I want to write a check to alert when my ups’ switch to battery. I think I can do that by checking if the “source of output power” is not normal, but I do not know how to translate that logic into conditions and associations..can someone help? Thanks BTW, is there an exchange where people post their checks for others to use? Tony

questions about email alert notification formats
by Tony Guadagno 01 Apr '22

01 Apr '22

Hi, I have 2 questions about this. First, is it possible to attach a notification format per contact. We are sending out text alert notifications using number(a)vtext.com<mailto:number@vtext.com> and I think the format is too big for vtext.com to accept. Is it possible that on a contact, scale down the notification? Second, is it possible to change the format of the general "recover" email? thanks Tony

Hi, I am having an integration problem with my LDAP server. This is my config for the LDAP. It is based on what the Observium website shows. Could you let me know where I am going wrong? Looking forward to your support. $config['auth_ldap_binddn'] = "CN=Administrator,CN=Users,DC=lab,DC=local"; $config['auth_ldap_bindpw'] = " "; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['uid'] = "sAMAccountName"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['uidNumber'] = "objectSid"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['cn'] = "name"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['dn'] = "distinguishedname"; $config['auth_ldap_objectclass'] = "user"; $config['auth_ldap_version'] = 3; $config['auth_ldap_server'] = "lab.local"; $config['auth_ldap_port'] = 389; $config['auth_ldap_starttls'] = FALSE; $config['auth_ldap_prefix'] = "CN="; $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",OU=mvc,DC=lab,DC=local"; $config['auth_ldap_group'] = array("DC=lab,DC=local"); $config['auth_ldap_groupbase'] = "DC=lab,DC=local"; $config['auth_ldap_bindanonymous'] = FALSE; $config['auth_ldap_groupmembertype'] = "nodn"; $config['auth_ldap_groups']['mvc']['level'] = 10; [cid:image001.png@01D84552.881C71F0] [cid:image002.png@01D84552.881C71F0] Warmest Regards, Nirmolak Singh

What to do when all optimizations fails ...
by Graf Vincent 31 Mar '22

31 Mar '22

Hello, Although I double check every tuning guide from the website, I'm in trouble with my Observium installation. First of all, the size of the network is huge... From the Statistics on about page : - 1023 Devices - 57K Ports - 51K Sensors - 128 GB RRD - 20GB DB I run the latest version of Observium with PHP 7.3 on a Debian 10 physical server. It is a dual Intel Xeon 6248 2.5Ghz (20C/40T) equipped with 3 RAID groups : - RAID1 for the OS - RAID1 for the RRD files and Observium application - RAID5 for the database All the disks are SSD. The number of poller is set to 48 and the whole polling time has an average of 264s and a max of @334s (I just increase the poller to 60 today...). I do housekeeping every week to cut off the event log and other stuff older than 30 days. I also use fast userspace caching with php-apcu For the port discovery, some of ports are ignored like vlans, control plan, stack interface, voice-port, etc... The installation runs like a big diesel machine ... not so fast but very robust. My problem is that it takes more than 30 seconds to get the detail of simple 48 ports switch ... and much more when I try to load a detailed backbone with many more ports. Do you have any suggestion to improve the GUI responsiveness ? Thank you for your time Kind regards Vincent
