Software raid
by Simon Mousey Smith 20 Dec '16

20 Dec '16

Hi All, Daft question, we have a voip server with software raid in (FreePBX) Does Observium monitor the software raid? I see in the Observium_agent script it does ‘cat /proc/mdstat’ But what does it do? I can’t see any graphs or sensors for the raid? Only the md IO graphs? Regards Simon

NET ISO Routing support

NET ISO Routing support, debain 8 install, Observium CE 0.16.10.8128 Hi, I'm having trouble getting ISIS to work in observium. I apoligize if this has already been a topic in the email archive, but I was unable to view the archive and I couldn't find anything online relating to this. bgp, ospf, eigrp are all show in the edit-->routing section of the webui. Not ISIS. I know under poller discover modules these exist // Poller/Discovery Modules $config['enable_bgp'] = 1; // Enable BGP session collection and display $config['enable_rip'] = 1; // Enable RIP session collection and display $config['enable_ospf'] = 1; // Enable OSPF session collection and display $config['enable_isis'] = 1; // Enable ISIS session collection and display $config['enable_eigrp'] = 1; // Enable EIGRP session collection and display $config['enable_syslog'] = 0; // Enable Syslog $config['enable_vrfs'] = 1; // Enable VRFs $config['enable_sla'] = 1; // Enable SLA/RPM collection and display $config['enable_pseudowires'] = 1; // Enable Pseudowires digging a bit further, I found that uncommenting this section of the file ./includes/config-variables.inc.php would enable this setting on the webui. However isis data is still not collected and does not show up under device>routing. /// ROUTING ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// $config_sections['routing']['text'] = "Routing"; $setting = 'enable_isis'; $config_variable[$setting]['section'] = "routing"; $config_variable[$setting]['subsection'] = "Protocols"; $config_variable[$setting]['name'] = "ISIS sessions"; $config_variable[$setting]['type'] = "bool"; $config_variable[$setting]['shortdesc'] = "Enable collection and display of ISIS data."; one thing I noticed is the bgp, ospf, and eigrp all have the name set to "<protocol> collection" while rip and isis have the name "<protocol> sessions." Finding these settings without a comment like "/* Unimplemented :)" makes me think that ISIS is supported, however I can't seem to find an existing module to support it within the CE. a quick grep of the observium directories seems to show that isis is lacking a poller module like: ./includes/polling/cisco-eigrp.inc.php ./includes/polling/ospf.inc.php ./includes/discovery/bgp-peers.inc.php grep -r 'isis' . (with a lot of output ommited) ./tests/HtmlIncludesFunctionsTest.php: array('isis', 'IS-IS'), ./includes/config-variables.inc.php:$setting = 'enable_isis'; ./includes/defaults.inc.php:$config['enable_isis'] = 1; // Enable ISIS session collection and display ./includes/definitions.inc.php:$config['routing_types']['isis'] = array('text' => 'ISIS'); Does anyone have ISIS working in observium? If so how? Thanks.

Problem with MIBs
by Xavier Bonell 16 Dec '16

16 Dec '16

Hello; I recently have installed the Community version of Observium on a CentOS 7 server, to test the functionalities and the configurations that gives; to decide if I it's worth to purchase for the Professional one. My question is about how can I select wich MIBs is going to use to obtain data. Because when I go to Devices -> Select Device -> Properties -> MIBs I find a list of MIBs that are used but not suitable for my device. How can I change it? Entering through the server's folders I have seen that are the MIBs that I need. How can I run it to get the appropiate data? Thanks!

Unable to sort rows by the last column for some data types
by Andy Lemin 15 Dec '16

15 Dec '16

Hi, At the risk of embarrassing myself again and making you laugh, for an obvious typo.. ;) And yes I have definitely checked this time I discovered this weekend that it is not possible to view some of the "Heath" charts in a sorted order. For example, Heath -> Temperature -> Click "Value". The rows seem to be sorted randomly for us. Is anyone else seeing this too? The following also all have the same problem 1) Health -> Processor -> Click "Processor" to sort by processor name, results in random sorting 2) Health -> Memory -> Click "Memory" to sort by Memory name, results in random sorting 3) Health -> Memory -> Click "Used" to sort by Used, results in very random sorting 4) Health -> Temperature -> Click "Value" to sort by temp, results in very random sorting 5) Health -> Fanspeed -> Click "Value" to sort by temp, results in very random sorting 6) Health -> Power -> Click "Value", results in random sorting Cheers, Andy.

Power Supply Status Alarm Check
by Sebastian Klute 14 Dec '16

14 Dec '16

Hi there, I'm getting a bit confused while trying to create an alarm checker for power supply. So it's located under Status with physical class powersupply. Using the actual name would be worthless if this changes. What I want to check is the status of the status. Meaning running or not. I would go for status_type "powersupply" and status_event "running". If this is not true then give me an alarm. But I'm very unsure about the status_type and the correct one to check be cause an event could be "OK" or "FAIL" as well. The purpose is to track if any of the power supplys of our switches fails, so you can do an exchange before the whole switch goes offline. Hope anyone can help me with that.

Re: [Observium] OpsGenie Observium Integration
by Halit Okumuş 09 Dec '16

09 Dec '16

Hi Adam, The current integration was made, months ago, according to your old webhook content. And there are existing, in-use configurations in OpsGenie at the moment. We can't just throw them away and change that, can we? That's why we suggested the webhook content before. I don't care how crappy your payload was, we're just trying to make use of the two products together. Alright, cooling down, we can do a rewrite. We'll make a V2 integration which will make use of the fields you mentioned and deprecate our old one. Can you send an example of that request to http://4kmm916oxm9m.runscope.net ?

Question about port desr on Fortigate
by MORDAC, Benoit 06 Dec '16

06 Dec '16

Hi, I'm using the Observium professional edition, and I monitor a lot of things, including some Fortigate firewalls. I have upgraded one of them from FortiOS 5.2.x to 5.4.2 release, After this upgrade, observium don't show interfaces names or description. When calling the discovery.php script we should see the port name. ##### Module Start: ports ##### o Caching OIDs ifDescr ifAlias ifName ifType ifOperStatus o Caching DB 46 ports o Discovering ports .............................................. +---------+---------+----------+----------+----------+-------------+---------+ | ifIndex | ifDescr | ifName | ifAlias | ifType | Oper Status | Ignored | +---------+---------+----------+----------+----------+-------------+---------+ | 1 | ... | port1 | ... | ethernet | up | no | | | | | | Csmacd | | | | 2 | ... | port2 | ... | ethernet | down | no | | | | | | Csmacd | | | | 3 | ... | port3 | ... | ethernet | up | no | | | | | | Csmacd | | | ... But it's not visible in the web UI. Maybe it's possible to force Observium to use ifName instead of ifDescr attribute ? I have made a "svn update" on my observium install, the problem is still present. Thanks for your help. Best Regards,

Intel True Scale Fabric Switch 12800 support

Hi there, I am a software engineer at OpsGenie. We have developed an integration specific to Observium. Thus, we would be very pleased if you can fix your integration so that it uses /v1/json/observium endpoint rather than /v1/json/alert endpoint. Observium Integration works similar to generic Webhook integration but we customised it for Observium.

Hi, I have an alert on a linux server configured for "mempool_perc gt 90", which is firing all the time because of irrelevant caching use. Memory on Linux is always used. I'm more interested in the orange part of this graph: The device is called ucd_memory. Is there a metric I can use to get the value that's at 61% in this graph, to catch spikes like the one at 14:00 time? Thanks Maik

Is there a way to see which module is taking all the time when polling a device? I have Nexus 5000 switches with lots of ports, so I assume it the ports that take most of the time, but I would like to see what else takes a lot of time and if I can live without that information and disable the polling for it (like fdbcount).

Active Directory LDAP Group Recursive Lookups
by Chip Pleasants 30 Nov '16

30 Nov '16

Hi all, We are having trouble with LDAP group recursive lookups in Active Directory. We are wondering how to configure Observium if in Active Directory we put another Active Directory group and if the group inside does not live under the current groupbase. Below is a example. I've set auth_ldap_recursive_maxdepth to 3. I tried adding the group and adjusting the groupbase together as well as individually without luck. Do we need to add that group to Observium? Is this sort of thing supported? Is there anything I can provide that may help? Current $config['auth_ldap_group'] = array("CN=Observium Admin,OU=Apps,OU=Security,DC=corp,DC=company,DC=net"); $config['auth_ldap_groupbase'] = "OU=Apps,OU=Security,DC=corp,DC=company,DC=net"; Future $config['auth_ldap_group'] = array("CN=Observium Admin,OU=Apps,OU=Security,DC=corp,DC=company,DC=net",CN=DEPT,OU=POOP,OU=Security,DC=corp,DC=company,DC=net"); $config['auth_ldap_groupbase'] = "OU=Security,DC=corp,DC=company,DC=net"; Thanks, -Chip

Problem with make graphs on ports
by Janusz Janik 30 Nov '16

30 Nov '16

Good morning, I have problem with making graphs on ports. Observium recognize one of device as: ZXR10 ROS Version V4.6.02A ZXPON C300 Software, Version V2.6.02A.21 Copyright (c) 2000-2006 by ZTE Corporation Compiled Feb 4 2013, 03:49:41 It looks like most of ports do not gathering data: MAC addres is not showing up and traffic is displayed like 0bps. But real traffic exists on these ports. This instance of observium contains more devices. Problems exist on two devices with 72 ports. The other two devices have 48 and 24 ports, and generally traffic has draw properly on these devices. We suspect the key is too big number of ports on single device and observium doesn't "know" what is going on. We use observium community edition Observium CE 0.16.10.8128 (6th October 2016) I attach log from poller: ./poller.php -i 4 -n 1 -dd > /home/janix/poller.log in file. This device is the most important. We can send more log files if it will be necessary. Best regards, Janusz Janik -- Pozdrawiam, Janusz Janik http://idhosting.pl/

Failed dbQuery

Hi all, We just upgrade Observium Pro version from 5565 to 8181 a few days. Everything seems to be working from we can tell, although since the upgrade we noticed this message in the db.log. It occurs for multiple devices. We are running Ubuntu 12.04.5. I'm wondering if it is because we are running PHP is 5.3? Has anyone seen this message after upgrading? It would nice to have some idea about the error message before we upgrade to 16.04.1. Thanks for the assistance in advance and let me know if you need any other information.

Network Interface marked as "ignored" during discovery?
by Kaya Saman 27 Nov '16

27 Nov '16

Hi, I'm trying to get one of my network interfaces to appear in Observium but for some strange reason it is being marked as "ignored"? In my config.php I haven't included any statements to ignore any devices and the poll time for this particular machine is only a few seconds considering that it's connection to the network is via wifi. The output of #sudo -u www ./discovery.php -h <host> -f shows: ##### Module Start: ports ##### o Caching OIDs ifDescr ifAlias ifName ifType ifOperStatus o Caching DB 2 ports o Discovering ports ..X +---------+--------------------------------+-------------+---------+------------------+-------------+---------+ | ifIndex | ifDescr | ifName | ifAlias | ifType | Oper Status | Ignored | +---------+--------------------------------+-------------+---------+------------------+-------------+---------+ | 1 | lo | lo | ... | softwareLoopback | up | no | | 2 | Realtek Semiconductor Co., ... | ens33 | ... | ethernetCsmacd | down | no | | 3 | wlp0s29f7u7 | wlp0s29f7u7 | ... | ethernetCsmacd | up | yes | +---------+--------------------------------+-------------+---------+------------------+-------------+---------+ o Duration 0.2046s Observium is seeing the interface but just ignoring it? In the UI I don't see anywhere to view 'ignored' ports; I only see "alerts", "down" and "deleted". The port does however, show up under the Inventory section. Does anyone have any idea on how to make this interface not be 'ignored'? After 2 days of searching for an answer I can only conclude that perhaps I need to make this change on the actual MySQL DB itself though I do not know the location of the 'ignore' section of ports/interfaces <- that and this is probably a really bad way of doing things too....! Many Thanks. Kaya

Apache hanging (probably not Observium issue but Apache issue)
by Jesper Frank Nemholt 20 Nov '16

20 Nov '16

Hi! I've started to see that on specific actions from within the Observium GUI Apache will lock up. It seems random what action it is, but all Apache workers stop responding and it takes forever to restart Apache afterwards (5-10 min to do a service httpd restart). Anyone had the same issue ? I see no errors in the Apache logs and no errors in Observium logs, nor in other logs on the LInux server (CentOS 7.2). Observium polling still run as usual, so it's just the web interface stopping. /Jesper

Regex in alert checkers
by Michael 16 Nov '16

16 Nov '16

When you have a problem that can be solved with regex, you now have two problems... I'm having trouble making a fairly basic regex string match in the alerting system. I want to not match any devices that have hostnames starting with a digit. Easy, right. I think my problem is not finding the right bracing to build the syntax within the ui. Things I have tried that don't seem to work: hostname notregexp \b\d.* hostname notregexp /\b\d.*/ hostname notregexp /(\b\d.*)/ hostname notregexp '/\b\d.*/' hostname notregexp "\b\d.*" hostname notregexp "/\b\d.*/" hostname notregexp '\b\d.*' Has anybody figured out what the secret handshake is?

Observium Custom Agent Module
by Roman Romanyak 15 Nov '16

15 Nov '16

Hello Observium users, I was following this manual http://www.keithrogers.co.uk/?p=12 to create a custom graph in observium and hit some issues. The APP tab does not appear in observium gui and looks like the graph is not being created. Here is some data: When I run "poller -h monitored_server" I see the following info in the output: [ntp] => string(0) "" [postfix_mailq] => string(19) "Mail queue is empty" [local] => string(0) "" [app] => array( [apache_procs] => string(6) "609938" ) ) ... ... No include: kernel No include: netctr No include: ntp No include: postfix_mailq No include: local No include: app Including: applications/apache_procs.inc.php apache_procs So, it looks like observium is getting data, but I'm not sure where to look to check why I don't see the relevant graph. Thanks, Roman. -- Roman Romanyak Network engineer

Hi all, I just visited the live demo on Observium's site and noticed that when you log in there's an overall transit traffic today section.

I've had a quick look in the global settings but can't see how to enable this? Has anyone got this working on their installs, we'd like to have this feature on ours J Thanks in advance.

Thought about this right after hitting send, if you want to do away with the notregexp so you can match on something else in the expression as well it would be more efficient to do hostname regexp ^[^0-9] On Nov 14, 2016 5:02 PM, "Ed Iwanski" <ed(a)iwanski.com> wrote: hostname notregexp ^[0-9] On Nov 14, 2016 4:39 PM, "Michael" <obslist(a)smarsz.com> wrote: > When you have a problem that can be solved with regex, you now have two > problems... > > I'm having trouble making a fairly basic regex string match in the > alerting system. > > I want to not match any devices that have hostnames starting with a digit. > Easy, right. > > I think my problem is not finding the right bracing to build the syntax > within the ui. > > Things I have tried that don't seem to work: > > hostname notregexp \b\d.* > hostname notregexp /\b\d.*/ > hostname notregexp /(\b\d.*)/ > hostname notregexp '/\b\d.*/' > hostname notregexp "\b\d.*" > hostname notregexp "/\b\d.*/" > hostname notregexp '\b\d.*' > > > Has anybody figured out what the secret handshake is? > > Michael > _______________________________________________ > observium mailing list > observium(a)observium.org > http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium >

Possible bug with device properties port tab and toggles
by Ed Iwanski 14 Nov '16

14 Nov '16

I was not sure of the netiquette of posting bugs in jira so I thought I would send to the mailing list instead. I have been having a problem with the toggle buttons on the top of the device properties -> ports tab. The problem started with the toggle buttons not working properly, when pressed all of the toggle buttons would function like the device save submit button. I seem to be able to recreate this problem and duplicate after doing a bit of looking at the code and testing, it seems to be an artifact of disabling the mouseover popups. Does not work: Global Settings -> Edit, Web UI tab, Mouseover Popus set to Custom/False Device properties -> port tab, toggle buttons do not function, merely submit page Works: Global Settings -> Edit, Web UI tab, Mouseover Popups set to Custom/True Device properties -> port tab, toggle buttons function properly Let me know if anyone has any suggestions or perhaps something I need to change on my side. I did a fresh up to date ubuntu install to validate and the same behavior happens there.

packetflux expansion units
by Möri Andreas 14 Nov '16

14 Nov '16

Hi everybody.... Packetflux is officially supported by observium - I brought one base unit and 2 expansion units for testing (replacing my today used zenoss installation). Unfortunately observium does only import base version and not the expansion units with the temperature sensors.... Today I have added OIDs of the expansion units and assigned to the base unit manually.... But this not the way it should work.... Can someone confirm that packetflux is fully supported (incl. expansion units )? Any way to import them into observium? Thanks for your ideas....

Remove Disks from polling/alerting
by Andre Geißler 14 Nov '16

Hi all Could it be possible to realize polling and alerting toggling for Storage similar to the settings under device's port properties? We have several devices showing their storages, some of them don't need to be shown. I know I can disable them in the config file with $config['ignore_mount_regexp'][] but that isn't that comfortable than doing it in GUI as it is realized for ports Thanks Andre -- Andre Geißler PGP: http://keyserver.pgp.com ID: 13FAA6FC EMAIL: andre(a)geisslermail.de

rsyslog problems
by Aurelio Llorente Obiols 14 Nov '16

14 Nov '16

Hi all, I have an issue with rsyslog after adding the script 30-observium.conf to /etc/rsyslog.d. Before that, rsyslog is logging, as expected, all the local events to /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog. After installing the script and restarting rsyslogd all the remote events are logged to MySQL and you can see them in Observium, but local events are not logged anymore. Seems to be an issue with the script for Observium in /etc/rsyslog.d and I got the same issue in a fresh installation, so I believe anyone else may had the same problem. The first installation is a TurnKey VM based in Debian Jessie. The second one is based in Debian testing (stretch). Both systems use rsyslogd 8.xx. I used the script recommended in Observium´s website. Any advice?

Small feature request
by Attila Nagy 09 Nov '16

09 Nov '16

Hi all! I ran into this small deficit a few times, but now I decided to report it, maybe it gets the attention of other fellow users and/or of developers. So the small thing that I miss sometimes from the GUI is the display of the IP address of a device. In my opinion this information should definitely be listed on the overview page, but optimally it should also appear in the tooltip that appears when hovering the mouse (let's say after the FQDN in square brackets). And given the fact that a device can have many IP addresses, I would say lets display the one that the devices FQDN resolves to (mostly this is that I am eager to know). Yes-yes, I know, DNS solves most of the problems, but sometimes it is just easier if you know the IP address. Any opinions? Regards, Tylla

Syslog Rules
by Kirk Sam (RXW) IT Network Engineer 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

Hi All, Has anyone used the syslog rules/alerts yet? I've tried setting up some simple rules to alert if there are particular messages in the syslog but haven't managed to get any to trigger. I've tried making the rules even simpler, for example setting the rule to /port/ (which occurs in the syslog often) and haven't had it trigger either. If I browse to the syslog and use the message search function it does return results. The syslog has been configured and in use for some time - one of my colleagues set it up and followed the syslog integration guide. Is there any further configuration needed for the syslog rules to enable them or something? Many thanks for your help. Regards, Sam

Re: [Observium] CheckPoint alert creation problem
by Moerman, Maarten 07 Nov '16

Have you selected the right entity type when adding an alert-checker? It needs to be of type “sensor” , it doesn’t work when you leave it on “device” Maarten From: observium <observium-bounces(a)observium.org> on behalf of Laszlo Nemeth <laszlo.nemeth(a)emarsys.com> Reply-To: Observium Network Observation System <observium(a)observium.org> Date: Friday, October 28, 2016 at 3:37 PM To: Observium Network Observation System <observium(a)observium.org> Subject: [Observium] CheckPoint alert creation problem Hello, I have a CheckPoint 2205 device. It is supported by Observium, so we love it :D I would like to create an alert for it’s fan speed. I do a normal alert like our other looks like: Device: hostname match *cpfw01* Entity match: sensor_class equals fanspeed Test condition: sensor_value greater 3000 With this settings if i push a Rebuild, it shows 0 entities. How can i check what is wrong? I tried to change the fanspeed to temperature, but the problem is similar, 0 entities after rebuild. I attached a picture about the graphs of the device. Hmm... if i run a „rebuild” there are see lot of devices but there is no any „FW” devices however we have more whit this FW prefix. May be this is the problem? It looks like this list doesn’t show all of our devices. Thanks Br Laszlo

Force disable 'Neighbours discovery: LLDP-MIB', ['xdp'] = FLASE; not working
by Andy Lemin 06 Nov '16

06 Nov '16

Hi, How can we _Force_ the disablement of discovering hosts via LLDP/XDP? Normally when running poller.php, with '$config['autodiscovery']['xdp'] = FLASE;' set in config.php, everything is fine. However when running '/opt/observium/discovery.php', it finds a switch, and we have LLDP enabled on our servers and switches for other processes related to the management of servers. However this means that Observium takes over an hour to discover a single Virtual Cassis which has 192 ports, with over 100 active servers (all showing up in the LLDP on the switch). Obviously this is a waste of time, and unnecessarily stressful for the servers being scanned and the Observium server. Why is discovery.php not honouring '$config['autodiscovery']['xdp'] = FLASE;' as set in config.php? Cheers, Andy.

Device Properties - Ports - Toggle Not Working
by Iwanski, Ed 06 Nov '16

06 Nov '16

I tried looking for mailing list archives but didn't find them online, please let me know where to look if I am mistaken. We are on Observium Professional 0.16.10.8181, stable svn update rev 8201 shown so looks up to date. We are having problems using the toggle or disable for an entire column on the device properties port page. I thought it might be a browser issue but I have tried Chrome, Firefox and IE from different computers with no luck. Currently the button just behaves like the save button and submits the form instead of changing the status on the existing page. Any thoughts on what else I could check would be appreciated.

SSH versus Ping for device_status
by Dano, Leo 03 Nov '16

03 Nov '16

Hi all, I remember back that ssh wasn't supported, in the later versions has this been implemented? We want Observium to notify is a node loses it's ssh capabilities, versus just icmp Thanks, ----------------------- Leo Dano

Device Down false positive
by Sebastian Klute 03 Nov '16

03 Nov '16

Hi Tom, well it cannot really be that the device is marked as down by alert. Test conditions are as follows: device_status_type ping device_status equals 0 If I understand it correctly, even if snmp is not reachable the device should NOT be marked as down, because it is pingable. Therefore I do not understand why it is still marked as down.

Squash the Hamster!
by Marc Elvery 03 Nov '16

03 Nov '16

No, let's not stand on the hamster, put the PNG could be a lot smaller. Using observium on a site with a slow line, during the login, the hamster takes longer to load than needed. When I throw the PNG into https://tinypng.com/ It shrinks from 359KB -> 67KB. Seems worthwile. Maybe some other PNG's can be shrunken aswell? Greetings, Marc

Device Down False positive and snmpget
by Sebastian Klute 02 Nov '16

02 Nov '16

Hello folks, today I got kinda strange problem. I got a Server up and running fine but it is still shown as device down. "Device status changed to Down (ping)" After some debugging and digging into the workflow of polling and checking egc. I tried to redo the different checks that could lead to a device down. First of all: Is it pingable ? root@om:/tmp# /usr/bin/fping -t1000 -t 500 -c 20 -q 84.200.41.226 84.2xx.xxx.xxx : xmt/rcv/%loss = 20/20/0%, min/avg/max = 0.20/0.30/0.43 seems good to me - no idea why it should be down by ping. Is the hostname resolvable? Yes it is. Standart ping with hostname is working fine. So I'll dig further into debug logs and found this CMD[/usr/bin/snmpget -v2c -c *** -Pu -OQUst -m SNMPv2-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp 'udp':'hostname.example':'161' sysObjectID.0 sysUpTime.0] CMD EXITCODE[1] CMD RUNTIME[6.0283s] STDOUT[ ] STDERR[ Timeout: No Response from udp:hostname.example:161. ] SNMP STATUS[FALSE] I wondered why and did it manualy. The error is as followed: Too many object identifiers specified. Only 128 allowed in one request. The question is now, what can I do to solve this issue? What about the false positive device down by ping alert?
