remedies to overcome vrf dance?

it appears that (non-global) VRFs (esp. wrt. RIB OIDs) somehow are seen by OBS only in my ASR 1ks and horde of c3750x. comparing with a handful of v6.1 Nexii 7k (and their vdc's), along with some archaic-but-still-v15 c3560s, the returned set is null. q1) need for the ugliness of snmp context mapping per vrf? q2) if so, is OBS prepared to iterate over the multiple communities per device? curious, R.

I very much doubt reinstalling mysql will make any difference at all. You probably want to try adding a user to mysql with the correct user/pass first. We do give a. Nice copy/pasteable example for that... Adam.

Hi, I am building an Observium server on a Dell server (not a vm) and have run into the problem that when I run the command, php includes/update/update.php I get: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user observium@localhost (using passwd: YES) Now, when I select user, host from mysql.user; I DO see the observium user. No, I cannot log into the mysql with observium user, however. So, I know I'm close, but I'm not there yet, any assistance would be great. Regards, Ryan Milton Network Manager o: 201-447-1505 x124 c: 862-249-5230

Its not clear what your problem is from your description. I can say the issue is 99% likely to be fixed by following the install guide properly. Adam.

RRD Graphing problems
by Gerry Armstrong 24 Jul '13

24 Jul '13

Hi Guys, I am having a problem displaying data in the graphs. If I select an interface that has traffic reported and drill down to the graph I see all the graph entries with -nan but if I select the RealTime graph I can see the traffic flow. Can anyone explain why this would be and how I can resolve this? Thanks for any assistance with this. Regards, Gerry

There is no community indexing for the vrf MIBs as far as I have seen. It's quite common for Cisco to not bother implementing what they consider to be service provider MIBs on enterprise hardware. This is probably something you need to direct to Cisco. Note that we currently consider the vrf tracking in Observium to be broken and unusable. Adam.

Re: [Observium] observium php session timeout affecting another application?

This stuff will be replaced sometime. Perhaps both we and cacti are using stupid cookie names? Adam.

observium php session timeout affecting another application?
by Eric 24 Jul '13

24 Jul '13

i'm running two php applications on a LAMP machine. one is cacti, the other is observium. i'm using name-based virtual hosting with one IP address. when i have just the cacti virtual host running, i can stay logged in to cacti forever, i.e. my session never times out. when i enable the observium virtual host, cacti prompts me for my login credentials again after 1-2 minutes. i'm using LDAP authentication for cacti and the built-in authentication for observium (user added via adduser.php). any idea why that would be?

Strange issue
by DaZZa 24 Jul '13

24 Jul '13

Hi folks. I've been noticing a strange issue when using Observium in the last couple of days which has me scratching my head. Occasionally, when I am browsing devices, or device components, I'll get a graph or image which just comes up reading "no authorisation" or similar - and anything else I click on results in my being kicked back to the logon screen. I don't *think* it's an inactivity timeout - at the times I have noticed this happening I specifically noticed it because I was in the middle of doing something. Is there something else I could have misconfigured which would cause this behaviour? Thanks. DaZZa

Please do not post modifications to Observium files to this list. (Or write them as 'guides' on blogs). It interferes with the svn update mechanism and causes significant issues to users who aren't familiar with RCS. The correct way to submit this is as a patch to jira.observium.org. Thanks, Adam.
