Alert Checks on Observium reports device down when they are actually not
by Arya, Renuka [MED] 10 Mar '16

10 Mar '16

Hi Team, I have setup the following Alert on my Observium device. See attachment (Alert_DeviceDown). I sometimes get the alerts that the device is down . See attachment (Devices_Down). However, the devices were actually not down. So most likely it is the Server on which Observium is install, do not get a ping response from the switch(device we monitoring). I ran MTR tests between the Observium server and switch in question, I don't see any packet losses, but I do see average RTT of 0.2 ms and worst RTT as 3.8 ms. So, is it possible when Observium does not get a ping response from the switch in the desirable amount of time, it marks it DOWN. How this desirable amount is calculated. Is there way we can edit this? Or is there any other recommended way for monitoring the devices? Thanks!

db.log full after upgrade to Observium CE 0.16.1.7533
by Mike Driscoll 09 Mar '16

09 Mar '16

After upgrade, all seemed well until my disk filled up. db.log contains countless entries about unknown columns. A couple examples are below. I completed the schema update and full discovery at the end of the upgrade process per: http://www.observium.org/docs/updating/ <http://www.observium.org/docs/updating/>. Rerunning discovery.php -u says my schema is up to date. But something isn’t right. Is there a way to force the schema update to run again? Perhaps that will install all the missing columns?

So all setup and working. ref2 indicates the fault is easy to fix but i can't understand it. -------- dc2radius1:/usr/lib/observium_agent/local root $ ./freeradius PHP Fatal error: Call-time pass-by-reference has been removed in /usr/lib/observium_agent/local/freeradius on line 54 -------- line 54: exec("echo '$radmsg' | $radcmd", &$out, $retval); how might line 54 be altered to actually run. The alternatively is to rewrite it as a shell script (cause thats how programmers work, they rewrite in the language they know). thanks Peter Hine Senior Technical Support Engineer (Servers) FCoA ITS peter.hine(a)familycourt.gov.au ********************************************************************** The information contained in this e-mail (including any attachments) is for the exclusive use of the addressee.

Hi, PPPoE graphs on our Cisco ASR1000 boxes no longer has any value. This is starting from a little over a week ago. Are these MIBS removed or these graphs have been removed? Have a look at the attached screenshot.
