App Bind - No rrd file
by Maxence BITTERLI 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

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 ? Where should I check to try to debug it ? If I try telnet localhost 36602, I can see <<<app-bind-0>>> And I got an output of 1185 lines for this apps, maybe my results is too long ? 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

Help - Syslog-NG
by Hardcastle, Iain (CBC - Hamilton) 04 Mar '14

04 Mar '14

Hi all, I have an observium system running quite happily. I've tried to integrate the syslogging functionality but getting strange results. Not sure whether the problem lies with syslog-ng, PHP or the sucking of data into Observium. Let me explain: With syslog-ng started in foreground mode 'syslog-ng -Fevd' everything works as expected. I see syslog packets coming in via tcpdump, I see the log flash up on the terminal and it correctly routes into the right part of the Observium front end. With syslog-ng started as a daemon (the desired config setup), nothing gets to Observium. I can still see the syslog packets in tcpdump obviously but I'm blind as to what happens to the messages after that. One thing I have noticed is that when running syslog-ng in foreground mode, I see "Starting destination program; cmdline='/opt/observium/syslog.php'" in the startup messages and a corresponding process in the ps -lax output "php /opt/observium/syslog.php" With syslog-ng started as a daemon, I do not see this php process. Bit stuck as to where to look next. Has anyone seen this behavior before? Centos6.5 and standard packages and configs. System works great otherwise/ Cheers iain Deloitte refers to one or more of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited, a UK private company limited by guarantee, and its network of member firms, each of which is a legally separate and independent entity.

How to disable the "Overall Peering" graph?
by Shane O'Brien 04 Mar '14

04 Mar '14

Hello! We are experiencing an issue where we currently have no peering traffic and our Overall Peering graph on our Observium landing page is broken. We'd like to remove it, but when we select the option to not display broken graphs. It removes all of our graphs and not just the single broken one. Any guidance or assistance is appreciated. -Shane

change port name/description?
by Tom De Puysseleyr 04 Mar '14

04 Mar '14

Hi again, SNMP traps are working (thanks to the wiki), so now I can see nearly immediately when a port on a switch goes down. However, something like "Nortel Networks BayStack 5510-24T Ethernet Switch Module - Unit 1 Port 1" doesn't say much about what exactly went down. Just an idea: would it be possible to provide a way to edit the port names?

Vyatta snmpd errors in ports module
by Robert Williams 01 Mar '14

01 Mar '14

Hi, On the latest version of Vyatta (6.6 R1) we are getting these errors for every physical port on every poller run: snmpd[3872]: access:dot3StatsTable,interface_ioctl_dot3Stats_get, cannot get stats information for interface |eth5| snmpd[3872]: access:dot3StatsTable,interface_ioctl_dot3Stats_get, cannot get stats information for interface |eth0| snmpd[3872]: access:dot3StatsTable,interface_ioctl_dot3Stats_get, cannot get stats information for interface |eth3| snmpd[3872]: access:dot3StatsTable,interface_ioctl_dot3Stats_get, cannot get stats information for interface |eth2| snmpd[3872]: access:dot3StatsTable,interface_ioctl_dot3Stats_get, cannot get stats information for interface |eth4| snmpd[3872]: access:dot3StatsTable,interface_ioctl_dot3Stats_get, cannot get stats information for interface |eth1| However everything on the graphs looks fine. I’ve tracked it down to the ports module, which when run by itself causes the errors on the Vyatta box: (The stats are low because it’s not actually in production and only eth4 and eth4.497 are link-up) router.name 311 vyatta (unix) Uptime: 4h 23m 4s Module time: 0.0684s Hardware: Version: Features: VC6.6R1 Serial: Asset: Module time: 0.0132s Caching Oids: ifEntry ifXEntry dot3StatsDuplexStatus Port Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

However, to stand a hope of getting it sorted I wondered if anyone could suggest what part of the ‘ports’ module could possibly cause an error like this in the snmpd of the Vyatta? Then I can try to take it up on the Vyatta forums, but at the moment I can’t even explain which I’m trying to poll when the error occurs because I don’t know what steps in the ports module are likely to cause this. Any suggestions / pointers welcome! Robert Williams Custodian Data Centre Email: Robert(a)CustodianDC.com http://www.CustodianDC.com
