using hardware sensors
by Thoralf Freitag 19 Feb '17

19 Feb '17

Dear Observium community, is there any description of using hardware sensors? I've following issue. I'm operating a HP server with an Ilom under Ubuntu Linux. I configured in the device properties for ipmi: IPMI Hostname (IP address of the Ilom), IPMI Username (as configured at Ilom) IPMI Password, IPMI Userlevel (User) IPMI Interface (IPMI v2.0 RMCP+LAN Interface). Observium rekognized the sensors for temperature und fan speed. I did the same at an other HP server (same type) which is running ESXi 6.5 (HP customized Image). The Sensors are shown in the vSphre-Client and ESXi empeded host client UI. But for this host, Observium does not rekognize the sensors. How can this be explained ? Thanks. Lg. TF

Group with 500+ devices
by Karolis Birgėla 19 Feb '17

19 Feb '17

Hi, I have a problem with device classification to specific groups. We currently have 750 devices added in our network. Some users can only have access to specific devices, which led us to creating a group associated with them. The problem is, that more than 500 devices belong to the group, and when we attach this group to a user, it lags like hell. The main window of Observium loads slowly, and the search works very slow. I dont think that the server is incapable of proccesing this quickly It's a server with 80gb of ram, 24core cpu. By the way, admin accounts work perfectly . Is this a bug? Or something needs to be done in order? Let me know, thank you.

Ruckus Virtual SmartZone (vSZ) controller
by Philippe Laurent 17 Feb '17

17 Feb '17

It seems that either the Ruckus MIB changed, or my expectation of function is different than reality. We run the Ruckus Virtual SmartZone (vSZ) to control our AP's. At the moment, Observium provides just the local attributes (CPU, NIC, RAM, Disk) of the virtual machine, but it was my impression that I was supposed to get a much larger subset of data regarding AP's, configured WLANS, clients and traffic, etc. It appears in the MIB properties that the data should be available, but perhaps there's been a change of MIB from the Ruckus side (in which case I would also like to pay for getting that updated). Attached is a screenshot of the Device MIBs and SNMP errors as reported by Observium. If you require something else, please let me know. I am using the most recent software version for both vSZ and the APs (R600). Observium is updated from SVN daily(ish). If this requires more heavy lifting or outside of the scope, then please contact me offline for pricing and timeline, and I'll sponsor the additions. Philippe [image: Inline image 1]

Generate an BGP group with only like clue the interface description?
by Johann Mallet 17 Feb '17

17 Feb '17

Hello, We would like create alert on BGP sessions only on private peering. The only clue for detected these BGP sessions is the description on interface. But Observium seems don't can link session<->network ports. I don't find easy solution to match these sessions. Anybody have an idea? Observium seems to be able link one IP to network port. Is it possible for you add functionality to link BGP sessions (with their IP) to network port too? We could do a really great monitoring and see BGP sessions linked to the network port (on new tab?) :-) Johann

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.-

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 14 Feb '17

14 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!
