Web Interface display issue
by Colin Anderson 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

I've performed several installations, but have a problem with this one. The root/home webpage displays correctly, but all other pages lack the normal formatting. All of the menu items from across the top of the page are displayed as an unformatted bulleted list on everything except the root http://observium webpage. I compared my /etc/apache2/sites-available/default file to a working installation and it's exactly the same. I've gone back over the installation instructions twice. A2enmod rewrite is enabled, but I'm not sure it's working... If I click on the menu "Devices" -> "All Devices" it takes me to http://observium/devices/ with the trailing backslash. I can remove the trailing backslash and the page displays correctly. This doesn't seem to work with other pages further down the menu structure such as http://observium/devices/type=network/. The only difference between this installation and my other installations is that the others are on Debian 6 and this is Debian 7.1 (Wheezy). Sorry for the long explanation, but any help is MUCH appreciated. Thanks, Colin Anderson

Another frontpage patch
by Paul Gear 31 Jul '13

31 Jul '13

Hi all, Here's another patch i've made to the front page, this time to add a "micrographs" function similar to the minigraphs, but with the difference that multiple sections are allowed, each corresponding to a row in the $config['frontpage']['micrographs'] array. Here's an example config excerpt: ... $config['frontpage']['order'] = array('device_status_boxes', 'minigraphs', 'micrographs', 'status_summary', 'eventlog'); ... $config['frontpage']['micrographs']['network']['ids'] = '1,device_bits,router1;2,device_bits,router2;3,device_bits,switch1;4,device_bits,firewall1;5,device_bits,firewall2'; $config['frontpage']['micrographs']['network']['title'] = 'Network'; $config['frontpage']['micrographs']['servers']['ids'] = '6,device_bits,vmhost1;7,device_bits,observium;8,device_bits,fileserver;9,device_bits,vmhost2;10,device_bits,backup'; $config['frontpage']['micrographs']['servers']['title'] = 'Servers'; ... This produces the following on the front page: Both the row labels and the graph labels are optional - if you leave them both out you get just a bare row of clickable graphs. There's no label justification, which looks a bit funny when labels are different lengths, but i figure people can just add space or whatever to make their front page look how they want it. Patch is attached and also available at http://libertysys.com.au/patches/observium/observium-r4209-micrographs.patch Hope you like it. Regards, Paul

Hi Steve, I meant to reply to this earlier today. I would be willing to put money on this being caused by a authoritarian transparent proxy or over-ambitious layer 7 firewall. It smells like an intervening device deciding the connection is bad and cutting it off. I'm pretty sure it's nothing at our end else we'd be flooded by people complaining they're missing out on today's updates! Adam.

New installation of Observium
by Phibee Network Operation Center 31 Jul '13

31 Jul '13

hello, I just installed Observium and I discovered a little product. To help me integrate it into our SI, I have some questions: - I'm in the options menu as Customer or Pseudowire, but nowhere I see a button "create" what is normal? - At the location of routers, how to indicate the position of this one? - At Traffic Bills, is it possible that sending an email with the value précendent the 95th of the month for each link? - And finally, via the API, it is possible to recover the data to json rrd them into another application? including the graph generated by Traffic Bills Thank you in advance Jerome

bgp vs bgo ?
by Peter Childs 31 Jul '13

Should that be 'bgp' rather than 'bgo' ? +++ html/includes/functions.inc.php (revision 4227) (...) case "bgp_peer": if (empty($text)) { $text = "AS".$entity['bgpPeerRemoteAs'] ." ". $entity['bgpPeerRemoteAddr']. " ".truncate($entity['astext'], "30"); } - $link = generate_link($text, array('page' => 'device', 'device' => $entity['device_id'], 'tab' => 'health', 'metric' => 'storage')); + $link = generate_link($text, array('page' => 'device', 'device' => $entity['device_id'], 'tab' => 'routing', 'proto' => 'bgo')); break; case "netscaler_vsvr": if (empty($text)) { $text = $entity['vsvr_label']; }

Re: [Observium] RANCID integration

One more thing, for the email, I use exim, so I'm assuming that running /usr/bin/newaliases tells the MTA about the changes below. From: Ryan Milton - MVS USA Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2013 3:43 PM To: 'Observium Network Observation System' Subject: RANCID integration Hi, I am trying to integrate RANCID for Observium, however the basic installation of rancid on Ubuntu 12.04 eludes me. Most tuts out there are for 11.04, or are quite dated. I have gotten to the point where running sudo su -c /var/lib/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs -s /bin/bash -l rancid Should produce the right files. I don't get that, rather I get this: rancid@ObserviumNYC:/$ sudo su -c /var/lib/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs -s /bin/bash -l rancid /var/lib/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs: 73: /etc/rancid/rancid.conf: rancid-Amsterdam::: not found /var/lib/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs: 74: /etc/rancid/rancid.conf: rancid-admin-Amsterdam:: not found /var/lib/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs: 75: /etc/rancid/rancid.conf: rancid-New_York:: not found /var/lib/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs: 76: /etc/rancid/rancid.conf: rancid-admin-New_York:: not found If anyone had successfully done this, I need some steps that I seem to be missing. I had installed cvs, manually. I do have /etc/aliases with some entries like: rancid-Amsterdam: noc */should that be noc@emailaddress??/* Regards, Ryan Milton Network Manager o: 201-447-1505 x124 c: 862-249-5230

I hope not. If it is, it's some new level of selinux hell! Adam.
