by Edvinas Kairys 22 Jan '20

22 Jan '20

Hello, our cisco Nexus9000 C9372PX device shows sensors data for only first 20 (of 54 )interfaces. Software BIOS: version 07.34 NXOS: version 7.0(3)I2(1a) this commands shows sensors data for 1-20 interfaces too: https://pastebin.com/KxxZLF57 Is it possible to do something about it ? I need interfaces sensors data like receive/tranceive power. btw. we're using SNMP v3. Thank you.

Alert : Matching "null" value in condition?
by Johann Mallet 16 Jan '20

16 Jan '20

Hello, In alerting, do you have the option to match "null" value? For example, to match/not match the sensor with sensor_limit_warm = null value. My goal it's create alerting with "sensor_value gt @sensor_warn" but excluding when sensor_warm is "null" in database. Because that's create false positives. Thanks! Johann

Thank you Markus!! -=JGR ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sat, 4 Jan 2020 18:47:58 +0100 From: Markus Klock <markus(a)best-practice.se> To: Observium <observium(a)observium.org> Subject: Re: [Observium] observium Digest, Vol 114, Issue 2 Message-ID: <CAF6uZmJMK4rYbFEoay+Hpg=sW-W23uck1biu+NNq4tzfLS2STg(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Hi Justin, The poller needs to finish polling all your devices in 5min(300s) and your system takes 1600s to finish one pollinground. This is because you only run the poller-wrapper with 1 thread, you should run as many threads as twice the amount of CPU-cores on this VM. Try increasing them and wait 10min and then check the poller-wrapper Total time-graph again. /Markus

My sensors were deleted
by Joe Brouillette 10 Jan '20

10 Jan '20

Good morning, I was just trying to check the history on one of my Geist Watchdog environment sensors and I have no environment graphs - temperature, humidity, or dew point. It's the same for all of my Geist devices. I checked the logs and found these entries: 2019-12-05 12:34:10 OS-ServerRoom Dew Point Sensor deleted: dewpoint geist-v4-mib internalDewPoint.1 OS-ServerRoom Dew Point 2019-12-05 12:34:10 OS-ServerRoom Humidity Sensor deleted: humidity geist-v4-mib internalHumidity.1 OS-ServerRoom Humidity 2019-12-05 12:34:10 OS-ServerRoom Temperature Sensor deleted: temperature geist-v4-mib internalTemp.1 OS-ServerRoom Temperature I have Device Availability and Device Uptime graphs but that's it. I ran a discovery on them but after an hour still no enviromental data. I checked a couple of the devices and the information is there. Any ideas on what's going on and how to fix it?

FDQN is email notices

I am using an FDQN for Observium. When I get an email notification, it looks like: How can I get the URL in the email to use the FDQN? Note that the 10.14.1.76 is the internal IP of our instance. We do a NAT to an outside IP with a DNS record. So I’d like the URL to be http://observium.mydomain.com Thanks, -Robert

LXC monitoring via SNMP
by cody＠mail-server.cc 09 Jan '20

09 Jan '20

I'm monitoring 3 LXC containers of my new installed homelab server but somehow the CPU values polled via SNMP are completely messy while checking inside the container with TOP they are correct there. Attached is a screenshot of one of three fresh installed LXC containers where they are doing nothing yet showing the CPU utilization via SNMP and TOP. Also the physical server does nothing and is showing the correct values via SNMP and TOP. Anyone know how to fix that? thx, cody

Re: [Observium] Cronjob Problem

The relevant code in poller-wrapper is : def get_config_data(): config_cmd = ['/usr/bin/env', 'php', '%s/config_to_json.php' % ob_install_dir] try: proc = subprocess.Popen(config_cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stdin=subprocess.PIPE) except: print("ERROR: Could not execute: %s" % config_cmd) sys.exit(2) return proc.communicate()[0].decode('utf-8') # decode required in python3 try: config = json.loads(get_config_data()) except: print("ERROR: Could not load or parse observium configuration, are PATHs correct?") sys.exit(2) The error is referring to json.loads being unable to parse the output from config_to_json.php. So either config_to_json.php isn’t outputting the config, or it’s not parseable, perhaps it has PHP errors in it. Adam.

Gaps in Graphs

Hello, periodically I have "gaps" in my graphs which appears to be when Observium was unable to reach a particular host. This problem occurs on multiple hosts at the same time on different network segments and I have been unable to find any commonality except for the Observium server itself. I noticed that the gaps in the graph also exist at the same times for Observium's checks of localhost. Checking localhost of course demonstrates this is not a lack of network connectivity outside of the server. At these times I also found these entries but I'm not sure if they are related since they are merely syslog messages but thought I'd mention it: Jan 1 21:39:24 voldemort rsyslogd-2177: imuxsock begins to drop messages from pid 27161 due to rate-limiting Jan 1 21:45:50 voldemort rsyslogd-2177: imuxsock lost 22 messages from pid 27161 due to rate-limiting root@observium(~) :ps auxw | grep 27161 root 27161 0.0 0.0 200848 6520 ?

RSSI graphs

If I want to see Receive Power, Link Capacity, Transmit Power, etc., I can use this URL: http://10.14.4.76/p2pradios/view=graphs/ But I get all of the devices. I don't see a way to apply filters. Getting here from the Web page, I select Ports/P2P Radios. For Access points, all of their clients show up. In my case, I am seeing 700 devices on a single page. How can I apply a filter? Thanks, -Robert

Memory stats not showing on Juniper MX204s

Hi all, We've just swapped out some Juniper MX80's for MX204s: https://www.juniper.net/us/en/products-services/routing/mx-series/mx204/ and we are running Juniper JunOS 18.2R1.9 ([MX204] Internet Router). We didn't add a new device, but Observium picked it up OK as it has the same details. But I've now noticed memory usage has gone. Any tips? -- Kind Regards, Gavin Henry. http://www.surevoip.co.uk

not getting cpu cores and network interfaces
by cody＠mail-server.cc 13 Dec '19

13 Dec '19

Hi, I have some servers where i only get one cpu graph instead the cores listed where the Temperatur sensors showing 12 cores - there are two six-core Intel Xeon X5675 cpu's inside. Also i do not get any network interfaces fetched: ##### Module Start: ports ##### o Caching OIDs ifDescr ifAlias ifName ifType ifOperStatus o Caching DB 0 ports o Discovering ports o Duration 30.2533s There are two onboard 1G and two onboard 10G nic's and a additional dual-port 1G nic card inside. Also the inventory option does not show up. SNMP is configured the same as on all the other servers, running Debian 10 on them. I have two other Servers with Debian 7 and Intel Xeon X3360 showing all the cores, nic's and inventory. Thanks, Cody

High CPU alarm
by Daniel Johansson 12 Dec '19

12 Dec '19

Hi I have a synology nas with 1CPU and 4 cores in it. Whenever 1 core gets a shitload to do I get a CPU high alarm although it's not the combined cpu load that is high. Is there something I can do in the alarm checker to combine the cpu loads of all cores and trigger an alarm when all 4 combined is over for example 80% load? Regards Daniel

Is there any way to adjust the thresholds of alerts in observium? I have a few alerts that don´t seem to be an actual alert, a couple of them seem to almost be bad readings. Screenshot below. These are from HP 2920 Switches.

I want to setup the AWS instance and run it in parallel with the on premise instance for some time to make sure that there isn't issues with the new instance. Are we allowed to run the same license on two servers at the same time or is there another way of doing this without me having to buy another license just for this purpose. Thanks, Dinuka Jayamaha

I am continuing to have issues with this config.php

I have Active Directory authentication working but only for whatever group is "last in the list" for $config['auth_ldap_suffix']. I have a username in the OU "OUAdministrators" and another account in OU "ServerAdmin". If I comment out the line $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",ou=OUAdministrators,ou=Users,ou=BCPUS,dc=mw,dc=na,dc=cat,dc=com"; and uncomment out //$config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",ou=ServerAdmin,ou=Users,ou=BCPUS,dc=mw,dc=na,dc=cat,dc=com"; then the account in OUAdministratos no longer can login and the one in ServerAdmin starts working. If I leave them both uncommented, then the one that is last in the list works. Is there a way to have users in two OUs be used to authenticate? $config['auth_ldap_prefix'] = "cn="; $config['auth_ldap_groupbase'] = "ou=HighSecurity,ou=Groups,ou=BCPUS,dc=mw,dc=na,dc=cat,dc=com"; $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",ou=OUAdministrators,ou=Users,ou=BCPUS,dc=mw,dc=na,dc=cat,dc=com"; //$config['auth_ldap_group'] = "cn=BCPUS-Observium_access,ou=HighSecurity,ou=Groups,ou=BCPUS,dc=mw,dc=na,dc=cat,dc=com"; //$config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",ou=ServerAdmin,ou=Users,ou=BCPUS,dc=mw,dc=na,dc=cat,dc=com"; //$config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",ou=StandardSecurity,ou=Users,ou=BCPUS,dc=mw,dc=na,dc=cat,dc=com"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmembertype'] = "fulldn"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmemberattr'] = "member"; unset($config['auth_ldap_groups']); $config['auth_ldap_groups']['cn=BCPUS-Observium_admins,ou=HighSecurity,ou=Groups,ou=BCPUS,dc=mw,dc=na,dc=cat,dc=com']['level'] = 10; $config['auth_ldap_groups']['cn=BCPUS-Observium_access,ou=HighSecurity,ou=Groups,ou=BCPUS,dc=mw,dc=na,dc=cat,dc=com']['level'] = 5; [Telescope Separator] Dana Bostic Technology Specialist Caterpillar Inc. 954 NC 42 East, Clayton, NC 27527 email: bostic_dana_r(a)cat.com<mailto:bostic_dana_r@cat.com> | phone: 919-550-1260 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

Problems with Geolocation and static config of coordinates
by Daniel Johansson 02 Dec '19

02 Dec '19

Hi I have 1 site that does not show on the map even though I have cofigured it with static coordinates both via "Manual coordinates" option on the devices on that location and also tried creating a config line with the syslocation tag to put it on the same coordinates. $config['location_map']['Lulea'] = "65.5861680,22.1594800"; I can't understand why just this site has this problem and none of the other 50+ sites. Any ideas? /Daniel

Alert checkers - thresholds and grouping
by Andreas Kotowicz 29 Nov '19

29 Nov '19

Hi, I’m looking for pointers on how to implement alert checkers with the following requirements: (A) test condition: [ sensor_value greater @sensor_limit ] + buffer - the [ ] part itself works, but I need to add a buffer (offset) for some checks not to throw false positives - I’m aware of the delay option, but this doesn’t help in my case - spelling out something like "sensor_value greater @sensor_limit + 5” doesn’t work for me (B) aggregate / pool over devices -check a number of devices and only alert me if, eg. 5/10 are over specific criteria, e.g.: - check all internal PDU temperatures - if all sensor_value greater X --> alert - I know how to check each device individually: (device.device_id in 82|83|84|85|86|87|88|89|90|91|92|93|94|95|96|97|98|99 AND sensor.sensor_descr regexp internal) - how do I convert this into a “if true for all devices” statement? Lastly, I’m looking for documentation and examples on how to invoke scripts from alert checkers. The documentation appears to be quite sparse [1] in this regard. I’m especially interested on how to extract / grab additional data from observium (ie from other devices) if specify test conditions fail. cheers, Andreas [1] https://docs.observium.org/alerting_transports/

request: graph number of event/alert logs
by Henrik Aarfeldt 28 Nov '19

28 Nov '19

Hi, In the event/alert log, we have a list of all events/alerts (systemwide, on a single unit, group etc) Would be nice to visualize the count in a single graph. Then we can quickly spot the date/time, when a lot of events/alerts happened. Maybe it’s already there, but I just haven’t located it 😊 -- Best regards Henrik Aarfeldt Region Hovedstaden Center for IT, Medico & Telefoni (CIMT) 2100 København Ø

Is it possible to trigger alarm from eventlog text?
by Daniel Johansson 21 Nov '19

21 Nov '19

Hi I get this in the eventlog for 2 switches and I'm wondering if it's possible to create an alarm depending on what the text in the eventlog says: Te2/0/1 Interface Down: [ifOperStatus] 'up' -> 'down' Te2/0/1 Interface is no longer encrypted In this case I want to trigger an alarm when the text "Interface is no longer encrypted" comes and do a reset of the same alarm when the text "Interface is now encrypted" comes. Is this possible to do with the alarm system in Observium today or is it something that could be implemented? Not sure I can see in snmp if an interface is encrypted or not. I haven't seen anything when I have looked for it. We use macsec in this case. Regards Daniel

Custom OID´s
by Florez, Luis 17 Nov '19

17 Nov '19

Hi everyone, I have a big doubt with de Custom OID feature in Observium, I have recently installed the CE and work fine but in my network exist a satelital node with Hughes Technology, like virtual IPGWs, CDSCP, DNCC and other proprietary devices. My question is, can I add these devices for monitoring with the feature Custom OID in the subscription edition? I already have de MIBS from the vendor, but my boss want to be sure that paying the subscription we will be able to monitorize the node. I don't have too much experience with SNMP that's why I'm asking for your help. On other tools like PRTG or OpManager I was able to monitorized the node, but since Observium is too much affordable for our company and I really have a preference for the Observium web GUI. I would like to do this on Observium. Thanks in advance.

Juniper SRX3000/4000/5000 Session Graphs
by Milton Ngan 12 Nov '19

12 Nov '19

It looks like the SRX sessions graphs are kind of broken with the higher end SRX's that have multiple SPUs/FPCs. I saw there was a JIRA bug (OBS-2101<https://jira.observium.org/browse/OBS-2101>) opened a long time ago that observed the same issue. The way these are being graphs right now is via the generic graph module. But the logic to graph this correctly needs something a bit more custom. The code needs to iterate through all the available SPU's/FPC's, potentially on both nodes if it is a cluster, and graph all of the values. Each SPU/FPC has its own set of limits as well. I was wondering why some of my SRX's worked and some didn't. It turns out those that do not have an SPU in FPC 0 will fail to return any results. And those that do have an CPU in FPC 0 might be returning partial results because the other SPU's/FPC's are not being graphed. I have attached debug polls from an SRX4200 that works, and an SRX3600 that doesn't. The SRX4200 starts at FPC0, but the SRX3600 starts at FPC7, so the default index of 0 doesn't work here. Even if the code took the first item in the array, it would still be wrong because it needs to also consider FPC11 and FPC12, not to mention the corresponding FPC's on the second node of the cluster (indexes 33, 37 and 38).

unix apps (10162)

Hello all, on a given debian machine the apache app doesn’t work; there are several tenths of similar servers here, and they’re showing apache infos without issues. The setup has been done like the others. Other apps on the same machine are fine (mysql and postfix), but no apache. Server-status is correct, readable even via links in localhost, and mod-status is enabled. Only seen issue is that, in the /usr/lib/observium_agent/scripts-enabled folder, an empty “Config” file appears just after observium_agent run. Any hint? Thanks and greets. Luca

RRD folder space problem
by Edvinas Kairys 07 Nov '19

07 Nov '19

Hello, I noticed that Observium started to use up lots of storage space. From ~200Gb it started to use ~400Gbs. Found interested thing, that one device RRD folder tooks ~200GBs instead of ~4-5Gbs. I'm always running housekeeping scripts in cron: # Run housekeeping script daily for syslog, eventlog and alert log 13 5 * * * root /opt/observium/housekeeping.php -ysel >> /dev/null 2>&1 # Run housekeeping script daily for rrds, ports, orphaned entries in the database and performance data 47 4 * * * root /opt/observium/housekeeping.php -yrptib >> /dev/null 2>&1 But seems it doesnt help, and housekeeping log doesn't show errors. Could someone advice how to clear that files in RRD folder according to housekeeping settings which are here: infra [root@observ001prvitx logs]# cat /opt/observium/includes/defaults.inc.php | grep housekeep $config['housekeeping']['syslog']['age'] = '1M'; // Maximum age of syslog entries; 0 to disable $config['housekeeping']['eventlog']['age'] = '3M'; // Maximum age of event log entries; 0 to disable $config['housekeeping']['alertlog']['age'] = '3M'; // Maximum age of alert log entries; 0 to disable $config['housekeeping']['authlog']['age'] = '6M'; // Maximum age of authlog entries; 0 to disable $config['housekeeping']['inventory']['age'] = '1M'; // Maximum age of deleted inventory entries; 0 to disable $config['housekeeping']['deleted_ports']['age'] = '1M'; // Maximum age of deleted ports before automatically purging; 0 to disable $config['housekeeping']['rrd']['age'] = '2M'; // Maximum age of unused rrd files before automatically purging; 0 to disable $config['housekeeping']['rrd']['invalid'] = TRUE; // Delete .rrd files that are not valid RRD files (eg created with a full disk) afaik M = month ?

Dear Observium Experts, Am new to Observium, we have requirement to setup Observium in HA using DRDB, Pacemaker/Heartbeat & Corosync. #DRBD for block level replication, in our case this will be /opt/observium mount point. # Pacemaker/Heartbeat & Corosync main used for virtual IP switch over and auto mount of /opt/observium if primary nodes fails. VM Configurations OS : Ubuntu 18.04 64bit vCPU : 6 vRAM : 16Gb OS Disk : 40Gb DRBD disk : 350Gb ( for /opt/observium ) Is the HA setup prescribed or using single VM is enough. Basically we want to avoid single point of failure when we implement observium in production. Suggestion from experts users are welcome and thanks in advance for your valuable time. *Thanks & Regards* *Mohammed Suhail | System Engineer* *Tel : (415) 349-2100, Extn- 2139* PGP Fingerprint : 026B 6CEB CC08 152D 9372 0F51 DDFB 6758 6924 FBCC [image: cid:image016.png@01D321AA.4A00A6F0]

Mailer configuration
by Ray Poorman 25 Oct '19

25 Oct '19

Hello all, I have tried repeatedly configuring the mailer agent with limited success. The PHP “email” fails to send via hosts as the from address is not working, it ends up sending as root(a)observium.cstreet.local even if I set the from address. When I set it to use postfix/sendmail from localhost I can get emails to send, and the from address is correct, but then it uses an old hostname “devnew65” as the dns name, which gets it rejected. I have been able to get a couple through our local mail server but the outside gets rejected. I have tried using authentication and it just doesn’t work and is rejected before authentication even takes place due to it’s source ip / dns. Any advice? The debug doesn’t show the actual mailing process or the php command or I would just write a quick php script to test it.

Alert transports do not work any more
by Marco Spicuglia 22 Oct '19

22 Oct '19

Hey Guys, I had a fully functional Observium Enterprise installation up to last week, but no alerts are sent out any more today. The alerts log says my alert has been sent out, but this is not the case. If I check the postfix queue, the email related to that alert is stuck in the queue, as it's trying to send the message to who@where, which is obviously not correct. The contacts are still fine though, 4 in total. Our Telegram group also did not receive any message, which has nothing to do with email. I believe something broke in the transport system. Could anyone help to understand what is going on? It definitely did work before. Thanks in advance for your help. Regards, Marco

Alert checkers triggering on down/0 speed interfaces
by Ryan, Spencer 22 Oct '19

22 Oct '19

Since updating to 10134 we've seen some odd behavior out of our high interface utilization alerts. The alert itself is very simple, device matches *, entity is ifType equals ethernetCsmacd, and the test conditions are any of: ifInOctets_perc ge 80 ifOutOctets_perc ge 80 Which has worked fine forever. Now it's throwing alarms on an odd mix of devices (UBNT, Palo Alto, Arista, Kemp VLM, Infoblox) for ports that are down/down loopbacks or HA interfaces not connected. All of the ports it is alarming on show this in the data (Speed 0, and down/down): ifSpeed=>0 ifHighSpeed=>0 ifOperStatus=>down ifAdminStatus=>down Any idea what changed or why it's alarming on these now? I'm guessing its trying to do the 80% math on....0 but I'd imagine that shouldn't even run if the port is admin+operationally down. This is a mgmt interface on an arista (which is unconnected and admin down): https://pastebin.com/JsNvre40 As you can see the *_perc calcs are 0, it almost seems some kind of divide by 0 error.

Too many ports on a windows workstation
by Gianpaolo Racca 20 Oct '19

20 Oct '19

Hi everybody, I searched the docs for some hints about my problem but I didn't find anything. I'm very new to observium. I installed it in a docker container on a linux nas and I'm very happy with it. The main concern is that on a windows workstation (a nuc box) I have a LOT of interfaces listed: a lot of ethernet, a lot of tunnel interfaces. The other machines I monitor which are linux (computer or raspberry) don't show the same behaviour. Can you please point me in the right direction? Thanks and have a nice day, Gianpaolo

Hi, I spent some time figuring out why I got randomly logged out from the webpage and submitted a patch to https://jira.observium.org/browse/OBS-3132 Basically it was the session_regenerate_id() call that caused it, so I adopted the https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-regenerate-id.php suggested way. Well it works for me, try it out if you have the same issue. /niklas

Failure in notification of syslog alerts of the Ob server itself
by Shekhar Basnet 17 Oct '19

17 Oct '19

Hello, Observium is setup to email syslog alerts and it is doing so without any issues of all devices. I have a requirement to email some log alerts of the Observium server to the network team. I did the usual stuff of adding syslog rule and associating with a contact address. The logs (/var/log/messages) are matched by this syslog rule. I can see those matched lines in the Ob GUI. Yet strangely, an email is never triggered. Initially I thought it could be due to the log message and so I tried matching some other log lines, but always the log messages are matched by the syslog rule but email is never triggered. The contact address gets emails of all other alerts. Is there some other settings to enable Observium to email logs of it's own? Am running rsyslog and postfix on the Ob server. [root@observium sbasnet]# rsyslogd -v rsyslogd 8.24.0-34.el7, compiled with: PLATFORM: x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu PLATFORM (lsb_release -d): FEATURE_REGEXP: Yes GSSAPI Kerberos 5 support: Yes FEATURE_DEBUG (debug build, slow code): No 32bit Atomic operations supported: Yes 64bit Atomic operations supported: Yes memory allocator: system default Runtime Instrumentation (slow code): No uuid support: Yes Number of Bits in RainerScript integers: 64 [root@observium sbasnet]# postconf mail_version mail_version = 2.10.1 *Observium CE* 19.8.10000 (22nd August 2019) *OS* Linux 3.10.0-862.11.6.el7.x86_64 [amd64] (CentOS 7) *Apache* 2.4.6 (CentOS) OpenSSL/1.0.2k-fips mod_fcgid/2.3.9 PHP/5.6.40 mod_perl/2.0.10 Perl/v5.16.3 *PHP* 5.6.40 (OPcache: ENABLED) *Python* 2.7.5 *MySQL* 5.5.60-MariaDB (extension: mysqli 5.5.60-MariaDB) *SNMP* NET-SNMP 5.7.2 *RRDtool* 1.4.8 *Fping* 3.10 (IPv4 only) Thanks for help.

Kohler generator issue

Hi, a while ago you added support for the Kohler Generators. (thanks). I am noticing some issues. 1. The generator is listed as in “alarm status” all the time, no matter whats going on with the generator 2. When the generator goes under load, the observium state does not change to reflect that. I have attached 2 screen shots to illustrate as well as a txt file with the corresponding snmpwalk outputs. Also, Kohler has updated the mib, I have attached that as well, can you update the code base with this? thanks Tony

Tiny diff (adding probes)
by Aaron Finney 15 Oct '19

15 Oct '19

Hello maintainer friends, I'm not sure the proper protocol to request merging of small added bits, but I added two additional nprobe plugins, check_haproxy and check_ldap, to my install. The diff for probes.inc.php is below, but it also required a small modification to the check_ldap perl script (update hard-coded module dir). The LDAP probe I used is the version in the nagios-probe-contrib package Debian package, not the compiled C version distributed via the plugins tarfile from nagios.org; I used it because the contrib/perl version allows anonymous binding for just a basic service health check and doesn't require user/pwd/base-DN.

Strange poller/graph behavior with Palo Alto

Heya Adam et al, I'm trying to help the corp side of the house monitor a handful of Palo Alto firewalls (3220s/850s) using Observium, and am seeing the gptunnels and sessions graphs being alternately added/deleted each run. Example: ##### firewall.spaghetti.foo.baz [55] completed poller modules at > 2019-10-13 09:07:03 ##### > o Graphs [checked] availability, ping, ping_snmp, uptime, fanspeed, > temperature, processor, mempool, storage, bits, hr_users, poller_perf, > pollersnmp_count,pollersnmp_times, > pollersnmp_errors_count, pollersnmp_errors_times, pollerdb_count, > pollerdb_times,pollermemory_perf > o Graphs [added] panos_sessions, panos_gptunnels > o Poller time 5.6106 seconds > o Updated Data uptime, last_polled, last_polled_timetaken, > device_state and the very next run: ##### firewall.spaghetti.foo.baz [55] completed poller modules at > 2019-10-13 09:07:31 ##### > o Graphs [deleted] panos_sessions, panos_gptunnels > o Graphs [checked] availability, ping, ping_snmp, uptime, fanspeed, > temperature, processor, mempool, storage, bits, hr_users, poller_perf, > pollersnmp_count,pollersnmp_times, > pollersnmp_errors_count, pollersnmp_errors_times, pollerdb_count, > pollerdb_times,pollermemory_perf > o Poller time 5.6037 seconds > o Updated Data uptime, last_polled, last_polled_timetaken, > device_state This pattern repeats ad inifitum - any ideas?

Alerting on custom application values

I know the values are being received by Observium. But its not clear to me what the entity, or even the entity type, would be. Thanks! Regards, Phil Weller

Changing graph colours to improve readability
by Chris Tomkins 11 Oct '19

11 Oct '19

Hi, I sent this to the list last week but I'm 99% sure it bounced. Apologies if anyone has already seen it. ---- I'm just wondering, has anyone dabbled with getting rrdtool to use more contrasting colours for composite graphs? We have some graphs, such as peering graphs, that are made up of 15+ components, and each component is currently a nearly identical shade of green or purple, which means that even with the legend enabled it is very difficult to see which component is which. I'm imagining that instead of using shades of green, you could use a rainbow of very distinctly different colours and readability would improve. I'm interested to hear whether anyone has tried to do this before, or if it's a non-starter for some reason.

Saving changes to a large number of sensors
by Robert Williams 07 Oct '19

07 Oct '19

Hi, It seems that on a couple of Cisco ASR9k devices (with exceptionally large counts of sensors) we are now unable to save changes to them. Specifically, setting custom values and enabling or disabling alerts for individual sensors. Now, I remember that during Observium setup (a _long_ time ago) there was a step for amending either PHP or MySQL to allow a very long POST or query or something, which is required when you update a page with hundreds of boxes and buttons on it. I’m assuming either these devices have grown to the point where this setting is no longer adequately large, or perhaps the setting on the server has been inadvertently changed. Either way – I literally cannot remember (or find) the damn setting anywhere. Can someone remind me what it is please? Thanks! Robert Williams Custodian Data Centres https://www.CustodianDC.com

Reset interface graph after upgrade the router
by Laszlo Nemeth 03 Oct '19

03 Oct '19

Hello, I upgraded our Cisco ASR router, and after the upgrade all of ports graphs cleared, so at this moment i have 4 interfaces with 2 days old graphs. I think port ID or something similar things are changed. So now i have 4 files that not touched in the last 2 days: port-19.rrd port-20.rrd port-21.rrd port-3.rrd I think this is the 4 missed graphs. The question is: how can i figure out which rrd means witch interface? From the database or somehow? If i can pair the old rrd and the new rrd i can merge them i think but at this moment i missed the traffic graphs in the last 3 years :) Thanks Laszlo -- László Németh Senior Network Engineer [emarsys]<http://www.emarsys.com/> Emarsys-Technologies Kft Kossuth Lajos utca 7-9.

I'm imagining that instead of using shades of green, you could use a rainbow of very distinctly different colours and readability would improve. I'm interested to hear whether anyone has tried to do this before, or if it's a non-starter for some reason.

I was able to run my svn update before, but cannot anymore.
by Dana Bostic 27 Sep '19

27 Sep '19

I am looking for suggestions. When I run: svn co http://svn.observium.org/svn/observium/branches/stable observium it just sits there. I am behind a proxy and was able to do two updates in the past, but cannot anymore for some reason. I have verified my settings for the proxy (in ~/.subversion/servers). I would believe that was the issue, but they have not changed since a few months ago when I last updated. I thought it might be authentication issues, so I went to http://svn.observium.org/svn/observium/branches/stable and can use my username and password to get in, works fine. I have removed all authentication (from /root/.subversion/auth) and put in my username and password again at the prompt, still it just sits there. Any suggetions?

I found this MIB on the Observium MIB list, I noticed it was not part of my Observium install. Is there a way to make a part of it? I have some voice routers that I want to monitor. https://mibs.observium.org/mib/CISCO-POP-MGMT-MIB/ -- *Confidentiality Notice:* This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
