Blank Dashboards
by Andrew Lemin 07 Jan '19

07 Jan '19

Hi. Has anyone else experienced the same issue where after the Observium upgrade (9657) the new dashboard is showing empty transit and peering traffic graphs? Before the upgrade they were showing the traffic data fine, but on the new dashboard based front page, the graphs are empty? I’ve cleared browser cache etc and waited for a while. I have also tried adding a new graph, which involves browsing to the aggregate transit graph and click add to widget etc. But that only creates a mini graph (which does show). The nice front page graphs for Transit, Peering, and Transit and Peering are just white :( [image1.jpeg] The Gap the graph below was from the upgrade maintenance as I also upgraded the distribution with apt upgrade etc. Everything else seems ok Thanks, Andy.

Default Micrograph size?
by Shawn L 07 Jan '19

07 Jan '19

Pre-upgrade (to 19.1.9661) we were able to set a default micrograph size in config.php ie: $config['frontpage']['micrograph_settings']['width'] = 250; $config['frontpage']['micrograph_settings']['height'] = 100; Post upgrade, that value doesn't seem to be used anymore. Is there a way to set the default size of the micro graphs in the config? I know I can use the GUI to edit each individual graph, but I'd like to be able to just do it once and have them all the same size. Unless I'm missing something....

Hello, I've just updated to the latest stable version. Thanks ! I've just noticed a weird thing. As you can see on this screenshot, the bar displaying the version number is hiding the bottom of the front page (at the right of the screenshot, aside 70,4 Mbps, you can see the top of a graphic hidden by the version bar) I've tested with different browser Not a big deal but at you least you are now aware Best Regards Thibault

Best procedure to delete device without losing graphs
by Klimek, Denis 03 Jan '19

03 Jan '19

Hi, is there any best procedure known to keep graphs data for a "Aggregated Graph" build with filters? (Port groups) Example: We have a Port Group called "Transit" which includes all ports labeled as Transit upstreams. Now we replaced the whole router which had a transit upstream. The new router does have it aswell. Now we want to keep the existing data for the Port Group Graph for historical reason, but we also want to delete the device in the database to keep Observium database clean. Currently we also have duplicate IP addresses for the configured IP addresses... on the old device and on the new one. I think if we delete the device we will lose the port label information which is important to build the port groups with the filters. Can someone advise something?

I used same kind of conf in antoher apache vhost, and it works fine. I also tried to find a good debug mode to help me with that, but nothing Is in the logs. I tried "url/debug", "url/debug=yes", I can only see "CACHE DISABLED. Disabled in config", but I don't see any message about failed authentication (after I entered my credentials, nothing happens, I come back to log in page) I also tried what is in this page ( https://docs.observium.org/config_options/#debugging-profiling-settings), but nothing happens in any log file. how can I enabled debug mode to help me with this authentication issue? In my win2k8 AD, the directory tree is as follow: Administrative (at the root) --> "Domain users" (where all the "human" users are) --> "Groups" (where all the groups are) --> "ServiceAccounts" (where the binddn user is) Here is the conf I have : $config['auth_mechanism'] = "ldap"; $config['auth_ldap_binddn'] = "cn=DNrequest,ou=ServiceAccounts,ou=Administrative,dc=example,dc=com"; $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'] = "example.com"; $config['auth_ldap_port'] = 389; $config['auth_ldap_starttls'] = FALSE; $config['auth_ldap_prefix'] = "CN="; $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",OU=Domain users,OU=Administrative,DC=example,DC=com"; $config['auth_ldap_group'] = array("CN=NE.Access,OU=Groups,OU=Administrative,DC=example,DC=com"); $config['auth_ldap_groupbase'] = "OU=Groups,OU=Administrative,DC=example,DC=com"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmembertype'] = "fulldn"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmemberattr'] = "member"; unset($config['auth_ldap_groups']); $config['auth_ldap_groups']['CN=NE.Access,OU=Groups,OU=Administrative,DC=example,DC=com']['level'] = 10; Thanks a lot in advance for you help!

Increase polling interval to 10 minutes?

I have a few Cisco Nexus switches with over 1k ports/interfaces. Since it takes quite some time for them to finish polling, is there any way we can increase the polling interval from default 5 minutes to say 10 minutes? Can we just increase the interval for these few devices, or we have to increase it for all? Any pointer or documents showing how it can be done? I'm a bit new to Observium. Thanks. - Gordon

Possible pseudowire bug - Backup PSW's classed as DOWN/ALERT, results in broken PW alerting
by Andrew Lemin 14 Dec '18

14 Dec '18

Hi List, Just a quick one to check that I do not need to configure something extra for this to work? We have lots of Pseudowire's configured using IOS-XR, IOS-XE and IOS, and these all show in Observium with the pwID, and the Local and Remote details (so Observium is correctly matching the stanzas across the two endpoints as being the same service) which is awesome :) However when configuring 'Backup' Pseudowire, the standby/backup Pseudowire is shown as 'Down' and 'Alert' in Observium? This is really confusing for support staff who do not understand if down/alert means something is wrong or not, and as such we are currently unable to monitor any pseudowire and have all alerts disabled for them :( The attached image shows an example, of how all the PWs to the secondary device are reported as down and in an alert state! They are all down but in the normal state as standby/backup pseudowires. Below shows the output for the PW states, and it can be seen that a status of 'sec' and 'SB' is provided for Standby/Backup (the Pseudowire is explicitly configured with a 'Backup' path etc) pseudowires. BYF-CGW-2#show xconnect all Legend: XC ST=Xconnect State S1=Segment1 State S2=Segment2 State UP=Up DN=Down AD=Admin Down IA=Inactive SB=Standby HS=Hot Standby RV=Recovering NH=No Hardware XC ST Segment 1 S1 Segment 2 S2 ------+---------------------------------+--+---------------------------------+-- UP pri ac Po20.339:339(Eth VLAN) UP mpls <remote-rt-1-ip>:339 UP IA sec ac Po20.339:339(Eth VLAN) UP mpls <remote-rt-2-ip>:339 SB UP pri ac Po20.341:341(Eth VLAN) UP mpls <remote-rt-1-ip>:341 UP IA sec ac Po20.341:341(Eth VLAN) UP mpls <remote-rt-2-ip>:341 SB UP pri ac Po20.348:348(Eth VLAN) UP mpls <remote-rt-1-ip>:348 UP IA sec ac Po20.348:348(Eth VLAN) UP mpls <remote-rt-2-ip>:348 SB So the question I guess is, do the OIDs show the third status of 'SB' (or the 'XC' and 'ST' states of, 'IA' & 'sec' = Standby/Backup etc) so we can have something like; 'UP' = Green (Up), 'SB' = Amber (Up), 'DN' = Red (Down/Alert)? Without this pseudowire alerting and state monitoring is broken :( As always, Thanks for all your time and effort with Observium Kind regards, Andy.

Host Description in Notifications
by Brian Downey 12 Dec '18

12 Dec '18

Hi All, Has anyone else experienced trouble getting the Description field (Host Properties -> Device Settings) to appear in notifications? Looking at the notification templates there is an "ENTITY_DESCRIPTION" field, but it doesn't seem to get used in our installation; i.e. the alerts simply show "Entity" and then "Condition" skipping it entirely. The descriptions are filled in and show in the Observium interface. As a shot in the dark I tried to customize the template per the README in the template directory & experimented with "DEVICE_DESCRIPTION", but also no bueno. -Brian

Dear Observium, I am running the professional edition of Observium. Due to snmp timeout, some devices are considered to be "down" intermittently. I have tried to tweak the snmp timeout but it still happen. My question is: can I use ping only, and ignore snmp timeout to detect device up/down ?

Dear Everybody, we have a couple of foundry switches (with only a single power supply) in use and with the "newest" version, we see an alarm under statuses. Is it possible to ignore / disable the health check for e.g. the 2nd power supply? BR, Patrick

Hey Guys, More a feature request (?) than anything else but I have noticed that the alert checkers background changes to match the state for "normal" OIDs but for custom OIDs it stays grey ? [image: Screen Shot 2018-12-04 at 10.04.22 AM.png] Thanks, Pieter

Missing customers
by Eric W. Bates 26 Nov '18

26 Nov '18

I've labeled a number of our ports as "Cust: somebody", but not all appear on the Port --> Customers page. All the "Cust" labeled ports are on a pair of Junipers and most of them work, but a few are skipped (4 out of 11 are skipped). With debug enabled on the poller, I can see the 'ifalias' containing the Cust string: ifAlias.519 = Cust: WHRC I can also see various other OID's for interface ID 519: ifDescr.519 = ge-1/0/3 ifType.519 = ethernetCsmacd ifOperStatus.519 = up ifName.519 = ge-1/0/3 etc.. Running version 18.10.9472 (stable) thanks for your time. -- Clark 159a, MS 46 508/289-3112

Change Custom Locations for All Entities
by Josh Williams 26 Nov '18

26 Nov '18

Hello Everyone, I need to change the custom location string of every device. Does anyone know of an easier way of doing this, other than through the web GUI? I tried changing to location column under the device_locations table but that doesn't work. My assumption is that I would just make changes somewhere in the Observium database but I can't seem to find where the custom location data is stored. Any Ideas?

Hi Guys, After updated to the last version, I have a issue when I do a port seach using a Normal Account. In older versions i could seach for an interface port description but not now.

A general questions on apps vs sniped extend ?
by Jonas Karlsson 22 Nov '18

22 Nov '18

Hi, I am new to observium and I am trying to learn the "system". Last week I developed a "app" that shows some status. The client side was super simple but it was somewhat cumbersome on the serverside (find all files to update and definitions etc). This week I tried to use snmpd extend to display the same information. This was super simple both on the client and on the server side (adda custom oid) and it works with alerts! My question is therefore in what circumstances are the "apps" useful? At least for my simple example I did not find any benefits of apps over using snmpd extend and a custom OID. Specially as configuring an app is more cumbersome (on the server side). -- Jonas Karlsson Senior Research Engineer Karlstad University SE-651 88 Karlstad, Sweden 📞 +46 54 700 15 64 📞 +46 70 672 06 20 💬 karlsson.karl.jonas 🗝 0x88765911B284F3A6

Alerting on Custom OID
by Pieter De Wit 14 Nov '18

14 Nov '18

Hi Guys, I am trying to build an alert for a value of a custom oid but I seem to be missing something - blame lack of coffee/sleep etc :) The OID is .1.3.6.1.4.1.13400.3.4.4041.1.1.2.1 and I would like to alert when it's below 300. I have created an Alert checker that has a test condition of the following: .1.3.6.1.4.1.13400.3.4.4041.1.1.2.1 lt 300 This doesn't appear to work as it always "OK" the alert even thou the value is +-230. I have even tried "AC Input 1 Voltage" lt 300 without luck. The name comes from the oid_name field in the oids table. How do you create an alert for a custom oid and how do I know what I can alert on, using a custom oid ? *Kind Regards,* *Pieter De Wit*

We use dskTable to fill in invalid data in hrStorageTable sometimes, but we don't outright collect data from dskTable. I seem to recall this is an issue with ZFS too, and switching to a later version of net-snmp fixes it. There are sadly no 5.8 (or even 5.7) packages for EL6 though (not that I could find!), so you would have to create one. Nothing really depends upon net-snmp, so no real risk in breaking anything! Once upon a time I had 5.6 packages for EL6 floating around from an old requirement, but I seem to have lost them. adam.

Intentionally adding a duplicate device
by Jason Lixfeld 09 Nov '18

09 Nov '18

Hello, Previously I was able to add a duplicate entry for a device. At the time, it seemed like the easiest way to work around IOS-XR not being able to pull BGP session information inside a VRF from the default snmp context. Creating a separate SNMP context on the box for the VRF(s) in question, with a different community for each would let the duplicate entries poll the BGP session info from within whatever VRF that context included. Now, when I try to add a duplicate it fails due to pre-existing sysName, snmpEngineID and entPhysicalSerialNum. Is there a way to add duplicates anymore, or perhaps a different way to collect BGP session info from within VRF (in addition to the global table)? Thanks in advance.

Missing Ports
by Tim Schmidt 09 Nov '18

09 Nov '18

I've got a Peplink Balance 310 that I've put into Observium. It reads the device and picks up processor, memory, etc. For the ports though, it is only picking up 2 wan ports and one lan port. There are another 3 lan ports that it is not picking up. Peplink is a newer product for me so I'm not sure if I'm missing something or what. I'm guessing it's something to do with the EtherLike-MIB that is being used. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Tim Schmidt

BGP Prefix Count Graphs

06 Nov '18

Hi, It's only occasional that we use these particular graphs, so I can't say when it stopped working unfortunately :( As far as I can see, every 'Prefix Count' graphs is broken / non-existent for every platform we have (IOS + IOS-XR). <server>/routing/protocol=bgp/view=graphs/graph=prefixes_ipv4unicast/ [cid:image002.png@01D4751F.0680B040] However, all the 'Update Counters' graphs are OK, for exactly the same neighbours: [cid:image004.jpg@01D4751F.0680B040] A quick check of the RRDs in the device folders shows that anything starting with "cbgp-" appears to contain the neighbour and address-family, rather than a 'numeric' name: [cid:image007.png@01D4751E.6EAFF140] So maybe it should be looking at those? Rather than cbgp-3176.rrd for example? We have recently completed a round of IOS-XR upgrades so I'm not entirely confident this is caused by an issue on the Observium side to be honest!

I'm building a new box to replace my ancient Observium server. I'm most comfortable with CentOS, but most of the help docs I've seen appear to be geared toward Ubuntu. Is there a great reason to go Ubuntu over CentOS? Or is there another distro that is better for Observium? I stayed away from Ubuntu because I didn't care for the GUI, but I realized I have probably spent less than a hour per year in the GUI of that machine.

Sensor issues since approx November 1st
by Anthony Somerset 02 Nov '18

02 Nov '18

Hi There I’m running a test bed of observium at home seperately of our main installation - i had previously written a very basic observium agent module that polls current power usage for a home monitoring sensor and outputs it, and then a custom polling module that reads this data and basically graphs it as a power sensor under a device (https://gist.github.com/anthonysomerset/3860b7a3b650d8bbbf53faac2d5eeab5 <https://gist.github.com/anthonysomerset/3860b7a3b650d8bbbf53faac2d5eeab5>) the unix-agent is working same as before but since i updated overnight on 1st november the graph has disappeared and my event log is filled up with sensor added events: also under the device itself the sensor is saying deleted around 5 days ago (2018-10-27 00:01:04) this looks like immediately after it updated on that day (looks like last commit on that day was 9517) any thoughts on how i need to fix?

Observium Syslog issues
by David Rossi 01 Nov '18

01 Nov '18

I have an installation of Observium that has been up and running perfectly for about 18 months. Last Friday I ran updates and now syslog is no longer working. I have found that prior to the upgrade, rsyslog was version 7, now I am at Version 8. In searching I found that a few configuration file changes, I did those, and still a no go. Has anyone else come across this? I am a novice at Linux, and totally at a loss here. I can do a tcpdump and sure enough the syslog messages are hitting the server, but not displayed within Observium. Any help would be appreciated, but, please keep in mind I am a Centos novice. Dave Rossi.

New Device AKCP SensorProbe2Plus
by Stefan.Immel＠stroeher.de 31 Oct '18

31 Oct '18

We startet to use a SensorProbe2 Plus from AKCP but unfortunatly it is not yet supported by observium. Anybody out there who uses it too and has it implemented? If not, I'm looking for ways to integrate it but unfortunatly I cannot find the right files to do that. Where are the definitions that contain the mappings from sysObjectID to the right OS and MIBS?

Support for Dell Storage (Compellent)
by Thomas Stather 31 Oct '18

31 Oct '18

Hi I am using the professional edition of Observium and was wondering, if it supports Dell storage arrays. I am particularly interested in the Dell Compellent series as i have 2 of them in production. I have the official Dell MIBS ()MIB2014.01.29) and im willing to help if not implemented. Thanks in advance :) Best, Thomas -- Thomas Stather IT Services VCP4, VCP6-DCV, VCP6.5-DCV Tel: +49 6221-486 628 Fax: +49 6221-486 561 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Max Planck Institute for Medical Research (MPImF) Jahnstrasse 29, 69120 Heidelberg Germany

Re: [Observium] Performance Issue - High CPU with 'mysqld'?
by Gordon Cheng (gocheng) 31 Oct '18

31 Oct '18

Thanks all. Yes, it's a new set up and a lot of new devices were added about 4 weeks ago. An update here. We just have the number of Cores increased from 4 to 16, and looks like there has been improvement in terms of performance now. But there is a new issue observed. Quite frequently (~1 out of 4 times), Observium is responding HTTP response code 500 with blank page when logging in, or when clicking around after login. Any thoughts or suggestions on this? Here are the logs when it happens: /opt/observium/logs/access_log: 171.68.241.12 - - [30/Oct/2018:21:29:53 -0700] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 500 1728 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.13; rv:63.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/63.0" /opt/observium/logs/error_log: [Tue Oct 30 21:29:54.329931 2018] [:error] [pid 21511] [client 171.68.241.12:54771] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 135168 bytes) in /opt/observium/includes/db/mysqli.inc.php on line 316 [cid:image001.png@01D47099.AD6D0FA0] Thanks. - Gordon From: observium <observium-bounces(a)observium.org> on behalf of Mike Stupalov via observium <observium(a)observium.org> Reply-To: Observium <observium(a)observium.org> Date: Sunday, October 28, 2018 at 4:09 AM To: Observium <observium(a)observium.org> Cc: Mike Stupalov <mike(a)observium.org> Subject: Re: [Observium] Performance Issue - High CPU with 'mysqld'? Simon Mousey Smith via observium wrote on 27/10/2018 23:55: Hi Gordon I think from what I can see from the pics, the 3rd graph along, bottom row It looks like about 3-4 weeks ago its JUMPED UP in the wrapper processing times which means its taking too long to execute on each device or the main server As I see, 4 weeks ago added many new devices. It's not should be big trouble, but seems as need more optimizations, like: - use rrdcached - switch to SSD disks for such number of devices - RRDs and DB must use faster disks, SSD is mandatory for you. Did you change any configs then? Any updates to hardware, software, etc? Have u also tried the latest stable ? 9472 Have u also tried doing /opt/observium/poller.php -h gz-core01 -dd to see where it might be getting stuck?

Hi, You probably (definitely) need more cores and/or more I/O throughput capacity. It's likely that you have multiple overlapping poller_wrapper processes running because they can't finish quickly enough. what do the graphs on this page look like? http://dev.observium.org/pollerlog/ and what are the slowest devices on this : http://dev.observium.org/pollerlog/view=devices/ You may be able to disable a module or two you don't care about that's taking time : http://dev.observium.org/pollerlog/view=modules/ fdb-table is usually a good candidate. adam.
