Polling/alerts
by Hermes J. Martinez 11 Jan '18

11 Jan '18

Hello everyone, I am new to Observium and I have a question, can someone explain to me how the polling works? And the email alerts are sent when the device is down/up(Recover) or when the polling time is met? For example: In the next image I have two cases at 9:37am I received the email for the alert and for the recovery (this is normal or I need to check somethings in the config?) Thank you! kind Regards Hermes J.

stopping queued alerts
by Edvinas K 10 Jan '18

10 Jan '18

Hello, Recently we had a case when network infrastructure went down, and only after some time we fixed it. Observium noticed it and everything was OK. But in meantime of fixing it - Observium started to flood with alerts - this may be the correct case. But after we repaired the network - and everything was OK, we still had a flood of old errors and it continued about an hour or so. I tried to disable email alerts through config.php, supress all alerts through WEB interface - but nothing helped. So is there any manual way to stop the Alerting queue ? Thanks

Monitoring interfaces is about as industry standard as it gets. If we're not picking up a port, it's because your device is bizarrely not exposing it.

exclude or skip wildcard match for poller and discovery
by Richard Wigzell 10 Jan '18

10 Jan '18

Hello, We are currently running Pro r8993 with 650+ devices and will be adding another 400 or so shortly, to support this we will try a deployment as described in some detail by Markus: http://blog.best-practice.se/2017/10/scaling-observium-horizontally.html We do however also have another edge case to deal with in the form of an infrastructure that we cannot look into but can send out of, the inhibitor is political and not technical. We are halfway to solving it technically however by using a poller remotely with wildcard host name matching as the 'remote' stuff has a common domain part. Our other 'normal' pollers however need to be told to exclude or skip polling / discovery of the remote devices. Can a wildcard skip or exclude be added to the poller-wrapper script for this purpose? Picture attached for reference.

Missing EngineID
by Alberto Busso 09 Jan '18

09 Jan '18

Hi all, I am a new user of observium and I am doing some tests with few devices before deploying it on a wider network. When I try to add my first device (with -d option), it only partially works. In the log I have only this error: CMD[/usr/bin/snmpget -v2c -c *** -Pu -OQv -m SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp 'udp':'172.16.192.102':'161' snmpEngineID.0] CMD EXITCODE[0] CMD RUNTIME[0.0324s] CMD EXITDELAY[10ms] STDOUT[ No Such Object available on this agent at this OID ] SNMP STATUS[FALSE] SNMP ERROR[#1000 - Failed response] So, it seems I am not getting the EngineID object. Then at the end of the log I have this: SQL[INSERT INTO `devices` (`hostname`,`sysName`,`status`,`snmp_community`,`snmp_port`,`snmp_transport`,`snmp_version`,`os`,`snmpEngineID`,`location`,`sysContact`) VALUES ('172.16.192.102','Terlapini RB Sottotetto','1','public','161','udp','v2c','routeros','','Gussago','Elsy')] SQL RUNTIME[0.04079700s] Devices failed: 1. So, it seems that the script will try to add the device but with an empty EngineID field. The result is that the device is added (e.g. I can see it in the device when accessing e.g. via web interface, but when I click on it, it does not show up in the list with a reply that there are no devices matching the search criterias). I also noticed that if I try to add a second device with same EngineID problem, the SQL INSERT will fail with ' duplicate key' error. I have the impression that the EngineID is used as a unique key in the SQL DB and if it is empty this may cause problems. Am I right? In this case, I have to understand why I cannot get the EngineID from the device. Tnx Alberto

Graphing BIND with multiple views?
by Stephen Fulton 07 Jan '18

07 Jan '18

Hi all, I'm trying to graph BIND stats, which the normal method works well, but in this case the recursive-only server has multiple views configured and the stats returned by RNDC are broken into categories based on views. The Observium "Server Statistics" page looks accurate, but the Resolving and Queries page have almost data recorded (some data in "Errors" and "Incoming Queries" respectively, but not complete in either section). Has anyone dealt with this before? Thanks, -- Stephen

Hello, we are running Observium Pro with the following and nested AD group enumeration does not seem to be working. [cid:image002.png@01D3856C.B5B0A050] We have it enabled in the config.php but only Users in the top level groups specified in the config['auth_ldap_group'] array show up, if put a group with users into one of the groups in config['auth_ldap_group'] then nothing.

Re: [Observium] HSRP event tracking
by Pedersen, Sean 04 Jan '18

I don't believe there is an HSRP tracker. It's definitely not in the sensor entity type.

Alerts on Aggregate values or sums?
by Darrell Budic 02 Jan '18

02 Jan '18

Bit of an RFE here, would like to be able to alert on the aggregate value for a group, or do sums in the alert checker test field, unless I’m just missing how to do this? My particular use check is adding up the total power for a 3 phase PDU (and a group for the power panel), and alerting if the total watts or amps are greater than 80% of the circuit capacity. Total Power Output on my APC 3 phase PDUs doesn’t work for me here because it’s dependent on the power factor of the connected devices, and that isn’t readily available in observium. Even if it was, I’d still need math (division this time) on two values. Sums/aggregates seem like the easiest route for this task. Thanks, -Darrell

NetFlow Recommendation

Afternoon All, We recently purchased Observium after a recommendation from our Network Engineer, what Netflow software would you recommend to use alongside Observium? If you know any Open Source ones, that'd be awesome. I came across Nfsen but it's a tad too old. Also I have Observium talking to 6 out of 8 of my routers and SNMP is turned on on all of them. If you require any info please let me know. There are 7 Cisco x 1 Juniper routers and the affected routers are Cisco.

Multi year history
by Attila Nagy 19 Dec '17

19 Dec '17

Hi everyone! I was wondering about whether there is a recommended/approved/tested/tolerated way or plan of creating multi-year history (RRD data)? To reformulate it, changing the day/week/month/year history into something like day/week/month/year/10years... It's not a show-stopper, but sometimes there is demand to show or analyze historical data for more than 1 year in the past. Regards, Tylla

Problem with special characters on device descriptions / snmp location etc...
by Javier Valero 11 Dec '17

11 Dec '17

Hello We are using Observium CE as part of our monitoring systems at IslaLink / OranLink. A few weeks ago, we updated to the last CE version (17.9.0). Since then, we are experiencing problems with the interface descriptions that may contain some especial characters like “áóéñ…”. It also happens with the SNMP location string. Seems that this was an old bug that was already solved: Observium OBS-1396 UTF-8/ISO characters fail in SNMP location This is causing some events flood, and incorrect display. I attach some captures: [cid:image001.png@01D35C8C.F9C1C980][cid:image002.png@01D35C8C.F9C1C980] We tried to remove all special characters, but sometimes it’s not possible or easy. May this bug have emerged again? Thank you. Best regards.

I checked the graph for this server and I see no downtime. Thanks, Joe Brouillette Computer Systems Specialist Link Transit 509.664.7643 jobee(a)linktransit.com<mailto:jobee@linktransit.com>

Aggregate vs individual port graph maximum value & 95th % on bits graph
by Sean Pedersen 04 Dec '17

04 Dec '17

I have two graph questions that I haven't been able to get an answer on via IRC, so I thought this might be easier since I can include more information up front: 1st Question: A 2-port aggregate graph (agg_bits.png) shows a maximum value based on :AVERAGE while individual port graphs (port1_bits.png, port2_bits.png) for the ports that make up the aggregate show a maximum value based on :MAX. Is this intentional? If not, would it be possible to remove or toggle graphing average vs. maximum data on individual port graphs? I think both data points are useful, but in general when providing graphs the 5-minute average the only data we'd want to show them. More data below. 2nd Question: The "bits_old" graph includes 95th % both graphed and in the legend. Would it be possible to get the same for the other bits graphs, or at minimum, just bits? I did some digging and didn't find a means to use options via graphs.php to generate it myself. Question 1 data: An aggregate graph (bits) takes the :AVERAGE inbound and outbound of the two ports, using that data to create the graph and populate the legend (min/max/avg, etc.): DEF:in0=/opt/observium/rrd/dce01.01.mmr01/port-10.rrd:INOCTETS:AVERAGE DEF:out0=/opt/observium/rrd/dce01.01.mmr01/port-10.rrd:OUTOCTETS:AVERAGE DEF:in1=/opt/observium/rrd/dce02.01.mmr02/port-10.rrd:INOCTETS:AVERAGE DEF:out1=/opt/observium/rrd/dce02.01.mmr02/port-10.rrd:OUTOCTETS:AVERAGE The individual ports use both :AVERAGE and :MAX. DEF:outoctets=/opt/observium/rrd/dce01.01.mmr02/port-10.rrd:OUTOCTETS:AVERAG E DEF:inoctets=/opt/observium/rrd/dce01.01.mmr02/port-10.rrd:INOCTETS:AVERAGE DEF:outoctets_max=/opt/observium/rrd/dce01.01.mmr02/port-10.rrd:OUTOCTETS:MA X DEF:inoctets_max=/opt/observium/rrd/dce01.01.mmr02/port-10.rrd:INOCTETS:MAX (I didn't include all the CDEFs, AREAS, HRULES, etc. for brevity, but I have copies of each RRD command for reference, if needed.) The "Max" value in the legend reflects the :AVERAGE-based maximum on the aggregate graph and the :MAX-based maximum on the individual graph. Because of this, when compared side-by-side, the values do not match. Aggregate Max: p1_in: 118.25Mb p1_out: 31.95Mb p2_in: 40.15Mb p2_out: 2.61Mb Port 1 Max: p1_in: 304.39Mb p1_out: 98.77Mb Port 2 Max: p2_in: 90.94Mb p2_out: 14.05Mb -- Thanks, skpio

Ciena SAOS thresholds using incorrect OIDs
by Erik Muller 03 Dec '17

03 Dec '17

We recently added some Ciena 3942s and 3904s to our monitoring, and found that Observium (CE 17.9.8859) is picking up the wrong OID for some sensors. It seems that the same OID was reused for a couple of checks where they should have been the next in sequence, causing optics Tx power and voltage to not be properly checked. The below change syncs the checks with the correct MIB values, and fixed the false alarms it was generating for us. thanks, -e admin@nms:~$ diff -ub /opt/observium/includes/discovery/sensors/wwp-leos-port-xcvr-mib.inc.php.orig /opt/observium/includes/discovery/sensors/wwp-leos-port-xcvr-mib.inc.php --- /opt/observium/includes/discovery/sensors/wwp-leos-port-xcvr-mib.inc.php.orig 2017-02-01 11:31:13.983653739 -0500 +++ /opt/observium/includes/discovery/sensors/wwp-leos-port-xcvr-mib.inc.php 2017-02-01 15:39:05.687844414 -0500 @@ -59,7 +59,7 @@ foreach ($oids as $index => $entry) { $entry['descr'] = dbFetchCell("SELECT `ifDescr` FROM `ports` WHERE `device_id` = ?

Grouping both ends of Core P2P links into single Graph
by Andrew Lemin 30 Nov '17

30 Nov '17

Hi, We are evaluating Observium at the moment, and we have many point-to-point links in our WAN as everyone should ;) Each end of the same p2p link is labeled to be identical; interface Te1/1/1 description CORE:DeviceA=DeviceB This results in two graphs in Observium. One for DeviceA (labelled "CORE:DeviceA=DeviceB") and one for DeviceB (labelled "CORE:DeviceA=DeviceB"). However as they are connected back-to-back to each other they show the exact same information (just "in" and "out" reversed obviously). Is it possible to merge these two ports/graphs into a single logical Core link? This would significantly save on screen real estate (halving the Core page at the least) and make tracing paths through the network much more logical. Similar to how the Customer graphs aggregate multiple ports with the same description together. But I guess throwing away one side of the link maybe? Details for each end could still be seen on the specific device's page to view locally significant things like port errors etc Thanks, Andy.

Hi all - I've noticed that some of my devices display an option to connect directly via SSH etc. as per attached screenshot but unfortunately not all devices provide this option.

How to trigger of checkpoint FW state in observium?
by Steve Costaras 22 Nov '17

22 Nov '17

We're running observium pro stable release 17.10.8930 and are monitoring several checkpoint firewalls with it. I'm trying to figure out how to generate an alert when the firewalls fail over or when a state change occurs. I see that it's being polled as it's displayed for the device header. as you can see attached. This comes from checkpoint from the 1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.5.6.0 OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.5.6.0 = STRING: "active" But I don't see any method to select that as an entity type? Anyone have any pointers?

I have opened the openvpn server management port by adding 1st line as "management 10.100.115.220 49000 /etc/openvpn/pass.txt and then restarted openvpn and xinetd. When i checked using netstat on openvpn server the server is listening on tcp port 49000.{{}} i can access the management console of openvpn when i run the following command from my observium server "telnet 10.100.115.220 49000" followed by a password. But i cannot see the graphs of load and users connected in the Web GUI. I have checked RRD folder also of the device there is no rrd file named openvpn.rrd or so. The unix agent is already added to observium server and when i do "telnet 10.100.115.220 36602 | grep openvpn" then i get the following output : (nobody,223056,32312,0.2) /usr/sbin/openvpn --config vpn-routing.conf --daemon vpn-routing (nobody,195680,15056,2.3) /usr/sbin/openvpn --daemon --writepid /var/run/openvpn/vpn-bridge.pid --cd /etc/openvpn/ --config vpn-bridge.conf But i cannot see the graphs in web gui someone please help.

ASR-9000 PSU Status / Alarms
by Robert Williams 17 Nov '17

17 Nov '17

Hi all, Just noticed a strange problem with reporting alarms on the ASR9001 (XR5.3.4). A lab router was reloaded and when it came back up there is a "Major" chassis alarm as one of the two PSUs has failed. However, neither the PSU failure nor the 'MAJ' alarm status are detected by Observium. Even after a full discovery and polling, it is all green and happy on Observium it seems. In fact, it shows only 1 PSU now, even though two are installed and one is in a failed state: (All other 9001 have 2 x "ASR-9001 AC Power Supply" entries here) Console output confirms the fault and the presence of the major alarm, as well as a few different things (like N+1 resilience lost and 'Capacity') which could be used to detect this issue (if they are in Cisco-SNMP-land that is). #show env power R/S/I Modules Capacity Status (W) 0/PS0/M0/* host PM 750 Ok 0/PS0/M1/* host PM 0 Failed <<<<<<<< #show env power <snip> N+1 Supply Protected Capacity Available: Not Protected <<<<<<<< #show environment leds R/S/I Modules LED Status 0/RSP0/* host Critical-Alarm Off host Major-Alarm On <<<<<<<< host Minor-Alarm Off RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:RTR-123(admin)#show env power states Wed Nov 15 16:59:15.135 GMT R/S/I State MaxPower Time Count (1-ON/2-OFF) (W) (YY:WK:DD:HH:MIN:SS) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 0/PS0/M0/* 1 750 00:00:00:00:59:27 1 2 0 00:00:00:00:00:00 0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 0/PS0/M1/* 1 0 00:00:00:00:00:00 0 2 0 00:00:00:00:59:27 1 <<<<<< '2 = Off' so......Can anything be done to tune-up the detection of such issues? In this case it was pure chance I noticed the fault after the reload as I had to be physically in front of it to patch something in. Otherwise I'd not have known. Any ideas? Cheers!

Hello, Observium did a very good job providing such a good application for monitoring network state. I'm very thankful for that. But ofcourse some pieces are missing. For example monitoring of interfaces flap. I wanted to ask - what is you solution to monitor a link flaps ? Do you do SYSLOG monitoring for that ? Or some kind of separate SNMP-TRAP software ? can you give any recommendation ? Thanks

by Edvinas K 13 Nov '17

13 Nov '17

Hello, I think observium can, but not sure how to monitor a Power Supply count on each device. For example every device have 2 PSU's. Even the observium graphs are showing that count. So, how it's possible to add the PSU count as the alert checker ? I think im lost in entities world.. Thanks

Syslog alerting
by Tero Kykkänen 13 Nov '17

13 Nov '17

Hi, We have Observium Version 17.11.8943 installed on a Linux 4.4.0-98-generic [amd64] (Ubuntu 16.04) server. We made syslog integration with syslog-ng and tried to do syslog alerting but we can't get it to work, for some reason it says "No logging alert entries found!". We do see those alerts in the syslog tab but not on the alert tab. [cid:image001.png@01D358A4.9932F210] [cid:image002.png@01D358A4.9932F210] I will happily give more information if needed.

Problem with PoE status indicator on a HPE 5130 switch
by Thomas Stather 10 Nov '17

10 Nov '17

Hi I am having a problem with a PoE status indicator on a switch which is used in our datacenter: Observium: Observium Professional 8930 (stable) Switch: HPE 5130 48G PoE+ 4SFP+ 1-slot HI Switch JH326A This is a switch cluster containing 2 switches via IRF. Initially, PoE was only enabled on the first one but approx. 1 month ago it was enables on the second switch as well. However, the sensor "PoE group 7" (which is used for the second cluster member) shows the status as "off" with a value of 2 (whereas "PoE group 4 " is showing "on" with a value of 1 as it should be). Is this an error maybe and how can i fix this false-positive? Thanks in advance!

Observium Installscript
by Markus Klock 10 Nov '17

10 Nov '17

Hi guys, I got tired of doing the Observium setup everytime when I installed a lot of VMs so I wrote an automatic installscript for installing Observium It works for Ubuntu 14/16 and Debian 8/9 and it also gives you an option to install the unix-agent and have it monitor itself with the Apache and MySQL-app. I would love to have it tested in more environments so if you are about to install an Observium somewhere, please give the script a try. You find the script here: https://github.com/ZerxXxes/observium_installscript (please don't read the code, its a ugly mess) /Markus

generation of false alarm ?
by Edvinas K 10 Nov '17

10 Nov '17

Hello, What could be the reason of the generation of false alarm: *ALERT* Modify <http://10.13.40.217/device/device=382/tab=alert/alert_entry=7751/> *Alert* *MoreThan80PortUtilization* *Entity* *Ethernet1/51 <http://10.13.40.217/device/device=382/tab=port/port=1694030/>* *Descr* NXOS1-ITXx2 *Conditions* ifOutOctets_perc ge 80 (395649) *Metrics* ifInOctets_perc = 11 * ifOutOctets_perc = 395649* *Duration* 10m 8s (2017-11-08 02:18:10) As you coud notice the *ifOutOctets_perc = 395649 * shows some irregular value, which's not on the graphs itself, but the alarm is generated. During migration the migration period from old observium server to new one, at same time we have two observiums running, so older one have the same alerts configured - but that (older one) haven't generated any false alarm. So - waht could be the reason ? Thanks!

Multi-Site
by Ben Filippelli 09 Nov '17

09 Nov '17

Has anyone looked at setting up a multi-site with Observium or do you just setup at different locations? We have about 40 locations many are not connected via VPN because of business need. We were looking at Zenoss because it has a master/slave but really prefer observium setup and simplicity.

Delete an associated Device from an Custom OID
by Oberreiter Andreas 08 Nov '17

08 Nov '17

Hi, according to http://docs.observium.org/customoid/ there should be a delete button next to associated devices in the Custom OID List. This is not the case on my system. Am I missing something? Is there another way to delete an association? My Observium Version 17.10.8930 Kind regards Andreas Oberreiter

resetting sensors doesn't work (Observium 17.5.8580)
by Thomas Stather 08 Nov '17

08 Nov '17

Hi I just noticed that one of our switches produces false positive errors because of incorrectly (auto) set thresholds for its sensors. I then activated "reset sensors" on the sensors page of the device (there were no values for "min" and "max" set, the current temperature of the sensor is 44 degrees). In the log i see: 5m 42s swhp58-04 <https://observium.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/device/device=22/tab=logs/section…> SubCard0 <https://observium.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/device/device=22/tab=health/metri…> Sensor updated (custom): temperature hh3c-entity-ext-mib 2535 SubCard0 [L: Array][Lw: Array][Hw: Array][H: Array] (by user: tstather) 5m 42s swhp58-04 <https://observium.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/device/device=22/tab=logs/section…> SubCard0 <https://observium.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/device/device=22/tab=health/metri…> Sensor updated (custom): temperature hh3c-entity-ext-mib 2534 SubCard0 [L: Array][Lw: Array][Hw: Array][H: Array] (by user: tstather) 5m 42s swhp58-04 <https://observium.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/device/device=22/tab=logs/section…> Board <https://observium.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/device/device=22/tab=health/metri…> Sensor updated (custom): temperature hh3c-entity-ext-mib 2533 Board [L: Array][Lw: Array][Hw: Array][H: Array] (by user: tstather) 5m 42s swhp58-04 <https://observium.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/device/device=22/tab=logs/section…> Board <https://observium.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/device/device=22/tab=health/metri…> Sensor updated (custom): temperature hh3c-entity-ext-mib 2532 Board [L: Array][Lw: Array][Hw: Array][H: Array] (by user: tstather) but the warnings are fired again.

custom oid doesn't work after update
by Laszlo Nemeth 06 Nov '17

06 Nov '17

Hi I updated from an older Observium (85xx) to the latest 8943. I used two devices with 2-2 custom oids. After the upgrade the custom oids not associated to the devices. I tried to re-add it, but when i select the devices in the custom oid setup i got a red message: "ERROR: Unable to add OID association" I found a similar bug that is closed already: http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBS-2445 but looks like it is closed. Which command output is needed for the debug? Thanks Laszlo

question about Observium alert grouping
by Edvinas K 05 Nov '17

05 Nov '17

hello, We're using Observium subscriber edition. I have some devices on which the alerts should be enabled, and on some others don't. Im thinking of creating groups - So for example, is it possible to enable alerts only on selected group ? But no all devices, thanks.
