Dear Team,
Can we do graphing to monitor internet accesss patterns of users to see how much % are using GOogle, Youtube , facebook, local contents, etc. Just about top 10 contents.
Regards
observium uses mainly snmp to get data from devices or services. thus everything which can be polled with snmp can be monitored through observium. if you are looking for a solution where you can hook in your own custom scripts easily observium may not fit your needs.
i am not an expert observium hacker but i think that this is quite true.
Hello!

I disagree. With the unix agent, Observium is easily extendable. It took me just a few hours to read the source code and copy&paste/write my own and then I was graphing Minecraft players. Not that hard.
However, let's be realistic: the documentation sucks. You need to know PHP and you need to read Observium source in order to learn how to graph these things,. The unix agent itself has documentation available though and there are some basic things about graphing in the docs. But you need to do some research yourself.
But all in all, I like the structure of Observium's source code. In some parts, it's very easy to extend, and graphing is one of them.
Kind regards, Teemu Grönqvist Net9 Oy

Hi,
i agree. i like auto discovery and graphing too. yes, unix agent is one way but not a comfortable one. thats why i wrote "it might not fit".
What i am missing (haven't found yet) is a way to paste my own oid or own shell/perl scripts together with other information of counter type and way to visualize into a lets say custom service target. thus extending for some missing special things always needs hacking. and i hate to have more than one monitoring solution.
I.e. i have printers who are no in the (snmp/oid) db and i just need counters and graphs for printed pages to make them accountable. It may not worth the work to integrate them into main code.
but i will have a closer look on the unix agent now.
Kind regards, Ecaroh

Hi,
This information simply isn't available to Observium. You would need much heavier netflow processing to do this, or perhaps some form of DPI.
There are other applications which can do it, they don't usually overlap with observium in capabilities.
