Cannot create RRD for type exim - not found in definitions
by Wouter de Man 15 Jul '20

15 Jul '20

Running latest rolling release 20.6.10499. Trying to add Exim stats via the Unix agent. Seems RRD definitions are missing for the 'exim' application, they only exist for the 'exim-mailqueue' application'. See below the related debug output of poller.php --- SQL[SELECT * FROM `applications` WHERE `device_id` = '83'] ROWS[2] SQL RUNTIME[0.00004196s] o Applications exim SQL[SELECT * FROM `applications` WHERE `device_id` = '83' AND `app_type` = 'exim' AND `app_instance` IS NULL] ROWS[1] SQL RUNTIME[0.00018406s] .Cannot create RRD for type exim - not found in definitions!

Varnish Agent not working
by Simone Montagnani 15 Jul '20

15 Jul '20

Hi, I have already used varnish agent on a server with version 4, now I'm trying to let it work on varnish version 6.4. observium_agent is responding, but the result of varnish agent is empty : <<<app-varnish>>> ;;;;;;;;;;;;; instead of: <<<app-varnish>>> 212916238;0;0;1393;0;;0;0;393297;1216912816;160350799;0;657384598; like I have on the old one. If I lunch perl varnish I don't get any particular error, maybe the agent must be updated to work with new versions? I see varnish perl script is using varnishstat -x , and the results are somehow different from the old varnish version: VARNISH 6.4: <?xml version="1.0"?> <varnishstat timestamp="2020-07-01T15:38:00"> <stat> <name>MGT.uptime</name> <value>60710</value> <flag>c</flag> <format>d</format> <description>Management process uptime</description> </stat> <stat> <name>MGT.child_start</name> <value>1</value> <flag>c</flag> <format>i</format> <description>Child process started</description> </stat> <stat> <name>MGT.child_exit</name> <value>0</value> <flag>c</flag> <format>i</format> <description>Child process normal exit</description> </stat> <stat> <name>MGT.child_stop</name> <value>0</value> <flag>c</flag> <format>i</format> <description>Child process unexpected exit</description> </stat> <stat> <name>MGT.child_died</name> <value>0</value> <flag>c</flag> <format>i</format> <description>Child process died (signal)</description> </stat> VARNISH 4 <?xml version="1.0"?> <varnishstat timestamp="2020-07-01T15:37:43"> <stat> <type>MAIN</type> <name>uptime</name> <value>13848724</value> <flag>c</flag> <format>d</format> <description>Child process uptime</description> </stat> <stat> <type>MAIN</type> <name>sess_conn</name> <value>250458042</value> <flag>c</flag> <format>i</format> <description>Sessions accepted</description> </stat> <stat> <type>MAIN</type> <name>sess_drop</name> <value>0</value> <flag>c</flag> <format>i</format> <description>Sessions dropped</description> </stat> <stat> <type>MAIN</type> <name>sess_fail</name> <value>0</value> <flag>c</flag> <format>i</format> <description>Session accept failures</description> </stat> <stat> <type>MAIN</type> <name>client_req_400</name> <value>1236</value> <flag>c</flag> <format>i</format> <description>Client requests received, subject to 400 errors</description> </stat> I tried to change the code, because as you can see the parameters are similar but the name now have a prefix like MGT, but mostly "MAIN." for the parameters we are trying to get . I'm no perl esxpert I tried simply to add MAIN. but it still isn't working... Any ideas? Best regards, Simone

SNMP + Syslog Question
by Randy Schultz 15 Jul '20

15 Jul '20

I am interested in merging SNMP + Syslog data from the firewalls (SonicWALL) I manage. With this data, I would like to accomplish two things... 1. Monitor for security events and send alerts if / when appropriate 2. Generate and send regulatory (PCI) compliance reports...this includes performance stats such as Up Time / Down Time as well as security stats (e.g. Intrusions blocked / detected)...these stats would ideally be displayed in some form of chart At present, SNMP data is being collected by Observium and Syslog data is being collected by Graylog. The question is where would it be best to merge the data so as to accomplish the goals outlined above. Graylog has the ability to search its data and generate report widgets (i.e. tables / charts) which in turn can be placed on a Dashboard. If I take this approach I would need to send Observium's SNMP data to Graylog but I've not been able to figure out how to do so. Observium has the ability to ingest Syslog data and alert on it but it's unclear on how I could use it to generate tables / charts for reporting purposes. I would appreciate any thoughts / recommendations on either of the options listed here. -- Randy Schultz

poll ports without VLAN information
by Henrik Aarfeldt 15 Jul '20

15 Jul '20

Hi there, As I remember, when polling a port it will also get VLAN information. Is there a way to don't get VLAN information ? VLAN is disabled in DiscoveryModules and PortsPoll Module. Reason: We have some units with very few interfaces, but a large amount of VLANs. This makes polls take too long time (+999seconds) TIA. -- Med venlig hilsen | Best regards | Mit freundlichen Grüßen | Cordialement | आपकी ईमानदारी से Henrik Aarfeldt Drift > Drift > Overvågning Overvågning + SårbarhedsKortlægning + SvartidsMålinger + NetværksKvalitetsMålinger.

Sensor "friendly" name in alerts?
by Ryan, Spencer J. 18 Jun '20

18 Jun '20

We've got a generic alert set up for "status_event equals alert" however in the alert email there isn't anything that has the decoded/friendly text for the sensor in question. For example a UPS switches to battery power, the Entity is "Output Status" and the graph in the email shows the status going from "2" to "3" but that isn't useful. If I look at the device in the webUI it does show that "Output status" is "onBattery". It would be incredibly useful if that information was available in the alert. ________________________________ Spencer J.

CDP Neighbor detection for devices with names longer than 40 characters
by Pisano, Anthony D. 12 Jun '20

12 Jun '20

Hello, Due to campus naming conventions I have run into several switches with names longer than 40 characters. Normal operation and monitoring is not effected, however Observium does not recognize the neighbor. I believe this is due to it wanting an exact name match, and since the name in observium may be 42 characters, it does not match to the truncated 40 character CDP name. Is there a way we can either manually define a neighbor connection, or have the algorithms ignore any characters above the 40 limit? Perhaps by checking for IP address matching as well?

Issues with Vivotek Cameras
by Dana Bostic 10 Jun '20

10 Jun '20

When I add a Vivotek camera to Observium, works great for one, but when I try to add another one, the System name is the same (in this case h.264 mega-pixel network camera) and it will not add. The name of the device is different, what Observium "pulls in thru SNMP" is the same. Already got device with SNMP-read sysName (h.264 mega-pixel network camera) and 'snmpEngineID' = 80005BA9017F000001 (jq-office-lobby-cam01.bcp.cat.com). I see in JIRA that we are supposed to be able to add more devices with the same system name, but this is not working for the version I have of Observium 20.4.10371 (stable). It is my "belief" that Vivotek is reporting back it's system name to SNMP incorrectly. I do not really "care" if the System Name is wrong, but I cannot add another camera at all. This is what is in the camera configuration and I don't see any other location for a host name. [cid:image002.png@01D63DA5.852215B0] If I do an snmpwalk on the device: SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: H.264 Mega-Pixel Network Camera Observium is pulling what the camera is giving .... So is there a way to change this in the database or a way to say add it anyway?

Observium behind azure app proxy
by Ahmed Rahal 09 Jun '20

09 Jun '20

Hi, I am using observium walled behind an azure application proxy. This mainly exposes an AD authenticated endpoint publicly and proxies all allowed users to the real host. This has been working fine with observium community edition. Now I am switching to the enterprise version of observium and get errors on the dashboard saying 'unauthenticated' for each widget. Note that some of the widgets randomly appear working, then become 'unauthenticated' on a refresh. Also, when on the 'broken' dashboard, refreshing the page sends back to the login page. I can switch back and forth between the 2 versions (community & enterprise, with same config.php) and the issue appears instantly with the enterprise version. How can I diagnose the issue ? Is there any hint on what is going wrong ?

Retain historic data

Dear Experts, Hope all is well with you. Need your valuable advice, I have the below situation. # Physical DC movement done. # Change in Transit provider and change in IP address of AR's. # Polling was disabled before the physical move for AR's and N/W devices. # After physical move by mistake polling was enabled for the AR's, this has caused the loss of historic data captured for AR's by overwriting new data. Question : Can we retain the old historic data of specific devices by copying the whole device RRD folder from backup, if not is there any other method. *Thanks & Regards* *Mohammed Suhail | System Engineer* *Tel : +1-888-853-7733* PGP Fingerprint : 026B 6CEB CC08 152D 9372 0F51 DDFB 6758 6924 FBCC [image: cid:image016.png@01D321AA.4A00A6F0]

Ignore "Status" sensors
by Ryan, Spencer J. 11 May '20

11 May '20

It would be awesome if we could turn alerting for individual "Status Indicators" off the same way we can for normal sensors. We have a few problematic hosts with sensor issues, for example a dead RAID battery on a machine that is getting decomm'd in a few weeks. Unfortunately this means that every day (re-alert interval) we get alarms for these hosts for the same issues. I'd love to be able to just turn those specific Indicators off, without having to remove the whole host from that Alert Checker, as we do still want to know if anything else is wrong with the box. Same with the reoccurring alerts, we want to leave those on for all devices. ________________________________ Spencer J.

Device group membership in alerts?
by Ryan, Spencer J. 05 May '20

05 May '20

I've got a usecase to have the group names that a device is a member of passed down to the alerts, specifically Pagerduty. On the PD side, I can route incidents based on arbitrary details, and if I had group membership I could say "If device.groups contains "Network" route to XXX", instead of having to build a unique alert check for every group. The mocked up SQL query is SELECT group_name FROM groups WHERE group_id IN (SELECT group_id FROM group_table WHERE entity_type = 'device' AND entity_id = ?); Any chance that information can be made available? I'm happy to write the code if needed. ________________________________ Spencer J. Ryan | Manager, Technology and Infrastructure Miller Canfield T +1.313.496.7979 ________________________________

SNMP Max Repetitons enabled - some modules takes longer time to poll
by Kent Johannessen 30 Apr '20

30 Apr '20

Hello, We recently enabled max-rep to improve our Observium installation. And it did reduce polling time for most modules. But we see some module had significant increases. Specifically the poller modules for cisco eigrp, cef and cbqos and the bgp poller also seems to have increased somewhat. Has anyone seen this behavior ? Where should be begin to look?

PPPoE Interfaces Deleted
by shaun＠sbnetworks.co.za 23 Apr '20

23 Apr '20

Hi guys, Please if anyone could offer some advice or guidance I would really appreciate it. I recently deployed Observium in my network for monitoring purposes, everything is working great, better than ever expected, except for the following: Each time a PPPoE client interfaces reconnects, the previous data is deleted, interface is deleted and the graphs and usage data start fresh from the time of the new connection. Is there any way of setting up the Observium installation to retain previous session data and usage and just have it "carry on" recording data each time the PPPoE session reconnects? Any assistance will be appreciated. Thanking you in advance Shaun

sysContact-->Observium Contact
by Ryan, Spencer J. 22 Apr '20

22 Apr '20

Is it possible to use a device's sysContact (Either from SNMP or an override) to tie that to a specific observium contact, or is that for the email transport only? My use case is that I want different devices to go to different pagerduty integrations, and the only way I can see to do that right now is to build different alert checks for each set, with the correct PD "Contact" associated with that checker.

How to diagnose failing ldap
by Michael Spaulding 15 Apr '20

15 Apr '20

So I had the server working with mysql login, but I'm struggling with getting the ldap authentication to work. I copied the example out of the instructions, but every time I enter the username/password, the website just resets. I tried going to http://fqdn/debug, but it just tells me that the cache is disabled in the config, which it is. Unfortunately I can't find any debug logs, or entries in any logs that would help to isolate the issue. This is my Authentication Model section <scrubbed>: // Authentication Model // $config['auth_mechanism'] = "mysql"; // default, other options: ldap, http-auth, please see documentation for config help $config['auth_mechanism'] = "ldap"; $config['auth_ldap_binddn'] = "<Distinguished Name>"; $config['auth_ldap_bindpw'] = "<Password>"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['uid'] = "sAMAccountName"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['uidNumber'] = "objectSid"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['cn'] = "name"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['dn'] = "distinguishedname"; $config['auth_ldap_objectclass'] = "person"; $config['auth_ldap_version'] = 3; $config['auth_ldap_server'] = "<domain controller.domain>"; $config['auth_ldap_port'] = 389; $config['auth_ldap_starttls'] = false; $config['auth_ldap_prefix'] = "uid="; $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",<Distinguished Name Suffix>"; $config['auth_ldap_group'] = array("<Distinguished Name of Observium Users Group>"); $config['auth_ldap_groupbase'] = "<Distinguished Name of Group Base>"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmembertype'] = "fulldn"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmemberattr'] = "member"; unset($config['auth_ldap_groups']); $config['auth_ldap_groups']['Distinguished Name of Observium Admins Group']['level'] = 10; $config['auth_ldap_groups']['Distinguished Name of Observium Users Group']['level'] = 1; Any suggestions are much appreciated!

Default port for web-access
by James Ngo 15 Apr '20

15 Apr '20

Hello everyone, I am totally new to Observium and has found the app is very useful. I installed Observium using the automated method, first on a VirtualBox to test out the features. So far everything has worked for me (yay.) I am planning to install the app on the actual production server, running Ubuntu 18.04 server, latest updates and all However, on the production server, we have already Freeradius which use mysql and phpMyAdmin to maintain the database. These are using the default port 80 I tried to find where I can change the default port at the installation but I could not find anything. If I change the default port in the /etc/apache2/ports.conf (and subsequent in the virtualhost), would that change my Freeradius server default port as well? My second question, is there a command line that I can use to reset the admin username/password? If we forget the admin password, how could we get back to the program? So if anyone here has run both engine on the same server, please shred a light on this for me? Thank you all you guys, and sorry if this question is a nob!

Hello! We have this nice status-graph in observium: [cid:image001.png@01D61338.1A381E30] Is it possible to get an output of a procentage of used user-ports? In my example I have 17/27 = 63% utilization of ports. I dont want to count in ports that are shutdown, often trunk or sfp-ports. Vlan interfaces /port-channels and so on is also counted as UP, but I dont really care about that. Regards Fredrik

Observium on CentOS 8
by Michael Spaulding 15 Apr '20

15 Apr '20

Has anyone had any luck installing Observium on Centos/RHEL 8 yet? And is there any plan to support it in the future? I'm trying to do so and not getting any errors, but I've also been unable to get the graphing to work. The only packages I've been unable to install are php-sodium and MySQL-python, but I got the impression they weren't absolutely necessary from the basic software requirements. The RRD commands appear to run correctly: RRDTool Output: 1233x369 RRDtool Runtime: 0.073s | Total time: 0.074s Michael Spaulding | Systems Administrator Information Technology | Division of Student Affairs 1259 TAMU | College Station, TX 77843-1259 ph: 979.458.9223 | mspaulding(a)tamu.edu | doit.tamu.edu - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY

Using Observium after moving VM
by Leo Dano 10 Apr '20

10 Apr '20

Hello all, Been scratching my head on this one. All I did is move the Observium VM from one network to another (closed). I cannot seem to figure out why I cannot add new hosts. No firewalls in the way. SNMP verified running on the host. Hosts are pinging each other. Is there a command to verify what is wrong between Observium and a host and why it's not adding? I am using public as the SNMP community name. One thing that does seem odd is this message when trying to add a host. No reply on given community *** using v2c, it showing the 3 asterisks versus it saying public. Any suggestions would be awesome! Leo

Apache dies with Segmentation Fault
by Beulen, Klaus 09 Apr '20

09 Apr '20

Hi, we are currently using Observium CE 19.8.10000 as a test installation to monitor part of our switch/router infrastructure (currently about 290 devices, mostly Cisco). From time to time we have problems accessing the UI, the web browser just answers "Page does not work - observium did not send an answer - ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE". When I check the error.log in /var/logs/apache, I find lots of lines like ... [Wed Apr 08 14:44:44.362412 2020] [core:notice] [pid 1367] AH00051: child pid 27005 exit signal Segmentation fault (11), possible coredump in /etc/apache2 [Wed Apr 08 14:44:44.362479 2020] [core:notice] [pid 1367] AH00051: child pid 1696 exit signal Segmentation fault (11), possible coredump in /etc/apache2 [Wed Apr 08 14:44:53.366005 2020] [core:notice] [pid 1367] AH00051: child pid 7903 exit signal Segmentation fault (11), possible coredump in /etc/apache2 ... Is this a known bug/error in this version, or did I eventually configure something wrong? All packages are up to date ("apt update; apt upgrade"). Regards, Klaus.

How to exclude temperature sensors from virtual machines?
by Thomas Stather 08 Apr '20

08 Apr '20

Hi We are using Observium Professional: 20.2.10301 (rolling) Some of our VMs (ESXi) have temperature sensors shown in Observium (either green 100deg. or red 0deg.). This doesn't make any sense and i am searching for a way to disable this. The strange thing is that this happens only for some of our VMs (regardless of the distribution).

An Event Log annoyance
by Richard Kuhns 08 Apr '20

08 Apr '20

Hello, I'm currently running Observium 20.4.10353(rolling) in my test (home office) environment. I had to restart everything 2 days ago when I brought in a new desk and rearranged. I'm monitoring 4 devices: a server (running observium), a Cisco ASA 5505 firewall, a Cisco wireless access point, and an APC UPS with Web/SNMP Management card. Everything is working fine since the restart, except that every 5 minutes I get a new entry in the Event log telling me about how my ASA rebooted; I'm attaching a screenshot. That's the only device that's showing up in the event log. How can I convince observium that it doesn't need to keep telling me about it? Thanks, - Richard -- Richard Kuhns <rjk(a)wintek.com> Systems Administrator Wintek Powered by Tipmont Main: 765-742-8428 Direct: 765-269-8541

Issues with IP SLA
by Cartas, Mauro S. 08 Apr '20

08 Apr '20

Hello experts, Need some help to understand how observium handles IPSLA probes links. We have a fully working weathermap with IP sla information (jitter, echo, etc) all nice with nodes and links. Links are configured this way: LINK A-B INFOURL /graphs/type=sla_jitter/id=10495/ OVERLIBGRAPH /graph.php?height=100&width=512&id=10495&type=sla_jitter&legend=no INBWFORMAT {link:this:bandwidth_in:%0} OUTBWFORMAT {link:this:bandwidth_out:%d} BWLABELPOS 50 50 TARGET gauge:../../rrd/router_A/sla_jitter-cisco-rttmon-mib-1100020-LMR_IO.rrd:rtt:rtt NODES Chicago Washington BANDWIDTH 34 Now the problem that we have is that when observium server loses connectivity with router_A (i.e. network outage, check below) It will generate a new ID for the link to the graphic hence we have to go to the editor and update INFOURL and OVERLIBGRAPH ID values. As shown below the ID is 12961 for SLA 1100020 whereas above the ID configured was 10495. [cid:image002.jpg@01D6075C.16B03280] [cid:image006.jpg@01D6075C.16B03280] This becomes very annoying as we cannot maintain a fully working IPSLA map and we're not sure why it's constantly generating new ids. [cid:image007.jpg@01D6075C.16B03280] Hope there is a way to force this ID not to change and remain static no matter what happens as the device ID never changes.

Traffic Comparison widget wrong after moving interfaces between routers
by Darrell Budic 03 Apr '20

03 Apr '20

Folk, I recently added some new routers and then moved interfaces from the old to the new. The transit and peering graphs picked up the new interfaces just fine, but the Traffic Comparison widget on the front page hasn’t. Any ideas on getting it to update? Observium pro 20.3.10324 (stable). I’ve tried deleting and re-adding the widget, and it’s had a discovery run since the change. Thanks, -Darrell

Alerting switch stack status
by Eric W. Bates 02 Apr '20

02 Apr '20

I want to alert whenever one switch in a stack drops out. And I need help composing a checker. Specifically, I have stacks of cisco 2960-X switches linked via flex stack modules such that they appear as a single switch for purposes of ping'ing or snmp. On occasion, one switch in the stack will fail, but the rest of the stack stays on-line and continues to respond to pings, etc. I believe I want to watch the Status entity: Stack is redundant CISCO-STACKWISE-MIB::cswRingRedundant.0 https://mibs.observium.org/mib/CISCO-STACKWISE-MIB/#cswRingRedundant Each stacking module has two cables and one runs cables such that all the switches are in a big loop. cswRingRedundant is a boolean that indicates that such a loop is intact. So it will be False if a switch dies or simply if a cable is unplugged (also a desirable alert). If the switch is a standalone with no stacking modules installed, you get: "No Such Object available on this agent at this OID" I've created a Status entry: <?xml version="1.0"?> <templates> <template type="alert" description="Autogenerated observium template" version="0.91" created="Wed, 01 Apr 2020 11:51:32 -0400" observium="20.2.10302" id="fbe29724e648671f6e2095e9425d7515"> <entity_type>status</entity_type> <name>2960_stack_loop_redundancy</name> <message>Stack loop redundancy has failed (might be a missing stack switch)</message> <severity>crit</severity> <suppress_recovery>0</suppress_recovery> <delay>0</delay> <conditions_and>1</conditions_and> <conditions>status_name == Stack is redundant</conditions> <conditions>status_event == warn</conditions> <conditions_complex>status_name == Stack is redundant AND status_event == warn</conditions_complex> </template> </templates> It doesn't appear to be working (I have one switch with a cable unplugged it should alert on). Do I just have to wait 5 minutes? Or does it read the status from the database? Is that the correct "status_name?" I copied it from the Health --> Status page "Description" column. Should it be quoted? The export XML doesn't include the associations, but I included: device.hardware regexp /.*WS-C2960X-.*/ I don't really know what the value of "device.hardware" might be, but I'm assuming it's the same as the field labeled "Vendor/Hardware" shown on the front page for a given switch? Thanks for your time. -- Clark 159a, MS 46 508/289-3112 -- Clark 159a, MS 46 508/289-3112

Port group and aggregated graphs
by Daniel Johansson 01 Apr '20

01 Apr '20

Hi I added a port group to be able to have an aggregated graph but the graph does not seems to aggregate the ports usage in one graph. See the attached pictures as reference. Site1 have 137Mbit in and 160Mbit out and a spike at over 200Mbit Site2 have 38Mbit in and 80 out and a spike at over 140Mbit The aggregated graph does not show much more than a bit over 100Mbit both in and out in total and with the spike it should show around 340Mbit What has caused this irregularity to happen and should it be like this? ---- Regards Daniel

Re: [Observium] Dynamic Network Map
by Chris Wopat 28 Mar '20

28 Mar '20

This does exist, go to <your_url>/map.php Its use varies greatly on the number of devices you have. It uses `dot` from `graphviz` which you must have installed and configured in config.php ($config['dot']) Also each port shows LLDP neighbors if you go to /neighbors/, and there should be a sub-tab of an interface called 'Map' to show you 1 level of connections. Also, please share your php7 changes for weathermap to that project, we did similar a few years ago but Im not sure if they actually got committed. > > From: Richard Wigzell [mailto:richard.wigzell@it.ox.ac.uk] > Sent: Friday, March 27, 2020 10:21 AM > To: Methe, Mike <mmethe(a)brattlebororetreat.org>; 'Observium' <observium(a)observium.org> > Subject: RE: Dynamic Network Map > > Yes, we already make extensive use of the php-weathermap plugin with some code modifications to better support php7. > > What we are looking for is something that will dynamically draw a network relationship map using XDP data, with the ability to limit the scope to a defined set of devices. > > Weathermap is good for showing network utilization of infrastructure networks (well understood, defined use and good documentation) but not so useful for our ad-hoc or campus stuff (so yeah we don't know what this switch in this cupboard is for but if it goes off this breaks etc). >

Dynamic Network Map
by Richard Wigzell 27 Mar '20

27 Mar '20

Hello, This is a feature we would find very useful, a dynamic network map that can be confined to a defined group of switches (e.g. from LibreNMS https://docs.librenms.org/Extensions/Network-Map/ ). Is this something Observium can already do? Or something that could be added? We are currently using Observium Enterprise (20.2.10291) and have zero interest in also running LibreNMS (or anything else) but this is feature we would really appreciate. The use case we are trying to address is the new on boarding of campus networks previously run by local IT that now fall under our remit (often with little or very poor or just wrong documentation).

Hi, I am pretty sure it Is very stable. As for the userbase, I don’t know about observium users, asterisk is heavily used “under the hood” I think it would be GREATLY appreciated buy customers such as myself. PLEEAAASE!!!!!!

Hi, I’m not sure if we actually have any collection for that. How reliable/stable is it? I seem to recall we have an asterisk agent app that uses the CLI tools to collect data? You can use the custom oid stuff, but it’s a pain/impossible if there are indexed tables. How widespread is asterisk use amongst the userbase these days? Adam.

Hi, I just set up my AM for snmp and it looks like Observium is treating it as a generic Linux server [cid:image001.png@01D5FDD2.69720FE0] They have mibs etc (attached), can you please add them for better support? Thanks Tony

SVN Updates don't appear to be working
by Chris Macneill 18 Mar '20

18 Mar '20

Hi, Some weeks ago I updated successfully to v10304, but since then any time since that when I do an "svn update", it says successfully updated, but no files are downloaded and the version shown on the webpage remains at v10304. I understood that the daily updates were copied to the Stable Branch weekly, but this doesn't appear to be the case currently??? I'm interested in getting a fix that was made in v10306, but can't get it and when I looked at changing our SVN update source to the daily update branch, Adam advised against this. Regards Chris Macneill

by Svensson Fredrik A 18 Mar '20

18 Mar '20

Hello there! In these times where you might want to now how many users are using VPN to your cisco-device the information is available through custom OID. I hope someone else will find this useful, but my question is thresholds, can you set that up somewhere? Like 0-750, and is it possible to do an alert is we have a Value over 500?

I was able to get this working and it is a really great tip Btw, Josh, I used .29.0 for L2L tunnels and am getting the right numbers… I used http://www.mibdepot.com/cgi-bin/getmib3.cgi?i=1&n=CISCO-REMOTE-ACCESS-MONIT… to research. I think .26 is all IPSEC connections, that would include client to site IPSEC as well as site to site. If you use .29.0, you get only L2L connections. thanks Tony From: Josh Benner<mailto:joshb@aweber.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 17, 2020 2:19 PM To: Observium<mailto:observium@observium.org> Cc: Tony Guadagno<mailto:tonyg@guadagno.org> Subject: Re: [Observium] Custom OID , thresholds, VPN Users I added this to ours.
