Cisco IPSLA (RTTMON)
by Leroux, Steve 09 Oct '14

Hi Observium Team, We've been running Observium Professional version for many months now. It's nicely designed and polished software. I would recommend it. We used to monitor with Cacti but now we are almost 100% with Observium. The IP SLA Jitter monitoring is great. (CISCO-RTTMON-MIB) Observium currently picks up and records this value. Object rttMonLatestRttOperCompletionTime OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.42.1.2.10.1.1 http://tools.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/BrowseOID.do?local=en&translate=Tran…<http://tools.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/BrowseOID.do?local=en&translate=Tran…> [cid:image002.jpg@01CFE3C7.D39750E0] We have 2 values missing in our IPSLA values that we monitor and we'd love to see in Observium. For us (and most likely others) the IP SLA is missing 2 critical values: (also in CISCO-RTTMON-MIB) http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios/12_4/ip_sla/configuration/guide/hs… 1. MOS - Mean Opinion Scores Object rttMonLatestJitterOperMOS OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.42.1.5.2.1.42 http://tools.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/BrowseOID.do?local=en&translate=Tran…<http://tools.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/BrowseOID.do?local=en&translate=Tran…> Sample Value from SW28-TIMWC01: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.9.42.1.5.2.1.42.10 = Gauge32: 434 2.

We'd love to have this in Observium and eliminate our need to have alerts in Cacti. Here's a sample of the MOS & ICPIF graph in Cacti. [cid:image006.jpg@01CFE3C7.D39750E0] Thanks.

Interface descriptions are blank
by Roman Romanyak 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Hello, We are using subscriber edition 0.14.9.5815, polling juniper QFX3500 switch (two switches - Virtual Chassis cluster). After adding the switch and running discovery.php, interface descriptions are recognized just fine, however when the device gets polled for the first time, all interface descriptions get removed. I checked it with snmpwalk and I can see interface descriptions in the output. Thanks, Roman. -- Roman Romanyak Network engineer

Mmm, fair point, although our particular hospital is millions in debt, so paperclips are banned. Who knows where all the cash goes..

They certainly spend more on toilet paper, or coffee, or pens, or paper, or paperclips (ok maybe not paperclips)...well just about anything. Especially on an annual basis. Very much worth it. _______________________________________________ observium mailing list observium(a)observium.org http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium

Adam, I totally see your point, and am surprised that it's only a 12% uptake to be honest. As an aside question - what methods of payment for the professional product are supported and how do I go about it? Still need to sweet-talk the boss but it's looking promising. Cheers - keep up the good work.

Glad it helped someone. Blown away by how decent this software is, I hope they keep up the community thing/open source thing. Companies like smoothwall have pretty much ditched their open source bit altogether which is a big shame.
