Unable to parse header `DSName' rrdtool
by Sam Hernandez-gill 03 Mar '17

03 Mar '17

I have a few different rrdtool graphs that are outputting "RRDTool Output: ERROR: rrdc_fetch: Unable to parse header `DSName'" So far I've only noticed it on specific Citrix Netscaler graphs, the Netscaler SSL ones nsSslHandshakes, nsSslSessions, etc and TCP Connections and TCP Packets for the netscalers are all in the same state with Unable to parse header `DSName'. [cid:image001.png@01D29412.6D368F20] Sadly I didn't notice when, I did recently upgrade to revision 8417, however these aren't graphs I frequently look at. Anybody else with netscalers in their environment at the same revision?

Migration CentOS 6 to 7 - Graphs Failing
by Storer, Darren 03 Mar '17

03 Mar '17

Our Observium professional server file system was recently damaged beyond recovery. Fortunately the database and the Observium directory had been backed up the night before. The older server OS was CentOS 6 and the new OS is CentOS 7 (both 64 bit). The Observium directory was restored and the database imported; now the Observium web page is working well, with visibility of all devices, historic stats/states/graphs etc. The cron jobs are running and polling etc. - the state of devices updates dynamically via the map too. However, there are no updates to the any of the graphs. I'm not sure if there is a database problem, RRD problem or file permissions problem. Placing /debug after various pages does not reveal any problems. Can anyone recommend other places to look for debug/logging information? Thanks in advance Darren

[observium] facing problem in email alerting.
by Santanu Mandal 03 Mar '17

03 Mar '17

Hello Guys, I am facing a problem regarding Observium Alerting. Few days ego I have enabled alerts and configured to send to couple of specific email ids. Configured those email Ids in .php file as well as in GUI. Due to some reason I have removed those email Ids to stop sending alerts. Now Observium starts collecting email ids from 'snmp contact' configuration of device and sending alerts to this email id. Please let me know what to configure so that Observium would not be able to send emails to the email id which is configured in snmp contact of network device ? Thanks,

Traffic Accounting
by Fred Pedrisa 03 Mar '17

03 Mar '17

Hi, guys. I plan to renew my subscription with you, but before doing it, I wanted to make sure, if now we can select "which stream" can be accounted, being : rx, tx or rx+tx, I'm asking this, because we have different ways of billing customer ports and this is a must for us. If this is not present, any chance you could add a switch for this ? It would be great if so. Sincerely, Fred

Re: [Observium] observium Digest, Vol 80, Issue 3
by Don Maker 03 Mar '17

Sorry, but I don't see any attached graphs. I do believe that Cisco memory graphs are working for other people, just not for me. When I go to graphs, system, all I see is processors and device uptime. Not sure where to start troubleshooting and/or correcting this. I should also note that I am using the Turnkey Linux appliance.

Should I be seeing memory usage graphs on Cisco devices?
by Don Maker 03 Mar '17

03 Mar '17

I have various Cisco devices ( catalyst switches, ios routers, ios-xe, etc), but none of them are showing any memory usage details in observium. I was surprised by this as observium did a remarkable job of recognizing and displaying information for things that most snmp tools do not, Qnap for example. It does recognize my Cisco devices and reports back on just about everything, but memory. Other tools I tried, such as Manageengine, PRTG, etc reported the memory with no issue. So, I'm skeptical that there is anything wrong with my snmp setup. I would really love to get memory usage for my Cisco devices. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears. Thanks

Syslog parsing for NXOS
by Markus Bornhauser 02 Mar '17

02 Mar '17

Hi list, Sorry if this had been asked before, but I'm unable to browse the mailing list archives. I have set up syslog parsing with Rsyslogd, like documented [1]. The syslog.php script does receive the logs and saves them in the database. Parsing logs from both Cisco Catalyst (IOS) and Cisco Nexus switches, I discovered that the NXOS logs are parsed incorrectly (see screenshot [2]). Does Observium support NXOS logs, or do I have to change something to make it as perfect as with IOS logs? [1] https://observium.org/docs/syslog/#rsyslogd [2] https://snag.gy/2eDsgH.jpg

Search in device Description feature request
by Richard Wigzell 01 Mar '17

01 Mar '17

Hello, we have a small feature request; would it be possible to search for values in the device Description? ('purpose' column in device table). Preferably from the live search box thing in the top right of the UI? This would be a most useful feature for us.
