Device added: 10.x.x.13 (by user: xxxxxx) The device shows up as generic. Did I miss a setting someplace? Thanks, Jay

HyperV CPU usage
by Anthony Creed 19 Apr '17

19 Apr '17

Hello, I'm running some windows 2016 HyperVs and I'd like to get the CPU usage including the VMs so I can see which HyperV is overloaded and balance them out accordingly but what I get at the moment is just what the host is using which is about 2-5%. I know performance monitor can gather these status so is there any way to get observium to latch on to that CPU stst rather than just what the host is using?

Overview page - Statuses - Down Column issue
by Todd (Tech-Rat) 18 Apr '17

18 Apr '17

Hello all, I am running SVN revision 8457 from 2017-03-19. I noticed that the overview page on the Statuses Row, Down column, showed "2 alert" but when I clicked on the link it would show no entries. After looking at the code and contents of the SQL data I found out that I have two power supplies that have a "down" state. This is accurate. In html/includes/cache-data.inc.php line 439 the switch statement increments the $cache['statuses']['stat']['alert'] variable which is why I see the "2 alert" link which is correct. But the link from html/includes/status-summary.inc.php line 79 says: (Short version) generate_url(array('page' => 'health', 'metric' => 'status', 'event' => 'alert,')) I thought the extra comma after alert was odd but I added down and now the health page shows the two down power supplies. New version: generate_url(array('page' => 'health', 'metric' => 'status', 'event' => 'alert,down')) Thanks for a great product. Todd (Tech-Rat)

Collectd graph tuning
by Jesper Frank Nemholt 18 Apr '17

18 Apr '17

Hi! Not sure if other have the same issue, but my Collectd graphs show up occupying just half of the size compared to normal Observium graphs, plus the font size is so tiny that you can't really read it. I found in /opt/observium/html/includes/collectd/config.php that the following control the size of the graphs, and if I multiply the variable with 2 like in the example below, I get pretty close to the right size : // Array of paths when collectd's rrdtool plugin writes RRDs $config['datadirs'] = array($config['collectd_dir']); // Width of graph to be generated by rrdgraph if(isset($_GET['width'])) { $config['rrd_width'] = $_GET['width'] ** 2*; } else { $config['rrd_width'] = 270; } // Height of graph to be generated by rrdgraph if(isset($_GET['height'])) { $config['rrd_height'] = $_GET['height'] ** 2*; } else { $config['rrd_height'] = 120; } Clearly there should be a more precise way than just multiply with 2....I guess someone this list may know the proper way to solve this ? The other thing that I have not yet solved is the font size. How do I control the size so I can set it to something similar to what Observium uses itself for RRD graphs ? /Jesper

Device polling issue
by Cody Cook 13 Apr '17

13 Apr '17

Hi, I have been using Observium for a long time and I use it in my home. I have a pretty big lab network in my house. I get a lot of equipment for testing from my employer, NETGEAR. My discovery is every 5 minutes and my poller is every 2 or 3 minutes. Anyway, during discovery, the Processors on one of my products, WC9500, is constantly updating the event log, updating all processors to descr Processor vs descr Intel Xeon @ 2.00 GHz. Before I chose to inquire with Observium mailing list, I've been e-mailing back and forth with the wireless controller developers asking them to address the fact that out of all of my devices, the WC9500 is the only device that can't seem to keep the processor right, and keeps spamming my event logs. They immediately want to point blame at Observium, but I won't let them. Anyway, I just thought I'd check to see if anyone has also experienced any similar output during Discovery, and if you can give me any better clues to provide to my developers to show them it is an issue with the device and not Observium. In my testing to see how I could reproduce it, I spammed the device with snmpwalk requests to pull out the processor and it never faulted from "Intel Xeon @ 2.00 GHz", so I wasn't finding "Processor" there. Review screen shot to see event log for the device. Thanks for any assistance. Cody
