overall_traffic on front page, showing peering when peering is disabled.
by Matt Ladewig 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

I have transit, customer, and core traffic interfaces descriptions setup and working. No peering interfaces have been defined. Peering interfaces menu items are disabled with $config['int_peering'] = 0; However, when overall_traffic is added to the $config['frontpage']['order'] array, "Overall Peering Traffic Today" and "Overall Transit & Peering Traffic This Month" headers are displayed with broken image placeholders that link back to the url/iftype/type=peering/ and url/iftype/type=peering%2Ctransit/ respectively. Not a big issue, but from a consistency standpoint, it would make sense to disable the overall peering traffic views if $config['int_peering'] = 0; is set. Matt

mysqld.sock error?
by Luis Quintana 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

I have been recently seeing this error pop up, whenever trying to login to my observium instance, and was wondering if anyone had experienced this before. This is an install I did back around October of 2013 and other then expanding the hdd, a month or so ago, I havent really messed with the settings (the first time i saw this was about a week and a half ago or so). After searching on google a little bit, it seems like the socket trying to be leveraged is at location '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' yet when i do a search for '-type s', i only see '/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'. The '/etc/mysql/my.cnf' file already lists "socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock" though. Should I just modify the my.cnf file to include '/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'? This is the error I get: MySQL Error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (111)

observium not showing mac addressses Cisco Switch WS-C3750X-48P-S
by techuser6＠gmail.com 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

Problem: I have a Cisco Switch that is not showing the MAC addresses in Observium. I have configured SNMP as according to the IPV4 instructions on the main observium website. My other Cisco devices are showing MAC address information fine. I can do a show mac address-table and everything appears when SSH into the switch. Can someone please advise what I am missing or how to get observium to start showing the MAC addresses of this device? Model number : WS-C3750X-48P-S * 1 54 WS-C3750X-48P 12.2(55)SE C3750E-UNIVERSALK9-M Thanks

Observium as inventory mgmt?
by Daniel Kasen 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

Hello all, I've been playing around for the last week and want to say really nice work thus far. But I was wondering if anyone is using this as an inventory system that would be comparable to racktables? Basically allow the user to create a table with software versions acquired through the Unix agent module (not the rpm plugin as this ignores tar installs). From everything I've seen so far it looks like this is more focused on adding custom graphs and not simple text. Have I missed something obvious here, or is this an improper use of the tool on my part? *Daniel Kasen | Data Center Operations Engineer*

Is it possible to create an alert based on storage % yet? I've tried several ways and failed in a fiery crash. -JV

Hi, On some machines (debian 6 & 7) I don't have any output of my bandwidth. Port information are correct, I can see correct MAC and all IP address associated to this port but my graph are empty. Poller output for eth0 : [ifIndex] => 4 [ifDescr] => eth0 [ifType] => ethernetCsmacd [ifMtu] => 1500 [ifSpeed] => 1000000000 [ifPhysAddress] => 8:x0:xe:xc:ex:xe [ifAdminStatus] => up [ifOperStatus] => up [ifLastChange] => 0:0:00:00.00 [ifInOctets] => 529940242 [ifInUcastPkts] => 225555807 [ifInNUcastPkts] => 0 [ifInDiscards] => 0 [ifInErrors] => 0 [ifInUnknownProtos] => 0 [ifOutOctets] => 1075923292 [ifOutUcastPkts] => 280183099 [ifOutNUcastPkts] => 0 [ifOutDiscards] => 0 [ifOutErrors] => 0 [ifOutQLen] => 0 [ifSpecific] => zeroDotZero [ifName] => eth0 [ifInMulticastPkts] => 0 [ifInBroadcastPkts] => 0 [ifOutMulticastPkts] => 0 [ifOutBroadcastPkts] => 0 [ifHCInOctets] => 56364515090 [ifHCInUcastPkts] => 225555807 [ifHCInMulticastPkts] => 0 [ifHCInBroadcastPkts] => 0 [ifHCOutOctets] => 275953830236 [ifHCOutUcastPkts] => 280183099 [ifHCOutMulticastPkts] => 0 [ifHCOutBroadcastPkts] => 0 [ifHighSpeed] => 1000 [ifPromiscuousMode] => false [ifConnectorPresent] => true [ifAlias] => [ifCounterDiscontinuityTime] => 0:0:00:00.00 Linux 3.10.9-xxxx-grs-ipv6-64 (Debian 7) This interface support IPv4 & IPv6 and I actually have some traffic on it. At first I thougth it was a probleme with IPv4 + v6 but I also got an old machine with IPv4 only and this machine got empty graph too. Any idea to solve this ? Maxence

Hi, I enabled bind apps on 2 servers but actually I got no rrd file on my observium server but on the web interface I can see both of them with pic embed but corrupted. Any clue ?

Thanks for your help :) Maxence

Brocade VDX Support?
by Aaron Mayfield 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

I notice my Brocade routers seem to work fine in Observium. What about VDX switches? Does anyone know if Observium can work with these? Currently evaluating switches for our network, and would like to know if this would be a possible issue... Thanks
