Nix Agent Installation Question
by ryan 02 Jan '14

02 Jan '14

Hello All, I have a quick question about the Unix agent. I have an exim box and want to monitor the queue. This is a quick summary of what I did: I copied observium_agent_xinetd to exim server /etc/xinetd.d/observium_agent Copied obserium_agent to exim server /usr/bin/observium_agent On exim server mkdir /usr/lib/observium_agent/ mkdir /usr/lib/observium_agent/local/ Enabled unix-agent module service xinetd restart chmod +x /etc/xinetd.d/observium_agent and /usr/bin/observium_agent I was able to telnet successfully from the observium server. Output from poller.php shows the unix agent is running: # /opt/observium/poller.php -h eximbox Observium v0.13.10.4585 Poller Starting polling run: util2 10 linux (unix) Observium UNIX Agent: execution time: 209ms No include: No include:Observium No include:df No include:mounts No include:ps No include:mem No include:cpu No include:uptime No include:netif No include:lnx_if:sep(58) No include:tcp_conn_stats No include:md No include:diskstat No include:kernel No include:netctr No include:vbox_guest No include:ntp No include:cups_queues No include:postfix_mailq No include:local ... So I placed the exim-mailqueue.sh in /usr/bin/observium_agent/local/ and chmod +x and ran poller.php twice more, but I am not seeing a tab for apps after running the poller. Is this where the data will show ? Is there a step that I missed somewhere ? Any help is greatly appreciated. Happy New Years, Ryan Prihoda

Device status goes up and down (ping check) without having actual problems
by Mark Nellemann 02 Jan '14

02 Jan '14

Hi, Many of my devices goes Down/Up in Observium, while not having any actual problems. I monitor the same devices with Nagios (on the same server running Observium), so there's no connectivity problems between Observium and the monitored devices. Is this a general problem with the Ping monitoring or just something thats happens to me? And is there any way to disable ping and rely on snmp for up/down status of devices? I have attached a screenshot which shows some devices going down/up. -- Best Regards Mark Nellemann

We should do some adjustments to the site so this type of thing is clear immediately. Adam has been putting it off because he wants a different backend for the actual site, but I'll see if I can make some improvements tonight already.

Apache rewrite question
by Christos Panagiotakis 30 Dec '13

30 Dec '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Before anyone wants to crucify me, I saw this: "Installing Observium on RHEL/CentOS is not directly supported by the development team, so you must be competent enough to debug it yourself. We will not provide assistance on the mailing list or IRC channel with running Observium on any platform other than Debian/Ubuntu." And I respect it. But I made everything to work perfect except one thing only and I am mad. On a RHEL 6 server I installed observium to /home/observium with observium (user) as owner running fcgi and not mod_php running as root / nobody or apache. Normal user. I made the cron work, permissions ok, everything ok under the normal user. The only thing I couldn't understand is the rewrite. I was getting a "No file specified" So I dig it. I had to change it from: RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1/ to: RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1/ [L] to make it work. And it worked. I can see everything like: host/devices/ host/device/device=2/ host/device/device=2/tab=graphs/ host/device/device=2/tab=graphs/group=system/ (and so on..) everything except this evil thing: When I am trying to edit a device properties to -for example- override the system location (Override sysLocation) I am getting this url: host/device/device=2/tab=edit/%2Fdevice%2Fdevice=2%2Ftab%3Dedit%2F/touch=yes/ Not Found The requested URL /device/device=2/tab=edit//device/device=2/tab=edit//touch=yes/ was not found on this server. I repeat, everything else works great. I can add devices, poller works, I can add users / dig and surf the frontend except this. Did I missed something ? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJSvdl8AAoJEMxFbZ9Fw77b2HYQAKXu2pQF0c78FFCJssTI240u ndGC7IwodAIozp3PdHLm59OEsEe1d5G9BjfFzkWguUcyPBLOQbAOtBlJVt9Wk8mh fV92Bu0pWRsBSJRQvrThPJ2fDHzt3Gph01+hn7Cavp6VeR5zh7Igl3mpT9gOpkQE 1PYMPddupnCsP7BcITlHSYMNF1XR6K+63nSTU5bX3EtijhK45BR8HSp6VWKXVeuK s48URV8A4TXp1jM3sokTCsX/Du96quBx5nZDJKhxZGg/48DzBU9QWMPml5QW5qrO 9KV5Cnrr3NeVd/uC1aVTZTnPGeA6vSxdA3Ivt7UK8KOOzUv7zPxKK8zdvx2cyB/Y /BclklNkzxNgYghfxJdRUtz2hp2bIioxfLp1Zz+IgpXeFim/q0QsRvwdHUiHkHz0 tjNVbg1LddcWeCa1W5TG60XY4XxiwBSjZ5ymBVv4atS3Fj4OtobRwBqDviVGkMXm MXcUsTzVFsZ8S2ES/XQ/I+i2IZjer84aJ8zDF/Zj8mBHiPUWOPE+gQB2seytVt3a 9TYHFqR+o0QdZbqmgRy3JzJpd2xVUDEoApZ1LEqTvTDebJzwqaZhFCB44xU9JymT kJNEBJEMzjftUeVrYfbrFa7uLpnsVOL9yl15rR48ZSudbs18qPFYbKt+IHFeZToj un22c5JYnX+IYXOyMHxE =Qm6Y -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Billing quota data collection
by Teixeira, Mike 30 Dec '13

30 Dec '13

Hello, I have some ports in my billing environment that are pushing data outbound only. The table bill_data is not collecting on the ports that are outbound only. When I look at the setup of the billing id, it has a direction of in. Is the only way to change that direction to out is by editing the database directly? What determines that direction? Thanks, Mike

Billing support ?
by Daniel Rolfe 30 Dec '13

30 Dec '13

HI All, Really wanting to use the billing feature. I've installed the latest opensource version (Observium CE 0.13.10.4585) Running Ubuntu 13.04 i386 under openvz. Followed the instructions for Debian based install word for word. Added a hp switch and the below config to my config.php under the MySQL details: $config['enable_billing'] = 1; # Enable Billing $config['billing']['customer_autoadd'] = 1; # Enable Auto-add bill per customer $config['billing']['circuit_autoadd'] = 1; # Enable Auto-add bill per circuit_id $config['billing']['bill_autoadd'] = 1; # Enable Auto-add bill per bill_id In the web GUI under ports I don't see the billing option like is visible on the observium demo Anyone know what is going wrong ? I also don't have the billing cron files ? root@observium:/etc/cron.d# locate poll-billing.php root@observium:/etc/cron.d# locate billing /opt/observium/html/billing-graph.php /opt/observium/html/includes/api/module.billing.inc.php /opt/observium/html/js/billing.js /opt/observium/html/pages/api/manual.billing.inc.php /opt/observium/includes/billing.php /opt/observium/upgrade-scripts/fix-billing-2758.inc.php root@observium:/etc/cron.d#

Hello there, I followed the installation guide on the website and I was able to install observium on Ubuntu 12.04 with no issues but I don't see any graphs at all. I followed all the possible fixes and it still didn't fix the problem. Following are the fixes that I have done so far.

Real-time graphs not handling much about 1gbps (64-bit problem?)
by Stephen Fulton 26 Dec '13

26 Dec '13

Hi all, I'm running community edition v0.13.10.4585 and polling a few C6500's and a Cisco Nexus 7k. I have a number of 10GE interfaces and 10GE etherchannel bundles. The 5 minute graphing appears to work fine, the numbers are accurate when I compare against another monitoring system in production. However, when I run a "real time" poll against an interface or port-channel, of any duration (2 secs to 60 secs), the numbers never crack much above 1gbps, and there are often negative numbers. This suggests 64-bit counters are not being used or being interpreted correctly, but I haven't looked at the code. Has anyone else seen this? If so, did I mess something up with the install or is there something I can do? Thanks, -- Stephen
