bgp bogus down && bogus saturation alert
by Rob VanHooren 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

greetings. 1./ odd that bgp peer is still shown as "down" even when the peer is admin down (neighbor xxx shut) 2./ also looks like $config['alerts']['port_util_alert'] = TRUE; doesn't self-quash if the device that the port belongs to is set as IGNORE. … anyone care to verify? r4182, fwiw. tks, R.

mysql app
by andres fariña 08 Jul '13

08 Jul '13

Hi all, Please give a help here, I´m adding mysql app to a host. I have configured the agent at host and telnet to 36602 is ok. I also enabled unix-agent at modules for that host And I see it at polling: [mysql] => a0:4033341 a1:4020805 a2:120 a3:120 ... But I still get no images, just the message "Error drawing graph". What could be missing here? Thanks, Andrés

Bulk Addition of Hosts?
by David Lagace 08 Jul '13

08 Jul '13

Hello, I'm new to Observium and coming from Zenoss I have to say I love the simplicity and completeness of all the information available. I'm just stuck on one issue. I've added the hosts I want to monitor to the /etc/hosts file and have successfully added a few hosts manually. I've been reading through the wiki and looking through google and can't seem to find a way to bulk import hosts. I tried to script it in the following way (please don't hurt me I'm not much of a coder) for file in `cat routerdt1`; do ./addhost.php "$file" mycomm v2c; done But keep getting: Could not resolve i504562 i504562 being one of the hosts in the list routerdt1. If I run the addhost.php script manually it works. ./addhost.php i504562 mycomm v2c Trying community mycomm ... Discovering i545973 (42)i545973 42 ios (cisco) (etc etc) The file routerdt1 is in the format: I553476 I553500 I553364 I553173 I553274 I542788 I554040 I554398 I554488 Is there a way to take my list and add them into Observium? Am I missing something where there could be an auto add function? Thanks for your help on this, looking forward to using this product more. --Dave

[ip_nets] => Array
by Jordan Paschalidis 08 Jul '13

08 Jul '13

Hello, i recently installed observium and it is amazing. There is one thing i found under "Global Settings". [autodiscovery] => Array ( ... [ip_nets] => Array ( [0] => 127.0.0.0/8 [1] => 192.168.0.0/16 [2] => 10.0.0.0/8 [3] => 172.0.0.0/8 ) Shouldn't the Entry "172.0.0.0/8" be "172.16.0.0/12" ? I know that the question " Can the monitoringintervall be changed, e.g. 5 min to 1 min" was already answered and the answer was "No". I just wanted to note that this is really sad, because 5 min is quite long for a fast changing parameter like Ethernet. We were monitoring a Gigabit-link with different intervalls ( cacti ) , with 5 min, 1 min and 10 sec The results are really surprising. For a special intervall of 40 min with Peaks the result was with 5min-monitoring 200 Mbit/s 1min-monitoring 350 Mbit/s 10sec-monitoring 610 Mbit/s -- Jordan Paschalidis *** XCOM AG Legal Disclaimer *** Diese E-Mail einschliesslich ihrer Anhaenge ist vertraulich und ist allein für den Gebrauch durch den vorgesehenen Empfaenger bestimmt.

Publish single graphs without authentication
by Stephan Dahlmann 08 Jul '13

08 Jul '13

Hi, I am looking at Observium as an alternative / addition to Cacti and it looks really nice so far. One thing I do with Cacti is publish single graphs of bandwidth on core routers and switches to websites (or wikis), so that other people can see that current usage very fast without having to access Cacti. This works by giving a guest (means: no login) read access and then just using the URL for the graph (e.g. .../graph_image.php?local_graph_id=330). The last part is as easy in Observium (../graph.php?type=port_bits&id=150&height=200&width=600), but I don't think there is an easy option to do this without authentication. Any idea on how to accomplish this? Thanks

Hello, We rebooted our Observium box last night and now some of the graphs are missing some or all historical data. Is there a way to recover/reset these? Thank you in advance. James
