huge peaks on interfaces 10-100Gig
by Nikolay Shopik 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

We seeing once in while really huge peaks on some devices. In past we seen such when installing new device or/and doing maintenance on it. So we just ignore them in past, because they only broke graphs once in time. Does anyone seeing this too? Basically this looks like huge peak (10-100G) for about 5-10 min(2 scans). I've seen this on different devices, but all of them are Cisco afaik.

netstat legend
by Nikolay Shopik 12 Oct '11

12 Oct '11

Most of netstat graphs have 4 rows but legend says "current, averange,max). Only IP fragmetations have 3 rows/3 description. So what's up with 4 row in other graphs, probably should say current,min,avg,max?

Include Server Port Type?
by Matthew Gyurgyik 11 Oct '11

11 Oct '11

The wiki[1] lists Server as a valid port type. The parser does all the work so that http://observium.ndcls.local/iftype/type=server/ works. All that is needed is a config option and a menu item. I have a patch that add these two things. However, codekiller brought up a valid point that all you'd have to do is search for server. http://observium.ndcls.local/ports/ifAlias=server/format=list_basic/ This works just as well, for me. Therefore I ask, do we want a menu link for the server port type? Yes - I'll provide a patch No - I'll create a wiki account and remove the offending information ~pyther [1] http://www.observium.org/wiki/Interface_Description_Parsing

Some device traffic graphs are not working anymore
by Bruce-Young Majola 10 Oct '11

Hi, I noticed that after upgrading to the latest version of Observium, (0.11.10.2674); traffic graphs do not work anymore on some device; see screenshot below. Polling or discovering the affected devices does not help either. Regards Bruce DISCLAIMER: The information in this message is confidential and may be legally privileged.

Code to Delete interfaces that match bad_if?
by Matthew Gyurgyik 10 Oct '11

10 Oct '11

So I spent a lot of time digging through the code to figure out how bad_if works. I wanted to remove the stacking "ports" there were showing up. Added this code to my config: $config['bad_if'][] = "stack"; However the ports weren't getting removed. Upon further investigation I found that the current code only prevents the addition of a match. However, if the port is already in the database nothing is done. Is this the desired behaviour or should ports that match be removed from the database? ~pyther

map.php?format=svg is gone
by Nikolay Shopik 07 Oct '11

07 Oct '11

Hey, It seems now localhost/map.php?format=svg is no more working, is this intended? I understand this is never been supported, but I've been using it to draw full network map and this is work perfect for me.

CollectD Integration - Graphing
by John Macleod 07 Oct '11

07 Oct '11

I'm looking to customize the CollectD graphs, specifically for the DNS plug to overlay the Rcode and Qtype data, similar to the CollectD plugin example: http://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/Plugin:DNS Could anyone point me in the right direction on this? The current graphed output isn't very useful.

CDP Neighbours
by Bruce-Young Majola 06 Oct '11

06 Oct '11

Hi, I have just noticed that the Neighbours option has disappeared under the Ports Tab for some of the devices we monitor via Observium; this looks to have happened after upgrading to version 0.11.10.2654. Is it something to do with my upgrade or is there something broken. The issue is that some do display the Neighbours Option on the same version so I am at odds about what is wrong. By the way, I have not disabled CDP on these device so that is not the problem. Regards, Bruce DISCLAIMER: The information in this message is confidential and may be legally privileged.

Dell OMSA
by John Macleod 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

I am curious what attributes of Dell's OMSA snmpd integration are polled by Observium? Pre OMSA install the host was identified as Generic, post OMSA install/SNMP SMUX integration it polls the model correctly but nothing else. Hardware is a PowerEdge 1950 III. Some quick googling suggests that the OIDs for PE 1950, 2650, 2950, etc are not the same - although temp, voltage, fan, etc should be available, and is via the OMSA interface. Thought I would reach out to any fellow Dell + Observium users. Thanks, John
