Device taking > 5 minutes to poll
by Jason Lixfeld 25 Oct '17

25 Oct '17

Hey all, I’ve got a device (Zhone MXK-F) with over 10,000 ports on it, and Observium is taking well over 5 minutes to poll it (upwards of 15 minutes, actually). While there isn’t a definition specifically for MXK-F, it’s getting detected as MXK. os.inc.php is setting max-rep 50, so it’s at least trying to bulk walk, but I don’t know if it’s actually working. Overriding to max-rep 100 doesn’t have an affect on the polling time. So, I guess my question is whether or not I’m on the right track in assuming that this issue is likely that of bulk walk on this device, or possibly some other issue, and how would I determine one way or the other? If it’s something that I can pinpoint, I can throw it back to the vendor to fix. From the digging I’ve done so far, all other poller processes called from poller-wrapper complete in under 5 minutes, so I’m fairly certain that this issue is one of the device, not Observium. But, to be thorough, I moved my database and RRD storage over to local SSDs, and also enabled rrdcached - all that to ensure I didn’t have any I/O issues. /pollerlog/view=devices indicates that it’s just the one device that has high timing (although other devices of the same type are spots 2-7 on the top 10 list high timers, but none is over 300 seconds except for this guy). root@monitor:/home/jlixfeld# /opt/observium/poller.php -VV Observium 17.9.8837 ##### Software versions ##### o OS Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 [amd64] (Debian 8 (jessie)) o Apache 2.4.10 o PHP 5.6.30-0+deb8u1 (OPcache: DISABLED) o Python 2.7.9 o MySQL 5.5.55-0+deb8u1 (extension: mysqli 5.5.55) o SNMP NET-SNMP 5.7.2.1 o RRDtool 1.4.8 (rrdcached 1.4.8: unix:/opt/observium/rrdcached.sock) ##### Memory Limit ##### o PHP Unlimited ##### MySQL mode ##### o MySQL ##### Charset info ##### o PHP UTF-8 o MySQL utf8 ##### Timezones info ##### o Date Monday, 02-Oct-17 12:55:15 EDT o PHP -04:00 o MySQL -04:00 root@monitor:/home/jlixfeld# Thanks all!

Observium migration
by Edvinas K 24 Oct '17

24 Oct '17

Hello, I freshly installed Observer community edition. Now i need to migrate all information from old mashine to new one. I'm ready to move these things from old mashine to newone: 1)RRD Folder 2)Mysql db 3)Weathermap configuration with existing interface number (requirements is that they would be left the same). So everything should be Ok, but i noticed in older mashine i see in config.php the db configuration is without "$config['db_extension'] = 'mysqli';" like in new one. Will it's possible to get any problem because of that ? Thanks.

Location list cutted
by El Coyote 24 Oct '17

24 Oct '17

Hi all, I've noticed that if you have a lot of locations you can't see all of them because list in menu is not scrollable. I've about 45 locations and I can't see (and select) last 10.. Thanks

Session lost

Hello Weve had for quite some time problems with our Observium logins. We cant stay for more than a few seconds logged in. We have different users each with their own user/pass and the issue is the same to all of them. Realtime port monitoring is impossible because we cant stay logged in for more than 10 seconds as it says: Cant get data about port xx .. and than we have to log in again and again.. Can you help us troubleshoot this problem and fix it? We tried http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBS-748 Observium 17.9.8859 (25th September 2017) OS Linux 2.6.32-573.26.1.el6.x86_64 [amd64] (CentOS 6.7) Apache 2.2.15 (CentOS) PHP 7.0.6 Python 2.6.6 MySQL 5.1.73 (extension: mysqli 5.1.73) SNMP NET-SNMP 5.5 RRDtool 1.3.8 Thx Mirditor Kuçaj Backbone Network Director <mailto:miri@abissnet.al> miri(a)abissnet.al Abissnet Sh.a. +355 69 60 91 364 +355 (0)44 300 003 Ext 139 Rr.

Graphing OSPF neighbour count?
by Brandwatch NOC 23 Oct '17

23 Oct '17

Hi All, Love Observium, thanks! We had an issue on Friday with an OSPF adjacency; we didn't see it for various reasons and the logs on the device aged out quickly so we don't have a historical on when it came back. We will extend the log depth and possibly ship logs centrally but that doesn't help us on this occasion. This led to me digging around in Observium to see if it had captured the neighbour flapping. The routing tab is great and even shows neighbour count, but it doesn't seem to be graphed (unless I'm overlooking it). Is this something that I could turn on somehow? Many thanks! Chris

Syslog Integration
by Philippe Hurtubise 20 Oct '17

20 Oct '17

Hi, I am trying to configure syslog integration to send syslog from Windows server to Obeservium. I followed instruction on this page http://docs.observium.org/syslog/. But at the bottom of the page I am not sure what to do. Syslog-ng Make sure these options are set : options { chain_hostnames(0); keep_hostname(1); use_dns(no); }; Use this as destination in syslog-ng.conf, change syslog.php path to match yours source s_net { udp(); }; destination d_observium { program("/opt/observium/syslog.php" template ("$HOST||$FACILITY||$LEVEL_NUM||$LEVEL||$TAG||$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY $HOUR:$MIN:$SEC||$MSG||$PROGRAM\n") template-escape(yes)); }; log { source(s_net); destination(d_observium); }; Where do I add options mentioned, where is the syslog-ng.conf file and where do I add sources section. Thanks

Hi Tom, Thanks for your support. I will update my installation and let you know the results. To come back to your earlier question. The MS Teams webhook is indeed a string like this: https://outlook.office.com/webhook/35efe6c3-7319-485a-afd3-1865ffa3c4ed@3b8… I'm a bit struggling with spamfilters and this list to properly receive your replies. I only get a digest. So that's why I reply like this. KR, Epco Message: 8 Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2017 00:39:13 +0200 From: Tom Laermans <tom.laermans(a)powersource.cx> To: observium(a)observium.org Subject: Re: [Observium] Webhook MS Teams not working Message-ID: <e7d7f221-e294-2ba9-32d5-9920bcd86d46(a)powersource.cx> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1252"; Format="flowed" There's a MS Teams transport in the repository now - not fully tested.
