Professional SVN updates failing
by Stephen Fulton 05 Jan '18

05 Jan '18

I have two separate instances of Observium Professional running at separate organizations and both have seen attempts to update using SVN fail over the last few days. user@host:/home/user# cd /opt/observium user@host:/opt/observium# svn update Updating '.': Authentication realm: <http://svn.observium.org:80> Observium Professional Repository Password for 'root': ^Csvn: E200015: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'http://svn.observium.org/svn/observium/branches/stable' svn: E200015: The operation was interrupted user@host:/opt/observium# I do not believe either subscription has lapsed (the date for each is later in the year IIRC). Any ideas what is going on? -- Stephen

LDAP/AD nested groups
by Richard Wigzell 04 Jan '18

04 Jan '18

Hello, we are running Observium Pro with the following and nested AD group enumeration does not seem to be working. [cid:image002.png@01D3856C.B5B0A050] We have it enabled in the config.php but only Users in the top level groups specified in the config['auth_ldap_group'] array show up, if put a group with users into one of the groups in config['auth_ldap_group'] then nothing. Enabled in config with twice the depth needed. $config['auth_ldap_recursive'] = TRUE; $config['auth_ldap_recursive_maxdepth'] = 6; Any suggestions would be useful.

Re: [Observium] HSRP event tracking
by Pedersen, Sean 04 Jan '18

I don't believe there is an HSRP tracker. It's definitely not in the sensor entity type. Sensors are things like current, dBm, fan speed, power, state, temperature, voltage, etc. There's a list of known metrics and attributes here: http://www.observium.org/wiki/Alerting_Metrics_and_Attributes Examples of values can be found in your MySQL database.

Some of the data is easy to pull via the API: http://docs.observium.org/api/ The database is not documented as far as I know /Markus Den 3 jan. 2018 13:26 skrev "Martin Davis" <martin(a)zarrdia.com>: Hi we are looking to pull various pieces of information from the underlying observium database with respect to the network components we are monitoring. Looking to find out if someone can point us in the right direction with respect to some documentation detailing the layout of the DB and commentary on the associated tables / fields, or a data dictionary. Kind regards, Martin. _______________________________________________ observium mailing list observium(a)observium.org http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium

Alerts on Aggregate values or sums?
by Darrell Budic 02 Jan '18

02 Jan '18

Bit of an RFE here, would like to be able to alert on the aggregate value for a group, or do sums in the alert checker test field, unless I’m just missing how to do this? My particular use check is adding up the total power for a 3 phase PDU (and a group for the power panel), and alerting if the total watts or amps are greater than 80% of the circuit capacity. Total Power Output on my APC 3 phase PDUs doesn’t work for me here because it’s dependent on the power factor of the connected devices, and that isn’t readily available in observium. Even if it was, I’d still need math (division this time) on two values. Sums/aggregates seem like the easiest route for this task. Thanks, -Darrell

multi device graph for sensors?
by Darrell Budic 02 Jan '18

02 Jan '18

Is there a way to get a summary (and sum) of a particular sensor? I’d like to have a one graph for all my PDUs with the apower attribute summed up for a total, see what the absolute # is. -Darrell

Alert chekers entites 'disapearing'
by Edvinas K 28 Dec '17

Hello, I've created alarm checker: os equals nxos hostname match *NET* ifType equals ethernetCsmacd ifAlias match *vPC Keep-alive link* And after a while i noticed that some entities where disapeared. The device was reachable and etc. I did a "rebuild' and they're reappeared again. What could be the cause ? NXOS ? :)

Hello. We would like to collect snmp traps from our routers and use them for alerting. However i cant find a way to do it? Has someone managed to get this to work? We are trying to get alerting to work with IS-IS neighbor up and down and so on. Best regards. //Gustav

false positive NX-OS alert ?
by Edvinas K 23 Dec '17

23 Dec '17

[image: Inline image 1] Hello, Is there any explanation - why this alert came up ? >From device sensors info now i see this information: [image: Inline image 2] The NX-OS stack (again) sent wrong condition information and alert generated by the "greater than 0" rule ? Is there are the way to minimaze these false positives ? Thank you.
