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

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…>

BGP Routing summaries failing
by Robert Williams 20 Apr '23

20 Apr '23

Hi! One of our guys just noticed that the BGP page is no longer rendering. I cannot confirm when it occurred (currently at rev 12695). All other pages are fine, only the four Routing->BGP* pages all seem to fail. OSPF/CEF are fine, as are all other pages as far as I can see. [cid:image001.png@01D9736E.DBE58830] The level of debug is strong with this one though... [cid:image002.png@01D9736E.DBE58830] Any ideas?

Alerting if LAG member drops?
by Bryan Fields 22 Mar '23

22 Mar '23

I'm looking at an easy way to send an alert if a LAG member drops. Running subscription Observium 22.12.12421 and talking a Juniper EX4500 switch. My thought was to have a global check that looked for ifType = ieee8023adLag and then if there was some way members changed, but I don't see a way to detect/check for this. I don't think Observium has any graphing on the LAG port members state. BTW, this would be a great thing to add to have viability into LAG members at the ae level. Perhaps checking if ifHighSpeed goes down? Other than putting up check on the underlying interfaces manually, does anyone have an idea on this? Thanks, -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net

Windows OS upgrade / broke connection
by McGranahan, Jamen (VU) 14 Mar '23

14 Mar '23

Good morning, We have 2 Windows servers that we upgraded from Windows 2012 to Windows 2019. Originally, I had both connected to Observium and was monitoring them, but since the upgrade, Observium is unable to connect to them and I do not know why. On the first one, I even removed it entirely from Observium but now cannot even re-add it. SNMP is running on both systems and settings are the same as what is on another Windows 2019 server that is working correctly, so I am really confused. Ideas or suggestions are welcome! (we're running Observium 23.2.12520 on a Centos 7 system, using the Observium Professional license) [Vanderbilt] Jamen McGranahan Associate Director of Library Technology & Digital Services, Vanderbilt Library Vanderbilt University 615.343.1614 | jamen.mcgranahan(a)vanderbilt.edu<mailto:jamen.mcgranahan@vanderbilt.edu> | https://www.library.vanderbilt.edu/ Central Library, 419 21st Avenue South Nashville, TN 37203 Pronouns: he/him/his [cid:image002.png@01D95589.085048A0]
