Re: [Observium] No port names in traffic accounting

Any thoughts on this issue? Is this a known issue?

monitor device by multiple ips
by Simon Smith 20 Aug '14

20 Aug '14

Hi All, this is a daft random question, can i monitor a device via multiple ip addresses? for instance, we have a site with a mikrotik router, they currently have 3 internet lines (DONT ASK!) 2xADSL,1xFTTC currently we use PPPOE on the router so we can see the mikrotik directly, ive enabled SNMP remotely and i monitor the box via 1 of the ADSL lines, however its constantly goes up and down and never makes up its mind! the other issue i have is the FTTC line is dynamic ip and never stays the same for more then 48hrs so in my mind, /etc/hosts or DNS for site1.router goes to 1.2.3.4, 5.6.7.8, 9.10.11.12 then every check it always use one of three ip addresses ? am i correct? or is the another way of monitoring this device? regards Simon

Postgresql fails to execute?
by Kaya Saman 19 Aug '14

19 Aug '14

Hi, I'm running Observium on a FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE x64 system. For some reason the Postgresql script isn't working; I have turned debugging on: set 0 -> 1 The output however just seems to be: ./postgresql.pl Execute Failed The odd thing is that other Perl based scripts are working on the same box. eg. Apache. the postgresql.conf file has the correct details: db_driver set to: Pg db_host is set to the IP address of the database Jail etc.... These modules are installed which I'm sure are the relevant ones: perl5-5.16.3_11 Practical Extraction and Report Language perl5-5.16.3_11 Practical Extraction and Report Language p5-Class-DBI-3.0.17_1 Simple Database Abstraction p5-Class-DBI-Pg-0.09_1 Extensions to Class::DBI for PostgreSQL p5-DBD-Pg-3.2.1 Provides access to PostgreSQL databases through the DBI p5-DBI-1.631 Perl5 Database Interface, required for DBD::* modules p5-DBIx-ContextualFetch-1.03 Add contextual fetches to DBI p5-Ima-DBI-0.35 Database connection caching and organization Would anyone be able to suggest anything?

Syslog msg empty temporary fix
by Pavelas Sokolovas 19 Aug '14

19 Aug '14

Hi, all. After dist upgrade from Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04 syslog messages from cisco IOS devices became empty. There is a similar thread/bug: http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBSERVIUM-850 http://postman.memetic.org/pipermail/observium/2014-August/007527.html We’ve managed to work around it by changing: template ("$HOST||$FACILITY||$PRIORITY||$LEVEL||$TAG||$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY $HOUR:$MIN:$SEC||$MSG||$PROGRAM\n") to: template ("$HOST||$FACILITY||$PRIORITY||$LEVEL||$TAG||$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY $HOUR:$MIN:$SEC||:: : :: $MSG||$PROGRAM\n") in syslog config. For the developers: it happened after update of syslog/php to 3.5.3-1 [@9695e81] / PHP 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.3 from whatever was current on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS , worked fine before that. Also, the data examplesyslog sends to the script is: 10.x.x.x||local7||notice||notice||bd||2014-08-19 20:21:10||%SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by xx on vty3 (10.x.x.xx)||BST Hope this helps!

Question octets to Mbps conversion.
by Senses0 19 Aug '14

19 Aug '14

Hi, I am using below query to convert ifInOctets_rate to Mbps value. mysql> SELECT ifInOctets_rate, CONCAT(ROUND((ifInOctets_rate*8)/1024/1024,2), " Mbps") ConvertedValue FROM `ports-state` WHERE port_id=105; +-----------------+----------------+ | ifInOctets_rate | ConvertedValue | +-----------------+----------------+ | 55014356 | 419.73 Mbps | +-----------------+----------------+ The value I get different from the value printed on the graph for the same port_id. On the graph I got 427Mbps, while this conversion gives me 419. Since I don't know where in the code this conversion happens, I couldn't figure out if this is the way to go about it or not. Could someone shed some light? Thanks

Hello, I am able to monitor pretty much everything from firewalls to switches but I am having problems with my vmware hosts. It will add the devices fine via SNMP but when it comes to polling them it will give an "SNMP UnreachableMySQL" after running the poller.php -h 'vmware host' It will show as down on the site and every now and then it comes back online. Then it will show as down again.Attached is a screenshot of the polling information.[image: Inline image 1]

Add_device fails at SNMP

I am a little confused and looking for suggestions on what I can do to troubleshoot this issue. On the machine that I am running Observium on I can use snmpwalk to view the device’s system information. ubuntu@mgh-netmon:/opt/observium$ snmpwalk -Os -v 2c -c communitystring mx-hospital system sysDescr.0 = STRING: Meraki MX80 Cloud Managed Security Appliance sysObjectID.0 = OID: enterprises.29671.2.103 sysName.0 = STRING: MX-HOSPITAL sysORID.1 = OID: snmpMIB sysORID.2 = OID: vacmBasicGroup sysORID.3 = OID: ifMIB sysORDescr.1 = STRING: The MIB module for SNMPv2 entities sysORDescr.2 = STRING: View-based Access Control Model for SNMP. sysORDescr.3 = STRING: The MIB module to describe generic objects for network interface sub-layers sysORUpTime.1 = Timeticks: (1) 0:00:00.01 sysORUpTime.2 = Timeticks: (1) 0:00:00.01 sysORUpTime.3 = Timeticks: (16) 0:00:00.16 However when I use add_device it tells me that it cannot add the device. ubuntu@mgh-netmon:/opt/observium$ ./add_device.php mx-hospital communitystring v2c 161 udp Observium v0.14.4.5229 Add Device(s) Try to add mx-hospital: Trying v2c community communitystring ... No reply on community communitystring using v2c. Could not reach mx-hospital with given SNMP community using v2c. Devices skipped: 1. Any ideas? I know it Is not a network/firewall related issue since SNMPWALK can access the device. I know it is not an SNMP string issue because both SNMPWALK and another monitoring system is able to access this device using the provided SNMP string.

Up/Down Monitoring
by Lane Eckley 18 Aug '14

18 Aug '14

Hi Guys, I am attempting to setup an alert checker for when a server goes into a "down" state for either SNMP or Ping - ideally I would like to create one alert checker for each (ping & snmp). Reviewing the metrics documentation I believe I should be using a combination of the following two: device_status (0 = down, 1 = up) device_status_type (reason for down, 'snmp'/'ping') Using the above I am failing miserably it seems as I am unable to get the alert checker to "match" a machine I turned off to do the testing. Can anyone share a quick step by step on how to setup this alert checker correctly? Thanks! -Lane

Hello There, Does Observium have an ability to deploy poller nodes. We currently support a number of fixed wireless networks in which we don't have visibility into. We are looking to deploy a remote node to poll/monitor remote network devices i.e deploy a VM into network and have necessary ports open back to master node and have single display?

http-auth
by John P Arends 17 Aug '14

17 Aug '14

I configured observium to use the http-auth method combined with our web sso system. I believe it is OpenAM, but I’m a consumer of the service and not someone who maintains it. I’m mentioning this because the docs state there are no known users of http-auth. It works well, and required no configuration on my part. I just have to create users for each person that match their campus NetIDs. This is incredibly useful.

paid version not reporting any data
by Anthony Polselli 14 Aug '14

14 Aug '14

Got something very odd going on...after testing Observium, I purchased it and installed it onto a clean Ubuntu VM. Everything went fine, I added devices, cron job, etc and started to get some graphs. But yesterday and todays graphs are all blank. When I drill-down to a specific interface and click on real-time, I get these odd spikes where it shows 31Mbps In (which is high for this port). I did a side-by-side comparison to the test VM I setup with the free version of Observium and the real-time is working correctly there.

Observium constantly device down and up by ping
by Chris Pelling 14 Aug '14

14 Aug '14

Hi Guys, Our observium (latest) 0.14.8.5749 has for some time been showing devices up and down in the event log, graphs missing chucks of information as well. As an example, here is the memory usage on one ubnt box, but, its the same for others too (network / memory ) http://gyazo.com/18db347a5d49e557c082f343b8e96ea5 Here is the copy of the event log for the device : http://gyazo.com/4324c896e6cc268a8869d17c80964340 I can't seem to narrow it down. The machine is running Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS and as mentioned above, latest Observium. Any ideas where to poke ? Its not a single device, its multiple devices. The only thing so far I have not swapped out is the server observium sits on. -- Kind regards, Chris

CBQoS 'drop' vs 'policed-transmit'
by Robert Williams 14 Aug '14

14 Aug '14

Hi, Just noticed that the CBQoS stuff has gone active recently (which is very cool) - currently we get all this via (very) painful integration with Cacti. On looking closer I've found what I think is an issue, but stand ready to be corrected. What I think is happening is that Observium is considering packets the Cisco counted as "Exceeded" to have been "Dropped" where in reality they were just re-marked and transmitted normally. As an example, here is the graph for gi3/1 (class-default) on a 6500 chassis: Here is the output of the show policy-map int gi3/1: GigabitEthernet3/1 Service-policy input: <name> class-map: <Class A> (match-any) Match: protocol arp Match: access-group name <ACL A1> Match: access-group name <ACL A2> police : 32000 bps 102400 limit 102400 extended limit Earl in slot 3 : 1377162657 bytes 5 minute offered rate 2280 bps aggregate-forwarded 1377162657 bytes action: transmit exceeded 0 bytes action: drop <- Zero drops aggregate-forward 2520 bps exceed 0 bps class-map: class-default (match-any) Match: any police : 40000000 bps 3200000 limit 3200000 extended limit 1000000000 pir-bps Earl in slot 3 : 10562039041987 bytes 5 minute offered rate 11748848 bps aggregate-forwarded 10562039041987 bytes action: set-dscp-transmit exceeded 297846881624 bytes action: policed-dscp-transmit violated 0 bytes action: drop <- Zero drops aggregate-forward 13842064 bps exceed 0 bps violate 0 bps So in summary, there have never been any actual drops on the port, only re-marking of the DSCP (incrementing the exceeded counter) and then a transmit. Since the re-marking occurs in the "exceeded" counter, I think Observium is considering them as dropped, instead of just exceeded. This also messes up the pre-policy and post-policy counters, because it implies that traffic didn't make it through when in reality it all did. We use re-marking extensively and so all of the CBQoS graphs show incorrect drop and post-policy information. Either that or we've got a bug/misconfiguration (or I just don't get it), so maybe someone else can confirm? Let me know what debug info is needed if it helps :) Cheers!

Possible bug in BGP Prefixes graphs?
by Erwin Heringa 14 Aug '14

14 Aug '14

Hi Observium team, Earlier this week the global route table hit 512k prefixes, so I was looking in Observium how many prefixes each peer announces. But there is something wrong that I can't explain and it could be a bug. This morning I upgraded to the latest (paid) version r5747, that didn't change this. For peer 195.69.144.192 my Juniper router shows 89 received prefixes: rtr1> show bgp neighbor 195.69.144.192 | match prefixes Active prefixes: 47 Received prefixes: 89 Accepted prefixes: 89 Advertised prefixes: 7 Via snmp on the router: This peer has index 155, and Peer with index 155 has 89 prefixes: rtr1> show snmp mib wal decimal 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.1.1 | match 144.192 | match PeerIndex jnxBgpM2PeerIndex.0.1.195.69.144.49.1.195.69.144.192 = 155 rtr1> show snmp mib wal decimal 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2 | match \.155\. | match Prefixes jnxBgpM2PrefixInPrefixes.155.1.1 = 89 jnxBgpM2PrefixInPrefixesAccepted.155.1.1 = 89 jnxBgpM2PrefixInPrefixesRejected.155.1.1 = 42 jnxBgpM2PrefixOutPrefixes.155.1.1 = 7 Via snmp on the Observium server: snmpwalk -v3 -l authPriv -u ***** -a SHA -A ****** -x AES -X ******* rtr1 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2 | grep \.155\. iso.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2.1.7.155.1.1 = Gauge32: 89 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2.1.8.155.1.1 = Gauge32: 89 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2.1.9.155.1.1 = Gauge32: 42 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2.1.10.155.1.1 = Gauge32: 7 But the graphs looks like this, with only 8 prefixes: [cid:image001.png@01CFB7A9.99364360] And even worse for our transit provider: rtr1> show bgp neighbor 195.69.144.34 | match prefixes Active prefixes: 158327 Received prefixes: 505071 Accepted prefixes: 505070 Advertised prefixes: 7 snmpwalk -v3 -l authPriv -u ***** -a SHA -A ***** -x AES -X ****** rtr1 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2.1 | grep '\.4\.1\.1' iso.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2.1.7.4.1.1 = Gauge32: 505068 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2.1.8.4.1.1 = Gauge32: 505066 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2.1.9.4.1.1 = Gauge32: 346727 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2.1.10.4.1.1 = Gauge32: 7 [cid:image002.png@01CFB7AC.69D3A650] This behavior seems to have changed around March 1st.

I've tried on observium version 5728 and CE version 5229. Is anyone else using XMR, CES/CER, or MLX routers getting the same thing? Thanks, Ken

Billing
by Mike Grant 13 Aug '14

13 Aug '14

I have the subscription version and have the billing working. What I am trying to do is work out if I can only bill certain traffic. i.e. I only want to charge for international traffic at a $ per MB rate but charge nothing for local traffic. I'm using a Mikrotik Cloudcore router, the international data goes out one gateway and the domestic out another. So I really only want to bill the data for a port that goes in and out one particular gateway. Anyone doing anything like this? Thanks, Mike.

Sensor_value alerts do not process
by Alain Gyger 12 Aug '14

12 Aug '14

I'm using SVN version 5742 and all of my alerts work except those that are supposed to check a sensor_value metric. I'm able to check and get emails for alerts on processor_usage, toner_current, and mempool_perc, to name a few, so I know the system is working. When I run the alerter.php script against one of the hosts indicated under the processor_usage alert and I get "1 Status: OK" messages. But when I run alerter.php against a host indicated under the sensor_value alert for Battery Capacity or for APC UPS Temperature I get "-1 Unknown status". The graphs for these sensors are fine, the MySQL table sensors-state lists the correct values as well. My configuration for temperature looks like this: Entity Type: Temperature Delay: 1 Status: 0/0/0/0/2 Check Conditions: Require any condition Tests: sensor_value gt 40 Device Match: type match power Entity Match: sensor_descr match Temp* The alert checker seems fine, but it looks like the tests are failing when they are run. Has anyone else had the same issues with sensor_value alerts? Or is this feature not quite ready to be used?

No port names in traffic accounting

Clean up duplicate ports in DB?
by Hogan Whittall 09 Aug '14

09 Aug '14

Long story short, there was a period of time where hosts were added and removed from Observium a number of times (Essentially all hosts added, deleted, added, etc). In general, there were no ill effects other than losing the previous graph data and ports not being deleted from the DB when hosts were removed. So now I have this. mysql> select count(*) from ports; +----------+ | count(*) | +----------+ | 20701 | +----------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) 907+5+1+582 = 1495 So there are a number of stale/orphaned port entries in the DB. What would be the best way to fix this? Thanks! -Hogan

Hi, >From the reading I've done it seems that Observium supports IPMI and I've got a Supermicro motherboard I'd like to get stats from.

Other than stating that you need IPMItools installed, the Observium documentation doesn't provide any details about how IPMI devices should be configured. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hello, I've installed Netdisco 2 with the Observium plugin. This plugin allows Netdisco to show graphs and open interface pages in Observium from within Netdisco. This is also related to Jira ticket 333. When I open a URL, http://observium.server//device/hostname=name.domainname/tab=port/ifdescr=R…) in Netdisco, I get the following error: "Invalid device/port combination. The port/device combination was invalid. Please retype and try again.". However, the correct page is shown in Observium... Any idea what generates this error message?

Bind graph problems
by Brad Pearpoint 07 Aug '14

07 Aug '14

Hi all, I have a problem with my bind graphs in Observium 0.14.8.5736 with RRDtool 1.4.7. I have the Unix-agent configured with the bind plugin on two dev DNS servers. These DNS servers are under really low load, just a couple of requests a minute at most. If I run dns# ./bind | grep -i req-in,Q I receive: req-in,QUERY:1562 Which is correct. Then on my Observium box if I run: obs# rrdtool info /opt/observium/rrd/dns2 /app-bind-1-req-in.rrd | grep query ds[query].index = 0 ds[query].type = "DERIVE" ds[query].minimal_heartbeat = 600 ds[query].min = 0.0000000000e+00 ds[query].max = 7.5000000000e+06 ds[query].last_ds = "1562" <<<<<<<<< Looks good ds[query].value = 0.0000000000e+00 ds[query].unknown_sec = 0 But my graphs in the web interface of totally wrong. My incoming requests graph is showing 100-250 million. Any tips of where to start looking to solve this? Thanks, Brad

ifLastChange usage query
by Peter Childs 06 Aug '14

06 Aug '14

Looking at an operational issue where we had a small interface flap between polls, so link state between polls hasn't changed, but iFLastChange has. Looking at the 'data' view through the UI for the port ifLastChanged doesn't appeared to have changed, and looking through the poller code it appears perhaps it is only updated on a change of operational/admin status on a port? Would there be any use in poller updating it in the db if it was different to the existing value in the port cache ? It would be interesting to be able to alert on 'ifLastChange' < 'some value' .. Or just have the update in the EventLog so when having a look-see at a device it is apparent that a link flap has occurred. A visual indicator in ports basic/detailed view for 'last change' < 'some global config value' like a little exclamation mark or something potentially could be useful to operators to 'spot' issues. Imagine being able to view ports, sort on 'LastChange' during an incident to 'spot' potential causes of issues? Would any of this make sense to anyone? Cheers, Peter

Discoverying and polling VRF, OSPF and BGP Processes on Nexus 7K : where to start coding
by Mathieu MILLET 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

Hi, I would like to give a try to code some PHP Patchs, so that Observium can discover VRF, OSPF, BGP and so on Nexus 7K platform (our reference will be Nexus 7700 with NX-OS 6.2). We are implementing "VRF-Lite" style (no MPLS), so according to Cisco documentation, it is mandatory to map in NX-OS configuration, a SNMP Context (v3) to each instance of VRF, OSPF, BGP, whatever .... My try will be to first discover the context mapping with this Cisco MIB : CISCO-CONTEXT-MAPPING-MIB.my and then to iterate on these mappings using an additional function like "get snmp walk/bulk with context" on these contexts. Do you have any advice how I could do that ? Which files should I implement / pacth ? Which files could I use as examples and inspiration ? Also, I plan to make patch against the last open release (SVN revision 5229). Is that a problem ? Thank you in advance for your help, Sincerely yours, Mathieu. -- Mathieu MILLET mailto:obs@htam.net

adjusting bandwidth graphs to what the client is paying for
by Anthony Polselli 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

Hi, Just checking out the software for the first time and really liking it. We are using PRTG now and of the things we like about it is per interface we are monitoring, we can set the max x-axis value. It helps our tech's to know what speed Internet connection a client is paying for. We will hand off a 100Mbps interface to the client, but if they are only paying for 20Mbps, we will shape the traffic down to 20Mbps on the router. When you look at the percent graph in Observium, it's based on a 100Mbps max possible speed instead of 20Mbps. Thanks!

Using PHP Weathermap with Observium
by Markus Klock 04 Aug '14

04 Aug '14

Hello! We are migrating from Cacti to Observium and it was a great experience, the only thing we lacked were the weathermap plugin for getting that nice network overview. I then found that Neil Lathwood wrote a modified version of the PHP Weathermap that works with Observium data, you can find it on his github: https://github.com/laf/weathermap I wrote a quick and dirty script that adds the weathermaps to the Observium menu without modifying Observium-code so that it will not break when updating Observium. It works really well so I wrote a little guide for how you get the weathermap to work with Observium and posted it here: http://blog.best-practice.se/2014/07/using-php-weathermap-with-observium.ht… In case there are more people interested in using the weathermap with Observium :) /Markus

Hello list, After an upgrade recently, our Simple API calls have been failing. I just updated to latest svn 0.14.8.5732 and here is what I am seeing: sample api call: wget -O - " http://myserver/api.php?username=myuser&password=mypass&module=bandwidth&po… " which returns: HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 500 Internal Server Error When adding debug=1 option, I get a lot of output which I have pasted here: http://pastie.org/private/zulxpk1n4viyyymxw89wjg The relevant bit seems to be: Fatal error: Call to undefined function humanize_device() in /opt/observium/includes/common.inc.php on line 964 Any tips for how to debug this? Best, Mark

PPPoE ports not displaying in Observium Discovery

Better poller for Observium
by Alex Povolotsky 24 Jul '14

24 Jul '14

Hello While Observium has a nice interface, it's database lacks foreign keys a lot, and poller.php is AWFUL. It's slow and unreadable. I've started a new, about 40-50 times lighter observium poller https://github.com/tarkhil/observium-poller It supports only SNMP for now, and is work-in-progress. Only os, processor and memory modules are working, and ports is about 50% finished. If anyone is interested, please join. I'm sure to complete SNMP support for Cisco, but quite unsure if I'll be interested in implementing much else. Alex

Interesting experiment with poll over SSH
by Peter Childs 24 Jul '14

24 Jul '14

We have a host about 320ms from our observium node (yes.. The other side of the planet). Doing a full poll circa 650-700ms (including mac and bgp tables... Its a IOS-XR ASR9K ..). Adjusting the Cr/max-reps did increase speeds, and caused several nasty snmpd explosions on the chassis. As a exercise in interest I spun up a VM much closer to the host, unpacked /opt/observium/mibs etc and configured snmp on that remote host. Then did this root@obs1:/opt/observium# diff -c includes/snmp.inc.php.orig includes/snmp.inc.php *** includes/snmp.inc.php.orig 2014-07-23 17:43:53.720274321 +0930 --- includes/snmp.inc.php 2014-07-23 17:56:23.092286235 +0930 *************** *** 333,338 **** --- 333,345 ---- // Add the OID(s) to the strong $cmd .= " ".$oids; + if( $device['hostname'] == 'faraway.router.com' ){ + $cmd = "ssh -i ~x/x.pem x@remote-poller-node -C " . escapeshellarg($cmd) ; + } This was interesting, but the ssh establishment phase for each snmp execution was a lot of overhead.. So I also did this root@obs1:/opt/observium# cat ~/.ssh/config Host remote-poller-node # HostName machine1.example.org ControlPath ~/.ssh/controlmasters/%r@%h:%p ControlMaster auto ControlPersist 10m This means that a ssh 'master instance' was setup at the start of the poll, and hangs around in the background between executions of various snmpcmd's during the poll. Full poll went from 650-700ms -> ~170ms Thought this might be of interest to some people. Cheers, Peter

Alert checks with load average ?
by Xavier Beaudouin 23 Jul '14

Dear Observium gurus, Do you know if it is possible to make alert uppon load average (1minutes) like for example if load average if > 5.0 (this is a random value, but here is an idea).

[SOLVED] Housekeeping not deleting records if you have a stupid number to kill.
by Crozier, Doug 23 Jul '14

23 Jul '14

I have a rather old and crufty installation of Observium (now at 5668) with over 70 million syslog, eventlog, and timing records that are older than 7 days. The first time I ran housekeeping -s to trim syslog messages it took about 30 minutes to return showing 42 million records. Just to be sure I was actually done deleting 42 million records, I re-ran the command. The same 42 million records were found. Meh. I ran the housekeeping in debug mode and noticed that I didn't have posix support installed. So I installed the php-process package and tried again. Still no records deleted. I tried deleting fewer records by keeping 18 months worth and that didn't help either. Here's the debug output from attempting to delete records older than 7 days: [root@xxx ~]# php /opt/observium/housekeeping.php -s -d DEBUG! SQL[SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `syslog` WHERE UNIX_TIMESTAMP(`timestamp`) < 1405322208;] 42123350 syslog entries from before 2014-07-14 15:16:48 will be deleted [y/N]: y SQL[DELETE FROM `syslog` WHERE UNIX_TIMESTAMP(`timestamp`) < 1405322208;] Syslog housekeeping: deleted entries Deleting the eventlog records also fails to remove the records: [root@xxxx observium]# php housekeeping.php -e -d DEBUG! SQL[SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `eventlog` WHERE UNIX_TIMESTAMP(`timestamp`) < 1380059875;] 29289378 eventlog entries from before 2013-09-25 05:57:55 will be deleted [y/N]: y SQL[DELETE FROM `eventlog` WHERE UNIX_TIMESTAMP(`timestamp`) < 1380059875] Event log housekeeping: deleted entries (As an aside, I'm not sure, but there may be a semi-colon missing on the delete statement for event log records.) What I eventually found was that trying to delete this many records exhausts the lock table (?). ERROR 1206 (HY000): The total number of locks exceeds the lock table size Issuing the same command from the mysql CLI and adding a 10,000,000 limit allowed the deletion to work correctly mysql> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `eventlog` WHERE UNIX_TIMESTAMP(`timestamp`) < 1380059875; +----------+ | COUNT(*) | +----------+ | 28177378 | +----------+ 1 row in set (51.76 sec) mysql> DELETE FROM `eventlog` WHERE UNIX_TIMESTAMP(`timestamp`) < 1380059875 LIMIT 10000000; Query OK, 10000000 rows affected (3 min 40.32 sec) mysql> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `eventlog` WHERE UNIX_TIMESTAMP(`timestamp`) < 1380059875; +----------+ | COUNT(*) | +----------+ | 18177378 | +----------+ 1 row in set (37.01 sec) Interesting to note that deleting 10 million records at a time with the LIMIT statement doesn't always work. Adjusting the LIMIT up and down eventually got me where I was going. Now that I have it the system down to a reasonable number of records, a nightly/weekly cron job should do just fine. Thanks for the effort you put into this Tom. For me, this was like a hardware upgrade.

Login issue. IP works hostname does not?
by Scott Benninger 22 Jul '14

22 Jul '14

I have a strange issue that I cannot resolve. I have a recent install of the community edition on Ubuntu 14.04. Only difference is the sites available directive changes to make it work compared to the official install docs. Everything was working perfectly and I could login via IP, hostname, or FQDN. The server is a VMware VM and I forgot to install the VMware tools so our VMware monitoring software would stop complaining. I installed the tools and rebooted and now I can only login via the IP. If I try via hostname etc the form just clears with no errors. Adding /debug=1/ shows the mysql commands etc but no errors. I have checked all the hostname settings, defaulted the host file, checked the apache and site configs and nothing working. Seems like a php issue to me. Any ideas? Thanks in advance and my apologies if this something simple that I have missed. Scott

Moving obvsevium to a new host

19 Jul '14

Hi All, We are going to migrate our Observium install (paid) to a different VM, same architecture and everything. I ended up pulling down the latest version from SVN, but to move the actual data over do I need to move anything other than the RRD directory, the config file, and the MySQL database?

Housekeeping script
by Tom Laermans 18 Jul '14

18 Jul '14

Hi everyone, Yesterday I committed a housekeeping script to clean up after Observium. If you have a nice number of devices combined with a long running time of Observium, you're sure to have a gigantic database of event log, syslog and performance timing information. Some of you have resorted to periodically truncating tables - fear no more, housekeeping.php is here! You have a choice of specifying either -a for all modules or s, e, r, p and/or t for specific things. Apart from that, there are options in the configuration to set before most of these things actually do anything. What it does: -s Cleans up syslog data, based on the age of the entries. Configured by $config['housekeeping']['syslog']['age'] = 0; // Maximum age of syslog entries in seconds; 0 to disable i.e. 7*86400 for 7 days. -e Cleans up eventlog data, based on the age of the entries. Configured by $config['housekeeping']['eventlog']['age'] = 0; // Maximum age of eventlog entries in seconds; 0 to disable i.e. 30*86400 for 30 days. -r Cleans up RRD files, there are 2 options here: Cleanup of RRD files with a modification time of a certain age. Ports that are gone, sensors that are gone, erroneaously created RRD files due to bugs or hardware changes, etc. Configured by $config['housekeeping']['rrd']['age'] = 0; // Maximum age of unused rrd files in seconds before automatically purging; 0 to disable i.e. 90*86400 for 90 days. Cleanup of invalid RRD files. Requires $config['file'] to be set correctly to the path of the "file" magic utility. Runs over all .rrd files to see if they are identified as RRDTool Databases. They can sometimes get corrupted (0 bytes, half a file) when your disk/ramdrive is full. When they exist, they are not recreated even if they're invalid. Consequently RRDtool refuses to add data into them as they are not valid RRD database files. This scripts deletes any .rrd file not identified as RRDTool. Configured by $config['housekeeping']['rrd']['invalid'] = TRUE; // Delete .rrd files that are not valid RRD files (eg created with a full disk) Note: this defaults to true currently. Handle with care. -p Cleans up deleted ports. You can do this manually by using the purge button in the web interface, but one could probably safely assume if a port has not returned after 30 days it really is gone. Shorter could be useful in your environment, mine is set to 7 days. Configured by $config['housekeeping']['deleted_ports']['age'] = 0; // Maximum age of deleted ports in seconds before automatically purging; 0 to disable i.e. 30*86400 for 30 days. -t: Cleans up perf time information. Observium keeps performance times per module, per device and per run. This quickly accumulates into a giant number of rows in the database. Configured by $config['housekeeping']['timing']['age'] = 0; // Maximum age of timing (discovery and poll time) entries in seconds; 0 to disable i.e. 7*86400 for 7 days. Housekeeping logs into housekeeping.log in the log_dir. (*) I recommend putting this into cron, daily or weekly (yes, even though the age is set in seconds, I don't recommend running it every minute ;), but only after you've run it manually once. It'll take quite a while the first time to clean up large databases. The "check for invalid RRD files" is probably quite I/O heavy. i'll be documenting this on the wiki soonish. (*) log_dir was also added as a new configuration directive, it defaults to ${installdir}/logs which will be created automatically for you if possible. Tom

Issue with discovery.php -h all and certain cisco devices

Discovery crashing UPS management card
by Steve Kersley 16 Jul '14

16 Jul '14

Good morning all, I'm a recent adopter of Observium so still finding my feet and slowly learning how best to set it up. However, I have noticed that since installing it, it was reporting that my main UPS management card was rebooting every 6 hours. The UPS is an Eaton 9SX 5000i + battery pack, with Network-MS management card, firmware HF which is the latest available for card tech level 16. Dabbling more, it seems that it's the discovery process that is causing it, specifically when it walks the xupsOutput table (.1.3.6.1.4.1.534.1.4) in the Powerware MIB, the UPS management card immediately stops responding and reboots. It actually appears to be crashing on doing a GetNext on .1.3.6.1.4.1.534.1.4.7.0, which is beyond the defined values in that table. The UPS continues to operate, but the management card stops. This also means that Observium has only managed to discover the 'input' voltage - output, bypass and current/power readings all just read as zero as the card has stopped responding when it tries to read those. The poll runs fine and gets data from the input voltage sensor. Clearly this is not an Observium issue: I can reproduce the reboot with a simple snmpwalk on the commandline, which should be a valid operation on a published MIB. I do have a ticket open with the manufacturer, although the first response was 'does it work with our management software?'. It may even be a fault on my unit, but I don't have more than one of these to test. I'm assuming there's a reason for the discovery module to need to walk the tables rather than just read the specific values - presumably bigger UPS units might have multiple metered AC inputs and outputs rather than just the one? I could disable sensor discovery, which will stop the reboots but that won't let it learn about the additional sensors that it still hasn't found. Unless I can manually insert data into the database for the poller to pick up? Alternatively, is there a way for me to override the detection of a Powerware UPS and use the generic UPS MIB rather than the XUPS MIB? Any other thoughts? Steve.

Ubuntu 12.04? Does r5229 work on Ubuntu 14.04?
by Rob Townley 15 Jul '14

15 Jul '14

Loving observium, but noticed some issues with it detecting well over 448 ports on a switch that nothing was plugged into except two patch cables but then i just happened to notice php version on Ubuntu 12.04. The Ubuntu installation directions had some conflicting information: Requires php5.4 but Ubuntu 12.04 does not includes php5.3 only. Recommend LTS, but recommend 13.04 which is not LTS. Does not mention 14.04 LTS. The existing community download is from April which provides another reason that Ubuntu 14.04 LTS will not work well since there has not been another release since then. So i am trying to decide to add a PPA for php5.4 or do i upgrade the entire OS to 14.04? Will the April 2014 (SVN# 5229 ) Observium release work just fine on 14.04.

It is a virtual chassis fabric with 2x QFX51 and 2x EX43 When you open the device, in the list of ports, the last ones don't appear: 2/0/14, ge-2/0/15, ge-2/0/16, ge-2/0/17, ge-2/0/18, ge-2/0/19, ge-2/0/20, ge-2/0/21, ge-2/0/22, ge-2/0/23, ge-2/0/24, ge-2/0/25, ge-2/0/26, ge-2/0/27, ge-2/0/28, ge-2/0/29, ge-2/0/30, ge-2/0/31, ge-2/0/32, ge-2/0/33, ge-2/0/34, ge-2/0/35, ge-2/0/36, ge-2/0/37, ge-2/0/38, ge-2/0/39, ge-2/0/40, ge-2/0/41, ge-2/0/42, ge-2/0/43, ge-2/0/44, ge-2/0/45, ge-2/0/46, ge-2/0/47, ge-2/0/0.0, xe-0/0/0, xe-0/0/2, xe-0/0/0.0, xe-0/0/2.0, xe-0/0/1, xe-0/0/1.0, xe-0/0/3, xe-0/0/3.0, xe-1/0/0, xe-1/0/0.0, xe-1/0/1, xe-1/0/1.0, xe-1/0/2, xe-1/0/2.0, xe-1/0/3, xe-1/0/3.0, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , When I click on "Ports": I have a lot of "empty" rows at the end. I also added a trunk-interface ( ae0 ) with does not appear in the list. Is it possible the QFX/ex4300 is not yet recognised ? I also have a (Juniper) switch with almost 600 ports with almost the same problem. ( 10x EX4200 ) Is there a port-limit ?
