Hi When the CBQoS feature will be fully released? I am using the unofficial (?) feature in the CE edition (about below). I have purchased a subscription but the CBQoS isn't supported their yet.

Logging changes to Observium
by Josh Williams 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

Is there a way to log who is doing what whithin Observium? I would like to be able to tell who is adding or deleting devices, making changes to the config, or making any changes to Observium for that matter. I am not able (allowed) to lock down the config by making changes in the config.php. I have to keep the configs open to be changed by anyone on the team. This is truthfully a null point as the admin and root passwords are mandated to be stored in our team password vault anyway. I'd like a way to make others accountable for their actions. Thanks, Josh

User configurable device-specific Connect Via link
by Randy Schultz 09 Mar '18

Posted this earlier today in Jira as an Improvement but got to thinking I should have first emailed here... ***************** Am an MSP / MSSP that's new to Observium... See from the Device drop down the ability to Connect Via Telnet / SSH / etc to some of my devices (eg Vmware) but don't see this option for my (SonicWALL) firewalls. Would very much like to have the ability to manually configure a device-specific Connect Via link. For example... https://1.2.3.4 https://1.2.3.4:4443 I've looked through several of the MySQL tables where I thought I might find this info but couldn't find anything. Am I just missing it or is this not an option today? -- Randy Schultz

Hello all, First of all, i would like to tanks all people that made this great tool ! :) I'm still preparaing the migration from our old tool to Observium.

Migrating to a new server
by Josh Williams 28 Feb '18

28 Feb '18

We just purchased an upgraded server in which to host Observium on and I would like to know the “best” way to migrate over all of our monitored devices. I’m not concerned with any of the graphed data being migrated, or any of the old Observium config. I only want to do a mass export of all of the devices and their properties. Will a dump of the ‘devices’ and ‘devices_locations’ tables suffice? Are there other tables/directories/configs I need to be concerned about? Thanks, Josh Williams Bureau of Technology Management WI Department of Corrections

Hi, I can't say for Axis bit definitely success with Hikvision to a point. Observium does scan poll add the camera.

Down Ports - Device Reboots
by Art Stephens 28 Feb '18

28 Feb '18

When I first discovered and polled these particular switches (cisco and edgeswitch) the Ports that were down were not showing up on the device_status_boxes. Which is what I expected. But today the equipment at that site was power cycled when we switched over to generator backup while the electricians hooked up the new auto switch over equipment for the new permanent backup generator. Since then device_status_boxes shows all the down ports and that the devices rebooted. So they will not go away. Other software I used in the past had a mechanism to acknowledge them and they would go away. I can find no such mechanism here to clear these unused ports etc. It has almost eight hours and they are still there What am I doing wrong? -- Arthur Stephens Senior Network Administrator Ptera Inc.

disable SNMP device_status down as offline on frontpage

Hello, I recently ran into a kind of inconvenient behaviour with Observium alerting devices as offline when SNMP on Proxmox nodes gets unresponsive. I already created an alert checker including the condition ‘device_status_type match ping’ which is way more reliable for me in such case. Is there a possibility to disable devices shown as offline in ‘Status Warning and Notifications’ on the frontpage when device_status is offline due to SNMP not responding? Kind Regards, N.

Keepalived would be nice too, and has snmp functionality. :) Thanks Andy

Hello all, I'm currently testing the PRO version before deploying it in production in our environment. I will have arround 1500 devices, on which i only have SNMP access. This mean i can't set the location correctly on the SNMP agent BUT, thanks the this great tool, i can set it manually in order to group my devices by locations (arround 250). I'm going to integrate all the devices via a script, but i need to adjust the location for each of them. Is there is a difference by changing the location via the web gui VS changing it on the field 'location' on the 'devices_locations' mysql table ? Thanks in advance for your help. Rds, Tarik.

Unix-agent not working at remote nodes
by Luca Sasdelli 20 Feb '18

20 Feb '18

Hi Adam, indeed I don't have all software on the machine, but I've removed all scripts but 3 present services, re-run poller and the result is still the same: nothing. ------ Messaggio originale ------ Da: "Adam Armstrong" <adama(a)memetic.org> A: "'Observium'" <observium(a)observium.org> Inviato: 20/02/2018 18:24:26 Oggetto: Re: [Observium] Unix-agent not working at remote nodes Do you have all of that software installed on that server? I think you may have misinterpreted the instructions. Seems replying to mailing list posts isn't the only shortcut in evidence here... Adam

OpsGenie ObserviumV2 Integration
by Çağla Arıkan 19 Feb '18

19 Feb '18

Hi Adam, We talked about OpsGenie Observium Integration before. As you stated we developed a new integration that does not use generic webhook. By using the payload you sent to runscope we developed ObserviumV2. You can inform your clients that they can reach from "https://app.opsgenie.com/integration#/add/ObserviumV2 <https://app.opsgenie.com/integration#/add/ObserviumV2>" address. The integration is live now. You should fix the endpoint that you send the payload as https://api.opsgenie.com/v1/json/observiumv2 <https://api.opsgenie.com/v1/json/observiumv2>. When you fix that we will deprecate the old one. Regards, Cagla ARIKAN

Graphs not showing most recent data when refreshing
by Ian Armstrong 18 Feb '18

18 Feb '18

Hi, I have set Refresh pages to 1 minute and web pages are visibly refreshing, however, they do not show the latest data. The refresh just displays the same data between the "Data presets" value. It doesn't make sense to me: having a refresh but only showing the same data. The same problem is occuring for the Event Log display. I have checked around to see if I should be using a different value for Data Presets but they are all just for a particular time period. There is nothing for "Latest 6 hours" or some such this. In an older version of Observium it worked fine. Graphs always refresh to show the latest data. It is only now that I have installed a new version (a fresh install not an upgrade) that this problem has appeared. Many thanks for your help in advance. Version information is below. Versions: Observium CE 17.9.0 (25th September 2017) OS Linux 4.4.0-62-generic [amd64] (Ubuntu 16.04) Apache 2.4.18 (Ubuntu) PHP 7.0.25-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 (OPcache: ENABLED) Python 2.7.12 MySQL 5.7.17-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 (extension: mysqli 5.0.12-dev) SNMP NET-SNMP 5.7.3 RRDtool 1.5.5 Ian Ian Armstrong Principal Academic Staff Member School of Information Technology DDI: +64 4 830 3055 Email: ian.armstrong(a)weltec.ac.nz<mailto:joe.serci@weltec.ac.nz> URL: www.weltec.ac.nz<http://www.weltec.ac.nz/> WelTec Private Bag 39803, Lower Hutt 5045 Wellington, New Zealand [1504644128592_PastedImage]

Configuring email alerts not to send if top level device is down.
by Williams, Joshua L - DOC 16 Feb '18

16 Feb '18

Is there a way to configure email alerts to only send out emails about a device being down if the top level device is still up. For example we have multiple remote locations across the state, and if the router at the site goes down we don't need the other 50 emails alerts about all devices behind the router. We need some way to introduce a hierarchy to the alerting. Hope this makes sense.. Awesome product by the way. I really like it! Thanks.

Distributed Observium
by Luca Sasdelli 16 Feb '18

16 Feb '18

Hi all, just joined the ml, read latest posts but no answer found. It seems that Observium doesn't support a distributed monitoring architecture, e.g. mapping remote proxies to access entire remote networks remotely, from a central management (e.g. like Zabbix, NetXMS, OMD etc.). We work with lots of remote customers, so it would be really useful to have a complete overview of their networks. Cheers Luca

Class Map Names disappearing
by Ian Armstrong 16 Feb '18

16 Feb '18

Hi, I have configured class-maps on a cisco router. They are working fine ( policy and server maps also configured and work ). In the CBQoS display for the interface it shows traffic divided up into each class very nicely. To begin with it entitled each set of graphs with the class map's name. Now that has gone. Is there a fix for this? Another a related question, if I update the class maps the results are not shown in the CBQoS display. Do I need to do a rediscover or some such thing? I have been deleting and adding the device back in but that causes all the historical data to be lost. Help very much appreciated.

alerting XMPP chat room support
by niklaas＠0rb.it 15 Feb '18

15 Feb '18

Hello, I’ve setup alerting via XMPP, which works just fine for any chatuser-recipient, but it seems like sending notifications into a chat-room (e.g. room(a)conference.example.net <mailto:room@conference.example.net>) is not supported. Any hints if it’s possible to get it running or an implementation is planned? Kind Regards, Niklaas

Greetings folks, I've setup some alert checkers, one of them is from the example site and is for the memory usage greater than 85%. My issue is, I'm monitoring VM's within ESX and all of the VM's alert. [image: Inline image 1] If there is a way to remove the "Real Memory Metrics" from the alert that would fix my issue, does anyone know how to do this? Cheers, Steve

billing on power use?
by Darrell Budic 14 Feb '18

14 Feb '18

Is it possible to add billing on power usage for PDUs? Could be 95th based or just an average for the monthly time period. Would need to sum a group of devices, each with several phases of power, the “Power” in kW. Guessing this is something that would need a bit of development, would it be something we could sponsor to move forward? -Darrell
