Arch -> extension (since 16.04 upgrade)
by Robert Williams 08 Jul '16

08 Jul '16

Hi, Just completed a release upgrade on Observium itself (14.04 to 16.04) and now it is reporting its own architecture as 'extension'. Wouldn't be an issue really, but every single time it polls it updates the event log like this: I've attached a debug output of the poller as this may help to track it down. Interestingly, a lot of our other servers run 16.04 now but it only reports this for 'itself' - not the others. Anyone have any ideas? Cheers!

Make a custom aggregate graph
by Fredrik Winäs 08 Jul '16

08 Jul '16

Hi The Graph that is on the Overview page with all ports combined, can I do my own? I have dualhomed servers (vmware hosts) and I would like to have a graph with all switch ports that is used. Most of those servers are connected to more than one switch .

poller-wrapper.py does not run, but poller.php does
by Chrys Thorsen 07 Jul '16

07 Jul '16

Hi Guys, Newbie here. I just installed the latest version of Observium (subscription) onto Ubuntu 14. It discovered my Cisco router, 15 Cisco switches, and 4 Microsoft servers no problem. HOWEVER, poller-wrapper.py does not run. Days later, still no polling. I have this line in /etc/cron.d/observium: */5 * * * * root /opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py 16 >> /dev/null 2>&1 If I manually run /opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py I get this error: "ERROR: Could not load or parse observium configuration, are PATHs correct?" If I manually run poller.php, all the devices get polled just fine. I don't have a PATH statement in crontab. I can add one, but I'm not sure exactly what to add. I also notice that Joe Snijder's post says the syntax should have the word "python" after "root". Does that make a difference? Please help! Thanks, Chrys -- Chrys Thorsen Director of Technology and Training

ID of graph changes and "jumps" between storage on server
by Henrik Cednert (Filmlance) 06 Jul '16

06 Jul '16

Hello I have an issue that bugs the heck out of me. Not sure exactly what's going on but in short: First of all, when I write ID I mean the ID in the url when looking at the graph for a storage attached to a server. Like "....//graphs/to=1467822524/id=219/type=storage_usage/from=1467736124/" where the ID is 219. The storage I monitor on this OSX server is connected via iSCSI, NFS, SNFS and Avid ISIS. What happens is that when rebooting or if a storage is disconnected and reconnected the above mentioned ID changes. Not alway but very often and it gives some odd subsequent errors like alert checkers being triggered for the wrong storage. Which I don't know how it's even possible since I assume they're not based on ID in the background? But on these two screenshots an alert was triggered for a storage not in the alert checker. https://www.dropbox.com/s/9ttr7b86hv28pnp/alertChecker01.png https://www.dropbox.com/s/th7rqel88pntpvl/alertChecker02.png It also messes with the minigraphs on the front page since they're hardcoded to an ID. An ID that can have gone missing or changed... It also seems messes with the graphs since in some situations looks like it can get stuck in a mode where wrong storage are monitored and graphed into another storages graph. Real odd and not sure that's really whats going on or if it's snmpd on the server that reports wrong. But it's timed with reboot and or the other isses above. https://www.dropbox.com/s/rdrhetew8nod09o/graphID01.png Have any one had similar issues?

Problems getting Interface stats (IF-MIB)
by Andre Geißler 06 Jul '16

Hi For some reason getting interface statistics stopped about 3 weeks ago for some devices. I'm updating observium every day so problem exists for several versions. Affected are only 2 of around a dozen Cisco ASAs. I cannot see this problem on other device types. Under device' MIB properties I can see request timeouts for " *ifInMulticastPkts.18 ifOutMulticastPkts.18 ifInBroadcastPkts.18 ifOutBroadcastPkts.18 ifHCInOctets.18 ifHCOutOctets.18 ifHCInUcastPkts.18 ifHCOutUcastPkts.18 ifHCInMulticastPkts.18 ifHCOutMulticastPkts.18 ifHCInBroadcastPkts.18 ifHCOutBroadcastPkts.18 ifInOctets.18 ifOutOctets.18 ifInUcastPkts.18 ifOutUcastPkts.18 ifInNUcastPkts.18 ifOutNUcastPkts.18 ifInDiscards.18 ifOutDiscards.18 ifInErrors.18 ifOutErrors.18 ifInUnknownProtos.18 ifMtu.18 ifSpeed.18 ifPhysAddress.18 ifAdminStatus.18 ifLastChange.18 ifPromiscuousMode.18 ifConnectorPresent.18" All other values can be read without any problem.* When doing snmpget manually there is also no problem. No difference when using snmp v2c or v3. Any idea or advice? Thanks, Andre **
