Observium Home Page - Sensors
by Adriaan Smuts 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

Hi Guys, Can someone please fix the links on the sensors section of the home page (please see below or attached). [cid:image001.png@01CF240B.61979D00] If you click on ports/devices under Down it takes you to the down devices or ports, but on sensors it just takes you to the health page. Example: http://observium.domain.com/devices/status=0/ (Devices down link) Example: http://observium.domain.com/health/ (Sensors down link) I hope the above makes sense... :) PS: Our sensors are on Dell/SuperMicro IPMI devices.

Geocoding
by Scott Brawner 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

OK I'll admit I was goofing around, in config.php I changed the geocoding API setting from google to mapquest for like ten seconds. Most of my sites are now clumped in the island off Portugal now. I've tried editing the sysLocations and rediscovering/polling to no avail. Halp! Now what?

MAC Accounting
by James Bensley 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

Hi All, I'm sure this was discussed a while back but I've searched the mailing list and can't find anything. Is MAC accounting still supported in Observium or is this feature present in the code but awaiting removal? If it is support how are people using it? I am testing on Cisco IOS devices and its not working very well for me. I have configure under a physical interface the following: ip accounting output-packets ip accounting mac-address input ip accounting mac-address output I have some juniper MX tin in the lab I can test. Is this feature supported on Juniper too, would one perhaps have to configure "mac-learn-enable" as per this document? http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/en_US/junos13.2/topics/usage-guidelines/int… Below are the results I am getting from a Cisco 2821 for example running c2800nm-adventerprisek9-mz.124-25f.bin; All MACs have no IP addresses: http://i.imgur.com/CMBPjHf.png If I switch to the graph view they are all blank: http://i.imgur.com/nlaRqar.png If I click on any graph I get a permissions error (my user account is in the admins group): http://i.imgur.com/NcwKy8O.png The Top10 is partially working, it seems to be missing a lot of data: http://i.imgur.com/NraRHVc.png I have the same results (most data is missing) on a Cisco 1841 running c1841-adventerprisek9-mz.124-25f.bin in our office. Many thanks, James.

SVN working but not working
by Scott Brawner 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

I finally got svn to work by proxying it through a server with actual internet access. I love how I have to make an end-run around the network guys so I can give them what they want. Hilarious. Anyway I did the svn co http://..... Blah blah and it seemed to work properly. Then I run discovery and get this. (poller does the same thing) ./discovery.php -h dc-m-sitelink svn: '/opt/observium' is not a working copy Observium v0.SVN.ERROR Discovery Do I need to wipe and reinstall? I'd prefer not to as I have ~50 hosts set up and everything is otherwise working well.

LDAP auth and permissions levels
by Scott Brawner 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

Hi all- I'm using level 10 for admins and that is working fine, however, with level 1 users they can log in but cannot see any devices or ports. Is there something else I need to set up inside the application? Using latest stable svn.

No graphs linux
by Tamino Grentzius 11 Feb '14

11 Feb '14

Hi, I am new to observium and after having multiple deploys I discovered that it works mostly really well, but on my linux machines it seems I have an error with drawing the graphs for memory, cpu and that... Anyone got a tip where I should start (client/server side) I have no clue at this point :) My esxi works, my cisco works, but no linux... :| Cheers, Tamino

Scaling Observium with Rancid, Smokeping, and Syslog-ng
by Chip Pleasants 11 Feb '14

11 Feb '14

Anyone have suggestions or real world experiences they could share scaling Observium with Rancid, Smokeping, and Syslog-ng. I have about 1000 router/switches in my network that equate to about 30k of interfaces. Half the interfaces will probably be down, although I'm not sure that makes a difference. Basically I'm wondering if I should break out my tools to individual VMs and use something like NFS for Observium to be able to see Rancid,Smokeping, and Syslog-ng data. Feel free to shoot me a private note. I appreciate any feedback. -Chip
