Bandwidth alerts based on value in "Device Port Parsed Speed"
by Brad Bendy 14 Aug '24

14 Aug '24

Hi, Checked around and can't figure out a way to do this and don't see anything in mailing list about it. Is there a way to build alerts based on the bandwidth value we are setting this way? For example we have a description of "[600Mbit]" and then want to alert on 80% of this value for example. I don't see a way to do this as the test conditions are all the parameters from SNMP. Obviously can make up a checker and do the math manually and what not but would not auto adjust and I need 100+ of these created. Would anyone else find this helpful? Thanks

Missing some nice stats from Cisco 9800 that I got from Cisco 5520
by andri＠harpa.is 12 Aug '24

12 Aug '24

Hi Our organization recently upgraded from Cisco 5520 WLC to Cisco 9800 WLC. In observium I get really good statistics about wireless client count and wireless ap count on the 5520 but not on the 9800. I am not sure if this is something on observium side or cisco side. But I wanted to ask if anyone has the same issue and if they found a solution. Or maybe this is just something that needs to be added. Please let me know if there is any further information I can submit. Best regards Andri

Bug report: Broken scaling on some SFP receive power graphs
by Corwin Ziegler Hunts 09 Aug '24

09 Aug '24

Hi Observium team, We're having issues with some of the generated graphs. Some of our devices report the light level received by SFPs using mW (rather than dBm). We are on the latest stable revision (13582). Issue 1: The graphs generated by Observium for these sensors usually show an excessive scale of at least -100 mW to 100 mW when the data in the specified time interval are entirely within the range 100 nW to 1 mW and usually only a small chunk of that. The calculated minimum and maximum values shown below the graph are correct. These graphs worked properly in the past with a prior version of Observium. Issue 2: Selecting and deselecting the Force Autoscale option appears to have no effect on the generated graph or displayed rrd graph command. Manually running the generated rrd graph command after removing the "--alt-autoscale" option results in a good graph. Here is the raw SNMP output for one of the these sensors showing a current value of 0.5560mW: ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB::entPhySensorType.1000004631 = INTEGER: watts(6) ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB::entPhySensorScale.1000004631 = INTEGER: milli(8) ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB::entPhySensorPrecision.1000004631 = INTEGER: 4 ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB::entPhySensorValue.1000004631 = INTEGER: 5560 ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB::entPhySensorOperStatus.1000004631 = INTEGER: ok(1) Corwin

Switch overview: configurable interface sorting?
by Wiethoff, Helge 06 Aug '24

06 Aug '24

Hello everyone, The port sorting in the device overview has been changed at some point. Previously, it was sorted alphanumerically, but now the numbers are prioritized. Before, the order was A1, A2, A3..., B1, B2, B3, etc. And now it is A1, B1, A2, B2..., A3, B3, etc. Is there a way to change the sorting back to the old method using a configuration switch? Thank you and best regards Helge

Missing rebuild buttons for groups and alert checkers
by Corwin Ziegler Hunts 05 Aug '24

05 Aug '24

Hi, We use Observium groups extensively, often nested several times. Our alert checkers then reference these groups. After making changes to a group, including by adding a device, we used to force rebuilds of the groups (possibly several times) and checkers so the changes would propagate all the way through. We are on the latest stable revision (r13582) and the rebuild buttons are no longer available in the UI (possibly removed in r13391). What should we do now when we need to forcibly propagate changes?

Oxidized Integration?
by Wiethoff, Helge 05 Aug '24

05 Aug '24

Hi, I am currently testing a replacement for rancid. Rancid has worked for a long time, but adding new device classes feels more and more unwieldy. Oxidized [1] makes a good first impression and I was able to add new device classes without big problems. Then of course I would also like to see an integration with my favorite network management tool :-) There are people who have already worked on this: https://github.com/colin-stubbs/observium-oxidized It looks like this patch doesn't quite work for current observium versions, so I'd like to ask if anyone is working on it and what are the chances that there could be an Observium integration (professional edition)? Thanks Helge [1] https://github.com/ytti/oxidized

Polling - Real time port graphs are different on devices that run Linux natively
by ruben.aninoiu＠zananet.com 01 Aug '24

01 Aug '24

Hi Guys, I have noticed that the real-time graphs for devices that run Linux natively (JunosOS, UnifiOS, etc) display the traffic with "intervals in between". The non-native Linux devices (FortiOS, Cisco IOS) provide a nicer real-time graph for port traffic when polled. Is there something that could be adjusted so that the native Linux devices show the nicer graph? Best regards, Ruben

Many devices shown as down(dns)
by Marios.P＠crowe.com.cy 19 Jul '24

19 Jul '24

Hello all, I can see in my observium installation that many devices changed their status to down(dns). This is a new installation and we migrated the configuration yesterday on a new server and devices were working properly. At around the same time (14:20:00) a lot of our machines changed their status to down. The message in the Event log is "Device status changed to Down (dns)". I tried to find what the problem may be but I can see SNMP are correct and dns records exist for the systems. Any ideas? Thank you, Marios

Apache / https hung after updating Observing
by Roger Larsen 24 Jun '24

Dear Observium Community We have for several times experienced problem after Obsevium Professional update. Today we updated from 24.4.13501 to 24.6.13582 (by using $ svn update & $ ./discovery.php -u) OS CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core) updated today w/ kernel: 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 After restarting server we struggle logging in to WebGUI. Apache /httpd is complaining on “to many concurrent connections”. Are there any suggestion on how to update Observium without getting these problems? Any householding processes needed for a better update? Or maybe we need to be more patient and give the server some more minutes after update?

LDAP - Synology
by Lanham Rattan 07 Jun '24

07 Jun '24

I believe I have LDAP sort of working. I am trying to authenticate against a Synology LDAP server. When I use debug mode I see debug info for invalid users and bad passwords but if I enter a proper user and password there is no debug information and I get the error message “User is disabled”. So, I believe I am missing something. Beyond the server bindings I have these settings: $config['auth_ldap_prefix'] = "uid"; $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",dc=clearnetworx,dc=com"; $config['auth_ldap_groupbase'] = "dc=clearnetworx,dc=com"; $config['auth_ldap_groups']['Observium-Users']['level'] = 5; $config['auth_ldap_groupmembertype'] = "fulldn"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmemberattr'] = "memberOf";

Cisco ASA stopped reporting port metrics
by Tony Guadagno 24 May '24

24 May '24

Hi, around October 2023 all my asa graphs start looking like this: [cid:image001.jpg@01DAAD26.4CD63480] All my port counters are zero from then on. I have 17 asa's and they all are behaving this way. It is very possible about that time, I applied an update to the asa's. Can someone give me some steps to troubleshoot this, so I can figure out if cisco actually broke something, or if there is an observium issue.... Much appreciated Tony Guadagno

Unknown Ports Showing Down.
by lawrence＠e2snail.com 11 May '24

11 May '24

I am very sorry but I am new to Observium and I don't really know how to ask this question. This also means that I have tried but cannot find questions of issues similar to what I am asking. I have a Unifi network. This question happens on all my switches. Is there a way to send a screenshot of what I am seeing. Basically I have an 8 port switch as can be seen below. Each of the physical ports are showing good, apart from port 8 where nothing is connected, but everything from 3/5 up to 3/26 are all down. what are all these ports and where do they source from. Is there a way to suppress them, and have them not showing.

NEWBIE Question: Global MIB Configuration
by lawrence＠e2snail.com 11 May '24

11 May '24

I am looking through the Global MIB Configuration and I see loads and loads of MIBs that are not used within my infrastructure. Things like Cisco, and A3COM, and many more. My question is two fold. The first is, is it good practise to disable non-used MIBS Then my second question is, is there a way to mass update the disabling of MIBS. The issue is, if I select a MIB and click disable, then the page refreshes and goes to teh top of the page. This is annoying for many because there are very many MIBs that I would like to disable. Thanks in advance for a GREAT product. Keep it up. Thanks Lawrence

All, I would like some help with the UNIX Agent. I have been able to get the agent up and running on the device and listen on port 36602 which in turn the Observium server can communicate with. I have UNIX Agent turned on in Obervium config and the server does show me a button to turn on "BIND" with a slider button. When I slide the BIND button to ON and press save Observium says "No Application found on this device." I have provided screenshots. What am I missing because I am close to getting this working.

Hello Mrs. / Mr, I'm contacting you regarding our new project to Upgrade our Observium version for the Laposte Company. We would like to find an Observium contact to Discuss and exchange because we'd like to present the Professional Version Of Observium to our colleagues, in order to integrate it in our IT system. We are actually with the Free version of Observium and we were wondering if we may have access to a temporary Professional version of Observium in order to present its benefits, before actually buying it and install it Best regards BESANCON Damien INETUM pour la poste / DSI Groupe La Poste Administrateur réseau CDS LAN DC CENTRE DE SERVICES MUTUALISES SI - CSMSI SERVICES TELECOM, RESEAU & SECURITE Département Exploitation Services Télécom, Réseau & Sécurité 9 rue Konrad Adenauer, 44300 Nantes [Une image contenant texte Description générée automatiquement] Ce message est classifié: [] C0-Public [] C1-Interne [X] C2-Restreint[] C3-Confidentiel Diffusion Restreinte aux groupes ou catégories de personnes identifiées .

status field in devices table
by Eric W. Bates (he) 10 Apr '24

10 Apr '24

I have 2 Palo Alto firewalls which dropped off the map at the same time about 25 days ago. I think it may have coincided with an Observium upgrade; but I didn't write down update particulars and I don't think Observium maintains a history? When I run discovery with debug there is a SQL query posted (which fails) attempting to lookup the device: SQL[SELECT * FROM `devices` WHERE `disabled` = 0 AND `hostname` LIKE 'vpn01-p.{redacted}' AND `status` = '1' AND `poller_id` = '0' ORDER BY `last_discovered_timetaken` ASC] In this case, the query fails because "status" is actually set to 0. So what is the "status" field for in the "devices" table and how is it set 'wrong?' There is a "statuses" tab in the web GUI for the device's "properties", but in this case (a PAN firewall) there are 2 MIB entries for indicating the fail-over status of the device pair ("HA State" and "HA Peer State"); so I don't think they have anything to do with the "status" field in the DB. -- Clark 159a 508/289-3112

Problems with downgrade from commercial edition to community edition
by observium-mailing-list＠centropolis.net 03 Apr '24

03 Apr '24

Hi, my company was using Observium (Subsciption Edition, SE) for quite a long time so I wanted to stick with Observium for my private lab. Since I have just some private Mikrotik routers and APs in the lab, the commercial edition might be way too mighty for my ~ 10 devices. So I tried to get the old installation downgraded to the CE edition. There was a hint on Observium's website a long time ago but I was not able to find it anymore. So I tried the idea from the current webpage (starting from Community Edition): Since I had an old Mariadb installation, I had to upgrade to Mariadb10.6.17 as well during installation. After I updated the databases with |/opt/observium/discovery.php -u | and made a full discovery with |/opt/observium/discovery.php -h all | |But I ran in trouble with the installation: | |So, my downgrade does not work this way. And yes, I got a backup of the previous installation ;-) | | | | | |I think, this derives from the information, that the CE Version does not support groups (?), but this is just a guess. | | | | | |So basically, I have two questions:| |1. Is there a recipe to downgrade from commercial to community edition? | |2. Would'nt it make sense to have an subscription edition limited to private / home lab (aka advanced private users) users with a limitation in the max. amount of devices? I think, the SE is a little bit too expensive to private installations. And yes, therefore is a CE, but therefore I would need to downgrade which did not work out for me.| | | |Cheers,| |John | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | || ||

span port on hp switch alerts as down....why?
by Tony Guadagno 22 Mar '24

22 Mar '24

Hi, I have created a simple checker to notify on some specific ports. The way I built it is that I include the word "alert" on the description. The checker parses that and alerts if that port goes down. This is working fine for the most part...except on one port. On my switch, C8 is a fiber 10gig port and it is up as shown here: Status and Counters - Port Counters for port C8 Name : random span port MAC Address : eaaaa3-cd9bb8 Link Status : Up Port Enabled : Yes [cid:image002.jpg@01DA7C37.EF9B2A60] However, the checker lists it as down: [cid:image009.jpg@01DA7C37.EF9B2A60] The test conditions are pretty simple: [cid:image010.jpg@01DA7C37.EF9B2A60] The only difference between the ports that work and C8 are; it is 10gig fiber and it is a span port...do either of these issues explain why this port is listed as down (only by the checker)??? Thanks in advance! Tony Guadagno O +1 585 577 1003 C +1 585 703 6700 E tonyg(a)guadagnoconsulting.com<mailto:tonyg@guadagnoconsulting.com> [cid:image001.jpg@01D84DD6.FC9912E0]

Capture gaps when retrieving interface traffic data …
by Stefan Schmidt 19 Mar '24

19 Mar '24

Hello! We query with snmp Observium the port data from a Mikrotik router (CCR2004-16G-2S+) with RouterOS 7.14.1 (Level 6) via SNMP from 4 WAN interfaces with polling and alerts. However, we always have gaps in the data. Every now and then 5-10 minutes of data are missing, so that vertical lines without data appear in the rrd - of course this only becomes clear in the 6h overview. We are surprised because we have the impression that it only started on this device (and others) almost a year ago. We therefore renewed the hardware, reinstalled the system (debian12) and only queried this router alone (also deleted the query from the old Observium to avoid parallel double queries). We look at https://.../pollerlog/ and see our patient there: Device Last Polled 10.X.X.1 100% 108.67s (...) and others of the location with 1-19%... Why 100%... where are the key data relevant here? We would be happy if someone could help us adjust the Observium "Poller Wrapper" parameters if necessary. Is there potential for adaptation there? Greetings Frankfurt/Main Stefan

Alert checker conditions
by David Milton 18 Mar '24

18 Mar '24

Hello, I'm attempting to create an alert checker for our router and switch power supplies. I seem to be part way there but am seeing some unexpected behaviour that I cannot explain. I started with the test condition: sensor_event notequals ok and the associations are "or:" Sensor Description match PEM* Sensor Description match Power Supply 0 @* Sensor Description match Power Supply 1 @* Here's a specific device inventory showing PEM 0 status is currently down: It seems the last two associations don't mach anything and for some reason the PEM* association only matches the power supplies that are ok, not the one I want the alert for which is currently down. I've tried to match against "Power Supply" and that matches power supplies in my servers but they don't seem to have a status, more like a current sensor instead. I'm attempting to deal strictly with the power supplies in our Juniper routers and switches and from what I can tell they all have a status/sensor_event state. I think the two "Power Supply 0 @*" associations should also match additional power supplies as shown in the list below taken from the hardware inventory and filtering for a description of Power Supply: Clearly I'm missing something en the alert checker associations but I'll be darned if I can figure out what that is. I've tried to match on MIB as well but nothing seems to match those power supplies. What am I missing here? Thanks, Dave.

jnxVirtualChassisMemberLocation for Juniper Virtual-Chassis
by Laszlo Mazsari 04 Mar '24

04 Mar '24

Hello Observium Team, In our Datacenters we would like to make use of "jnxVirtualChassisMemberLocation" for Juniper switches using Virtual-chassis techhnology. Normally virtual-chassis are in different locations for redundancy reasons. The "snmp location" is not really good to capture the location of the device (as the two switches are in different places but location will show what is configured with "snmp location" command). We updated our switch config with "jnxVirtualChassisMemberLocation" information, but we still dont see the data in Observium. > show snmp mib walk jnxVirtualChassisMemberLocation jnxVirtualChassisMemberLocation.0 = B-U-099 R01.01 jnxVirtualChassisMemberLocation.1 = B-U-098 R01.02 Is this feature on the roadmap to be added? Not sure how much additional work this feature to be added, but going for the Enterprise model may potentially help with this feature request? Thank you for the feedback.

Upgrading O/S of Observium Server - Debian 10 to 11 (or 12)
by Andy Hartwell 15 Feb '24

15 Feb '24

Advice please ! 😊 I have a server which has been running Observium well for some time. Although upgrading the Observium build is easy enough following the instructions at Updating - Observium<https://docs.observium.org/updating/#upgrading-the-subscription-edition-to-…> this obviously does not update the O/S itself. I had a try at upgrading following online instructions yesterday but after he upgrade was complete the Observium web interface would not display – I just got a page of text which I assumed to be PHP script being displayed rather than “running”. Does anyone have any idiot proof (ie aimed at Linux novice) guidance to upgrade the OS without breaking Observium ? Luckily I had taken a snapshot of the VM so could roll back without any drama. Thanks, Andy Hartwell

sysLocation gets rewritten
by Martin 13 Feb '24

13 Feb '24

Hello, I am experiencing something I don't understand. During polling of a host the syslocation -which is returned correctly by snmp- gets changed into another location (which is an old location before moving from "Address B" to "Address A"). $ /usr/bin/snmpget -v3 -l 'authPriv' -n '' -x 'AES' -X 'passwd' -a 'SHA' -A 'passwd' -u 'username' -Pud -Ih -OQUs --hexOutputLength=0 -m SNMPv2-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp 'udp':'HostName':'161' sysUpTime.0 sysLocation.0 sysUpTime.0 = 0:8:31:49.72 sysLocation.0 = "Address A" This is the correct address returned. A few lines lower in my debugging output I see: sysLocation rewritten from 'Address A' to 'Address B' by DB override. Even if I change the address in mysql to the correct address the polling process keeps changing it to the old address. MariaDB [observium]> select hostname, location from devices where device_id=9811; +-------------------------+--------------+ | hostname | location | +-------------------------+--------------+ | HostName | Address B | +-------------------------+--------------+ My questions: - Why is this happening? - How can I prevent this from happening? - Where does the old address come from? I hope someone can shed some light on this strange issue... Thanks, Martin

24 Jan '24

Hi, I am just noticing that my Cisco ASA's poll really slow. While all my other infrastructure seems to poll about 5 to 7 sec per device, the ASA's all take 50 to 60 sec. Does anyone know why this is and maybe how to speed things up? Thanks Tony Guadagno O +1 585 577 1003 C +1 585 703 6700 E tonyg(a)guadagnoconsulting.com<mailto:tonyg@guadagnoconsulting.com> [cid:image001.jpg@01D84DD6.FC9912E0]

Re: Aruba Instant AP wireless info? (clients, etc)

I’d be happy to help however I can with this.. I'd really like to be able to see some information from my APs around usage/clients/errors/etc.... if you want more mib walks i can update the jira ticket with them again? but im not sure there will be much else to glean as not much has changed here.. if that's jus not gonna happen .... for.... whatever reason ... is there a vendor whose APs *ARE* well supported? I'd kinda figured this would be a solved problem.... or at least, wouldn't still be an issue several years later. is there anything I can do to help get traction here?

PowerDNS Recursive Server application
by Kevin Riahi 17 Jan '24

17 Jan '24

What is the process for support on applications for observium subscribers? In this case the PowerDNS Recursive Server application. Should we reach out to the original author. In this case the script is very simple and it seems it has no documented authors. The issue is the script is no longer working even though it was in the past. It may be because PowerDNS Recursive Server 4.8 has made permission changes to /var/run/pdns-recursor/pdns_recursor.controlsocket Testing the script /usr/lib/observium_agent/local/powerdns-recursor and it will execute with below error. <<<app-powerdns-recursor>>> Fatal: Unable to connect to remote '/var/run/pdns-recursor/pdns_recursor.controlsocket': Permission denied Here is the powerdns-recursor script . #!/bin/sh recctrl=`which rec_control` if [ $? -eq 0 ] then echo '<<<app-powerdns-recursor>>>' $recctrl get-all fi TIA Kevin

RRD went missing after interface description change, screwing up billing.
by smiller＠fasttrackcomm.net 16 Jan '24

16 Jan '24

Hey there, I have a bundle ether interface that had its interface description change, and now when I'm viewing the bill summary which keys to this bundle ether interface, the graphs are missing, and if I hover over the port under "billed ports" in the bill information section, I get 4 of the same error: ERROR: opening '/opt/observium/rrd/<<IP>>/port-113.rrd': No such file or directory. I go into the server and sure enough there is no port-113.rrd in that directory. Also, the port description name under the billed ports section shows the old interface description still. I have another bundle ether that also had an updated interface description and that one is fine, and the port description is updated correctly on the billing page. How do I fix this? It seems like maybe data is still getting successfully pulled because the Used counts are increasing along with the average. What would happen if I created an empty port-113.rrd file in the directory, and why would this file have gone missing? Thanks for any help you can provide. -Seth

SNMP sysLocation NeDi format
by Brad Bendy 08 Jan '24

08 Jan '24

I found a post from 2014 showing the NeDi format works when using the Google API. I have tried a few different variations of it but under the location it shows a location for each device as the rack unit is different per device. Is this not supported and we should just do the physical location and not deal with the rack and rack unit or I am missing something? I thought before I had used () or [] in the location and the map parsing still worked but I don't see that in the docs anywhere. Thanks

PHP Weathermap Integration
by Adam Armstrong 03 Jan '24

03 Jan '24

Hi Guys, We added PHP Weathermap into Observium ~2 years ago, but the enabling option wasn't documented because there was an odd javascript bug breaking the UI. It turns out the bug was the same variable name being used in two completely separate bits of code, causing a clash. Typical Javascript. This is fixed now and it mostly functions, so I've unhidden the enabling option in the web-based config. $config['weathermap']['enable'] = TRUE; It works slightly differently to the original weathermap, it generates maps on the fly and is a little better integrated into the UI. It retains all of the old issues though, the weathermap code is very, very old and should not be enabled on installs untrusted people have access to. Thanks, adam. -- Sent from Postbox <https://www.postbox-inc.com/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=siglink&utm_campai…>

xinetd not supported on RHEL 9, use systemd instead

Hi, as xinetd is not provided for RHEL 9, I wrote a couple of systemd units to make this work.

Traffic accounting not working anymore
by Anthony Polselli 13 Dec '23

13 Dec '23

We recently built a new server with Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS and migrated Observium over. Everything seams to be working fine except for the Traffic Accounting. On the summary screen, it shows data from months ago (just before the upgrade), but when you click on one of the "bills" and look at the bandwidth graph, it's blank. I've tried adding a new bill and it same thing, no data. But if I click on the interface and go the that switch port, all the graphs are there. How can I reconnect the Traffic Accounting to pull data from the switchport graphs again? Thanks all!

is there an alert kill switch?
by Tony Guadagno 28 Nov '23

Hi, when my Microsoft servers patch monthly, they often reboot and that causes an alert that is unnecessary for me. Is there a way (maybe a script I could write) that would disable alerting?

Security Questions

27 Nov '23

Hello, I am deploying Observium into a secured environment and I've a few questions. * What security measures are in place to protect subscription SVN branch? * Does SVN do any checksums or hashing of the code after it is checkout to the client to ensure no malicious attempts were made in transit? * Is there a contact name and email we can document in cases where we need to get direct support? * Is there a regular notification mechanism for updates to Observium? E.g. via the mailing list or blog post? In other words, how do we find out about new security patches? Thanks for any and all help. Matt

WMI Polling shows only 3 services
by Scott Kohnert 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

First time posting and hopes that someone can assist. Been using Subscription version of Observium for over 10 years collecting data on over 150 server farm using it daily and have been asked to now add monitoring of Windows Services. I started to do this via Probes and SNMP checks but due to the shear volume of services and servers involved this would be a tedious process. I would like to use WMI to monitor Windows Services as it appears to poll faster. Unfortunately I ran into an issue where it only displays 3 services at a time. Windows Server has over 200 services by default, I don’t plan on monitoring all of them but at least a couple dozen. Using WMI would be a much easier way to setup alerts if I could get the full listing to appear, which is where I am needing help. Here is my setup to reproduce the issue (generalized information used for security) Follow the WMI setup in the help documentation for my UB 22.04 server Global Settings > Polling > WMI (turn on) Server discovered via SNMP Open Properties of Server and edit WMI information (per server polling only no global settings) WMI Hostname = nacn_ip_TCP:hostname.domain.local[sign] WMI Domain= domain WMI Username = username WMI Password = password After a couple of minutes, I get the results of only showing 3 services not a full list. AllJoyn Router Service Remote Desktop Service Themes I have tried this on multiple servers and the same 3 services appear each time. I began to look into the code and run the wmic query on the web server itself using the following query wmic -U “domain\username%password” //ncacn_ip_TCP:hostname.domain.local[sign] “select DisplayName, Name, State, Status from Win32_Service” It gave me the full listing results and from what I can see this is where the issue lies. CLASS: Win32_Service DisplayName|Name|State|Status AllJoyn Router Service|AJRouter|Stopped|OK Application Layer Gateway Service|ALG|Stopped|OK Application Identity|AppIDSvc|Stopped|OK … Telephony|tapisrv|Stopped|OK CLASS: Win32_TerminalService DisplayName|Name|State|Status Remote Desktop Services|TermService|Running|OK CLASS: Win32_Service DisplayName|Name|State|Status Themes|Themes|Running|OK Storage Tiers Management|TieringEngineService|Stopped|OK … The first item of the WMI services is the AllJoyn Router Service, then about halfway down the listing it produces a different CLASS:Win32_TerminalService and the headers. Then it has Remote Desktop Services and starts again with CLASS:Win32_Service and headers again, and the third entry to be displayed Themes. Looking through the code I think the issue resides in the /opt/observium/includes/wmi.inc.php code and the function wmi_parse. This is the function that is used (from what I can back trace) for performing the parsing of the WMI call and populating the database with the WMI entries. But when running the mysql query for the services listing it only shows these 3 listed and not all the services that the manual query performed on the server displays. I would like to ask if someone can look into the WMI process and check the coding to allow the WMIC query to populate ALL the service results in the web site. As a separate test I also went into the Global Settings > Discovery > WMI AutoDiscoveryOptions and added in several services manually (list of 10) not including the Remote Desktop Services and the results I get on the Windows Services tab show the Remote Desktop Services. So the 2nd CLASS that appears for this service appears to be causing the issue. Any help is appreacited.

Questions about Observium Enterprise Support
by Johan Carlander 31 Oct '23

31 Oct '23

Hi, I’ve been trying to find more detailed info about Observium Enterprise Support, does anyone here has such an agreement and can share the details? All I can find on the web page says: “Included Enterprise-grade email & live support: Yes, 10 hours” So I take it that means that up to 10 hours of live support is included, what will be the cost per hour for support after those 10 hours? I cannot find any definition of what live support is, I would guess that it means some sort of online meeting with screen sharing but it would good to have it in writing so we know what to expect. Is there any SLA for response time for new support tickets, for example within 4 hours or Next Business day? Thanks in advance.
