Unix-agent added to linux storage box but observium excludes it
by Cody Cook 09 May '19

09 May '19

[image: image.png] The unix-agent is excluded for this device but it runs and responds to unix-agent when using telnet. I have tried to manually discover and poll the unix-agent module with their respective php scripts but I still couldn't get any details to happen. Is there an override in the mysql database or an option I can force in config.php to force enable unix-agent at the device level? Thank you, Cody

Houskeeping question
by Joelly, Alexander 07 May '19

07 May '19

Hello, Currently with multiple distributed and partinioned pollers I only have the poller-wrapper.php process in the 5min schedule on the pollers and the discovery and housekeeping on the rrd-cache server. Is that okay or do I need to run the discovery and housekeeping also on the pollers? I'm asking because I have a device deleted, last rrd file was updated on 25. April and housekeeping settings 'RRD File Max Age' & 'Remove Deleted Ports Age' to 7d - and I actually set 'Remove Deleted Ports Age' to 2d but still have the rrd directory of the deleted device. Thought I would set the pollers 'only' for polling and do the discovery and housekeeping on the rrd server (as it's probably more efficient?) or is it not working that way? Thanks, Alex

Adjust rrd step size per device
by Steffen Klemer 06 May '19

06 May '19

Hey list, how much work would it be to have an option to adjust the rrd step size per device? Background is that we have a HP/H3C chassis that even with latest firmware takes average 1000s to poll; with fdb already disabled. 98% of the time is spent in the ports module, polling ifEntry and ifxEntry. We'd really like to at least get an hourly graph of the traffic which is better then nothing. The idea is to put this dev into its own group and have a different cron job for it (excluding this group from the default one). We do have a case with HP that is open for 2 years so the 'tell the vendor that their SNMP engine is crap'-part was already done... lg Steffen -- Steffen Klemer E-Mail: steffen.klemer(a)gwdg.de Tel: +49 551 201 2170 ------------------------------------------------------------------ GWDG - Gesellschaft für wissenschaftliche Datenverarbeitung mbH Göttingen Am Faßberg 11, 37077 Göttingen Service-Hotline: Tel: +49 551 201-1523 E-Mail: support(a)gwdg.de Kontakt: Tel: 0551 201-1510 Fax: 0551 201-2150 E-Mail: gwdg(a)gwdg.de WWW: https://www.gwdg.de ------------------------------------------------------------------ Geschäftsführer: Prof. Dr. Ramin Yahyapour Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Prof. Dr. Christian Griesinger Sitz der Gesellschaft: Göttingen Registergericht: Göttingen, Handelsregister-Nr.

RRDCached issue - HELP!
by Hamilton, Kent 06 May '19

Starting this weekend rrdcached appears to have stopped working correctly. Has anyone seen an issue with this? We've been using it for a long time and it seems to have broken totally early Sat morning (somewhere around 1 to 2 AM) Running the poller with debug doesn't give me a status any more, and I have hundreds of rrdtool processes being spawned to the point it actually took over most of the disk IO on our NAS on Saturday. /opt/observium# poller.php -h localhost -m system -dd | grep RRD RRDtool 1.7.0 Copyright by Tobias Oetiker <tobi(a)oetiker.ch> RRDCacheD 1.7.0 o RRDtool 1.7.0 (rrdcached 1.7.0: unix:/var/run/rrdcached.sock) RRD PIPE OPEN[TRUE] o RRDTool Usage (0s 0%) RRD PIPE CLOSE[TRUE] The host setup is: Ubuntu 18.04 Observium Professional 19.5.9870 PHP Weathermap 0.97b rrdcached 1.7.0-1build1 rrdtool-1.7.0-1build1 PHP 7.2 The rrdcached command line is /usr/bin/rrdcached -B -R -F -L -w 1800 -z 1800 -f 3600 -t 10 -b /opt/observium/rrd -j /var/lib/rrdcached/journal/ -G www-data -U www-data -p /var/run/rrdcached.pid -s www-data -m 0660 -l unix:/var/run/rrdcached.sock Really need to get this one solved if anyone can offer help. ________________________________ This e-mail and any documents accompanying it may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information belonging to Exegy, Inc.

Pollers and RRD files
by Joelly, Alexander 05 May '19

05 May '19

Hi, When using a dedicated rrd caching server - for what is the local /opt/observium/rrd caching folder used for? In our setup we created a dedicated rrd-caching server and several distributed and partitioned pollers and would expect the rrd's are only written/updated on the rrd-caching server and do not need much diskspace on the pollers but it seems the rrd's are also written on the pollers? Is that on purpose (fallback - rrd server unavailable) or what is the need of the rrd's on the pollers when using a rrd-caching server? Thanks, Alex

BGP Neighbor Descriptions
by Richard Savage 02 May '19

02 May '19

Hi We have observium v19.4.9840 (rolling) setup and working great with alerting for BGP sessions going down. For BGP sessions with public AS Numbers this works well as it shows up which AS number and who the AS number is assigned to as gone down: But when its a private AS number with a private IP, its then much harder to distinguish what the BGP neighbor is related to without logging into the router and looking at the neighbor and the neighbor descriptions set against the BGP neighbor: In most routers you can set a description against a BGP neighbor in the config. Is it possible to get this description attached to the BGP neighbor in observium thus then adding it to the alert when the BGP neighbor goes down? This is the config on a Cisco ASR9K for the above neighbor: router bgp 65000 neighbor 100.127.18.181 description USG1-GREE Could this description be pulled and added to the neighbor and thus alert? More than happy to provide some debug if required and any SNMP data that might be helpful. Many Thanks Richard

Auto Discovery
by Adam R. Koczarski 02 May '19

Hello, I’m new to this group and to Observium. A friend turned me on to it a few weeks ago. I have Observium 19.3.9774 running on Ubuntu 18.04.2LTS. Everything is working great! I’ve added my switches and LLDP and SNMP data is flowing in and all of the cross-references have been established. My question pertains to adding new devices. I can successfully add new devices via the GUI or the CLI as described in the documentation. My friend was telling me he <thinks> devices can be detected and added to the device list automatically via some sort of discovery?? Is this a thing or is he pulling my leg?

new alert checks?
by Tony Guadagno 02 May '19

02 May '19

Hi, I am currently using the current ce version (Observium CE 18.9.9420). After upgrading from the previous ce version, i see the alert checks have completely changed. the alert checks i had still seem to function, but when I try to modify them, the fields are all different....I am getting the impression that there is an alert conversion script? I have looked for docs on how to use the new alert checks but cannot find any. Can you please point me to a page that explains how to use the new alert checks and how to fix the upgraded alert checks. thanks! Tony

Voltage/Current Sensor anomalies on Cisco SG200/SF300 switches
by Serge Caron 01 May '19

01 May '19

Greetings! I have a number of SF300-24P (802.3af), SF300-24PP (802.3at), SF300-48P, and SG200-26P Cisco switches, all at firmware revision 1.4.8.6 (There is a newer firmware 1.4.10.06 published 4 days ago: I will install this only if required). The voltage/current sensors are constantly complaining that they are either under/over threshold. For example, below are the logs on a port drawing 3500 mW for a Ubiquiti Unifi access point model UAP-AC-M: voltage range from 0V (!) to 92V for a device that should draw 37 to 57 V PoE levels. I have 29 of these devices scattered over the network and I can rule out simple malfunction of any/all devices. More intriguing is the 0.0975A current "threshold" used to issue these warnings: it does not make sense if Watts are still the product of Volts by Ampps ;-). Is it possible that the MiB for these devices is out of whack? I recently updated my Observium CE to 18.9.9420 (5th September 2018) but this issue has been annoying me for quite some time. Please note that I have similar results for all kinds of IP cameras : however, I do not have issues for ports that are connected to Cisco SG200-08 PoE switches and for which the only warnings I get is when the output voltage suddenly drops to zero. Unfortunately, these devices do not support SNMP.

apcupsd UPS monitoring
by Nagy Attila 27 Apr '19

27 Apr '19

Hi All, we have a few Linux servers which are fed through APC Smart UPSs. Rather small ones, so no network management card, they are being monitored by apcupsd. We would be very happy to see the/some values of the UPSs in Observium. What I've done: I extended snmpd with a script from https://github.com/jirutka/apcupsd-snmp which makes some values from apcupsd available under |.1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1| which in turn belongs to PowerNet-MIB (aka APC). I can read those values with snmpwalk (see p.s.) so the script works. Observium already contains PowerNet-MIB, but no graph for these values are appearing. I suppose Observium does not query for PowerNet-MIB for anything other than APC OS, or maybe it looks for some other conditions as well? My question: is there a way to make Observium query and use these values for other OS's (like Linux) as well ? Regards, Tylla Ps: please feel free to correct any bad assumption/statement I made! Ps: here is my current output (MIB errors excluded) from snmpwalk in case it helps: snmpwalk -m ALL -v 2c -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1 PowerNet-MIB::upsBasicIdentModel.0 = STRING: "Smart-UPS 750" PowerNet-MIB::upsBasicIdentName.0 = STRING: "test" PowerNet-MIB::upsAdvIdentFirmwareRevision.0 = STRING: "COM 02.1 / UPS.05.I" PowerNet-MIB::upsAdvIdentSerialNumber.0 = STRING: "AS1108112010" PowerNet-MIB::upsBasicBatteryTimeOnBattery.0 = Timeticks: (0) 0:00:00.00 PowerNet-MIB::upsAdvBatteryCapacity.0 = Gauge32: 100 PowerNet-MIB::upsAdvBatteryRunTimeRemaining.0 = Timeticks: (144000) 0:24:00.00 PowerNet-MIB::upsAdvBatteryNominalVoltage.0 = INTEGER: 24 PowerNet-MIB::upsAdvBatteryActualVoltage.0 = INTEGER: 27 PowerNet-MIB::upsBasicOutputStatus.0 = INTEGER: onLine(2) PowerNet-MIB::upsAdvConfigAlarm.0 = INTEGER: never(3) PowerNet-MIB::upsAdvConfigLowBatteryRunTime.0 = Timeticks: (30000) 0:05:00.00

Migrated from 16.04 to 18.04 and rrd stopped writing?
by Simon Mousey Smith 24 Apr '19

24 Apr '19

Hi All Im trying to find out if I have done something wrong or maybe missed something? I have done a migrate from ubuntu 16.04 to ubuntu 18.04 and now ALL of my RRDs have stopped being written? 1. mysqldump to backup, scp file to new server, then mysql to restore 2. Scp the whole rrd folder from old server to new server 3. Scp the old config.php to new server Only thing I have done differently is use the setup script instead of manually installing observium On the new server the rrd folder shows drwxrwsr-x 60 observium www-data 4.0K Apr 24 16:29 rrd But the old server shows it as drwxr-xr-x 60 www-data www-data 12K Apr 24 15:57 rrd One of the folders inside rrd show this drwxr-xr-x 2 root www-data 4096 Apr 24 15:58 localhost And an rrd file shows this -rw-r--r-- 1 root www-data 115K Apr 24 15:58 perf-poller.rrd Did I overwrite the folder permissions by accident?

seems i got something broken with geolocation
by Joelly, Alexander 18 Apr '19

18 Apr '19

during setup of distribution and partitioned poller, autodiscovery and mapquest I obviously did something wrong and messed up the geolocation feature - newly added devices are all only added to the default location. /opt/observium/logs/db.log on all pollers gets filled with: [2019/04/18 20:57:44 +0000] discovery.php(17511): Failed dbQuery (#1054 - Unknown column 'devices.location_id' in 'where clause'), Query: SELECT `device_id` FROM `devices` WHERE ( `devices`.`location_id` = '9') Thanks, Alex

Hello, On the Dashboard in the Alerts Status widget the mouseover popups for the 'Failed Tests' (small blue icon with the 'I') is not working - when going to the Alerts page it's working there. In the global settings the mouseover popups is enabled. Is that a known or already fixed issue or something on my side not set properly? r9774 Thanks, Alex

alerts in latest community version
by Tony Guadagno 17 Apr '19

17 Apr '19

Hi, I am currently using the current ce version (Observium CE 18.9.9420). After upgrading, i see the alerts have completely changed. the alerts i had still seem to function, but when I try to modify them, the fields are all different....I am getting the impression that there is an alert conversion script? I have looked for docs on how to use the new alerts but cannot find any. Can you please point me to a page that explains how to use the new alerts and how to fix the upgraded alerts. thanks!

No RAM graphs are displayed for network devices
by Vladimir R 16 Apr '19

16 Apr '19

Hello. I have observium version 19.3.9791. Apparently, earlier it was possible to monitor the amount of occupied RAM on network devices. In the application there is a screenshot which shows that there were such graph on the device. On new devices there are no such graphs. How can I fix this? Perhaps there is not enough parameter in the configuration? -- The best regards! Vladimir R.

I have an Observium question - I am looking to create an alert for Palo Alto Networks firewall's session count, ideally one that fires when the session percentage goes above 85%.

The MIB contains references such as: panSessionUtilization OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX Integer32 MAX-ACCESS read-only STATUS current DESCRIPTION "Session table utilization percentage.

RRD, Interfaces & docker
by Eduardo Costa 11 Apr '19

11 Apr '19

Hi all, This is my first post, and I'm a not so newbie user of Observium. If my question has been answered, or if its now correct, please advise. We're using Observium latest community edition as below: [cid:image001.png@01D4EFC3.4368A660] Situation: where monitoring a lot of virtual servers in a VMware environment, and we use docker in a lot of those vm's. What's happens is, as usual in docker, a lot of network devices are created, and observium correctly detects those ports. However in a small period of time they're gone, however Observium keep track of them, and keep the RRD files. In a specific case, we've got : [cid:image002.png@01D4EFC3.4368A660] Result... RRD for this server as... 200G! Anyone has had this problem? I was thinking about using the config['bad_if'][] with something similar of veth*, but I think is not possible. [cid:image003.png@01D4EFC3.899F0BB0] Any advice would be quite helpful!

Hi, Did the Cat6k Fabric Load Statistics get removed (all supervisors and chassis sizes)? Just gone to look for something and found it no longer there, can't say 'when' it might have gone I'm afraid as it's not something commonly looked at by us. Not sure which MIB it would have been in either, but now it's not there I can't work out how to check where it used to be, of course :) Cheers!

Detected Entity Types - How to Find
by Adam Ward 04 Apr '19

04 Apr '19

Team, The most difficult part of alert checker creation is finding all the detected entity types to alert for. I noticed for Linux, there’s a special entity type for average CPU, but I cannot figure out how to see what’s available? I see this on the entity page, but how do I know what that entity is named? Special Situations¶<https://docs.observium.org/entities/#special-situations_1> On UNIX/Linux systems we generate a special "Average" processor entity by calculating the average cpu load for all processors. Use this for alerting on UNIX/Linux.

Low dbm sensor alerts for shutdown interfaces
by Andrew Lemin 31 Mar '19

31 Mar '19

Hi, Has anyone else seen the issue where after enabling an alert checker for transceiver optics with sensor_value greater @sensor_limit and sensor_value less @sensor_limit_low, alerts are still received for shutdown interfaces? For example, on a cisco switch when running ‘show interfaces transceiver detail’, we can see; Optical High Alarm High Warn Low Warn Low Alarm Receive Power Threshold Threshold Threshold Threshold Port (dBm) (dBm) (dBm) (dBm) (dBm) Te1/1/25 -40.0 1.9 -1.0 -9.9 -13.9 Te2/1/1 -40.0 1.9 -1.0 -9.9 -13.9 Etc.. Te1/1/25 admin down down Te2/1/1 admin down down Etc The sensors page shows the correct thresholds etc, but shows the interface in Red (and hence is generating alerts through the checker), rather than grey (as the port is shutdown and has no fibre connected – hence -40dbm.). [cid:image001.png@01D4E0C6.4F698990] The same port on the Ports page does show the interface as being grey/shutdown [cid:image002.png@01D4E0C6.4F698990] Have no idea how to resolve this and stop getting transceiver alerts for shutdown interfaces? This sounds like a potential bug? Thanks, Andy.

Currently I have scripts that return the installed packages, ioping, vmwaretools, and working on a few others (IIS, MSSQL, Exchange). I have yet to started looking at the Observium side of things other than glancing at includes/polling/unix_agent.inc.php and a few of the scripts in includes/polling/unix_agent/*.

Andrew- I noticed this too, it was like if the SFP was inserted, it’d still throw an error because the transceiver tx/rx limits were technically still out of spec. There needs to be logic to check for the interface status first, then disable the thresholds/alerts if down.

Services checking?
by Adam Ward 26 Mar '19

26 Mar '19

Hello, I see the service discovery options and enabled the “services” module. I am not seeing any services on the device like it shows on your site’s screenshots. I’m an enterprise customer. Please let me know if there’s something I am missing, or if there’s more documentation around this functionality. I really need to do basic HTTP checks. I see there was some support at one time using nagious-esque plugins, but I can’t seem to find any references to the code of the actual services checks? I saw it only works for device type “server” but, even on the local OBS, the services module doesn’t really do anything. I desperately need this functionality: http://www.observium.org/images/ss-dev-linux-2x.png I see the queries in the debug logging for the web UI device page, but since the services table doesn’t have any discovered services, I can’t see anything. SELECT COUNT(service_id) FROM `services` WHERE `device_id` = '1' SELECT COUNT(service_id) FROM `services` WHERE `device_id` = '1' AND `service_status` = '1' AND `service_ignore` ='0' SELECT COUNT(service_id) FROM `services` WHERE `device_id` = '1' AND `service_status` = '0' AND `service_ignore` = '0' SELECT COUNT(service_id) FROM `services` WHERE `device_id` = '1' AND `service_ignore` = '1' Here’s the snippet of the debug output for the discovery phase: ##### Module Start: services ##### Services: CMD[/usr/bin/snmpbulkwalk -v2c -c 'MHikJ8dloru_flZ' -Pu -Osqn -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp 'udp':'localhost':'161' .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2] CMD EXITCODE[0] CMD RUNTIME[0.0045s] STDOUT[ .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.34345 34345 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.36227 36227 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.42326 42326 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.44522 44522 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.45104 45104 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.45205 45205 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.46519 46519 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.48629 48629 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.48831 48831 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.50874 50874 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.52511 52511 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.53048 53048 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.54029 54029 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.54891 54891 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.57027 57027 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.58503 58503 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.60052 60052 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.10.2.2.70.68 68 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.127.0.0.1.161 161 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.127.0.0.53.53 53 ] SNMP STATUS[TRUE] o Duration 0.0059s Adam Ward Systems Engineer Shamrock Trading Corporation Office Phone/Fax: (913) 310-2247 Email: award(a)rtsfinancial.com<mailto:award@rtsfinancial.com> Website: www.shamrocktradingcorp.com<http://www.shamrocktradingcorp.com/> This e-mail communication (including any attachments) is intended only for use by the individual or entity named above and is considered confidential.

Alerts based on Juniper FW counters
by Jason Lixfeld 25 Mar '19

25 Mar '19

Hello, Using Observium Professional, svn up’d today. For Juniper MX, the Firewall tab graphs firewall filters, policers, etc., however I can’t seem to find a way to create alerts based on any of those values. Am I missing it somewhere or is that not supported? Specifically I’m looking to be alerted when there is a policer violation. Thanks in advance.

Vendor & Hardware Changes in event log
by mal＠platinumnetworks.com.au 25 Mar '19

25 Mar '19

I am constantly seeing updates in the event log telling me that the Vendor and Hardware details have been ‘changed’. It looks like this is happening for all devices even though none of those details have actually changed. I’d like to monitor the event log for things that actually happen 😊. Do I need to change anything to exclude these warnings about non-existent changes? FYI I’m running 19.3.9774 Cheers Mal

How to configure "Entity Association Ruleset" section of Alert checker for Device = * and Entity = *
by Andrew Lemin 22 Mar '19

22 Mar '19

Hi, Some time ago when creating Alert Checkers, the “Device Match” and “Entity Match” fields were freeform logic statements, which allowed you to enter complex logic or just the * wildcard to match all; [cid:image001.png@01D4E0AD.B7B51910] We want to create a new generic Sensor based Alert Checker as per the examples in; https://github.com/mgmoerman/docs/blob/master/observium-alert-checkers.md Alert Entity type Check Conditions Check Conditions boolean Device match Entity match State sensor is in ALERT state! Status status_event = alert status_event = warning ANY * * However, the new Alert Checker section no longer allows freeform “Device Match” and “Entity Match” fields, and instead provides a new “Entity Association Ruleset” section providing a logic builder for the Entity Match (which is very helpful), however we cannot figure out how to encode wildcards/* to match all for the Devices and Entities using the new editor? [cid:image002.png@01D4E0AD.B7B51910] Thanks, Andy.

Limit device information to normal user
by Fiberwide Sysadmins 21 Mar '19

21 Mar '19

Hi all, do You know if there is a way to not show the device info to a normal user? I want to give access to our customer to the statistics graphs of their lines, but i don't want to let the user know on which hardware is this line and the other info like the operative system, uptime, last reboot... Just the graphs of the ports I enabled to that user, nothing more.

Quick Questions
by Adam Ward 21 Mar '19

21 Mar '19

Hey All, I know these questions have probably been asked a lot, but after searching the answers weren’t really clear. Can you please help me build a case to pay for the software? ☺ - Observium seems to support graphing application metrics, but I don't see any entity types for applications to key on in alert checkers. Is there any way to make the metrics available to the alert checkers? (Found a post about this but it was 4 years ago) - Can I use smokeping port checks to cover service checks (i.e. simple TCP connection tests) or can I key (alert) on the smokeping metrics? - If we purchase the full version, which includes custom SNMP OID's, can I also alert on the custom OID data? I have scripts that currently do this with our other monitoring software. - If we purchase enterprise support, will we be able to see a better road map or any other improvements coming down the pipe? Overall, this product will replace all our infra monitoring for devices that it supports, if we can add a little additional functionality, we can probably get rid of more tools here! ☺ Adam Ward Systems Engineer Shamrock Trading Corporation Office Phone/Fax: (913) 310-2247 Email: award(a)rtsfinancial.com<mailto:award@rtsfinancial.com> Website: www.shamrocktradingcorp.com<http://www.shamrocktradingcorp.com/> This e-mail communication (including any attachments) is intended only for use by the individual or entity named above and is considered confidential.

Observium Enterprise
by Joelly, Alexander 20 Mar '19

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

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.

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

Re: [Observium] OBS-2925 - Ping Only Hosts / OBS_SNMP_SKIP flag / snmp_skip attribute
by Colin Stubbs 07 Mar '19

07 Mar '19

I know where you're at... but, 0) No refactoring required - this is part of the point of the patch ( I would not have even attempted this if it wasn't so easy... ) and my long writeup for Mike given he hadn't actually looked at JIRA yet. Uses existing code/architecture - bit flag and device attributes - to mark a device as "don't do any SNMP to this device right now" 1) Observium uses fping... 2) Smokeping is horrible - can provide great value sure, but horrible to use, and again, extra tool. I'm a long way from unfamiliar with it and have both used it many years ago, and considered it for our current environments. Not useful to us. 3) Smokeping is not integrated to Observium if the device is not monitored by SNMP - this is fine when it's just you or a small team of people who understand this and are happy to flick between interfaces and how to work with Smokeping. Not great when you have a larger team and you really just need one interface on a monitor in your operations room that tells everyone everything that's up/down/problematic right now. Particularly not fine when your level 1's can't really login on CLI and edit config files etc. 4) IP SLA's - vendor specific thing. I love them in the right environment. Fantastic tool and capability to have in a network. We have zero Cisco in this situation and don't want to add a device specifically for this. 5) Your description sounds like it's just you in this environment... and if email fails, or you're hit by a bus, no one else knows there's a problem let alone how your alerting solution works and how to maintain it. Also, manual investigation/access to history. By having Observium do the ping we get to leverage the alerting capabilities inherent to it, e.g. email/webhook/PagerDuty/OpsGenie/VictorOps etc etc etc., as well as the webUI for visual alert notification and access to graphs/history. It's actually a simpler and cleaner solution; unless you value seeing the min/max/average/jitter values that IP SLA or Smokeping can help you see. In which case it's not what you need. -Colin Email: cstubbs @ gmail . com On Sun, 3 Mar 2019 at 22:44, Ryan Huff <ryanhuff(a)outlook.com> wrote: > I really do understand this Colin, on a deeper level than you might > imagine ;).

Ignoring Interfaces in Discovery
by Benjamin Moore 07 Mar '19

07 Mar '19

Can someone tell me how to get Observium to NOT ignore interfaces? I'm assuming that it is ignoring them due to the fact that they don't have ifTypes assigned - ##### Module Start: ports ##### o Caching OIDs ifDescr ifAlias ifName ifType ifOperStatus o Caching DB 0 ports o Discovering ports XX VLAN1(12)XXXXXXXX +---------+-----------+-----------+---------+--------+-------------+---------+ | ifIndex | ifDescr | ifName | ifAlias | ifType | Oper Status | Ignored | +---------+-----------+-----------+---------+--------+-------------+---------+ | 9 | WAN2 | WAN2 | ... | | | yes | | 10 | WAN1 | WAN1 | ... | | | yes | | 12 | VLAN1 | VLAN1 | ... | l2vlan | | no | | 25 | LAN4 | LAN4 | ... | | down | yes | | 26 | LAN3 | LAN3 | ... | | down | yes | | 27 | LAN2 | LAN2 | ... | | down | yes | | 28 | LAN1 | LAN1 | ... | | up | yes | | 29 | WAN_PORT1 | WAN_PORT1 | ... | | up | yes | | 30 | WAN_PORT2 | WAN_PORT2 | ... | | down | yes | | 51 | USB1 | USB1 | ... | usb | | yes | | 52 | USB2 | USB2 | ... | usb | | yes | +---------+-----------+-----------+---------+--------+-------------+---------+ LAN1 and WAN PORT 1 are the two interfaces I need to have monitored.

Ping-only devices
by Ryan Huff 03 Mar '19

03 Mar '19

I really do understand this, on a deeper level than might be imagined ;). I have no vested interest either way personally, I’m just offering some unsolicited thoughts... I always looked at the “ping only” topic like asking a 10lbs. (4.5kg or 0.7149 stones) sledge hammer to drive a nail. Sure, it can do it but it’ll probably be messy and ugly because a sledge hammer was never meant to drive nails, and when you use tools in ways they weren’t really designed for, things can get messy. Just use a hammer instead. I have done three things to achieve icmp only monitoring and also stick within the base code (as a developer, I hate mucking with base code or re-inventing wheels when I want to do different things). Icmp-only monitoring to me, always just seemed silly (not in purpose) to try and work into an existing and established application that didn’t already do it. It’s just too easy of a problem to solve otherwise, than to go to the time/expense of refactoring an application IMHO. - I use RTT SLAs to monitor next hop devices (which OBS is fabulous at picking up), assuming the device hopped from is SLA capable and OBS monitored. - I use Fping (Smokeping) integrated with OBS. Using the Smokeping web wrapper makes a great RTT only tool, and you also have the OBS integration for when it makes sense to use on OBS devices. - I have a small (very small) bash script that reads a text file of IP address and launches one thread per device to run continuous pings. Not a very scalable script, but like you, I only need it for a very few limited cases. The script uses sendmail to email me if it can’t reach something. Thanks, Ryan

2nd TRY | Generating alerts with firewall sessions thresholds

Cisco ASA IPSec tunnels
by Johnathon Voegeli 01 Mar '19

01 Mar '19

Hey guys, Does anyone know where to set the “tunnel name” in a Cisco ASA or more rather where Observium gets that info? I have a dozen or so IPSec tunnels built, but Obs calls them all by the outside interface IP I suspect because I am too dense to figure out where its getting the tunnel name field from? [cid:image001.png@01D4D02B.AA8D38E0] The local address and the tunnel name are all the same.

Empty alert log
by Laszlo Nemeth 27 Feb '19

27 Feb '19

Hello I upgraded from 9667 to 9725 and the alert log page is empty. Before the upgrade there were lot of logs, but now it looks like a not fully rendered page.. The syslog alert shows me logs and the bottom of the page the observium logo and the version number. The alert logs doesn't show this bottom line, just give me an FROM and TO field with a Search button and that is all. Can i check anything for the debug? Thanks Laszlo

Hi, I'm having issues with "create new dashboard" function in observium (19.1.9661). When I select it from the menu it redirects me to url https://MYOBSERVIUMURL/dashboard_add/ but the dashboard remains the default one. I don't get how can I create a new one, can someone explain this to me? Thank you Stefano

New webhook integration for alert contacts
by Ryan Huff 26 Feb '19

26 Feb '19

Hey folks, thought I'd share with the community as I recently had a need that I had to build the tool for and thought others might benefit too: https://github.com/ryanthuff/Observium_Webex_Notifier Its a script an OBS webhook contact can post to, and then post those alert details to a Cisco Webex Teams space. The instructions are pretty clear and found in the README.md. I just run the script on-box in the OBS web path (.../html/...) somewhere, then just use that URL for the OBS contact Webhook. I have been using for awhile and it works really well thus far. Thanks, Ryan Huff, CCDP, CCNP Cisco Certified Network and Design Professional

Session lifetime

Hi, I still keep getting logged out even though Global Settings --> Authentication --> Session Lifetime --> 1 Week, Until browser restarts, it doesn't matter. After 30 minutes I get logged out. Kinda frustrating since we can't use Observium at fullest now. Any advice would be welcome with this. We already rebooted the system several times but no help. Kind regards Ricardo Franco Cantero

Contact alert webhook json payload
by Ryan Huff 26 Feb '19

26 Feb '19

What I am looking to do, is when an alert notifies my webhook contact, be able to have it also grab the message_graphs blob (if one exists for the notification), so that my custom coded contact also has the graph that caused the alert, along with the alert details; thinking of jitter and RTT SLAs as the use case... So far I have worked out that the alert makes the post call to the notification queue, and the notification queue posts to the contact webhook. In the JSON payload posted to the contact, I don’t see a way to accurately identify which row I would need to select in the notification queue, to grab the message_graphs blob. There is a alert_table_id, but the message_graphs are in the notifications_queue, and since there isn’t a FK relationship between the two tables, not sure if I could accurately identify the right row in notifications_queue. Anyone ever try something like this and/or have advice? Am I overthinking this and rather than grab the blob, is a way to just remake the graph on the fly using the alert details that are posted to the contact webhook? Thanks for any of your thoughts... -Ryan

NTP MIB Question
by Ryan Huff 25 Feb '19

25 Feb '19

I see OBS has a Cisco NTP MIB.. when I add Cisco devices (like a router for example), that is also running NTP services (ntp server... etc), I don’t see where OBS is showing the information for the device. When I look at the MIBs under device properties, it doesn’t appear to be there, though the MIB is in the /opt/Observium/mib/cisco folder.... Anyone know if there is anything special you have to do to get these MIBs working? Thanks, Ryan Sent from my iPhone

PHP Weathermap security issue.
by Hamilton, Kent 22 Feb '19

22 Feb '19

Has anyone solved the security issue with PHP Weathermap such that it honors observium permissions? Currently if you are using weathermap anyone can reach your maps without a password if they know the standard URL for the weathermaps. This is an issue for us as we allow external access to our observium server, but have to block the weathermaps using .htaccess files. ________________________________ This e-mail and any documents accompanying it may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information belonging to Exegy, Inc.

Alerts Not Sending to Contacts
by Alex 22 Feb '19

22 Feb '19

Good Morning Adam, I recently raised a ticket in jira OBS-2905. I have an instance of Observium running 19.1.9661 and have enabled alerting for a memory check at 70% for one of our hosts. This alert message works as expected on the web interface, the issue is that it is not sending the alert to the contacts (both slack and email). When tested with the test_alert.php script the emails send correctly this leads me to believe that the configuration of the email is not the issue. Do you have any other suggestions as to what I can test to make the alerts send to my contacts correctly when they are naturally generated? Kind Regards, Alex
