by Simon Mousey Smith 17 Feb '17

17 Feb '17

Hi All, Im not sure if other people are having this issue or not, but since the caching has gone into Observium my alerts tab hasnt been working correctly? I’ve been getting the alerts perfectly fine! But the tabs are wrong? Attached shows the home page which shows I have an alerts FAIL, however when i go into the alerts page I have none? Also I haven’t been notified of a FAIL alert either? Caching bug maybe? Regards Simon

Custom OID and New Sensors
by Ing. Andrés Gallo 16 Feb '17

16 Feb '17

Hi there Just installed the Observium 17.2.8353 to monitor our network Great job! I need to handle a couple of issues: 1. Once I did Custom OID to monitor, How Can I set threshold or alarm limit to get an alert? For example, graphing fuel level, raise an alert on low value. 2. Some devices are recognized by the system-i.e. EATON SC Controller-, but sensors -voltage, current, power, etc.- are not. I can write a sensor.inc.php -same way as others into includes/discovery/sensors dir- but even with the debug option in command line, cant´t get it working. Any clue? Couldnt find the list archive ( mybe solved there, but....) link is broken Regards Andres.-

What is the procedure for moving observium to a new box? I know I’ve seen snippets of this in email before, but I am unable to track down a procedure. Also, are there any issues that would occur moving from Debian (currently wheezy) to Ubunut 16? Thanks, derek

Map marker icon size
by Ed Iwanski 15 Feb '17

15 Feb '17

We are adding quite a few locations to our install and after adding the first batch our front page map ends up with quite a bit of overlap while we have many more to add. It got me thinking if we could just make the individual markers smaller it would work better for us. Looking into the settings it seems there was an option for: $config['frontpage']['map']['dotsize'] = 10; Changing this seems to have no effect and a quick glance it does not seem to be used anymore Doing a little more digging in the code it looks like the html/includes/map/leaflet.inc.php has options defined to add the svg icons with static sizes with the following: var icons = { ok: L.icon({ iconUrl: 'images/svg/ok.svg', popupAnchor: [0, 16], iconSize: [24, 24] // size of the icon }), alert: L.icon({ iconUrl: 'images/svg/high_priority.svg', popupAnchor: [0, 12], iconSize: [32, 32] // size of the icon }), }; It seems just changing the values in iconSize: [X,Y] accomplishes what we would like to do to make the marker size a bit smaller and the maps to be more clear with many more sites added. Maybe 2 new example variables to allow a little further map customization? $config['frontpage']['map']['markeroksize'] = <value>; $config['frontpage']['map']['markeralertsize'] = <value>; Thanks, Ed

LDAP Debug Support
by Ryan DeShone 13 Feb '17

13 Feb '17

Can anyone point me in the right direction for debugging LDAP authentication? Running the most current stable release of the Professional edition currently on CentOS 7 (in our test environment). Upgraded PHP to 7.1, as the older PHP we had installed was not working, now I cannot log in. It just loops me back to the main page. I was also getting TLS negotiation errors (with a blank error message) though I seem to have solved that particular issue for now. I can't seem to figure out how to enable debug logging though so that I can find out what's going on...

Pro edition
by William Bauer 12 Feb '17

12 Feb '17

Not sure if this is the best place to ask these questions, but I haven't had any success with direct emails to keep this off the list. Might have sent them to the wrong address. I'm interested in getting the subscription, or Pro, edition of Observium. I've been asked to see if we can get an eval so we can determine if the enhancements either improve compatibility with Brocade VDXes, and/or if the additional features we would gain are of value to us. We are also a registered nonprofit in the US if that qualifies us for free access to the subscription edition. Thanks for any help!

Selectively enable polling fdb-table
by Ulrik Ivers 10 Feb '17

10 Feb '17

Hi, We have globally disabled polling fdb-table, i.e in in config.php we have $config['poller_modules']['fdb-table'] = 0; Now we'd like to selectively ENABLE polling of the fdb-table, but only on a subset of devices. Is there a way to do this? From what I can figure out it's only possible to do it the other way around, that is enable fdb-table polling GLOBALLY and then device by device DISBALE polling. But we'd like to have polling OFF by default and then selectively enable it on a few devices. Any ideas?

Is anyone familiar with this? http://blog.best-practice.se/2014/07/using-php-weathermap-with-observium.ht… Does it still work with the subscription version of Observium? Im having trouble making it work. I followed the steps to a T but... no luck. I even made a network map with 2 devices but I'm not sure that's even correct because the weather maps never load. It goes back to the regular index.php page Thanks for any tips -Daniel

Setting default sensor limits

09 Feb '17

Just wondering what the best way is to set the default sensor limits? For example, I would like to set the battery temperature sensor max to 50C for all of our UPS units instead of the current default of 91.36C which would basically mean that the ups has melted into the floor.

Customer's web portal for Observium
by Sophanith Chhom 09 Feb '17

09 Feb '17

Hi All, Is there an additional plugin for managing user and group for Observium? Or anywhere we can modify for user customer's portal purpose? Eg: For customer web accessing, we only provide normal user permission applied with limitted device or port access for that customer only and it should not display Overview, Grouping, Weathermap, Routing module.... anywhere we can disable that kind of module to accomplish? We just want a normal user see only device and port are allowed only. Please check as bellow picture Can we just disable these red box for normal user accessing? [image: Inline image 1] Thanks for your help.
