Hi all, I was looking on the internet for a way to monitor our flexlm licenses, and observium seem that is having the ability to do it. How can I enable it? Thank you!

Mount points on windows
by Carlos Martinez 10 Dec '13

10 Dec '13

Hello, Is there a way to see mount point storage under storage on a windows server? I have a few exchange servers with all of the drives configured as mount points from the SAN as there are not enough drive letters to add them as local disks. Getting Lun ID's would be great help too. ________________________________ This message may contain confidential or privileged information.

MIB development
by Johnathon Voegeli 09 Dec '13

09 Dec '13

I am by no means a developer. We currently use a lot of AudioCodes MediaPacks and Mediants for 911 VoIP solutions and are in need of monitoring the traffic from them. Is there anyone out there that would be willing to develop the observium MIB integration for us? We would gladly pay if need be and supply the MIBs. Or could someone point us in the right direction if this is the incorrect place to ask? Thanks! Johnathon

Adding a MIB
by BERTRAND Adrien [BPCE Assurances] 09 Dec '13

09 Dec '13

Hi, Just a little question about adding a MIB from the CheckPoint Gaia OS to my Observium server : Do I need to restart the service ? Does the file need to have a specific name ? Can I put it in the "CheckPoint" folder directly, or do I need to specify a pointer ? Thanks by advance :-) Sincerely, Adrien BERTRAND Administrateur Sécurité du Système d'Information Information security administrator BPCE Assurances 88 av. de France, 75013 Paris Tel : (+33)1.42.79.47.81 [Description : Q_BPCE_Assurances.jpg]

snmp and unix-agent question
by Christos Panagiotakis 07 Dec '13

07 Dec '13

It might sounds stupid but I wanted to ask anyway. :-) The same way the snmp works for distro and parsing the distro data, using: extend .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.7890.1 distro /usr/bin/distro is there a way to use the same or similar for unix-agent ? And parse all the unix-agent data plus any local scripts through snmp ? The purpose to this is to parse the information of workstations behind multiple local networks with one single IP seeing the internet on every lan. So I can use NAT/port forwarding to get different snmpd ports for every workstation on one IP, but I cannot use unix-agent. Is there a way? Thanks in advance, Chris

Billing/Invoicing Integration Options
by James Bastnagel 06 Dec '13

06 Dec '13

Is anyone aware of any option--built in or 3rd party, that would automate or help in creating invoices based on a template to be sent to customers? I have traffic bills set up within Observium, but this only appears to be about 1/2 the battle. Thank you in advance! James

Database Query option in footer
by Teixeira, Mike 06 Dec '13

06 Dec '13

Hello, There used to be a database query option in the footer of the page that told you what database queries were used to build the page. I can't seem to find that option in the configuration options. Is that option to have that still available? I used that to see the relationships between the database tables. So in my data warehouse I could create reports concerning billing, links between switches, IOS revisions, etc. Thanks, Mike

Clarification
by Ryan Milton 06 Dec '13

06 Dec '13

I am not sure how the Unix agent works, or what It's supposed to do. Is it in case one can't get SNMP running-say like on an OpenBSD box? Or am I off?

Hello. Yes i looked into it and all premissions where ok. However I did remove all the devices that was in the system and readded them and then the Graphs that where blank started to live again. No idea why though. All billing graphs seems to be working also. Just thought I would add the solution in my case.

Thanks for reply. My idea was something on the lines with the following. If the free version worked with the 13.10 release and subscription release is more or less 6 months newer then that should have better support for 13.10 than free version. I could be wrong though. What kind of errors are people experiencing when using 13.10?

I installed the free version to get some feel for the software and after that went for a subscription. When I updated the release the graphs stopped working. I installed JPgraph and don't have the warning but for some reason the Graphs stay blank. Running fresh install of Ubuntu 13.10 I deleted the hole observium folder together with Apache webserver (I imagined I missed a step somewhere or similarly) And then reinstalled from fresh Still cant get the graphs to show. It polls nicely and I get the RRD files but for some reason it seems that they don't end up being graphed. Any ideas? Bästa hälsningar / Best regards,.
