Observium Gone Crazy, bro?
by Ryan Milton 09 Jun '14

09 Jun '14

Hi All, I have an unusual issue in that after the last two updates (not that it was as a result), that Observium slams me with some 3000 "up/down" messages of all the devices in my network. The emails all come in a flood over a couple of minutes. Is there any reason that this should occur within Observium? Thanks, Ry

It might also be an OpenSUSE default. I read somewhere that this would be a 'feature' of recent versions of mysql. I could only get rid of it with an explicit sql-mode="" in my.cnf whereas I couldn't find another config file anywhere on the system. But wouldn't it make more sense to just add a default value of "0" to all columns? I mean in the long run. /Steffen -- Steffen Klemer E-Mail: Steffen.Klemer(a)gwdg.de Tel: +49 551 39 172361 __________________________________________________________________ GWDG Am Fassberg 11, 37077 Göttingen URL: http://www.gwdg.de E-Mail: gwdg(a)gwdg.de Tel.: +49 (0)551 201-1510 Fax: +49 (0)551 201-2150 Geschäftsführer: Prof. Dr. Ramin Yahyapour Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Dipl.-Kfm.

observium does not work with recent versions of MySQL
by Steffen Klemer 06 Jun '14

06 Jun '14

Hey everybody, I don't know whether this already came up, but with recent versions of mysql (like in the latest openSUSE) many features (VLANs, Ports, Routing, Events) of observium are no longer accessible. This is because of a new default "sql_mode = strict_trans_tables" which don't longer allow constructs like INSERT INTO `ports-state` (`port_id`) VALUES ('4713') in tables without default values for the other columns. The solution was a sql-mode="" in my.cnf. I suppose this will sooner or later also hit Debian/ Ubuntu. Perhaps you might fix this in one of the following versions? Otherwise observium over fulfilled all my needs and wishes. Thank you for this wonderful piece of software! cheers /Steffen -- Steffen Klemer E-Mail: Steffen.Klemer(a)gwdg.de Tel: +49 551 39 172361 __________________________________________________________________ GWDG Am Fassberg 11, 37077 Göttingen URL: http://www.gwdg.de E-Mail: gwdg(a)gwdg.de Tel.: +49 (0)551 201-1510 Fax: +49 (0)551 201-2150 Geschäftsführer: Prof. Dr. Ramin Yahyapour Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Dipl.-Kfm.

mikrotik ip add/remove not working
by Simon Smith 06 Jun '14

06 Jun '14

Hi people, we have a mikrotik unit that we monitor and we have a PPPOE interface on it, that we monitor the PPPOE interface sadly drops every so often and the IP on it changes … ( I know dynamic ip for pppoe is bad, we are in process of sorting out a static ip ) but for some reason the observium, doesn’t notice the interface ip was removed then readded or even changed !? it notices that the interface is offline and alerts me… but not the IP change or re-add can someone look into this, or tell me where i could begin looking to find the problem regards Simon

Hi All, hoping someones got some light on this error i’m seeing every so often... I monitor one of our Mailcleaners (http://www.mailcleaner.org) and every time I restart the mailcleaner service or the mailcleaner itself i get the following message in Observium System snmpEngineID changed: 80001F8880BF0033479D178E5300000000 -> 80001F8880DC0B531E1F92915300000000 (probably the device was replaced). The device will be rediscovered. if i look in my snmpd.conf all i see is the following com2sec local 127.0.0.1 mailcleaner com2sec local X.X.X.X mailcleaner com2sec local 127.0.0.1 mailcleaner group MyROGroup v1 local group MyROGroup v2c local group MyROGroup usm local view all included .1 80 access MyROGroup "" any noauth exact all none none exec getmsgs /usr/mailcleaner/bin/get_today_stats.pl -m exec getspams /usr/mailcleaner/bin/get_today_stats.pl -s exec getbytes /usr/mailcleaner/bin/get_today_stats.pl -b exec getvirus /usr/mailcleaner/bin/get_today_stats.pl -v exec getstatus /usr/mailcleaner/bin/get_status.pl -s exec getspools /usr/mailcleaner/bin/get_status.pl -p exec getload /usr/mailcleaner/bin/get_status.pl -l exec getdisks /usr/mailcleaner/bin/get_status.pl -d exec getmem /usr/mailcleaner/bin/get_status.pl -m exec getstats /usr/mailcleaner/bin/get_today_stats.pl -B perl push (@INC, "/usr/mailcleaner/lib"); require SNMPAgent; SNMPAgent->init(); syslocation XXXXX syscontact XXXXX disk / 100000 disk /var 100000 #This line allows Observium to detect the host OS if the distro script is installed ( ADDED MANUALLY ) extend .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.7890.1 distro /usr/bin/distro Anyone have any ideas how I can clear this error or get rid of it ?

Hi, If we were thinking of moving to the subscription service with some service options for feature development etc but our VM infrastructure is RHEL would we be unable to get the development service as the OS is unsupported or is it just the installation process that's unsupported? Regards, Emma
