Problem with rsyslog configuration
by Patrick Marquetecken 22 Jan '15

22 Jan '15

Hi All, I'm having trouble to get the rsyslog working. I have followed the guide http://www.observium.org/wiki/Rsyslog_Syslog_Server but used the %fromhost-ip% . And rebooted rsyslog service. When I do a tail of /var/log/messages (i'm using a centos 6.4) I see the log files from my others server coming in, but none is going to the database. Jan 22 08:31:12 smtp postfix/anvil[6320]: Jan 22 08:27:38 app-05 postfix/postqueue[28297]: Jan 22 08:31:24 db-02 postfix/postqueue[25382]: Jan 22 07:52:56 fw-01 postfix/postqueue[18540]: Jan 22 08:31:36 proxy-01 postfix/postqueue[16781]: Jan 22 08:31:40 app-01 postfix/postqueue[17602]: Jan 22 08:31:39 db-01 postfix/postqueue[17506]: Jan 22 08:28:06 voip-02 postfix/postqueue[29870]: Jan 22 08:27:48 nas-02 postfix/postqueue[30007]: config.php $config['enable_syslog'] = 1; $config['syslog']['fifo'] = FALSE; $config['syslog']['debug'] = TRUE; syslog.php logfile('logs/debug.log', $line); debug.log This file stays empty unless i run syslog.php at hand then I see this: [2015/01/20 17:03:31 +0100] syslog.php(15435): Can someone please advice to get this working.

HP TippingPoint IPS 1400N
by Daniel Rolfe 22 Jan '15

22 Jan '15

HI, I know this device isn't on the supported list, we currently use cacti to monitor our IPS devices, there is a cacti module for tippingpoint and it works well but we are wanting to migrate everything to observium if we can Currently this is coming up as a generic snmp device I've got a paid SVN version but the observium connected to the tipping points is still running the latest CE I'm not sure if the cacti module can be used as a cheat sheet for observium support ? http://docs.cacti.net/usertemplate:host:tippingpoint:ips running tipping point OS (TOS) 3.6.4 Regards, Daniel

Just Hello and question about alerts
by dragonauta 22 Jan '15

22 Jan '15

Hi, my name is Diego, I'm from Argentina. I'm using Observium on my home server. It's a proxmox platform running 12 containers. One of them is running openvpn+observium to monitoring remote servers of my Customers. Observium CE it's just what I was looking, easy, simple. I just miss alerting system (e-mail) when a node is down. I read on wiki that new alerting system is not on CE (yet): will be added sometimes or will be a "premium" feature? For now I made a raw "alerting" system, modifying source code. At includes/polling/functions.inc.php I added a small script into poll_device function, just under status check. It uses php-mail and sends me a message indicating just hostname and status (Up or Down) Obviously it's hardcoded, but it works for me. Thanks for this nice software -- GPG-Key: 2FFBC43B Linux Registered User #436806 www.preguntaslinux.org :: supermoderador bbs.archbang.org :: moderator jinetedeldragon.wordpress.com

Services monitoring?
by Ryan, Spencer 21 Jan '15

21 Jan '15

Now that the Services / nagios plugins are deprecated what are people doing for monitoring availability of things like SSH? We are trying to get rid of nagios but mainly need the functionality of checking to make sure services are responding on various ports. Any good ideas? Thanks, *Spencer Ryan* | Senior Systems Administrator | sryan(a)arbor.net *Arbor Networks* +1.734.794.5033 (d) | +1.734.846.2053 (m) www.arbornetworks.com

Email Formatting for Alert Checks
by Pico Leto 21 Jan '15

21 Jan '15

Hi, Is there a better option for how the html formatting happens with the alert checkers? Examples are attached. I basically create a message with proper spacing, carriage returns etc. But after saving the alert (screenshot2) the formatting is disregarded. Reason for the long message is that my NOC needs step by steps instructions on how to handle something like per company policy. The email formatting also seems to take the Message field and throw it into the subject line. Shouldn't just the Name field in the alert checkers be in the Subject line of the email and then the message be included in the body? Is anyone out there doing custom email notifications or just using the default?

Log rotation, was Re: Observium on CentOS 7
by Colin Stubbs 21 Jan '15

21 Jan '15

One note though. And this isn't just related to CentOS hence change of subject. You'll need to sort out your own log rotation, e.g. create /etc/logrotate.d/observium with something like the below if you stick with the basic Apache httpd config, /opt/observium/logs/*_log { missingok notifempty compress delaycompress sharedscripts postrotate /bin/systemctl reload httpd.service > /dev/null 2>/dev/null || true endscript } /opt/observium/logs/*.log { missingok notifempty compress delaycompress } There's been a couple of jira tickets related to it (745/872), but no template suggested in jira or added to svn that I could find, and no code to manage observium.log or update-errors.log that grep -i could find. -Colin On 15 January 2015 at 19:30, Florian Miesenberger <florian(a)miesenberger.cc> wrote: > Okay.
