NLNOG Ring
by Adam Armstrong 01 May '12

01 May '12

Hi All, I'd like to direct your attention to another project run by some friends of mine: the NLNOG RING. The project is based around the goals of making network debugging much easier. When trying to debug complex problems and plan future upgrades, a point of view from outside your network is absolutely essential. Seeing what others see is incredibly useful when dealing with a variety of network problems. Well known examples are 'it works for even numbered ip address, but not for odd numbered ip address via this and this route'. To streamline such debugging the NLNOG RING was formed. In essence the project is very simple: you make a (virtual) machine available to the RING, and you gain access on all other servers which are part of the RING. The project currently has 98 nodes, located on 89 participant networks in 24 countries. The RING provides tools to trivially launch a ping from all these nodes and summarize the results to, other examples are distributed tracerouting and MTU testing. The RING also maintains a record of latencies between nodes using smokeping to help identify historic problems. Before applying to join, keep the following requirements in mind: * The organisation you work for has BGP routers connected to the "Default Free Zone". * Your organisation has its own ASN, IPv4 and IPv6 prefix(es). * You have enable or configure rights on those routers. * You have permission from your organisation to become involved in the NLNOG RING. Have a look at https://ring.nlnog.net/for more information. You can also email ring-admins(a)ring.nlnog.net with any questions you have. adam.

Subdirectory
by churnd dnruhc 01 May '12

Is it possible to use observium on a webserver as a subdirectory, i.e. https://server/observium? I'm a small shop that's part of a bigger organization & I don't have access to DNS to create a subdomain. Apologies if this has been answered already. I did a quick search & saw a similar question asked, but the thread didn't seem to contain an answer I could see. TIA

The old one is also hundredths. The only kid which gives while units is one of the new ones. Adam. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

If it was displaying 0.13, then there is some maths failure within the polling code (or discovery is storing the wrong settings in the database). True, I noticed that. Observium seams to do everything right for this OID, but it is not getting this oid, it is getting the "old" one. And there I get real percents back. Attached is a Screenshot of that MIB part. The real question is in my opinion, how to get the new OID to work. The Processor discovery as it is now can in my opinion only detect the old one.

No VLANs tab / Cisco 2960S / 0.12.4.3087
by Adam Armstrong 27 Apr '12

27 Apr '12

Aha. This is because we check for 1,2 and two, three for vtp version. This will be fixed later today, i'm just rewriting the discovery module to be more sane. adam.

data missing on BGP IPv4 prefixes graphs

Hello! there are an "Error Drawing Graph" on BGP IPv4 Prefixes page graphs. (/routing/protocol=bgp/type=all/graph=prefixes_ipv4unicast/view=graphs/) I don't know if this error appears in last update... little question about mail notification: do you have disabled the notification of DOWN of a BGP Peer? it works when peering is going UP or FLAP only! many thanks! dario -- http://www.playnet.it phone +39 055 3226622 - fax +39 055 3226444 Brain Technology s.p.a. - AS 13284 http://www.linkedin.com/in/dariocalamai

problem with Sentry3-MIB, 3 phase CDU's
by Darrell Budic 21 Apr '12

21 Apr '12

Hi, Running Observium 0.11.12.2749 on SL5 for this issue. Updated to 3069 and still has the same issues. But anyway: Noticed my Sentry CDU's were not picking up current or voltage information, tracked it down to a issue with the MIB. Not sure if it's the MIB in general or my version of the snmp utilities, but the discovery module complains it can't find the MIB when run in debug mode. Turns out my snmpget doesn't like the whitespace before the "Sentry3-MIB DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN" line. I removed the whitespace and discovered the sensors. Then I noticed I had 3 phase CDU's, and the discovery code for the Sentrys only deals with 1 phase units. Here's the diffs of my hack to enable detection of all 3 phases. I think this will work on single phase units as well, although it will probably take a little longer as it scans for the nonexistent phases. I have no single phase units to test it on, however, so YMMV. 16c16,20 < $infeed_oids = snmp_walk($device, "infeedID.$towers.1", "-Osqn", "Sentry3-MIB"); --- > # These PDUs may have > 1 infeed for 3 phase systems > $phase=1; > while ($phase <= 3) { > > $infeed_oids = snmp_walk($device, "infeedID.$towers.$phase", "-Osqn", "Sentry3-MIB"); 31c35 < $infeed_oid = "1.3.6.1.4.1.1718.3.2.2.1.7." . $towers .
