General Question - Raritan PDUs
by Derek Johnson 14 Sep '23

14 Sep '23

I'm curious if anyone on the listserv is using a Raritan monitored-per-port PDU? If so, would you be willing to share your experience monitoring it with Observium? We're looking at buying some monitored + switched per-port models, and I want to make sure we can graph each port individually like we can with other vendors. I assume we can, but I figured it can't hurt to ping the community to see if others have any experience they're willing to share to confirm/deny my assumption. Thank you for any info you can offer!

Custom OID troubleshooting
by Brad Bendy 11 Sep '23

11 Sep '23

Got a custom OID setup and graphing for a single device, nothing is showing up in the graphs but snmpget verifies the OID is correct. I think the text OID might be incorrect. Is there a debug log for this somewhere? This is the Professional edition. Thanks

Need help on migration
by Anthony Polselli 08 Sep '23

08 Sep '23

Hi all, Been using Observium for many years and it's been great. But finally trying to migrate it to a new server running Ubuntu 22 (from Ubuntu 14) and it's been a struggle. I've followed these steps (https://docs.observium.org/server-migration/) but I'm not a Ubuntu / MySQL tech. I built a new Ubuntu server, installed Observium with the script and was able to login. Now, after I restore the rrd files and MySQL DB, I can't login to the web interface. I setup debug and got this below. I tried adding a new user with adduser.php and it looks like it worked, but can't login still. Thanks!

How to filter only fibre network ports in an alert for link down?
by Thomas Stather 25 Aug '23

Hi, I want to create an alert for network ports that are down, but only associate the alert with fibre ports in our network infrastructure. I didn't find something like "ifPortType = fibre" or similar i can use. I could go with the interface speed but there could also be 1GBit fibre ports. How can i solve this?

Graphs not collecting data after a route reboot
by Shawn L 22 Aug '23

22 Aug '23

After having a Cisco ASR9001 router reboot over the weekend, some graphs are no longer displaying data and new graphs have been created. Some graphs like processors, memory, etc. are populating correctly, while others like traffic and ports are empty. This router has been in observium for years. The only thing that changed was a reboot over the weekend due to a power issue. No upgrades, changes, etc. In some cases, the "old" graph for an interface is showing nothing, but a new graph for that interface seems to have been automatically created and is now showing data. Is there any way to fix this? I could probably delete the device completely and re-add it, but I hate to loose all of the historical data from it. I can post links to screenshots to illustrate thanks

observium misidentifying Microsoft Server 2022 Standard for Datacenter

When I go to those servers and look at "about pc" they list as Standard Edition(as they should be). Can you please review your OS ident for Microsoft server 2022 Thanks Tony

Question about VRFs/BGP

Hello, Our network engineers have a question about how Observium handles BGP sessions in multiple VRFs: > On IOSXR devices where we use mutliple VRFs, we are unable to monitor > BGP sessions outside of the global routing table. In the global > routing table only the bgp sessions to the route reflectors are > visible. We would like to also be able to monitor bgp sessions in a > different vrf. Going through the documentation we have added the > commands for IOSXR to map a context to the vrf feature - but this does > not appear to be working for bgp. We can create snmp contexts and map > them to a different community to monitor those vrfs that we would like > to include. BUT it appears that in order to utilize them we would have > to add the host twice in observium. I tried doing this with a dns > alias but it doesn't like that because it finds a conflicting snmp > hostname. As a workaround we are monitoring that context in librenms > and it's working.

Overriding Alert Transport Parameters
by Milton Ngan 16 Jun '23

16 Jun '23

Is it possible to override the alert transport parameters? In particular, I want to include the ENTITY_DESCRIPTION into the summary field for Pagerduty. When I put in this line into the config.php $config['transports']['pagerduty']['notification']['request_params']['payload']['summary'] = 'ALERT: [%DEVICE_HOSTNAME%] [%ENTITY_NAME%] [%ENTITY_DESCRIPTION%] %ALERT_MESSAGE%'; I can see it in the Global Settings | Changed Dump page, but the value doesn't update in the Global Settings | Full Dump. So this seems to indicate that Observium is initializing these values after the config has been read in. Is this the case? Is there a user configurable way to change the title of the alerts? Cheers Milton

Some days later it's the same. We did a svn checkout at another directory, and it completed nicely.

ANNOUNCEMENT: PHP <7.1 Compatibility
by Adam Armstrong 09 May '23

09 May '23

Our next STABLE merge will permanently break compatibility with PHP versions below 7.1.x. Our official minimum is 7.2 (though we strongly recommend 7.4 or 8.1). Please make sure you're compatible before you next update! :) We're not yet sure when our minimum will switch to 8.1, but if you can, we'd recommend upgrading to that. Upgrading on most distributions from the past 8 or so years is not too difficult, but if you're on very old distributions, we might recommend upgrading the entire distro. Newer rrdtool and MySQL is a benefit too. Thanks, adam. -- Sent from Postbox <https://www.postbox-inc.com/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=siglink&utm_campai…>
