In addition to trailing email please also need guidance for following point :

  • How actually network discovery works for observium ? I mean do I have  to just enable SNMP with same community and same Snmp version  on all my devices so that observium can discover my whole network and does observium also show me the whole map for my network ( connectivity b/w my devices) and most important do i need to make any device as Seed device for my network ? from which it will automatically penetrate to whole network...Further more after discovering of my device can i filter those graphs so that I can only plot useful or main graphs
  •  Can I also make groups to those graphs I mean is it possible that I can make a separate tab for my roters and the \n separate tab for switches etc.

Thanks

Best Regards

Rizwan

If all the machines have CDP (maybe LLDP and similar protocol?) + valid system name to DNS mapping, the discovery is magical, you also need to populate observium config with valid SNMP communities to try.

As far  as I remember, you have Server/Firewall/Network groups per default and no way to create custom groups.
