Session Expired
by Johnathon Voegeli 30 Mar '14

30 Mar '14

I have updated to the most recent version via SVN and it constantly logs me out of the web interface... all the graphs will die and it will say session expired after about 10 or 15 seconds of being logged in. Any ideas? ~JV CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message, and any documents, files, or previous e-mail messages attached to it, may contain information that is confidential, proprietary, and/or legally privileged.

adding non snmp hosts?
by John Poznicek 30 Mar '14

30 Mar '14

So I have observium up and running, even smokeping integration which brings up my question. I have a few vpses, seedbox, webhost, etc. that I would like to add to my growing lists of devices in observium. But seems you can not add a device that doesn't have snmp? I don't want to monitor anything than the info than say my smokeping graphs in the same web interface. Be nice to show their location on the man graph as green/yellow/red etc.. My vps I might even add the unix agent grab some info from them.. But I don't really want or need snmp queries across the public net to them So how do you add these types of devices - they added smokeping integration to leverage the details it gives. So how can I just see these smokeping devices in the observium web interface without having to add the device via snmp? There doesn't seem to be a way to add a device without being able to talk to it via snmp?

Unable to add new device

Hi Unfortunately I am unable to add new devices on one of my Observium instances. I tried with several host and I get the same results. All hosts can be pinged and are reachable. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Hi all, my database is grow very fast. Is there a cyclic clean up which deletes unnessesary entries from the db to prevent garbage? How long are entries kept in the db? Can anybody tell me the syntax to reduce the rate-time for trap and log entrys in the database? many thanks Thomas

Hi Adam, mmh, thanks. -------------- snmpwalk -v 2c -c COMMUNITY HOST 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.648 iso.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.648 = No Such Object available on this agent at this OID -------------- where 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.648 id is suppose to poll CISCO-VIRTUAL-INTERFACE-MIB, which is included in the Observium database and supposedly supported by the Nexus 6001.

Google Maps
by Kleber C. S. Coelho 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

Prezados, boa noite! Gostaria de saber se ja é possível ativar o mapa do Google, igual ao da demostração, na página do observium, utilizando a versão comunitária. Gostaria também de deixar uma mensagem de protesto contra a política de versões comunitárias e pagas. Eu até entendo os motivos, mas não concordo de forma alguma. Se alguém puder responder minha dúvida sobre o google maps agradeço! Obrigado. Dear, good night! I wonder if you can already activate the Google map, same as the demo, in observium page, using the community version. I would also like to leave a message of protest against the policy community and paid versions. I can understand the reasons, but I do not agree at all. If anyone can answer my questions about the google maps thanks! Thank you.

Issues with bind graphs - Where to start looking?
by Ricardo M Meleschi 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

Hello everyone, I've identified an issue with storing of values that are grabbed by the unix-agent. Specifically, a problem with the bind sub-agent. Apparently, when req-in,QUERY exceeds a value of 2,147,483,648, the value that actually gets stored in the app-bind-122-req-in.rrd is: # rrdtool info app-bind-122-req-in.rrd | grep query ds[query].index = 0 ds[query].type = "DERIVE" ds[query].minimal_heartbeat = 600 ds[query].min = 0.0000000000e+00 ds[query].max = 7.5000000000e+06 >> ds[query].last_ds = "2147483647" << ds[query].value = 0.0000000000e+00 ds[query].unknown_sec = 0 This is despite the current value actually being: # ./bind | grep -i req-in,Q req-in,QUERY:2368417221 I initially thought there was an issue with a 32 bit vs 64 bit counter in the RRD itself, but it looks like ds[query].max is well above a 32bit variable's max value. I am at a loss as to where the problem may be and am hoping that someone on the mailing list can point me in the right direction. I can't believe I'm the first one to run into this issue actually... Here's what happens to my graph when this issue arises: This happens to other dns graphs as well, but it happens to this one the quickest, since it hits that 'limit' faster than the other counters do. Additionally, I'm running 0.14.3.5117 if that helps. If I restart named, the graph begins graphing properly again, but I don't want to consider that a 'fix', especially since I'd be resetting all of my bind servers every week. Doable, but not ideal. Thanks for any assistance, Ricardo

Monthly Thumbnails not Updating
by Cameron Jones 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

It appears that my monthly graph thumbnails are not updating, but when I go into view the RRD from a monthly perspective the data is there. Check out the attached screen-shots to better explain the issue. I'm currently running the non subscription version. https://www.dropbox.com/s/mifk9lm9yp40ebh/Screen%20Shot%202014-03-27%20at%2 010.22.47%20AM.png https://www.dropbox.com/s/02teszwfy8rhfml/Screen%20Shot%202014-03-27%20at%2 010.23.38%20AM.png Thanks in advance!
