[Observium] Some contributions to get observium working better in our env.

Hi there!

I'm a quite new user of observium and i think its a really nice tool to keep a collected view of my network.

I've done a couple of hacks on observium to get it working better in our enviorment that i would like to contribute upstream. I haven't seen any doc on how you would like contributions done so I'm just attaching them here as git-format-patch on top of latest community edition of observium, md5sum of tarball: 887e9ec061a751c0cb96fc5b774aa392 observium-community-latest.tar.gz

If you have any other preferred way of getting contributions, just tell me.
