Real time graphs on single page
by Nate Mellendorf 27 Jul '16

27 Jul '16

Observium team, We were curious if it's possible to display multiple real time graphs at once on a single page? It would be great if we could find the ones we want, enable the feature, and display them all full screen in our NOC. Do you know if this is possible, or if it's something on the road map? As the real time graph displays the device and interface name already, it seems like it would work well to just stack them. For now, we're having to load multiple pages in separate windows. Thanks in advance for your time and input on this. Keep up the great work! - Nate

Adding a new application - missing details

26 Jul '16

I sent this Saturday but never got a copy, so im sending again, hope it's not a dupe! Hi, We are running unbound as two instances on our servers, one is a auth with a custom backend and one that is just caching. I have made a copy of all the files and updated names accordingly so they are unbound_auth* and unbound_cache*. Ive looked at the instructions on http://www.observium.org/docs/developing/add_app/ and have made all those changes as well. Under the main apps page how do I get a 2nd link to show up for the unbound app metrics im collecting? Ideally id have one that is Unbound-Auth and one that is Unbound-Cache. When I go under the properties for a server and then applications it shows nothing know as the "unbound" namespace is missing and is either unbound_auth or the unbound_cache (or unbound-auth and unbound-cache in those places). Ive looked around in various files and grep'd everywhere that I can think but can't find where this is at. Also I don't see anything in the database, so not sure what im missing. Thanks!

Getting different results for same interface in original port and the billing port sections

Alert checker sending email notifications every polling round
by Daniel Horth 22 Jul '16

22 Jul '16

Hi all I have an odd alerting issue where I am receiving email alerts about a failed check each time a polling interval passes. Checking the alert_table for the device_id in question I see that it has_alerted = 1 and everything else appears to be in order. Wondering why I am getting repeated alerts, pretty sure with my other alerts I have configured I only get one when the alert triggers and another if the ‘send recovery information” option is checked. Any advice on how to troubleshoot this would be appreciated. I have tried disassociating my email address from the alert and also rebuilt alerts. Thanks

A few Q's for the roadmap...IS-IS support, data sources, etc.
by Aaron Finney 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

I know this has been asked/answered, but the whole archives thing...what's the history behind [the lack of] support for IS-IS data in Observium, are there any plans to add it at any point, and would it be of value to anyone else? Even basics like warning on adjacency changes, tracking neighbors over time, etc. would be great...I would personally find it of value for an additional sanity check during maintenances or outages - an ISIS health overview tab for a device with the ISO address/area, participating interfaces, and stats. Generalizing the data pool: any current thoughts around creating an abstraction layer between Observium and its data source? Mysql as the sole backend presents some challenges for us in trying to scale Observium to production. OBQL? :) Sort-of on the tails of that last question, has there been any discussion about adapting Observium to take advantage of network devices which emit metrics using thrift/protobuf? E.g. using some other data pipeline/collection system as a data source...or even doing the collection itself and doing the necessary quantization/processing to produce a useable view. Last one in that train of thought, any thoughts around incorporating additional data collectors other than simple snmp polling (e.g. facebook's udppinger or fbtracert)?

Alert for port-channel summary?
by Laszlo Nemeth 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

Hello, We have Cisco Nexus switches with VPC configuration. On the switches are configured a portchannel (in VPC with 2x10G ethernet) to the same 3. device. The problem is: I would like to create an alert if the traffic to the 3. device more than 8G I have to get an alert. Now because the 2 nexus just show only the own port-channel traffic, if one portchannel traffic on switch#1 is 6G and on the switch#2 is 5G the 8G alert doesn’t work. But because of the redundancy in this case I have to get an alert because the aggregated traffic is 11G (and if one of the 10G goes down this traffic is overloaded). The alert is: Test: ifOutOctets_perc gt 80 Device Match / Entity Match Hostname match *switch* ifAlias match *to 3. device* So it cover the switch#1 and switch#2 and the port-channel interfaces with description “2x10G to 3. device” but this alert check the port-channels like a line not an aggregated traffic. Is there any option to add two device’s interfaces and create an alert for this summary? Or can I create an alert for a port group aggregated traffic? This would be great in this case too. Thanks BR Laszlo

Frequent drop outs from WebUI

Hi... I am running Observium for quite a while now. But there is one thing that bugs me. I first thought this is a bug and would be fixed at some time but I am updating Observium frequently from svn yet with no change. I am frequently dropped out of Observium with an authentication error. I log in (with LDAP authbackend) just fine. But sometimes after 30 minutes, sometimes even after a few seconds I am dropped out of Observium. When I click the "Remember me" (Cookie) button this lasts a little longer. Sometimes I am immediately kicked directly after logging in. This is also logged in Observiums "Authentication log" as "Authentication Failure" in the very same second as the "Logged in" event occured. Is anything known about this? Or is it just a nifty PHP config variable about session handling I forgot to set? Thanks for your help, Roland

JunOS autodiscovery where SNMP is in a routing-instance
by Jason Lixfeld 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

Hi, I’ve been reading up on how to interact with a JunOS device where the SNMP agent is contained in a VRF (Routing Instance). In order to poll it properly, I’m required to use '<Routing_Instance_Name>@commmunity' instead of just ‘community’. I think I’ve covered this off in the config.php by adding the equivalent to the proper array: $config['snmp']['community'] = array(“comm",”MANAGEMENT@comm”); While reading up on the autodiscovery process itself in the documentation, it says: "Devices must return valid, resolvable sysName” When I poll it manually, sysName returns <Routing_Instance_Name>@hostname: SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: MANAGEMENT(a)lab01.juniper Does that mean MANAGEMENT(a)lab01.juniper needs to resolve, or will Observium truncate MANAGEMENT@ when trying to resolve the rest of what is in sysName? Thanks!

Hi All, I've looked through http://www.observium.org/docs/config_options/ a few times now and can see options for maps - I don't need to use the map feature so how do I turn it off? That is, remove it from the front page? Regards, Sean. This email has been scanned by the ES1000.

Hello, all! If I use port description like "Peering: something [40Mbit]" how can I use speed in Observium? Does interface speed (from IfAlias) saved to DB? I expect that I can see traffic graph and select scale to this speed. http://observium.org/docs/port_descr_parsing/

Making an alert for mapped interfaces
by Heston Kan 18 Jul '16

18 Jul '16

Hey All, I want to create an alert if any interface between two managed/discovered devices in Observium. This includes switchers and routers, servers...etc. I'd also like these to be based on Observium's device Mapping that is available per device. In the checker conditions I'd put hostname matches * but under the checker device and entity association. There's no entity for mapped devices whether it be via CDP/LLDP or detected from observium itself. Perhaps I'm missing the obvious. Thanks! Heston

alert 'time of recovery' reports recovery of previous recovery...
by Henrik Cednert (Filmlance) 18 Jul '16

18 Jul '16

Hello This was touched upon in another discussion but as a sidetrack no solution was found. Pretty much all my alerts 'time or recovery' reports the time of this entities PREVIOUS recovery. So the time reported are always pretty bonkers. I can see that with the help of timestamp on the emails , slack notifications and the timestamp of previous recovery. And for the very first recovery of a device/sensor the duration is list as "unknown". Any idea of what's going on and what I can kick on to make it work properly? =) Cheers and thanks -- Henrik Cednert cto | compositor Filmlance International | www.filmlance.se mobile [ + 46 (0)704 71 89 54 ] skype [ cednert ]

Toner History Graphs
by Richard Franks 15 Jul '16

15 Jul '16

I have a bit of an odd one. I have two printers in my observium install. One has been in for ages (an HP laser jet), the other I added a couple of weeks ago (A sharp MFD photocopier thingy). By the looks of things, the HP has been collecting data correctly for ages, and graphing it nicely. I can see the pretty line that shows that the toner has reduced over time. Oddly, it stopped collecting on the 7th July, and hasn’t graphed anything since then. The Sharp, which has been in less time (since Thursday 7th), has never graphed its toner properly. They are both showing the correct level of toner (well, the Sharp is showing two of them at -3, but I’ve checked the snmp output, and it’s returning -3, so that’s nothing to do with observium). Even more weirdly, the toner level on the weekly graph is showing the correct number. The rest show -nan% The Sharp: The HP: I don’t know much about how the graphing side of things works, so I don’t have much knowledge with which to do any debugging, but happy to send more debug info if required! Thanks, Richard

Incorrect free physical memory for Unix hosts
by Oliver Baker 15 Jul '16

15 Jul '16

Hi, Loving Observium in general but the only issue I'm having is that for all our Unix-like hosts the free memory is reported too literally to be useful. The cached memory pool is included in the "used memory" count, causing almost all our hosts to appear as having less than 5% free physical memory. Is there a way to get free memory not including the cached memory pool? Currently the alert checker I'm using is flagging all our hosts as "out of memory" Many thanks in advance Oliver B

Arch -> extension (since 16.04 upgrade)
by Robert Williams 08 Jul '16

08 Jul '16

Hi, Just completed a release upgrade on Observium itself (14.04 to 16.04) and now it is reporting its own architecture as 'extension'. Wouldn't be an issue really, but every single time it polls it updates the event log like this: I've attached a debug output of the poller as this may help to track it down. Interestingly, a lot of our other servers run 16.04 now but it only reports this for 'itself' - not the others. Anyone have any ideas? Cheers!

poller-wrapper.py does not run, but poller.php does
by Chrys Thorsen 07 Jul '16

07 Jul '16

Hi Guys, Newbie here. I just installed the latest version of Observium (subscription) onto Ubuntu 14. It discovered my Cisco router, 15 Cisco switches, and 4 Microsoft servers no problem. HOWEVER, poller-wrapper.py does not run. Days later, still no polling. I have this line in /etc/cron.d/observium: */5 * * * * root /opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py 16 >> /dev/null 2>&1 If I manually run /opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py I get this error: "ERROR: Could not load or parse observium configuration, are PATHs correct?" If I manually run poller.php, all the devices get polled just fine. I don't have a PATH statement in crontab. I can add one, but I'm not sure exactly what to add. I also notice that Joe Snijder's post says the syntax should have the word "python" after "root". Does that make a difference? Please help! Thanks, Chrys -- Chrys Thorsen Director of Technology and Training

ID of graph changes and "jumps" between storage on server
by Henrik Cednert (Filmlance) 06 Jul '16

06 Jul '16

Hello I have an issue that bugs the heck out of me. Not sure exactly what's going on but in short: First of all, when I write ID I mean the ID in the url when looking at the graph for a storage attached to a server. Like "....//graphs/to=1467822524/id=219/type=storage_usage/from=1467736124/" where the ID is 219. The storage I monitor on this OSX server is connected via iSCSI, NFS, SNFS and Avid ISIS. What happens is that when rebooting or if a storage is disconnected and reconnected the above mentioned ID changes. Not alway but very often and it gives some odd subsequent errors like alert checkers being triggered for the wrong storage. Which I don't know how it's even possible since I assume they're not based on ID in the background? But on these two screenshots an alert was triggered for a storage not in the alert checker. https://www.dropbox.com/s/9ttr7b86hv28pnp/alertChecker01.png https://www.dropbox.com/s/th7rqel88pntpvl/alertChecker02.png It also messes with the minigraphs on the front page since they're hardcoded to an ID. An ID that can have gone missing or changed... It also seems messes with the graphs since in some situations looks like it can get stuck in a mode where wrong storage are monitored and graphed into another storages graph. Real odd and not sure that's really whats going on or if it's snmpd on the server that reports wrong. But it's timed with reboot and or the other isses above. https://www.dropbox.com/s/rdrhetew8nod09o/graphID01.png Have any one had similar issues?

Problems getting Interface stats (IF-MIB)
by Andre Geißler 06 Jul '16

06 Jul '16

Hi For some reason getting interface statistics stopped about 3 weeks ago for some devices. I'm updating observium every day so problem exists for several versions. Affected are only 2 of around a dozen Cisco ASAs. I cannot see this problem on other device types. Under device' MIB properties I can see request timeouts for " *ifInMulticastPkts.18 ifOutMulticastPkts.18 ifInBroadcastPkts.18 ifOutBroadcastPkts.18 ifHCInOctets.18 ifHCOutOctets.18 ifHCInUcastPkts.18 ifHCOutUcastPkts.18 ifHCInMulticastPkts.18 ifHCOutMulticastPkts.18 ifHCInBroadcastPkts.18 ifHCOutBroadcastPkts.18 ifInOctets.18 ifOutOctets.18 ifInUcastPkts.18 ifOutUcastPkts.18 ifInNUcastPkts.18 ifOutNUcastPkts.18 ifInDiscards.18 ifOutDiscards.18 ifInErrors.18 ifOutErrors.18 ifInUnknownProtos.18 ifMtu.18 ifSpeed.18 ifPhysAddress.18 ifAdminStatus.18 ifLastChange.18 ifPromiscuousMode.18 ifConnectorPresent.18" All other values can be read without any problem.* When doing snmpget manually there is also no problem. No difference when using snmp v2c or v3. Any idea or advice? Thanks, Andre **

How to give permissions to view a device
by Tobias Vlasblom 05 Jul '16

05 Jul '16

Hello, I want to give access to a specific device to a specific observium user. This user should not see the other devices that are being monitored by observium. I have created the new user as a normal user (level 1). As expected, when I log into observium this user has access to nothing. My question: where do I configure what devices that this user should have access to? Or where in the device configuration do I configure what users may access the device? I apologize if the answer to this question is obvious and I missed it while googling. Thanks in advance, Tobias

Alert check on custom IOD / Customers and L2TP
by Grégory TRAN 05 Jul '16

05 Jul '16

Hello, Observium is a great tool and I'm still getting my hands on it. I've encountered the following issues and hope somebody can help me : 1) I'm trying to do an alert check on custom IOD but haven't found how to specify this in the check conditions. Is there's any way to do this ? 2) I activate the Customers and L2TP in the config.php file and I'm trying to make it work. Do you have any more informations about how to configure my equipments ? I manage to configure Transit by specifying "transit" on the port and it works great. A colleague of mine told me that there used to be a wiki page about this before but it seems it's not online anymore. Thank you for taking the time to help me. -- Greg

Also, and I suspect these are typical of newbies (although I'm monitoring a few servers just fine), what settings recommended for monitoring a shared website host? Either by IP address or URL?

overview page of Historical availability of specific alertcheckers
by Bastiaan Topper 29 Jun '16

29 Jun '16

Hello, Is there a way to get an overview page of the status of all the historical availability graphs of a specific alert type? So for example a page with all the DeviceDown alert type checks, with per device the row of graphs of the historical availability of the check. And preferably filtered by the devices in a group. For example, something looking like this: [cid:image001.png@01D1D1F7.867E5A90] What I try to achieve is an overview of the availability of devices for a specific group (for example a customer). Kind regards, Bastiaan Topper

Billing fails on specific interfaces

Hi! I was testing billing and with certain interfaces it reports no data, despite the graphs clearly showing data. My thought is that it may relate to the interface name as it works well with other products and interface names. The "special" think is that the interface name has a colon in it. Have anyone seen this before ? See output : Bill : Test bill Polling nac-vv01-01:e1b on nac-vv01.xyz.com time: 1466805074|0 period:1466805074 No data.

Debuging slow SNMP-queries
by Markus Klock 27 Jun '16

Hey guys, I noticed I have some devices in my network that are responding very slow on just some specific SNMP-queries so I hacked together a small script that will parse the debug-output of Observium poller or discovery and then show you a list of the snmp-commands that took the longest to complete. I wrote a blogpost on how to use it here: http://blog.best-practice.se/2016/06/observium-performance-tuning.html and you can download the script from github: https://github.com/ZerxXxes/observium-logparser [image: Infogad bild 1] It was very helpful in finding what devices needed a software update ;) I hope it can be useful for others too /Markus

You should monitor your Dell server using snmp on the idrac itself like its a different device. The most important thing is the global status It will display in alert in the statuses front page. The global status is the color of the led when it's amber you have an issue. Now you will be able to see that in observium as well. Good luck.

SNMP just sometimes has a hickup. Although usually I don’t have these, but in order to prevent panic/heart attacks, I did introduce that 1 time delay on my device down alerts. Haven you applied alert checkers on port-errors all around your network as well? CRC/port errors, and things like these you might want to fix first before you actually get in to device down alerting. Just a simple "ifInErrors_rate gt 0 & ifOutErrors_rate gt 0 on ifType equals ethernetCsmacd” alert-check will give you all these ports. you’d be surprised how much stuff is wrong in an average network. Also certainly check the port to which your observium machine is connected to, and make sure to monitor your observium machine as well, make sure your machine is well specced out. In addition to this, I’ve configured IP SLA on all our core routers to see/verify that latency on our links is within the SLA parameters of our suppliers. Do this before you check on devices down.

Re: [Observium] Delay the alert trigger in case of loss only one ping
by ron＠rjr-services.com 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '16

I'll echo this sentiment. We were seeing a large number of false positives because of lack of SNMP response from some devices even though they were responding to pings without problem. Setting a delay of 1 reduced the number of alerts we were seeing substantially. We do still get a couple devices that will fail both checks, usually right after the discovery run, and we'll get an alarm on that, but it clears itself next poll. Damn Cat6509s and Nexus 1000Vs. ;-) Sent from my Verizon 4G LTE smartphone -------- Original message -------- From: "Moerman, Maarten" <mmoerman(a)ebay.com> Date: 6/27/16 4:39 AM (GMT-06:00) To: Observium Network Observation System <observium(a)observium.org> Subject: Re: [Observium] Delay the alert trigger in case of loss only one ping -- This message has been scanned by E.F.A.

Hi Peter, Thx for your answer and its check-list... which helped me to find my mistake and to solve the problem when you run the agent manually on the affected server, does it return an output /usr/lib/observium_agent/local/apache <<<apache>>> 56775 No. If not, do you use vhosts ?

Graphs with Color Coded Percent Utilization
by Gumilar Siegfried 24 Jun '16

24 Jun '16

Hello, I am currently trying to completely replace our cacti installation with Observium. One of the last things that make me hold on to cacti are these kind of graphs: [cid:image001.gif@01D1C580.2CFF4E30] The graphs are described here: http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=8520 We have put the most important interfaces on our NOC screen and can immediately recognize if some interfaces are under unusual high load. Is there a way I can achieve something similar with Observium? Thanks, Regards Siegfried

One of my Apache servers do not show
by Bernard Savonet (M) 24 Jun '16

24 Jun '16

Hi, I've recently added some hosts to my monitored services. - All are running Apache 2.4 so I applied the Apache configuration as described at http://www.observium.org/docs/apps/#apache - All except one show the Apache application info as expected. - Except for the missing Apache info, this site is correctly reported (so general snmp / xinet config are fine) - I have carefully reviewed the different points for this host and Apache config, all is nominal. Which are the points I might have done wrong in the checklist? Which other points not in the checklist should I look at? Thx for your help Bernard

Alert Checker for memory?
by Dano, Leo 23 Jun '16

23 Jun '16

I created an alert to let me know when a host uses over 90% of its memory. The problem is that linux uses over that in "cached" memory. Is there a way to exclude cached memory? Physical and Swap are fine. I am using mempool_perc greater 90 in Check Conditions. Thanks, ----------------------- Leo Dano

CAS authentication
by Josep Manel Andrés 21 Jun '16

21 Jun '16

Hi all, I've seen that CAS authentication is already integrated, but I've found no documentation. I've tried to set: vi /opt/observium/config.php // Authentication Model $config['auth_mechanism'] = 'cas'; $config['auth_cas_host'] = 'cas02.domain.es'; $config['auth_cas_port'] = '443'; $config['auth_cas_context'] = 'cas'; $config['auth_cas_ca_cert'] = '/etc/tls/cacert/DigiCertCA'; //$config['auth_mechanism'] = "http-auth"; //$config['http_auth_guest'] = "admin"; but it didn't work, I get "Error: Internal script failure" which comes from phpcas. I've installed the latest version of phpcas from the original source.

Adam, it looks like you weighed in a little bit with the Netonix guys a year and a half ago about getting support for their switches in. They've got their own enterprise number now and many others are having great success using it. Any thoughts and getting full support in (the paid for version of) Observium? I can get use SNMP access to a test device if you'd like. http://forum.netonix.com/viewtopic.php?p=2072#p2072 Robbie Wright Siuslaw Broadband <https://siuslawbroadband.com> 541-902-5101
