Support of Lexmark printers
by Jama Solomo 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

Status: Currently no subscription. Hello! we have a bunch of Lexmark printers spread around the entire company. We are looking for a software to monitor the remaining toner capacity. I have tested Observium. A real nice software. However we got only the typical information like CPU, storage or RAM usage. No information about toner. Question: Is the support of Lexmark printers on the road map? Thank you for feedback. Regards Jama

question about Disk I/O page
by Joshua Elson 19 Nov '13

19 Nov '13

Hi All, I am new to Observium and love the product so far. I am looking at the Disk I/O page and trying to figure out the legend. Could somebody please explain what the k, M and u's stand for? Is it kb, mb or thousands and millions? What about the u? Thanks in advance!

Re: [Observium] Stable vs Trunk

I am !! In a production environment we may avoid bugs and more risky problems (like an insane SNMP discoverer, or something like that). So I'll be interested in a stable branch, regularly updated :-) I think the most important things are : 1) Stability 2) "Silence" - in terms of not talking too much on the network 3) Performance 4) Without less information or functionality than the latest updates Regards, Adrien BERTRAND Administrateur Sécurité du Système d'Information Tel : 01.42.79.47.81 Interne : 5.47.81 [Description : Q_BPCE_Assurances.jpg] ************************************************************************** From: Tom Laermans <tom.laermans(a)powersource.cx<mailto:tom.laermans@powersource.cx>> To: observium(a)observium.org<mailto:observium@observium.org> Subject: Re: [Observium] Stable vs Trunk Message-ID: <528A414B.5040501(a)powersource.cx<mailto:528A414B.5040501@powersource.cx>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Hi, > As it turns out, waiting for a bit of software to feel un-buggy enough > to call stable is a little bit like chasing a magic dragon in a > pharmaceutically-enhanced dream, a largely unattainable goal.

Stable vs Trunk
by Adam Armstrong 18 Nov '13

18 Nov '13

Hi All, When we started the new SVN setup, I had envisioned dropping trunk to stable every couple of weeks when I felt it was un-buggy enough. As it turns out, waiting for a bit of software to feel un-buggy enough to call stable is a little bit like chasing a magic dragon in a pharmaceutically-enhanced dream, a largely unattainable goal. It's a little difficult to gauge stability when we have half a dozen commits per day! Are any of you using the stable branch, and if so, how often and under what conditions would you want me to merge changes? adam.

Hello, my observium lab was on 0.12.10.3399. I have some problem with my graphs but it's not a problem i just did a fresh install on new server with last observium version 0.13.10.4721. The tutorial was great and my install work perfect. When i start to add my devices i had some error. Some device have the same system name and when i tri to add them, the 2nd one don't work. "Already got device with SNMP-read sysName (system.name)" I didn't get this on my lab.

billing module not loading three javascript files
by Rutger Bevaart 18 Nov '13

18 Nov '13

Hi all, In my Observium I have issues with the billing graphs where only the quick graphs are loading correctly. The browser inspector shows: Failed to load a resource : A server with the specified hostname cannot be found : http:<my hostname>js/bootstrap-loader.js Failed to load a resource : A server with the specified hostname cannot be found : http:<my hostname>js/bootstrap-tab.js Failed to load a resource : A server with the specified hostname cannot be found : http:<my hostname>js/billing.js It looks like the ‘/‘ after the hostname is missing… Tried to find where this is set and found three files in html/pages/ called: bill.php.inc bills.php.inc packages.inc.php Manually adding a ‘/‘ there does not solve the problem, and then I’m at the end of my l33t observ1um debug skills. Choosing an “transfer graph” gives a “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500” in the inspector for the graph after the other three above, but it might be totally unrelated. Quick graphs work fine. Anybody encounter this too? regards, Rutger

As this is only an issue when adding certain devices, we could make this a commandline option to addhost.php.

Alert notmatch help
by Kevin Cackler 16 Nov '13

16 Nov '13

I would like to run an alert for disk space usage on all of our machines, but want to not alert on our /backup drives (They get alerted at 90%). What do I need to put in the entity field to achieve this? I see theexample in the wiki for mempool_descr match *processor for your example memory check, but it's unclear where mempool_descr comes from. What would be the equivalent for the disk mount point?

Hi, We use Gude products (http://www.gude.info<http://www.gude.info/>) to monitor the power usage of our servers. Specially the two models below: - Expert PDU Basic 8111 (http://www.gude.info/en/power-distribution/elementary-pdu/expert-pdu-basic-…) - Expert Power Control 8211 (http://www.gude.info/en/power-distribution/switched-pdu/expert-power-contro…) Is there any plan to support graphing of power usage on such devices ? Can we contribute to develop the module to graph such devices ? If yes, how ? Thanks in advance for your help and have a good week-end. Christian Blumer

Can't get alert to trigger
by Kevin Cackler 14 Nov '13

14 Nov '13

We are just now setting up our alerts for the first time and cannot get even our most basic one to alert successfully. We added an alert checker applied to all devices and all entities. The condition is storage_perc gt 80. We then regenerated our alerts and the alert was assigned successfully to all of our devices. On the alert page that shows a summary of the alert and the devices that it belongs to, I see all of our devices listed and all of them have a status of OK even though one of them is currently sitting at 87% utilization. If I mouse over the "state" column for that entity, it confirms that it is at 87 right now. What are we doing wrong? Why isn't this alert triggering?

Alerting in the Open Source Version

Hello, I'm currently using the most recent OS version of Observium, and am curious if there is any additional documentation for setting up email alerts (other than http://observium.org/wiki/Configuration_Options#Alert_Settings ). I remember there was a kickstarter earlier this year with the end goal of being able to provide alerting for Observium - was this just going to be for the SVN/subscription version?

Non-snmp Devices
by Cory Thibault 13 Nov '13

13 Nov '13

Hello, Is it possible to add non-snmp devices? Say I need to monitor a specific website for uptime but don't have snmp level access. I looked up the services check however from what I understand it still relies on the device being added the usual way which requires snmp. Assuming I can't add non-snmp devices, could someone point me in the right direction on extending Observium to add this functionality? Ultimately, I want 4 monitors: ping, tcp protocol checks (custom ports), http(s) (simple or with response analysis) and ssh. If I can do that, then graphing the results will be trivial. I realize there are other tools that have these features but I prefer the Observium interface. Cheers, Cory

Problems populating graphs

I'm trying to setup an airport extreme. I think I've successfully set it up both from the command line with add_device.php and from the web page, (I deleted it and then added it). The static info for it appears but any graphic info doesn't. All the graphs are empty, showing Nan rrdtool dump yields Nan for all data other than static info.

+1 re: bsd
by Rob VanHooren 07 Nov '13

+1 (++good) for a maintained BSD port. but draw the line at slowaris or other nasty *nix. there’s a reason AIX is a homonym of “aches”. alternatively, go the IncrediblePBX route, call it “embedded” and pack it into a VM. ideally, both … if embedded BSD is good enough for StatSeeker, pfSense, or FreeNAS; it’s good enough for us! LOL. by some unfathomable logic, packing up something into an OVF container (along with replacing bash with busybox, and tossing phone-home/updates into a cron job) is an acceptable way to avoid the political agony of introducing Obs into some brain-dead enterprise ‘doze-only shops that forbid OpenSores. ps adam — suggest any future “enterprise" license (if any) should be $8,500/year for those types (under $10k tax-in, so you stay at the discretion boundary of 1st-level budget approvers). Plus another 30% for next-business-day email “support” maintenance. Otherwise, they’ll think you’re just kidding. (keep it the Exact Same Thing as the svn version, but it just costs more … because somehow, that makes it legitimate! ) $0.02 R.

Graph Gaps - aka I've horked something

Hi all, Yesterday afternoon I added several devices and since then I'm getting gaps in *all* my graphs. Even those for the localhost. I upgraded to the latest (commercial) version, just to check, and still having issues. I'm not quite sure what to make of this. I have nfsen and cacti running on the same box and their graphs all look ok so it seems something specific to observium. My disk io is a bit high but not too bad, cpu is good, ram is fine. See attached screen shot for example of gaps. 8gb of RAM Ubuntu 12.04 750gb sata disk (ST3750640NS) Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5450 @ 3.00GHz *couple of notes* - a few days ago I tweaked some mysql settings < #table_cache = 64 --- > table_cache = 600 65c65 < query_cache_size = 16M --- > query_cache_size = 32M - Also in order to group some devices together I manually edited the observium.device.location column in the db for some of the devices. Thoughts? Direction? Thanks all! --chip -- Just my $.02, your mileage may vary, batteries not included, etc....

Disable default maps location
by Jason Lixfeld 06 Nov '13

06 Nov '13

I have a few hundred devices that I will be working on adding sysLocation to. It'll take some time, but until that's done, is there any way to disable the default location for unknown location devices and still be able to see the one the map that do have sysLocation? Seeing all those in the middle of the Atlantic is a little useless to me :) Thanks!

Compensating for hostname changes
by Jason Lixfeld 06 Nov '13

06 Nov '13

My company wants to institute a naming convention change and as such, we'd need to update the hostnames in Observium to match. I presume that Observium will not magically update anything if a hostname changes, and I'm sure others have gone through this activity in the past, so I'd like feedback on what's the best way to go about it and any caveats. From my very limited perspective on the matter, I think all I need to do is change the hostnames in the hostname column of the devices table in conjunction with renaming the $observium/rrds/$hostname to match the change. Yes? No? Maybe So? Thanks in advance.

ServerTech Sentry3 Graphs & Infeeds
by KELLY, Christopher 05 Nov '13

05 Nov '13

Hi guys, Hoping someone can point me in the right direction or lend a hand – I have installed Observium CE 0.13.10.4585 to RHEL 6 and have it up and running. Added a couple of power rails, however none of the graphs are populating (no network traffic, uptime or voltage). But, all of the devices added are reporting back their current load and status. [cid:image001.png@01CED48E.68EA1960] [cid:image003.png@01CED48E.68EA1960] [cid:image004.png@01CED48E.68EA1960] Also noticed that Observium is only reporting on 2 of the 4 Current Infeeds (as per 1st screenshot) – is there a way to enable Observium to display the other 4 feeds? [cid:image005.png@01CED48E.68EA1960] Cheers! ________________________________ This e-mail is sent by Suncorp Group Limited ABN 66 145 290 124 or one of its related entities "Suncorp".

Upgrade to 4737 broke some graphs
by Chris Pelling 05 Nov '13

05 Nov '13

Hi Guys, Upgraded today using "svn update" to 4737 from 4760 and 2 switch graphs (dell) stopped showing data, cisco, vyatta and one dell unaffected. For example, we have 2 x Dell M6220 stacked blades *a and c* and 1 x Dell M6348 stacked blade switch all in M1000e chassis. a = worked before and after, graph looks aok b = worked before, now stopped c = worked before, now stopped An interesting observation, if I drill down to a port on B, and click realtime, its showing realtime information - so we know that works. Billing also seems unaffected, just the graphs at : /devices/type=network/format=graphs/graph=bits/ stopped for these 2 devices (albeit one is identical to a working device) exactly at the time of upgrade. I confirmed we did do the upgrade as per the wiki : svn update ./discovery.php -h none So now stumped, what can I do to get them back showing the current data (they have the historical few hours before update) and/or what can I run to aid in finding a poss issue ? :-) -- Kind regards, Chris

Re: [Observium] Alerting...

There is a page on the wiki explaining the basics. Its still a bit of a work in progress, but some people already find it useful... Adam.
