Geolocalisation resets after housekeeping
by Pascal Minery 21 Apr '16

21 Apr '16

Hi, After the last observium update, I started to see the following bug : - Manually entered location on devices is automaticaly replaced by it’s snmp value after the daily « /opt/observium/housekeeping.php -ya » trigered by cron. Here some log of a device : 2016-04-20 20:36:59 mgt-ac038.artecad.local Geolocation (GOOGLE) -> [33.697950, -111.986414] United States (Country), Arizona (State), Maricopa (County), Phoenix (City) 2016-04-20 20:36:59 mgt-ac038.artecad.local Location -> 'Expeditions' 2016-04-20 15:49:35 Port 1 Interface changed: [ifSpeed] '1000000000' -> '10000000'; [ifHighSpeed] '1000' -> '10'; [ifLastChange] '2016-04-20 06:57:47' -> '2016-04-20 15:49:33' 2016-04-20 08:27:17 mgt-ac038.artecad.local Geolocation (GOOGLE) -> [47.223503, 7.102975] Switzerland (Country), Canton of Bern (State), Courtelary (County), Tramelan (City) 2016-04-20 08:27:17 mgt-ac038.artecad.local Location -> 'Artecad SA, 2720 Tramelan' For the test, I forced again today the location and executed a housekeeping in a short time after : 2016-04-21 14:42:33 mgt-ac038.artecad.local Geolocation (GOOGLE) -> [33.697950, -111.986414] United States (Country), Arizona (State), Maricopa (County), Phoenix (City) 2016-04-21 14:42:32 mgt-ac038.artecad.local Location -> 'Expeditions' 2016-04-21 13:58:41 mgt-ac038.artecad.local Geolocation (GOOGLE) -> [40.139723, -111.405206] United States (Country), Utah (State), Utah (County), Springville (City) 2016-04-21 13:58:40 mgt-ac038.artecad.local Location -> 'test1' This is a new behaviour since the last update. The manual location should be forced and not modified by the snmp value. Can this be corrected ? Thank you.

libvirt config
by Jesper Frank Nemholt 21 Apr '16

21 Apr '16

Hi! I get this error when enabling libvirt. This is on a CentOS 7 with Qemu : ##### *Module Start: **virtual-machines* ##### Virtual machines: Libvirt VM: Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password). Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password). I have configured the following in config.php : $config['enable_libvirt'] = 1; # Enable Libvirt VM support $config['libvirt_protocols'] = array("qemu+ssh","xen+ssh"); # Mechanisms used, add or remove if not using this on any of your machines. What else is needed ? I assume either username/password or key based access, but does this have to be set for the user running the observium poller/discovery or elsewhere ? /Jesper

http-auth issue . [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
by Peter.Hine＠familycourt.gov.au 21 Apr '16

21 Apr '16

I created a dev instance (CE: 0.16.1.7533 ) to investigate the wmi / win2k8 unknown processor issue. This correctly shows the processor but doesn't auto login with " AuthBasicFake guest guest" in the apache conf like the production one does. to setup : cp config.php.default config.php sed -i -e s:USERNAME:observium: -e s:PASSWORD:xxxxx: -e 's:"public":"xxxxxxxxx", "public":' config.php (added fping location and proxy info to config.php) ./discovery.php -u ./adduser.php admin xxxx 10 ./adduser.php guest guest 5 ./add_device.php $HOSTNAME going to https://observium.dev.gov.au, i can login as either guest or admin and see everything correctly. I added "AuthBasicFake guest guest" to the apache config and restarted apache. but it won't login automagically. I edited html/index.php and added the following at line 97 print_vars($_SERVER); this shows me that "AuthBasicFake" is working PHP_AUTH_USER=>guest PHP_AUTH_PW=>guest is there a step that i missed ??? thanks Peter Hine Senior Technical Support Engineer (Servers) FCoA ITS peter.hine(a)familycourt.gov.au ********************************************************************** The information contained in this e-mail (including any attachments) is for the exclusive use of the addressee.

Observium Geolocation Not as Manual Configuration in Config.php
by Idzma Zakaria 20 Apr '16

20 Apr '16

Hi, I manually config geolocation as below details. // Geocoding Setting $config['geocoding']['enable'] = TRUE; // Enable Geocoding $config['geocoding']['api'] = 'google'; // Which GEO API use ('mapquest', 'google', 'yahoo', 'openstreetmap', 'yandex') $config['geocoding']['api_key'] = 'sjfasdjhfdsjlkfjsdjfaldj'; // API KEY if required $config['geocoding']['default']['lat'] = '13.0731060'; // Default latitude $config['geocoding']['default']['lon'] = '80.1937312'; // Default longitude Why it wont follow my manual configuration in config.php?All my devices are all over the world. Really appreciate if someone can assist me on this.

problem with overall traffic view
by emilio brambilla 20 Apr '16

20 Apr '16

hello, I found a little problem (maybe not a bug, but I think is not so good). if I use "overall_traffic" aggregation (ie for peering) observium make a graph with stacking the traffic from all the ports with a description starting with a label (ie "peering:"), and it works ok. but if I modify a port (ie dismiss a peering, removing also the "peering:" label from the router interface) observium remove all the pregress traffic the old interface did from the 'peering' graph, so you lose part of the old stats :-( isn't it possible to have the overall_traffic collected in a dedicated rrd, use the sum of labelled interfaces for new data and use the rrd data for the old data in order to have a real historic data even if I change a port? thanks -- bye, emilio

The includes/definitions/os.inc.php file has a do not edit disclaimer at the top. Is there a file I can make changes to to add the 'remote access' options? I may have edited the file anyway and the options propagated appropriately to the devices. Will these changes be reverted during a svn up?

Printer toner alert
by Attila Nagy 19 Apr '16

19 Apr '16

Hi All! I'm fairly new with the alerts, so don't hit me too hard. :) I'm trying to create an alert checker for some printers, it should send an alert when the toner level is below 5%. The associations seem OK, at least my Device Match rule "|type equals printer|" (with an "*" entity match) yields all the printers in Observium. But the condition rule seems suspect to me. Based on the documentation and the examples I wrote: |"supply_value lt 5%" |but it shows everything OK on all printers, despite of having at least 3 printers with 1% toner cartridge. Could you help me, what am I doing wrong, or what's missing? Btw: I'm using the latest CE version. Should I include some more information? Regards, Tylla

Customizing Recent Events
by Sandor Kocsis 18 Apr '16

18 Apr '16

Dear all, I’d like to put a filter on “Recent Events” section of the dashboard, but I could not find any information regarding that. Now the section is too chatty, for example I see lots of these messages: Et140/1/48 Interface changed: [ifDuplex] '' -> ‘unknown’ or Et141/1/39 Interface changed: [ifDuplex] '' -> 'fullDuplex' But what I’d like to see is when an interface goes up and down, and hide not important messages if possible.
