Call to undefined function check_valid_sensors() on IPMI & Unix-agent polling
by Oliver Baker 21 Jul '16

21 Jul '16

Hi there, When polling with either IPMI or unix-agent modules enabled, the polling run stops with this error: Sensors: PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function check_valid_sensors() in /opt/observium/includes/polling/unix-agent.inc.php on line 174 I've updated to the latest non-stable release, and no change. I've also historically had this issue and cleared my /opt/observium directory and re-installed but no change. Any ideas? Happy to provide more info if needed. Many thanks Olly

Adding users for alerts?
by Dano, Leo 21 Jul '16

21 Jul '16

Hello all, Is there any way to add multiple users to receive the alerts? Right now, in the config.php it sends all alerts to myself. Is there a way to add users via the webpage? I am using ldap auth. Thanks, ----------------------- Leo Dano

NetApp c-DOT updates
by Jesper Frank Nemholt 21 Jul '16

21 Jul '16

Hi! I just updated to 7961 and saw that NetApp c-Dot is now reporting volumes like it has done for long on OnTAP 7. Great :-) However, the total and used capacity are all 0, so something with the Index is wrong or simply not done yet. Anyone knows if this is a known issue and being worked on, or ? /Jesper

Re: [Observium] Steps to add custom oid
by Moerman, Maarten 20 Jul '16

Hi Steve, What do you mean, not getting any data? You said the graphs show up fine? Care to share a screenshot? Also copying the mibs doesn’t work, as this is custom OIDs, the whole meaning behind it, is that you don’t need the MIBs for that.

I have recently upgraded to the subscription version of Observium so that I could add some custom oids to graph. I am running on CentOS 7. I followed the guide here: http://www.maartenmoerman.nl/?p=649 No problem adding the oids and applying them to the devices. Graphs show up fine but I cannot get any data. I have also copied the MIBs to the /opt/observium/mibs directory. The MIBs have a *.txt extension on them. I have tried removing this but still no luck. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers, Steve

A few Q's for the roadmap...IS-IS support, data sources, etc.
by Aaron Finney 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

I know this has been asked/answered, but the whole archives thing...what's the history behind [the lack of] support for IS-IS data in Observium, are there any plans to add it at any point, and would it be of value to anyone else? Even basics like warning on adjacency changes, tracking neighbors over time, etc. would be great...I would personally find it of value for an additional sanity check during maintenances or outages - an ISIS health overview tab for a device with the ISO address/area, participating interfaces, and stats. Generalizing the data pool: any current thoughts around creating an abstraction layer between Observium and its data source? Mysql as the sole backend presents some challenges for us in trying to scale Observium to production. OBQL? :) Sort-of on the tails of that last question, has there been any discussion about adapting Observium to take advantage of network devices which emit metrics using thrift/protobuf? E.g. using some other data pipeline/collection system as a data source...or even doing the collection itself and doing the necessary quantization/processing to produce a useable view. Last one in that train of thought, any thoughts around incorporating additional data collectors other than simple snmp polling (e.g. facebook's udppinger or fbtracert)?

20 Jul '16

Hi... I just wanted to browse the mailinglist archive but it is not working. Just shows a 404 page. From Observium.org I have opened http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium This still worked. But clicking on "observium archives" directs me to http://postman.memetic.org/pipermail/observium/ which is not found. Roland

Alert for port-channel summary?
by Laszlo Nemeth 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

Hello, We have Cisco Nexus switches with VPC configuration. On the switches are configured a portchannel (in VPC with 2x10G ethernet) to the same 3. device. The problem is: I would like to create an alert if the traffic to the 3. device more than 8G I have to get an alert. Now because the 2 nexus just show only the own port-channel traffic, if one portchannel traffic on switch#1 is 6G and on the switch#2 is 5G the 8G alert doesn’t work. But because of the redundancy in this case I have to get an alert because the aggregated traffic is 11G (and if one of the 10G goes down this traffic is overloaded). The alert is: Test: ifOutOctets_perc gt 80 Device Match / Entity Match Hostname match *switch* ifAlias match *to 3. device* So it cover the switch#1 and switch#2 and the port-channel interfaces with description “2x10G to 3. device” but this alert check the port-channels like a line not an aggregated traffic. Is there any option to add two device’s interfaces and create an alert for this summary? Or can I create an alert for a port group aggregated traffic? This would be great in this case too. Thanks BR Laszlo

Frequent drop outs from WebUI
by Roland Schwingel 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

Hi... I am running Observium for quite a while now. But there is one thing that bugs me. I first thought this is a bug and would be fixed at some time but I am updating Observium frequently from svn yet with no change. I am frequently dropped out of Observium with an authentication error. I log in (with LDAP authbackend) just fine. But sometimes after 30 minutes, sometimes even after a few seconds I am dropped out of Observium. When I click the "Remember me" (Cookie) button this lasts a little longer. Sometimes I am immediately kicked directly after logging in. This is also logged in Observiums "Authentication log" as "Authentication Failure" in the very same second as the "Logged in" event occured. Is anything known about this? Or is it just a nifty PHP config variable about session handling I forgot to set? Thanks for your help, Roland
