No authorisation to app apache
by Fältman, Mikael 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

Hi My "normal users" can access the page App >> Apache (they are granted access to the device) but the graphs is not displaying. Only the text "No authorization" and a pink graph showing no values. Is this a bugg or do I have to grant access other than to the device for the users ? The Administrator classed users have no problem.

Aha. Sounds like new behaviour in Ubuntu copied from debian upstream. Its very annoying, as you discovered. Ill need ti mention it in the install guide, as currently its only a footnote for debian!

Hey, I'm just find this graph http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping-demo/?displaymode=n;start=2011-11-30%2012:2… And though it will be nice (if possible) to draw empty(NA) values using different color, like on graph I show.

Abnormal spike in billing graphs - r2719
by Berant Lemmenes 23 Nov '11

23 Nov '11

Hello, I've just recently setup Observium and noticed a strange spike in reported usage for one billing item, that wasn't reported in the actual interfaces stats. I've attached three screen shots, one of the accurate billing page for the billing entry in question, the 2nd for the interface page under the device, and the 3rd for the same interface as seen from a cricket install. As you can see the physical interface graphs in Observium or cricket don't show this extended period of ~ 8Gb/s that show up in the mysql based graphs. Looking at bill_data for the bill_id in question there were 45 entries where in_delta was exactly 309525032051591 while out_delta continues to change. Here is an example row: 31, 2011-11-10 17:35:06, 299, 309525032052787, 309525032051591, 1196 This has only manifested in this one billing. Let me know if there is anything else I can look at or provide that would assist. Thank you in advance. Thanks, Berant

Hello List, we use observium to monitor about 200 network devices including syslog, ipsec, and smokeping. What we see is an excessive growing off database every time we make an svn update.

Billing question
by Berant Lemmenes 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

I have a quick question to confirm what data is used to determine an overage... I believe I'm understanding the code/database correctly in that it calculates the 95th percentile for both in and out (rate_95th_in/rate_95th_out) and then whichever one is larger is stored as rate_95th and that is what is used for the value that the overage is based on. I just ask because we see ~4-5 times more entries that are over their limit with Observium than with our previous system (which granted was horribly cobbled together, and last maintained in the early 00's), and I just wanted to make sure it wasn't taking the sum of in and out for the calculation. Thanks! Berant

This is currently by design. We could do with something to make it prettier though.
