Hello Support,
Any advice on fixing observium so it doesn't drop reading storage?
[image: Inline image 1] This seems to happen at random. I'll reboot the observium server and it comes up reading random machines as 0 storage.
Thanks

Are you running the C or Pro?
If I recall correctly, a number of tables containing such data were memory tables in CE. They have been converted to on-disk ones in Pro. This means if you reset MySQL on the Observium servers the data is gone until next discovery (or poll?).

t seems to have been an issue after we went pro. When we were on CE we didn't have this problem

Tim,
Hm. That's odd. Maybe Adam has any idea?

Meh. Imagined connections. We all know the plague of people blaming a random unrelated change for some other issue.
Nothing has changed to how storage works for a very very long time beyond removing the -state table, which if anything should make this sort of thing significantly less likely.
What exactly is the problem? It's not very well explained.

Exactly - that was the first and only thing to come into my mind, it should be better now. :-)

If you guys don't know why your software is not working properly just say so.
