Hi,
Thanks for the confirmation, it’s great that alerting on an OID will be coming soon and in my case that will work, I’ll keep the App for viewing graphs and use a custom OID to monitor alerts by.
Ultimately alerting on data collected by apps would be beneficial but not essential, as it will give neater integration options but I can see the complexities in that, maybe allowing apps to store pertinent stats for alerting in a column holding an array with a sub-array for each app?
Anyway, I look forward to seeing the OID alerting soon.
Thanks,
Neil.

Hi,
Alerting on custom oid is planned for the not too distant future (along with some other additions to custom oid).
Alerting on apps is much more complex, I'm not entirely sure how to approach it at the moment.
I suspect it may not look exactly like the current alerting, but it is probably some time away.
Thanks, Adam.

Hi,
Apologies if this has been covered previously, I can’t seem to browse any mailing list archives as the link is dead.
I have previously used custom OIDs to monitor a VoIP Application (FreeSWITCH) but found I couldn’t alert on custom OIDs, and that the graphing wasn’t as customisable as I wanted, so I have built a custom application for freeswitch.
I now want to be able to raise alerts on a few things, such as when the number of new sessions per second is over a predefined value or when the uptime resets (application pop and restart).
I can’t seem to find a way of creating an alert check for anything that’s not one of the basic properties of a device though.
Could someone please tell me if this is possible? For example can I create my own attributes in the device then query them with an alert check? I have tried adding something like:
$device[‘device_state’].[’my parameter’] = value
But that doesn’t seem to be stored outside of the php script.
It’s quite important that we are able to alert on custom parameters and I can either provide these as OIDs or through the unix agent, whichever gets the job done.
Thanks,
Neil. _______________________________________________ observium mailing list observium@observium.org mailto:observium@observium.org http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium
