LDAP auth and permissions levels
by Scott Brawner 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

Hi all- I'm using level 10 for admins and that is working fine, however, with level 1 users they can log in but cannot see any devices or ports. Is there something else I need to set up inside the application? Using latest stable svn.

No graphs linux
by Tamino Grentzius 11 Feb '14

11 Feb '14

Hi, I am new to observium and after having multiple deploys I discovered that it works mostly really well, but on my linux machines it seems I have an error with drawing the graphs for memory, cpu and that... Anyone got a tip where I should start (client/server side) I have no clue at this point :) My esxi works, my cisco works, but no linux... :| Cheers, Tamino

Scaling Observium with Rancid, Smokeping, and Syslog-ng
by Chip Pleasants 11 Feb '14

11 Feb '14

Anyone have suggestions or real world experiences they could share scaling Observium with Rancid, Smokeping, and Syslog-ng. I have about 1000 router/switches in my network that equate to about 30k of interfaces. Half the interfaces will probably be down, although I'm not sure that makes a difference. Basically I'm wondering if I should break out my tools to individual VMs and use something like NFS for Observium to be able to see Rancid,Smokeping, and Syslog-ng data. Feel free to shoot me a private note. I appreciate any feedback. -Chip

I'm hoping someone could provide a little assistance helping me debug this problem. I'm seeing a blank home page when I change the authentication type to ldap. As soon as I put it back to mysql the home page displays. I'm using a working ldap config currently be used on a Ubuntu 12.04. I'm attempting to migrate over to a corporate supported RHEL 6 box. I dont see anything any log file indicating an ldap issue or configuration. Here's my ldap config. SELinux is disabled. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hi Guys, It seems that the mongtards at Twitter have made some more changes to their clusterfuck of an API, breaking the SVN -> Twitter gateway for the zillionth time. So, it's not working until further notice. Thanks, Obam^WTwitter. adam.

Email alerts - Duration
by Ryan, Spencer J. 07 Feb '14

07 Feb '14

Is the "Duration" field in email alerts working as intended? I offlined a BGP peer to force an alert and the first ALERT message says "Duration 6 days, 16h 59m 55s" If this is trying to tell me the last time it alerted it is incorrect, because this router was offline on Monday for maintenance. Additionally when it came back up (under 10 minutes) I would expect the duration to tell me how long the alert was active, instead I get this: 6 days, 17h 9m 44s. That's the 10 minutes (two polling cycles) the device was off. But where is the rest of that value coming from?
