Im positive I added them. What I ended up having to do was check the box to have them ignored, run the poller manually, uncheck that box then run the poller manually again. Now they're working just fine. It was just extremely odd. -Wes On 5/29/13 1:55 PM, "observium-request(a)observium.org" <observium-request(a)observium.org> wrote: >Send observium mailing list submissions to > observium(a)observium.org > >To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium >or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > observium-request(a)observium.org > >You can reach the person managing the list at > observium-owner(a)observium.org > >When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific >than "Re: Contents of observium digest..." > > >Today's Topics: > > 1.

Graphics issue
by David Torres 29 May '13

29 May '13

Hi all, I've been using observium a while ago and since the beginning the tool showed me the graphics like I show you in the attached picture. There are several "white spaces" marked on the time period (X axis), where the tools is not showing information. I read the FAQs section and I found this advice: "I'm getting a blank browser window on some pages, but not others", so I incremented the PHP memory parameter from 128M to 384M whithin the php.ini file but this did not work either so I come to you beggin your advice in order to resolve this problem. Besides I have 90 network equipments monitored with the observium application on a virtual server (6 GB of ram and 3 CPUs 3.0 Ghz). thank you so much for any help Regards

Manually fix bogus RRD data?
by Alex Pressé 28 May '13

28 May '13

I have a router which was running glorious cisco code with a marvelous bug where the number of active ipsec tunnels kept increasing until I put a better IOS on it. So now I have a graph where the ipsec tunnels shoots to tens of thousands of ipsec tunnels, making the long term views pointless. Is there some easy way I can loop through a date range or similar and set the number of ipsec tunnels to some other number (like 10 instead of 22,000)? -- Alex Presse "How much net work could a network work if a network could net work?"

Many devices do not correctly populate IPv6 sessions in SNMP. Are you running oldish code? Adam.

hpasm - temperatures, voltage and fans in Observium
by Niklas Larsson 27 May '13

27 May '13

Hi, we have a couple of HP Proliant DL360/380 servers that has hpasm installed, I can get data from: snmpwalk -c public -v2c -M /opt/observium/mibs host.example.com 1.3.6.1.4.1.232 ( http://pastebin.com/JvsNVMhY ) The question is if Observium has support for hpasm? We are really happy with the supermicro support and are hoping that we could get the same information from the HP as well. /niklas

How to completely remove a device
by Lasse Leegaard 26 May '13

26 May '13

Hey, I have decomissioned a FreeBSD server and then wanted to remove it from observium. I would assume that clikcing on the "delete device" button would do the trick, but alas I still see the server on my device list. I have also tried editing the device and deleting it from there to no effect - it says it isn't there any more. Do I need to remove it and all data concerning it manually from the database and is there an easy way to do that? -Lasse-

New user - Few questions
by Simon Mott 26 May '13

26 May '13

Hi all im pretty new to observium but i am loving how easy it is to use so far! I have a couple of minor issues though 1) i have added two servers that are configured almost identically and observium has only picked up the lm-sensors info for one of them - is there a way i can force it to get this info from the second server? 2) On the note of lm-sensors - Observium is parsing the output of lm-sensors and treating the threshold values as actual sensors - can i make it just outright not graph these whilst keeping the actual sensor data? 3) I have a windows server added to observium and i am getting a load of ports that i dont care about - same question as above - can i make observium ignore these ports and not even list them/try to graph them? 4) i have unix agent installed on a server exposing hddtemp data but sometimes when observium polls it doesnt detect all hard disks or sometimes none at all (whilst at the same time i confirm hddtemp is working as expected and showing all disks) Any ideas whats causing this? Thanks
