Mariadb Errors such as the one below are filling up db.log to the tune of 10GB per day. There's plenty of disk space. Any suggestions on how to correct this?

Geolocation is broken?
by Tommy Nevtelen 29 Jan '19

29 Jan '19

Hi When I clear geolocation for a device openstreetmap shows not found and it places it to the default in the middle of the Atlantic. Now for some reason all our stuff is being placed there. This also means that most devices are in Unknown in the Devices-> Location menu. But if I take the API request and clean it up, remove *** and amp; stuff it gives the correct answer, see the second screenshot. The url requested for this is: https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?format=json&accept-language=en&a… Running the latest pro version from trunk but had the issue before, just upgraded to see if it would go away. /T

Hi, We have the Professional Subscription running on Ubunto 16.4.1 64 bit version. I am trying to upgrade from v9662 to 9684. I can't find any errors in the logs.

svn update issue
by John Dicks 25 Jan '19

25 Jan '19

Hi all. I have an issue running svn update. My system details below. What happens is I get 'GET request returned unexpected delta base' or less commonly a checksum mismatch'. I then revert to my saved snapshot of the VM and start again. Each time it fails at a different part. We are 588 rev's behind so I attempted to svn update -r 9217 which I believe is only one version ahead of where we are. Hoping that with fewer committed changes it would make it through. Same error though. Does anyone have any thing for me to try. I have not seen anyone else online with this issue? Thanks a LOT!

Observium Enterprise
by Joelly, Alexander 24 Jan '19

24 Jan '19

Hello, Our company is split into two major regions (EU & NA) where we have a central datacenter in each region, all sites in the particular region is connected to it's regional datacenter and the two datacenters are red. connected together. As I understand with the enterprise version multiple pollers can be deployed within the topology to scale vertically where in our scenario we would place them in our datacenters as everything is reachable from there (DC and WAN equippement on remote sites). How would we monitor both regions? Our concern is that the latency between the datacenters (~120ms) could cause some issues and might slow in response if the gui,rrd and mysql servers are hosted in one region. Can the rrd and mysql servers deployed redundant - one node in EU and the second in NA and also each region a local gui instance? Or is it possible to run a separate instance in each region and have a common gui with visibility of all devices? We possibly might also monitor the LAN equipment of the sites in the future - that might add a couple of thousands devices per region (no real numbers known yet) We have a network team and service desk in each region, where we have about 1.500 datacenter and WAN devices in each region to monitor in the first step - we are calculating to have around 30 people from each region using the gui daily. Does someone have such a setup? We setup the CE for testing and we would go ahead using it globally, but not sure how the setup should/would like for that and we haven't found anything in that direction... Thanks, Alex

Alert Checker not picking up newly added switches

Observium, I had to do a manual rebuild of Alert Checkers to add new devices. These devices are newly added in the last 6 months.

Alert message in event log

Hi team, I am running Observium Professional 18.10.9472. An alert check has been created for monitoring high CPU. The Default Notifier (email) works fine, but there is no alert message in the Observium event log. In Device Property -> Alert Settings, I have the option to choose "Disable alerts -Don't send alert emails (but write to eventlog)". When enabled and threshold is reached, there is no alert message in the event log either. How can event logging for alarms be enabled ? Thanks for advice.

Disabling redundancy/stack metrics for standalone Cisco switch
by Peter Watts 18 Jan '19

18 Jan '19

Hello, I have commissioned a few new Cisco 3650 switches (WS-C3650-24TD-L) which are stacking-capable, but I have them running standalone. They're on IOS XE 16.6.5 and Observium is detecting/reporting the redundancy attributes for these switches but because they're not stacked, I'm getting an alert for 'nonRedundant'. cRFCfgRedundancyOperMode = 1 Is there a way I can force Observium to ignore the redundancy metrics for these switches? I tried disabling CISCO-RF-MIB on the device but it still persists and when I run './poller.php -h my3650switch -m status' I see the redundancy attributes coming through (assumed I shouldn't? not sure).

Hi all, any Idea how that could be? We're using two Cisco 3850 (WS-C3850-24S-E) and VRF lite. On each discovery VRF information are deleted from observium.

I can see the difference between a) /opt/observium/discovery.php -h hostname b) /opt/observium/discovery.php -h switch-vwd-sp1 -m cisco-vrf In the first case no VRFs are shown under module cisco-vrf in the second case they are.

logging failed discoverd devices
by Reisner Martin 10 Jan '19

10 Jan '19

Hi! If i run "./discovery.php -h all" at the shell observium will find new devices. Observium try to access the device with snmpV3, snmpV2 and snmpV1. If Observium can access the device it will be added to Observium and show up in the GUI. If Observium failed to access the Device it would not show up in the GUI and i don't even know, that there was a device found. Is there a way to log dicovered but failed Devices? Maybe with the failed message, Hostname and IP-Address? Or a notification in the gui like "found 3 new devices but could not access the devices. [click more for details]" would be nice. :) Thank you in advanced! Kind regards Martin

old 3rd-party script, need help
by Adam Thompson 09 Jan '19

09 Jan '19

I’m attempting to use a ~4yr-old script that uses data Observium stores in the MySQL database, but the Observium schema has changed since then. First, the script attempts to use the “links” table, which is now called “neighbors” – this is an easy fix. Secondly, it uses the “ports-state” table, which was removed last may in updates/341.sql, with the matching SVN comments of “Remove bgpPeers-state and bgpPeers_cbgp-state” which doesn’t mean much to me. Is the functionality of the “ports-state” table gone, and I should remove the corresponding functionality from this other script, or has it been refactored into something else, in which case I’ll need to refactor my script just as much? (FYI: I’m trying to use https://github.com/kedare/observium_map_generator) Thanks, -Adam Adam Thompson Consultant, Infrastructure Services [Description: sig] 100 - 135 Innovation Drive Winnipeg, MB, R3T 6A8 (204) 977-6824 or 1-800-430-6404 (MB only) athompson(a)merlin.mb.ca<mailto:athompson@merlin.mb.ca> www.merlin.mb.ca<http://www.merlin.mb.ca/>

Syslog notifications
by Simon Mousey Smith 09 Jan '19

09 Jan '19

Hi All Im not sure if this is me being thick or simply how its designed I have devices sending observium syslogs and all is good… I have setup an some syslog rules and they work fine as I can see the alerts in the syslog alerts I have then assigned the syslog rules to the contacts, but strangely enough im only getting the syslog alerts every 5 minutes when the poller is run Is this designed this way or have I mis configured something somewhere ? Its also annoying because I can get 4 notifications at a 5 min interval, 1 to say port down, 1 port up, 1 port down, 1 port up, etc… I would like them to be instant notifications when observium receives the syslog Regards Simon - Hestor

multiple authentication mechanisms at the same time for observium?

Was thinking something of a lookup process to check to see if a user is local first and if they don't exist then continue down to the next authentication mechanism. Steve

$config['frontpage']['order'] no longer taken into account ?
by Thibault Richard 08 Jan '19

Hello, Since my recent update to the latest stable version (19.1.9661) I've noticed the variable $config['frontpage']['order'] defined into /opt/observium/includes/defaults.inc.php is no longer taken into account. Actually it displays what I had defined before but my new changes there are not taken into account. Did I miss something ? Best Regards Thibault

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....

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!

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

Observium not fully updating
by tech＠tempehgirl.com 08 Dec '18

08 Dec '18

I'm running Observium on CentOS 6.10. The PHP version on the machine is currently 7.0.16. When I run the "svn update" command it completes correctly. However, when I run "discovery.php -u", I get the following error: PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in /opt/observium/includes/discovery/functions.inc.php on line 164 I tried with both the stable and current versions, but get the same results. Thank you for any help.

Observium client for windows?
by Connary, Scott 08 Dec '18

08 Dec '18

Observiums biggest weakness is its inability to auto-discover windows. LLDT needs to be integrated into the design. Or being able to piggy back off of Symantec or bigfix for data.

Device status changed to Down due to SNMP timeout
by Ming Wong, CLSA 07 Dec '18

07 Dec '18

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 ?

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..

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
