Average packet size throughout multiple ports
by Marian Rychtecky 18 Sep '20

18 Sep '20

Hi everyone, may I ask developers, if there is any chance to add "Aggregate average packet size" option to aggregated graphs? We have a need to have this statistics available throughout infrastructure. I would like to render average value calculated from all ports in "aggregation", therefore it's not aggregation in terms of values, but in terms of multiple ports calculation. Individual stats: Aggregates Thank you Marian -- Marian Rychtecký mr(a)nix.cz Phone +420 724 397 441 NIX.CZ z.s.p.o. Americká 23, Praha 2 130 52 Czech Republic http://www.nix.cz

Timestamp conversion (log) < 30 minutes
by Klimek, Denis 17 Sep '20

17 Sep '20

Hi all, does anybody know if it’s possible to re-enable the full timestamps for syslog and evenlog entries that happened within the last 30 minutes? Currently you only see the elapsed time instead of the full timestamp (date+time).

Inventorying Merakis
by Lars Joergensen 14 Sep '20

14 Sep '20

Hi We have a bunch of Merakis in Observium, and we got the nice graphs and stuff. Then somebody asked for serial numbers for inventory purposes, and ... they're not there. I did an SNMP walk on a single Meraki device, and that's really sparse, explaining the lack of info in Observium. Then I added the Meraki dashboard (available at snmp.meraki.com), and let Observium have a look at that. It basically told me that it resides in San Francisco. Doing an SNMP walk on that does reveal all the necessary info, though, so it is there. Any plans on parsing the Meraki dashboard into Observium and get info on devices that way? If not, we can pull the serials from elsewhere, but it would be cool to know if it's coming.

bogus VLANs reported on switch

We have a Cisco C2960S running 12.2(55)SE3 that Observium insists has a whole bunch of VLANs that don’t actually exist on the switch.

Google Maps on dashboard
by Lars Joergensen 11 Sep '20

11 Sep '20

Hi Finally figured out how to make locations work properly by paying for the Google geocoding API. The map on the dashboard is provided by OpenSteetMap. Any way to make that map provided by Google instead, so we can get the satellite view?

SNMP Timeouts
by Luis Londoño 10 Sep '20

10 Sep '20

Hello, A couple of weeks ago some of our switches starting not responding to SNMP and are showing down now but I can ping them from the server that I have Observium on. Recently the server storage got filled up but I expanded the disk and has plenty of space now, but I still get timeouts even if I run the SNMPwalk from the Obserivum server. I reinstalled the snmp and snmpd packages on the server (ubuntu 20.04). Some switches are using v2c and those are working while the ones that aren't working are using v3. Wasn't sure if maybe I needed to reinstall some other packages or see what else I could do to fix this. Thank you
