Everything is DOWN after svn UP :-)
by Gabriel Zamorski 04 Dec '15

04 Dec '15

Hello, Yesterday after upgrading observium (like everyday morning) we got hundreds of alerts. It seems that observium could not connect to any machine using SNMP - I checked this from console via ./poller.php and every server was unreachable, so I had to rollback to the earlier revision. Do you know anything about this? Regards, G.

CBQOS does not appear to work under NX-OS
by Stephen Fulton 04 Dec '15

04 Dec '15

Hi there, I have a Cisco Nexus 7k running the NX-OS 6.2 train, and I've noticed that while Observium picks up on CBQOS for interfaces, there is no data being graphed. Observium does detect the class-maps/policy-maps, but no results in the graphs. There are errors on one port that should be picked up, but I'm not seeing it reflected. What can be done? BTW, I'm using the subscription version, latest stable (0.15.11.7203). -- Stephen

Zenoss Integration Sync
by Rudy Pancaro 04 Dec '15

04 Dec '15

Has anyone every integrated Observium and Zenoss together. Zenoss is another networking monitoring platform, but the platform could use a more friendly GUI. The Observium GUI is very nice. Please let me know if this is possible. I believe that Observium and Nagios integrates with one another, but our organization uses Zenoss. Thank you.

Device check and down alert question
by Ron Culler 03 Dec '15

03 Dec '15

I have noticed that I see down notices in Observium often when the snmp check fails (I have only seen this when checking servers (Windows/Linux). The device is up and a ping/icmp check would see this but because the snmp check had a problem I get a down indication. Sometimes it has to deal with the snmp service on the host being checked hanging or crashing, other times I have seen load or congestion cause it. Is there an option or would it make sense to add a feature that would check snmp first and in the event of an error fall back and do a ping/icmp check to see if the device is up or not? It would be beneficial to see if the server is up and get a notice about a snmp check failure. I could also see a check flow that would check snmp first, if it errored it would check with a ping, if the ping returns wait for the next snmp check before sending the notice or marking the device down.

recreate interface to down/up -event
by Geno 03 Dec '15

03 Dec '15

Hallo, i have the following problem. I server of mine a VPN-Service. This vpn-service restart some times (and with it it recreate a network interface with the same name "vpn-interface"). Observium delete the interface and create a new one (with the same name). The Question, is it possible to detect it and make a down up event out of it (and a mac change)? So it will use the same rrds, graphs and so on. Nice Wishes Geno

Creating a table with Unix-agent
by Daniel Kasen 03 Dec '15

03 Dec '15

Using the unix agent I can create graphs, but what if I wanted to just add a table to the apps tab? Basically what I am trying to do is keep an up-to-date table of custom strings for linux servers. *Daniel Kasen | REDFIN | Data Center Operations Engineerdaniel.kasen(a)redfin.com <daniel.kasen(a)redfin.com> | Tel: 206-859-2826 2025 1st Ave, Ste 500 | Seattle, WA 98121*

Hi All, I have just received from the vendor the MIBs for the CAMBIUM ePMP for FW version 2.5.1 and 2.4.2 (renamed CAMBIUM-ePMP-2.5.1-MIB and CAMBIUM-ePMP-2.4.2-MIB) I put them under the MIB folder root@T1000:/opt/observium/mibs/cambium# ls -l total 944 -rwxrwxr-x 1 user user 222338 Dec 2 15:06 CAMBIUM-ePMP-2.4.2-MIB -rwxrwxr-x 1 user user 215949 Dec 2 15:06 CAMBIUM-ePMP-2.5.1-MIB -rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 164656 Nov 20 2014 CAMBIUM-PTP800-V2-MIB -rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 13857 Nov 20 2014 MOTOROLA-PTP-MIB -rwxrwxr-x 1 user user 121942 Nov 4 2014 WHISP-APS-MIB -rwxrwxr-x 1 user user 107218 Nov 4 2014 WHISP-BOX-MIBV2-MIB -rwxrwxr-x 1 user user 3715 Nov 4 2014 WHISP-GLOBAL-REG-MIB -rwxrwxr-x 1 user user 96040 Nov 4 2014 WHISP-SM-MIB -rwxrwxr-x 1 user user 2416 Nov 4 2014 WHISP-TCV2-MIB root@T1000:/opt/observium/mibs/cambium# but OBSERVIUM still shows the antennas as generic "Linux server" [image: Immagine incorporata 1] Maybe I missed a step. There is something else that I need to do? Thanks for your help Federico

Webpage Display
by Aaron Hite 02 Dec '15

02 Dec '15

I upgrade to 0.15.11.7224 (30th November 2015) today and noticed that my webpage doesn’t display widescreen anymore. Both the normal and widescreen display the same way. My graphs now wrap and create multiple rows for display. Anyone else have this problem, or any thoughts on a solution? Thanks, Aaron

API Details
by Kyle Hunter 01 Dec '15

Hey, I’ve been looking around and there appears to be 2 different APIs in observium. Is there a specific one which will be removed and the other updated?
