Thanks for the quick response Tom. These numbers stay pretty solid across all of the alert checks, I assume this indicates a potential resource limitation?

Thanks Tom. There are a large number of disabled ports which would explain the huge numbers I see for checks like "Interface utilization". Here are a few that don't pertain to interfaces:

[cid:image001.png@01D0405A.378769C0] [cid:image002.png@01D0405A.378769C0]

What does this indicate to you? Is there any other information that I can provide would be relevant?

Thanks, Dave

David,

It shouldn't be. Either there's a bug, or perhaps you disabled/ignored some ports in Observium? In that case, the poller won't send metrics to the alerter.

Good point! Didn't think of that [yet].

We should store or check that somewhere so we can alert people on it using the alert thing in the bottom bar.

I was wondering the same thing about those colored numbers on "Alert Checker" page. I'm still not sure what they all mean!

How do these 5 entries match the 6 "Status Types"?

1049/2/3/0/3

OK

RECOVER_NOTIFY

ALERT_NOTIFY

FAIL

FAIL_DELAYED

FAIL_SUPPRESSED

I can add this to the wiki, but I'd prefer some sort of self-documentation, such as a mouse-over tool-tip.

Thanks!

the two notify types aren't statuses, they're events. The others are statuses the entry into which are added to the event log as events.

alert_notify obviously only happens when a device enters the fail state, and then every 24 hours after. recover_notify happens when a device enters the ok state from a fail state.

We have a vague scheme for what the colours me :

Blue : ok Green : ok but ignored (in some places, green is used to mean "ok" too, but this might be confusing) Orange : fail but delayed (elsewhere in the UI it means "down because a parent is down" like if a vlan is down because a port is down) Purple : fail but alerting is suppressed (a mix of red and blue, meaning it's down, but you've told observium there is nothing to see here) Red: Fail

To be totally sure what these mean, you sometimes have to look at the code. :D

There is the legend on the Overview/front page but it would definitely be nice to have that info on the other pages as well. As a tooltip, it wouldn't disturb the current page layout. -Nick _______________________________________________ observium mailing list observium@observium.org http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium
