More Documentation on Alert Checkers?
by Benoit Lambert 10 Jul '14

10 Jul '14

Hi, Is there more documentation on how to setup alert checkers? Maybe there's a list of entities that I can pick from? I wanted to set something up along the lines of: Name: CPU Temp Over 65 Tests (Checker Condition): entSensorValue isBigger 65 Device match (Device Association): type equals network Hostname match *t* (any device with an "n" in it ?) Hostname match *new* (any device with "new" string in it?) Entity Association: entSensorType equals Celsius (monitor temperature?) Not sure how to set that up, Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Is it possible to poll devices in groups? Example: poll routers every 5 minutes and switches every 15 minutes.

It seems sometimes the duration is erroneously calculated from a previous firing of the alert... so that's probably the duration since you last got this alert. Or something. I'm not quite sure. Would you mind creating an issue in the bugtracker (jira.observium.org) and attaching the screenshot? Thanks!

Hi All, u think this is more of a feature request or something i have forgotten to setup i updated my install the other day and i noticed the Average graph for the processors WONDERFUL :-D is it possible to do the same for the temperatures of the cores on the processors? currently my install shows 4 temperature sensors for each core, and i think it would be good if i could get the overall temperature of the CPU instead of each core Regards Simon

Graphs not drawing after latest update
by Mahomed Hussein 08 Jul '14

08 Jul '14

Hi I wonder if someone can help point me in the right direction as to how I can fix an issue with graphs not drawing. We updated to 0.14.6.5588 this morning and I’ve noticed that some graphs are not drawing. We haven’t had any issues with the server and it has been up for 49 days. I’m not sure where to start. So far I’ve tried another SVN update (in case there was a quick fix) and rebooted the server (out of desperation/hope more than anything else). Please let me know if you require any other info. Thanks in advance for any assistance. A couple of screenshots are below.
