Zoom in, city level
by Ricardo Franco Cantero 07 Aug '18

Hi, Is there an option create a zoomed in 'home page' where you can set a specific size of the map? For example, we have our entire county now displaying on the homepage on the map but we would like to see a city only so that we can display this city onto a separate monitor of us. Kind regards, Ricardo Franco Cantero

FortiSwitch Ports Query
by Matthew Goeres 06 Aug '18

06 Aug '18

Hi, I recently upgraded from one of the turnkey appliances to Observium running in a VM on its own running Observium CE 17.9.0. Since that upgrade my queries for ports haven't been completed against my main FortiSwitch. Looking at the poller times the ports module seems to be taking the longest (ports/1,562.4587s/156.25%). Debugging that on the fortiswitch I am seeing the following queries and very high CPU usage on the FortiSwitch (124D running 3.6.6). Is there a way to disable that query specifically rather than ports as a whole? snmpd: <msg> 49 bytes xxxxx:8089 -> xxxxx/xxxxx:161 (itf 32.32) snmpd: checking if community "xxxxx" is valid snmpd: checking against community "xxxxx" snmpd: request 1(root)/32/xxxxx == comm 1/0/0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 snmpd: matched community "xxxxx" snmpd: get-next: OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.17.7.1.4.3.1 : dot1qVlanStaticEntry .4.1964 -> (snmpd: get_last_index_dot1qVlanStaticTable() snmpd: get_dot1qVlanStaticEntry() fld:4 ) -> 0 snmpd: </msg> 1 snmpd: <msg> 49 bytes xxxxx:17885 -> xxxxx/xxxxx:161 (itf 32.32) snmpd: checking if community "xxxxx" is valid snmpd: checking against community "xxxxx" snmpd: request 1(root)/32/xxxxx == comm 1/0/0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 snmpd: matched community "xxxxx" snmpd: get-next: OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.17.7.1.4.3.1 : dot1qVlanStaticEntry .4.859 -> (snmpd: get_last_index_dot1qVlanStaticTable() snmpd: get_dot1qVlanStaticEntry() fld:4 d) -> 0 snmpd: </msg> 1 Thanks, Matt

Re: [Observium] devices' storage does not show up correctly

Hi, In general when using RHEL you have to become proficient at finding lots of non-ancient packages. There are a few places with 5.7.x net-snmp packages for RHEL6, for example: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/23454973/dir/redhat_el_6/com/ne… Note that this is not really our area though, and the development team specifically do not use RHEL/CentOS because they're a nightmare to maintain (ironnically, many people choose them because they think they're easy to maintain, hah!). adam. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Tal Mazor" <tal.mazor(a)radcom.com> To: "observium(a)observium.org" <observium(a)observium.org> Sent: 2018-08-05 14:54:29 Subject: [Observium] devices' storage does not show up correctly >Hi guys, > >I’m getting alerts for high disk usage for some of my servers. > >The alerts are false as my actual partition disk size is 9.6T and total >disk size is 9.9T. > > > > > > > > > >In the Observium.org FAQ I can see the this issue is known for volumes > >16TB, but looks like it’s the same from 10TB. > >I’m running Net-SNMP 5.5 on Centos 6.9 and I was trying to find a later >release but couldn’t. is 5.7 supported only on Centos 7? > > > > > > >Thanks! > > > > >

devices' storage does not show up correctly
by Tal Mazor 05 Aug '18

Hi guys, I'm getting alerts for high disk usage for some of my servers. The alerts are false as my actual partition disk size is 9.6T and total disk size is 9.9T. [cid:image002.jpg@01D42CDC.F7960BA0] [cid:image001.png@01D419E5.810487F0] In the Observium.org FAQ I can see the this issue is known for volumes >16TB, but looks like it's the same from 10TB. I'm running Net-SNMP 5.5 on Centos 6.9 and I was trying to find a later release but couldn't. is 5.7 supported only on Centos 7? [cid:image004.png@01D419E6.3963EED0] Thanks!

Is building groups broken? Can't get it to work.
by Henrik Cednert (Filmlance) 03 Aug '18

03 Aug '18

Hello Running 18.8.9360 (3rd August 2018). Noticed that “groups” have gotten a sweet ass looking upgrade! =))) Nice one! But I have issues when building the groups. Thought it had to do with the “,” and “|” as separator, since that seems to have changed under the hood. So I tried to recreate an old rule and make the new one just like the old one. But when building it i end up at a blank page with the "Building groups memberships” heading. Nothing happens and when I refresh the page no sensors are in the group. Am I missing something? Picture of the old working group and the new one I made. What did I do wrong? [cid:6BC76FC6-6363-4298-A519-392F95B7C800] Old working rule. “|” as separator of hostnames under “association ruleset” but “,” once you enter the edit mode. Is this expeted behaviour? [cid:7E5BC9FB-7903-4C44-9913-9EAAE8A360C9] Cheers and thanks -- Henrik Cednert / + 46 704 71 89 54 / CTO / Filmlance Disclaimer, the hideous bs disclaimer at the bottom is forced, sorry. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Disclaimer The information contained in this communication from the sender is confidential.

multiple pollers and poller-wrapper history
by Christian Eriksson 03 Aug '18

03 Aug '18

Hi, Is it possible to see graphs under /pollerlog/view=wrapper/ for each poller when using poller-wrapper with -g option? All pollers are polling their indivudal host group and putting the rrd's over rrdcached, but as of now the filename is the same, so either they will overwrite the files depending of the rrdcached settings, or nothing will happen if file exists ERROR: rrdcached: RRD Error: creating '/opt/observium/rrd/poller-wrapper.rrd': File exists ERROR: rrdcached: RRD Error: creating '/opt/observium/rrd/poller-wrapper_count.rrd': File exists Regards Christian

Hi guys, Hope someone here can shed some light on my issue with rrdcached and observium. I am using a distributed setup with web/sql/poller on separate machines. Followed the guide here http://blog.best-practice.se/2017/10/scaling-observium-horizontally.html and currently using two pollers with great success overall What I can't seem to figure out is why some rrd files won't get created. It doesn't matter what poller I am using or what devices, it is always the following rrd-files ping.rrd ping_snmp.rrd status.rrd [cid:image002.png@01D42A5F.99A20960] [cid:image005.png@01D42A5F.99A20960] Some information regarding my system Observium 18.7.9354 (30th July 2018) OS Linux 4.4.0-130-generic [amd64] (Ubuntu 16.04) Apache 2.4.18 (Ubuntu) PHP 7.0.30-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 (OPcache: ENABLED) Python 2.7.12 MySQL 5.7.23-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 (extension: mysqli 5.0.12-dev) SNMP NET-SNMP 5.7.3 RRDtool 1.5.5 (rrdcached 1.5.5: unix:/var/run/rrdcached.sock) Fping 3.13 (IPv4 and IPv6) rrdcached settings $config['rrdcached'] = 'ip address'; $config['rrd']['no_local'] = TRUE; root@server:/home/user# ps aux | grep rrdcached observi+ 13596 1.6 0.5 1727784 45980 ?
