HP PDU cosmetic bug
by Laszlo Nemeth 24 Sep '19

24 Sep '19

Hello, I am happy that the Observium can monitoring the our HP PDUs too! But i found a cosmetic problem. Here is what the PDU shows: [cid:part1.B3B09EA5.D2E13E98@emarsys.com] And what the Observium (9906) shows me: [cid:part2.3649AB3C.D055B67A@emarsys.com] So the "Total Load Feed" looks like need to divide by 10. If the mouse is over the "Power" green value (that is now 2.59kW) the popup shows me: "Normal state 64.31685344686dBm" There is any option to shows the segments too not just the summarized power feed ? (like Load Segment 1..6) Thanks Laszlo

Mixed authentication (subscribed version)
by FRANKS, Andy (SHREWSBURY AND TELFORD HOSPITAL NHS TRUST) 23 Sep '19

23 Sep '19

Hi all, I don't suppose there's any plans to do a "mixed authentication" feature? We'd like to provide granular access to customer's devices, but centralise all our logins via radius which seemingly can't provide granular access; I can log users in with a '1' permission level, but then I would need to permit access to certain devices, which I can't do since there's no DB-side record of their user id. I see lots of systems which contain an internal database of user IDs matching an external authentication mechanism which then contain the granular bits but don't think Observium does anything like this atm? Maybe even a fallback of "radius,mysql" if we expressly denied the radius auth first?

Are 802.1ag or Y.1731 monitored?
by Adam Thompson 23 Sep '19

23 Sep '19

I’ll be deploying some switches Real Soon Now that will be running 802.1ag / MEF OAM-CFM / Y.1731 protocols to get fine-grained as-measured QoS data about the underlying carrier. Is any of that monitored automatically by Observium? Specifically, I’m referring to the counters found in IEEE8021-CFM-MIB and MEF-SOAM-PM-MIB. I’ll be running a small enough number of Management Domains (in IEEE/MEF/ITU-speak) that I can do custom graphs if I have to… but it would sure be nice to not have to!

Question about Cisco 3650 CPU polling
by Svensson Fredrik A 20 Sep '19

20 Sep '19

Hello! Cisco has big problems with 3650 with severalt bugs with high utilization of CPU and memory-leaks. Unfortunally this problem with CPU isnt seen in Observium. The graph is showing the output from sh cpu platform, stable at 49-50% for example: CPU utilization for five seconds: 48%, one minute: 49%, five minutes: 49% Core 0: CPU utilization for five seconds: 50%, one minute: 49%, five minutes: 49% Core 1: CPU utilization for five seconds: 48%, one minute: 51%, five minutes: 49% Core 2: CPU utilization for five seconds: 47%, one minute: 47%, five minutes: 49% Core 3: CPU utilization for five seconds: 49%, one minute: 48%, five minutes: 49% In the meantime we have extreamly high cpu sh processes cpu CPU utilization for five seconds: 95%/29%; one minute: 96%; five minutes: 96% The High cpu causes at least that the device is alerting as down since it cant answer snmp-polling. Is this fixable so we can get alerts from high CPU?

Added a picture where You can see the slider is present in the right side of the Status warning widget but missed in the Alert Status widget. The right table shows that there are more alerts than shows the widget. I use Firefox 69.0. [cid:image001.png@01D56EC2.9ADB1EE0] Thanks Laszlo

Observium alert checker - polling when devices are unresponsive
by Benedikt Sveinsson 17 Sep '19

17 Sep '19

Hi, I'm trying to create an alert for ports which have an egress percentage over 80%. It's creating false positives for devices that are down during the poll which makes the alert logging report I'm trying to generate rather useless (see a screenshot of the Alert checker below) I tried putting device_status eq 1 into the Test Conditions and requiring all conditions, if I do that, an alert is never generated [cid:image001.png@01D56D44.F618ECD0] What is the best way to achieve this? Kind regards,
