custom OID "autodiscovery" -?
by Adam Thompson 19 Feb '20

19 Feb '20

When I create a custom OID, I can turn on "Autodiscovery". What does this do? (It doesn't appear to be documented.) Thanks, -Adam Adam Thompson Consultant, Infrastructure Services [[MERLIN LOGO]] 100 - 135 Innovation Drive Winnipeg, MB, R3T 6A8 (204) 977-6824 or 1-800-430-6404 (MB only) athompson(a)merlin.mb.ca<mailto:athompson@merlin.mb.ca> www.merlin.mb.ca<http://www.merlin.mb.ca/>

OBS-2925 - Ping Only Hosts / OBS_SNMP_SKIP flag / snmp_skip attribute
by Colin Stubbs 17 Feb '20

17 Feb '20

For the benefit of anyone on the list who doesn't use JIRA... and also so that others who support (want/need) this feature can comment. https://jira.observium.org/browse/OBS-2925 Attached patch defines OBS_SNMP_SKIP flag and uses snmp_skip device attribute, similar to OBS_PING_SKIP and ping_skip, in order to have hosts that are ping only. Ping only hosts can still have the Observium Unix Agent installed (tested), and other poller modules such as IPMI enabled (untested). Tested: 1. Add/remove/rename ping only hosts via CLI 2. Add/remove ping only hosts via webUI 3. View/interact ping only hosts via webUI - SNMP specific features/menus etc are hidden while skip SNMP is enabled 4. Alerting - device_status equals 0 && device_status_type equals ping - will trigger alerts for host down/recovery events 5. Shifting a previously SNMP contactable host to ping only by ticking skip SNMP box - old SNMP graphs/etc are maintained and remain available - remove skip SNMP box and SNMP polling begins again Things I know kind of don't work right now: 1. Location override - poller/discovery doesn't seem to perform geocoding and whatever else is happening there Things that could be improved: 1. Unix Agent poller module etc is enabled by default for all hosts, for ping only hosts, perhaps it should be disabled by default? Will improve performance by reducing the number of processes that hang while the 10s default connect timeout happens. Totally untested: 1. Use of autodiscovery SNMP skip - should work in theory, unsure if those parts of the patch should actually be used though. Some people out there may actually want to add anything that does respond to ping and can be found thru adjacency and routing protocol info etc??

Blank space in graphs

10 Feb '20

Hello, on somes devices, i have a problem with blank space in my networking graph, i have this problem only with somes devices, others devices (same hardware and OS) work well. Please find attached examples. The devices are Cisco N3K-C3048TP-1GE running on NX-OS 6.0(2)U3(7) (uk9). On working device (with normal graph) all ports are 64bits, on devices with blank problem all ports are 32bits. When i poll a device with the blank problem, i have: o CISCO-VLAN-IFTABLE-RELATIONSHIP-MIB cviRoutedVlanIfIndex o SMON-MIB o CISCO-TRUSTSEC-INTERFACE-MIB o ADSL-LINE-MIB o EtherLike-MIB dot3StatsDuplexStatus o Q-BRIDGE-MIB o IP-MIB IP-MIB ipIfStats *Negative ifOutOctets.

Cleaning up Observium
by greggy862 . 06 Feb '20

06 Feb '20

Hello, I would like to cleanup observium, please see below that my largest directories are the logs (1.6 GB) and the rrd (17 GB). I tried cleaning up the logs by running ./housekeeping -sel BUT the size of the logs did not change - nonetheless, the devices with years of logs suddenly have days of logs (since I specified logs should be no older than 30 days). My concern is that I did the cleanup to reduce disk space, but immediately after I saw an increase in disk space, moreover, the space occupied in the log file directory did not change. Is it that observium housekeeping only targets space in the database, I ask because the query hanged for over 30 min doing nothing until I uses the -d (debug) flag and I noticed it was doing an sql query. How do I cleanup the logs directory? do I delete/truncate logs such as observium.log and access.log? What about the rrd directory, if I remove some of the rrds do I loose graphs (like record duration?

Cisco 9300-24p in stack with 3 units not showing all info for stack member 2
by Daniel Johansson 06 Feb '20

06 Feb '20

Hi After setting up a new stack with 3 units of C9300-24p we only see the full inventory for switch 1 and switch 3 not switch 2. That means I can't see the fans or temp sensors for switch 2. Is this an observium parsing issue or an snmp issue in the switches? I attach a full picture of the inventory page. i also have a full snmpwalk dump from the switch if you need to have a look at it. Will send it outside of the list if needed. ---- Regards Daniel
