I've added print_message lines to see if my code is called. When I try another device e.g. a zyxel device I can see my code is executed.

session problems with centos 7, php 70, and latest stable Observium
by Darrell Budic 03 May '17

03 May '17

I’ve recently upgraded a commercial observium install to PHP 7 (from IUS) on Centos 7. Ever since, it’s been dropping my session and requiring a fresh login very very often. Sometimes as soon as I login, the links on the home page are telling me my session has expired, and sometimes everything works fine for hours. More often then not, I’m logged out within an hour though. This happens with basic mysql auth and ldap auth. I don’t see anything in the log files to indicate why the sessions are dropping, is there a debugging setting that can help me figure out what is going wrong? Any known gotchas under php 7.0 for the sessions? Looks like r7476 on the stable tree. Thanks, -Darrell

It start right away with the Enterprise entry's: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.14848.2.1.1.1.0 = STRING: "Version 1.62" Is there a way to add such an device? The values I'm interested in are in the enterprise part of the mib and could be easily retreated by a custom OID. But without an SysObjectId it seems impossible to add a device. Any Suggestions?

Observium doesn't discover Juniper MX properly?
by Marcin Kurek 28 Apr '17

28 Apr '17

Hello all, Today I added first Juniper MX480 to our Observium (Subscription Edition), but for some reason it doesn't discover physical interfaces. Loopbacks are properly discovered. What is interesting, when I look into "Inventory" I can see chassis, PEMs and FPCs. I've seen in the docs that MX960 is supported, so should be MX480. Are there any special knobs I should use to get this working please? Kind regards, Marcin Kurek

Cisco switches showing wrong Packet Size
by Jim Glassford 26 Apr '17

26 Apr '17

Hi, No luck trying to review the Observium Archives see if this was asked before, getting a Not Found off the web link. Running Observium 17.3.8438 (stable), question on MTU size on Cisco interfaces. On our HP ProCurve switches with Jumbo enabled, all displays correctly, see MTU as 9216 on the interfaces as expected. On our Cisco models with Jumbo enabled, MTU shows 1500 on Average Packet Size graph. I believe this is due to Cisco interfaces showing the MTU as 1500 even when Jumbo frames are enabled and are passing Jumbo on the switch interfaces. Seeing this on both Cisco models 2960s and 3K the Average Packet Size found to be 1500. Any chance someone have a work around for this Cisco problem, able to set the MTU up to 9216 for the interfaces? Appreciated! Jim

Device not visible

Hello! We have a device that is no longer visible in Observium. It is not in the device list and the search function can't find it. I tried to add it again to Observium, but get this message: "Already got device xyz." Running "./discovery.php -h xyz" returns this: "WARNING: 0 devices discovered. Did you specify a device that does not exist?" Is there something wrong with our database? How to fix it? Thanks, Siegfried

HyperV CPU usage

19 Apr '17

Hello, I'm running some windows 2016 HyperVs and I'd like to get the CPU usage including the VMs so I can see which HyperV is overloaded and balance them out accordingly but what I get at the moment is just what the host is using which is about 2-5%. I know performance monitor can gather these status so is there any way to get observium to latch on to that CPU stst rather than just what the host is using?

Overview page - Statuses - Down Column issue
by Todd (Tech-Rat) 18 Apr '17

18 Apr '17

Hello all, I am running SVN revision 8457 from 2017-03-19. I noticed that the overview page on the Statuses Row, Down column, showed "2 alert" but when I clicked on the link it would show no entries. After looking at the code and contents of the SQL data I found out that I have two power supplies that have a "down" state. This is accurate. In html/includes/cache-data.inc.php line 439 the switch statement increments the $cache['statuses']['stat']['alert'] variable which is why I see the "2 alert" link which is correct. But the link from html/includes/status-summary.inc.php line 79 says: (Short version) generate_url(array('page' => 'health', 'metric' => 'status', 'event' => 'alert,')) I thought the extra comma after alert was odd but I added down and now the health page shows the two down power supplies. New version: generate_url(array('page' => 'health', 'metric' => 'status', 'event' => 'alert,down')) Thanks for a great product. Todd (Tech-Rat)

Collectd graph tuning
by Jesper Frank Nemholt 18 Apr '17

18 Apr '17

Hi! Not sure if other have the same issue, but my Collectd graphs show up occupying just half of the size compared to normal Observium graphs, plus the font size is so tiny that you can't really read it. I found in /opt/observium/html/includes/collectd/config.php that the following control the size of the graphs, and if I multiply the variable with 2 like in the example below, I get pretty close to the right size : // Array of paths when collectd's rrdtool plugin writes RRDs $config['datadirs'] = array($config['collectd_dir']); // Width of graph to be generated by rrdgraph if(isset($_GET['width'])) { $config['rrd_width'] = $_GET['width'] ** 2*; } else { $config['rrd_width'] = 270; } // Height of graph to be generated by rrdgraph if(isset($_GET['height'])) { $config['rrd_height'] = $_GET['height'] ** 2*; } else { $config['rrd_height'] = 120; } Clearly there should be a more precise way than just multiply with 2....I guess someone this list may know the proper way to solve this ? The other thing that I have not yet solved is the font size. How do I control the size so I can set it to something similar to what Observium uses itself for RRD graphs ? /Jesper

Device polling issue
by Cody Cook 13 Apr '17

13 Apr '17

Hi, I have been using Observium for a long time and I use it in my home. I have a pretty big lab network in my house. I get a lot of equipment for testing from my employer, NETGEAR. My discovery is every 5 minutes and my poller is every 2 or 3 minutes. Anyway, during discovery, the Processors on one of my products, WC9500, is constantly updating the event log, updating all processors to descr Processor vs descr Intel Xeon @ 2.00 GHz. Before I chose to inquire with Observium mailing list, I've been e-mailing back and forth with the wireless controller developers asking them to address the fact that out of all of my devices, the WC9500 is the only device that can't seem to keep the processor right, and keeps spamming my event logs. They immediately want to point blame at Observium, but I won't let them. Anyway, I just thought I'd check to see if anyone has also experienced any similar output during Discovery, and if you can give me any better clues to provide to my developers to show them it is an issue with the device and not Observium. In my testing to see how I could reproduce it, I spammed the device with snmpwalk requests to pull out the processor and it never faulted from "Intel Xeon @ 2.00 GHz", so I wasn't finding "Processor" there. Review screen shot to see event log for the device. Thanks for any assistance. Cody

WMI service query
by Steve Pierce 30 Mar '17

30 Mar '17

Hello, I had a question concerning the WMI implementation in Observium. I’d like to be able to create an alert to track the state of a service. Using the following WMIC command I’m able to view the state of a particular service wmic -U DOMAINNAME/Username%Password //HOSTNAME.DOMAIN.COM "SELECT Name,State FROM Win32_Service where Name='vmicvss'" CLASS: Win32_Service Name|State vmicvss|Stopped Is it possible to turn this command into an alert somehow? I’m currently running the latest release of the Subscription Edition (revision 8449). Thanks, Steve

Different polling frequency for certain graphs

We are using the standard polling frequency of 5min, which is fine for normal (customer) interfaces. But regarding core interface (in our MPLS network) 5 min polling type does not show short outages etc. Is there any way to poll certain graphs (e.g. limited number with a certain tag) with another frequency (e.g. 1 min), Or do I have to have a another observium instance for that? Regards MKS

Fortigate multiple CPU's not showing
by Richard Savage 23 Mar '17

Hi We have lots of fortigates monitored in observium (running rolling version 17.3.8418) and most of them have multiple CPU's (depends which model depends on what CPUs it has). Observium only shows 1 CPU but when looking at the fortigate we can see there are numerous CPU's. (eg. the one ive shown below is a Fortigate 1000D which has 8 CPU's but observium only shows 1). Is this fixable so that observium shows all the CPU's? Observium screenshot: Fortigate screenshot: Many Thanks Rich

Vrf polling question
by Jan Horacek 18 Mar '17

18 Mar '17

Good morning guys during implementation observium I experienced issue with vrf polling I can't solve and also didn't find respective answer in forums. Let me introduce problem itself. We have Cisco based network with big number of vrfs. Every single vrf doesn't have only one RD, but unique RD per device. Even this last octet on all distinguishers is same so for example Vrf 1 on R1 is rd 1.1.1.1 Vrf 1 on R2 is rd 1.1.1.2 Is it possible somehow edit web interface to show all vrfs grouped by name or last rd octet as primary key, because right now I see in observium big bunch duplicated vrfs. Hope my trouble is understandable and some solution exists. Thanks Jan

First time I've run into this issue... I added a device. It shows up fine in the device hitlist. But when I click on the device name for details I get: "No valid device specified A valid device was not specified in the URL. Please retype and try again." Any idea why this would be occurring? No way to delete/readd the device too because of this. Any help appreciated! - John -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- John May : President http://www.pointinspace.com/ Point In Space Internet Solutions 800.664.8610 919.338.8198

Observium LDAP with TLS
by Vlad Kratsberg 17 Mar '17

17 Mar '17

Hello, We are trying to enable TLS on top of ldap connections. Once, i change startls to FALSE or required $config['auth_ldap_starttls'] = TRUE; $config['auth_ldap_starttls'] = 'required'; I get the following message: [image: Inline image 1] What does it mean exactly ? Version mismatch ? Cert error ? When I check packet capture, i see the following: [image: Inline image 2] And inside the client response ( packet # 9 ), there is this: [image: Inline image 3] Does it mean that observium can't find a certificate ? If so, which directory should i place certs ? I have another app on the same box that is using ldap with tls and it is working just fine. Also, what TLS versions are supported by observium ? Has anybody experienced the same issue ? Were you able to resolve it ? Appreciate your responses. Thank you

Xinetd for UNIX Agent
by Robbie Wright 16 Mar '17

16 Mar '17

Having an issue getting the agent to behave itself on a server. Getting this error when looking at xinetd status: Must specify a server in observium_agent I double checked all of the file locations and they are all correct. We have the unix agent running on other servers with an issue, this one is just being challenging. Has anyone else seen an error like that before?

Minor graph problems
by William Bauer 14 Mar '17

14 Mar '17

Ever since I moved our installation from CentOS6 with PHP 5.6 to CentOS7 (7.3) with PHP 7.0, I've noticed that the MRTG, "Graph Maximum" and "Graph Trend" menu items don't do anything. All of them used to work great. Is this enough information to signal to anyone what particular PHP package or PHP configuration entry might have been missed? I'm hoping the combination of these three is a smoking gun that signals "X is missing". Thanks.

Simple service checks?
by Mark Boyce 13 Mar '17

13 Mar '17

Hi All Very new to observium, so please forgive me if this is a silly question :-) In order to migrate away from nagios we also want to be able to track non-snmp values. For example; - Response time of web sites (is response correct, if so report response time) - SSL Certificate (is cert ok, if so report number of days left) … and similar Very easily scriptable checks, I just can’t work out what to do with them. Ideally I’d like to create a device that doesn’t respond to SNMP checks but gets data from a local script. Is this achievable or am I completely misusing Observium? Simply trying to get everything monitoring from one place :-) Mark

See attached; [image: Inline image 1] If you notice the top right corner, 2017/03/08 03:15:04 It's Tues 7th here 5:15pm. The server clock is synced NTP. Is there something I've missed here ?

Hi, I have been using observium for a while and I am pleased with it. Now when I try to integrate LDAP, I can't find the logs to troubleshoot. I activated LDAP and it connect correctly, the query looks good but no go. Log from my LDAP server [06/Mar/2017:16:41:55.102124385 -0500] conn=255138 op=1 SRCH base="cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=domain,dc=com" scope=2 filter="(&(objectClass=posixaccount)(uid=dave))" attrs=ALL Does anyone have suggestion how to activate the loggin for ldap on the PHP / NGINX / Observium side?

Windows Processor Numbers are Odd
by Don Maker 09 Mar '17

09 Mar '17

I got observium working almost exactly how I want it, but I have an issue with Windows cpu numbers. The graph looks fine (I think), but the numbers are weird. The max numbers look like a percentage, but the now and Avg show odd things like 640.5m I have no idea what that means. Also, the processor is never identified properly. I would happily change to wmi for Windows devices, but I'm not sure how that is done, or if it is stable. Does anyone have any suggestions or experiences with wmi and observium? Thanks!

Discovery creating & deleting inventory entries
by Lorenzo Zafra 07 Mar '17

07 Mar '17

Hi All, When I run discovery.php on our Nokia 7210 Service Access Switch (Alcatel-Lucent TiMOS) it creates and deletes inventory entries and the valid entries are found at the bottom of the page. See screenshot below. Are these deleted automatically after some time? I found that there is an inventory.inc.php file for the housekeeping script, but it is not included in the options when running housekeeping.php. Does this mean that inventory.inc.php is deprecated? To delete them, I just edited the script myself and ran it.

artificially high (100%) CPU usage reported from routing engine on Juniper MX-104 w/ 550 interfaces & solution
by Darrell Budic 07 Mar '17

07 Mar '17

Observium has been recording artificially high CPU for RE0 on my MX-104, and I finally spent the time to understand what was going on and look for a solution. Here’s what I found in case it helps someone else. I say artificially because monitoring the system from the CLI reported 30-40% CPU usage with significant spikes during SNMP polling, but Observium constantly recorded 100% CPU usage. First up, I got the juniper to stop reporting on it’s internal interfaces and a bunch of others that show up by default. This removed a bunch of interfaces that existed but never had data and observing was polling. This cut the poll time down a fair bit, so I mention it if you haven’t used it on a juniper before. If you want this, it’s: snmp { filter-interfaces { all-internal-interfaces; interfaces { <other interface you don’t want stats for here>; } } } I also went through and turned off all the modules it wasn’t using or weren’t producing any data in polling or discovery. Helped a little more, but exposed something odd. When I would run polling on just the processors module, it would report CPU usage that matched what I saw in the CLI. When it ran as part of the whole host polling, it reported 100%. Figured out it was polling the processors after it had polled sensors and the 550 interfaces on this router, and that has run up the CPU utilization while it was polling, so the RE was reporting that instant CPU usage while it was still high. Not sure it was the best way, but moved the processor module to the head of the polling queue, and now I’m getting a CPU status that is more representative of the general load on the RE, and not the 100% usage the SNMP polling was causing. This router has always had this many interfaces, so as far as I can tell, a change in polling order caused this behavior and not a growth in interfaces. Here’s my patch to includes/polling/functions.inc.php if it’s helpful to anyone: Index: functions.inc.php =================================================================== --- functions.inc.php (revision 8345) +++ functions.inc.php (working copy) @@ -639,6 +639,11 @@ //print_warning("Module [ $module ] excluded for device."); continue; } + if ($module == 'processors') + { + array_unshift($poll_modules, $module); // Add 'processors' before all + continue; + } if ($module == 'unix-agent') { array_unshift($poll_modules, $module); // Add 'unix-agent' before all

Is anyone aware of any documentation to migrate an observing installation to a new server? I am moving from CentOS 6 to CentOS 7 for security and PHP reasons. If anyone has any pointers, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Shawn Faulkingham

Observium-OpsGenie integration
by Celal Emre Çiçek 06 Mar '17

06 Mar '17

Hello, My name is Celal Emre ÇİÇEK and I'm an integration engineer at OpsGenie. I'd like to know if there are any changes in the latest updates of Observium that could affect Observium - OpsGenie integration. Today, one of our customers came up with a problem. He says Observium alerts aren't being forwarded to OpsGenie. He also says that he didn't change any configuration in Observium and in OpsGenie. We've confirmed that he didn't change any configuration in our side. We also asked him to check his Observium configuration and compare it with our docs. He's checked and nothing is wrong. So, we wonder if there are any changes that affect OpsGenie integration in Observium in the latest updates, maybe some changes in the backend. Could you please check and return to us? Best regards, Celal Emre ÇİÇEK

[observium] facing problem in email alerting.
by Santanu Mandal 05 Mar '17

05 Mar '17

Hello Guys, I am facing a problem regarding Observium Alerting. Few days ego I have enabled alerts and configured to send to couple of specific email ids. Configured those email Ids in .php file as well as in GUI. Due to some reason I have removed those email Ids to stop sending alerts. Now Observium starts collecting email ids from ‘snmp contact’ configuration of device and sending alerts to this email id. Please let me know what to configure so that Observium would not be able to send emails to the email id which is configured in snmp contact of network device ? Thanking you, Santanu Mandal +91 7028357135

Unable to parse header `DSName' rrdtool
by Sam Hernandez-gill 03 Mar '17

03 Mar '17

I have a few different rrdtool graphs that are outputting "RRDTool Output: ERROR: rrdc_fetch: Unable to parse header `DSName'" So far I've only noticed it on specific Citrix Netscaler graphs, the Netscaler SSL ones nsSslHandshakes, nsSslSessions, etc and TCP Connections and TCP Packets for the netscalers are all in the same state with Unable to parse header `DSName'. [cid:image001.png@01D29412.6D368F20] Sadly I didn't notice when, I did recently upgrade to revision 8417, however these aren't graphs I frequently look at. Anybody else with netscalers in their environment at the same revision?

Migration CentOS 6 to 7 - Graphs Failing
by Storer, Darren 03 Mar '17

03 Mar '17

Our Observium professional server file system was recently damaged beyond recovery. Fortunately the database and the Observium directory had been backed up the night before. The older server OS was CentOS 6 and the new OS is CentOS 7 (both 64 bit). The Observium directory was restored and the database imported; now the Observium web page is working well, with visibility of all devices, historic stats/states/graphs etc. The cron jobs are running and polling etc. - the state of devices updates dynamically via the map too. However, there are no updates to the any of the graphs. I'm not sure if there is a database problem, RRD problem or file permissions problem. Placing /debug after various pages does not reveal any problems. Can anyone recommend other places to look for debug/logging information? Thanks in advance Darren

Traffic Accounting
by Fred Pedrisa 03 Mar '17

03 Mar '17

Hi, guys. I plan to renew my subscription with you, but before doing it, I wanted to make sure, if now we can select "which stream" can be accounted, being : rx, tx or rx+tx, I'm asking this, because we have different ways of billing customer ports and this is a must for us. If this is not present, any chance you could add a switch for this ? It would be great if so. Sincerely, Fred
