Orphaned ports
by Aaron Mayfield 09 Oct '15

09 Oct '15

I've been digging around in my database, trying to figure out why I have a large number of ports listed in my observium interface, compared to the number of devices I have. I have discovered several devices that were removed (via delete_device.php) a while back, but it seems that the ports table wasn't completely cleaned up. These devices were removed from the devices table: mysql> select * from devices where device_id in(45,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73); Empty set (0.00 sec) mysql> But the ports for these devices weren't entirely removed: mysql> select device_id,count(*) as "number of ports" from ports where device_id IN(45,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73) group by device_id; +-----------+-----------------+ | device_id | number of ports | +-----------+-----------------+ | 45 | 4153 | | 66 | 4153 | | 67 | 4153 | | 68 | 4153 | | 69 | 4153 | | 70 | 1569 | | 71 | 4153 | | 72 | 4153 | | 73 | 4153 | +-----------+-----------------+ 9 rows in set (0.01 sec) mysql> These devices were probably F10/Dell M1000e cards, which I removed from observium because of the large number of l2vlan interfaces on each was causing a processor burden when polled. Rather than fight with them, I just removed them. My question is this, how can I clean up the remnants? Can I just delete these orphaned ports from the table? Or will I break anything if I do that?

DRBD Stats / Agent
by Robert Williams 09 Oct '15

09 Oct '15

Hi, Is anyone successfully using the agent to retrieve DRBD statistics? We may be suffering from http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBSERVIUM-574 - I'm not 100%, but I wondered if anyone had fixed it or found a workaround and simply hadn't shared their findings on Jira? Cheers all! Robert Williams Custodian Data Centre Email: Robert(a)CustodianDC.com http://www.CustodianDC.com

Multiple OSPF processes
by Miguel Berniz 09 Oct '15

09 Oct '15

Hello, I have noticed only 1 OSPF process is detected on cisco devices. I have a Catalyst 4500 with 3 processes but only one of them is handle by observium. Is this the normal behavior or does it require special config or not supported at all? Thanks in advance, Miguel

by Przemysław S. Knycz 08 Oct '15

Hello! I've wird problem with "Can't resolve ...." when adding device (from ./add_device.php and from website). Te solution was simple - there was missing "search domain" at /etc/resolv.conf - i don't find this kind of problem and solution, so you can add it at site to Troubleshooting. Thanks. Regards. -- .

rsyslog omprog integration Problem
by Serge Müller 05 Oct '15

05 Oct '15

Hi, i'm running observium (latst svn) on a ubuntu 14.04 System. Have Setup rsyslog for udp listening, deployed /etc/rsyslog.d/30-observium.conf as stated in http://www.observium.org/docs/syslog/ However my observium.syslog table stays empty. I have enabled debugging and syslog debuging in config.php so everytime i send a string to /opt/observium/syslog.php the string appears in my observium debug logs. I have started rsyslog in debug mode and (from what rsyslog says) it executes syslog.php: 9163.747286922:7f66a9681700: scriptExec: batch of 1 elements, active (nil), active[0]:1 9163.747293145:7f66a9681700: PROPFILT 9163.747311025:7f66a9681700: Property.: 'inputname' 9163.747324703:7f66a9681700: Operation: 'isequal' 9163.747344027:7f66a9681700: Value....: 'imudp' 9163.747359865:7f66a9681700: Filter: check for property 'inputname' (value 'imudp') isequal 'imudp': TRUE 9163.747370811:7f66a9681700: batch: item 0 PROPFILT 1 9163.747376767:7f66a9681700: scriptExec: batch of 1 elements, active 0x7f66980008e0, active[0]:1 9163.747382283:7f66a9681700: ACTION 0x1fb4d40 [omprog::omprog:;observium] 9163.747404416:7f66a9681700: RRRR: execAct [omprog]: batch of 1 elements, active 0x7f66980008e0 9163.747411147:7f66a9681700: Called action(NotAllMark), processing batch[0] via 'omprog' 9163.747416542:7f66a9681700: Called action(Batch), logging to omprog 9163.747428741:7f66a9681700: submitBatch: enter, nElem 1 9163.747437691:7f66a9681700: tryDoAction 0x1fb4d40, pnElem 1, nElem 1 9163.747443729:7f66a9681700: Action 0x1fb4d40 transitioned to state: itx 9163.747449524:7f66a9681700: entering actionCalldoAction(), state: itx 9163.747471965:7f66a9681700: executing program '/opt/observium/syslog.php' 9163.747917480:7f66a9681700: child has pid 27457 9163.747944939:7f66a9681700: Action 0x1fb4d40 transitioned to state: rdy 9163.747956857:7f66a9681700: action 0x1fb4d40 call returned 0 9163.747978533:7f66a9681700: scriptExec: batch of 1 elements, active 0x7f66980008e0, active[0]:1 9163.748003042:7f66a9681700: STOP and it even returns 0 ! anyone ever stumbled upon such a problem? i put in an additional line in 30-observium.conf :inputname, isequal, "imudp" /var/log/remote/debug.log;observium and it logs my messages just fine any ideas would be highly appreciated best regards Serge

Hi, is it possible to write my own methods for alert contacts? I'd like to add other services, similar to Pushover, which use a JSON API. Is there any documentation I can use to get started? -- Mobile: 07868246225 Skype: tvaughan Twitter: twitter.com/tvaughan

$config['snmp']['max-rep'] working?
by Tim Cooper 02 Oct '15

02 Oct '15

Hi Chaps, I'm trying to use $config['snmp']['max-rep] = 9 to work around an issue with a device that won't return everything from ifAlias when using the default (10), however checking the discovery debug it doesn't actually seem to actually be setting the -Cr option in snmpbulkwalk? Am I missing something else to make this work, or is it actually just not working due to its 'experimental' state in the documentation? Running 0.15.10.7059 Thanks, Tim C
