If you're not using the data for billing, you /may/ be able to make do with measuring 95th from RRD.
Or you can increase the resolution of the RRD files so that they store a month or two of 5-minute data and then extract the 95th values from the RRD (rrdtool export)
Alternatively, if you set up bills for the important ports then you can extract the data from bills and bill_history tables.

All,
I thought that I had read one response to my original email where someone had been dipping into the db for reporting info, but I can't find it now… I'd love to get some more information on that.
Thanks, Scott Brawner

Adam might have a different answer. There are the metrics that you see. No direct reports.
Observium shows many things if your looking at the right info. It captures traffic statistics for port-channels, ports, VLANs, routing, UDP traffic, TCP/IP traffic, errors, etc.
You can do something with billing, by creating a bill for those ports. That will provide you with historical 95p listings. It's not really reporting, though I'm told billing can do PDF exports somehow. :-)
- How mature is the alerting in the subscription version? Is it
possible to configure alerting based on anything other than a percentage of link speed and interface up/down?
Ports measure more than just link state.
Click on one of your interfaces. Notice it tracks traffic, unicast, non-unicast, packet size, utilization, and errors.
We have a number of entities and metrics we alert on. Sometimes it's easy to expand this, in case you need anything specific, sometimes this will take some more effort. You can find a list of metrics we currently can alert on at http://www.observium.org/wiki/Alerting_Metrics_and_Attributes [1]
- I have been unable to get any email functionality working in the
community version. Is it supposed to work?
That's because it's the legacy system. Last month the alerting system went through like 2-3 updates or something alone.
The community version doesn't have the nice alerts. Get the subscription.
It may work, or it may not - we don't provide support on that anymore, and have recommended for a few years to keep this disabled due to possible alert mail avalanche... :-)
