Cisco WLC monitoring
by Сережка Хомяков 03 Jun '14

03 Jun '14

Hi all! I know, this is a pretty discussed topic, but from this discussions plans and current state of Cisco's WLC monitoring are not obvious. When I've tried to add it to Observium, it wa correctly identified as Wi-Fi device type, but only device traffic and system temperature are shown on the main page, no CPU, memory are available. WLC model is 2106. Can anyone plaese clarify this? --- Best, Sergey Homyakov

Re: [Observium] 4k

imo, 1920 will be common for quite a while yet. any chance you can make the scaling formulaic, based on a config parameter? that way you only have to do it once, forever. (bonus: mbp folks are happy, you can be lazy when 8k shows up, etc…) R.

PostgreSQL Application monitoring
by David Peall 03 Jun '14

03 Jun '14

Hi I want to monitor Postgres servers and was wondering the best way to go about this. On the master server there are several clusters each with a number of databases. On the replication servers the same exists but I’d like to monitor the streaming replication delay. I’m just wondering what the best layout would be to bring the data into Observium? Regards — David Peall

Hello, At the moment I am receiving Windows Eventlogs in Observium by using the Correlog Syslog agent. Is anybody else using something similar? Are there other ways to accomplish this? Kind Regards Jeremy Alberts

MIB files to compile?
by Ray, Bjoern Karsten 02 Jun '14

02 Jun '14

Hi there, this may sound a bit stupid but I need to know this for sure: MIB files in Observium don't have to be compiled but to be available under /opt/obersium/mibs/ or(!)/opt/obersium/mibs/[vendor]? Background is a strange feeling that some MIBs are not used at all - so the second question is: how to validate that Observium uses the correct ones so I can verify either that I've done something incomplete or the affected MIBs are not valid or incomplete at all. Thanks in advance! Björn

Graphing Apple Airport traffic
by Steve Evans 01 Jun '14

01 Jun '14

Firstly, I have to say how impressed I am with the clean, purposeful implementation of Observium. One of the main reasons I was looking for such an SNMP network manager was to monitor my four apple airport base stations. Whilst Observium recognises such devices, and graphs the wirelessNumber from the AIRPORT-BASESTATION-3-MIB if does not graph the corresponding physicalInterfacesTable traffic. Whilst the ifTable is graphed this doesn't actually include the wireless connections. This information would be very useful to determine how many packets are being passed on the wireless interface and at what speed. I've yet to dig into the structure of the code much, but presumably the physicalInterfacesTable could be logged/graphed using code very similar to that used for the ifTable. Something that would also be very useful, would be to list the currently attached clients which could be reported in a similar manner to the ARP/NDP Table using information sourced from the wirelessClientsTable to display MAC address and speed/signal strength/noise. This information could be instantaneous rather than logged as the airport base stations appear not to actually return the number of packets passed despite the MIB supporting this. This looks like the simpler task. Finally, some might be interested in the DHCP allocations, but as I run all my base stations in bridged mode that wouldn't be of interest to be. So, before I start looking at the code, I thought I should ask if anybody is already looking into this? Thanks, Steve

Geocoding debugging help
by Chris Moody 30 May '14

30 May '14

Howdy folks. Can anyone please help provide me some syntax to try debugging the geocoding calls that place devices properly on the map? I'm running 2 installations[Observium CE 0.13.10.4586]: - 1 test host (geocoding works great) - 1 production host (geocoding isn't working) The prod host is behind proxies whereas the test host is not, so I'm next to 110% positive that this is what's preventing the geocoding calls from functioning, but I could use a hand in how to further debug the details of where/how it's failing. I've specified the proxy server details in the config.php file, but am not confident that connections are actually getting through. It's quite possible that the geocoding URLs are not currently permitted through the proxies. I need some more ammo though to go back to my proxy admins so that I can get their help in permitting this connectivity if it's denied. Are thereany commands I can run or debugging flags I can toggle to help extract more details? I've tried both the mapquest & google provider to no avail, so need to get deeper under the hood to troubleshoot further. Any insights or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Cheers, -Chris
