Openstreetmap / Cartocdn wrong certificate
by Matthias Cramer 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

Hi All I just came back from vacation and updated Observium. The map is now done with OSM/Carto, which is nice, boot it took me a while to find out why no map was loading. As it looks like all the cdn nodes have no SAN for *.basemaps.cartocdn.com The tiles get loaded in my browser from a.basemaps.cartocdn.com b.basemaps.cartocdn.com c.basemaps.cartocdn.com After adding an exception for these, all works well.. Does anyone have the same issue?

Observium LDAP Edit Users very buggy
by Dano, Leo 19 Aug '16

19 Aug '16

Hello, I think I may have found the specific device access only via the Edit Users area. The only issue is that it is hit n miss. I sometimes can see my ldap users that have logged in and sometimes not. Once I do see the users, I edit one and give that person access to a group, but if I click any link, it puts me back at the login page. Which takes a few tries to log back in. Then sometimes when I click the edit users, no users show up. Is this part of the bugginess of Observium and LDAP integration? I am using the latest version per Subscription. Thanks, ----------------------- Leo Dano

by Dano, Leo 18 Aug '16

18 Aug '16

We currently have ours using ldap and have a specific ldap group as admins "level 10" We also have a level 5 login which is not admins. Is there a way to narrow down what the non admins see as far as hosts? Thanks, ----------------------- Leo Dano

Rancid integration - config tabs won't show up
by Pirmin Sidler - Computerline 17 Aug '16

17 Aug '16

Hi @ll First, I want to give you guys from Observium a big thumb up because having a such easy webapp, so easily maintainable, so powerful and all without marketing layers and super complicated licensing makes you kind of unique on the market. Now to the issue, I'm trying to integrate my rancid files into the latest stable version of Observium (did it last week following official observium tutorial). Now I have multiple entries in the config.php (because of multiple router.db files/directories in rancid) : $config['rancid_configs'][] = "/var/lib/rancid/ juniper1/configs/"; $config['rancid_configs'][] = "/var/lib/rancid/ juniper2/configs/"; $config['rancid_configs'][] = "/var/lib/rancid/ juniper3/configs/"; $config['rancid_ignorecomments'] = 0; All the /var/lib/rancid/ directory is chowned by rancid:rancid. www-data is in rancid group. I restarted apache2. I cleared the cache from browser. I checked the config in the observium web-interface and it's correctly read by the server (I see the lines above). I checked the hostnames, and the ones I am backing up with rancid are matching the ones registered in the observium. But there are some observium devices I am not backing up yet. (I guess it's not an issue right?). Can anybody help me out with this? Thanks a lot Kind regards, Freundliche Grüsse, Pirmin Sidler System & Network Engineer [cid:image001.jpg@01D1F865.CC141AB0]

Hi there, I've configured an alert that checks if ifInOctets_perc exceeds 80% utilisation and I'm finding that the alert is being triggered for normal amounts of traffic. What steps can I take to resolve this? Here's an example alert email: ALERT *Alert* *Entity* en1 *Conditions* ifInOctets_perc ge 80 (275) ifOutOctets_perc ge 80 (80) *Metrics* ifInOctets_perc = 275 ifOutOctets_perc = 80 *Duration* 4m 36s (2016-08-17 08:31:09) Device *Device* server1.example.com *Hardware* Generic x86 [64bit] *Operating System* Mac OS X 15.6.0 *Location* *Uptime* 12 days, 10h 45m 35s port_percent

UNIX agent for PostgreSQL creating a new RRD file every poll since Aug 12
by Musall Maik 16 Aug '16

16 Aug '16

Hi, I noticed that postgresql application data disappeard on all servers recently. It ran fine for years, but since Aug 12, a new rrd file gets created on every poll, and the postgresql application tab is absent for all servers. I'm updating my installation daily on 9am, so this started happening after the Aug 12 update. Here's the oldest few files (out of over 1200 so far) for one of the servers: -rw-rw-r-- 1 observium observium 2086688 Aug 12 09:40 app-postgresql-12.rrd -rw-rw-r-- 1 observium observium 2086688 Aug 12 09:35 app-postgresql-11.rrd -rw-rw-r-- 1 observium observium 2086688 Aug 12 09:30 app-postgresql-10.rrd -rw-rw-r-- 1 observium observium 2086688 Aug 12 09:25 app-postgresql-9.rrd -rw-rw-r-- 1 observium observium 2086688 Aug 12 09:20 app-postgresql-8.rrd -rw-rw-r-- 1 observium observium 2086688 Aug 12 09:15 app-postgresql-7.rrd -rw-rw-r-- 1 observium observium 2086688 Aug 12 09:10 app-postgresql-6.rrd -rw-rw-r-- 1 observium observium 2086688 Aug 12 09:05 app-postgresql-5.rrd -rw-rw-r-- 1 observium observium 2086688 Apr 14 09:00 app-postgresql-_index_.rrd -rw-rw-r-- 1 observium observium 2086688 Apr 16 2015 app-postgresql-.rrd Apparently some change went wrong?
