Re: [Observium] poller doesn’t kick the apache-stats.py script
by Andrew Beals 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

Rather than modifying the poller script, simply commenting out the "mibs :" line at the bottom of /etc/snmp/snmp.conf on your Observium server box is sufficient to get the polling to work correctly. Ubuntu put that line in citing "licensing issues" with the MIBs.

rrd time selection is wrong
by Nikolay Shopik 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

It seems like when you select time to show graph it doesn't take in consideration timezone. Basically if I select from 18:00 till now and press update time in "From" field update to 22:00 (I have GMT+4 zone). You can click update multiply times and graph time will be moving after each click.

SNMPv3 implementation
by Guillaume Leclanche 31 Mar '12

31 Mar '12

Hello, attached is the patch for the implementation of SNMPv3. I've been testing it on my system and devices, and it seems to be working properly. Since it's a core function of the soft, I guess it would be good that other people give it a try before it is committed. I use NET-SNMP version: 5.4.3. Be careful that a few files use direct calls to net-snmp instead of calling observium library functions. It means that those calls will not work with an snmpv3 device. includes/discovery/cisco-mac-accounting.inc.php: $datas = shell_exec($config['snmpbulkwalk'] . " -M ".$config['mibdir']." -m CISCO-IP-STAT-MIB -Oqn -".$device['snmpver']." -c ".$device['community']."

'.$device['hostname'].' ifDescr.101'); I will send a patch to fix cisco-vrf after this mail, but the other files will still be incompatible with snmpv3 (keep your devices in SNMPv2 if you use any of the incompatible calls).

Cisco-vrf discovery - huge performance improvement
by Guillaume Leclanche 31 Mar '12

31 Mar '12

Hi, As I wanted to make Cisco VRF discovery SNMPv3-compatible, I realized that it was actually very slow. So I change the philosophy of it (bulkwalk all SNMP info first then analyze in the code), and here's the result for a device with 500 VRFs: Old version : Discovered in 65.83 seconds New version : Discovered in 3.234 seconds At the same time I made it SNMPv3-compatible, and I added the support for CISCO-L3VPN-STD-MIB that is the more recent MIB and the only one supported on the latest releases of IOS/IOS-XR. I tested it with Cisco Hw and it's fine, but for the other vendors implementing the MIB, somebody else will have to test it :) Guillaume

Legend shows not-existent interfaces
by Nikolay Shopik 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

When you open Total Traffic graph, you may see in Legend interfaces which doesn't really exist on this device. Additionally sometimes you may see duplicate interfaces in Legend, which do exist. I wonder what may cause of this and to fix it?

Get Interface UP and DOWN mails for ignored ports since about r2922
by Matthias Cramer 27 Mar '12

27 Mar '12

Hi Adam and All since about r2922 I get DOWN and UP alert mail for Ports ignored by $config['bad_if_regexp'][] = "/^tnl[0-9]/"; Looks like this is not checked when sending mail, only on the web front end. Would be very very nice if that can be fixed. Regards Matthias P.S.

Not all filesystems added to Observium
by Ciro Iriarte 23 Mar '12

23 Mar '12

Hi, I have this working without issues for RHEL5 and SLES11, but on a openSUSE host the filesystems built on top of LVM are not shown... The walk gives them all: HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.10 = STRING: Swap space HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.31 = STRING: / HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.32 = STRING: /usr/local/pgsql HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.34 = STRING: /dev/shm HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.35 = STRING: /run HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.39 = STRING: /sys/fs/cgroup HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.50 = STRING: /var/lock HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.51 = STRING: /var/run HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.56 = STRING: /media HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.57 = STRING: /boot But observium only shows info for /boot, /dev/shm, /media /run,/sys/fs/cgroup, /var/lock and /var/run. On SLES I don't see "in memory/not real" filesystems like /proc or /sys. Regards, -- Ciro Iriarte http://cyruspy.wordpress.com --
