Hi team, Thanks again for releasing another CE version. I run this in my home lab so I always appreciate your updates when you are able to do this. I followed the steps as provided on your document site (https://docs.observium.org/updating), as I have done previously without issue. When I ran "/opt/observium/discovery.php -u" I got the following message. Any guidance when you have time would be a big help please. ====== ops! Something went wrong! You may want to report this to the Observium developers. syntax error, unexpected token "=", expecting variable in /opt/observium/includes/community.inc.php:5 Stack trace: #0: (unknown function) called at [/opt/observium/includes/community.inc.php:5] 1: <?php 2: 3: // stub functions for not exist features 4: function cache_groups() { return []; } 5: function get_type_groups( = NULL, = TRUE) { return []; } 6: function get_groups_by_type( = NULL) { return []; } 7: function get_group_entities(, = '') { return []; } 8: function get_group_entities_array(, = '') { return []; } 9: 10: // EOF #1: require_once called at [/opt/observium/includes/observium.inc.php:73] 68: db_config(); 69: $GLOBALS[OBS_DB_LINK] = dbOpen($config['db_host'], $config['db_user'], $config['db_pass'], $config['db_name']); 70: } 71: 72: // Include more necessary supporting files 73: require_once($config['install_dir'] .

device showing connection to switch
by Ivo van Tulden 22 Jan '26

22 Jan '26

Dear sir/mem, Within Observium there is a nice 'network map' view which shows al the network devices. Is there a view to show the connection from a device in this netwerk map view? A view that shows the connections to the network-switch it is connected?

host-description "<something>" setting on Dell S4148T will not register device correctly in Observium
by Chris James 22 Jan '26

22 Jan '26

If you have the 'host-description' set within the switch config on a Dell S4148T it will not register the switch correctly in observium. It will see it as a generic device instead. If you remove the setting it will register the switch correctly and you get the Dell logo plus extra information in the summary box for the device. I don't think this is anything that needs to be fixed per se - just a general observation. Chris Chris James Technical Lead, Vessel Production Systems

OcNOS Interfaces: Sensors Numbering
by Nicolas Korten 13 Jan '26

13 Jan '26

Hi Observium Team, we noticed that when monitoring IPInfusion/OcNOS Routers (at least on Ufispace s9510-s28dc) the Interface Sensors naming is incorrect, some items are offset by 1, and others are not showing up. For example, we have an interface with ifDescr="xe4" which is detected correctly in the ports/basic tab (see ports.png) - but in the Sensors tab it is detected as xe5 (see sensors.png - xe5 has no treansciever and is Admin Down on this device). Other ports are not showing up in the Ports/Sensors section, but they do appear in Health/dBm (see dbm.png). IPInfusion is starting the interface enumeration in ifDescr with 0 (ce0 is the first interface), and in the CMM-CHASSIS-MIB the interfaces are indexed by CmmTransIndex starting with 1. For example, xe4 receive power is at: .1.3.6.1.4.1.36673.100.1.2.3.1.22.1.5.1 (notice cmmTransIndex = 5) ce0 receive power: .1.3.6.1.4.1.36673.100.1.2.3.1.22.1.1.1 (notice cmmTransIndex = 1) Is there any option to fix this?
