How long until removed ports are deleted?
by Ron Marosko 01 Jan '16

01 Jan '16

Happy New Year, all ya’ll Observium folks. So while everyone else is on holiday, I’m getting to do work. And this brought up an interesting question. I’m mostly removing old/unutilized 10/100/1000 line cards from a Catalyst 6509 today, and in a couple cases installing 10Gb linecards. Right now, I’ve already pulled three linecards from one chassis, and decided to force some discovery/polling of the chassis to see if the old ports will go away… and they haven’t. Doing a “show modules” on the switch confirms the line cards have been removed, but in the device port properties page, Observium still considers them “disabled / down”. Manually running the housekeeping script with the –p option says there are no ports to delete, even when I have manually gone into config.php and set the time duration to be really short (like 1*1 instead of 30*86400). Which brings me to the question… how long does it take for Observium to consider a port or ports “deleted” after it has been removed from the chassis?

Discovery script crash on build 7383.
by Ron Marosko 01 Jan '16

01 Jan '16

All, Not sure if this is just isolated to me or what… just upgraded to 7383 via svn, and happened to force a discovery on a node trying to troubleshoot why neighbors were no longer being displayed on the ports page on a couple Catalyst 6509s I’m polling, and got the following error: ##### Module Start: bgp-peers ##### No BGP on hostPHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Argument 1 passed to print_cli_table() must be of the type array, null given, called in /opt/observium/includes/discovery/bgp-peers.inc.php on line 458 and defined in /opt/observium/includes/functions.inc.php:2226 Stack trace: #0 /opt/observium/includes/discovery/bgp-peers.inc.php(458): print_cli_table(NULL, Array) #1 /opt/observium/includes/discovery/functions.inc.php(242): include('/opt/observium/...') #2 /opt/observium/discovery.php(182): discover_device(Array, Array) #3 {main} thrown in /opt/observium/includes/functions.inc.php on line 2226 Anyone else seeing this problem? …Ron -- This message has been scanned by E.F.A.

Re: [Observium] 6880-X Fan Tray Failure
by Sam Hernandez-gill 30 Dec '15

Going back through some old mailing lists, didn’t see a reply to this one: http://postman.memetic.org/pipermail/observium/2015-April/010117.html I have the same issue here on Cisco 6880-X’s. Sh Env shows no problem with Fan Tray 1 50V Power Supply status, but observium alerts on the snmp status of the C6880-X Fan Tray 1 – Fan Tray 1 50V Power Supply. [cid:image001.png@01D1419B.9C7B7D10] From any C6880-X itself: fan-tray 1: fan-tray 1 type: C6880-X-FAN fan-tray 1 mode: Mode1 fan-tray 1 fan-fail: OK fan-tray 1 50V Power Supply: OK fan-tray 1 firmware version: 7 I believe this is OID http://tools.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/BrowseOID.do?local=en&translate=Tran… Object cevSensorFanTrayStatus OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.12.3.1.8.37 Currently with a status alert checker observium will generate an alert for this. So how can I help determine if the switch is really saying the Fan Tray power status Is bad via snmp or if it’s just a problem in how observium is interpreting the response?

[cid:1F6CEEEE-9AE3-4666-8C8B-B90AE68BB8F7] I’m using Observium Enterprise and it seems to think this port is 1g (port speed is displayed as 1Gbps) , clicking on the data button shows the following for int speed, and int hight speed. Are these the right values for a 10g port? fSpeed=>1000000000 ifHighSpeed=>1000

rabbitmq and ELK stack
by Stefaans Mostert (GBL) 30 Dec '15

30 Dec '15

Morning all. Pretty new to Observium so I need to ask some questions, as I am under a little time pressure. A bump to the correct doc's will also be appreciated. First server I would like to do is an ELK collector. Ubuntu 14.04 Logstash Rabbitmq Observium unix_agent Now how do I integrate this into my Observium monitoring? unix_agent plugin? I want to monitor things like exchanges, queues and such like. Found this(for zabbix) that I can use to get my rabbitmq stats. Thanx a lot, after the first one I will be able to handle it myself :D Steff Stefaans Mostert Contractor: Linux System Administrator Tel: +27 11 459 1804 Fax: +27 11 459 1872 Website:http://www.grindrodbank.co.za Fourth Floor, Grindrod Tower, 8A Protea Place, Sandton PO Box 78011, Sandton, 2146

Collectd ping plugin graph issue
by Senses0 30 Dec '15

30 Dec '15

Hi, I have collectd configured in Observium and pretty much all the plugins I tried work. There is an issue rendering one graph generated by ping plugin though. Say, I'm measuring latency to "netflix.com". After measurements, the plugin sends following 3 RRD files to Observium - ping-netflix.com.rrd - ping_stddev-netflix.com.rrd - ping_droprate-netflix.com.rrd While observium renders stddev and droprate graphs, it doesn't render "ping-netflix.com.rrd". RRD command produces below error. "RRDTool Output: ERROR: No DS called 'ping' in '/opt/collectd-rrd/server-f04/ping/ping-netflix.com.rrd'" RRD dump has "value" as DS name in *ALL* 3 rrd files (as opposed to "ping"). For some reason, Observium doesn't use the correct DS name for the first file.

storage wrong on ubuntu 14.04
by Simon Smith 29 Dec '15

29 Dec '15

Hi All, I’m just wondering if any one has the same issue I’m having im monitoring a ubuntu 14.04 container running vpn software for some reason the storage in observium is showing /run, /run/lock, /run/shm, /run/user, /sys/fs/cgroup and completely missing / i use the unix-agent to get extra info out and i can see in there the following <<<df>>> /var/lib/vz/private/105 simfs 10485760 1307760 9178000 13% / none devtmpfs 1048576 4 1048572 1% /dev <<<mounts>>> /dev/simfs / simfs rw,relatime 0 0 so i don’t understand why its not showing the / mount ? i currently also monitor a ubuntu 12.04 container and that shows the storage correctly ? is it the SNMP thats the issue? or any other ideas? regards Simon

Revert to previous UI template/theme
by Vaggelis Koutroumpas 29 Dec '15

29 Dec '15

Hello, After upgrading to rev 7360 the whole UI has changed drastically. I have to admit I do not like the new UI layout. My screen resolution is 1920*1080. Resizing the browser window down to ~1870px width or less then I get the old layout. Is there a way to revert to the previous template? I guess it should be a matter of editing some CSS to change that? Thank you.

WMI information display broken?
by Ron Marosko 25 Dec '15

Ok, so I'm beginning to wonder if something was broken. I actually have WMI polling working with my implementation, and once upon a time the information learned via WMI would be displayed on the (workstation, server) display. Now, however, I'm finding that even though the poller.php is learning the WMI information: ##### Module Start: wmi ##### WMI Poller: Windows version updated: Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1 (6.1.7601) Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5160 @ 3.00GHz Storage WMI: .. o Module time 3.2564s When I view the specific page for that server, for example, the system shows: Operating system: Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (NT 6.1) (Multiprocessor) And under Processors, it shows "Unknown Processor Type". >From the wmi poll debugging for the processor, for example: CMD[/bin/wmic --user='administrator' --password='hahayeahnope' --workgroup='SERVERNAME' --delimiter=## --namespace='root\CIMV2' -d2 //10.1.9.10 "SELECT * FROM Win32_Processor"] EXITCODE[0] CMD RUNTIME[2.5169s] STDOUT[ [param/loadparm.c:2462:lp_load()] lp_load: refreshing parameters from /dev/null [auth/gensec/gensec.c:1205:gensec_register()] gensec subsystem fake_gssapi_krb5 is disabled [auth/gensec/gensec.c:1205:gensec_register()] gensec subsystem gssapi_spnego is disabled [librpc/rpc/dcerpc_connect.c:513:continue_map_binding()] Mapped to DCERPC endpoint 135 [lib/com/dcom/main.c:1172:bind_new_pipe()] lib/com/dcom/main.c:1172: dcom_get_pipe: host=10.1.9.10, similar=10.1.9.10[49154] [wmi/wmic.c:196:main()] OK : Login to remote object.
