After updating to the latest version 18.5.9221 (stable) I ran the discovery.php -u to update it said (update syslog, may be long operation ~30-45min) after about 5 min I get an error Critical error: (2013) Lost connection to MySQL server during query. Restarting the service nor rebooting the server helps and I had to do a rollback from a checkpoint to get Observium to function again.

Did the revision update and my workstations are down now
by Joe Brouillette 19 May '18

19 May '18

Hey all, I did the revision update and I'm now currently at 18.5.9221. Since I did the update my workstations are all showing as down. I can ping them from my Observium server and I can run an snmpwalk on them from the Observium server. I tried running both ./discovery.php -d -h <some_host> and ./poller.php -d -h <some_host> and both of them have this warning: WARNING: 0 devices polled/discovered. Did you specify a device that does not exist? I tried to re-add a device but Observium says it has already been added. Am I missing something simple here?

Schedule alerting times

16 May '18

Hi! We are running Observium Professional 18.5.9221 (10th May 2018) and are on the way of using more and more great features of Observium. At the moment we are working on Alerting Rules and they are working great - but... Is there a way to schedule alerting in a way that we have e-mail alerting only turing working hours? Or inverted in a way that we have e-mail alerting between a time-slot for example 00:00 to 06:00 o'clock an 18:00 to 00:00 o'clock? Thank you in advanced! With kind regards Martin

Alert Checkers broken when caching is enabled
by Andrew Lemin 14 May '18

Hi, Not sure if this is special to our setup, but we have found that when we enable caching (with the cache driver set to Auto), the Alert Checkers page stops displaying. We have disabled caching again for now which has restored the Alert Checkers, so it's not a critical issue. But thought we'd share this finding. Thanks, Andy.

Expanded Eaton UPS Support - xupsEnvironment
by Mailing Lists 11 May '18

11 May '18

Hi, Would it be possible to expand the Eaton UPS monitoring support to include the contact sensors contained within 'xupsEnvironment' so we can alert on the open/closed state of the sensors? The device does appear to provide this information through SNMP (sensor 'type', 'status' and 'name' it's just not captured by Observium as best as I can tell. I can provide SNMP outputs, or possibly access to the device, as required to assist with this request Many Thanks, Tim C

Upgrading
by Joe Brouillette 11 May '18

11 May '18

Hey all, I can't seem to figure out how to upgrade my Observium to the new revision. I tried svn update but that didn't work. Per the Upgrading the Subscription Edition web page I tried svn update -r 18.5.9221 and when that failed tried svn update -r 9221 but that failed too. I was going to download the new installer but I didn't want to overwrite my current installation. So how do I upgrade my current Observium install?

LDP Neighbors, Syslog rules severity and program matching
by Jason Neighbors 10 May '18

10 May '18

Hi, We've been running r9073 (2018-03) for a month now and it has turned out to be a great addition to our environment. I was wondering if there are any plans to add support for MPLS LDP neighbor info in the routing pages? That is something we wouldn't mind paying a bit for. Also, regarding syslog rules, my rules to alert on message matches work great but I couldn't find mention in the doc examples of matching on severity or program name. Is it possible? Thank you. --- Jason Neighbors

SENAO (Engenius) support for dual band products
by Serge Caron 09 May '18

09 May '18

Greetings! Quote from Adam : "The archives died during a server move, and the mailing list software is voodoo, so they never came back". Apologies for asking something that is probably old news. The Community Edition ships with Senao (Engenius) MIBs dated 2013.11.25. This is fine for older devices such as the EAP9550 and we get proper data (such as number of wireless clients). However, it seems all modern dual band devices such as the (older) EAP600 and the (newer) ECB1750 always report 1 as the number of wireless clients (as well as other broken stats). Are there updated MIBs compatible to observium for these products? Regards, Serge Caron

observium graph not showing anything
by Nicholas 27 Apr '18

27 Apr '18

Hi, Good day. I have problem with my observium graph not showing anything. I aldi make sure the config.php does not have empty line, tried switching browser, give permission to rrd folder. but it still not showing anything. My /opt/observium/logs does not give any error. May I know how may I trobleshoot this? Attached is some information from my observium server. My setup is on centos7 and my monitoring device is a windows 10 latop. Also, in graph 2, the timing in the filter and the timing in the graph is different. (refer to graph2.jpg) I did perform time modification after setup observium and the time on the graph did changed to the correct time. But the filter is showing different time. I try remove the observium folder, and reunpack, drop database and recreate the database. Still the result is the same. I wonder if this is the reason the graph is not working. Really appreciate if anyone can help out on this. -- Thank you. Regards, Nicholas

Hi, These sensors are all below the "low warning" threshold. These thresholds should be set automatically by the switch, but Cisco sometimes drop the ball on this (and then hit it with a brick just to be sure). The first sensor's low warning threshold is 31C, whereas the current value is 19C, which is below that. You can manually set the thresholds for these entries in the devices's settings on the "sensors" tab. adam. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Wiethoff, Helge" <Helge.Wiethoff(a)thga.de> To: "observium(a)observium.org" <observium(a)observium.org> Sent: 2018-04-24 09:49:18 Subject: [Observium] cisco c3850 sensor warnings >Hi everyone, > >I have a small problem with our Cisco WS-C3850-24T-E switches.

Hi, Just two small enhancement requests ;) 1) We love the Search feature to search for IPs and MACs, a true time saver. And adding the ability to sort by the columns would be fantastic. After doing a search for all loopbacks for example, it would be great if we could sort the resulting list by the "Device", "Interface", "Address" or "Description" columns. The list currently seems to sort by "Address", but alphabetically not numerically etc. Use case example, I am programming some explicit-paths for some traffic engineering tunnels, and so I need to find the loopbacks of every router along the path to which I want to fix the TE tunnel. I can search for all loopbacks no problem, but we have lots or them as routers also have multiple loopbacks.. However I am just interesting in "Lo0" on every single router. So after doing the search for all loopbacks, if we could then just click on the "Interface" column heading, that would put all the Lo0's first.. voilà :) 2) We also love the simplicity and power provided by utilizing the [] {} () brackets on descriptions to store the values into the different database fields. But the CDR [] is limited. This is probably one of the most powerful features, as it allows you to not have to configure monitoring, but instead to only configure the network and monitoring then automatically does its thing and follows the network :) We would like to do more with the [CDR] field, but are hamstrung by the fact that the CDR is not converted into bits in the database. The star feature would be to create an alert checker that fires when utilisation breaches the configured CDR. We know this has been requested and requires some code reworking.. We just wanted to add our names to the list of users after this feature. Thanks again for your time and creating such a great project. Because it is so good we still have on our roadmap a desire to put in some time and effort to contribute to the project, and figure out all the OIDs and their mappings etc and attempt to write a page for showing LDP neighbours and various other MPLS things. Given time I am determined to get around to this ;) Best regards, Andy Lemin.

Re: [Observium] Autodiscover - LLDP discovery
by Adam Armstrong 18 Apr '18

18 Apr '18

The original design of Observium was to enforce valid hostnames. We no longer enforce this for adding devices (because some networks are run by insane people who like looking at huge lists of nearly identical IPs), but a lot of the autodiscovery code still uses sysName and forward dns lookups to verify if a device should really be autodiscovered. Changing this behaviour would involve time, so one would have to be persuasive with one's justification. :> adam. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Christian Eriksson" <christian.eriksson(a)advania.se> To: "observium(a)observium.org" <observium(a)observium.org> Sent: 2018-04-16 11:10:03 Subject: [Observium] Autodiscover - LLDP discovery >Hello > > > >Is it possible for Observium to add devices based on the management >address that is returned by LLDP if SysName does not resolve?
