Observium Enterprise

20 Mar '19

Hello, Is there a docu or install guide for the distributed setup? I have manually installed the rrd and mysql server - the install script only has the option to install the community, pro stable, pro rolling and unix agent. How to I install the gui server and pollers properly that they are all getting updated? Do I have to run the install script on every poller and remove the packages I do not need on them - like mysql server? thx, Alex

Spurious Peaks and Troughs
by Terry Stone 18 Mar '19

18 Mar '19

We are seeing spurious peaks and troughs on some traces from a MX480 Juniper router. We are sure that these events are not actually occurring and are trying to track down the reason for them. I wonder if other users might be able to help? Thanks Terry

Help with Dell X1026P switch
by Heil, Rick 18 Mar '19

18 Mar '19

Hi all – I’m having some issues with a Dell X1026P switch. It polls ports and VLANs, but doesn’t pull in processor info, status checks, etc. like our other switches of similar model in the Dell lineup or even show the Dell logo – its stuck on “Generic Device” with the mascot and question mark. I’m wondering if this switch’s snmp implementation just sucks, or if there’s a MIB or some snmpwalk specific output I can give that might help determine why observium doesn’t seem to understand what the switch is. Thanks for any pointers in the right direction. Rick

SLA and CBQOS missing
by Bastiaan Topper 18 Mar '19

18 Mar '19

Hello, We are experiencing an issue with IP SLA and CBQOS. The items are missing from the menu and on the device-specific tab. When we do a manual discovery and a manual polling of a device, it all appears back again. After waiting a few minutes (appears to be till the normal poller wrapper runs again), the data is missing again. This is now since a week or 3 and we can’t get it fixed. How can we further troubleshoot this/fix this? Kind regards, Bastiaan Topper

Alert Changes in newest subscription update? Hello all. I'm fairly green with Linux as well as Observium. I stood up the community edition on Centos 3.10.0-957.1.3.el7.x86_64 and found it to be a very useful tool. Management supported moving to subscription. I have various alert checkers setup and everything seemed to be very happy and good until updating to revision 9727 on 2/28/2019. It seemed like Observium started becoming more "sensitive" to things and has generated false positives on devices being down when they actually aren't. I tried locating release notes on the revision to see if any changes were made to alerting, to no avail. I just ran another update this morning and we are now on 9775. I guess what I'm asking is if there were changes to alerting / polling that may require me to tweak my settings. Thank you in advance for any insight...and this is an absolutely terrific tool. The subscription price is a steal compared to other commercial packages available that are 10 times the cost and about 100 times less useful. Very Respectfully, Kenneth R.

I think the documentation for the distributed setup on the site is still only partially complete. As is the way when you have to decide between code and documentation! :) At the moment the script doesn't have an option to install a "partial" install, but a regular one will do fine. You can remove mysql and apache after the install. When updating the master and slave instances, you only need to do "./discovery.php -u" on the master, since that's where all of the data is held. The rest only need svn up for code updates. adam.

We've got quite a few years of legacy data in our Professional instance and of course, we'd like to retain all of that during the migration to Enterprise. Please post again about your progress with distributed Enterprise - that's the next challenge over here.

I’ve installed one manually and one with the script – only wanted to make sure I’m not doing anything wrong or messing up something. We have a datacenter in US, EU and CN where the RRDCache and MySQL instance is running in EU and I want to deploy two or three pollers in every other datacenter. Anyone using MySQL active/active or Galera cluster or is it recommended to stick with a single MySQL server? Thanks, Alex From: observium <observium-bounces(a)observium.org> On Behalf Of Adam Armstrong via observium Hi Alexander, These are very new features, and the documentation is trailing a little. I think the documentation for the distributed setup on the site is still only partially complete. As is the way when you have to decide between code and documentation! :) At the moment the script doesn't have an option to install a "partial" install, but a regular one will do fine. You can remove mysql and apache after the install. When updating the master and slave instances, you only need to do "./discovery.php -u" on the master, since that's where all of the data is held. The rest only need svn up for code updates. adam.

Oxidized for config management & notifications
by Colin Stubbs 14 Mar '19

14 Mar '19

All, I've added the first stage of a patch for better Oxidized support via the existing JIRA ticket from 2016, https://jira.observium.org/browse/OBS-1986 What I'm building is what I've described in the JIRA comment, which basically means that we shift to using the Oxidized API properly rather than files on an immediately accessible filesystem. Not too hard to write and the rest of it'll be done shortly. But I am very interested in feedback about Oxidized. Particularly as the project is in need of maintainers to really keep it going - https://github.com/ytti/oxidized#help-needed Are you using it? How well's it going? Do you agree with what I'm proposing to add to Observium and see value in it? (See below) OR; have you found something better and have since moved away from Oxidized to another OSS or a COTS product? NOTE: Rants about Ruby/Oxidized or SVN/git being bad exist in the same leaky mentally challenged boat as rants about RANCID/Perl being bad. Don't bother. At the moment the main thing that's missing from the existing reuse of the RANCID code in an Oxidized environment; is the ability to see diffs when it's a git repo rather than Subversion. A secondary issue with the existing RANCID support is that the Observium web interface needs access to SVN/configs via the file system. So you either need run Oxidized on the same box; or export the file system to it using NFS/etc. There's a lot of reasons why you might be wanting to run Oxidized elsewhere and don't want to expose a file system from it back to your Observium implementation. -- From JIRA -- The ideal integration here would actually utilise the Oxidized API so the Oxidized system can exist anywhere; rather than on a file system immediately accessible to the Observium webUI. e.g. config from https://oxidized-not-obserivum-server.org.tld/node/fetch/[NODE] Observium would also expose a list of hosts (may already be in API?); that Oxidized would use as a list of devices to monitor, https://github.com/ytti/oxidized/blob/master/docs/Sources.md#source-http Syslog (SNMP trap to syslog where necessary) alerting matches for config change events would trigger Oxidized based collection of new config; which in turn would trigger Oxidized based alerts in close to real time for changes. -Colin

Hi, really as I see, this is firmware/hardware issue. Better write TAC to Cisco. I added ifType ignoring in validate ports (for this os) in r9755. But I see too many not exist Oids, I'm not sure this will help you..
