Small Community Edition update
by Adam Armstrong 30 Jun '15

30 Jun '15

I just pushed out another CE tar. It fixes a tiny HTML issue with eventlog rendering on the device page. It's super annoying, so you should update! Remember, if your CE install doesn't say "0.15.6" at the bottom, you're running an old version! adam. Sent from Mailbird [http://www.getmailbird.com/?utm_source=Mailbird&utm_medium=email&ut…]

"Interface changed:" events
by Robert Williams 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

Hi, Since the scheduled SVN at 06:00 this morning we seem to be getting these for all of our (old, very) 3Com 2948 switches: They occur on every poll, for every port, and are currently spamming the event log. Anyone have any ideas? I've just done a forced SVN up to 6518 but it's still occurring. My guess is it happened around 6514 which was what it was running this morning when it appears to have started. Cheers! Robert Williams Custodian Data Centre Email: Robert(a)CustodianDC.com http://www.CustodianDC.com

Installing JpGraph blanks out bills page
by Rudolf Hoehler 27 Jun '15

27 Jun '15

Hello, I just installed jpgraph to get the bills page to stop prompting the "please install jpgraph" notice, and as soon as I removed the "includes/jpgraph/src/jpg-config.inc.php" file, as request, the bills page stopped loading. It's just blank. I've restarted apache and nothing in the error or access logs are pointing me in any direction. Any help to trouble shoot will be appreciated. All I did was download the jpgraph-3.5.0b1.tar.gz<http://jpgraph.net/download/download.php?p=5> file, unzip it and move it into the specified folder, and remove the config file as requested. Regards, Rudolf

PoE support?
by Mark D. Nagel 26 Jun '15

26 Jun '15

I was asked if we could display PoE details on switches and said "I'm sure we can!" and proceeded to find out, no, not quite yet. From what I can tell, support is only partially in place -- is that accurate? I found the global config param needed and set it, and it looks like data is collecting in RRD files, but they are not included in the device display. Is this just an in-progress thing? Thanks, Mark ./config.php:$config['enable_ports_poe'] = 1; ./includes/functions.inc.php: $rrd_types = array('adsl', 'dot3', 'fdbcount', 'poe', NULL); ./includes/defaults.inc.php:$config['enable_ports_poe'] = 0; // Enable PoE stats collection ./includes/polling/ports.inc.php: // Fetch POWER-ETHERNET-MIB and CISCO-POWER-ETHERNET-EXT-MIB if enable_ports_poe is enabled. ./includes/polling/ports.inc.php: // This data is used in the per-port poe include. ./includes/polling/ports.inc.php: $ports_module = 'enable_ports_poe'; ./includes/polling/ports.inc.php: $ports_module = 'enable_ports_poe'; ./includes/polling/ports.inc.php: if ($attribs[$ports_module] || ($config[$ports_module] && !isset($attribs[$ports_module]))) { include("port-poe.inc.php"); } ./includes/polling/port-poe.inc.php: $rrdfile = get_port_rrdfilename($port, "poe"); 266940 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:11 ./rrd/banon/port-6-poe.rrd 274245 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:12 ./rrd/danbo/port-8-poe.rrd 274249 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:12 ./rrd/unifi/port-2-poe.rrd 274251 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:16 ./rrd/colby/port-2-poe.rrd 274246 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:12 ./rrd/hq-fw01/port-1-poe.rrd 141443 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:15 ./rrd/hq-sw02.willingminds.com/port-10101-poe.rrd 139185 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:11 ./rrd/hq-outsw01/port-10001-poe.rrd 266978 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:11 ./rrd/chevre/port-7-poe.rrd 143984 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:16 ./rrd/hq-voipsw01.willingminds.com/port-10001-poe.rrd 394012 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:16 ./rrd/vacherin/port-1-poe.rrd 394011 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:12 ./rrd/vignotte-drac/port-8-poe.rrd 139651 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:12 ./rrd/valencay/port-2-poe.rrd 139671 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:12 ./rrd/dns01/port-2-poe.rrd 274244 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:11 ./rrd/derby/port-8-poe.rrd 394817 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:16 ./rrd/vignotte/port-1-poe.rrd 394008 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:11 ./rrd/hq-vpn01/port-3-poe.rrd 143874 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:16 ./rrd/hq-ipv6.willingminds.com/port-1-poe.rrd 394829 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:16 ./rrd/hq-ap01/port-2-poe.rrd 394010 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:12 ./rrd/vacherin-drac/port-8-poe.rrd 143870 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:16 ./rrd/hq-sw01.willingminds.com/port-10101-poe.rrd 394009 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:11 ./rrd/vendomois/port-1-poe.rrd 394828 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:16 ./rrd/hq-ap02/port-2-poe.rrd 139713 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:15 ./rrd/hq-labsw01.willingminds.com/port-1-poe.rrd 143873 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:16 ./rrd/hq-coresw01/port-10101-poe.rrd 139609 456 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 464632 Jun 25 08:11 ./rrd/hq-cr-epson7520/port-1-poe.rrd -- Mark D.

CISCO-IP-LOCAL-POOL-MIB
by Matthias Cramer 25 Jun '15

25 Jun '15

Hi All I had a look into the Cisco IP local pool MIB, as we have IP Pools on our LNS for the DSL Customers. It would be nice if we could monitor the usage of these pools in Observium. I looked around in the code, but found no similar discoverer/poller to start with. There seams no sensor type to fit such values. Can anyone give me a hint? Or is already someone working on that?

Juniper EX4550 - Snmp issue
by Raphael Maunier 24 Jun '15

24 Jun '15

Hello, Since 2 or 3 months I have some issue with some of our EX4550. For some reason,, some of the switches are just polling from time to time ( first 2 screencap ) and others are just not polling ( 3 - 4 -5 ) the funny thing is : I don’t have this issue on cacti ( the switches are also polled from Cacti ) I have 3 Junos version running on the backbone and only 3 out of 20 ex4450 have this issue ( and they don’t have the same junos version ). The filter on the loopback interfaces are exactly the same. I can have the arp table, the lldp and bgp/ospf neig but not the if graphing … I already restarted snmp and tried many other thing on the juniper itself. Thanks, Raphael

MySQL App Graphics of only one device don't work anymore
by Ximena Cardinali 24 Jun '15

24 Jun '15

Hi, Today I had to restart a VM and when I checked the Statistics I saw that the MySQL graphics of the VM don't work anymore since last week: [image: Inline images 1] The MySQL Graphics of other devices are working properly but this one. Nothing was changed on that VM ever since. I tried to run the discovery and poller script in Debug mode and I found no errors (maybe I'm blind). I renamed and deleted the rrd Files, deactivated and re-activated the Agent for this specific App, and nothing. When I telnet the VM from the Observium Host, I get some results: <<<mysql>>> a0:962085 a1:249635 a2:14093 a3:3755 a4:2617 a5:22885515 a6:1 a7:4 a8:-1 a9:-1 aa:8192 ab:4428 ac:3735 ad:0 ae:3605 af:130 ag:1486 ah:4630 ai:3744 aj:6044 ak:4472 al:0 am:0 an:0 ao:0 ap:0 aq:0 ... Does anyone have any idea of what can be the error? Thanks, Ximena.

Alert Checker Up/Down Dependency
by Thiedek, Vic 24 Jun '15

24 Jun '15

Hey, Is there a way to create an alert checker that will only report devices down if a device they are behind is up? We have remote offices with 100's of devices, and if there is a WAN issue, we receive 100's of alerts from Observium for that location. Is there a way to create a condition in an alert checker that a device (ex: router) has to be in an "up" status in order for devices behind it to alert as "down" That way if the Router/WAN is "down" we would only get that alert, not all the other devices. Example: This Alert Checker only alerts on devices in TN Entity Type: Device Check Conditions: device_status equals 0 Device Match: location match *TN* Entity Match: * Alert Delay 1 Example: This Alert Checker only alerts on devices in CA when the Router (specific device) is "up" Entity Type: Device Check Conditions: A Specific Device status equals 1 // check that office WAN router is "up" (I know this not a correct syntax, just example) device_status equals 0 //check that device is down AND Device Match: location match *CA* Entity Match: * Alert Delay 2 Cheers!

Device poll order
by Lambert, Benoit 23 Jun '15

23 Jun '15

Hey Observium team, Question: Does poller-wrapper/poller.php poll devices in the same order each time? Or is it randomized? e.g. If poller-wrapper starts one CRON session with device ID 500, will it always start with device id 500 in other CRON sessions to come? Thanks.

Correction of uptime-spikes?

SVN commit mail crashed our mail server
by Michael.Weinrich＠picturemaxx.com 22 Jun '15

22 Jun '15

Hello, the SVN commit mail from the observium-svn list yesterday (2015-06-04 16:46:51 +0200) crashed our mail server, most likely because the subject was way too long. I don't know, what script/hook you are using, but the standard in RFC 2822, section 2.1.1. states that "Each line of characters MUST be no more than 998 characters, and SHOULD be no more than 78 characters, excluding the CRLF" The subject of said mail was way over 2000 characters. For now I unsubscribed from that list because I don't want to kill e-mail for everybody in the office once in a while, but can you have a look into this issue and tell me when it is fixed, so I can resubscribe?

Alert to monitor cisco ARP table
by Lambert, Benoit 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

We want an alert when a new mac address is added to an access port. I did some more research and I got the switch to send a Mac-Notification-Change trap to the server. Is there an easy way to implement this? I am testing with snmptrapd daemon. I assume once the server receives the trap it can be re-routed to syslog-ng and brought into Observium. Switch --> Server (udp 162) -->Script/Program that re-routes -->Server (udp 514) --> syslog-ng -->Observium instance I was also struggling with the TRAP payload, the mac, port index and vlan weren't part of the message. Do I need the CISCO-MAC-NOTIFICATION-MIB? Thank you.

Re: [Observium] hdd temperature sensor keeps vanishing ?
by Adam Armstrong 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

If we don't see the sensor returned in the agent output, it'll be removed. If it reappears, it'll be readded. It's likely a timing thing with hddtemp causing that sensor to be occasionally not returned correctly. Adam.

Rsyslog after upgrade from 13.10.4585 to 14.4.XX
by Koen Claes 16 Jun '15

16 Jun '15

Hello, I am currently using an installation of Observium that works very well. I installed rsyslog according to this link : http://www.observium.org/wiki/Rsyslog_Syslog_Server I tried upgrading it for the first time to the most recent version, and everything seemed to work fine, but after a few hours syslogs stopped showing in the web interface. They do still arrive to the machine according to tcpdump. I rolled back the server and it worked again, even for a week now. After upgrading it again it does the same, works for a while and then stops. So I have 2 questions: 1: Where are syslogs saved? In the mysql database? 2: Did anything change regarding to syslog in the major version? I did notice a new logs folder. Thanks This message has been scanned for malware by Websense. www.websense.com

A same rsyslog config for observium + remote logging
by Jason Lixfeld 16 Jun '15

16 Jun '15

I was working on trying to get my rsyslog configuration working with observium as well as preserving my configuration for logging inbound logs to files based on the sender’s hostname so Splunk could eat them. It was a bit of a pain, so I thought I’d share incase anyone else found it useful: # /etc/rsyslog.d/30-remote.conf # # Based on a default rsyslog.conf file from Debian Jessie (8) # module(load="omprog") module(load="imtcp") module(load="imudp”) template(name="observium" type="string" string="%fromhost%||%syslogfacility%||%syslogpriority%||%syslogseverity%||%syslogtag%||%$year%-%$month%-%$day% %timereported:8:25%||%msg%||%programname%\n") template(name="hostname" type="string" string="/var/log/remote/%HOSTNAME%.log”) ruleset(name="remote"){ action(type="omprog" binary="/opt/observium/syslog.php" template="observium") action(type="omfile" dynafile="hostname") } input(type="imtcp" port="601" ruleset="remote") input(type="imudp" port="514" ruleset="remote”) #<EOF>

MySQLi extension at r6455 (professional edition).
by Mike Stupalov 16 Jun '15

16 Jun '15

Hi, today added a new feature with ability to use modern php mysqli extension for db connections. It will not add new ponies in your piggy bank, but will give us opportunity to refuse in the future from obsolete php mysql extension. Currently new code will work ONLY if you manually add in config.php option: $config['db_extension'] = 'mysqli'; Also now added some new configurable options for db connections: $config['db_extension'] = 'mysqli'; // The PHP MySQL extension to use ('mysql' or 'mysqli') #$config['db_port'] = ''; // MySQL port (leave blank for default port: 3306) #$config['db_socket'] = ''; // Path to the socket (leave blank for default socket) #$config['db_persistent'] = FALSE; // Whether persistent connections should be used or not. WARNING use at own risk! #$config['db_compress'] = FALSE; // Use compressed protocol for the MySQL connection Please test new options and especially mysqli extension and report here (or in jira) about your success story ;) -- Mike Stupalov http://observium.org/

Missing graph data
by Jason Vanlandingham 15 Jun '15

15 Jun '15

I had a problem with the machine Observium is running on. The CPU fan/heatsink fell off. After I got the machine up again on the evening of 11 June, the CPU Temp graph showed normal temps in the 30-45 range for months, then a big spike up to 115. (eek!) But at least the server came back to life, and I still had all my data. Everything still seems to be running OK, but all of a sudden there is now no data at all in the CPU temp graph before ~1:00AM 12 June. From this machine I get temp readings for CPU temp, Motherboard temp, and 4 other "temp#" listings. "Temp1" and "Temp3" still seem to have the data they should, but the others are missing. One thing I did change after the recovery: I noticed the time zone on the server was set to US Eastern, and I changed it to US Central. I would think if that was the cause of my problem it would hit a lot more of the data.

Adding Custom Information
by Daniel Kasen 11 Jun '15

11 Jun '15

Is there a way to add custom strings to a device? Ie. I want to add the current version of some linux software that wasn't an RPM install to an object. I have created extended snmp info, but can't find any way to attach that to the polling agent. Ideally this would be a table layout and not a graph as it's simply a key:pair like apache: "2.4.10" *~ Daniel *

Alerts Triggering even when disabled

Deleting sensors and graphs from a device
by Jason Lixfeld 09 Jun '15

09 Jun '15

Hi all, I have added an extremely pared down copy of a device to Observium and am using it strictly to be able to monitor BGP sessions inside a VRF context. I have disabled all sensors, modules, graphs, etc from the device configuration, but it seems that any sensors and graphs that were created before these settings were disabled are still present on the device’s page. How can I turf all the graphs and sensors and all that stuff from these devices? Thanks!

IOS XR snmp-server context for monitoring BGP sessions inside a VRF
by Jason Lixfeld 09 Jun '15

09 Jun '15

Hi, I understand that the current BGP MIB doesn’t support VRF contexts for pulling BGP session info for sessions that exist inside a VRF. I have IOS XR boxes that house my vrf BGP sessions, and apparently there is an snmp-context command that has proven to be able to work around the MIB limitations. My question is whether or not anyone within the Observium community has tried to do this. From what I gather, it requires a separate SNMP community on the IOS XR box to perform the context mapping, but that would seem to imply that one needs to duplicates the node in question in Observium with the new community. I haven’t actually tried any of this yet...

Speaking from my perspective, the discovery script found the multiple temperature sensors and properly added them into the display. I would expect that the developers are going to want to see the debug results of the discovery script run against your UPS, so that would be a good next step. Use discover.php with the -d flag running against the device, capture and sanitize appropriately, and post or put on pastebin or something like that. ...Ron Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE DROID Vincent Aniello <VAniello(a)portware.com> wrote: -- This message has been scanned by E.F.A.

For example I have an interface which is showing Packets/sec Now Avg Min Max Errors Rx 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 Tx 3.22m 898.64u 0.00 3.23m Discards Rx 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 Tx 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 Am I right in saying this interface is not discarding any packets, but is encountering errors when transmitting? As for the values of 3.22m and 898.64u are these absolute values, e.g. 3.22 errors a second? Or because of the m is it 0.00322 errors a second? Being a 10−3 many thanks, Robin --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE READ: The information contained in this e-mail is confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.

Problems after SVN upgrade

We are currently running: Observium 0.14.11.6003 Apache 2.2.22 (Ubuntu) PHP 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.15 MySQL 5.5.40-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 SNMP NET-SNMP 5.4.3 RRDtool 1.4.7 I navigated to the /opt/observium directory and ran: svn update This succeed then I proceeded to run: root@observium:/opt/observium# ./discovery.php -u Observium 0.14.11.6003 Discovery PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function print_obsolete_config() in /opt/observium/discovery.php on line 48 At this point everything seemed fine so far as logging in, the graphing etc. I then rebooted the server for good measure. When it came back up, I could hit the login screen and authenticate, but beyond that, a blank screen. Any ideas?

Draw Error - php/rrd?

Hi, I am experiencing the "red" draw errors for all of my devices/nodes/entries. It would seem that apache/php is not parsing the rrd command correctly?

As well as make the WMI user account (same one as specified in config.php) available on the Exchange server.

IP SLA
by Jeffrey d'Ambly 31 May '15

31 May '15

Hello, I am using the observium professional edition and I’ve been looking into configuring IP SLA on all my cisco devices to monitor our WAN. I have the following config on two devices to just test the waters Destination device config ip sla responder source device config ip sla 1 udp-jitter 10.34.36.2 16384 source-ip 10.34.36.1 frequency 300 ip sla schedule 1 start-time now My question is what does the community do as a best practice for IP SAL configurations. As I have it configure now it’s send 10 packets every 5 minutes. This seems like a bad idea because what if there was a network blip between the 5 minute run time? If there was packet loss I would like observium to detect it, and send out an alert. Do I need to configure the ip sla service to constantly run? And if so how do I make sure all that data is there when observium polls it next. —Jeff

CareFlight QLD
by Stephen Penfold 28 May '15

28 May '15

Good Morning/Afternoon, We are currently trialling Observium on several of network components and so far are impressed with the community version however threshold and state alerting is an important feature that would complete the package for us and enable us to deploy it network wide. With Careflight being a non-for-profit organisation and the IT department being a ‘cost’ department our budget is heavily scrutinised and any cost has to be suitably justified. Although we are impressed with Observium and believe it would be a great solution for monitoring our remote sites throughout Queensland, unfortunately we doubt that the cost would be approved by the higher powers as this is something that is currently ‘out of budget’. So this leads us to ask, would it be possible to get a discount/donation on the subscription charge for the professional version of Observium for CareFlight? Any help would be greatly appreciated and please feel free to contact us if you need to. Looking forward to your reply and thanks for your time.

poller-wrapper and python3
by Mike Stupalov 18 May '15

18 May '15

Hi, some modern system (like ubuntu 15.04) used python3 by default. Since old poller-wrapper not compatible with python3, today I added experimental *poller-wrapper3.py* which should work with both (2.x, 3.x) python versions. Check wich default python version used in your system: /usr/bin/env python -V Python 3.2.3 If default is 3.x, than use new wrapper in your crontab. Note, in python3 required additional PyMySQL module (since MySQLdb unavialable for python3). In ubuntu/debian install by this cmds: sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools sudo easy_install3 pip sudo pip3 install PyMySQL How to install on other systems I do not know, welcome your tips. -- Mike Stupalov http://observium.org

Fortigate Sessions Graph Patch

Hi Basile, Thanks for that patch; that fixed it up for us. Would be great to see that included in Observium soon. Cheers, Nathan From: observium [mailto:observium-bounces@observium.org] On Behalf Of Basile Bluntschli Sent: Saturday, 9 May 2015 5:26 AM To: Observium Network Observation System Subject: Re: [Observium] Fortigate Ports Disappeared Hi Serghei I have no idea how to apply a svn diff file to an existing file. I just followed the instructions on the Observium website on how to submit a patch :) I would need to use google as well... Else you could manually edit the fortigate.inc.pcp file, the patch provides something like three or four lines of code change... That should be doable as well.

P.S if only there was a fix to sessions being graphed ☹ Cheers From: observium [mailto:observium-bounces@observium.org<mailto:observium-bounces@observium.org>] On Behalf Of Nathan Phelan Sent: 08 May 2015 05:58 To: Observium Network Observation System Subject: Re: [Observium] Fortigate Ports Disappeared Hi Serghei, This is an issue we have run into several times. Every time it has been due to a SNMPD bug on the fortigates. There is an issue with several firmware versions that returns invalid values for interfaces that have been recently deleted (usually vlan subinterfaces or ipsec interfaces). When this has happened snmp on the fortigates will still return values for everything apart from anything referencing the deleted interface (which is still in snmp somewhere). I have logged a ticket with Fortinet about this (in Feb 2014) and it is supposed to be fixed in newer firmware versions (although I have seen it crop up again on ‘fixed’ versions). When it is in this state snmpwalk actually fails the following query snmpwalk -v2c -c public fortigateIPAddress ifType Error in packet. Reason: (genError) A general failure occured Failed object: IF-MIB::ifType.45 (in this example 45 was snmp index of the deleted interface). The fix for us has always been to kill and restart snmpd on the Fortigate (on all cluster members if it is a cluster). You’ll need to find the process ID of the snmpd process and then kill it; watchdog will automatically restart it and then it’ll be fine. show running processes diag sys top 30 99 kill snmpd process by process id diag sys kill 11 <process ID> I don’t remember if you have to do a discovery after this or if it will return to normal on the next polling cycle. Interested to hear if this solves it for you – also interested to hear what firmware version you are seeing this on.

I can see ifNames correctly displayed during debug however those don’t make it into portal. Also in event log I get below for all discovered ports: Interface changed: [ifDescr] TEST_PORT -> NULL; [ifType] other -> NULL; [ifDuplex] -> 0 One of the things I’ve picked up from poller debug: ignored (by empty ifDescr and ifName).
