Autodiscovery Question
by Lyndon Labuschagne 18 Nov '15

18 Nov '15

Hi All I have added the below to the config file, but nothing seems to be getting discovered, is there a $config[Œautodiscover¹] = TRUE or something I am missing? $config['autodiscovery']['ip_nets'] = array("10.200.4.0/24", "10.200.1.0/24"); $config['autodiscovery']['xdp'] = TRUE; // Autodiscover hosts via discovery protocols $config['autodiscovery']['snmpscan'] = TRUE; // autodiscover hosts via SNMP scanning $config['discover_services'] = false; ## Autodiscover services via SNMP on devices of type "server"

Front page custom graphs not displaying as expected
by Josh Bierman 17 Nov '15

17 Nov '15

Hello all, here is the snippet from my config.php ----------------------------------------------------- // Device status settings // Show the status messages you want $config['frontpage']['device_status']['max']['interval'] = 24; // Maximal interval for which to display devices status (in hours) $config['frontpage']['device_status']['max']['count'] = 200; $config['frontpage']['device_status']['uptime'] = true; $config['frontpage']['device_status']['devices'] = true; // Show the down devices $config['frontpage']['device_status']['ports'] = true; // Show the down ports $config['frontpage']['device_status']['links'] = true; // Show the down inter-device links (with CDP/LLDP linked devices) $config['frontpage']['device_status']['errors'] = true; // Show the ports with interface errors/ $config['frontpage']['device_status']['services'] = true; // Custom traffic graphs $config['frontpage']['custom_traffic']['ids'] = "3697"; // COMMA SEPARATED PORT ID FOR EXAMPLE: "1,2,3,4,5" $config['frontpage']['custom_traffic']['title'] = "Traffic"; // Your own title for the custom traffic graphs // Custom mini graphs $config['frontpage']['minigraphs']['ids'] = "51,device_processor,CPU"; // Comma and semicolon separated array list, first the device id or graph id followed by the image type and the text header you want (example: "2,$ $config['frontpage']['minigraphs']['legend'] = false; // Enable/Disable the legend on custom mini graph view $config['frontpage']['minigraphs']['title'] = "Mini Graphs Overview"; -------------------------------------------------- Based on that config I would expect graphs for 4 ports, showing 24 hour time periods on each, and a mini graph underneath showing CPU usage on that device (its a fortinet firewall) Instead I see this: [image: Inline image 1] Traffic graphs for one port, three timescales and no CPU.

Question about Map Locations, Geocoding and SNMP
by Ximena Cardinali 17 Nov '15

17 Nov '15

Hello There, Here's the situation: Last week we changed our Geocoding API to yandex, just for the sake of testing. After that, our map Locations looked really funny. Then, we changed back to mapquest and now our map shows just the Atlantic Ocean. Before that, we had no Geocoding API on our Observium config. Our Locations were all being retrieved from the SNMP Config (sysLocation) from all our devices. I also tried with "$config['geocoding']['enable'] = FALSE;" and with "$config['location_menu_geocoded'] = FALSE;" but I still get the ocean. So here's my stupid question: How can I go back to our first Status, where all Locations are retrieved per SNMP without Geocoding and our Map shows back the Devices as we had in the Setup? Thanks! --- *Ximena E. Cardinali *| Linux SysAdmin

New Observium install showing text where PHP should be?
by linuxthefish 16 Nov '15

16 Nov '15

Hi, I've just followed the Observium install instructions and I have a strange issue with Observium's PHP files. I'm not sure if this is an Apache issue as I don't use Apache and installed it as the instructions said, but I created a phpinfo file and it ran fine! This was first seen with the Subscription edition, but I've removed that and tried the community edition with the same problems. the issue is that observium is showing a file that starts with the following in my browser: <?php /** * Observium * * This file is part of Observium. * * @package observium * @subpackage webinterface * @author Adam Armstrong <adama(a)memetic.org> * @copyright (C) 2006-2015 Adam Armstrong * */ Thanks, Edmund

UNIX-Agent on remote client
by Federico Olivieri 16 Nov '15

16 Nov '15

Hi All I have a server that is running Observium with Unix Agent and everything is ok. Recently I installed a second remote server and is a SNMP client on my observium. Because this server is running Power DNS I would enable the UNIX-AGENT om this client and see the graphs for pdns on my Observium. Can anyone assist me on this? Thank You very much Federico

Does per-user permission exist in LDAP?
by Cody Cook 15 Nov '15

15 Nov '15

Now that I'm LDAP authenticating to my domain, am I completely restricted to using auth_ldap_groups to set permissions? In the UI, I can go to User > Edit Users, drop down the list to see my domain users, but when I try to apply changes to these users (setting Global Read, or Normal user), I am redirected to the Observium User Management screen with no visible changes to any user account. There's no notification to tell me what went wrong or that editing LDAP user permissions is not possible. After switching to LDAP, Observium no longer provides authentication errors, and I'm getting something to the same effect when trying to edit users. Clicking on a user in my level 10 shows me that this user is an administrator, but users in my level 1 are showing disabled. The drop down list shows the same level 10 users as disabled as well. /debug doesn't help since it reloads the page. profile_sql doesn't seem to show me every SQL query being made.

Then I see the side effect of the of the duplicate entries with the fdb table because the poller processes are running so slowly they are stacking on top of each other. So I have some kind of performance issue. One strange thing, I only have 45 devices I?m polling, yet the port count under the Port menu says I have 44859 ports. That must be a miscalculation of some type or my database is messed up somewhere. Not sure if related or not. Going to continue to try the poller manually and see if I can figure out where the slowdown is. From: observium [mailto:observium-bounces@observium.org] On Behalf Of Adam Armstrong Sent: Wednesday, August 12, 2015 1:33 AM To: observium(a)observium.org Subject: Re: [Observium] 'Duplicate entry' issues on vlans_fdb Man, why didn't I think of this? This sounds like the problem. I guess something caused your poller processes to get confused, and they ended up running in parallel, not unthinkable when the same part of the poller process runs for so long, 74 seconds for the fdb-table module. If you don't /really/ need this data, I'd recommend disabling it. It's one of the trade offs we have to make between performance and data. If you still want the fdb data, you can force that module to be run using a less-often scheduled process in cron like ./poller.php -h all -m fdb-table Note that this will break whatever graphs (fdb count?) that fdb-table produces, but you'll still have the data in the database. adam.

What boolean operators are available when creating groups ?
by Jesper Frank Nemholt 11 Nov '15

11 Nov '15

Hi! I've been using equals and match and wildcard (*) when aggregating together data in the group feature, however I now have to create a group where I need to exclude certain things and select others with wildcard. I am not sure this works, and I can't find anything in the documentation about it. basically I need to include all hosts with a certain hostname pattern, except a few ones with a slightly different pattern. If I wrote it in two lines, it would be like this : hostname match foo-is*.bar.com hostname != foo-is4*.bar.com Anyway way to do this ? /Jesper
