Fwd: Memory plots are mislabeled or incorrect in Observium
by NGS Webmaster 18 Aug '23

18 Aug '23

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: NGS Webmaster <ngs.webmaster(a)noaa.gov> Date: Fri, Jun 30, 2023 at 12:34 PM Subject: Memory plots are mislabeled or incorrect in Observium To: <observium-subscribe(a)lists.observium.org> Hello, The memory plots appear to be mislabeled in Observium. Below is a plot for one of our systems. [image: image.png] It reports that 32.19GB of memory is being used and that 5.67GB of memory is cached. However when I run the free -h command on the system the values for these fields are different. [image: image.png] This makes it difficult to accurately monitor the memory usage and setup accurate alerts for memory usage for systems. Can this bug be fixed? Our version information is below.

I just installed a new APC Netbotz 250 and I have configured its web interface to be in Fahrenheit but when I imported it into Observium the units are celsius.

observium misidentifying Microsoft Server 2022 Standard for Datacenter
by Tony Guadagno 24 Jul '23

24 Jul '23

Update, I looked closer and Observium is doing this for other versions of Microsoft Server, not just 2022. For example, I have a bunch of 2012r2 servers that I have checked and are Standard. They are getting marked as Datacenter. Hi, I just noticed that some of my 2022 servers are listed as Datacenter Edition. 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
by Richard Kuhns 18 Jul '23

18 Jul '23

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. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. -- Richard Kuhns<rjk(a)wintek.com> Systems Administrator Wintek Powered by Tipmont Main: 765-742-8428 Direct: 765-269-8541

Traffic collection on the vlan interface
by Kleber Cristiano Santilli Coelho 11 Jul '23

Good morning! I hope everyone is okay! I have a question about collecting traffic on vlan interfaces. My HPE/3Com devices (7510, 5510, 5520, 4800) show graphs of vlan interfaces but the graph is always empty with no data. On physical interfaces collected normally. Is there any configuration that I need/can do to get the values of the vlan interfaces? Thanks. --

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

svn stopped working
by Henrik Aarfeldt 10 May '23

10 May '23

Hello guys, We have been using Observium for some years now. Updating the OS weekly (Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS) and Observium is at 12763 Does a weekly svn up and ./discovery.php -u Last week our svn stopped completing.....stalled without error messages. Some days later it's the same. We did a svn checkout at another directory, and it completed nicely. If I give the svn some time, it will do this: svn: E175012: Connection timed out Any tips to get the svn to complete correctly ? -- Med venlig hilsen | Best regards | Mit freundlichen Grüßen | Cordialement | आपकी ईमानदारी से Henrik Aarfeldt Drift > Driftsstyring > Overvågning Overvågning + SårbarhedsKortlægning + SvartidsMålinger + NetværksKvalitetsMålinger + Elastic.

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…>

Request feature: Comment when suppressing alert
by Lars Joergensen 03 May '23

03 May '23

Dear list We're have three teams working in Observium, spread across the globe and time zones. We spend some time figuring out why alerts were suppressed and by who. Would it be possible to add a comment on a suppression action? Kind of a "operator event log" in Observium, correlated to devices and users.

FortiGate IPsec Tunnels "Missing" From PHP Weathermap
by Storer, Darren 02 May '23

02 May '23

Has anyone else noticed that FortiGate IPsec tunnels are now missing from the PHP Weathermap search box? We've been monitoring a number of tunnels for a while but when I came to update the weather map to keep an eye on some new tunnels, they don't appear in the PHP Weathermap editor, although the tunnels can be found by examining the ports within Observium. Any suggestions gratefully received. Darren

I've got some MikroTik routers that under Statuses shows the Primary and Backup power supplies. Having a hard time trying to figure out how to get alerts for these to be sent. These are type of sensor I am pretty sure but what to match on? Is best way to match on MIBObject or description of some sort? I have tried a few things and can't seem to get the alerts to match. Any direction would be appreciated. Thanks
