Autodiscovery Question
by Lyndon Labuschagne 18 Nov '15

18 Nov '15

Hi All I have added the below to the config file, but nothing seems to be getting discovered, is there a $config[Œautodiscover¹] = TRUE or something I am missing? $config['autodiscovery']['ip_nets'] = array("10.200.4.0/24", "10.200.1.0/24"); $config['autodiscovery']['xdp'] = TRUE; // Autodiscover hosts via discovery protocols $config['autodiscovery']['snmpscan'] = TRUE; // autodiscover hosts via SNMP scanning $config['discover_services'] = false; ## Autodiscover services via SNMP on devices of type "server"

Front page custom graphs not displaying as expected
by Josh Bierman 17 Nov '15

17 Nov '15

Hello all, here is the snippet from my config.php ----------------------------------------------------- // Device status settings // Show the status messages you want $config['frontpage']['device_status']['max']['interval'] = 24; // Maximal interval for which to display devices status (in hours) $config['frontpage']['device_status']['max']['count'] = 200; $config['frontpage']['device_status']['uptime'] = true; $config['frontpage']['device_status']['devices'] = true; // Show the down devices $config['frontpage']['device_status']['ports'] = true; // Show the down ports $config['frontpage']['device_status']['links'] = true; // Show the down inter-device links (with CDP/LLDP linked devices) $config['frontpage']['device_status']['errors'] = true; // Show the ports with interface errors/ $config['frontpage']['device_status']['services'] = true; // Custom traffic graphs $config['frontpage']['custom_traffic']['ids'] = "3697"; // COMMA SEPARATED PORT ID FOR EXAMPLE: "1,2,3,4,5" $config['frontpage']['custom_traffic']['title'] = "Traffic"; // Your own title for the custom traffic graphs // Custom mini graphs $config['frontpage']['minigraphs']['ids'] = "51,device_processor,CPU"; // Comma and semicolon separated array list, first the device id or graph id followed by the image type and the text header you want (example: "2,$ $config['frontpage']['minigraphs']['legend'] = false; // Enable/Disable the legend on custom mini graph view $config['frontpage']['minigraphs']['title'] = "Mini Graphs Overview"; -------------------------------------------------- Based on that config I would expect graphs for 4 ports, showing 24 hour time periods on each, and a mini graph underneath showing CPU usage on that device (its a fortinet firewall) Instead I see this: [image: Inline image 1] Traffic graphs for one port, three timescales and no CPU.

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

ports graphs errors
by Jeffrey d'Ambly 10 Nov '15

10 Nov '15

Hello! on the directory alerts exists the slack.inc.php. directory in the alerts there is slack.inc.php. researched on the Internet (http://www.rickheil.com/?p=35#comment-39) and also in the full dump of the observium config file and saw that there are integration options with the slack. I tried to apply them but without success. someone already managed to do this integration? Below are the configs: $config['alerts']['slack']['username'] = "Observium"; $config['alerts']['slack']['channel'] = "#cgr"; $config['alerts']['slack']['url'] = " https://hooks.slack.com/services/T0BMNB4UC/B0BMU32QY/xeUSiseEo2qGlXKOACLR5Z… "; $config['alerts']['slack']['webhook_url'] = " https://hooks.slack.com/services/T0BMNB4UC/B0BMU32QY/xeUSiseEo2qGlXKOACLR5Z… "; $config['alerts']['slack']['default']['contact'] = "channel::#cgr||username::Observium||url:: https://hooks.slack.com/services/T0BMNB4UC/B0BMU32QY/xeUSiseEo2qGlXKOACLR5Z… "; Best Regards!

Hi everyone, I know this subject is touched on in the past but any help from anyone who has this working would be appreciated. I've been following the FAQ for LDAP login via Active Directory but I always come across the same error. Fatal error: LDAP TLS required but not successfully negotiated [Connect error] In /debug, I see that it connects but then inserts a line saying that Auth failed. https://doc.rotten.soy/buqar.vhdl In my Windows Server 2012 R2 box, I see this line come up in the Event Viewer: "A fatal alert was generated and sent to the remote endpoint. This may result in termination of the connection. The TLS protocol defined fatal error code is 10. The Windows SChannel error state is 10." This is one of the more recent configs I've tried. https://doc.rotten.soy/wosej.php My filtered dsquery information is... https://doc.rotten.soy/inure.tex Things I've tried modifying: auth_ldap_binddn, I've tried changing this but this doesn't seem to be my problem since it appears to connect. (Should I have some kind of special rights for this user)? auth_ldap_suffix, This one I'm not sure exactly what the string is looking for. The actual CN of a user won't include the CN=Builtin. I've tried without. auth_ldap_group, tried with and without Domain Users CN. auth_ldap_groups, tried the full LDAP path and also just the "Domain Admins"/"Domain Users" What am I missing? :( Any help is greatly appreciated in what I am doing wrong. Is it a problem with my Server 2012 install and something I need to change? Is it a problem in one of the packages installed for Observium? Cody

Setting up email alert notifications
by Alex Winder ＠ M5i 07 Nov '15

Hi, I'm looking to set up alert notifications to help with the monitoring of the devices which we already have loaded into Observium, but having some trouble. See below attached image. This is how I currently have alert checkers set. As you can see there are 0 entities being loaded into all alert checks, despite using all devices, and I can't find anything about how to get entities to load. Could someone assist me in how to successfully set up the notifications? We have over 200 devices being monitored in Observium, adding email notifications would improve the system dramatically for us. Regards, Alex.

This should work for all VFIs and others with the same god dam ObjectID of .1.3.6.1.4.1.935.10.1 (which should be all EPPC manufactured units). Im not an expert in Observium or all things SNMP, but this was my work. If others find it useful, then great. PS: Dont read this Yes its yet another UPS MIB which EPPC could have done with RFC1628. The unit supports RFC1628 but not enough to be ideal ;( I didnt want to make some bastard mix of both MIBS as that's just twice the mess. Best regards /Glyn

Re: [Observium] CASA CMTS - 32bit counters used instead of 64bit.

Graphs not drawing after update to rev 7172
by Tim Vaughan 06 Nov '15

06 Nov '15

This afternoon I updated my installation to 7172 via svn. Since then, my graphs are being drawn blank (e.g. this one of the poller duration: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3183918/pollergraph.png. Ignore the earlier gap, it's the one from about 1630 onwards I'm talking about). I've done *./discovery.php -u* as normal and have manually run *./poller.php -h all*. I have checked /pollerlog and it doesn't appear to be running automatically by cron as usual. Any ideas? Tim

Alternatively is there any log files that can offer some explanation as to why it's not working? I've had a look but can't find any. Thanks, Quentin

CASA CMTS - 32bit counters used instead of 64bit.
by T-MONT Administrator 05 Nov '15

05 Nov '15

Hi, I'm trying to monitor CASA c2200 CMTS device with Observium; it gets recognized as "casa-dcts". The problem is that Observium doesn't use 64bit interface counters but 32bit for downstream and upstream interfaces. This results in gaps in the traffic graphs when traffic counter overflows. How can I force Observium to switch to use 64bit counters instead of 32bit? Thanks! Pawel

Issue with traffic volume graph for asymmetric interfaces.
by T-MONT Administrator 05 Nov '15

05 Nov '15

Hi guys, I have problem with graphing traffic graphs for one of my Observium monitored device; problem occurs when it comes to graph traffic for asymmetric interfaces - ones that only send or receive traffic. The problem is that when such interface is queried on the device for actual traffic values the response is: for only-sending interface: Rx OID -> noSuchInstance, TxOID -> actual bits for only-receiving interface: Rx OID -> actual bits, TxOID -> noSuchInstance Those values as used then to populate corresponding RRD file which results in series of "NaN"s for INOCTETS or OUTOCTETS data stores. The result is that traffic graph plotted from this RRD is corrupted - like this example: http://i66.tinypic.com/7281fo.png Currently my Observium instance is at revision 7167. Could you share with me any ideas how to resole this issue? Thank you & Regards! Pawel

I'm monitoring a little over 600 devices with my installation. Likewise in a VM, 8x vCPU @3.0GHz, 32GB DRAM, and 32GB of swap. While CPU goes up to 85+% during polls, I don't have any drops whatsoever. Given what you describe, you probably want to add more memory to your VM. Also, what is your average and overall polling time? You may need to add additional polling instances so that everything completes within the 5min window before the next round of polling starts, which again means more memory will be very helpful.

This is a biggie, because we have about 40 circuits. 3. We use WUG, which I hate… how is this better? 4. We use Solarwinds, which is expensive, why is this better? 5. (I know this is bad form, but) why these bars in the graph: Thanks for your awesome answers, and please, give me some reasons that I can use to get team to put money into this. Ryan Milton

Graph errors on OS upgrade
by Roland Hill 02 Nov '15

02 Nov '15

Hi list, I'm running CE version 0.15.6.6430, on my non-critical home network. I recently upgraded my server OS from Ubuntu 15.04 to 15.10. This appears to have resulted in some of the graphs in Observium now not drawing. The OS upgraded took rrdtools from version 1.4.8 to 1.5.4, and I suspect this is the root of the issue as I seem to remember this being raised on the list before. I note there was a bugfix committed in August for "Fixed some issues with rrdtool command parsing on newer rrdtool versions". Can you confirm that the draw error's I'm seeing are most likely related to the rrdtool version, and that the next release of CE will probably fix it? An example of the rrdtool error is: RRDTool Output: ERROR: Unused Arguments "" in command : AREA:inbits0#B6D14B:p3p1 Rx: Sorry if this is not enough information. I can provide screenshots if required. -- Regards, Roland PGP Key 0xDA39319B = BCF0 1214 BAE9 5A3D 46FC 21A6 360D 9398 DA39 319B

LLDP issues
by Mark Martinec 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

Spent some time trying to get Observium to deal with MIBs as produced by LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) on a couple of diverse network equipment types. Running the latest CE edition 0.15.6.6430. After initial meager success (only two boxes recognized and several L2 neighbours reported with wrong interfaces), a couple of changes in includes/discovery/discovery-protocols/lldp-mib.inc.php brought some sense into results. There are essentially two problems there: - some lldpRemoteSystemsData OIDs could not be correlated with an interface on the other side (for various reasons, see below); - a fallback mechanism which tries to find a match on an interface's MAC address produces a wrong match, because typically all ports on larger switches have the same MAC address and the heuristics just picks the first match, which is almost always wrong. In case of multiple matches the matching on MAC should just fail, which at least would not produce a senseless match causing operators to scratch their heads and wonder who crossed the cables. The comment in lldp-mib.inc.php : // Find the device by MAC address, still matches multiple ports sometimes, we use the first one and hope we're lucky if very much misguided, as all port MAC addresses on a switch are typically the same, at least on all device types that I checked. The first issue above needs more explanation. I found a couple of different reasons for a failed match, as follows. Case 1: $ snmpbulkwalk -v2c -c ... -M mibs -m LLDP-MIB ... lldpRemoteSystemsData LLDP-MIB::lldpRemChassisIdSubtype.5360466.52.2 = INTEGER: macAddress(4) LLDP-MIB::lldpRemChassisId.5360466.52.2 = Hex-STRING: C4 54 44 1E 71 4E LLDP-MIB::lldpRemPortIdSubtype.5360466.52.2 = INTEGER: local(7) LLDP-MIB::lldpRemPortId.5360466.52.2 = Hex-STRING: 30 2F 34 37 00 LLDP-MIB::lldpRemPortDesc.5360466.52.2 = STRING: "Slot: 0 Port: 47 10G -

So my solution was to add "case 'interfaceAlias':" and "case 'local':" there; switch ($lldp['lldpRemPortIdSubtype']) { case 'interfaceName': + case 'interfaceAlias': + case 'local': A Case 3 is a bit nastier and is specific to our Summit Extreme X450a switches. The problem there is that the interface name (i.e. a port number) as reported in the LLDP MIB does not use the same naming/numbering convention as the IF-MIB and SQL: the LLDP MIB just uses a port number (1 .. 26), while the SQL field ports.ifName prefixes a port number with a chassis number, which is always a 1 in a non-stackable switch. Moreover the ifIndex uses a formula 1000*chassis + port number. On top of it the PortDesc in LLDP MIB is an empty string, so cannot be used to correlate with IF-MIB::ifDescr. To illustrate: IF-MIB::ifIndex.1001 = INTEGER: 1001 IF-MIB::ifIndex.1002 = INTEGER: 1002 IF-MIB::ifIndex.1003 = INTEGER: 1003 [...] IF-MIB::ifIndex.1026 = INTEGER: 1026 IF-MIB::ifDescr.1001 = STRING: X450a-24t Port 1 IF-MIB::ifDescr.1002 = STRING: X450a-24t Port 2 IF-MIB::ifDescr.1003 = STRING: X450a-24t Port 3 [...] IF-MIB::ifDescr.1026 = STRING: X450a-24t Port 26 LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortIdSubtype.1 = INTEGER: interfaceName(5) LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortIdSubtype.2 = INTEGER: interfaceName(5) LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortIdSubtype.3 = INTEGER: interfaceName(5) [...] LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortId.1 = STRING: "1" LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortId.2 = STRING: "2" LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortId.3 = STRING: "3" [...] LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortId.26 = STRING: "26" LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortDesc.1 = STRING: LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortDesc.2 = STRING: LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortDesc.3 = STRING: [...] LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortDesc.26 = STRING: The corresponding SQL field ports.ifName looks like "1:26", i.e. the port number is prefixed by a chassis number and a colon. So neither the SQL query on ifDescr ("") OR ifName ("26") can succeed, nor the query on ifIndex ("1026"). I ended up with a hackish workaround kludge in lldp-mib.inc.php : case 'interfaceName': $remote_port_id = dbFetchCell("SELECT `port_id` FROM `ports` WHERE (`ifDescr`= ? OR `ifName`= ?) AND `device_id` = ?",array($if, $id, $remote_device_id)); + if (!$remote_port_id && is_numeric($id) && $id < 1000) { + $remote_port_id = dbFetchCell("SELECT `port_id` FROM `ports` WHERE (`ifIndex`= ? OR `ifName`= ?) AND `device_id` = ?", array(1000+$id, "1:$id", $remote_device_id)); + } Actually there is also a Case 4, where lldpRemSysName shows a string "(none).(none)" instead of an empty string, when the (optional) system name is not configured. To fix: - if (empty($lldp['lldpRemSysName']) && $lldp['lldpRemChassisIdSubtype'] == 'macAddress') + if ((empty($lldp['lldpRemSysName']) || $lldp['lldpRemSysName'] == '(none).(none)') && $lldp['lldpRemChassisIdSubtype'] == 'macAddress') The affected devices were: Summit Extreme X450 switches (Case #3), a Quanta LY2R switch (the 'interfaceAlias' Case #2), and a Networking Operating System RackSwitch G7052 (the 'local', Case #1). Not sure what switch was connected there in Case 4, possibly a smaller Quanta, identifies as "armv5tejl/Linux 2.6.17.WB_WPCM450.1.3". The full patch is attached (I hope it survives the mailing list). If more information is needed I'd be gladly providing. Regards Mark

Flush process causing slow performace
by Johnson, Edward A. 27 Oct '15

27 Oct '15

Since upgrading PHP to 5.4, Observium has loaded very slowly at times. Most of the time just a refresh of the homepage will take .150 seconds but occasionally it can take up to a minute to load. Running iotop shows the Flush process running taking up 99.99% IO which directly correlates to the slow page loads. Can anyone shed some light on a way to resolve this?

Log Names of non discoverable Host in autodiscover
by Serge Müller 26 Oct '15

26 Oct '15

Hi, is there any way to find out which host have been found through autodiscovery but could not be queried by snmp or aren't reachable via ICMP? Since we have lots of people working on our network, i do not always know if someone plugs in new switches or routers, especially not if they forget to configure the acls or snmp. The Observium log only shows "added x Hosts to ..." but no failures, running discovery.php -d -h all is a bit too loud and takes quite to long. Any suggestions? regards Serge

SNMP extensions : distro ... and others ?
by Massimo.Sala＠asl.bergamo.it 24 Oct '15

24 Oct '15

hi ! On the linux guests, you can tweak the snmpd.conf as extend .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.7890.1 distro "/bin/cat /etc/debian_version" so Observium detects the host OS. Is it possible to set other "devices" values, like purpose and serial, via SNMP extensions ? It seems these columns aren't used. best regards, Sala

BGP Alert Checks
by Aaron Hite 23 Oct '15

23 Oct '15

Team, I need some guidance. I have spent some time on the web trying to find examples of how to configure a alert checker to tell me when a BGP peer is Admin up but not working. We have quite a few peers in our environment that are Admin down and I just want to ignore those. I have tried many variations of the checker, but must be missing something. Here is a screenshot of the latest attempt. My device and entity match are set to “*”. If I change the condition or any instead of all, I seem to get alerts that are not correct as they are including peer states that are admin down. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks, Aaron

Junos Pseudowires

Hello, We (GRNET) have created a patch for observium in order to get the pseudowires to work in junos devices.

simple api to check for hostname / IP address
by Massimo.Sala＠asl.bergamo.it 22 Oct '15

Hi Is it possible with some URL-fu or simple REST API to check if a hostname and / or IP is in Observium ? The goal is to put this check inside some bash scripts. best regards, Sala

Hi Is it possible to view all devices, listed by their interfaces' IP addresses ? It will be very useful to look-up, at a glance, where a IP address is : just click on it to open its device parent. best regards, Massimo

Feature request + issues with NetApp cDot and EMC Isilon
by Jesper Frank Nemholt 22 Oct '15

22 Oct '15

Hi Not sure if there is a better place for feature requests, but here it goes : 1. In the group option it would be great to be able to create subgroups and assign/re-assign, so different measures related to the same infrastructure or area can be kept together. 2. Currently it is not possible to rename a group. Would be nice to have this option. 3. Would be great to have some simple functions / regex related to the group graphs to allow consolidating & filtering the data further. Right now it will either aggregate/stack data depending on what it is and it would be more flexible to have some control over this. Also being able to give the aggregated data some more meaningful data labels would be nice. Some time back I asked about NetApp cDOT support....got no answer but saw on the forum that someone was looking into this several months back. Right now the cDOT support is very limited as the MIB is different compared to standard OnTAP and it allow for multiple controller pairs in the same cluster. Any news on what the status is ? Same story for Isilon, here all the server data is gathered, but with complete unawareness of the nodes being in a cluster.... so the only way to get cluster data properly recorded & presented is to create a group for all nodes and create aggregated graphs. Anyone using Observium with IBM GPFS (ESS) ? /Jesper

FW: Correct metrics for storage_free checker
by Hilco de Lathouder 21 Oct '15

21 Oct '15

Hi, I'd like to use the storage_free (instead of storage_perc) to get an alert if disk space is below 500 MB. What kind of units are used (byts/mb/kb/gb) ? I was thinking the rule would be like 'storage_free lt 500' if it's in megabytes. Or should i use 'gb' or 'mb' in the equation? Regards, Hilco

Request: Add a device proactively
by Nate Mellendorf 20 Oct '15

20 Oct '15

Observium team, I just finished pre-deploying a few routers for a new client, and I'm adding each one to our monitoring platforms in advance. As they're offline, I'll be unable to add them to Observium until they respond to SNMP / ICMP. Is there a way I could add these proactively, and work around the error that Observium pushes our by default? Ideally, I'd like to add them all now, disable their alerts, and enable them when they're deployed and connectivity is in place. I see you have a Ignore RRD checkbox on the add device page. I wonder if we could have another that says, "Add even though device is offline"? As always, thank you for your feedback and time on this.

Re: [Observium] Request: Add a device proactively
by Nate Mellendorf 19 Oct '15

19 Oct '15

I was going to do something simular, but thought I'd request a feature add. When I deploy my devices, I deploy them with a script that's been standardized / approved. Setting up DHCP would be possible, but it adds additional steps (prone to user error) and may not be possible for all Observium users. I can see why you may not want to add it, but I feel it would be a really nice time saver for future deployments. You configured Observium to say no, I wont poll you if I can't find you. I think this is a little bit of a grey area, where we know it'll be there eventually. Just my two cents. Thanks again Adam for the consideration. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2015 08:27:26 -0700 From: Robbie Wright <robbie(a)siuslawbroadband.com> To: Observium Network Observation System <observium(a)observium.org> Subject: Re: [Observium] Request: Add a device proactively Message-ID: <CADTKZWZ8kbo7ZU8KAnbANzvh+udkEAaC9Bg05zm+V2AxqZZYmg(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" The way we currently handle this, since all of the devices require dns, is to pre-provision the device on a dhcp network and set dns to the temporary dhcp address. We can do the full config on the on the device, ship it, and when it is in its new location (or while it is being shipped) update dns to the new static IP you pre-provisioned and then when it is plugged in, all should be good with the world.

Juniper QFX 10G ports discovered as 4.29G
by Aaron Finney 18 Oct '15

18 Oct '15

Just FYI, the 10G ports on a QFX 5100 running latest JunOS are being reported with a speed of 4.29Gbps, which I assume is likely the actual returned value being constrained by a 32-bit container? Not a critical thing for us to fix - I was actually disabling polling for all of our Juniper vcp stacks in Observium (most of them take > 300s to complete a polling cycle) but noticed this as I was going through them and figured I'd pass it along. Cheers, Aaron

Observium seems to eat the first one properly but not the second. snmpwalk -Os -c public -v 2c router01 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.4 iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.4.0 = STRING: "\"hostmaster(a)arbor.net\"" However in the UI I see this: sysContact*=>*hostmaster(a)arbor.net\ Which causes email notifications to fail, because of the bad email address. Any hope? *Spencer Ryan* | Senior Systems Administrator | sryan(a)arbor.net *Arbor Networks* +1.734.794.5033 (d) | +1.734.846.2053 (m) www.arbornetworks.com

Ignore Statuses Possible?
by Tim Calvin 15 Oct '15

15 Oct '15

Hello We have a few AC powered Foundry FWS-24 switches. Observium is showing alerts for the secondary power supply and fans under statuses. Is there anyway to ignore these? I tried poking around and couldn’t find anything that would do the trick. I don’t even think they have secondary power supplies and fans. Maybe in another hardware configuration but certainly not ours. I have attached a screenshot. Running Observium Professional 0.15.10.7072

Obervium web page not coming up

Hi,I installed Observium on Centos and I added devices also successfully.Somehow, the webpage is not coming up and I followed the instruction mentioned in the webpage.My file /etc/http/conf/httpd.conf looks as follows: # <VirtualHost> definition. These values also provide defaults for # any <VirtualHost> containers you may define later in the file. # # All of these directives may appear inside <VirtualHost> containers, # in which case these default settings will be overridden for the # virtual host being defined. # # # ServerAdmin: Your address, where problems with the server should be # e-mailed.

Service monitoring feature

Hi Guys, I know service monitoring (nagios plug-in) is now deprecated and removed however just curious if there will be any chance of the feature being developed in future?

Problem adding user to view a port / vlan
by Stephen Bateman 11 Oct '15

11 Oct '15

Hi Everyone, Is there a procedure for adding a single user who I want to see vlan traffic statistics and the ports on a switch. I have tired creating a normal user which worked fine. However when I select the device and the port and click Add nothing happens. When I click refresh it still says "This user currently has no permitted ports" Any help would be appreciated, I am using the Professional version 0.15.10.7095 Thanks Stephen

Orphaned ports
by Aaron Mayfield 09 Oct '15

09 Oct '15

I've been digging around in my database, trying to figure out why I have a large number of ports listed in my observium interface, compared to the number of devices I have. I have discovered several devices that were removed (via delete_device.php) a while back, but it seems that the ports table wasn't completely cleaned up. These devices were removed from the devices table: mysql> select * from devices where device_id in(45,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73); Empty set (0.00 sec) mysql> But the ports for these devices weren't entirely removed: mysql> select device_id,count(*) as "number of ports" from ports where device_id IN(45,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73) group by device_id; +-----------+-----------------+ | device_id | number of ports | +-----------+-----------------+ | 45 | 4153 | | 66 | 4153 | | 67 | 4153 | | 68 | 4153 | | 69 | 4153 | | 70 | 1569 | | 71 | 4153 | | 72 | 4153 | | 73 | 4153 | +-----------+-----------------+ 9 rows in set (0.01 sec) mysql> These devices were probably F10/Dell M1000e cards, which I removed from observium because of the large number of l2vlan interfaces on each was causing a processor burden when polled. Rather than fight with them, I just removed them. My question is this, how can I clean up the remnants? Can I just delete these orphaned ports from the table? Or will I break anything if I do that?

Hi, Is anyone successfully using the agent to retrieve DRBD statistics? We may be suffering from http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBSERVIUM-574 - I'm not 100%, but I wondered if anyone had fixed it or found a workaround and simply hadn't shared their findings on Jira?
