Memory requirements
by Ciro Iriarte 06 Mar '13

Hi!, is it possible that there's some new memory requirements introduced with the last UI changes?. I can only make the main page load with PHP parameter memory_limit = 512M, before that it was working with 96M. Regards, -- Ciro Iriarte http://cyruspy.wordpress.com --

Aruba feature request
by Mike Richardson 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

What would be handy for us is to have graphs of not just the number of clients on our Aruba M3 controllers, but the number of .1x clients and the number of captive portal clients. This could either be separate graphs or combined with the 'number of clients' graphs. Don't mind really. The OID for .1x clients is .1.3.6.1.4.1.14823.2.2.1.4.1.4.1.0 and for CP clients is .1.3.6.1.4.1.14823.2.2.1.4.1.4.3.0 Thanks, Mike -- Mike Richardson Networks (network(a)manchester.ac.uk) IT Services, University of Manchester *Plain text only please - attachments stripped on arrival*

Discovery of large stack causes hardware to become unresponsive
by Patrick Zaloum 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

Hello I are testing Observium in a new environment after previous success stories elsewhere. We have noted that when we run device discovery on a stack of 5 Cat3750 (12.2-50-SE1) the "device" becomes unresponsive to any other queries / pings / ssh for approximately 5-6 minutes (during the discovery cycle). Once the discovery is complete, the poller, pings, and other operations return to normal. Note that traffic flow does not appear to be affected across the switch. Total ports on the stack are 278 (no argument that it is a large number of ports to poll from a single device). Regular polling of the device does not appear to have any consequences, it is specific to the discovery module. Does anyone have any insight into this? Thanks Patrick

It's definitely getting data, but not drawing the graphs.

Re: [Observium] Discovery of large stack causes hardware to become unresponsive

Hi Patrick. That's surely not supposed to happen. It's quite a number of ports, but certainly nothing that should be an issue, i poll larger stacks and people poll devices with thousands of interfaces. I would try to check with the -d switch and see which queries lock it up, then report this to cisco as that's simply unacceptable. If you know what causes it and you don't happen to need that info, you could disable that discovery module for those devices. That should help you out while cisco will treat your issue with utmost urgency and does the needful *cough* Sent from my mobile, please excuse brevity and spelling errors. ----- Reply message ----- From: "Patrick Zaloum" <pzaloum(a)gmail.com> To: <observium(a)observium.org> Subject: [Observium] Discovery of large stack causes hardware to become unresponsive Date: Mon, Mar 4, 2013 16:02 HelloI are testing Observium in a new environment after previous success stories elsewhere.

This is lack of mod_rewrite. It is documented in the install guide and in the FAQ. Adam. orznew orznew <orznew(a)gmail.com> wrote: >_______________________________________________ >observium mailing list >observium(a)observium.org >http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium

Hi, The commad apache2ctl -s (if i recall correctly) shows you all vhost definitions and which file they're defined in. That should help.

You need to increase php memory then :-) With 10k ports its probably running out of memory there too. Adam.
