Hi again,
Reaching out.
On my switches I cannot do a space nor a : in the description. However, I do not think this is how my dashboard window has been aggregating the ports.
I would be happy to pay for consult if anyone can help.

Hi,
I found the place in Observium where ports with these specific descriptions will be parsed:
However, it does not look like this is how Observium is pulling my data becausewhen I click on Obsivium and see data:
Im just not sure how to edit this dashboard window.

Hi,
In the port description does it matter if there is a space after Transit:
So will this work:
Transit:6_BR1_xe-0/1/4
Or it has to be:
Transit: 6_BR1_xe-0/1/4

Okay, I will try and change the decription on all ports I want to be monitored and then I will see what happens.

It seems you don't have a custom port description parser, so it's definitely using the port descriptions configured on the device.

Someone may have set up a custom port description parser.
do :
grep port_descr_parser config.php includes/defaults.inc.php
inside the observium directory.

Hi Adam,
Thank you so much. This is a great document.
I looked at a port on a switch which right now is amonth the ports which are being aggregated and I do not see Transit mentioned in the description.
This makes me think someone might have edited it somewhere in an Observium file.
I have not found a place to edit this via the GUI so I am wondering which file would hold this data. And where the file is located.
* c3.8 # show port 14 description
Port Display String Description String
===== ==================== ==================================================
14 14_BR1_xe-0/1/5
===== ==================== ==================================================
* c3.9 #

Port usage is determined by the port description configured on the router itself.

😊 I am aware that an upgrade is in need. But I don’t want to do that before I really understand the system.
I just see on my current dashboard that it is measuring internet traffic and that it is doing it by aggregating ports. I just don’t know how to change this. And I do not see that any of the ports that are being aggregated currently has Transit nor that I can edit this anywhere. Is it done trough CLI?

@Thomas You should upgrade your Observium installation :)
@Adam Maybe its time to let the port-groups be the only way to define Transit/Peering/Cache-ports and have all the fronpage-modules use that? Makes much more sense to define a port-group in Observium then to need to reconfigure your network stuff to please Observium. :)

I am running an older version though:
16.10.8128
I have one interface that is pulling data but I cannot see anywhere that it says Transit ☹

Though this has been at least partially replaced by the traffic comparison module if you also have peering traffic!

Hi,
This is picked up by the Observium Interface parser. It will aggregate all ports with a description that starts with "Transit: " and show in that graph.
So you need to edit the router Interface description and have it start with "Transit:" and then Observium will pick it Up automatically!

Hi,
I am not sure if this is the right forum but I need some help with basic settings in Observium.
I admit I have very little experience with Observium but a great deal with Solarwinds and The Dude (Mikrotik).
On my main dashboard window I have a tab saying Internet Traffic Today. This monitors ports to the internet.
However, we have replaced some border router and therefor I need to change which ports are being monitored and I can’t seem to figure out where I change this? Can I do this in GUI?
