Observium HA
by Adriaan Smuts 02 Feb '14

02 Feb '14

Good day, We are on the subscription version of Observium and loving the product so far! I need to make Observium Highly Available as this is becoming one of our main monitoring systems. Is there any documentation on how to implement this?

95% rule and scaling
by Scott Brawner 31 Jan '14

31 Jan '14

Is Observium capable of measuring/calculating the 95% rule on interfaces? Also is it possible to change scaling on ports, for example even though one of my customer ports is set on the device at 100Mbps, the link itself is only capable of 20Mbps. Is it possible to change the scale on that particular port to reflect the manageable bandwidth?

Is there easy setup instructions to get the WMI Poller to work on the subscription version? I am wondering if maybe I have settings wrong on one end or the other. ~Johnathon

Alert when BGP peer down?
by Ryan, Spencer J. 31 Jan '14

31 Jan '14

We're trying to get an alert check set up to alert us when a BGP peer is down, but it seems like no matter how we configure it the alert never triggers. Any help? Thanks!

Re: [Observium] rancid etc.
by Rob VanHooren 31 Jan '14

31 Jan '14

Dan, consider lighting up a websvn instance in parallel to obs, pointed at your rancid depot. it’s got a nice layout, and you get a bit more in the granularity toolbag (e.g. permissions). our auditors love it. you lose a bit of the SPoG effect, but really it’s an ideal drill-down. aside: top 3 wish list (e.g., after obs alerting gets finished): - eigrp feature-parity with ospf/bgp - f5, palo & checkpoint device support (rancid is weak here also, so obs is in good company /grin/ ) - auto-thresholding sexiness (a math-inclined list member offered to contribute some framework for this a while back?) alerting wishlist items: - bark at me when the route count of established routing peer sessions (esp. bgp) changes from $baseline - bark at me for threshold deviations, esp. unnaturally lower-bound ones (e.g., ckt that normally pumps nMbps flatlines to zero) (tells me my edge peers probably did something stupid that they will blame me for anyway. knowing about it first helps. LOL). ps: - scale of syslog ingestion (or possibly the regurgitation thereof) might warrant some love. 7MM/day entries in volume makes for dreadfully long page loads. - anyone have the mysql agent script poking at an instance of mariadb? are your results in obs fully populated? (processList, innoDBinsertBuffer, innoDBsemaphore,innoDBxactns?) - am working on some integration ideas with gestio & rwhois, so that subnet links in obs, esp. for rfc1918 space can become useful info (has anyone gone down this road already?) cheers, R.

Temperature in Fahrenheit
by Johnathon Voegeli 31 Jan '14

31 Jan '14

I am trying to get the devices to show Temperature in Fahrenheit instead if Celsius. I changed the config to show: $config['allow_entity_sensor']['celsius'] = 0; But this seems to have no effect. Any ideas? ~John

ifAlias script
by Robert Brooks 30 Jan '14

30 Jan '14

Hi, the script on http://www.observium.org/wiki/IfAlias_descriptions_on_Debian/Ubuntu wasn't working for me when doing an snmp walk. Individual values were being reported, but the -n option didn't work. Attached is an amended version which is working for me in both cases. Regards, Rob
