Import end devices via CSV - What's the format?
by Chris Cottingham 17 Jun '24

17 Jun '24

I want to import a lot of my devices via a CSV file. I know there is a way to import from the command line but I don’t see much on the file format for the command line utility. Anyone know the best way to import a lot of devices quickly? Is a CSV the best way to go? Thanks!!

LDAP - Synology
by Lanham Rattan 07 Jun '24

07 Jun '24

I believe I have LDAP sort of working. I am trying to authenticate against a Synology LDAP server. When I use debug mode I see debug info for invalid users and bad passwords but if I enter a proper user and password there is no debug information and I get the error message “User is disabled”. So, I believe I am missing something. Beyond the server bindings I have these settings: $config['auth_ldap_prefix'] = "uid"; $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",dc=clearnetworx,dc=com"; $config['auth_ldap_groupbase'] = "dc=clearnetworx,dc=com"; $config['auth_ldap_groups']['Observium-Users']['level'] = 5; $config['auth_ldap_groupmembertype'] = "fulldn"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmemberattr'] = "memberOf";

Cisco ASA stopped reporting port metrics
by Tony Guadagno 24 May '24

24 May '24

Hi, around October 2023 all my asa graphs start looking like this: [cid:image001.jpg@01DAAD26.4CD63480] All my port counters are zero from then on. I have 17 asa's and they all are behaving this way. It is very possible about that time, I applied an update to the asa's. Can someone give me some steps to troubleshoot this, so I can figure out if cisco actually broke something, or if there is an observium issue.... Much appreciated Tony Guadagno

postgres / nginx app script update?
by Wolf Noble 22 May '24

22 May '24

the "current" version of the postgresql app `unix agent stats script` doesn't seem to work on "modernish" postgres installs ``` root@bluebox:/usr/lib/observium_agent/scripts-available# ./postgresql.pl Use of uninitialized value $version in pattern match (m//) at ./postgresql.pl line 88. Use of uninitialized value $version in pattern match (m//) at ./postgresql.pl line 134.

Also, are there plans to address the current limitation of the nginx `unix agent app script` that constrains it to a single instance of nginx? for systems with multiple containers running isolated nginx stacks, the current 'one instance of an app per monitored device' is kinda limiting... is this something that's likely to be addressed anytime soonish? hope the world's treatin y'all well!

Unknown Ports Showing Down.
by lawrence＠e2snail.com 11 May '24

11 May '24

I am very sorry but I am new to Observium and I don't really know how to ask this question. This also means that I have tried but cannot find questions of issues similar to what I am asking. I have a Unifi network. This question happens on all my switches. Is there a way to send a screenshot of what I am seeing. Basically I have an 8 port switch as can be seen below. Each of the physical ports are showing good, apart from port 8 where nothing is connected, but everything from 3/5 up to 3/26 are all down. what are all these ports and where do they source from. Is there a way to suppress them, and have them not showing. Device Port Name Bits[In/Out] Media[In/Out] 192.168.1.50| 0/1|Port 1 2.92Mbps|142kbps| Ethernet|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c UP 192.168.1.50| 0/2|Port 2 125kbps|2.91Mbps| Ethernet|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c UP 192.168.1.50| 0/3|Port 3 8bps|5.85kbps| Ethernet|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c UP 192.168.1.50| 0/4|Port 4 2.83kbps|7.85kbps| Ethernet|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c UP 192.168.1.50| 0/5|Port 5 9.96kbps|5.78kbps| Ethernet|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c UP 192.168.1.50| 0/6|Port 6 48bps|5.89kbps| Ethernet|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c UP 192.168.1.50| 0/7|Port 7 2.22kbps|7.34kbps| Ethernet|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c UP 192.168.1.50| 0/8|Port 8 0bps|0bps| Ethernet|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/1| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c UP 192.168.1.50| 3/2| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c UP 192.168.1.50| 3/3| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c UP 192.168.1.50| 3/4| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c UP 192.168.1.50| 3/5| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/6| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/7| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/8| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/9| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/10| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/11| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/12| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/13| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/14| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/15| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/16| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/17| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/18| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/19| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/20| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/21| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/22| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/23| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/24| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/25| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| 3/26| 0bps|0bps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9c DOWN 192.168.1.50| CPU Interface: 5/1| 6.33kbps|3.7kbps| Other|f0:9f:c2:19:50:9b UP Thanks Lawrence

NEWBIE Question: Global MIB Configuration
by lawrence＠e2snail.com 11 May '24

11 May '24

I am looking through the Global MIB Configuration and I see loads and loads of MIBs that are not used within my infrastructure. Things like Cisco, and A3COM, and many more. My question is two fold. The first is, is it good practise to disable non-used MIBS Then my second question is, is there a way to mass update the disabling of MIBS. The issue is, if I select a MIB and click disable, then the page refreshes and goes to teh top of the page. This is annoying for many because there are very many MIBs that I would like to disable. Thanks in advance for a GREAT product. Keep it up. Thanks Lawrence

by grendel＠grendelbox.de 07 May '24

07 May '24

Observium 23.9.13005 Community Edition shows under PORTS --> VLANs two VLAN which are out of IEEE 802.1Q Range (0-4095) VLAN ID VLAN Name 4096 vlan4096 31 4097 VLAN 4097 after klicking on the VLAN Names it shows for both VLAN-Names all LAN Connects of our VMWare ESXi Hosts we got 2 older ESXi Hosts (v6 level) and 4 new ESXi Hosts (v8 level) an of course NO ESXi has a VLAN ID 4096/4097 Is this some kind of misinterpretation?
