'x' not working anymore in input fields
by Matthias Cramer 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

Hi I've noticed this afternoon that I'm no longer able to enter the character 'x' or 'X' in any input field. Pasting the character works but not normal keyboard input. All other characters seam to work as before. A work collogue has the same problem. So I think it's not the browser. The new behaviour seams to be on one of the changes since Thursday. I had a look at them and can't see and thing suspicious. I currently run svn version 4715. Any Idea where to look ...

EX4200/4550 VC - Port Polling ~200 Seconds
by Tyler Christiansen 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

Testing Observium, I've noticed that polling an EX4200/4550 with Observium takes about 200 seconds. There are around 300 ports, and I've noticed that Observium polls the logical interfaces as separate from the physical interfaces. I considered disabling logical interface polling, but the logical interfaces are used for a lot of port correlations, etc. Cacti with Spine takes 13 seconds to poll everything in our network, and Cacti with the PHP poller takes maybe 2 minutes to poll everything in our network. Because of Cacti's ability to handle this particular device (even with its PHP poller), I'm pretty convinced that the issue isn't the device. I've checked interface, memory, and CPU utilization on the Observium server as well as the device and the network in-between. Everything is fine. I've also turned Cacti off to ensure there was no strange clash. I also turned polling off for all ports that were in a "down" state and disabled those ports in the switch as well. It almost seems that Observium's poller walks one OID at a time in serial, or otherwise does some ridiculously complex discovery on every poll that it doesn't need to do. Cacti does bulk requests, so it gets around 50 OIDs per request to the switch stack. Is it possible that I'm missing something in the Observium configuration? Thanks! --Tyler

When I include the rancid integration...where should "anything" show up? Is there a chart, graph, or something, or is it the email updates? Regards, Ryan Milton MVS Network Manager o: 201-447-1505 x124 c: 862-249-5230 www.mvsusa.com<http://www.mvsusa.com/> [MVS final logo GOOD very small]

RRD, Graphs and Draw Errors
by Moermond, Timothy 24 Oct '13

24 Oct '13

Hi, I recently updated to the subscription model of observium and did a clean install, but did use my old config.php file. I have several pages where the graphs show draw errors. I have tried setting the permissions on the RRD to apache:apache as indicated in the instructions, which did not seem to change the behavior. I then switched it to root:root, which also does not seem to change the behavior. I reviewed the information on RRD and Graph issues from the mailing list archives, unfortunately the couple of items I found to try did not seem to change the issue either. I did remove the ?> tag and the remaining white space at the end of the config.php file. I have attached a screen shot of the current permissions for the RRD directory and a screen of from one of the pieces of equipment showing the draw error. Some graphs appear to draw but do not contain data such as the CPU graphs. I am not sure how to proceed to further isolate what may be wrong. I have verified the path to the RRD directory and Executable on the system and checked that they were good in the config.php file. Thank you, Tim

See, no pictures. Also, I do believe that innthis instance it's Paul who needs to convince me to put up with the crappy code his customer asked him to get included. :) I'm the one who knocks! Adam.

mini-/micrographs stacked / aggregated?
by Andreas Rüdel 24 Oct '13

24 Oct '13

Greetings Is there a way we can create "aggregated" (or "stacked") mini-/micrographs for the frontpage? using this syntax $config['frontpage']['minigraphs']['ids'] = "19418,port_bits,Dist76-01.AMS4;19496,port_bits,NAME"; or this: $config['frontpage']['micrographs']['RING']['ids'] = "19414,port_bits,NAME;19492,port_bits,NAME2;19439,port_bits,NAME3"; results in several graphs next to each other. what we are after is in "mini" or "micro" what we can do it using "custom" traffic graphs - but they are too big for what we are trying to do... $config['frontpage']['custom_traffic']['ids'] = "19418,19496"; <-- this actually stacks the data into one graph thanks for any pointers! Andreas

Radius Auth on Win2k8 NPS - malformed message
by Christian Hügel 23 Oct '13

23 Oct '13

Hi, I try to configure observium with radius auth against a (working) win2k8 NPS Server; this failes with the follwing error message on the server: "A malformed RADIUS message was received from client %1. The data is the RADIUS message." http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc735403%28v=ws.10%29.aspx Any hints why radius auth doesn´t work in Observium? Chris
