Rancid
by Lyndon Labuschagne 07 Sep '15

07 Sep '15

Hi All I see rancid has a “Latest" tab is there an option to view the previous versions? Also after a slight tweak I have UBNT backups too, just not the Air-fibre as yet there is actually a slight difference in the rancid script for those, and I think all the Ubiquity radios are just associated to AirOS or at least a on the CE release I have for testing purposes Lyndon Labuschagne [cid:image001.jpg@01D0D50C.B78C6660] Ground Floor 76 Kyalami Blvd. Kyalami Office Park T: 010 001 6100 C: 084 888 1017 F: 086 768 3587 E: lyndonl(a)mobiletorque.co.za<mailto:lyndonl@mobiletorque.co.za> W: www.mobiletorque.co.za<http://www.mobiletorque.co.za>

Availability Graphing
by Lyndon Labuschagne 07 Sep '15

07 Sep '15

Hi all I have looked around but don't see any information around availability graphing. What we are looking for is a graph per device that can show if there have been any communication drops? I suppose alerts based on packetloss will tell us if there have been issues, but it would be nice to retrospectively go back a day or week etc. Sent from my iPhone

Wireless - Ruckus Zone Director
by Basile Bluntschli 04 Sep '15

Hi Team we just recently added Ruckus Zone Director at some customer site. The Zone Director gets recognized as a Wireless Controller. However no tab with wireless is present. Should there be already some Ruckus support or is this still in development? Thanks Basile

A few Questions Regarding Observium
by Lyndon Labuschagne 04 Sep '15

04 Sep '15

Hi All So a few questions around the paid subscription and supported devices etc. In the paid version we have more frequent updates, I assume that some of the issues I see now with supported devices may well be already fixed, I would be interested to hear from any paid subscription users what your experiences are, either on or off list is fine with me. We are really impressed with the support level on the Cisco equipment. Obviously the more useful the MIB files are and the devices support for SNMP the more information is obtainable by Observium. We do however make use of other vendor equipment that is not on the supported list and although the basics of these devices work, more information would / could be available based on the device and the MIB files. We make use of EdgeCore / Accton switches, Alcoma Microwave equipment, and Ubiquiti, First off Ubiquiti support seems spotty, I see the FROGFOOT MIBs seem to be the default and although the UBNT MIBs are in the mibs directory I have not at yet seen a device that seems to use the UBNT MIBs. I would love to see RSSI noise, Capacity etc, obviously dependant on the radio / MIB ability, a few years ago we used Cacti and there was a plugin that did support the radio levels etc for the Stations so it must be possible via SNMP. Unless I am missing something I don't see these graphs. I know that UBNT’s SNMP support have generally been crap to say the least, combine that with some “interesting” hardwarre snmp v1…. Tough Switch and the quasi 5 or 8 port setup that is actually only 2 ports etc etc. Alcoma is a fairly extensively used radio in both the licensed and ISM bands and they do have a fairly comprehensive looking MIB, we would be very interested in having much more detailed graphing and monitoring. EdgeCore These switches also offer a fairly extensive MIB file and support. We would be happy to look at paying for development work to be done to support these hardware platforms if we decide to use Observium. How to we go about requesting development work to be done? Just a side note. We use the new airfibre radios and have noticed that Observium shows the in-band managed IP (management vlan) to show as down, even though this is the IP that Observium gets the SNMP details / polling from, I will check the bugs and see if this has been logged as yet. Thanks Lyndon

Alerts

Hi Guys, We seem to be getting alerts for ignored ports. This seems to happen when port was ignored after an alert check has been created, to fix this we have to delete and re-create alert check each time port needs to be ignored. Any chance this can happen automatically?
