Reporting Windows mount points in CE edition
by Silvio del Val Hinojal 05 Aug '17

05 Aug '17

Hello, Currently we are using Observium to monitor many Windows servers and I can see CE edition doesn't show Windows mount points in host filesystem. Do Professional edition shows them ? It would be great to monitor disks capacity for typical disks (C:, D: ) as well as mount points. Regards, Silvio

Questions

Hi, We're currently using Observium CE 0.16.9.8118 (30th September 2016) and mostly love the system. Not being a native Linux user has kept me on my toes! Our deployment is monitoring customer premises equipment over hub (us and Observium server) spoke (each client network) VPN tunnels. We're ready to start spending some money with you guys but had a few questions please? 1. Is it possible to set device dependencies, so for instance, if a WAN router fails, all of the devices behind it don't show as down? 2. Is it possible for a device to not show as down unless it fails to respond to multiple polling requests (such as three attempts?) Alerting to be based on these rules? 3. Can we brand the login page an UI with our company details, as we offer the whole system in a MSP role? Thank you. Kind regards, Jon Bennell *Polaris Networks* *T: *+44 203 397 3535 *W: *www.polarisnetworks.co.uk

LDAP Auth Help
by Troy 04 Aug '17

04 Aug '17

Happy end of the week! I'm struggling with LDAP auth (we use Jumpcloud <https://support.jumpcloud.com/customer/portal/articles/2439911> - so I think we have an added layer of weirdness to contend with). I can't find any information about how to generate (or where it might end up) debugging output so I can work out what I am doing wrong. I've configured the server details via the GUI and the config.php file has: $config['auth_mechanism'] = "ldap"; // default, other options: ldap, http-auth, please see documentation for config help $config['auth_ldap_binddn'] = "uid=ldap,ou=Users,o={AN_ACTUAL_VALUE},dc=jumpcloud,dc=com"; // Initial LDAP bind dn and password, leave empty for bind with user's dn $config['auth_ldap_bindpw'] = "{AN_ACTUAL_VALUE}"; $config['auth_ldap_bindanonymous'] = FALSE; $config['auth_ldap_groups']['observium']['level'] = 10; $config['auth_ldap_prefix'] = "uid="; $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",ou=Users,o={AN_ACTUAL_VALUE},dc=jumpcloud,dc=com"; $config['auth_ldap_groupbase'] = "cn=observium,ou=Users,o={AN_ACTUAL_VALUE},dc=jumpcloud,dc=com"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmemberattr'] = "memberUid"; I'm trying to auth with an account that is a member of that group, but when I attempt to login the page just appears to refresh with no feedback. I've tried /?debug=yes , /?debug=on - but they don't output pre-auth. I've also had a look at the documentation <http://docs.observium.org/config_options/#debugging-profiling-settings> for debugging - but it's geared more towards operational debugging - and makes no mention of transactional debugging. The group data is below, any help would be appreciated! Thank you in advance. cn: observium description: tagGroup member: uid={A_USERNAME},ou=Users,o={A_VALUE},dc=jumpcloud,dc=com uid={A_USERNAME},ou=Users,o={A_VALUE},dc=jumpcloud,dc=com uid={A_USERNAME},ou=Users,o={A_VALUE},dc=jumpcloud,dc=com objectClass: top groupOfNames ou: observium -- Aperim Pty Ltd ACN 150 699 737 Disclaimer - Unless clearly stated otherwise this email and any files transmitted with it should be considered without prejudice and are confidential and contain privileged or copyright information.

ZFS File systems issue and incorrect storage reporting
by Hamilton, Kent 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

I have a system where the storage sizes are being reported incorrectly and there appears to be an issue with reading ZFS file systems being reported at all. I have 4 NAS (OmniOS) servers that are ZFS based, but none of the ZFS disk space is being reported at all. For example: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /usr/lib/libc/libc_hwcap1.so.1 118167920 2484288 115683632 3% /lib/libc.so.1 swap 8399672 336 8399336 1% /etc/svc/volatile swap 8399428 92 8399336 1% /tmp swap 8399396 60 8399336 1% /var/run rpool/export 115683728 96 115683632 1% /export rpool/export/home 115683728 96 115683632 1% /export/home nas01c 4392986368 96 4392986272 1% /nas01c nas01c/vm 5658664448 1437476772 4221187676 26% /nas01c/vm rpool 115683736 104 115683632 1% /rpool nas01c/vm-data 5031018412 809830736 4221187676 17% /nas01c/vm-data nas01c/backup_appliance 4221268004 80328 4221187676 1% /nas01c/backup_appliance Yet Observium is only showing: Mountpoint Size Used Free Usage % /etc/svc/volatile 9.29GB 336kB 9.29GB 100% 0% /lib/libc.so.1 112GB 2.37GB 110GB 98% 2% /tmp 9.29GB 92kB 9.29GB 100% 0% /var/run 9.29GB 60kB 9.29GB 100% 0% I have another system that is mixed ZFS, XFS storage and on that one, on the "Alerts" page for the system Observium is seeing the filesystems as: Mountpoint Size Used Free Usage % / 281GB 138GB 142GB 51% 49% /backup0 757GB 7.17TB -6.4TB -868% 968% /backup1 757GB 10.1TB -9.4TB -1276% 1376% /scratch 3.64TB 903GB 2.75TB 76% 24% /zfsbkp 1.64TB 128kB 1.64TB 100% 0% /zfsbkp/code 7.11TB 5.47TB 1.64TB 23% 77% The actual sizes are: / 281GB /backup0 34.33TB /backup1 34.33TB /scratch 3.64TB /zfsbkp 1.64TB /zfsbkp/code 7.11TB I've tried deleting it and re-adding with the same result.

Multiple Payments
by Franks Andy (IT Technical Architecture Manager) 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

Hi, We're a subscriber to observium professional and recently did what we did last year and paid the £240 for renewal. The accounts department are querying that a further £180 has been taken out in the same month. I can only assume this is due to an auto renewal system. How do I enable / disable this, and how can we claim the money back since we seem to have paid twice? Thanks Andy Franks

Help with Alert Checker matching
by Troy 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

I'm hoping somebody can help with an alert checker. I'd like to look at "port_descr_notes" and if it contains NoAlert anywhere in it - not have it fire the *should be up rule*. ifAdminStatus equals up ifOperStatus equals down I've tried... port_descr_notes notmatch *NoAlert* port_descr_notes notregexp .*NoAlert.* Both with no success (they both completely invalidate the rule). The string "NoAlert" should be able to fall anywhere in the description, start, middle, end - or just completely by itself. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Wildcards in hostname device match not working
by Sebastian Klute 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

Hello everyone, today I noticed that wildcards are not working anymore if I use them for hostnames as I create new alert checker. the hostnames I try to trigger are commonly looking like this: vh01-name vh02-name ... vh16-name Simple running numbers counting up and the rest is the same. I tried the following masks as match: *name* vh* vh*-name none of the above are working. The current workaround is to write a hostname check for every machine, as I got 16 Device Match entries at the moment. Could this be because of the !=/ne operand I use? Because the logical function I try to accomplish is filtering out specific servers from a alerter, so they will be ignored and not checked. Can you give an advise? Thanks and much regards, Sebastian
