sensors and devices up down false alarms
by Simone Montagnani 30 Jun '25

30 Jun '25

In the last months I'm starting to get some issues I cannot debug well . I have some alert of devices up&down that are not really going down even at ping check. I'm sure that there are no network issues as we are talking about near switch devices, I'm starting to think that I need to debug if our observium is starting to "saturate" and the performance get poor. is there something I can check to find if we need to tune observium ? Or best practices tI can use ? CPU occupation graphs are kind of weird, processors occupation is different between Processors and Detailed Processors graphs : any idea is welcome Best Regards Simone

Install Script on Debian 12 error with mysql fix
by Bryan Fields 08 Jun '25

08 Jun '25

I just ran the install script on debian 12 as I'm rebuilding our server. I let it install mysql via the script and it died out as mysql was unable to start. I had to manually install the following packages: mariadb-plugin-provider-bzip2 mariadb-plugin-provider-lz4 \ mariadb-plugin-provider-lzma mariadb-plugin-provider-lzo \ mariadb-plugin-provider-snappy The errors showing these were missing: > mariadbd[1605]: 2025-06-08 5:48:20 0 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mariadbd: unknown variable 'provider_bzip2=force_plus_permanent' > mariadbd[1605]: 2025-06-08 5:48:20 0 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mariadbd: unknown variable 'provider_lz4=force_plus_permanent' > mariadbd[1605]: 2025-06-08 5:48:20 0 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mariadbd: unknown variable 'provider_lzma=force_plus_permanent' > mariadbd[1605]: 2025-06-08 5:48:20 0 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mariadbd: unknown variable 'provider_lzo=force_plus_permanent' > mariadbd[1605]: 2025-06-08 5:48:20 0 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mariadbd: unknown variable 'provider_snappy=force_plus_permanent' > mariadbd[1605]: 2025-06-08 5:48:20 0 [ERROR] Aborting > systemd[1]: mariadb.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=7/NOTRUNNING Once I did this, it came up and works. -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net

phantom sensor and status alerts
by Tony Guadagno 30 May '25

30 May '25

Hi, I am running pro version [cid:image001.png@01DBD0A7.1BDDACF0] today, I saw there were a couple of status alerts and a sensor alert...however, when I click on these links, those alerts are not listed, only the warning is listed.... I think this was working in the past....can someone explain why it indicates sensor and status alerts but does not list them anywhere? Thanks in advance [cid:image002.png@01DBD0A7.1BDDACF0]

RAM needed per number of ports
by Arnoldo Vidal Bravo 27 May '25

27 May '25

To update a server for Observium, we want to estimate the amount of RAM needed based on the number of ports. We have 30,000 ports on 650 devices. 28,000 ports are ignored (user only). We're interested in monitoring 2,000 ports. Can you confirm if 8GB of RAM will be sufficient? Or should we consider more RAM? -- Saluda cordialmente

New Implementation
by rudym88＠hotmail.com 21 May '25

21 May '25

Good day, We are considering purchasing Observium, either the Professional or Enterprise, and would like to know if it will meet our specific requirements. 1 - Will we be able to monitor the following vendors: Sonicwall, APC, Granstream (switches, PBX), Ubiquity, Netgear switches, Dell, servers, and workstations? 2 - Due to some required pro-activity monitoring, we use syslog. Can Observium handle syslog. (e.g. we need to be notified as soon as a port goes down instead of waiting for the polling cycle) 3 - We need to have the system send an alert to our ticketing system. Does Odservium send one alert per email, or does it group all the alerts into a single email? Looking forward to a reply to move forward. Thanks Rudy

I asked a question with my work email and of course forgot to remove my signature. How do I remove all my information? Getting a lot of BOT and sales calls.
