Hey, we have a good UI *and* we run on windows! 🐭

Review: Observium open-source network monitoring won’t run on Windows but has a great user interface, price Observium’s network monitoring software is mature platform with good documentation, but won’t export data from its Web interface.

Observium is proud to announce the new Blockchain-based BitRRD format!

http://www.observium.org/blockchain/

Early tests indicate an average installation will require 4-5 Vega 64 or GTX 1080TI GPUs for BitRRD mining. These can be easily and inexpensively obtained via Amazon.

Observium Designed from the ground up to replace the existing round-robin database format, the new storage format will leverage blockchain technology to provide unparallelled scalability, reliability and provide a means of exploiting underutilised hardware.

Do you find writing Group and Alert associations complicated and confusing?

You're not alone, we do too! Here's a look at some work we're doing to make them easier to manage.

We've expanded our performance tuning documentation to cover some recent developments. Make sure you're using PHP7, opcache and max-rep!

http://docs.observium.org/tuning/

Performance Tuning - Observium

We recently committed some changes to how we poll Citrix Netscalers which resulted in polling times dropping to a fraction of what they were previously.

Dropping from ~350 seconds to ~70 seconds. Not bad!

We recommend using large (~80) max-rep values on these devices.

Windows subsystem for Linux 🤔 Linux can run on Windows 🤔 Observium can run on Linux 🤔 I wonder... 🙈🙉🙊
.. 5 minutes later ...

An easy confirmation! It seems to work fine! Observium on Windows!

Now we just need to work out why... 🤔

We've released the first parts of our new API to the repository. Feel free to test and suggest which parts should be built first!

The Observium team would like to nominate April 7th as Cisco MIB-writers appreciation day. We wish everyone wrote such clean MIBs. 👍

Arista are worth acknowledgement too. We like vendors who write good MIBs!

Hey guys!

We have a couple of RFEs open with Brocade regarding missing port sensors on VDX and FCX platforms.

Here are the RFE IDs regarding this two subjects :

PRODRFE104332: regarding VDX implementation
PRODRFE104333: regarding FCX implementation

If some of you have these platforms and consider this to be basic information that it is mandatory to provide in 2017, please start harassing your SE ;-)
