Automatic alert regeneration
by Andre Geißler 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

Hi all We're alerting on port errors on ports matching some conditions. If someone will add a port matching those conditions (eg. SFP), the port will not be added automatically to the alert check. Is there a way to automatically regenerate? Cheers Andre

Alert Check not Working
by Johnston, Tom 06 Apr '15

06 Apr '15

I have an alert checker set up to alert for CPU gt 80%. I also have an Alert checker for ifOperStatus. It seems many of the devices have never been checked despite regenerating multiple times. When I hover of the “I” for information its an empty square. Issue happens on the same exact device models and on others we get a result of Checks Ok and some array data under the “I” Devices running identical IOS images, one works, another doesn’t. What information can I gather to help see what the issue may be? Version: Observium 0.15.3.6350 (rolling) Server 4vCPU / 8GB RAM 166 Devices (mostly Cisco Switches)(Polling/Alerting on Mostly Uplinks only, not access interfaces) Thannks.

observium managment should be more professional
by John Brown 06 Apr '15

06 Apr '15

http://afmug.com/pipermail/af/2015-March/018914.html As a provider of internet connectivity (ergo a telco and a ISP) we use licensed microwave and unlicensed microwave technologies to feed our revenue generating customers. We also use fiber, and copper based technologies. microwave != wifi We are not alone in using a mix of technologies to deliver bits to customers. T-Mobile, ATT, Sprint, AllTel, Cellular One, Verizon, etc all use microwave (wireless) technologies to deliver bits. I, like others, have offered to write code, have asked for pointers on how to get started writing code, all appears to have fallen upon deaf ears. I've offered to PAY others to write code to support our kit, with features we need. No takers. As a PAID user, I'm quite shocked and disappointed in Adam's childish behaviour. Users of Observium should be concerned that their continued investment could be a loosing path as more people move AWAY from the product and go support other packages. On two lists that I saw the above URL, not less than 3 dozen people said they where removing observium and not renewing their annual subscriptions. I suspect that will become a trend. Cheers

Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted during the pooling for one host
by dorje2007＠seznam.cz 05 Apr '15

05 Apr '15

Hi one host cannot finish the pooling procedure, even though i run it separateley: ./poller.php -h router_host_name -d ..... ..... including: includes/polling/cipsec-tunnels.inc.php after that a lot of messages of this kind: ..... cipSecTunStatus.3157 = active cipSecTunStatus.3158 = active cipSecTunStatus.3159 = active cipSecTunStatus.3160 = active ..... Then the pooling terminates with: SNMP_STATUS[TRUE] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 256 bytes) in /opt/observium/includes/snmp.inc.php on line 654 Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 256 bytes) in /opt/observium/includes/snmp.inc.php on line 654 I increased the memory limit to 256 MB in the php.ini, however still does not work. It happens only with one host out of about 200 hosts. I have about 7000 ports in Observium. Platform is: CentOS release 6.6 php-5.3.3-40.el6_6.x86_64 httpd-2.2.15-39.el6.centos.x86_64 Observium CE 0.14.11.6000 Do you have any ideas ? many thanks Pet

Alerting Contacts
by Johnston, Tom 03 Apr '15

03 Apr '15

Hello, Does anyone know if it is possible at current status to have alerting sent to multiple users. Say I want only Cisco IOS devices to get alerts at an email and Windows devices to get alerts at a different email. Is that level of granularity built in at present or on the way at all? Right now my sys admin and I don’t need each others alerts… Thanks in advance.

I'm sure Adam or others will correct me if necessary, but I seem to recall the documentation saying you can do that by specifying <email address> as part of the SNMP contact value on the device, and whatever you put in config.php will cover those devices that don't have an email address specified in the device snmp contact value. I could be wrong, it's been several weeks since I last read that part of the documentation.

Hi, We've just renewed our subscription but not sure what to do next. Our svn up still works. Not sure how it's tied to the subscription. Thanks. -- Kind Regards, Gavin Henry.

Constant 'reboot' messages for all devices with no uptime counter
by Robert Williams 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

Hi, All of our devices which have no uptime counter (such as IP PDUs and temperature sensors for example) are constantly showing as having ‘rebooted’ every single time they are polled. The issue seems to have started on 27/03/15 at our 6AM SVN up – so whatever revision was released at that time. Since we have a very large number of these devices, the net result of this is a pretty useless eventlog ☺ Like this: [cid:image001.png@01D06CA4.83A8D2A0] …and so on… For each devices they have (always) shown this for Uptime: [cid:image002.png@01D06CA4.83A8D2A0] Since the devices do not have any uptime counters on them. Can I filter/disable/stop these events for these devices somehow? Cheers! Robert Williams Custodian Data Centre Email: Robert(a)CustodianDC.com http://www.CustodianDC.com
