ifAlias Description notmatches multiple wildcard issue
by Klimek, Denis 31 Jul '18

31 Jul '18

Hi all, I would like to setup a alert checker which checks configured Ethernet ports if there is a "valid" Observium port description configured. I tried it with following conditions "ifAlias notmatches *:*[*Gbit]*{*}*(*)*:*:" but it's reporting any port as "OK". The "::" got added by us for internal purposes. B: POP102-TBA [20Gbit] {} () ::-> get's reported as "OK" which is correct CERRZ2R_C_X670-> get's reported also as "OK" but this is wrong Attached a screenshot of the complete rule set. Any ideas are welcome how to solve this :) Mit freundlichem Gruß Stadtwerke Norderstedt Denis Klimek Professional Network Engineer IP-Systemtechnik Tel: 040 / 521 04 - 1049 Mobil: 0151 / 652 219 06 dklimek(a)stadtwerke-norderstedt.de<mailto:dklimek@stadtwerke-norderstedt.de> www.stadtwerke-norderstedt.de<http://www.stadtwerke-norderstedt.de/>

Hello, Ive defined several port groups as you can see below : 1° First question I would like to add a condition equivalent to ifOperStatus equals up but this kind of condition doesnt exist in the pre-defined list. Am I missing something ? 2° Second question I would like to use this group in an Alert Checks but in the entity association ruleset, I can use a Device Group but not a Port Group No « Port Group » and if I try to use Device Group I see only groups related to devices Bug of misunderstanding from me ?

QNAP up / down every second poll
by Basile Bluntschli 26 Jul '18

26 Jul '18

Hi All after upgrading a QNAP Device from 4.3.3 to 4.3.4 SNMP works every second poll. Event Log is full with things like: 2018-07-25 12:40:02 nas01 Device status changed to Up 2018-07-25 12:35:08 nas01 Device status changed to Down (snmp) How can I further troubleshoot this? It used to work before for more than a year. Thanks Basile

clearing a "Status Warning and Notification" status on unmonitored object?
by Darrell Budic 25 Jul '18

25 Jul '18

Is there a way to clear the status or data from something I don’t want to monitor anymore? I have a server that I installed bird & bird-snmp on, so observium properly discovered the BGP peers, including a couple of down sessions. Because I don’t want to monitor that on this instance, I went into the hosts settings and disabled the bgp poller and bgp discovery. It no longer updates those statuses, but the down peers are still showing up in the Status Warnings and Notification section on my home page, and the peers are still listed as routing info on the host (out of date now). Hopefully there’s something that can be done besides deleting and re-adding the host to clear those out? Thanks, -Darrell

Syslog suppress
by Luca Sasdelli 25 Jul '18

Hi, I've got an issue by suppressing syslog messages upon content. Even by stating the following rule in config.php $config['syslog']['filter'][] = 'action=pass'; I still see messages with the intended phrase inside: id=firewall time="2018-07-25 12:36:32" fw="xxxxxxxxxx" tz=+0200 startime="2018-07-25 12:36:31" pri=4 confid=01 slotlevel=2 ruleid=53 srcif="Ethernet3" srcifname="prod" ipproto=tcp dstif="Ethernet0" dstifname="wan1" proto=ssl src=xxxxxxxxxxx srcport=32827 srcportname=ephemeral_fw_tcp srcname=xxxxxxxxxxxx srcmac=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx dst=xxxxxxxx dstport=443 dstportname=https dstname=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx dstcontinent="eu" dstcountry="ie" modsrc=xxxxxxxxxxxx modsrcport=32827 ipv=4 action=pass msg="Early ChangeCipherSpec" class=protocol classification=0 alarmid=312 target=dst logtype="alarm" This doesn't apply to every message containing the specified string, only to a few of them. Perhaps a message length issue? Best Luca

Port groups unusable in alerts checks ?
by Thibault Richard 25 Jul '18

25 Jul '18

Hello, Ive defined several port groups as you can see below : 1° First question I would like to add a condition equivalent to ifOperStatus equals up but this kind of condition doesnt exist in the pre-defined list. Am I missing something ? 2° Second question I would like to use this group in an Alert Checks but in the entity association ruleset, I can use a Device Group but not a Port Group No « Port Group » and if I try to use Device Group I see only groups related to devices Bug of misunderstanding from me ?

additional file systems not shown in Observium

Hi I am using Observium (subscribtion edition 18.1.9011) and want to monitor the file-systems of my servers. This works fine, but i have a VM which has additional filesystems (one local and some via NFS), and they don't show up what shows up is: / /boot /var/lib/docker/overlay what doesn't show up (but exists) is: /var/lib/samba/profiles /mnt/nfs/dept1 /mnt/nfs/dept2 VM OS: Debian 8 Version of net-snmp: 5.7.2.1+dfsg-1+deb8u1+b1 I didn't do any changes to the snmpd.conf on the VM rather than SNMPv3 authentication settings.

Re: [Observium] Syslog Integration
by Mike Stupalov 20 Jul '18

20 Jul '18

Hi Brian, you configured syslog daemon complete at same way in Pro as in CE? You use rsyslog daemon? How to debug syslog receiver (for rsyslog): 1. In Global Setting Edit -> Syslog -> Enable Syslog DEBUG 2. Validate that rsyslog daemon have permissions to write into logs dir: $ ls -l /opt/observium | grep logs 2.a Simple is add write permissions for all: $ sudo chmod 777 /opt/observium/logs 3. restart rsyslog: $ sudo service rsyslog restart 4. Now see debug.*.syslog files in logs dir: $ ls /opt/observium/logs/*.syslog When syslog msg from host received, here will added file: debug.<host>.syslog Where <host> is received hostname by rsyslog daemon, in your case this <host> must be complete same as device hostname in observium server. Inside this log files you will see full syslog messages like this: [2018/03/21 17:51:32 +0300] syslog.php(5563): <host>||4||6||6||sshd[9497]:||2018-03-21 17:51:32|| Received disconnect from 221.194.47.239 port 36596:11: [preauth]||sshd Here also <host> entry as first part of message.

Syslog Integration

Hello, Our organization recently upgraded from the Community version to Professional. While using the Community version on Ubuntu 16.04 we found syslog integration worked well and setup was easy following the documentation. After purchasing a subscription, we installed Observium on a new Ubuntu 16.04 machine, but cannot get syslog integration to work. I have configured the target machine to send syslog messages to Observium and, using tcpdump, can confirm the Observium server is receiving messages on the correct port from the target with FQDN. However, the Observium web interface show "no syslog entries." What is the best way to diagnose and fix this problem? Brian Hilmers

Alert checker for high memory usage on Linux
by Paludan, Ulrik 17 Jul '18

17 Jul '18

I'm trying to setup a high memory usage alert on Ubuntu Linux hosts. I'm using type entity mempool_perc in alert test 'mempool_perc greater 90'. However mempool_perc reports all memory used, including cache/buffer memory used by Linux, but still available to be released for applications as necessary. So my alert checker generates false alerts as soon as memory usage including cache/buffer exceeds 90%, which it does quit often on most of my servers. How can I setup a memory alert checker for available physical memory below a certain threshold? Observium online guide states: 'On Unix/Linux systems we generate a special "Physical Memory" memory pool entity by calculating memory usage minus buffer and cache. Use this for alerting on Unix/Linux' But not really sure how to use that entity? Is the entity name 'Physical_Memory', does it return result in bytes, percentage ?

Windows 10 Auto Discovery
by Connary, Scott 17 Jul '18

17 Jul '18

Good day: I am working on getting our windows environment set for auto discovery. It is working for our switches once we enable LLDP and have the correct SNMP setting in place. With Windows 10 I am having no luck in having them auto discovered. I can manually add a windows workstation to Observium via the add feature. When looking at devices in Observium I can see that a switch sees the workstation NIC via LLDP. However it only sees it as a MAC and provides no further information on the system itself. Windows 10: 64Bit Symantec Endpoint Protection AV SNMP Enabled and properly configured. LLDP looks to be on in NIC features. LLTD does not stay on under Windows Services. Thank you, Scott

Alert association including all devices with recent version

Hello The "Entity Association Ruleset" has been recently modified On this screenshot you can see both type ("Memory usage" use the old syntax with "Device & Entity" . while "Device down" use the new syntax) My question is simple . as we are obliged to associate an "Alert check" to devices, how are we supposed to specify "All devices" ? It's indeed no longer possible to specify * I've achieved my goal by specifying "device.ignore notequals 1" but this is not intuitive at all. Is there an easier way to do it ? Best Regards Thibault

Hi, We observed the following behavior with Observium Subscription Edition 18.7.8339. We have a alert checker define on used pourcentage on file systems. Previously, if we add a filesystem to a server, a new entry entry in the alert table associated with this alert checker was created. It seems to be not the case anymore. Note that the new filesystem is reported as found in the event log and that the monitoring part is working perfectly. Regards, Fabrice

Best practice for "Port Down"?
by Eric W. Bates 12 Jul '18

12 Jul '18

I quite like the idea that Observium notes "down" ports; however, in my case, most are false-positive in that they belong to users who power down after hours. Our normal port description for an unallocated port is "NXC" (No Xross Connect) to the "Ignore Ports by ifName/ifDescr" and that has helped. In a perfect world, I want to monitor all ports which interconnect between our switches, and all ports in the Data Center; but ignore everything else. Can I put a negated RegExp in "Ignore ports by ifAlias Regular Expression" instead? Thank you. -- Clark 159a, MS 46 508/289-3112

Hi all, i'm using Observium in our company, we start suffering a problem when we try to show a graph in a defined time frame, the result is like that the time frame selected and the graph are different time frame, for example I select From: 2018-07-10 09:03:5 To: 2018-07-10 10:11:56 but the graph show starting 11:00 ending 12:10 like the attached image, and if I try to select a time-frame ending in this moment, the graph is empty, i suppose because the real time-frame used will end in the future.

No Alert Notification
by David Ross 11 Jul '18

11 Jul '18

I'm attempting to setup an alert notification that would get engaged only if SNMP and ICMP were down, so I've setup a device-down alert that is based upon the below two conditions. device_status_type snmp 0 device_status_type ping 0 I also have "Require all conditions" selected within the Alert Checker Conditions. When SNMP condition is met, Observium does mark the device as down and does not send a notification, as desired. However, when both conditions are met, Observium marks the device as down but does not send a notification. What am I missing? Regards, *David W.

how to avoid false-positives (device down/up), on HPE switches and Aruba APs

Hi Observium: 18.1.9011 (stable, subscribtion) We are monitoring our networking infrastructure with Observium and for a long time, i am seeing some false-positives. The poller period is 5 minutes and i.e. on 10:00am Observium reports a switch beeing down, where at 10:05am it reports it as beeing up again. This happens to HPE network gear (switches) as well as to wireless APs (Aruba). I set |$config['ping']['debug'] = TRUE; ||$config['ping']['timeout'] = 500; ||| |in config.php and will now monitor if that helps. Is there anything else i can try to solve this issue?| Best, Thomas -- Thomas Stather IT Services VCP4, VCP6-DCV Tel: +49 6221-486 628 Fax: +49 6221-486 561 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Max Planck Institute for Medical Research (MPImF) Jahnstrasse 29, 69120 Heidelberg Germany

SQL Query
by Andrew Lemin 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

Hi Adam, Hope you are well. Just a quick question about the Observium database schema. I need to write a simple query that will return a list of device names and the IP addresses which Observium uses for its polling (we don’t need or want any other addresses). I had a look and found tables ‘devices’ and ‘ipv4_addresses’. And I can see the device_id foreign key etc, so obtaining all the IPs for a device is trivial enough. But I am not sure how to best filter for just the IP which Observium uses for polling. I recently built a DNS zone for our network team using PowerDNS, and I just need to export all the devices and their management IPs from Observium, so I can inject the records into PowerDNS. So nothing fancy, but we have a couple hundred records.. Kind regards, Andy Lemin

Possibility to disable/enable syslog view for user
by Klimek, Denis 04 Jul '18

04 Jul '18

Hi, what would you think about adding another permission level to disable/enable the possibility to view the syslog entries of a device? We have the situation that some external users must have access to specific devices and graphs, but this also includes syslog entries... and we simply do not want to show them this log entries i.e. cli commands that have been executed.

average trend line to the aggregate storage graphs
by Richard Wigzell 04 Jul '18

04 Jul '18

Hi, is it possible to add an average trend line to the aggregate storage graphs? Similar to what is on the standard usage Graph. We are looking for a way to do some simple and rough storage growth prediction for an number of volumes as an aggregate. If this is something we could do natively with Observium that would be great but if anyone has done something similar with the RRDs and can share that would also be good.

Cisco ADSL port only shows one speed
by Tim Bates 03 Jul '18

03 Jul '18

Hello experts.... I have 2 Cisco routers with ADSL ports. Observium is showing the low (outbound) speed on these ports, however I am more interested in the higher (inbound) speed. When we have line problems, the outbound speed generally doesn't change much (maybe by a few kbps), but the inbound can drop from ~7mbps to under 1mbps. This drastic inbound speed change is what I'd like to monitor, graph and get alerts on... Is there a way to get the other speed to show instead (or in addition)? I can see the Cisco ADSL MIB listed, and enabled, but this is obviously not enough. I can't see any other obvious settings, and Google was not my friend on this one. TB

Graphs for Juniper SRX Showing incorrect speed spike
by TAN Lists 03 Jul '18

03 Jul '18

Hey All, I have a weird issue with some interface graphs for a SRX240H where it will show the speed spiking to 10+GB/s on a 1GB/s port and for the life of me, I can't figure out why. https://pasteboard.co/Hss2xMm.png Observium I think is polling the 32 bit OIDs, but the webUI says it is 64bit Polling with Cacti shows correct traffic on both 32 and 64 bit OIDs - https://pasteboard.co/Hss2agw.png I also see a similar issue with a SRX110H where the VDSL interface (which is hard capped to 12MB/s) is showing 50+MB/s which is not possible. https://pasteboard.co/Hss2kcf.png Not sure how else to debug this, I have a feeling that this might be an issue within Observium, but advice appreciated. Devices are: Juniper SRX240H JunOS 12.1X46-D72.2 (Internet Router) Juniper SRX110H2-VA JunOS 12.3X48-D55.4 (Internet Router) Version Information *Observium CE* 17.9.0 (25th September 2017) *OS* Linux 3.10.0-862.3.2.el7.x86_64 [amd64] (CentOS 7) *Apache* 2.4.6 (CentOS) OpenSSL/1.0.2k-fips mod_fcgid/2.3.9 PHP/5.6.36 *PHP* 5.6.36 *Python* 2.7.5 *MySQL* 5.5.56-MariaDB (extension: mysqli 5.5.56-MariaDB) *SNMP* NET-SNMP 5.7.2 *RRDtool* 1.6.0 Thoughts on fixing / troubleshooting appreciated Have tried deleting devices and re-adding, beyond that, not sure what else to do.

9304 issues
by Joey Stanford 01 Jul '18

01 Jul '18

Hi, Overnight the update script brought us to 9304 and the schema up to 378. Immediately after, all of our devices when down and alerts went out. The problem was that the poller script SQL call was failing because it was looking for status = 1 and all of our boxes were in status = 0. poller couldn’t find the host even though the hostname matched hostname in devices. I did an “ update devices set status=1 where `disabled`=0; “ and poller started again but I’m sure something else it at play here. Joey

Moving Data to new build

How/Can you move data (graphs, device information etc) from one Observium build to another new build? I have been evaluating a Turnkey Linux CE build of Observium adding some devices etc. We like it and have purchased a license for the PE edition. I've been having little success moving the Virtualbox hosted version to ESXi 6.x for production. So I was thinking of installing a new build ontop of Debian 9. Can I move our Vbox hosted data over or do I just suck it up and start again? Thanks, Barry

Minor issue with data obtained vs displayed.

Howdy Adam et al., Just a minor issue that I've noticed. I'm doing WMI polling of my Windoze boxen, and it's generally working well. The information is getting fetched properly, and being displayed properly. However, I've got a few instances where I see the wmi component of the poller is fetching information properly (case in point my personal workstation): ##### Module Start: wmi ##### WMI Poller: Windows version updated: 10 Pro Insider Preview (10.0.17692) Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5680 @ 3.33GHz o Module time 5.3163s But when I view the device overview page, I get the normal non-WMI indication of "Unknown Processor Type".

Alerting on Bandwidth
by Joey Stanford 24 Jun '18

24 Jun '18

Hi Gang, I’m hoping someone can point me to the best answer for this… I can’t use network weathermap on my Observium server. I do need to monitoring available bandwidth on ports. Many ports on many of the 100 routers have different available bandwidths (e.g. our shot from one mountain to another might have a 100M ifspeed but due to the 30 mile link the actual throughput is 15M). I have some ideas: 1) use alerts to specify the router and port which is cumbersome (using ifInOctets_rate and ifOutOctets_rate) 2) query SQL directly and write a program to parse and display 3) Something I haven’t tested, just use the generic rule I have written and modify the ifspeed on the appropriate ports to what the actual bandwidth is. Any suggestions? Thanks, Joey

APC PDU values
by Pedrosi, Derek G. 21 Jun '18

21 Jun '18

Not sure when this started (2 weeks ago?), but my APC PDUs (model AP8641) are alerting sensors on several banks. I checked the output values on the PDU and they are correctly reported BOTH on the PDU and in Observium. The issue lies at what Observium thinks the thresholds should be set to. On the PDU the thresholds are correct (16 warn and 20 max). But Observium is reporting the thresholds as 1.6 and 2 [cid:image001.png@01D40879.39B4EB10] Doing a discovery debug on the device I see this...

Group Editor Interface
by Robert Williams 13 Jun '18

13 Jun '18

Hi all, It may have been there for some time (as this is not frequently modified) but I've found that the group membership editor (Devices->Groups) doesn't seem to recognise historic rulesets which we have for some of our groups. Image below: In this example, the group matches servers with specific combinations of Distro and Version. Interestingly, the group actually continues to work just fine! The only issue is that I cannot make any changes to it with the graphical editor. I've had to update it in the DB (specifically changing one of the version numbers) for Debian, and it continues to show the desired results once the group is rebuilt. >From what I can see, the 'device.distro' and 'device.distro_ver' which we are using, are no longer valid items under 'device' in the GUI. Also, I don't "think" that any of the options there are an appropriate equivalent for this (Operating System is different I believe; and there is no numeric 'version' at all). This I presume is why the editor doesn't know how to handle these existing rules. Is this a quick fix, or the entrance to a rabbit hole? Cheers!

So the bundle should have 40Gbit and I want now to create an alert to trigger a speed mismatch if a member goes down, then Bundle-Ether1 will report its updated speed i.e. 30Gbit and this should be compared and trigger somehow.

Cisco ASR9k Optical Levels
by Richard Savage 05 Jun '18

05 Jun '18

Hi Its seems as though Cisco in their wisdom have changed how the power levels are reported for optical SFP’s and they now by default report in mW and not dBm on the ASR9k platform. When observium SNMP’s them its pulling the mW values now and thus its throwing the sensor values off and creating alerts. Can observium be made to change these back to dBm readings using a simple calculation and pull the thresholds as well as before? Calculation: P(dBm) = 10 ⋅ log10( P(mW) / 1mW) This is whats seen on the CLI for the exact same port: Thresholds: Alarm High Warning High Warning Low Alarm Low Temperature: +95.000 C +90.000 C -20.000 C -25.000 C Voltage: 3.800 Volt 3.700 Volt 2.900 Volt 2.800 Volt Bias: 90.000 mAmps 80.000 mAmps 3.000 mAmps 2.000 mAmps Transmit Power: 1.59000 mW (2.01397 dBm) 1.26000 mW (1.00371 dBm) 0.20000 mW (-6.98970 dBm) 0.16000 mW (-7.95880 dBm) Receive Power: 1.26000 mW (1.00371 dBm) 1.00000 mW (0.00000 dBm) 0.01260 mW (-18.99629 dBm) 0.01000 mW (-20.00000 dBm) Temperature: 30.434 Voltage: 3.264 Volt Tx Bias: 33.722 mAmps Tx Power: 0.53550 mW (-2.71241 dBm) Rx Power: 0.22890 mW (-6.40354 dBm) Many Thanks Richard

Alerting association changes
by Adam Armstrong 01 Jun '18

01 Jun '18

Hi Guys, I've just committed some changes to extend the new rule parsing to alerting. At the moment we're just testing it, so it doesn't do an automatic migration (and there's no editing interface yet!) If you're using alerting (and are running the current version, not stable or CE), you can go to /migrate_alerts/ on your Observium installation to see if the rules will work properly when we make the change for real. Nothing will be changed at this point, we just generate the new rules and make sure their outcome matches what's in the database. If you get any errors, send me a screenshot of the page with the queries visible so we can fix it! Oh, and make sure you do an alerting rebuild first! Thanks, adam.

Oracle E-SBC support
by Johnathon Voegeli 31 May '18

31 May '18

Hey guys, Does anyone here monitor an Oracle (AcmePacket) Session Border controller? I see it’s slightly supported, but does not support the ap-SIP function with SNMP. I am trying to get a custom OID to monitor a sip endpoint at least basic monitoring, but was curious if any one had any luck with anything more? I can manually add each OID for SIP Agent status, but it’s a manual process each time we add a customer/endpoint to each cluster and of course only provides a 1, 2, 3. I have it setup to alert on anything other than 3. Thanks in Advance! ~JV

Cisco 3750 Temperature
by Storer, Darren 29 May '18

29 May '18

Here's an odd one... Temperature is reported correctly by many models of Cisco catalyst devices but on one of the Observium nodes there are two 3750 switches with different behaviour. The 3750 with IOS 15 is okay and reports temperature but an older 3750 under IOS 12 doesn't return temperature, even though I feel sure that it did a few years ago. Observium version: 18.5.9244 (24th May 2018) Has anyone else observed this behaviour? Update: Just checked an old 2960, still on IOS 12 and found that it doesn't display temperature but a 2960 with IOS 15 is okay. Any advice gratefully received. Thanks Darren

Hi, What would be the best way to create an alert on reboot? For example after a power outage? Would that be an alert checker with up_time less than 20 minutes? Or a syslog alert with /rebooted/ ? Kind regards, Ricardo Franco Cantero

BGP polling inside VRF
by Jan Horacek 25 May '18

25 May '18

Hi guys, I`m not sure if this question was already answered or not, but I was asked to do research how Observium could monitor BGP peers inside the VRFs to alert us if any peer flaps or is down. I can set up alert notification based on the syslog, but this module is sending emails only and doesn`t show notification on the main dashboard. Do you have any idea if would be possible support snmp-context for every BGP peers in observium? Using SNMPv3 on all routers or how to display alerts on the dashboard based on syslog policy? Thanks Jan
