Most up to date API Documentation
by Stephan Roy 01 May '18

01 May '18

Hi, We’ve recently purchased Observium to automate how we collect bandwidth usage data for billing our clients. By luck, I was able to find the /api/v0/bills endpoint which does not exist in the documentation at http://docs.observium.org/api/. After seeing that I’m wondering if there are other undocumented endpoints, or query parameters that could be useful. Does anyone have access to the most recent API doc that they could send me or point me towards? Thanks, Steph

Problem with the new CLICKATELL API
by Eric LESIGNE 01 May '18

01 May '18

Hello, Clickatell's SMS notification service has changed its API mode. The configuration in OBSERVIUM no longer allows to use to send SMS on the new platform. On the Clickatell site the configuration of the old API mode is no longer accessible. I'm looking for a solution so that it can work with the new API mode. The new mode of operation: https://platform.clickatell.com/messages/http/send?apiKey=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=… <https://platform.clickatell.com/messages/http/send?apiKey=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=…> Instead of: https: //api.clickatell.com <http://api.clickatell.com/>&/http/sendmsg user = password = xxxx xxxx xxxx = api_id & to = & text = xxxx xxxx? Thank you for your help.

Graph Interpretation Questions
by TLee 27 Apr '18

27 Apr '18

Good morning/ evening! I have a complete Ovservium noob question to ask that i am a little embarrassed to ask, but i’m biting the bullet! Currently running the subscription edition on a CentOS install - everything patched and current as of yesterday. My question is about the graphs. I have attached a pic of a graph from a single port on a cisco switch - and i am interesred in the ‘In’ traffic —> there is a single, green, ‘in’ reference in the legend, but there are three distinct green indicators in the graph —> which one actually correllates to ‘In’, and why are there multiples.

observium graph not showing anything
by Nicholas 27 Apr '18

27 Apr '18

Hi, Good day. I have problem with my observium graph not showing anything. I aldi make sure the config.php does not have empty line, tried switching browser, give permission to rrd folder. but it still not showing anything. My /opt/observium/logs does not give any error. May I know how may I trobleshoot this? Attached is some information from my observium server. My setup is on centos7 and my monitoring device is a windows 10 latop. Also, in graph 2, the timing in the filter and the timing in the graph is different. (refer to graph2.jpg) I did perform time modification after setup observium and the time on the graph did changed to the correct time. But the filter is showing different time. I try remove the observium folder, and reunpack, drop database and recreate the database. Still the result is the same. I wonder if this is the reason the graph is not working. Really appreciate if anyone can help out on this. -- Thank you. Regards, Nicholas

Re: [Observium] cisco c3850 sensor warnings
by Adam Armstrong 25 Apr '18

25 Apr '18

Hi, These sensors are all below the "low warning" threshold. These thresholds should be set automatically by the switch, but Cisco sometimes drop the ball on this (and then hit it with a brick just to be sure). The first sensor's low warning threshold is 31C, whereas the current value is 19C, which is below that. You can manually set the thresholds for these entries in the devices's settings on the "sensors" tab. adam. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Wiethoff, Helge" <Helge.Wiethoff(a)thga.de> To: "observium(a)observium.org" <observium(a)observium.org> Sent: 2018-04-24 09:49:18 Subject: [Observium] cisco c3850 sensor warnings >Hi everyone, > >I have a small problem with our Cisco WS-C3850-24T-E switches.

More IP on same device
by Luca Sasdelli 23 Apr '18

23 Apr '18

Hi, we use Observium to monitor even some firewalls from the outside, to check the connectivity status; does it exist any way to override the "Already got device" error when the SNMP is already within the database, just for some devices? Just as a hint, a way to use more IPs to gain the same device, and relative availability graph only, would be great. Best Luca

General Questions for a New User
by Carlos Alvarado Lobo 21 Apr '18

21 Apr '18

Dear Sirs: I’m a new user and I currently have a suscription license. I have some questions and I need your support to resolve them! 1- How many devices can manage the platform using a production license (Supcription Edition)? and How many the Community Edition? Is it limited by the amount of equipment or by the parameters to be monitored? I have a project to monitor 300 UPS APC and 5 parameter per device and I need to confirm if it is possible !! 2- Right now, I have Observium installed on a Dell R230 server, Intel Xeon E3-1220V3 / 3.1 GHz, 8 GB DDR3L SDRAM, 2 TB hard drive capacity; I need to document or validate that Observium can be installed without problems on this server! 3- Regarding the license, How can I differentiate between a test installation and the production environment? We need to made testing with notification before put on production! 4- How can I get the Observium documentation in pdf? Regards, Carlos Alvarado

Enhancement request
by Andrew Lemin 19 Apr '18

19 Apr '18

Hi, Just two small enhancement requests ;) 1) We love the Search feature to search for IPs and MACs, a true time saver. And adding the ability to sort by the columns would be fantastic. After doing a search for all loopbacks for example, it would be great if we could sort the resulting list by the "Device", "Interface", "Address" or "Description" columns. The list currently seems to sort by "Address", but alphabetically not numerically etc. Use case example, I am programming some explicit-paths for some traffic engineering tunnels, and so I need to find the loopbacks of every router along the path to which I want to fix the TE tunnel. I can search for all loopbacks no problem, but we have lots or them as routers also have multiple loopbacks.. However I am just interesting in "Lo0" on every single router. So after doing the search for all loopbacks, if we could then just click on the "Interface" column heading, that would put all the Lo0's first.. voilà :) 2) We also love the simplicity and power provided by utilizing the [] {} () brackets on descriptions to store the values into the different database fields. But the CDR [] is limited. This is probably one of the most powerful features, as it allows you to not have to configure monitoring, but instead to only configure the network and monitoring then automatically does its thing and follows the network :) We would like to do more with the [CDR] field, but are hamstrung by the fact that the CDR is not converted into bits in the database. The star feature would be to create an alert checker that fires when utilisation breaches the configured CDR. We know this has been requested and requires some code reworking.. We just wanted to add our names to the list of users after this feature. Thanks again for your time and creating such a great project. Because it is so good we still have on our roadmap a desire to put in some time and effort to contribute to the project, and figure out all the OIDs and their mappings etc and attempt to write a page for showing LDP neighbours and various other MPLS things. Given time I am determined to get around to this ;) Best regards, Andy Lemin.

Re: [Observium] Autodiscover - LLDP discovery
by Adam Armstrong 19 Apr '18

19 Apr '18

The original design of Observium was to enforce valid hostnames. We no longer enforce this for adding devices (because some networks are run by insane people who like looking at huge lists of nearly identical IPs), but a lot of the autodiscovery code still uses sysName and forward dns lookups to verify if a device should really be autodiscovered. Changing this behaviour would involve time, so one would have to be persuasive with one's justification. :> adam. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Christian Eriksson" <christian.eriksson(a)advania.se> To: "observium(a)observium.org" <observium(a)observium.org> Sent: 2018-04-16 11:10:03 Subject: [Observium] Autodiscover - LLDP discovery >Hello > > > >Is it possible for Observium to add devices based on the management >address that is returned by LLDP if SysName does not resolve?

Hi Adam! I was looking at the ARP/NDP table on the Ports page of some of our machines and currently it displays the vendor of the given device in a tooltip.

LDAP auth vs AD server
by Elmar K. Bins 11 Apr '18

11 Apr '18

Hello everybody, I can't access the archives somehow, so if there's a simple direct pointer for this... I've played around with the LDAP config quite a bit now to get it to auth users versus our AD server. So far so good, the somewhat obscure OBS_DEBUG option helps. I believe (!) auth works now, but I have an interesting effect and can still not log into Observium: 1. I use my AD user and the WRONG password I get a lot of debug output, ending in - expected - "Invalid credentials". So far, so good. 2. I use my AD user and the CORRECT password I get ZERO output regarding LDAP, I see generic debugging and versioning output though: --------------------------------- CMD[/usr/bin/svn info /opt/observium] CMD EXITCODE[0] CMD RUNTIME[0.015s] STDOUT[ Path: /opt/observium Working Copy Root Path: /opt/observium URL: http://svn.observium.org/svn/observium/branches/stable Relative URL: ^/observium/branches/stable Repository Root: http://svn.observium.org/svn Repository UUID: 61d68cd4-352d-0410-923a-c4978735b2b8 Revision: 9166 Node Kind: directory Schedule: normal Last Changed Author: adama Last Changed Rev: 9073 Last Changed Date: 2018-03-02 22:37:46 +0000 (Fri, 02 Mar 2018) ] ... some MySQL SELECTs ... ending in STDOUT[ anx-i-observium0101 ] × Load class 'Net_IPv6' from '/opt/observium/libs/pear/Net/IPv6.php': OK CACHE DISABLED.

Re: [Observium] Port Labeling
by Mike Stupalov 06 Apr '18

Hi, port_label is cleaned field (from unusefull information), generated based on multiple possible Oids (ie ifDescr, ifName). But anyway in db such fields ifDescr and ifName stored as is without changes and can used for alerts, etc. port_label is short as possible for display in most pages. I not see reasons for keep such data ( - Printer) for display in port names. This exactly should be stored in ifAlias (wich is port description).

Rx/Tx Port Errors
by Erdem HAKI 06 Apr '18

06 Apr '18

Hello, I see several Rx/Tx port errors on my Observium. For example it says Tx: 25 on the home page, but when I click on the interface, the "Errors" graph shows me that Tx 118.69m, and I can not see anything wrong with the Tx when I check the interface errors from the router CLI. How can I verify these alarms are false positive or not? Alarms are not router specific, I got alarms from both Nokia and Juniper boxes. Best

Rancid for different devices
by Travis Garrison 05 Apr '18

05 Apr '18

Wanted to check with everyone to make sure its not builtin or I'm missing something simple before I create my own script. Any way to automatically create the config to backup Cisco, Mikrotik and other devices through rancid? We have rancid setup for Cisco currently and want to start backing up our Mikrotik and Ubiquiti routers. Thanks Travis

Port Labeling
by Christian 05 Apr '18

05 Apr '18

Hello, I was introduced to Observium in early March, and coming from a Nagios / Cacti type of monitoring, I am completely impressed with the power of Observium. I have CE 17.9.0 and am in the process of deploying it at my location. I have a couple of smart switches that support SNMP, but are not capable of a Port label. Thus, Observium shows the switch as Port 1, Port 2, Port 3 instead of my desired “Port 1 - Bandwidth Control” “Port 2 - Linux Server” “Port 3 - Printer” … that sort of thing. I found that I could use NaviCat to edit the MySQL database to properly label the ports, but then the next polling cycle restores the generic port label 5 minutes later. Is there any way for me to modify the polling to leave the label alone? I don’t want to look into “locking” the [port_label] field of the database tables. If I may also ask, is there any way to tell Observium that a down port is the normal (green) condition? I have some switches with ports that are not active, and if something is plugged into them, an alert would be handy. Thank you again for this amazing software. Christian

Function gone missing

Hi guys. I have noticed that our weathermap has stopped updating, when I run it in debug mode it moans about function check_extension_exists() being missing. I have had a quick look through the source and can't see that function anywhere. Not sure if its been depreciated or renamed (or if it was surplus to requirements and simply removed) Cheers.

"External Web URL" not set or incorrect,

taildrops counted as errors since junos 15.X on EX series
by Arne Van Theemsche 01 Apr '18

01 Apr '18

Hi, we started to upgrade our juniper EX switches to 15.X release and notice a change of behaviour in error reporting at interface level in observium the problem lays that taildrops (which are activated by default and cannot just be, and isn't even a good practice to disable them) are now reported as errors in observium Output errors: Carrier transitions: 29, Errors: 0, Drops: 177209, Collisions: 0, Aged packets: 0, FIFO errors: 0, HS link CRC errors: 0, MTU errors: 0, Resource errors: 0 show interfaces queue xe-0/0/4 .... Tail-dropped packets : 177209 ...... prior to 15.X we only received reports/mails if the Errors Value was > 0. Honestly, we only care about errors, because taildrops will always happen from time to time I don't know if this is a change in behaviour of juniper snmp counters or that this is a flag in observium we can toggle? thx Arne

Clearing Alerts
by mal＠platinumnetworks.com.au 28 Mar '18

28 Mar '18

Hi all - I have created my very first alert checker and can see that it creates and alert according to the checker criteria. My checker looks for speed on a port and alerts if ge 100M. >From what I can see, once that alert has been created I do not have the ability to 'clear' the alert so even if the port speed drops below 100M the alert remains in failed state and if the checker criteria are met again a new alert is not created. My use case is that I need to monitor the bandwidth utilisation on this specific port on an ongoing basis and be alerted each time the speed exceeds say 100M. Appreciate any pointers to show me where I am going wrong. Cheers Mal

FW: Defining Groups
by mal＠platinumnetworks.com.au 24 Mar '18

24 Mar '18

Thanks Adam – Have updated to rolling (9128) and can see the groups is now different but I am still not seeing any members in my group ☹. I am thinking that the ruleset itself is not working because I created another group that does work using “device.hostname match *qld*”. Is the ruleset definition ‘port.port_descr_descr match *L3*’ correct if I want all ports with a parsed description including L3? My port description is something like… CUST: ABC Cust (Channel Wireless L3)…….. I was expecting the ruleset to match on *L3* and return results including L3.

Traffic Accounting
by mal＠platinumnetworks.com.au 23 Mar '18

23 Mar '18

Hi all - Have just upgraded to the subscription version and looking to understand what functionality I can get out of the traffic accounting. There are 2 initial aims I'd like to get some thoughts about. 1. Creating alert/email notification based on the outbound total traffic from specific ports. Example: if total outbound data for the current billing period is equal to 50% of quota, email customer. Similarly for say 75%, 90% and 100% of quota. 2. Configure bill to compare only outbound traffic to quota when calculating overusage. I am hoping someone may have tried previously and can give me some direction. Appreciate any thoughts. Mal

New device / custom graph
by Steffen Schwebel 22 Mar '18

22 Mar '18

Greetings o/ I have an instance with observium running and am trying to add a new device/graph for it. There seems to be little information for this. I tried looking into the mailing list archive as well at http://postman.memetic.org/pipermail/observium/ but get a 403. So, forgive me for asking again what must be a frequent question. My device is a PDU from "Gude" described by MIB GUDEADS-PDU818X. I can see that there are already devices from "Gude" in the source like "Gude Expert PDU" described by GUDEADS-PDU8110-MIB but so far I have not been successful. Are there any documents, guides or anything that you can recommend? Any help is greatly appreciated. Best regards, Steffen Schwebel

Logging changes to Observium
by Josh Williams 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

Is there a way to log who is doing what whithin Observium? I would like to be able to tell who is adding or deleting devices, making changes to the config, or making any changes to Observium for that matter. I am not able (allowed) to lock down the config by making changes in the config.php. I have to keep the configs open to be changed by anyone on the team. This is truthfully a null point as the admin and root passwords are mandated to be stored in our team password vault anyway. I'd like a way to make others accountable for their actions. Thanks, Josh

User configurable device-specific Connect Via link

Posted this earlier today in Jira as an Improvement but got to thinking I should have first emailed here... ***************** Am an MSP / MSSP that's new to Observium... See from the Device drop down the ability to Connect Via Telnet / SSH / etc to some of my devices (eg Vmware) but don't see this option for my (SonicWALL) firewalls. Would very much like to have the ability to manually configure a device-specific Connect Via link. For example... https://1.2.3.4 https://1.2.3.4:4443 I've looked through several of the MySQL tables where I thought I might find this info but couldn't find anything. Am I just missing it or is this not an option today? -- Randy Schultz

Migrating to a new server
by Josh Williams 28 Feb '18

28 Feb '18

We just purchased an upgraded server in which to host Observium on and I would like to know the “best” way to migrate over all of our monitored devices. I’m not concerned with any of the graphed data being migrated, or any of the old Observium config. I only want to do a mass export of all of the devices and their properties. Will a dump of the ‘devices’ and ‘devices_locations’ tables suffice? Are there other tables/directories/configs I need to be concerned about?

Down Ports - Device Reboots
by Art Stephens 28 Feb '18

28 Feb '18

When I first discovered and polled these particular switches (cisco and edgeswitch) the Ports that were down were not showing up on the device_status_boxes. Which is what I expected. But today the equipment at that site was power cycled when we switched over to generator backup while the electricians hooked up the new auto switch over equipment for the new permanent backup generator. Since then device_status_boxes shows all the down ports and that the devices rebooted. So they will not go away. Other software I used in the past had a mechanism to acknowledge them and they would go away. I can find no such mechanism here to clear these unused ports etc. It has almost eight hours and they are still there What am I doing wrong? -- Arthur Stephens Senior Network Administrator Ptera Inc.

disable SNMP device_status down as offline on frontpage
by niklaas＠0rb.it 23 Feb '18

23 Feb '18

Hello, I recently ran into a kind of inconvenient behaviour with Observium alerting devices as offline when SNMP on Proxmox nodes gets unresponsive. I already created an alert checker including the condition ‘device_status_type match ping’ which is way more reliable for me in such case. Is there a possibility to disable devices shown as offline in ‘Status Warning and Notifications’ on the frontpage when device_status is offline due to SNMP not responding? Kind Regards, N.

Keepalived would be nice too, and has snmp functionality. :) Thanks Andy

Hello Adam, I have a specific question about the authentication options. I red the documentation, but didn`t found information exactly. The issue is our company is going to integrate observium to the official MFA authentication process and need to know if observium could use SAML for the SSO authentication or if it`s big issue. We are using Observium Profesional license. thanks for the answer Jan
