Hello all. Just installed Observium CE on CentOS 7.4 and am tinkering with it. It graphs, it discovers devices via CDP/XDP, it's really cool.
Now what do I do with it?
I know, I know, I should have had a destination in mind before I took to the road. But the program looked so cool that I installed it just to see what it could do.
One question I would really like to have it answer for me is this: I have some period slow-downs on my network. Can I get Observium to show me the busiest ports on a switch, so I can track down the culprit (if it's due to traffic?)
I've been prowling the interwebs for my information. That was a helpful method of getting information to install it and make it work, and comb out some of the early bugs, but I'm finding it harder to locate hints on how to rally exploit this excellent resource to make my network better/faster/stronger/able to leap tall packets in a single bound.

You could start at :
/ports/format=list/disabled=0/deleted=0/view=basic/pagesize=100/pageno=1/sort=traffic_perc/
Which will give you a list of ports with the highest percentage utilisation at the last poll.

That's brilliant! Thanks. There must be more of these handy incantations listed somewhere. I can generate some by changing the sort order and copying the resultant URL.

There's not really a list of URLs anywhere, it's just a case of becoming familiar with the search forms.
We do try to keep the URLs bookmarkable, but i'm not really sure many people actually do that.
