HDD SMART Monitoring
by Daniel Wandrei 23 Dec '15

23 Dec '15

I have a few Linux Server running Debian which I want to monitor with Observium. Most important HDD SMART data. Ive already smartd running but like to have all data in one place (Observium). Ive have found no way to collect the SMART values, either with SNMP nor with the Unix Agent. Is there any way not documented or which I may have overseen? Regards Daniel

Support for Sophos UTM routers
by Kieron Goucher 23 Dec '15

23 Dec '15

Hi I've recently started using observium and I'm interested to know if observium can recognise Sophos UTM routers. I have 3 of these devices and they are detected as Linux servers in my observium. The Sophos UTM provide MIB download from the device itself. Thanks Kieron Sent from Outlook Mobile<https://aka.ms/qtex0l> Kieron Goucher IT Manager Murphy Surveys Ltd.

Graphing Voice Calls
by Matthias Cramer 23 Dec '15

23 Dec '15

Hi Observium Team I like to fetch and graph the voice call count of a SIP Voice Gateway in the form of calls per minute. Is there already something similar available or do I have to start from scratch and define graphs and such? Is there a conceptual way of doing that?

Alerts options
by Andrea 23 Dec '15

23 Dec '15

Hi, I'm interested in the professional edition to activate alerts, but I didn't understand exactly what it's possible to configure. I have 2 questions about them: 1) Is it possible to configure checks only every 5 minutes, or is there some way to configure some devices to be polled for example every 30 seconds only for some specific check? 2) Is it possible to monitor and set alerts only about snmp checks, or is there some way to configure monitor and alerts about tcp/udp query? For example to check if http/smtp/pop3/imap ports are working? Thanks! Andrea

SNMP Query AIX Host
by FalkE 23 Dec '15

23 Dec '15

Hello everybody, I'm exploring Observium for a few days now and I really like it! I've added some Linux hosts using SNMP and it works like a charm. However, in conjuntion with IBM AIX, I got some problems: Using SNMP, I only get very basic information about OS level and network interfaces. There is no data about cpu, memory and storage usage. I'm using SNMPv1 for now. Could this be the problem? Is some data only available for v2c and v3? If so, can someone give me a sample configuration for SNMPv2c or SNMPv3 on AIX? Kind regards, Manuel

Unix Agent and Raspberry Pi
by gt＠gt1.net 22 Dec '15

22 Dec '15

Hello, I set up Observium to monitor a RPi device with Unix Agent and RPi script. I see the hardware sensors from RPi on the Observium interface, however all of them show zero values. When running /usr/bin/observium-agent on the RPi, all sensor data is displayed in the dump, but when I try telnet RPi 36602 from the server, the sensor data in the dump shows 0s. What could be the issue? Gennadiy.

How to shush alarms for sensors that lie...
by Robert Williams 21 Dec '15

21 Dec '15

Hi, The recent changes to the homepage layout have placed more attention on the summary statistics (alerted ports, alerted sensors etc.) which previously were not as visible. A positive side-effect of this has been the setting of more 'appropriate' manual thresholds for many of the less important sensors, to tidy them up. It has revealed one issue though, which I'm not sure how to work around. Take the following example: As you can see, the (unrealistic) dBm being reported by the Cisco chassis is stuck in a 'warning' state, despite having alarms disabled, the threshold on manual and thresholds set well clear of the 8.1dBm which it is reporting. (This port actually has a copper-converter in it, hence, the dBm is just rubbish spat out by an adapter which doesn't understand copper) So despite my best efforts to silence this warning, it still persists as a 'down' sensor, on the summary page showing up in red. (Not ignored, but actually down). We have quite a few of these adapters as well as a large number of voltage sensors (again, courtesy Cisco entity SNMP crapness) which are being reported as zero volts. These are also set to 'ignore' but continue to show as 'down' on the new summary homepage, some examples below: So - Does anyone know how I can totally and completely ignore/hide the broken sensors like these? Cheers! Robert Williams Custodian Data Centre Email: Robert(a)CustodianDC.com http://www.CustodianDC.com

Re: [Observium] Layout & Style Changes
by Kent Johannessen 21 Dec '15

21 Dec '15

Hi Adam, I am all for a flat design, which is the modern thing today (apparently:)). Some thoughts from me. Background: Does not make the site look good. Sorry. Have a color as previously, or maybe something like the grid background from before (probably a year ago). Icons: Removal of icons, maybe mostly in the device page makes it hard to quickly identify what you are looking for. (reading is boring). Right panel: I see some use for this. But should also be able to disable. Device page: On some resolutions it seems to create three rows, which make the right side too cramped. Had some more thoughts earlier today, but too late now to remember all :D Are there any plans to move completely to bootstrap 3?

Hi All, this is a bit of a daft question, I actually deleted one of our bridges on our mikrotik switches, and had to recreate them, DOH! the observium, then discovered the new bridge, but deleted the old bridge (marked as deleted)? now i have no graphs with old data in them for the new bridge :( can i join the new bridge and old bridge ports together in observium so i can see the old graphs in the new bridge? regards Simon

Layout & Style Changes
by Adam Armstrong 18 Dec '15

18 Dec '15

Hi All, Those of you running trunk and updating regularly might have noticed some layout/style changes in the past day or two. We've been running the old "shiny" style for about 3 years and thought it was about time we updated it, and have opted for a more "flat" design. Simplifying the stylistic elements has made it a bit easier for us to do certain things, since the old style was a little clumsy on things like horizontal boxes (check out the docs side bar for proof!). We've also added a wide layout for screens of ~1920 pixels wide which we plan to move some data too. This can already been seen on the /device/ /devices/ and /ports/ page, where some data, graphs and search forms are moved to the left hand pane. If anyone has any suggestions on what should/could go in that pane on various pages, now is the time to suggest it. Similarly any suggestions on the new styling should also be made now, before we move on to something else! :) Thanks, adam.

Observium and PHP7
by Markus Klock 18 Dec '15

18 Dec '15

Good news everyone! PHP7 is out and promise great performance to all PHP-applications. I tried it out this weekend on my Observium-installation and it did not disappoint! I have a rather large Observium and some of you that runs very large installations may have noticed that the web UI can get a little slow when rendering all the stuff from a large database. In my case the overview-page loads in about 5s and some of the more heavy pages like /devices/ takes about 7s to load. Well after upgrading to PHP7 my page loadtimes are now down to <1.5s for almost any page and atleast <2s for the heavy ones, I got a 2-3x performance boost! If you want to try it out I made a quick guide on how to run Observium on PHP7 here: http://blog.best-practice.se/2015/12/vastly-improve-observium-performance.h… Note that I don't know if everything in Observium is fully compatible with PHP7, I tried as many features as I could think of with no problems, however I have not tried the billing-module. Even if most of you don't have need for a speedup in the web UI, its great to see PHP improve performance like this. This means Observium will be able to scale even further in the future :) /Markus

broken app (apache/mysql) integration
by Nils Podzich 18 Dec '15

18 Dec '15

Hello, I have some problems with the 7274 version and the apps. Especially with the mysql and apache app. Mailgraph seems to work fine, the others are not tested. The app script of mysql/apache seem to run fine, if I telnet to 36602 I get output which seems valid to me - and is similar to a release where apache is working. I have no working version of mysql for comparison at the moment. I think I narrowed to problem down. If I try to run the poller-script manually in debug there is an error ---snip--- SQL[SELECT * FROM `applications` WHERE `device_id` = '40' AND `app_type` = 'mysql'] SQL RUNTIME[0.00032902s] Including: applications/mysql.inc.php mysql SQL[SELECT * FROM `applications` WHERE `device_id` = '40' AND `app_type` = 'mysql' AND `app_instance` IS NULL] SQL RUNTIME[0.00021815s] + SQL[INSERT INTO `applications` (`device_id`,`app_type`,`app_instance`) VALUES ('40','mysql','')] SQL RUNTIME[0.00914192s] ERROR[Error in query: (Duplicate entry '40-mysql-' for key 'dev_type_inst') 1062] ---snip--- SQL[SELECT * FROM `applications` WHERE `device_id` = '38' AND `app_type` = 'apache'] SQL RUNTIME[0.00032187s] Including: applications/apache.inc.php apache SQL[SELECT * FROM `applications` WHERE `device_id` = '38' AND `app_type` = 'apache' AND `app_instance` IS NULL] SQL RUNTIME[0.00016117s] + SQL[INSERT INTO `applications` (`device_id`,`app_type`,`app_instance`) VALUES ('38','apache','')] SQL RUNTIME[0.00899100s] ERROR[Error in query: (Duplicate entry '38-apache-' for key 'dev_type_inst') 1062] ---snip--- The hosts are newly added. I also did a restore of the observium machine because I thought I somehow broke it by adding and testing... but the problems return with readding the hosts. The graphs are showing mainly nothing which is not surprising I think The grahics are there but no values.... I noticed that the demo installation shows similar problems or. graphics, at least for the mysql. Apache seems to work there which it doesn't for me. http://demo.observium.org/apps/app=mysql/ Additionally I have problems removing a group definition. When you click "delete" it always shows "edit" which it makes hard to remove the group because of a typo. Can anyone help me? Am I doing something wrong? Thank you, Best regards Nils

New alert options
by Anders Johansson 17 Dec '15

17 Dec '15

Hi, After upgrading to the latest Observium (pro) I've noticed a lot of new alerting destination options. Just curios. * Are they all implemented or just in UI? * If any are activated, how do I configure them? We have internal email to SMS gateways, would it be possible to create one that uses a specific SMS template? I'd like to keep my sms messages short and don't mind creating one myself. When I looked at the code last time it didn't seems to be to much trouble, but perhaps it easier know when some of the code might be written? //Anders

Deleting and re-syncing includes didn't work, though I was able to get it to run successfully by swapping these two lines in update.php include_once("includes/definitions.inc.php"); include("includes/functions.inc.php"); get_obs_attrib is defined in 'includes/common.inc.php', but that is only getting included into update.php through 'includes/functions.inc.php'.

update.php fails to run on latest svn release 7273
by Jason Scholl 16 Dec '15

16 Dec '15

I just attempted to upgrade to release 7273 and update.php fails to run. It gives no output (just return code 255), and logs nothing to update-errors.log or any other log file. My php skills are pretty weak, but a bit of "got here" debugging lead me through the following. includes/update/update.php 21: include_once("includes/definitions.inc.php"); #bailed on this line includes/definitions.inc.php 513: $rev_old = @get_obs_attrib('current_rev'); #bailed on this line I wasn't able to track it down any further than that because I couldn't even seem to get get_obs_attrib to execute. As a last ditch effort, I also tried commenting out all of my config except the absolutely required pieces, but it still failed in the same way. Is anyone else having this problem or have any ideas?

Contact Destination - Local file
by Spencer Ryan 16 Dec '15

16 Dec '15

Would it be possible to add a local file option to the providers for a contact? There are situations where we would like to manipulate the data with a script of our own based on triggered alerts and recoveries and instead of mucking around the DB by hand having Observium write out the alerts to a file would be the easiest. Maybe just have it take a path and just >> the alert contents to whatever the user enters? *Spencer Ryan* | Senior Systems Administrator | sryan(a)arbor.net *Arbor Networks* +1.734.794.5033 (d) | +1.734.846.2053 (m) www.arbornetworks.com

Not alerting (probably user fail)
by Robert Williams 16 Dec '15

16 Dec '15

Hi, We've just finished migrating some of our monitoring targets to an additional instance of Observium, everything is polling fine and all the historic data etc. has been moved OK. The only thing which remains broken is that none of the alerts are actually sending their emails. They do show as being in an alert state OK, for example: However, no actual 'Alerted' time is ever recorded - and no email is ever sent. The sendmail element works fine with: sendmail -vt < testmail.txt The test contains the correct FROM and DEFAULT from the config.php in Observium and this delivers fine. Problem is, it was a very long time ago that I originally configured Observium alerting on the first box and I'm probably missing something stupid. Relevant config sections below: Both of these sections are identical to the working system they were copied from, which works fine. The postfix config is also identical to the working server and I'm confident postfix is OK as the test from it are fine: myhostname = OBSERVIUM.x.y alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases myorigin = /etc/mailname mydestination = OBSERVIUM, OBSERVIUM.x.y, localhost relayhost = 1.2.3.4 mailbox_size_limit = 0 recipient_delimiter = + Can anyone assist by pointing me at the switch I've obviously failed to turn on, or let me know what additional debugs I can provide to help track this?

RRD Perms Issue - Error Drawing Graph
by Robbie Wright 15 Dec '15

Recently upgraded from 69xx to 72xx after we renewed our license and it broke all of our RRD's, resulting in the "Error Drawing Graph" issue. Running this "./poller.php -h <hostname> -m ports -d" gives me two noticeable, but unobjectionable to me things: SNMP_STATUS[TRUE] o Device status Device is reachable by PING (8.28ms) and SNMP (81.63ms) RRD CMD[update /opt/observium/rrd/hostname/status.rrd N:1] RRD RUNTIME[0.0012s] RRD STDOUT[ERROR: opening '/opt/observium/rrd/hostname/status.rrd': Permission denied] RRD_STATUS[FALSE] and this at the end of the results: Log file '/opt/observium/logs/observium.log' is not writable, check file permissions. So clearly some type of permission issue but not sure what happened during the upgrade that would have caused this. Any thoughts on what chmod's need to be set on the directories or what else could have went haywire? Robbie Wright Siuslaw Broadband <https://siuslawbroadband.com> 541-902-5101

Address for billing
by Robbie Wright 15 Dec '15

15 Dec '15

Sorry for the mass email here, but trying to renew our sub to Observium and our CC is getting declined, with the banking tell us the billing address doesn't match what Observium's credit card processor has on file. I don't see a way to update our address in our account on Observium's system or with Paddle or whoever. Thoughts? Aside from using PayPal?

Arista Light levels reading
by Tomas Morales 14 Dec '15

14 Dec '15

Hi We are trying to monitor the light levels in fibre ports in our Arista switches but looks like it is no managed properly if we compare with a Brocade router. See attached the screenshoots for each device. For Arista, we see the "DOM TX" and "DOM RX" entries taken as "Power" but in Brocade they are taken as "dBm". I can provide the database output if required. I can see differences in the sensor table for sensors from Arista and Brocade devices. Any advice regarding how to fix this?

With RH 6.6 and 6.7 (I've not tried earlier) I've found that putting realStorageUnits 0 in snmpd.conf (and obviously restarting the daemon) appears to provide a fix.

Hi!, is anyone using external authentication with kerberos?, I have an old version (4586) running without issues with sles11+apache+kerberos but trying to run a current release (7203) on the same host, it's like apache doesn't accept the user/password pair (keeps asking for them). It might be a misconfiguration, but I would like to know if anyone else is using a similar configuration nowadays or has comments about it. Regards, -- Ciro Iriarte http://iriarte.it --

Alerting - match multiple ASNs ?
by Robert Williams 10 Dec '15

10 Dec '15

Hi, What’s the correct syntax for an entity match which will match a selection of ASNs? I need an alert checker which will look for a specific set of ASNs and alert for any BGP session being not-up. Currently for our iBGP we use: [Conditions] bgpPeerState ne established bgpPeerAdminStatus notequals stop [Device] * [Entity Match] bgpPeerRemoteAs match <ourASN> This works perfectly. Now – what I’m after is that I need a new checker which will match eBGP ASNs like 174,3356,2914,5580 etc. all in one rule (the ‘important’ ASNs, for want of a better term). I have tried a selection of things but I’m obviously missing what the logical ‘or’ element should be in this case, as all my attempts at using multiple ASNs within a match just result in zero matches. Can someone point me in the right direction please? Cheers! Robert Williams Custodian Data Centre Email: Robert(a)CustodianDC.com http://www.CustodianDC.com

Quagga with SNMP support.
by Gabriel Zamorski 08 Dec '15

08 Dec '15

Hello, Does anyone have a experience with snmp support in Quagga on Debian 7/8? I installed Quagga with SNMP support (smux or agentx) and configured Quagga to use snmp, but Observium doesn't see anything except an AS number. In Properties > MIBs section there are a couple of errors like: - bgpLocalAs.0 1m 28s ago SNMP error - .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.2.196608 (608 to 619) SNMP error On the other hand, in a similar configuration in VyOS everything works fine. I'm not sure if it depends on patched quagga on VyOS or a misconfiguration in my environment. Regards! Gabriel

Re: [Observium] Everything is DOWN after svn UP :-)
by Richard Müller 08 Dec '15

Hy *, I also experienced this issue some minutes ago. My reason was that "someone" (svn?) created a .index file in the MIB Directory, which caused snmpwalk to die: root@horstname:/opt/observium# /usr/bin/snmpget -v2c -c '***' -Pu -OQUst -m SNMPv2-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp 'udp':'horstname2':'161' sysObjectID.0 sysUpTime.0 add_mibdir: strings scanned in from /opt/observium/mibs/rfc/.index are too large. count = 136 MIB search path: /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp Cannot find module (SNMPv2-MIB): At line 0 in (none) sysObjectID.0: Unknown Object Identifier (Sub-id not found: (top) -> sysObjectID) sysUpTime.0: Unknown Object Identifier (Sub-id not found: (top) -> sysUpTime) removing the /opt/observium/mibs/rfc/.index file fixed the glitch - does anybody know whats the purpose of these files and where do they come from?

Regex in an entity match not working right
by Spencer Ryan 07 Dec '15

07 Dec '15

Hi All, I'm trying to match ports with the name port-channel1 through 19, and the "match" keyword isn't doing what I want. What I think is correct is "ifName match port-channel([1-9]|1[0-9])" However that gives me 0 matches. If I change it to something like ifName match port-channel*" I get all the port channels, so it's matching the device properly, but for this alert checker I just need port channels 1-19. Any ideas? I've tried a bunch of combinations and nothing seems to work right. Even "port-channel." doesn't match the additional character. *Spencer Ryan* | Senior Systems Administrator | sryan(a)arbor.net *Arbor Networks* +1.734.794.5033 (d) | +1.734.846.2053 (m) www.arbornetworks.com

UNIX Agent
by Alex Winder ＠ M5i 05 Dec '15

05 Dec '15

Hi all, I'm currently trying to get the UNIX agent for Observium working with some of our hosts so that we can obtain more data for applications, primarily NGINX. We are now seeing data on the agent execution time graph. We are getting responses from the Observium host to the NGINX host via Telnet, and receiving information about NGINX. We are getting the NGINX status information through Lynx on the localhost.

monitor tmpfs storage
by Simon Smith 04 Dec '15

04 Dec '15

Hi All, just moved our RRDs to tmpfs storage, and WOW I noticed a speed difference, not only in the graphs, but also in the IO load should of looked at http://observium.org/docs/persistent_ramdisk/ in the past DOH! however i’ve just noticed the observium isn’t showing it as a storage mount? can observium monitor actually monitor it at all ? also I’ve set my limit at 10GB as the server has 12GB of RAM, and the RRD folder is currently at 6.8GB bit of a stupid question but what happens if I’m close to the limit? as i knackered? more RAM server? regards Simon - Hestor Ltd

Alert Threshold for CBQoS drops
by Robert Williams 04 Dec '15

04 Dec '15

Hi, Is it possible to have alert elements/metrics which use data collected from CBQoS, like drops for example? Reason for request - we would like to get alerting for certain types of port (CORE for example) where QoS is performing drops. Currently (in another system) we poll a global statistic which gives us the 'total' number of drops per chassis or LC, but this does nothing more than point towards a chassis or line-card. A human then have to pick their way through the CBQoS stats to try to see where it was (if it was big), which very time consumptive. The statistics and framework all appear to be in place within Observium, just need to know if there are some metric conditions which can use CBQoS as a trigger, like ifCBQoSDrops_rate > 10 for example? So, is this already possible? Or should I make a feature request? Cheers all! Robert Williams Custodian Data Centre Email: Robert(a)CustodianDC.com http://www.CustodianDC.com

Everything is DOWN after svn UP :-)
by Gabriel Zamorski 04 Dec '15

04 Dec '15

Hello, Yesterday after upgrading observium (like everyday morning) we got hundreds of alerts. It seems that observium could not connect to any machine using SNMP - I checked this from console via ./poller.php and every server was unreachable, so I had to rollback to the earlier revision. Do you know anything about this? Regards, G.

CBQOS does not appear to work under NX-OS
by Stephen Fulton 04 Dec '15

04 Dec '15

Hi there, I have a Cisco Nexus 7k running the NX-OS 6.2 train, and I've noticed that while Observium picks up on CBQOS for interfaces, there is no data being graphed. Observium does detect the class-maps/policy-maps, but no results in the graphs. There are errors on one port that should be picked up, but I'm not seeing it reflected. What can be done? BTW, I'm using the subscription version, latest stable (0.15.11.7203). -- Stephen

Zenoss Integration Sync
by Rudy Pancaro 04 Dec '15

04 Dec '15

Has anyone every integrated Observium and Zenoss together. Zenoss is another networking monitoring platform, but the platform could use a more friendly GUI. The Observium GUI is very nice. Please let me know if this is possible. I believe that Observium and Nagios integrates with one another, but our organization uses Zenoss. Thank you.

Device check and down alert question
by Ron Culler 03 Dec '15

03 Dec '15

I have noticed that I see down notices in Observium often when the snmp check fails (I have only seen this when checking servers (Windows/Linux). The device is up and a ping/icmp check would see this but because the snmp check had a problem I get a down indication. Sometimes it has to deal with the snmp service on the host being checked hanging or crashing, other times I have seen load or congestion cause it. Is there an option or would it make sense to add a feature that would check snmp first and in the event of an error fall back and do a ping/icmp check to see if the device is up or not? It would be beneficial to see if the server is up and get a notice about a snmp check failure. I could also see a check flow that would check snmp first, if it errored it would check with a ping, if the ping returns wait for the next snmp check before sending the notice or marking the device down.

recreate interface to down/up -event
by Geno 03 Dec '15

03 Dec '15

Hallo, i have the following problem. I server of mine a VPN-Service. This vpn-service restart some times (and with it it recreate a network interface with the same name "vpn-interface"). Observium delete the interface and create a new one (with the same name). The Question, is it possible to detect it and make a down up event out of it (and a mac change)? So it will use the same rrds, graphs and so on. Nice Wishes Geno

Creating a table with Unix-agent

Using the unix agent I can create graphs, but what if I wanted to just add a table to the apps tab?

I upgrade to 0.15.11.7224 (30th November 2015) today and noticed that my webpage doesn’t display widescreen anymore. Both the normal and widescreen display the same way.

API Details
by Kyle Hunter 01 Dec '15

Hey, I’ve been looking around and there appears to be 2 different APIs in observium. Is there a specific one which will be removed and the other updated?

Disable CDP neighbour discovery?
by Ulrik Ivers 30 Nov '15

30 Nov '15

Hi, Is it possible to disable neighbour discovery via CDP but still leave it enabled for LLDP? The reason for asking is that we are a 100% LLDP shop, but some equipment run both CDP and LLDP. When looking at the tab "Neighbours" of such a device the neighbours are listed twice, one with protocol LLDP and one with protocol CDP. We would like to only do neighbour discovery via LLDP, if possible. I've looked through the options files and the documentation but haven't been able to find a setting to disable CDP. Regards, /Ulrik Ivers

Location menu - hierarchical without GeoLocation?
by Ulrik Ivers 30 Nov '15

30 Nov '15

Hi again, Corrected some typos to make the explanation a bit more understandable ... /Ulrik Hi, Trying to figure out whether it's possible to have the Location menu on the front page being hierarchical with GeoLocation DISABLED. Is this possible? Running version 7203. Our snmp location strings in our devices are on the format of: City, Building, Floor We'd like to have the Location menu on the frontpage being displayed hierarchical something like this: Location City A [3] Building A [3] Floor X [2] Floor Y [1] At the moment the menu looks like this with THREE devices of which TWO have the same location string Location City A, Building A, Floor X City A, Building A, Floor Y Any suggestions would be welcome. Regards, /Ulrik Ivers

GeoLocation not correct
by Scott A. Davis 27 Nov '15

27 Nov '15

Hi - Not sure if this is an Observium issue or not, but in all the time I've used the community version, I've never had this problem. My screen shot is here: http://imgur.com/D9waqhG I have 3 servers. Two in TX, which show up accurately, and one in Atlanta, which shows up in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. Observium shows its location as "Unknown" my snmpd.conf is as follows (with XXXXX marking non-relevant info) syslocation Atlanta, Georgia rocommunity XXXXXX sysname tsundoku.XXXXXXX.XXX syscontact scott.a.davis(a)gmail.com I have other servers with similar snmpd.conf on that map showing up fine. For syslocation, I have also tried Atlanta, Atlanta, GA, etc ... Nothing changes. Any reason why this would happen? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Custom OIDs are fantastic
by Tim Vaughan 27 Nov '15

Just wanted to say thankyou for adding support for Custom OIDs. Using a combination of this article http://www.maartenmoerman.nl/?p=649 and this one http://awesomeadmin.blogspot.co.uk/2009/11/monitoring-cisco-wireless-contro… I was able to add graphs to track how many clients are on each of our individual access points. So far I think it's working, even if it is a pain to calculate which AP MAC address translates to which OID....

I see I can create custom contacts, but I don't see a way to associate an alert check to that contact. Am I just missing this? I saw an old post from adam saying there was no way to do it in the UI but that was a few months ago. I'd really like to define a destination email address for specific alert checks in our use case.

MySQL application

25 Nov '15

The instructions for configuring the MySQL application at https://observium.org/w/Application/MySQL are unclear about where the database user must be created. Do the user create steps need to be done on every host running MySQL that you want to monitor, or just once on the Observium server? I assume that it's the former, just looking for clarification.

Debugging rsyslog
by Tim Vaughan 24 Nov '15

24 Nov '15

I have a number of devices on separate VLANs to my Observium server. They are configured to send their logs via syslog to Observium. I have firewall rules in place on our router to allow this traffic between VLANs and I can see the traffic being passed in firewall logs. However, the log messages never seem to make it into Observium. How can I go about debugging rsyslog to see whether the logs arrive correctly at the server and are correctly processed by rsyslogd?

Re: [Observium] How to delete ports of devices?
by Tim Toepp 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

Chaman, Are they actually down? Meaning not being used? Or are you saying they are being incorrectly reported? So if they are actually down and you are asking how to NOT see the down ports in your listing: when you are on the GUI and you are looking at the Ports of a specific Device, click under Quick Filter you can hide different ports based on their status and one of the option is 'Hide Down'. The downside is that it doesn't retain and I haven't found a system wide setting/preference. If this works for you, what you could do is submit a feature request to make it a global setting not just a Quick Filter. But you really do not want to delete ports that are down as then you'll have to add them later when they become in use.

Hello All, I want to keep the default layout of the front page with one change: replace the map with a traffic graph. When I tried this using the [frontpage][order] line (removed map from order and put in a custom graph, included EVERYTHING else) , the "Devices,Ports,Sensors" table at the top diapered. How do i get it back? Even if the answer is as simple as RTFM-pages #-## that would help. Thanks, Joshua Bierman Director of Technology Yeshivat Noam

Monitoring Snom phones

Hi, I'm trying to add several Snom 710 phones. The documentation says they will accept SNMP requests (http://wiki.snom.com/Category:HowTo:SNMP). However, I can't add it from Observium even if I enter my installation's IP address as trusted in the phone config. Checking the phone logs after trying to add them, I see: 17/11/2015 11:19:53 [NOTICE] TOOLS: SNMP: Received unknown object identifier 06082b06010201010200 17/11/2015 11:19:53 [NOTICE] TOOLS: SNMP: Received unknown object identifier 06082b06010201010300 17/11/2015 11:20:03 [NOTICE] TOOLS: SNMP: Received unknown object identifier 06082b06010201010200 17/11/2015 11:20:03 [NOTICE] TOOLS: SNMP: Received unknown object identifier 06082b06010201010300 Has anyone managed to get their Snom phones talking to Observium? -- Mobile: 07868246225 Skype: tvaughan Twitter: twitter.com/tvaughan

Setting Location
by Josh Hopper 19 Nov '15

19 Nov '15

Is there a way via command line to set the Location of a device? For example, in the GUI you click on a given device and hover over the Gear in the far right. Then click Properties. Under the Device Settings tab there is a Custom Location. This is the location I would like to set. I ran an SNMP Enabler tool and enabled, set and added 100 devices today to Observium. Rather than set this individually, I was hoping I could do it in bulk via SSH. -- Sincerely, Joshua Hopper, A+ CE Sr. Network Administrator [cid:image001.jpg@01D11BAA.500B4080] 420 3rd Ave NW Hickory NC 28601 Office: 828-449-1839x2160 | Cell: 828-855-7565

Who's running Observium on distros that aren't Ubuntu/Debian/RHEL/CentOS?
by Adam Armstrong 19 Nov '15

19 Nov '15

Hi Guys, Are any of you running Observium on distros which aren't the ones we recommend? Did you have to do anything special? I think we're probably way more friendly to non-debian distros now that we've lost a lot of legacy stuff! Thanks, adam.

Question about Map Locations, Geocoding and SNMP
by Ximena Cardinali 17 Nov '15

17 Nov '15

Hello There, Here's the situation: Last week we changed our Geocoding API to yandex, just for the sake of testing. After that, our map Locations looked really funny. Then, we changed back to mapquest and now our map shows just the Atlantic Ocean. Before that, we had no Geocoding API on our Observium config. Our Locations were all being retrieved from the SNMP Config (sysLocation) from all our devices. I also tried with "$config['geocoding']['enable'] = FALSE;" and with "$config['location_menu_geocoded'] = FALSE;" but I still get the ocean. So here's my stupid question: How can I go back to our first Status, where all Locations are retrieved per SNMP without Geocoding and our Map shows back the Devices as we had in the Setup? Thanks! --- *Ximena E. Cardinali *| Linux SysAdmin

New Observium install showing text where PHP should be?
by linuxthefish 16 Nov '15

16 Nov '15

Hi, I've just followed the Observium install instructions and I have a strange issue with Observium's PHP files. I'm not sure if this is an Apache issue as I don't use Apache and installed it as the instructions said, but I created a phpinfo file and it ran fine! This was first seen with the Subscription edition, but I've removed that and tried the community edition with the same problems. the issue is that observium is showing a file that starts with the following in my browser: <?php /** * Observium * * This file is part of Observium. * * @package observium * @subpackage webinterface * @author Adam Armstrong <adama(a)memetic.org> * @copyright (C) 2006-2015 Adam Armstrong * */ Thanks, Edmund

Hi All I have a server that is running Observium with Unix Agent and everything is ok. Recently I installed a second remote server and is a SNMP client on my observium. Because this server is running Power DNS I would enable the UNIX-AGENT om this client and see the graphs for pdns on my Observium. Can anyone assist me on this? Thank You very much Federico

Does per-user permission exist in LDAP?
by Cody Cook 15 Nov '15

15 Nov '15

Now that I'm LDAP authenticating to my domain, am I completely restricted to using auth_ldap_groups to set permissions? In the UI, I can go to User > Edit Users, drop down the list to see my domain users, but when I try to apply changes to these users (setting Global Read, or Normal user), I am redirected to the Observium User Management screen with no visible changes to any user account. There's no notification to tell me what went wrong or that editing LDAP user permissions is not possible. After switching to LDAP, Observium no longer provides authentication errors, and I'm getting something to the same effect when trying to edit users. Clicking on a user in my level 10 shows me that this user is an administrator, but users in my level 1 are showing disabled. The drop down list shows the same level 10 users as disabled as well. /debug doesn't help since it reloads the page. profile_sql doesn't seem to show me every SQL query being made.

Then I see the side effect of the of the duplicate entries with the fdb table because the poller processes are running so slowly they are stacking on top of each other. So I have some kind of performance issue. One strange thing, I only have 45 devices I?m polling, yet the port count under the Port menu says I have 44859 ports. That must be a miscalculation of some type or my database is messed up somewhere. Not sure if related or not. Going to continue to try the poller manually and see if I can figure out where the slowdown is. From: observium [mailto:observium-bounces@observium.org] On Behalf Of Adam Armstrong Sent: Wednesday, August 12, 2015 1:33 AM To: observium(a)observium.org Subject: Re: [Observium] 'Duplicate entry' issues on vlans_fdb Man, why didn't I think of this? This sounds like the problem. I guess something caused your poller processes to get confused, and they ended up running in parallel, not unthinkable when the same part of the poller process runs for so long, 74 seconds for the fdb-table module. If you don't /really/ need this data, I'd recommend disabling it. It's one of the trade offs we have to make between performance and data. If you still want the fdb data, you can force that module to be run using a less-often scheduled process in cron like ./poller.php -h all -m fdb-table Note that this will break whatever graphs (fdb count?) that fdb-table produces, but you'll still have the data in the database. adam.

What boolean operators are available when creating groups ?
by Jesper Frank Nemholt 11 Nov '15

11 Nov '15

Hi! I've been using equals and match and wildcard (*) when aggregating together data in the group feature, however I now have to create a group where I need to exclude certain things and select others with wildcard. I am not sure this works, and I can't find anything in the documentation about it. basically I need to include all hosts with a certain hostname pattern, except a few ones with a slightly different pattern. If I wrote it in two lines, it would be like this : hostname match foo-is*.bar.com hostname != foo-is4*.bar.com Anyway way to do this ? /Jesper

Updating SNMP from v1 to v3
by Timothy Kaufman 11 Nov '15

11 Nov '15

Hello, We have about 80 devices that we are updating from SNMP v1 to v3. I can¹t seem to find a way to do this in bulk either from CLI or from web UI. I can update the devices one by one in the web ui, if I try from the CLI with the add_user.php script it complains about the device being known. Can someone offer some insight on how I might accomplish this without changing each device individually in the UI? Thanks Tim
