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/

SNMPv3 with AES256

Greetings! Does Observium support AES256 for SNMPv3 for Cisco Devices? Testing with SHA / AES128 SNMPv3 Authentication Successful Testing with SHA / AES256 SNMPv3 Authentication Fails I would use AES128, but the environment (750+ devices) was already setup for AES256. Thanks in advance! Vic

Location to request to add a MIB?

15 Jun '15

I understand fully that MIB addition are on a best effort basis, especially for the obscure ones that might only matter to one person out of Observium’s entire install base :) So, where would I submit such a request for a MIB to be added? Here or JIRA? Elsewhere? Thanks!

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.

Roadmap for further alerting features?

Hi, Curious whether or not there is a roadmap to support alerting on syslog messages or SNMP traps? I have these really ugly syslog power supply alerts from Splunk that I’d love to get rid of :) Thanks!

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
by Johnston, Tom 10 Jun '15

10 Jun '15

* Cisco 2960-X (24 Ports PoE) running c2960x-universalk9-mz.150-2a.EX5.bin * Observium 0.15.6.6446 * Alert Check * Check Conditions * ifAdminStatus eq up * ifOperStatus ne up * Associations * Device Match * os eq ios * Entity Match * ifType equals ethernetCsmacd I have Both Polling and Alerting Disabled on the interfaces which are not up on this switch, (they are not admin down just no link). So the issue is even though I have them set not to poll nor to alert, they still are doing so. What can I look at to see why that would be? I’ve tried deleting and re-adding the device but the same behavior applies. Thanks in advance for any advice. [cid:2E4D1B6E-4174-4130-BED4-825EC44D8342] [cid:3DFA6513-B87A-4CD8-8EAD-CD62E44447CB]

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!

Port alerts that dont exist

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...

I have an APC Smart-UPS 1500 with a network management card that includes environmental monitoring.

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.

Graph errors and units
by Robin Cook 04 Jun '15

Hello, I am hoping someone can help me understand/confirm my thoughts on what some of the numbers actually mean in the errors graph. 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?

The RRDs are being populated with the polling scripts: - No errors when poller.php is run (poller.php -h 5 -d | grep ERROR) - Real, recent data inside the rrd (rrdtool info <rrd file>) The RRDs are erroring on the php page, for example: - Performance and Output RRDTool Output: ERROR: Unused Arguments "" in command : AREA:usage_cdef0#FFC344:Intel Core i3-4010U @ 1.70GHz : Total time: 0.013 | RRDtool time: 0.012s - RRDTool Command rrdtool graph /tmp/rVDiXfJ3oeTNxmbX.png -g --lower-limit 0 --upper-limit 100 --start 1433201153 --end 1433287553 --width 1159 --height 300 -c BACK#EEEEEE00 -c SHADEA#EEEEEE00 -c SHADEB#EEEEEE00 -c FONT#000000 -c CANVAS#FFFFFF00 -c GRID#a5a5a5 -c MGRID#FF9999 -c FRAME#5e5e5e -c ARROW#5e5e5e -R normal --font LEGEND:8:'DejaVuSansMono' --font AXIS:7:'DejaVuSansMono' --font-render-mode normal -E COMMENT:'Load % Now Min Max Avg' COMMENT:'\l' DEF:usage0=/opt/observium/rrd/node.domain.com/processor-hr-196608.rrd:usage… DEF:usage0min=/opt/observium/rrd/node.domain.com/processor-hr-196608.rrd:us… DEF:usage0max=/opt/observium/rrd/node.domain.com/processor-hr-196608.rrd:us… CDEF:usage_cdef0=usage0,1,/ CDEF:usage_cdef0min=usage0min,1,/ CDEF:usage_cdef0max=usage0max,1,/ AREA:usage_cdef0#FFC344:'Intel Core i3-4010U @ 1.70GHz ': GPRINT:usage0:LAST:%5.1lf%s GPRINT:usage0min:MIN:%5.1lf%s GPRINT:usage0max:MAX:%5.1lf%s GPRINT:usage0:AVERAGE:%5.1lf%s'\n' COMMENT:'\n' HRULE:0#555555 RRD processes leftover in running memory: http 4205 0.0 0.0 0 0 ?

I can resell your trust a licence on purchase order basis I suppose, but there would be a small markup involved for the processing & 42-60 days credit your purchasing department will invariably want.

But you need to compile your own wmic on your Observium server and copy it to /usr/bin.

See: http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBSERVIUM-1259 Manually enable the wmi module under device settings under the tab modules in Observium, and under the wmi tab enable Exchange. 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

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.

Not showing ports on Juniper EX4200
by Stephen Bateman 10 May '15

10 May '15

Hi Everyone, I have just added a Juniper EX4200 to my kit then added it into Observium, however for some reason it does not list the ports. The JunOS is the same version as my other switches which are fine and if I discover the switch manually on CLI by device ID it appears to retrieve them fine. I have checked the SNMP config of the device against my other ones and they are the same so assume it is maybe something else. Any tips on how to resolve this would be appreciated.

I installed Observium on Ubuntu server. I followed all instructions available on the Observium web. However, the system doesn't show any kind of graphics. Also, I want to add a new Linux device with snmp v2 client installed, the system can't reached with the v2c features. Finally, I attached a screenshot of the linux server I could add it using CLI. Any ideas? TIA -- -- http://www.cobaej.edu.mx/cobaejweb/FLASH/bannerbvc.swf -- <http://www.cobaej.edu.mx/cobaejweb/FLASH/bannerbvc.swf>

Newbie - Mini-graphs (Mouseover & Device Title Bar)
by James Mooney 07 May '15

07 May '15

Dear All I've checked the FAQs and document, and apologise upfront if this is a stupid newbie question. I also apologise for using cheapo switches. I think I've followed the nstructions correctly, and my install looks to be okay and working. I've added two switches: Zyxel GS1920-48 and Netgear GS728TXS. Both are communicating and collecting data. In the Devices page, when I hover my mouse over the Zyxel I get graphs for Traffic, Uptime and Ping Response; however when I hover it over the Netgear I only get the Traffic graph (this also applies to the mini-graphs in the Device's title bar). If I use the graph filter I can see I'm collecting Uptime and Ping Response for both switches. Is there a way to configure this? Many thanks in advance, James

Fwd: Mitel alarm check
by Gerry Armstrong 07 May '15

07 May '15

Hi Guys, I am not sure if this is possible but I would like to be able to add a check in Observium that will monitor the state of a Mitel PBX Alarm state and then report what the state actually is. I know what the snmp variables are that I will have to use to achieve this and I can snmpwalk the PBX to get the correct results but I don't understand as yet how to apply this knowledge to Observium. I actually have a perl script that works with Nagios to do this but I prefer the Observium interface. The check the alarm state on the Mitel PBX we can use "snmpwalk -v 2c -c public HOST 1.3.6.1.4.1.1027.4.1.1.2.2.1.0". If the response in INTEGER: 1 then there is no alarm, 2 is MINOR, 3 is MAJOR and 4 is CRITICAL We can then use "snmpwalk -v 2c -c public HOST 1.3.6.1.4.1.1027.4.1.1.2.2.4.1.8" to retrieve the actual alarm details. Any advice welcomed! Thanks, Gerry

PIX ASA
by Jeffrey d'Ambly 07 May '15

07 May '15

I just aded a PIX asa and for some reason it looks like my aggregate graph on the overview tab is not working (see graph below) what’s really odd is that I can see the individual graphs for each of the interfaces. How can I trouble shoot this? [cid:174AA95D-29D7-48D9-A822-C64E08803E74]

Just a point of note, since I'm not near my laptop and can't collect the requested debug information right now... I've got two ASA55xx running 8.2(5) firmware and am not having the problem on those devices. I also am polling a PIX525 running 8.0(4) firmware, and that is the only device where this graph error is showing up.

Whew, thought I was the only one with this problem. Am seeing likewise. Aggregate graph has same error as Jeff, but digging down into the ports screen shows valid data graphs on the individual interfaces.

Ports view, extended Map of neighbours
by Svensson Fredrik A 05 May '15

05 May '15

Hi there! We are using Observium for monitoring and traffic analysis in a cisco environment. Is there any plans of expanding how the Port/map-tool works? It would be great to see and/or be able to expand the map to include all our switches in the same LAN in more than 1 level, or at least know if there are more switches behind another switch in the Map-view. Thanks! / Fredrik

Just started to use observium , it's a great product :) I have a problem with a Core switch Procurve 8212zl, Adding the device with SNMP works great! but after a while all the interfaces gets automatically deleted ..The observium device loggs just shows Interface was marked as DELETED. Anyone knows why this happens?

Error Drawing Graph and more...
by Monico Briseño 04 May '15

04 May '15

Hi, there. I just installed Observium system on Ubuntu server. I followed all instructions on the webpage. However, I found two problems: 1. I add a Linux server. Almost everthing was Ok. However, I couldn't see the graphics. The Observium showed the Error Drawing Graph. 2. I couldn't reach a Windows server with snmp protocol v2 installed. But, the Observium showed the following information: Could not reach 192.168.110.202 with given SNMP parameters using v2c Any ideas?

Friendly Port Naming

Greetings List, I'm using the community edition. I've searched the mail list and see comments from March of 2014 about assigning a friendly name to ports. Has there been any movement on this? Is it planned for the community edition any time soon? Thanks,

6880-X Fan Tray Failure
by Chip Pleasants 01 May '15

01 May '15

While setting up Alerts in Observium I noticed both our Cisco 6880-Xs have Fan Tray 1 50V Power Supply status is false. Looking at the show environment I don't see any issues. Anyone else have these boxes reporting similar Alerts? I did see another thread similar to this, but this seems a little bit different. We don't see any issues with our 6500s ( https://www.mail-archive.com/observium@observium.org/msg07354.html). Below is a screen shot output from show environment from one of our boxes.

inodes monitoring
by Juan Asensio Sánchez 01 May '15

01 May '15

Hi all We have a Netapp storage, and apart from used/free space, we need to monitor used/free inodes, because our applications sometimes generate lots of files and we run out of inodes. Can this item be monitored? This data is published by Netapp using SNMP, so I think this is not parsed or displayed in Observium, is it right? If so, can it be enabled? Inodes can also be monitored for local filesystems. Regards.

Disable Alerts Per Location for Downtime
by Johnston, Tom 30 Apr '15

30 Apr '15

Is there a “simple” way to disable alerts for a location? I have some scheduled power outage for a site and was wondering if you can select multiple devices to temporality disable alerts rather than go into each device one by one. I also forward alerts to my phones sms email so it will generate hundreds of sms once they go down. I do have my devices set up with locations though I’m not sure you can do anything with that. -Tom

Newbie questions
by Anders Johansson 29 Apr '15

29 Apr '15

Hi all, My first post here. First I must say that Observium is the most easy looking open source tool I have ever seen :) I'm trying to figure out a few config items that maybe someone can help me with. Autodiscovery If I'm using $config['autodiscovery']['xdp'] = TRUE; and $config['autodiscovery']['snmpscan'] = TRUE; First it does not seems to add any devices discovered with LLDP/CDP, nor have I found a way to do a snmpscan based on my subnets (also added) 1.) Does Autodiscover work as the config file says the feature is not yet added? PTR/DNS Does observium require a PTR record for every device or just a valid host name trough SNMP? How about FQDN? WMI Seems to be a topic not much covered and not really supported, however in the modules section of a device, let's say a server one can find an on/off switch for WMI and also a settings page. Does this mean WMI is somewhat supported or just a GUI glitch? Thanks

Overrride bandwidth on a port?
by Spencer Ryan 28 Apr '15

28 Apr '15

Is there a way to override the bandwidth on a port that I can't change what is reported via SNMP? For example I have a 50Mb MPLS on a 100Mb Ethernet port. I want the % used and % alerting metrics to be based on 50 and not 100. *Spencer Ryan* | Senior Systems Administrator | sryan(a)arbor.net *Arbor Networks* +1.734.794.5033 (d) | +1.734.846.2053 (m) www.arbornetworks.com

Minigraphs without autoscaling
by Jose A Rodriguez 28 Apr '15

28 Apr '15

Hi there! Is there any way to draw the minigraphs (or graphs) for Bits without autoscaling (using max value from the port capabilities)? With autoscaling it's impossible to compare ports... Best regards, Jose

Hi All, not sure if this is a bug with my browser or a bug with Observium I go into one our mikrotik switches, click Health, then into Temperature if i then click the System 0 the page just keeps refreshing and going back the the same page ? it doesn’t appear to be taking me to the Temperature graphs ? i’ve also noticed that the Temperature page isn’t showing any graphs unlike the Storage or Processor pages ? Ive attached some screenshots showing what i mean ? Regards Simon

Disk IO graphs not generating any more
by Kaya Saman 27 Apr '15

Hi, I'm just wondering if the Disk I/O module has been removed? I do remember reading a while ago of something like this but not currently sure... My version of Observium is CE 0.14.11.6000 Nothing has changed in my setup apart from the usual updates. Regards, Kaya

NTPD monitoring script
by AJ Schroeder 27 Apr '15

27 Apr '15

Hello list, I have rewritten the NTPD application monitoring script as a shell script rather than installing PHP on my servers. I have been running this for a few weeks now and haven't noticed any issues with it. I'd like to see how the script works on a larger variety of systems before I would call it finished. Would anyone else on this list like to give it a try? Thanks, AJ Schroeder

Cisco switches not Polling to observium
by Simarpal Rooprai 24 Apr '15

24 Apr '15

Hey guys So as the headline reads im trying to get the graphs working to observium. I have 2 3560 cisco switches running which can ping to observium host, also the host can ping back. i have a community set up xxxx which i tried on my workstation and it works sending to observium. But trying on the switches seems to be a bit more difficult. When running php poller script i cant seem to find any errors when greping so i think to problem is with the cisco conf. When i take a look in the obserivum host under pollerlog it would seem that my workstations was last pollled but not any of the switches, Last Discovered seems to work just fine. So what do you guys think? Im not to sure where the problem is i might be in the linux host, but im not an expert at linux nor php. Do any of you guys think you might be able to help me out ? Also i have tried to remove the device and adding it again but still no luck. In observium i get this message even though i have waited 24 hours: error drawing graph Device not yet polled This device has not yet been successfully polled. System information and statistics will not be populated and graphs will not draw. Please wait 5-10 minutes for graphs to draw correctly. Down here is the short config from my switch : SW02#show run | in snmp snmp-server community XXXX RO snmp-server host 10.2.1.118 version 2c XXXX Best regards Simarpal

WS-SVC-WISM2-K9
by Chip Pleasants 20 Apr '15

20 Apr '15

Hi all, After building a new Observium server our Cisco WISM2's (WS-SVC-WISM2-K9) aren't recognized as Cisco Wireless Controllers any longer. They come up as Generic Devices on the new server. On the old they are recognized as Cisco Wireless Controllers. Is there something I need to change on my side? Thanks, Chip
