problem in graphics of more than 1000 devices
by Wilbert Martínez López 17 Sep '18

17 Sep '18

hello can you please support me with the following situation I have, I installed Obervium in a virtual machine with 8 Gb of RAM and 8 cores, which have an Intel Xeon processor E5-1620 v3 at 3.50 Ghz, hard drive of 200 GB, has installed a version of Ubuntu 16.04.5 with Observium version CE17.9.0 when it had 30 devices added works well in terms of graphics, but when we added more antennas in total 1085 at the time it has become slow and also the graphics shows incomplete of any element, cpu, memory, ports, etc, the devices aggregates are radios of ubiquiti and mikrotik, I attach the images where it shows the commented of the graphics graph a month from a port graph to 6 hours a port the same situation occurs with the graphics of memory, processor, memory or any ports of all devices Wilbert.

snmpget on multiple OID fails on Eaton UPS
by Mailing Lists 14 Sep '18

14 Sep '18

We have around 22 Eaton UPS devices currently monitored on Observium and I have been investigating today why about 25% of them refuse to return a syslocation. It seems that the devices just don't reliably return snmpget when multiple OID are queried at once, at least for these objects. Specifically, when taking the following command from the poller debug and running it manually: /usr/bin/snmpget -t '4' -r '2' -v3 -l 'authPriv' -n '' -x 'DES' -X 'removed' -a 'MD5' -A 'removed' -u 'observium' -Pu -OQUs -m SNMPv2-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp 'udp':'device':'161' sysUpTime.0 sysLocation.0 sysContact.0 sysName.0 The request times out even when increasing the timeout. When reducing the number of OID queried to 3 or less the device seems to respond: /usr/bin/snmpget -t '4' -r '2' -v3 -l 'authPriv' -n '' -x 'DES' -X 'removed' -a 'MD5' -A 'removed' -u 'observium' -Pu -OQUs -m SNMPv2-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp 'udp':'device':'161' sysUpTime.0 sysLocation.0 sysContact.0 sysUpTime.0 = 0:0:31:01.19 sysLocation.0 = location sysContact.0 = user(a)example.com /usr/bin/snmpget -t '4' -r '2' -v3 -l 'authPriv' -n '' -x 'DES' -X 'removed' -a 'MD5' -A 'removed' -u 'observium' -Pu -OQUs -m SNMPv2-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp 'udp':'device':'161' sysLocation.0 sysContact.0 sysName.0 sysLocation.0 = location sysContact.0 = user(a)example.com sysName.0 = device Is there a way to configure the behaviour to reduce the number of simultaneous OID requested to make this work reliably? Thanks, Tim C

731 Revisions behind
by Thomas Steffensen 11 Sep '18

11 Sep '18

Hi, I am currently running: Version Information Observium CE 0.16.10.8128 (6th October 2016) OS Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 [amd64] (Debian 7.11) Apache 2.2.22 (Debian) PHP 5.4.45-0+deb7u11 Python 2.7.3 MySQL 5.5.58-0+deb7u1 (extension: mysqli 5.5.58) SNMP NET-SNMP 5.4.3 RRDtool 1.4.7 And I would really like to upgrade to version 17.9.8859 which is 731 revisions ahead. However, being 2 years behind on updates I admit that I am having a little bit of an issue with the consequences of this. Is there any best practices I should follow or are there revisions that I should upgrade to first before going to the latest?

Observium site blank after logging in
by Stallings, Breisch 10 Sep '18

10 Sep '18

I've acquired an Observium implementation, which worked perfectly fine a few months ago. Nothing that I know of has changed over the past few months. Now we can get to the login screen as usual. As soon as you enter your credentials and login, the very next screen is completely blank and nothing appears. We've rebooted the box several times. Today I upgraded to the latest release - 9431. I'm not very proficient working through Linux troubleshooting, which is was the base OS is. Has anyone else seen this issue and possibly how to troubleshoot/resolve it?

Devices not being discovered
by Roland Hill 08 Sep '18

08 Sep '18

Hi all, I've been running the CE version of Observium for a few years now, always upgrading as the new releases come out. Earlier this year my server hosting Observium updated to Ubuntu 18.04 and php7x. As previously raised on list, this was incompatible with the previous CE version. No problem, I waited it out. Now my issue. Since upgrading to the latest CE version, 5 out of my 7 devices (home network) are no longer being discovered. I can confirm DNS is working. I've debugged as much as I can, including reinstalling snmpd on the Ubuntu boxes. The devices which are staying down are my Ubuntu boxes and Unifi AP and Secure gateway. Any direction on debugging would be greatly appreciated. -- Regards, Roland

TP-Link switches freeze with new Observium CE
by Attila Nagy 07 Sep '18

07 Sep '18

Hi List! Firstly our appreciations go to the team for the new CE version. Thanks a lot! Now the somewhat bitter part: we updated yesterday evening to the latest CE version and today morning we were confronted with the problem that a few Tp-Link switches have frozen. To be more precise, only the management part was frozen, so the switch was degraded to a dumb non-manageable switch. After reboot the switches return to full function only to freeze again on next SNMP poll. The switches in question are all T1600G-28TS or T1600G-28PS (poor-man's manageable gigabit switches :-)) There is no newer firmware update available for them. They worked perfectly with the previous CE version up until the update. We have other Tp-Link switches which are not affected by the same problem: TL-SG2424, TL-SG2216, TL-SG2008. We tried to narrow down the problem, and it seems that discovery works as it should, the freeze enacts during the polling, more exactly when the ports module runs. Looking at the debug log the following command produces the freeze: /usr/bin/snmpget -v2c -c 'public' -Pu -OQUs -m IF-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp 'udp':'switch-test':'161' ifInMulticastPkts.1 ifOutMulticastPkts.1 ifInBroadcastPkts.1 ifOutBroadcastPkts.1 ifHCInOctets.1 ifHCOutOctets.1 ifHCInUcastPkts.1 ifHCOutUcastPkts.1 ifHCInMulticastPkts.1 ifHCOutMulticastPkts.1 ifHCInBroadcastPkts.1 ifHCOutBroadcastPkts.1 ifInOctets.1 ifOutOctets.1 ifInUcastPkts.1 ifOutUcastPkts.1 ifInNUcastPkts.1 ifOutNUcastPkts.1 ifInDiscards.1 ifOutDiscards.1 ifInErrors.1 ifOutErrors.1 ifInUnknownProtos.1 ifMtu.1 ifSpeed.1 ifPhysAddress.1 ifAdminStatus.1 ifLastChange.1 ifPromiscuousMode.1 ifConnectorPresent.1 From here onward there is no SNMP response from the switch, the SYS LED stops blinking and is frozen in whichever state it was, and there is no network connectivity to the switch (does not respond to ping and the management interface is inaccessible). The dumb switch hardware was still working for some time, but this was inconsistent, some switches have frozen to a complete halt some time after, while others were still working as dumb switches. As these are under constant load we didn't had the time to more thoroughly investigate on them, we restored their functionality and disabled them in Observium. We have one extra hardware that we can put online for testing if needed. My questions would be: - Should I include a full debug log or the above info is enough? - Has anyone met the same problem/has a solution to it? - Can we know what was changed on the above command line, so maybe as a workaround we can disable that single feature? - I suspect this is a firmware issue, but I am not sure (that's why I'm asking here first, here I have way bigger chances to receive meaningful answers compared to Tp-Link's support), maybe somebody can help me narrow down the firmware bug if it is really one. Thank you guys in advance. Best regards, Tylla

How do you configure Internet traffic Today

Hi, I am not sure if this is the right forum but I need some help with basic settings in Observium. I admit I have very little experience with Observium but a great deal with Solarwinds and The Dude (Mikrotik). On my main dashboard window I have a tab saying Internet Traffic Today. This monitors ports to the internet. However, we have replaced some border router and therefor I need to change which ports are being monitored and I can't seem to figure out where I change this? Can I do this in GUI?

Also a show vlan <id>(showvlan.txt) to prove that they really are untagged ;) 1.

Polling times grew a lot upgrading to 18.8.9403 from 18.7.9337
by Silvio del Val Hinojal 29 Aug '18

29 Aug '18

Hello, This morning I upgraded our Observium Pro machines from prior version 18.7.9337 to last 18.8.9403 and, since then, polling times growed by almost 3 or 4 times: [cid:image003.jpg@01D43ED6.AFE37570] I upgraded using "svn update" in our polling machines and "discovery.php -u" to upgrade DB schema. I even tried to activate "$config['snmp']['max-rep'] = TRUE;" with no luck. What should I change to fix this times?

Get more information on Dashboard for Process consumption
by Kaustubh Parthasarthy, CLSA 29 Aug '18

29 Aug '18

I have been using observium for few months now. I wanted some info from the graphs that observium spins off. Following is the graphs for running process consumption: [cid:image001.png@01D43EAC.03C3D610] Can I get something like top 10 process graphs? Let me give you an example, I sometimes get requests from folks asking, "Ok my memory utilization on a server ABC was 90% on this particular day. Can we get list of processes consuming high memory on that particular day ? " So as per this, can I customize the graph to get process level info ?

Dashboards
by Cederlund Tobias 27 Aug '18

27 Aug '18

Hi (...threw the to the list yesterday, but it didn't came through...) A few months ago I noticed the appearance of a "Default Dashboard" under Overview in the menu. There's also a nice "Add to Dashboard" button on graph-pages to add the graph to a dashboard. This seems like a fantastic feature but right now there only the "Default Dashboard". Is it possible add more dashboards? ...and if so, how? I also haven't seen any documentation of this very nice feature. Is there any? We're on 18.8.9355 Best regards, Tobias

Static routes
by Klimek, Denis 23 Aug '18

23 Aug '18

Hi, what is your opinion about extracting also the static configured routes from the device? Possible SNMP OID would be .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.24.7 We have the case that multiple prefixes are staticly configured and that we are able to fetch them in the Observium database for 3rd party purposes that we built around. I know that pulling the routes from a device with a BGP full route takes a lot of time, but maybe it can be implemented into the discovery module instead of the poller. A way to ignore BGP or to exclude everything except static is not known so far.... From my side.

Custom OID Metric Conditions (now with 100% more attachment)

Hi, The attached image shows some custom OIDs I have set up to monitor Juniper QFX VCP link status. These work fine and I see the custom graphs (gauges where state 1 = link up, state 0 = link down). The last bit I need to figure out is how to alert on them. I think I'm 90% of the way there. You can see the custom OIDs in the top browser window. In the bottom browser window, I'm unsure how to refer to the custom OIDs in the "conditions" bit. Any help gratefully accepted - I've got this far without bothering anyone but I've fallen at the last hurdle. Thanks!

Show ink levels for Ricoh printers
by Simon Mousey Smith 21 Aug '18

21 Aug '18

Hi All This is a message to ask people can they try these SNMP OIDs in the link below on there Ricoh printers? We have a few Ricoh printers that just show SOME SPACE in observium and would love to see values! I discovered this link by accident and they appear to be working on our few printers! Currently using the printer-mib only reveilles -3, -2, -1 which isnt helpful... But the link below uses ricohs private mib which appears to work! https://github.com/librenms/librenms/issues/4177#issuecomment-241957542 <https://github.com/librenms/librenms/issues/4177#issuecomment-241957542> If they work for others, could the wonderful amazing observium team implement these oids into the existing checker to show stats :) Regards Simon - Hestor Ltd

Then you can upgrade it and in case of troubles you can simple restore the data from backup (directory or full backup of the system). So you will only loose data that got collected between upgrade process and restore process.

I am not able to login in web interface after new install observium CE 17.9.0
by Cesar Vazquez Moreno 16 Aug '18

16 Aug '18

Hello, After install observium Community Edition 17.9.0 in Centos 7 and Nginx, I am not able to login for first time using web interface. The adduser script added correctly the admin user (also I created 3 more users) with level 10. The weird is there is not record of the action in any log. I did research and found similar issue about 5 years ago where the problem was the disk or partition was full, this is not my case, my / filesystem is 47% and /temp filesystem is 2%. other possibility is the session_start() can have troubles to write, but without log it's only a guess. I want to try set session_save_path() just before session_start() to see if this solve the issue. if you think my idea can work, in what file where should I put the variable? What do you think? any other idea? -- Regards Zague

Slow page generation when using group permissions
by Christian Eriksson 13 Aug '18

13 Aug '18

Hi, When using user level 1 permission with group permission, page generation is very slow. I have a total of 447 devices, where group X has 225 members When a user with permission to group X logs in, the frontpage takes 24s to load(using status_summary/map/syslog/eventlog/). Clicking on a device takes 22s. When an admin logs in, the "same" frontpage takes 0.6s to load Anyone got any tips? Fast userspace caching might work but I just wondered if there is something else to it Observium 18.8.9366 (10th August 2018) OS Linux 4.4.0-130-generic [amd64] (Ubuntu 16.04) Apache 2.4.18 (Ubuntu) PHP 7.0.30-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 (OPcache: ENABLED) Python 2.7.12 MySQL 5.7.23-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 (extension: mysqli 5.0.12-dev) SNMP NET-SNMP 5.7.3 RRDtool 1.5.5 (rrdcached 1.5.5: unix:/var/run/rrdcached.sock) Fping 3.13 (IPv4 and IPv6) Regards Christian

FortiSwitch Ports Query
by Matthew Goeres 06 Aug '18

06 Aug '18

Hi, I recently upgraded from one of the turnkey appliances to Observium running in a VM on its own running Observium CE 17.9.0. Since that upgrade my queries for ports haven't been completed against my main FortiSwitch. Looking at the poller times the ports module seems to be taking the longest (ports/1,562.4587s/156.25%). Debugging that on the fortiswitch I am seeing the following queries and very high CPU usage on the FortiSwitch (124D running 3.6.6). Is there a way to disable that query specifically rather than ports as a whole? snmpd: <msg> 49 bytes xxxxx:8089 -> xxxxx/xxxxx:161 (itf 32.32) snmpd: checking if community "xxxxx" is valid snmpd: checking against community "xxxxx" snmpd: request 1(root)/32/xxxxx == comm 1/0/0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 snmpd: matched community "xxxxx" snmpd: get-next: OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.17.7.1.4.3.1 : dot1qVlanStaticEntry .4.1964 -> (snmpd: get_last_index_dot1qVlanStaticTable() snmpd: get_dot1qVlanStaticEntry() fld:4 ) -> 0 snmpd: </msg> 1 snmpd: <msg> 49 bytes xxxxx:17885 -> xxxxx/xxxxx:161 (itf 32.32) snmpd: checking if community "xxxxx" is valid snmpd: checking against community "xxxxx" snmpd: request 1(root)/32/xxxxx == comm 1/0/0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 snmpd: matched community "xxxxx" snmpd: get-next: OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.17.7.1.4.3.1 : dot1qVlanStaticEntry .4.859 -> (snmpd: get_last_index_dot1qVlanStaticTable() snmpd: get_dot1qVlanStaticEntry() fld:4 d) -> 0 snmpd: </msg> 1 Thanks, Matt

Hi, In general when using RHEL you have to become proficient at finding lots of non-ancient packages.

Hi guys, I'm getting alerts for high disk usage for some of my servers. The alerts are false as my actual partition disk size is 9.6T and total disk size is 9.9T. [cid:image002.jpg@01D42CDC.F7960BA0] [cid:image001.png@01D419E5.810487F0] In the Observium.org FAQ I can see the this issue is known for volumes >16TB, but looks like it's the same from 10TB. I'm running Net-SNMP 5.5 on Centos 6.9 and I was trying to find a later release but couldn't. is 5.7 supported only on Centos 7? [cid:image004.png@01D419E6.3963EED0] Thanks!

Is building groups broken? Can't get it to work.
by Henrik Cednert (Filmlance) 03 Aug '18

03 Aug '18

Hello Running 18.8.9360 (3rd August 2018). Noticed that “groups” have gotten a sweet ass looking upgrade! =))) Nice one! But I have issues when building the groups. Thought it had to do with the “,” and “|” as separator, since that seems to have changed under the hood. So I tried to recreate an old rule and make the new one just like the old one. But when building it i end up at a blank page with the "Building groups memberships” heading. Nothing happens and when I refresh the page no sensors are in the group. Am I missing something? Picture of the old working group and the new one I made. What did I do wrong? [cid:6BC76FC6-6363-4298-A519-392F95B7C800] Old working rule. “|” as separator of hostnames under “association ruleset” but “,” once you enter the edit mode. Is this expeted behaviour? [cid:7E5BC9FB-7903-4C44-9913-9EAAE8A360C9] Cheers and thanks -- Henrik Cednert / + 46 704 71 89 54 / CTO / Filmlance Disclaimer, the hideous bs disclaimer at the bottom is forced, sorry. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Disclaimer The information contained in this communication from the sender is confidential.

multiple pollers and poller-wrapper history
by Christian Eriksson 03 Aug '18

03 Aug '18

Hi, Is it possible to see graphs under /pollerlog/view=wrapper/ for each poller when using poller-wrapper with -g option? All pollers are polling their indivudal host group and putting the rrd's over rrdcached, but as of now the filename is the same, so either they will overwrite the files depending of the rrdcached settings, or nothing will happen if file exists ERROR: rrdcached: RRD Error: creating '/opt/observium/rrd/poller-wrapper.rrd': File exists ERROR: rrdcached: RRD Error: creating '/opt/observium/rrd/poller-wrapper_count.rrd': File exists Regards Christian

Hi guys, Hope someone here can shed some light on my issue with rrdcached and observium. I am using a distributed setup with web/sql/poller on separate machines. Followed the guide here http://blog.best-practice.se/2017/10/scaling-observium-horizontally.html and currently using two pollers with great success overall What I can't seem to figure out is why some rrd files won't get created. It doesn't matter what poller I am using or what devices, it is always the following rrd-files ping.rrd ping_snmp.rrd status.rrd [cid:image002.png@01D42A5F.99A20960] [cid:image005.png@01D42A5F.99A20960] Some information regarding my system Observium 18.7.9354 (30th July 2018) OS Linux 4.4.0-130-generic [amd64] (Ubuntu 16.04) Apache 2.4.18 (Ubuntu) PHP 7.0.30-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 (OPcache: ENABLED) Python 2.7.12 MySQL 5.7.23-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 (extension: mysqli 5.0.12-dev) SNMP NET-SNMP 5.7.3 RRDtool 1.5.5 (rrdcached 1.5.5: unix:/var/run/rrdcached.sock) Fping 3.13 (IPv4 and IPv6) rrdcached settings $config['rrdcached'] = 'ip address'; $config['rrd']['no_local'] = TRUE; root@server:/home/user# ps aux | grep rrdcached observi+ 13596 1.6 0.5 1727784 45980 ?

Re: [Observium] ifAlias Description notmatches multiple wildcard issue

Use attributes as attributes. You probably don't want to create permanent alert table entries just for this, and it's not time critical. Using attributes to match these non-valid descriptions, an alert table entry would only be created when it's necessary, and then you can just use an unrealistic metric condition to make it always trigger. adam. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Klimek, Denis" <DKlimek(a)Stadtwerke-Norderstedt.de> To: "'observium(a)observium.org'" <observium(a)observium.org> Sent: 2018-07-26 15:01:55 Subject: [Observium] ifAlias Description notmatches multiple wildcard issue >Hi all, > > > >I would like to setup a alert checker which checks configured Ethernet >ports if there is a “valid” Observium port description configured.

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.

No feedback on this one ?

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

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 ?

Hi, Is there an option create a zoomed in 'home page' where you can set a specific size of the map? For example, we have our entire county now displaying on the homepage on the map but we would like to see a city only so that we can display this city onto a separate monitor of us.

Hi guys, just wanted to show the new Observium I deployed for a customer this week :) Everything polled from one single server without problems (pollingtime is about 140s for all devices) Big thanks to Mike who helped me identify and fix a scaling issue when running a huge amount of threads. (if you run an Observium-install that runs poller-wrapper with 100+ threads you should check out r9333) /Markus

additional file systems not shown in Observium
by Thomas Stather 20 Jul '18

20 Jul '18

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. Does somebody have any hint for me how to fix this?

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
by Brian Hilmers 20 Jul '18

20 Jul '18

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

15 Jul '18

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

Alerts table not refreshed after discovery
by Fabrice Charlier 13 Jul '18

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

Graphs are showing 13MB throughput on a 6MB link
by Anthony Polselli 12 Jul '18

12 Jul '18

Just noticed that the bandwidth graphs are not reporting the correct throughput. I.e. a 6MB T-1 link is showing 13MB on the Out. This router is a Cisco 7204VXR. I just tried updating to the current version of Observium, patched the OS, and rebooted but no change. Thoughts?
