Application alerts, e.g. Exchange/MSSQL
by Colin Stubbs 20 Apr '15

20 Apr '15

Hi Observium Developers, What's the situation with moving towards being able to alert on WMI apps, e.g. Exchange/MSSQL data? e.g. alert if submission queue size >= X It looks as if there's been some work on moving towards this based on the 'app_state' column in the 'applications-state' table... but only for MSSQL, as the current exchange.inc.php doesn't even serialize and insert an app_data in there. Is there a development plan for alerts on WMI apps ? Happy to contribute towards it, but I'd like to avoid wasting time working with what's currently there if a completely different direction is going to be taken. Thanks -Colin

After an update this morning, can't add server anymore (Unsupported SNMP Version)

NetApp filer graphs for Disk IO and Network IO are all NaN
by Peter Loron 16 Apr '15

16 Apr '15

We're running Observium Pro 0.15.4.6386, and I have added our NetApp 2230 filers. The filers are running v8.2.2 Cluster. I'm getting some data, but the graphs in Observium for Network I/O and Disk I/O are all NaN. Any ideas? I'm willing to poke into the issue (bad interpretation of returned values? Need updated OID?), but not sure where to start. Thanks. -Pete

Maximum length for interface descriptions?
by Andrew Plas 16 Apr '15

16 Apr '15

Greetings, I've been on the Observium mailing list for a while, and this is my first inquiry. I have been using Observium for about a year now and continue to be impressed with the product and appreciate the active community on this list. I am attempting to use the default interface description parser outlined in: http://www.observium.org/wiki/Interface_Description_Parsing. However, I notice that if the interface descriptions are too long, either the "Notes" field or the "Circuit" field does not display. In searching through the mailing list archives, I hadn't found a specific answer to this. For example, if I have an interface description like so: description Cust: CustomerA's Full Name MPLS [20Mbps] (Carrier Name) {00/ABCD/000000//ABCD} I receive this output under Ports>Customers page: [image: Inline image 1] And if I adjust the interface description to exclude the "Notes" field, the "Circuit" field displays properly. description Cust: CustomerA's Full Name MPLS [20Mbps] {00/ABCD/000000//ABCD} [image: Inline image 2] Doing an snmpwalk, I do see the the full description in both cases. snmpwalk -c SNMPSTRING -v 2c ng-511-sw-edge1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.2.1.1.28 <omitted> iso.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.2.1.1.28.10610 = STRING: "Cust: CustomerA's Full Name MPLS [20Mbps] (Carrier Name) {00/ABCD/000000//ABCD}" Is there a maximum length that the parser will allow? Is this just a matter of column width on the "Ports" pages? I notice on other ports, when a customer has a really long name it does roll over to another line. Any reason the "Circuit" or "Notes" fields can't? For better or worse, I'd like as much useful information on the dashboard as possible and unfortunately some of these carrier's circuit ID's are very long... My equipment is a Cisco 3750E and I am currently running Observium Professional at version 0.15.4.6378 Thank you for any and all input!

Re: [Observium] Alerting on BGP Ucast prefixes
by Pedersen, Sean 15 Apr '15

15 Apr '15

The only BGP-related metrics at the moment are bgpPeerState, bgpPeerAdminStatus, and bgpFsmEstablishedTime. The prefix data might be graphed, but the same data might not necessarily be available via the alerting system. I’d like to see that kind of alerting as well! Though I don’t think it’d replace something more robust like BGPMon. Plus, it could get quite chatty unless you could set limits on route changes. From: Michael Vieth Reply-To: Observium Network Observation System Date: Wednesday, April 15, 2015 at 7:48 AM To: Observium Network Observation System Subject: [Observium] Alerting on BGP Ucast prefixes I am ecstatic that unicast prefix is graphed on Observium. Is there a way to alert on a change in the number of routes being advertised? For example, say I am receiving 500 routes from a peer, and that drops to 430, is that an alert-able event? (Sorry if this is a repeated question, I am having difficulty finding detailed information on alerts outside of the wiki that just has general alerts documented.)

Re: [Observium] WIFI AP with sane SNMP
by Adam Armstrong 14 Apr '15

14 Apr '15

I've been working with Ruckus's zoneflex devices, the SNMP is quite well laid out and they don't seem to die. They've already partial support in observium, with more coming when I get time :) If you find something else with similarly well structured MIBs (radios, wlans, ssids, etc all nicely enumerated) support can probably be extended to that too. Assuming of course we don't embargo russian SNMP traffic before then :D Adam.

excluding servers from alert checks
by Patrick Marquetecken 14 Apr '15

14 Apr '15

Hi, I'm trying to exclude some servers from a check, but it does not work. Check Conditions processor_usage greater 80 Device match: * notequals db-02 notequals man-01 Entity match * But when I run regenerate the two machines have always the alerts enabled. removing the * from Device match don't help either. A second question, is it possible to suppress alert checking during a certain period , I'll do off site backup each day that triggers this alert. The alert check: Traffic exceeds 85% with a delay of 2 If I put the delay higher I will not receive 'real' alerts.

I'm sure someone (probably several someones) out there is using Observium to monitor one of these devices, and I'm looking for a bit of feedback on how the process goes and what kind of info you receive.

Alert Check not Working
by Johnston, Tom 06 Apr '15

06 Apr '15

I have an alert checker set up to alert for CPU gt 80%. I also have an Alert checker for ifOperStatus. It seems many of the devices have never been checked despite regenerating multiple times. When I hover of the “I” for information its an empty square. Issue happens on the same exact device models and on others we get a result of Checks Ok and some array data under the “I” Devices running identical IOS images, one works, another doesn’t. What information can I gather to help see what the issue may be? Version: Observium 0.15.3.6350 (rolling) Server 4vCPU / 8GB RAM 166 Devices (mostly Cisco Switches)(Polling/Alerting on Mostly Uplinks only, not access interfaces) Thannks.

observium managment should be more professional
by John Brown 06 Apr '15

06 Apr '15

http://afmug.com/pipermail/af/2015-March/018914.html As a provider of internet connectivity (ergo a telco and a ISP) we use licensed microwave and unlicensed microwave technologies to feed our revenue generating customers. We also use fiber, and copper based technologies. microwave != wifi We are not alone in using a mix of technologies to deliver bits to customers. T-Mobile, ATT, Sprint, AllTel, Cellular One, Verizon, etc all use microwave (wireless) technologies to deliver bits. I, like others, have offered to write code, have asked for pointers on how to get started writing code, all appears to have fallen upon deaf ears. I've offered to PAY others to write code to support our kit, with features we need. No takers. As a PAID user, I'm quite shocked and disappointed in Adam's childish behaviour. Users of Observium should be concerned that their continued investment could be a loosing path as more people move AWAY from the product and go support other packages. On two lists that I saw the above URL, not less than 3 dozen people said they where removing observium and not renewing their annual subscriptions. I suspect that will become a trend. Cheers

Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted during the pooling for one host

Hi one host cannot finish the pooling procedure, even though i run it separateley: ./poller.php -h router_host_name -d ..... ..... including: includes/polling/cipsec-tunnels.inc.php after that a lot of messages of this kind: ..... cipSecTunStatus.3157 = active cipSecTunStatus.3158 = active cipSecTunStatus.3159 = active cipSecTunStatus.3160 = active ..... Then the pooling terminates with: SNMP_STATUS[TRUE] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 256 bytes) in /opt/observium/includes/snmp.inc.php on line 654 Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 256 bytes) in /opt/observium/includes/snmp.inc.php on line 654 I increased the memory limit to 256 MB in the php.ini, however still does not work.

Alerting Contacts
by Johnston, Tom 03 Apr '15

03 Apr '15

Hello, Does anyone know if it is possible at current status to have alerting sent to multiple users. Say I want only Cisco IOS devices to get alerts at an email and Windows devices to get alerts at a different email. Is that level of granularity built in at present or on the way at all? Right now my sys admin and I don’t need each others alerts… Thanks in advance.

Re: [Observium] Alerting Contacts
by ron＠rjr-services.com 03 Apr '15

03 Apr '15

I'm sure Adam or others will correct me if necessary, but I seem to recall the documentation saying you can do that by specifying <email address> as part of the SNMP contact value on the device, and whatever you put in config.php will cover those devices that don't have an email address specified in the device snmp contact value. I could be wrong, it's been several weeks since I last read that part of the documentation.

Constant 'reboot' messages for all devices with no uptime counter
by Robert Williams 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

Hi, All of our devices which have no uptime counter (such as IP PDUs and temperature sensors for example) are constantly showing as having ‘rebooted’ every single time they are polled. The issue seems to have started on 27/03/15 at our 6AM SVN up – so whatever revision was released at that time. Since we have a very large number of these devices, the net result of this is a pretty useless eventlog ☺ Like this: [cid:image001.png@01D06CA4.83A8D2A0] …and so on… For each devices they have (always) shown this for Uptime: [cid:image002.png@01D06CA4.83A8D2A0] Since the devices do not have any uptime counters on them. Can I filter/disable/stop these events for these devices somehow? Cheers! Robert Williams Custodian Data Centre Email: Robert(a)CustodianDC.com http://www.CustodianDC.com

dns_get_record or why PHP sucks
by Sir l33tname 01 Apr '15

01 Apr '15

Hey, I guess I have found a bug. In ./includes/common.inc.php on the function gethostbynamel6. The problem is this one: *query the A record:* var_dump(dns_get_record($host, DNS_A)); array(1) { [0]=> array(5) { ["host"]=> string(14) "host.name.tdl" ["class"]=> string(2) "IN" ["ttl"]=> int(0) ["type"]=> string(1) "A" ["ip"]=> string(12) "192.168.17.2" } } *query the AAAA record:* var_dump(dns_get_record($host, DNS_AAAA)); PHP Warning:dns_get_record():DNS Queryfailed infile.php on line 4 bool(false) *query both together* var_dump(dns_get_record($host, DNS_A + DNS_AAAA)); PHP Warning:dns_get_record():DNS Queryfailed infile.php on line 4 bool(false) As you can see if the DNS server doesn't have a AAAA record it fails, this cause for me the error that I couldn't add a new device to the observium. I build a prototype code which could be a solution for this problem but since I'm not a good php programmer I'm sure there is a smarter way for this. $A_record = dns_get_record($host, DNS_A); $AAAA_record = dns_get_record($host, DNS_AAAA); if($A_record != false && $AAAA_record != false) { $record = array_merge($A_record, $AAAA_record); } else if($A_record == false) { $record = $AAAA_record; } else if($AAAA_record == false) { $record = $A_record; } else { #show some error } Since I did all the research it should be fairly easy to fix this, so I hope someone will do it. If you need anything more to fix it please ask. A few things I noticed in the debugging process and totally unrelated to the problem: - the name gethostbyname6 is a bit confusing since it does both I would rename it to gethostbyname - same goes for $try_a I personally would pick a more descriptive name - "Could not resolve $host" in ./includes/functions.inc.php and ./includes/functions.inc_d.php, since It took me some time to figure out what this means I would add something like "Could not resolve $host with your DNS or your Hosts file" But all in all it's a nice code base for a php project, well done! For the case I'm wrong please tell me why. l33tname

match port_id with rrd graphs
by Zhenhui Liang 30 Mar '15

30 Mar '15

Hi, I would like to do some rrdtool fetch against the raw rrd files observium generated to get some reports. But I couldn’t figure out how to match the portid or device_id from observium tables to get the correct path to match to the rrd files. Rrd files location seemed to be at ~observium/rrd/devicenames. But the rrd file name like port-123.rrd, 123 seems not to be the port_id in the ports table. Rather it’s device specific. Thank you very much for your help. —Zhenhui

snmp crash on nexus 7k when polling certain OID
by Steve Costaras 29 Mar '15

29 Mar '15

I'm running observium CE 0.14.11.6000. We just ran into an interesting problem on a Nexus 7K running 6.2(12) code. When observium polls the device, the snmp process crashes and reloads (this happens with every 5 minute poll). Managed to track it down to a specific OID that's causing it: 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.91.1.1.1.1.4.22809 It takes less than a second to reload the snmp process on the 7K; we're engaging cisco to see about a fix, but in the interim besides disabling the device, is there a specific way to block/not poll this particular OID? Older nexus code appears to not have this problem as. Steve

New user - I apologize in advance if I am asking stupid questions
by Rich Elwell 29 Mar '15

29 Mar '15

Greetings, I've recently installed observium and find that it is a great tool. Kudos for developing something so useful and easy to use. I do have a couple of questions. I desire to set the device_id for some of the devices to a specific value. This is not supported in the interface. It looks like I *should* be able to modify the code to allow me to do this, but before I do I wanted to check and see if there is already a way for me to accomplish this without having to modify the code. I also desire to be able to add devices programatically via an API call from an external system. I looked over the existing simple API (not extensively) but it didn't seem like that was possible. So basically I want to be able to do something like: http://myserver/api.php?mydetails&including&device_id and have it add the device while specifying the device_id. Is that possible? If not, I'm probably going to build it. Thanks, Rich -- Rich Elwell, MS, CISSP, GCIA, CCNA, CCNA Security /dev/null security ⋅ network *nix administration

ISSUES/BUg with regards to collect_table Implementation - Suggested Code Changes
by Mark Gibbons 29 Mar '15

29 Mar '15

Hi (especially adam - can you take a read please) Background I have been working on integrating support for Ubiquiti wireless products so that wireless stats can be shown on the "wireless" graph page for these devices. I created routines to process the mibs in /include/polling/graphs using the original loop method to parse the mib to generate and populate the RRD's and everything is working absolutely fine. I will of course submit this work for inclusion once tested/verified fully. However, i read the README (you see people do read README's!!!!!!!!!!): "Please make sure you use the *new* format of graphing poller. Generate a $graph_defs array to be used in collect_table." And i thought I would have a go at the $table_def method. So I defined the MIB as per $tabledef and come across issues with multi indexed oids. In this instance from a MIB walk we have two oids as follows: ubntRadioRssi.1.1 ubntRadioRssi.1.2 So i put the following in table_def: 'ubntRadioRssi.1' => array('index' => '1', 'descr' => 'RSSI Chain 0', 'ds_type' => 'GAUGE', 'ds_name' => 'RadioRssi_0'), 'ubntRadioRssi.1' => array('index' => '2', 'descr' => 'RSSI Chain 1', 'ds_type' => 'GAUGE', 'ds_name' => 'RadioRssi_1'), But, of course, (knowing what i know now) this does not work because the array index is the same and you only get the last entry. So i thought try with a blank index specifying the full oid: 'ubntRadioRssi.1.1' => array('index' => '', 'descr' => 'RSSI Chain 0', 'ds_type' => 'GAUGE', 'ds_name' => 'RadioRssi_0'), 'ubntRadioRssi.1.2' => array('index' => '', 'descr' => 'RSSI Chain 1', 'ds_type' => 'GAUGE', 'ds_name' => 'RadioRssi_1'), But this didn't work so I investgated. The issues surround the handling of the separation of oid and index in both collect table AND snmp_get_multi. Let me Deal with snmp_get_multi first. Snmp_get multi expects an array of full oid's - great. However it spits back an array of oids and index separated. Because you use explode to breakup the oid it will only ever return the first index after the first "." rather than the full index after the first "." I am talking about this code at approx Line 464 in /includes/snmp.inc.php foreach (explode("\n", $data) as $entry) { list($oid,$value) = explode("=", $entry, 2); $oid = trim($oid); $value = trim($value); list($oid, $index) = explode(".", $oid); if (!strstr($value, "at this OID") && isset($oid) && isset($index)) { $array[$index][$oid] = $value; } } This can be corrected if you change it to the following code. In this case the base oid is returned with the FULL index in the index. I can't see that this could/would break other stuff but your experience would know better!! : foreach (explode("\n", $data) as $entry) { list($oid,$value) = explode("=", $entry, 2); $oid = trim($oid); $value = trim($value); $dotpos = strpos($oid, '.'); if ($dotpos != FALSE) { $index = substr($oid, $dotpos+1); $oid = substr($oid, 0, $dotpos); } //list($oid, $index) = explode(".", $oid); if (!strstr($value, "at this OID") && isset($oid) && isset($index)) { $array[$index][$oid] = $value; } } So the next issue is index handling within collect_table and the temporary index of oids created to generate rrdupdate. Current code is at approx 898 in /includes/polling/functions.inc.php: $oids[] = $oid.'.'.$entry['index']; $oids_index[] = array('index' => $entry['index'], 'oid' => $oid); Again if this is changed to the following so that oid and index is re-split like the return from snmp_get_multi we have a working solution where you can specify the full oid as an index for the oid array in table_def with an oid index of '' (blank): if ($entry['index'] != '') { $fulloid = $oid.'.'.$entry['index']; } else { $fulloid = $oid; } $oids[] = $fulloid; $dotpos = strpos($fulloid, '.'); if ($dotpos != FALSE) { $splitindex = substr($fulloid, $dotpos+1); $splitoid = substr($fulloid, 0, $dotpos); } //$oids_index[] = array('index' => $entry['index'], 'oid' => $oid); $oids_index[] = array('index' => $splitindex, 'oid' => $splitoid); So this is a possible solution to the multiple index problem on an oid. By specifying the full oid with blank index. What do you think? Seems like a Win/Win to me but my experience of Observium php code and structure is < 1 week. At least this solution means we can use the table_def method for us but it would mean a lot of maintenance with svn updates. Hope this solution is of possible interest for inclusion. KR's Mark

Cronjobs in polling the devices
by Jerico M. Rubion 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

Hi there, I would like to inquire about the desired minimum cron jobs that are accepted in observium. I only have a Quad Core Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5405 @ 2.00GHz CPU resources available currently managing 69 HOSTS/Devices. My current setting in /etc/cron.d/observium is */10 * * * * root /opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py 4 >> /dev/null 2>&1 */10 * * * * root /opt/observium/poller.php -h all >> /dev/null 2>&1 Can I comment out the 2nd line -> */10 * * * * root /opt/observium/poller.php -h all >> /dev/null 2>&1 ??

You typo'd your realname in your mail client setup ;) 'Ports' is quite a confusing word to use in this context indeed...

Hi folks, we have an alert that triggers when certain ports hit >85% utilisation being triggered by a single device on a regular basis as it seems to get rewalked quite often, which briefly sets the speed of the monitored ports to 0 which then triggers the alert as any utilisation over 0 is >85% :). The device is a Brocade CES, but it is the only one in our fleet that suffers from this rediscover > trigger alert issue. Though the others also seem to rediscover more often than is necessary. Any thoughts on how I might figure out what is going on so I can fix it? Thanks, Chris

I'm trying to get my alerts working but until now without success. I have put a server down, and i know some systems have a disk that is full about 80% I have followed the http://www.observium.org/wiki/Creating_an_Alert_Checker and created some alert according to the examples, and run the regenerate. Test mails are successfully send from the command line. but no luck, can anyone please advice on this matter?

howto control ports
by J.P.M.H. Geerets 24 Mar '15

24 Mar '15

Hi folks, Bit new here. Have an observium (community edition) install in test environment. Is het possible to creat my own ports to test on? Want to test for example ports on a cloverleaf (communication) server to check orm messages etc. Also wanna check dicomports, mostly on 104. Any idea how to do this with observium?

LDAP changes in the Professional version?
by George Phillips 23 Mar '15

23 Mar '15

Hi folks! I tried searching the list but didn’t see anything promising... I had LDAP auth setup and working great on the Community version, but as soon as I upgraded to Professional (version 0.15.3.6343), it ceased allowing logins. A debug of the login shows: LDAP[Connecting to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] LDAP[Connected] LDAP[Referrals][Disabled] LDAP[Version][Set to 3] LDAP[Bind DN called] LDAP[Bind][cn=manager,ou=Internal,dc=example,dc=com] LDAP[Filter][(uid=testuser)][ou=Users,ou=Accounts,dc=example,dc=com] LDAP[Authenticate][User: testuser][Bind user: cn=Test User,ou=Users,ou=Accounts,dc=example,dc=com] LDAP[Authenticate][Comparing: cn=admins,ou=Groups,ou=Accounts,dc=example,dc=com][member=cn=Test User,ou=Users,ou=Accounts,dc=example,dc=com] LDAP[Authenticate][Compare LDAP error: No such object] So this part looked a bit strange to me: LDAP[Authenticate][Comparing: cn=admins,ou=Groups,ou=Accounts,dc=example,dc=com][member=cn=Test User,ou=Users,ou=Accounts,dc=example,dc=com] (notice the strange "member=cn=…" part) My config is: // Begin LDAP Config $config['auth_mechanism'] = "ldap"; $config['auth_ldap_starttls'] = FALSE; $config['auth_ldap_binddn'] = "cn=manager,ou=Internal,dc=example,dc=com"; $config['auth_ldap_bindpw'] = “PASSWORD_HERE"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['uid'] = "uid"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['uidNumber'] = "uidNumber"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['cn'] = "cn"; $config['auth_ldap_objectclass'] = "inetOrgPerson"; $config['auth_ldap_version'] = 3; $config['auth_ldap_server'] = “LDAP_SERVER_IP"; $config['auth_ldap_port'] = 389; $config['auth_ldap_prefix'] = "cn="; $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",ou=Users,ou=Accounts,dc=example,dc=com"; $config['auth_ldap_group'] = array("cn=admins,ou=Groups,ou=Accounts,dc=example,dc=com"); $config['auth_ldap_groupbase'] = "ou=Groups,ou=Accounts,dc=example,dc=com"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmembertype'] = "fulldn"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmemberattr'] = "member"; unset($config['auth_ldap_groups']); $config['auth_ldap_groups']['admins']['level'] = 10; // End LDAP Config Again, this same config works like a champ on the community edition. Did something change with LDAP auth in the professional edition? Am I missing something? Thanks! —George George Phillips www.pfsense.org

Request for more info from Allied Telesis AW+ switches
by Daniel Olynsma 23 Mar '15

23 Mar '15

Hi All, I use Observium daily to monitor various test networks and have noticed limited support for AlliedwarePlus products. I have done some digging round in the MIBs as well as the Observium php files and found that Observium is only extracting the Software version from AT-SETUP-MIB in the file: /opt/observium/includes/polling/os$ cat alliedwareplus.inc.php I would like to request that this be increased to contain more device information. I have found that the HW, serial No etc.. info is available in the AT-RESOURCE-MIB. I have not attached the MIB file as it is already part of Observium. Please find below some experiments that I have done extracting the info. I have conducted experiments on standalone as well as a 'stacked' product consisting of 8 physical switches (rscBoardName).

BUG: (and Fix) in poll-billing.php - snmp v1 issue
by Mark Gibbons 23 Mar '15

23 Mar '15

Hi We upgraded to the PRO version last week so that we could look at the billing feature. We did all the needed setup stuff including install of jdgraph etc and added the required cron jobs. We created a few tests bills on a couple of ports We left it for a few hours and got absolutely nothing. We ran poll-billing manually and kept on seeing that it returned "No Data" We searched online and believe that this bug might be referenced here: http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBSERVIUM-711 We enabled OBS_DEBUG in poll-billing.php and immediately could see the problem. The snmpget command was being invoked requesting v2 High Capacity counters against snmp v1 targets. The reason is that the conditional clause when building the snmpget command is wrong. Currently line 86 reads: if ($port['snmp_version'] == "1" || $port['port_64bit'] == "0") { However the snmpv1 string that should be looked for is "v1" not "1". Changing the clause to: if ($port['snmp_version'] == "v1" || $port['port_64bit'] == "0") { Solves all the problems and poll-billing then correctly returns data from snmp v1 devices. Can the please be fixed in an upcoming SVN release so we do not have to reapply the fix if poll-billing.php gets changed for other reasons. KR's Mark

hi guys, just registered to address a missing info in lighttpd installiation tutorial. "python-mysqldb" package is not in the list of prerequisite packages and what i see is it's required to run the cron "*/5 * * * * root /opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py 2 >> /dev/null 2>&1" if you can edit the tutorial, people who uses lighttpd will be able to see graphs with data. thanks for all your hard work.

Duplicate device neighbour entries
by Chard, Alex (RET-SYD) 23 Mar '15

23 Mar '15

HI All, Just wondering is anyone has seen this happening before. We have switches that run LLDP and CDP. On most switches, Observium correctly determines that the neighbour entries for each protocol are identical and ignores the second one from LLDP. However on one switch, it's decided that it represents a separate connection (see attachment) I suspect it has to do with the differing port ID, but Observium seems to be able to reconcile that on other switches. Any ideas? Thanks, Alex This e-mail is for the use of the intended recipient(s) only. If you have received this e-mail in error, please notify the sender immediately and then delete it.

Critical alert not matching alerts checker
by Robert Williams 22 Mar '15

22 Mar '15

Hi All, I have a device a Cisco 2960G with a failed internal PSU that has switched to it’s backup RPS supply. Observium is correctly identifying this as ‘critical’ under the Status Indicators for the device in question (image below): [cid:image001.png@01D064D0.36501EE0] There is a “Hardware Fault” event I have created which /should/ have matched this, I believe: [cid:image002.png@01D064D0.36501EE0] (I’ve added the match for value = critical as a test, it wasn’t there originally) This alert checker correctly matches a who load of devices and status checkers on many devices (1691 in total, all green): [cid:image003.png@01D064D0.36501EE0] However, for this particular type of sensor, it does not see any sensors which match the “Hardware Fault” checker. As you can see, I have already removed all the “Device Match” and “Entity Match” criteria from the checker itself to rule that out. So essentially this checker is matching every type of sensor that there is (except, obviously, the one which I want it to). When I click the link on the graph for “Sw1, PS1 Critical, RPS Normal” sensor I get this URL http://observium-server/device/device=343/tab=health/metric=status/ which may be of use in helping diagnose this. After doing some more checking, I’ve found that it is not matching any other kind of sensor with a similar class, for example it does not match the WS-CAC-4000W-IN power supplies in any of the Cat6k chassis either. In fact, I think it’s actually failing to match sensors which have ‘normal’ and ‘critical’ type statuses, instead of ‘true’ and ‘false’ So the following sensors highlighted in yellow are also being missed from matching in this generic alerting config: [cid:image004.png@01D064D1.B26D89D0] So I believe it’s a wider issue and not just related to this one device. Can someone confirm what I’m doing wrong and/or maybe check to see if your alerting configurations can match sensors which have an OK state of ‘normal’ instead of ‘true’? Cheers!

Down ports but can't see them
by Chard, Alex (RET-SYD) 20 Mar '15

Hi All, Got an interesting issue... Observium's dashboard shows 2 down ports [cid:image001.png@01D06344.0CB21DF0] But clicking on "2 down" takes me to a screen that shows no down ports: [cid:image002.png@01D06344.0CB21DF0] If I have any more than 2 down ports, they are displayed correctly. Any idea how I can identify the offending ports? Thanks, Alex This e-mail is for the use of the intended recipient(s) only.

tons of rrd zombie processes + solution

Hi, FYI on PHP 5.5 we saw a lot of defunt rrdtool proceeses (1 for every image created in the browser). If you see this there are a couple of fixes/work-around: 1. Fix it in observium, open ./includes/rrdtool.inc.php and change *function rrdtool_pipe_close(&$rrd_process, &$rrd_pipes)* to *function rrdtool_pipe_close($rrd_process, &$rrd_pipes)* 2. downgrade to PHP 5.4 Seems to be caused by https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69014 Regards, Gerwin Krist

Hi, A while ago I posted this patch to Jira, after some brief discussion I didn't hear back about it. I would like to add some more notification backends (for example Slack integration), is there any reason why this would not be accepted? The patch is under http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBSERVIUM-1194 Kind regards, GJ

Hi We have just installed Observium from SVN, added some hosts, and almost everything seems to work fine. We have some MySQL servers, and followed the instructions to get the graphs. Running observium_agent in the MySQL server, I get the <<<mysql>>> section. Doing telnet to the MySQL server from the Observium server, to the agent port, I get the same section, but I don't get any data in the device page. Any advice? The same happens with the Apache servers. Regards.

Dear Team, We are trying to add private IP address to the observium. Our picture: the observium server is having a private IP address tho' NATed to a public ip address. I am trying to add the private IP( of a switch/router), and it gives me the following error Try to add 192.168.128.1: Could not resolve 192.168.128.1. Devices skipped: 1. Does this mean that, the devices can't be added using their IP? Or should the IP be DNS mapped( resolvable )?

Hi All, I have successfully moved a munin under Observium which is very good. One thing that a little bit difficult for me is understanding the alerts part.

Not displaying temp and fan data from Cisco ASA
by Peter Loron 09 Mar '15

09 Mar '15

Hello. We're running (for now, planning to get paid) Observium CE 0.14.11.6000. I have 3 Cisco ASA firewalls v9.2(2)4. Most of the data is coming in properly from them, but I'm not getting correct data for the fan speeds and temps. The temp graphs all show 0.0C for the temps. No lines in the graphs, etc. The fan speed graphs have a line that _looks_ like real data, but the legend says "0rpm", and the value axis has numbers like "1.0 z", "2.0 z", etc. Any suggestions or pointers? Thanks. -Pete

Moving Observium install to another host = redirect loop
by Hogan Whittall 05 Mar '15

05 Mar '15

So, here I thought migrating to another server was going to be easy. I've synced /opt/observium and the MySQL DB to the new host.I've updated config.php with the new URL But, what happens is one of two things... - If I enter my user/pass in the UI and don't check "Remember my login" then I just get taken back to the login screen as if my login didn't work.- If I enter my user/pass in the UI and I do check "Remember my login" then my browsers (Chrome, Firefox) complain about a redirect loop. I'm not seeing any errors on the server side, the only thing is in the Apache access_log it's returning an HTTP 302 code (Found, redirect) for / instead of 200 which I get on the other host. I have no idea why it's doing this. Any help on where to look for the problem or what to fix would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -Hogan

Device map location problem
by Tylla 02 Mar '15

02 Mar '15

Hi All! I was puzzled for some time so I decided to post this to the list. I noticed that no matter how I try to refine the position of some devices on the map, the devices are placed on the map like there was some grid. I mean I can specify the co-ordinates even to 5-6 decimal places, the final co-ordinates generated and displayed on Google Maps are only remotely associated to the ones I specified. For example here is a snippet from the javascript code of map initializing: data.addRows([ ... [47.5100487, 19.0782548, 1, 0, "1 Hosts", '47.511,19.0785', 'devices/location=WyI0Ny41MTEsMTkuMDc4NSJd/'], ... As you can see, the entered co-ordinates are not quite the ones where the pin gets put on the map. I tried to disable the location_map directive in the config file, but the computed co-ordinates are the same, only the link changes: [47.5100487, 19.0782548, 1, 0, "1 Hosts", 'Varosligeti fasor 44, Budapest 1068', 'devices/location=WyJWYXJvc2xpZ2V0aSBmYXNvciA0NCwgQnVkYXBlc3QgMTA2OCJd/'], The question is, what does Observium compute on the entered co-ordinates and why is it changing them? Not that those 100 meters do really matter, but I am curious. My system is Observium CE 0.14.11.6000 running on Debian 7..8, php 5.4.36 If I should include any other information please say so.

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone could provide some help with a few alert checkers. I've tried a number of different values for these rules with no luck, hoping someone out there could give me a hand. In return I've shared a few working checkers at the bottom :). The ones I'm having issues with are below. The first two alert on session utilization for Juniper/Palo Alto firewalls, the last is meant to watch an Aruba controller and alert if a registered AP goes up or down.

Adding a Unix Agent Device
by Stephen Bateman 01 Mar '15

Hi Everyone, I am trying to get statistics for my VM's and nginx on each VM, so I have installed the unix-agent on the host and now getting data from the telnet test as noted in the instructions at http://www.observium.org/wiki/UNIX_Agent However I cannot find no way to add the host to Observium as it simply wants SNMP data under the Add Device option. I am clearly missing something, so any tips ? Thanks Stephen
