Deleting sensors and graphs from a device
by Jason Lixfeld 09 Jun '15

09 Jun '15

Hi all, I have added an extremely pared down copy of a device to Observium and am using it strictly to be able to monitor BGP sessions inside a VRF context. I have disabled all sensors, modules, graphs, etc from the device configuration, but it seems that any sensors and graphs that were created before these settings were disabled are still present on the device’s page. How can I turf all the graphs and sensors and all that stuff from these devices? Thanks!

Port alerts that dont exist
by Chard, Alex (RET-SYD) 09 Jun '15

09 Jun '15

Hi All, I'm still having this issue where there are 2 ports that show as down on the dashboard, but no alerts are present when you click the "2 down" link. [cid:image001.png@01D08DDD.1C78EC00] Is there a mysql query I could run to diagnose which ports are causing this? There does appear to be some disconnect between the port down count query on the dashboard and the query for the Port Alerts page: /ports/state=down/ Thanks, Alex Chard Senior Network Engineer [cid:image001.jpg@01CF2EF8.D871AF90] 475 Victoria Ave, Chatswood, NSW 2067 *: +61 (02) 9422 2226 [mobile]: +61 (04) 03 894 614 *: alex.chard(a)reed-elsevier.com.au<mailto:alex.chard@reed-elsevier.com.au> www.reedelsevier.com<http://www.reedelsevier.com/> This e-mail is for the use of the intended recipient(s) only.

IOS XR snmp-server context for monitoring BGP sessions inside a VRF
by Jason Lixfeld 09 Jun '15

09 Jun '15

Hi, I understand that the current BGP MIB doesn’t support VRF contexts for pulling BGP session info for sessions that exist inside a VRF. I have IOS XR boxes that house my vrf BGP sessions, and apparently there is an snmp-context command that has proven to be able to work around the MIB limitations. My question is whether or not anyone within the Observium community has tried to do this. From what I gather, it requires a separate SNMP community on the IOS XR box to perform the context mapping, but that would seem to imply that one needs to duplicates the node in question in Observium with the new community. I haven’t actually tried any of this yet...

Environmental monitoring on an APC Smart-UPS
by Vincent Aniello 08 Jun '15

08 Jun '15

I have an APC Smart-UPS 1500 with a network management card that includes environmental monitoring. When Observium discovers the device the battery temperature is displayed, but not the temperature from the probe connected to the management card. Does Observium have the ability to show the temperature from the probe on the management card? Thanks. --Vincent

Speaking from my perspective, the discovery script found the multiple temperature sensors and properly added them into the display. I would expect that the developers are going to want to see the debug results of the discovery script run against your UPS, so that would be a good next step. Use discover.php with the -d flag running against the device, capture and sanitize appropriately, and post or put on pastebin or something like that. ...Ron Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE DROID Vincent Aniello <VAniello(a)portware.com> wrote: -- This message has been scanned by E.F.A.
