...and now I'm receiving alerts for Microsoft servers that have been down and subsequently rebooted. Most of what I need actually works, despite there being "no alerting" in Observium.

I'm confused but very pleased - thanks!

Hi Adam,

thanks for the heads-up.

Now I'm really confused, the following "alert" arrived via e-mail morning:

Observium :: Network Observation and Monitoring Device Rebooted : ms-gb-02 4m 1s ago.

This is the sort of information I'm looking for, maybe to include unresponsive nodes, that fail to respond to polling correctly etc. ...So close and yet so far :-)

Never mind, back to grappling with Nagios - boooo!

Thanks again for your efforts, Observium is a lovely package to configure and work with.

The "Alerting" tab is there because a few months back I started to put together a new alerting system, but the schema i wrote turned out to be too inflexible for my liking.

Work in progress :)

Hi,

I recently had a very good experience setting up Observium with in a mixed switch, router and server environment; everything was so much slicker than Nagios.

Despite the inclusion of "Alerting" tabs, I was assured on the IRC channel that there is no alerting functionality with Obs at this time.

Has anyone produced their own addon/scripts/strategy for basic alerting?

Best regards

Darren

Hi Darren,

Repeat after me: There is no alerting in Observium!

;-)

What we're actually trying to say is:

• We don't support the current alerting code really, although we do

accept decent patches to it; if it acts weird, we can only recommend you to disable alerting

• Don't count on it alerting you to all problems, so make sure you have

something else also monitoring your infrastructure

• Don't be surprised if it alerts you to nonexistent problems

If it works for you, very well, it can only get better once "decent" code is implemented.
