Hi, i want purchase your professional plan i have some questions : 1. we have our own traffic accounting in your simple api can we check every switch port how much send/receive or total traffic have?or can we set in your traffic accounting that when switch use over X tb per month call a script (our script will create invoice in our billing system) if we can check traffic in + traffic out with your simple api we can create overage invoice in our billing system and we want this, 2. can we create alert that when traffic use near %80 percent of X tb per month send email to user? thanks,
Hi,
The "Simple API" is a third party contribution, and nothing really to do with us, so we don't even know how it works, really.
It's not that difficult to just pull this data from the database though, probably no more difficult than learning how the API works!
The billing system doesn't currently support any form of alerting or notification. You'd probably be better doing this via your own system, if you're already scraping the data.

Hi Sonwe can fetvh traffic in and out from database right? And also does your alerting system support that we specify if pps or bps will more than X then email our network tech? Thanks

You can fetch the in/out/95th/etc data for each billing period from the database, or you can drag all of the measurements and work that stuff out yourself if you want a different billing style, and just use observium as a poller.
The alerting system does let you set bps/pps or traffic percentage as conditions, so you can do that too.

Well, 95th for links in which the actual speed is known, correct? We still have no general method to signal Observium about links with sub-port speeds, like 100Mbps ethernet ports connected to a 12/2 cable modem, right? Or did I miss that in an update?
Thanks, Mark
Do you have any trial for pro version? And also can we set custom field for port switch? Or add description to every port switch manually without change description on cisco switch Than

No. Community Edition is the trial.
Why would anyone want to manually set descriptions in a monitoring system and not set them on the devices themselves? oO

Because on switch port NOC team set their own description and on monitoring server we want set our installation team description (like server label and etc) Is there anyway do this? Thanks

Fix your internal business process problems, rather than trying to find software to allow you to create unmanagable nightmare "solutions".
This stuff is all perfect textbook examples of *why* Observium doesn't allow you to do this stuff. One of our design goals is to promote good engineering practices, since our primary target market is service providers and small telcos.
If you have a switch port which is plugged in to a server, that should be documented in the port description on the switch. This allows everyone to see that information, with no information desync between the switch's configuration and the monitoring system. Otherwise it is a virtual certainty that within 12 months, 20% of your ports have incorrect descriptions in the monitoring system, because they won't have been updated.

Port speed does not influence 95th percentile billing.

Ok what about previous question that i sent?

Good point -- I was actually thinking util % in my head, sorry :).
Mark
You're quite confused about how 95th %ile works, I think. It's not 95% of port capacity, it's the 95th %ile of usage (if there were 100 measurements, it'd be the value of the 95th measurement if they were sorted by size).
Since we rely on ifSpeed and ifHighSpeed, we'll always show percentages as a percentage of the physical port. We do have the ability to parse a custom speed indication out of the port description, but at the moment this isn't used for anything but displaying in the web ui, and we don't actually parse it (Mb, Gb, etc).
