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

No valid device specified
by John May 17 Mar '17

17 Mar '17

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 ?

Windows Processor Numbers are Odd
by Don Maker 08 Mar '17

08 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

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

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

Sorry, but I don't see any attached graphs. I do believe that Cisco memory graphs are working for other people, just not for me.

Should I be seeing memory usage graphs on Cisco devices?
by Don Maker 03 Mar '17

03 Mar '17

I have various Cisco devices ( catalyst switches, ios routers, ios-xe, etc), but none of them are showing any memory usage details in observium. I was surprised by this as observium did a remarkable job of recognizing and displaying information for things that most snmp tools do not, Qnap for example. It does recognize my Cisco devices and reports back on just about everything, but memory. Other tools I tried, such as Manageengine, PRTG, etc reported the memory with no issue. So, I'm skeptical that there is anything wrong with my snmp setup. I would really love to get memory usage for my Cisco devices. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears. Thanks

Syslog parsing for NXOS
by Markus Bornhauser 02 Mar '17

02 Mar '17

Hi list, Sorry if this had been asked before, but I'm unable to browse the mailing list archives. I have set up syslog parsing with Rsyslogd, like documented [1]. The syslog.php script does receive the logs and saves them in the database. Parsing logs from both Cisco Catalyst (IOS) and Cisco Nexus switches, I discovered that the NXOS logs are parsed incorrectly (see screenshot [2]). Does Observium support NXOS logs, or do I have to change something to make it as perfect as with IOS logs? [1] https://observium.org/docs/syslog/#rsyslogd [2] https://snag.gy/2eDsgH.jpg

Observium API / CE 0.16.1.7533
by Uwe Freier 28 Feb '17

28 Feb '17

Hello, sorry for a maybe stupid question but I searched the Observium docs and FAQs and tried to search the mailing lists archive but latest was not available because the link to 'observium Archivs' on mailman's web interface leads to a 404. Is there an API to Observium and if is there a doc anywhere? Maybe I'm blind but I cannot find any related information if I inserted 'API' in the search field of the Obeservium docs. Google finds some pages that talk of " $config['api']['enabled'] = 1;" and/or query strings for an api.php - I do not even have an api.php in my observium installation. Some Observium values should be made available through a CRM and an API might be a smooth solution. Any tipps appreciated! Thanks, Uwe

Graph direct link changes when group membership changes

23 Feb '17

Hi! I'm using the direct link to graphs for a dashboard. Not sure this was the intended usage, but I found an issue that I think could be avoided related to this. It looks like graphs in this view are getting encoded IDs that somehow relate to the devices in the group, so the URL looks like this below. The issue is that when having lots of devices in a view, the id field gets really long and eventually will cause the graph creation to fail....however another and bigger issue is that it seems the id actually change when new devices are added (which happens during auto-discovery). Is there any way to fix the id to a numeric number like used with other graphs ? http://observium/graph.php?to=1487801959&id=WyIzMjE5MSIsIjMyNTE1IiwiMzMxNjM… /Jesper

Re: [Observium] Can't write new info to Observium

On 2017.02.22 14:00, observium-request(a)observium.org wrote: > Can't write new info to Observium Also, another problem we have noticed, I wonder if it's related to the caching update. When using device search (Devices->All Devices), then selecting hardware type (for example DES-1210-26/ME), we can find 8 devices from our network, that's ok. But we have updated the firmware version of this specific device, and when trying to do the same search in Observium, It can't find the device with updated firmware. And this happened with every device we upgraded. Quick search bar finds the device without any problems. Could this be related to the caching update? Thank you

all VMs Removed - why ?
by Thoralf Freitag 22 Feb '17

22 Feb '17

Hi, is there any idea, why observium has removed all VMs from the ESXi Server, like this: 1d 2h 3m Vm Virtual Machine deleted: vmware 564da96d-e3b0-b511-66cc-2a184a576652 1d 2h 3m Vm Virtual Machine deleted: vmware 564d8984-0864-6b78-7d91-36f2c13e53d6 1d 2h 3m Vm Virtual Machine deleted: vmware 564d4905-87d7-6fdf-bc72-753c916ef3c1 1d 2h 3m Vm Virtual Machine deleted: vmware 564d2060-e2e4-9949-97a6-28cb5f02e801 1d 2h 3m Vm Virtual Machine deleted: vmware 564d3421-27c8-04ea-7ef8-139af5ebcb5c 1d 2h 3m Vm Virtual Machine deleted: vmware 564d18eb-bad5-0691-7acf-3cb24787c0c1 1d 2h 3m Vm Virtual Machine deleted: vmware 564d523c-b392-e037-12e6-4c93b9dc82b1 1d 2h 3m Vm Virtual Machine deleted: vmware 564dc378-b321-2b72-176f-09c8fc5a1116 1d 2h 3m Vm Virtual Machine deleted: vmware 564db385-e361-5d0a-3167-d9a416357692 ...

Can't write new info to Observium
by Karolis Birgėla 22 Feb '17

22 Feb '17

Hello all, never happened to me before, but Obsevium acts strangely lately for me. When trying to add a new device via web, it sucessfully adds it, but it's page appears to be missing. It says something like 'You entered a device which does not exist' or something similar. What is more, when I want to manually change device's description on the web, it says 'Device record updated'. But the info that I've written has not appeared. What could have caused this? I don't remember doing any changes to my Observium server, except doing an update. Version 17.2.8364 (stable) Everything else works as it should. Thank you

ASR9k RAM Changes
by Robert Williams 22 Feb '17

22 Feb '17

Hi, Have there just been some changes to the ASR9k RAM detection? Suddenly after the overnight svn up we are seeing this for all 9k chassis: [cid:image001.png@01D28C23.56E5F220] These 3 new items are in alarm. The “reserved” and “image” are filtered from all other devices by existing config.php – but obviously no brackets on these ones. $config['ignore_mempool_string'][] = '(reserved)'; $config['ignore_mempool_string'][] = '(image)'; However, the ‘processor’ one is actually wrong as it seems to be using the CPU0 usage but a strange maximum of 3.81GB instead of 7.81GB. I can’t filter this out because it will drop all ‘processor’ types. I remember something historic relating to this where the maximums were showing as around 4GB even though there is 8GB installed and someone (Adam?) found and sorted it. This may or may not be related though. Cheers! Robert Williams Custodian Data Centre Email: Robert(a)CustodianDC.com http://www.CustodianDC.com

Alert regeneration via cli?
by Michael 22 Feb '17

22 Feb '17

Is there a way to regenerate the alerts from the cli? We have some checks that alert based on port state, dependent on conditions within a port description. But that matching is only performed during the alert regeneration, not during polling. So if the port description gets updated, the alert still triggers based on the old condition match... I'm thinking of running a regen via cron on a regular basis to try and minimise the false positives. Unless somebody has a better way to achieve a similar outcome? Thanks, Michael

Poller wrapper history graphs not updating
by Jesper Frank Nemholt 21 Feb '17

21 Feb '17

Hi! I have moved an instance from a physical server to a VM by moving over the database & RRD files + Observium $HOME. All works except one minor thing : The poller wrapper history (/pollerlog/ page) graphs do not update anymore. Also the RRD files do not update their timestamp since I moved the files to the new VM. The poller discovery/timing part of the same page does work properly, so it's only the top two graphs missing (or rather the graphs are there, but no new data is being added). Any idea why ? /Jesper

using hardware sensors
by Thoralf Freitag 19 Feb '17

19 Feb '17

Dear Observium community, is there any description of using hardware sensors? I've following issue. I'm operating a HP server with an Ilom under Ubuntu Linux. I configured in the device properties for ipmi: IPMI Hostname (IP address of the Ilom), IPMI Username (as configured at Ilom) IPMI Password, IPMI Userlevel (User) IPMI Interface (IPMI v2.0 RMCP+LAN Interface). Observium rekognized the sensors for temperature und fan speed. I did the same at an other HP server (same type) which is running ESXi 6.5 (HP customized Image). The Sensors are shown in the vSphre-Client and ESXi empeded host client UI. But for this host, Observium does not rekognize the sensors. How can this be explained ? Thanks. Lg. TF

Group with 500+ devices
by Karolis Birgėla 19 Feb '17

19 Feb '17

Hi, I have a problem with device classification to specific groups. We currently have 750 devices added in our network. Some users can only have access to specific devices, which led us to creating a group associated with them. The problem is, that more than 500 devices belong to the group, and when we attach this group to a user, it lags like hell. The main window of Observium loads slowly, and the search works very slow. I dont think that the server is incapable of proccesing this quickly It's a server with 80gb of ram, 24core cpu. By the way, admin accounts work perfectly . Is this a bug? Or something needs to be done in order? Let me know, thank you.

Ruckus Virtual SmartZone (vSZ) controller
by Philippe Laurent 17 Feb '17

17 Feb '17

It seems that either the Ruckus MIB changed, or my expectation of function is different than reality. We run the Ruckus Virtual SmartZone (vSZ) to control our AP's. At the moment, Observium provides just the local attributes (CPU, NIC, RAM, Disk) of the virtual machine, but it was my impression that I was supposed to get a much larger subset of data regarding AP's, configured WLANS, clients and traffic, etc. It appears in the MIB properties that the data should be available, but perhaps there's been a change of MIB from the Ruckus side (in which case I would also like to pay for getting that updated). Attached is a screenshot of the Device MIBs and SNMP errors as reported by Observium. If you require something else, please let me know. I am using the most recent software version for both vSZ and the APs (R600). Observium is updated from SVN daily(ish). If this requires more heavy lifting or outside of the scope, then please contact me offline for pricing and timeline, and I'll sponsor the additions. Philippe [image: Inline image 1]

Generate an BGP group with only like clue the interface description?

Hello, We would like create alert on BGP sessions only on private peering. The only clue for detected these BGP sessions is the description on interface. But Observium seems don't can link session<->network ports. I don't find easy solution to match these sessions. Anybody have an idea? Observium seems to be able link one IP to network port. Is it possible for you add functionality to link BGP sessions (with their IP) to network port too? We could do a really great monitoring and see BGP sessions linked to the network port (on new tab?) :-) Johann

Custom OID and New Sensors
by Ing. Andrés Gallo 16 Feb '17

16 Feb '17

Hi there Just installed the Observium 17.2.8353 to monitor our network Great job! I need to handle a couple of issues: 1. Once I did Custom OID to monitor, How Can I set threshold or alarm limit to get an alert? For example, graphing fuel level, raise an alert on low value. 2. Some devices are recognized by the system-i.e. EATON SC Controller-, but sensors -voltage, current, power, etc.- are not. I can write a sensor.inc.php -same way as others into includes/discovery/sensors dir- but even with the debug option in command line, cant´t get it working. Any clue? Couldnt find the list archive ( mybe solved there, but....) link is broken Regards Andres.-

Map marker icon size
by Ed Iwanski 15 Feb '17

15 Feb '17

We are adding quite a few locations to our install and after adding the first batch our front page map ends up with quite a bit of overlap while we have many more to add. It got me thinking if we could just make the individual markers smaller it would work better for us. Looking into the settings it seems there was an option for: $config['frontpage']['map']['dotsize'] = 10; Changing this seems to have no effect and a quick glance it does not seem to be used anymore Doing a little more digging in the code it looks like the html/includes/map/leaflet.inc.php has options defined to add the svg icons with static sizes with the following: var icons = { ok: L.icon({ iconUrl: 'images/svg/ok.svg', popupAnchor: [0, 16], iconSize: [24, 24] // size of the icon }), alert: L.icon({ iconUrl: 'images/svg/high_priority.svg', popupAnchor: [0, 12], iconSize: [32, 32] // size of the icon }), }; It seems just changing the values in iconSize: [X,Y] accomplishes what we would like to do to make the marker size a bit smaller and the maps to be more clear with many more sites added. Maybe 2 new example variables to allow a little further map customization? $config['frontpage']['map']['markeroksize'] = <value>; $config['frontpage']['map']['markeralertsize'] = <value>; Thanks, Ed

Selectively enable polling fdb-table

Hi, We have globally disabled polling fdb-table, i.e in in config.php we have $config['poller_modules']['fdb-table'] = 0; Now we'd like to selectively ENABLE polling of the fdb-table, but only on a subset of devices. Is there a way to do this? From what I can figure out it's only possible to do it the other way around, that is enable fdb-table polling GLOBALLY and then device by device DISBALE polling. But we'd like to have polling OFF by default and then selectively enable it on a few devices. Any ideas?

Hi, Recently I noticed that Observium do collect information about network storage devices. There is a way to collect information about their volumes too? And how about alerts? :) Thank you. Regards, -- Eduardo Schoedler

network weathermap

Is anyone familiar with this? http://blog.best-practice.se/2014/07/using-php-weathermap-with-observium.ht… Does it still work with the subscription version of Observium? Im having trouble making it work. I followed the steps to a T but... no luck. I even made a network map with 2 devices but I'm not sure that's even correct because the weather maps never load. It goes back to the regular index.php page Thanks for any tips -Daniel

Setting default sensor limits
by Dan Letkeman 09 Feb '17

Just wondering what the best way is to set the default sensor limits? For example, I would like to set the battery temperature sensor max to 50C for all of our UPS units instead of the current default of 91.36C which would basically mean that the ups has melted into the floor.

We have many Ricoh printers and copiers. Because SNMP is horrible on these devices I am unable to set the System Name (sysName). Is there a way to set this manually in Observium?

Customer's web portal for Observium
by Sophanith Chhom 09 Feb '17

Hi All, Is there an additional plugin for managing user and group for Observium? Or anywhere we can modify for user customer's portal purpose? Eg: For customer web accessing, we only provide normal user permission applied with limitted device or port access for that customer only and it should not display Overview, Grouping, Weathermap, Routing module.... anywhere we can disable that kind of module to accomplish? We just want a normal user see only device and port are allowed only. Please check as bellow picture Can we just disable these red box for normal user accessing? [image: Inline image 1] Thanks for your help.
