[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
by Ryan, Spencer J. 19 Jul '14

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
by David Lagace 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

Hello, I've run into a problem where the discovery cron seems to error out. I noticed this in checking the polling times where it was at almost 3 days. I ran discovery.php -h all manually from the shell and noticed it would error out to prompt when scanning the same switch everytime. When I put the device causing the issue in ignore it would go through untill it hit another device that errrored it out. If I run it on the host only it also seems to error out: <SNIP> ./discovery.php -h mksc-dob-lab-sw1 Observium v0.14.7.5654 Discovery Current Revision : 5654 New Revision : 5659 mksc-dob-lab-sw1 433 ios (cisco) OLD: ios, NEW: ios --- Ports : ...........................................................

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.

Does anyone else have a three phase ups. I was wanting to know if it is using the UPS-MIB and that you've done something to get all three phases shown as graphs ? I've done a debug on the discovery and it is clear that all phases are returned by the bulkwalk statements. so far i've created ./html/images/os/emerson.png and ./includes/polling/os/emerson.inc.php and added to my config.php the following: $os = "emerson"; $config['os'][$os]['text'] = "Emerson UPS"; $config['os'][$os]['type'] = "power"; $config['os'][$os]['over'][0]['graph'] = "device_voltage"; $config['os'][$os]['over'][0]['text'] = "Voltage"; $config['os'][$os]['over'][1]['graph'] = "device_current"; $config['os'][$os]['over'][1]['text'] = "Current"; $config['os'][$os]['over'][2]['graph'] = "device_frequency"; $config['os'][$os]['over'][2]['text'] = "Frequency"; $config['os'][$os]['sysObjectID'][] = ".1.3.6.1.2.1.33"; $config['os'][$os]['mibs'][] = "UPS-MIB"; root@dc3monitor2:/opt/observium# snmpwalk dc6ups01 -v2c -c xxxxx -M /opt/observium/mibs -m UPS-MIB upsMIB UPS-MIB::upsIdentManufacturer.0 = STRING: Chloride UPS-MIB::upsIdentModel.0 = STRING: 80Net UPS-MIB::upsIdentUPSSoftwareVersion.0 = STRING: 10h01517 V4.00.100312 (5135) / 10h01531 V1.10.100326,10h01530 V UPS-MIB::upsIdentAgentSoftwareVersion.0 = STRING: 3.15.3397 UPS-MIB::upsIdentName.0 = STRING: dc6ups01 UPS-MIB::upsIdentAttachedDevices.0 = STRING: none UPS-MIB::upsBatteryStatus.0 = INTEGER: batteryNormal(2) UPS-MIB::upsSecondsOnBattery.0 = INTEGER: 0 seconds UPS-MIB::upsEstimatedMinutesRemaining.0 = INTEGER: 164 minutes UPS-MIB::upsEstimatedChargeRemaining.0 = INTEGER: 100 percent UPS-MIB::upsBatteryVoltage.0 = INTEGER: 5440 0.1 Volt DC UPS-MIB::upsBatteryCurrent.0 = INTEGER: 2 0.1 Amp DC UPS-MIB::upsBatteryTemperature.0 = INTEGER: 19 degrees Centigrade UPS-MIB::upsInputLineBads.0 = Counter32: 56 UPS-MIB::upsInputNumLines.0 = INTEGER: 3 UPS-MIB::upsInputFrequency.1 = INTEGER: 499 0.1 Hertz UPS-MIB::upsInputFrequency.2 = INTEGER: 499 0.1 Hertz UPS-MIB::upsInputFrequency.3 = INTEGER: 499 0.1 Hertz UPS-MIB::upsInputVoltage.1 = INTEGER: 245 RMS Volts UPS-MIB::upsInputVoltage.2 = INTEGER: 245 RMS Volts UPS-MIB::upsInputVoltage.3 = INTEGER: 243 RMS Volts UPS-MIB::upsInputCurrent.1 = INTEGER: 30 0.1 RMS Amp UPS-MIB::upsInputCurrent.2 = INTEGER: 30 0.1 RMS Amp UPS-MIB::upsInputCurrent.3 = INTEGER: 31 0.1 RMS Amp UPS-MIB::upsInputTruePower.1 = INTEGER: 7500 Watts UPS-MIB::upsInputTruePower.2 = INTEGER: 7500 Watts UPS-MIB::upsInputTruePower.3 = INTEGER: 7700 Watts UPS-MIB::upsOutputSource.0 = INTEGER: normal(3) UPS-MIB::upsOutputFrequency.0 = INTEGER: 499 0.1 Hertz UPS-MIB::upsOutputNumLines.0 = INTEGER: 3 UPS-MIB::upsOutputVoltage.1 = INTEGER: 241 RMS Volts UPS-MIB::upsOutputVoltage.2 = INTEGER: 239 RMS Volts UPS-MIB::upsOutputVoltage.3 = INTEGER: 239 RMS Volts UPS-MIB::upsOutputCurrent.1 = INTEGER: 384 0.1 RMS Amp UPS-MIB::upsOutputCurrent.2 = INTEGER: 288 0.1 RMS Amp UPS-MIB::upsOutputCurrent.3 = INTEGER: 328 0.1 RMS Amp UPS-MIB::upsOutputPower.1 = INTEGER: 7900 Watts UPS-MIB::upsOutputPower.2 = INTEGER: 6200 Watts UPS-MIB::upsOutputPower.3 = INTEGER: 7200 Watts UPS-MIB::upsOutputPercentLoad.1 = INTEGER: 27 percent UPS-MIB::upsOutputPercentLoad.2 = INTEGER: 20 percent UPS-MIB::upsOutputPercentLoad.3 = INTEGER: 23 percent UPS-MIB::upsAlarmsPresent.0 = Gauge32: 0 UPS-MIB::upsTestId.0 = OID: UPS-MIB::upsTestNoTestsInitiated UPS-MIB::upsTestSpinLock.0 = INTEGER: 53 UPS-MIB::upsTestResultsSummary.0 = INTEGER: 1082939236 UPS-MIB::upsTestResultsDetail.0 = STRING: UPS-MIB::upsTestStartTime.0 = Timeticks: (0) 0:00:00.00 UPS-MIB::upsTestElapsedTime.0 = Wrong Type (should be INTEGER): Timeticks: (654440200) 75 days, 17:53:22.00 UPS-MIB::upsShutdownType.0 = INTEGER: 0 UPS-MIB::upsShutdownAfterDelay.0 = INTEGER: 0 seconds UPS-MIB::upsStartupAfterDelay.0 = INTEGER: 0 seconds UPS-MIB::upsRebootWithDuration.0 = INTEGER: 0 seconds UPS-MIB::upsAutoRestart.0 = INTEGER: 0 UPS-MIB::upsConfigInputVoltage.0 = INTEGER: 240 RMS Volts UPS-MIB::upsConfigInputFreq.0 = INTEGER: 500 0.1 Hertz UPS-MIB::upsConfigOutputVoltage.0 = INTEGER: 240 RMS Volts UPS-MIB::upsConfigOutputFreq.0 = INTEGER: 500 0.1 Hertz UPS-MIB::upsConfigOutputVA.0 = INTEGER: 99900 Volt-Amps UPS-MIB::upsConfigOutputPower.0 = INTEGER: 90000 Watts UPS-MIB::upsConfigLowBattTime.0 = INTEGER: 0 minutes UPS-MIB::upsConfigAudibleStatus.0 = INTEGER: 0 UPS-MIB::upsConfigLowVoltageTransferPoint.0 = INTEGER: 168 RMS Volts UPS-MIB::upsConfigHighVoltageTransferPoint.0 = INTEGER: 274 RMS Volts thanks Peter Hine Senior Technical Support Engineer (Servers) FCoA ITS peter.hine(a)familycourt.gov.au ********************************************************************** The information contained in this e-mail (including any attachments) is for the exclusive use of the addressee.

More Documentation on Alert Checkers?
by Benoit Lambert 10 Jul '14

10 Jul '14

Hi, Is there more documentation on how to setup alert checkers? Maybe there's a list of entities that I can pick from? I wanted to set something up along the lines of: Name: CPU Temp Over 65 Tests (Checker Condition): entSensorValue isBigger 65 Device match (Device Association): type equals network Hostname match *t* (any device with an "n" in it ?) Hostname match *new* (any device with "new" string in it?) Entity Association: entSensorType equals Celsius (monitor temperature?) Not sure how to set that up, Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Graphs not drawing after latest update
by Mahomed Hussein 08 Jul '14

08 Jul '14

Hi I wonder if someone can help point me in the right direction as to how I can fix an issue with graphs not drawing. We updated to 0.14.6.5588 this morning and I’ve noticed that some graphs are not drawing. We haven’t had any issues with the server and it has been up for 49 days. I’m not sure where to start. So far I’ve tried another SVN update (in case there was a quick fix) and rebooted the server (out of desperation/hope more than anything else). Please let me know if you require any other info. Thanks in advance for any assistance. A couple of screenshots are below.

health/overview page is there a way to change what is presented?
by Steve Costaras 05 Jul '14

05 Jul '14

I am using observium community edition to monitor a couple systems. Noticed a couple items that seem to make some of the graphs not too useful. The health / Overview section for file systems is the first. It shows file systems with no problem, however it's graphing the file systems based on their percentage used NOT their used byte size. I don't know how others are using this, but here we grow file systems frequently which this produces graphs like the attached. Is there a way to either change what metric is graphed (bytes/ not percentage) or have a another overview graph of file systems with capacity used. This gets much more important with ZFS when you add new vdev's or expand them as like the graph will expand all filesystems on that pool which doesn't seem to be too useful and there can be hundreds. Another question on the same page is the operations/second graphs. This is displaying data twice or more when you are using device mapper you see both the sd* devices as well as the dm-* devices. This is very bad when you're talking about 100's of physical drives (seeing 200 or more depending on how you have it set up with partitions devices). Is there a way to filter out dm-* devices so only sd* ones are calculated/graphed? Steve

I can see reference to it in the 'Delete Devices' page with the caption [disabled] next to it but not anywhere else. Just wondering where or how I can re-enable this host.

Custom "alias" for port
by Ibrahim Tachijian 02 Jul '14

Is there no way to set a custom alias for a given port? I want to set the name to "Peering: XXXX" so that it matches the peering type. The reason is because my ex2500 juniper is not properly sending the "name" of the port via snmp thats configured in the switch. Additionally the EX2500 switch (juniper) is shown as Generic. -- Ibrahim Tachijian Net Sat AB

There are no undocumented metrics. You have to request them. :) You can't check a service inside a vserver, as the entities don't work that way. You can, however, check the status of a service independently. Adam. Martin Smith wrote:

syslog -> cleaning the database...
by Xavier Beaudouin 30 Jun '14

Hi There, Looking after a reason why I got soooooo long time to see some firewall I saw that despite the // Syslog stuff $config['enable_syslog'] = 1; $config['syslog_age'] = "1 month"; On configuration, the old syslog informations are not deleted. I created a small php script to clean that (using crontab), do you like to have this contrib ? (It is somewhat easy, but if you don't have time to make that, then, I will be pleased to create a jira with this file). /Xavier

Odd issue with Syslog collection
by Anthony Mattke 27 Jun '14

27 Jun '14

On a recent install of observium, I’ve noticed some oddities with Syslog collection… Some devices are being collected just fine, but others are not. In the example screenshot included below, my firewall ***10, and one switch ***04 are both being collected just fine. But the switches 75***** and *****50 are not. http://i.imgur.com/nxupFzJ.png One thing I noticed was that someone had turned on “service sequence-numbers” on the ****04 switch. (The ASA has no such feature that I know of.. ) When I disabled this service, the collection stopped working on that device! Example here…http://i.imgur.com/HViWcTk.png Thoughts? Thanks!! -Tony

ios-xr etc syslog
by Rob VanHooren 26 Jun '14

to make it go away, could try getting rid of the "service log sequence numbers" (or whatever exact syntax it is) in the device's ios config if you don't need the sequence numbering for audit, that's easier than trying to hack in a new syslog-ng.conf template. luck, R.

Syslog parsing: Issue from IOS XR devices
by Senses0 26 Jun '14

26 Jun '14

Hi, I have few devices running Cisco IOS XR. I am sending syslog messages from all devices to Observium. Everything is fine except for the log messages sent by routers running IOS XR. Instead of log Program name, messages sent by XR devices contain an incrementing sequence number, which is being parsed as log Program (Incrementing sequence number being parsed as syslog program = bad. real bad). The actual program name appears much later within the message. I have gone through the sylog configuration guide for XR routers. Couldnt find anything that would alter the message format of what is being sent. I also configured "logging facility syslog" in XR devices, but that didnt resolve the issue. To better explain my situation, I have attached a screenshot. Hopefully it would help. Oh and I am subscriber :) Thanks, Senn

is the nexus' L3 in the global (default) vrf? if *not* then it won't (easily?) work until cisco fixes the (being kind here) "oddball way" that mib exposure happens on the nxos platform. a workaround could be to map out things with snmp contexts that tie in a string per vrf ... but imo that doesn't scale effectively. join the party: go beat up TAC and your sales rep. for how stupid their implementation -- of something pretty fundamental -- is. luck, R.

NXOS vrfs == OID grief

it seems vrfs aren't discovered, since the OIDs are not found. this leads to all sorts of unhappiness, since with no ipaddr (mgmt vrf) winds up with no syslog, no routing, no nothing except L2 info. who can I send the walk to?

Timeout: No Response from xxxx
by George 24 Jun '14

24 Jun '14

Hi, I have latest observium installed and running on a Ubuntu 12.04.4 server and am trying to add another same Ubuntu server to the observium server. I've set up snmpd on the target host. When I run the snmpstatus command from the observium server I get a Timeour: No Response. I've installed the mibs and everything else according to the docs. I can see in the syslog of the target host that the observium server hits it. I can run successfully snmpstatus on the target host and query itself. I can run snmpstatus successfully from another CentOS server. It works from everywhere except the observium server. There are no firewalls involved. Am I doing anything wrong? What info can I send you to help me debug it. Please help Thanks

Syslog from NX-OS device
by Ole Hansen 24 Jun '14

24 Jun '14

Hi, I'm trying to get syslog (using syslog-ng) from some NX-OS devices into Observium, but so far no luck. I'm using the following syslog-ng configuration template t_observium { template ("$HOST||$FACILITY||$PRIORITY||$LEVEL||$TAG||$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY $HOUR:$MIN:$SEC||$MSG||$PROGRAM\n"); template-escape(yes); }; destination d_observium { program("/opt/observium/syslog.php" template (t_observium)); }; Works fine for IOS-devices The output that would be sent to syslog.php i can see by adding: destination d_foo { file("/tmp/foo.log" template(t_observium)); }; and the following output is in my file: 10.10.10.10||local7||info||info||be||2014-06-24 16:43:08||Jun 24 14:43:07: %SEC-6-IPACCESSLOGP: list flow denied udp 192.168.10.10(137) -> 192.168.11.10(137), 5 packets ||147696 10.10.10.11||local7||notice||notice||bd||2014-06-24 16:43:16||2014 Jun 24 16:43:16.724 CEST: %SYSMGR-5-CFGWRITE_STARTED: Configuration copy started (PID 2143).|| any ideas?

HP-Switch: device traffic graphs of new modules
by Wiethoff, Helge 24 Jun '14

24 Jun '14

Hi all, I have a problem with the "Device Traffic"-Graph in Observium (r5581) since I inserted two modules 22Ports (J9536A) into the backplane of a HP 5406zl. It is not plotted anymore as you can see in the attached device-traffic.png. The Error-Message from RRDTool is: RRDTool Output: ERROR: mmaping file '/srv/observium/rrd/x-fra01.tfhbo.de/port-97.rrd': Invalid argument. The file port-97.rrd is empty, but observium added the Ports yesterday. Eventlog: 23-06-2014 18:37:13 Inventory Inventory added: class port, name Port F22, index 217 .... and so on. Maybe it is just a side-effect: All of the other new Ports, are not plotted, too. Any suggestions? (Except buying a "real" switch... ;-)) Bye, Helge ________________________________ Helge Wiethoff Medienzentrum Telefon: +49 (234) 968 8717 Fax: +49 (234) 968 3453 E-Mail: Wiethoff(a)tfh-bochum.de Technische Fachhochschule Georg Agricola für Rohstoff, Energie und Umwelt zu Bochum Staatlich anerkannte Fachhochschule der DMT-Gesellschaft für Lehre und Bildung mbH Herner Straße 45 44787 Bochum http://www.tfh-bochum.de ________________________________ Träger: DMT-Gesellschaft für Lehre und Bildung mbH Sitz der Gesellschaft: Bochum Registergericht: Amtsgericht Bochum Handelsregister: B 4052 Geschäftsführung: Prof. Dr. Jürgen Kretschmann (Vorsitzender) Manfred Freitag

What you can do to get the optical levels for 1G interfaces (or 10G interfaces on older FPCs in the M/T) is extend the Juniper MIB and run the commands in Junos using a script. I tried doing this some time ago, just never got it finished. Regards, Rutger

Hello, I wonder if it’s complicated / possible to add in the inventory list the optics count / type / serial … Some time, it’s easier to just ask the noc to look at this webpage and check if it’s a MM/ SM optic and/or the correct lambda for wdm optics. May be a dedicated page / second expand ? ( running latest updated version ) Raphael

Disable Device Alerting
by Travis Kreikemeier 21 Jun '14

21 Jun '14

I have the new alerting in Observium setup for many events, including device down. However, over some of our wireless links I am getting false positives, so I turned up the ping retries to 3 times. Still happening, so I set the device down delay to 2. That has helped, however I am still getting the old school device alerting system emails. How can I disable those? I have port utilization disabled ($config['alerts']['port_util_alert']), etc. But I can't find anything in any docs or searches for disabling device down alerting in the old alerting system. Any help is appreciated, thanks! TRAVIS KREIKEMEIER

LDAP authentication and user id mapping (user sees no devices)
by Branzko, Matthias 20 Jun '14

20 Jun '14

Hello all, in the moment I try to switch from mysql to LDAP authentication (AD). The LDAP connection seems to work. I can logon to observium using my LDAP credentials. But the user mapping to permissions does not work. In observium the user sees no devices. The mapping is set as follows: $config['auth_ldap_groups']['Observium_Admin']['level'] = 10; $config['auth_ldap_groups']['Observium_User']['level'] = 1; In Wireshark I could see that the right group (Observium_Admin) was matched. Debug shows something like: SELECT * FROM `entity_permissions` WHERE `user_id` = '-1' SELECT `value` FROM `users_prefs` WHERE `user_id` = '-1' AND `pref` = 'atom_key' What to try next? Thanks, Matthias

SysobjectID for AIX
by Teixeira, Mike 20 Jun '14

20 Jun '14

Hello, I compiled net-snmp for AIX on my two AIX 5.3 servers. Since doing so the sysobjectid now returns net-snmp.aix rather than one that designates for AIX. I can set the sysobjectid in the snmp.conf. I have been looking for what to set that to so observium knows that it is an AIX server rather than a generic server. Does anyone have the oid that reflects AIX for sysobjectid? Thanks, Mike

No VRFs being discovered on Cisco 3750 Stacks
by Matthew A Harper 19 Jun '14

19 Jun '14

Hi Guys, Recently I've started monitoring some of our edge routers using Observium and have found that VRFs don't appear to get found during discovery. I found an old post from last year where Adam advised that VRF tracking in Observium is currently considered "broken and unstable". (http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.observium.general/3159). Here is a snip from a discovery of one of our edge devices running a handful of VRFs: dot1d id ifIndex Port Name Priority State Cost 504 5003 Port-channel3 128 forwarding 3 Cisco Pseudowires : VRFs : SLAs : UCD Disk IO : Discovered in 6.686 seconds I'm guessing this may be a lower priority to devs at the moment but it is something we'd be requiring before we can fully move away from our other unnamed/expensive monitoring solution as we need to enable alerting for BGP instances bound to specific VRFs. If this is still an ongoing issue is this perhaps something we could offer the devs financial incentive in the form of donations to bump the priority a bit? Alternatively if this has since been patched am I doing something wrong? I have the following enabled in my global config (and confirmed on the devices under modules): $config['enable_vrfs'] = 1; cisco-vrf enabled enabled Kind regards, Matt Harper Network Analyst | ICT Operations Information Technology Branch | Department of Transport and Main Roads Floor 4 | Transport House | 230 Brunswick Street | Fortitude Valley Qld 4006 PO Box 673 | Fortitude Valley Qld 4006 P: (07) 30661125 | F: (07) 30662044 E: matthew.a.harper(a)tmr.qld.gov.au<mailto:matthew.a.harper@tmr.qld.gov.au> W: www.tmr.qld.gov.au<http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/> *********************************************************************** WARNING: This email (including any attachments) may contain legally privileged, confidential or private information and may be protected by copyright.

We're turning each sensor type into its own entity type, so you can now create "Humidity" sensors : http://alpha.memetic.org/~adama/snaps/14-06-16-f2h10.53.png People using alerting, is this as useful as I think it is?

ppp0 and tun0 shown as down
by Pieter De Wit 17 Jun '14

17 Jun '14

Hi List, We currently monitor some dd-wrt devices. Observium is showing tun0 and ppp0 as down. I am guessing this is due to the interface speed set to 0. Is there a way to bypass this check ? It does look a bit weird to have a down interface with traffic on it. We are currently running the community ed. Changing to pro soon. Thanks, Pieter

Re: [Observium] Observium] Alerting/Entity type changes

Yeah, you are confused. Humidity is an example. Rather than alerts being created for 'sensors' they can now be created for 'temperature' or other sensor types directly. Also, humidity is important in a data centre environment, and is monitored by a lot of environmental monitoring systems along with temperature. Adam.

Hey, I noticed an Observium server had the wrong timezone. I set it to the correct tz, but now all my graphs for all my devices are not updating anymore (blank from the time I switched the tz). Polling and Discovery are fine. How to fix the issue? Thanks -- Frank

Smokeping, Rancid and Observium
by Teixeira, Mike 13 Jun '14

13 Jun '14

Yeah you are hijacking a thread, but whatever. I'll change the subject line and start a new thread :) I have rancid and websvn running on the same box. That box is separate from observium. I did this because I wanted rancid to run on a vm. Having it on a VM gives me somewhat of redundancy. Depending on the number of threads and number of devices you give rancid, it could interfere with observium. The server that runs observium comes into play as well. The more devices and more ports you have, the more threads you need. Observium is much more important to me than rancid; however, rancid is really important. That is another reason why I separated them. Then I have an NFS mount between rancid and observium so it can see rancid. I don't have a history of configurations in observium. I am not sure how that works. That's where websvn excels. With websvn the network guys can see what changed between revisions. So with websvn, I didn't spend much time on setting up history of configuration changes in observium. I haven't setup smokeping. The network guys always tell me they don't care about icmp testing to determine latency. Mainly because some routers/switches, that participate in QoS, will make icmp lowest priority and put the router traffic, voice traffic, and sometimes video traffic (depending on the device) higher priority. The part that I love though is when I am working with them to troubleshoot a network problem, they want a trace route. I always say to them well I thought you didn't care about icmp and trace route uses icmp. :) Inside observium in the graph section of the device in the subsection of poller, it shows icmp response. I think that is enough for me and the network guys.

I have Observium and rancid running fine but want to add SmokPing and WebSVN. I don't want to create a mess running too many services running on one server. Looking for feedback on best practices/success vs. failure stories. Apologies in advance if this reply is off topic or hijacking the thread.

Rancid can't get CVS working
by Benoit Lambert 13 Jun '14

13 Jun '14

I have a working installation of rancid and I can see the current configuration of my devices. Question: How do I view the old configurations (previous versions). I noticed when I view the config it says "Latest"....I'm assuming I can set it up to view old configs. Just don't know how.

Overview of VLANs
by Steffen Klemer 13 Jun '14

13 Jun '14

Hey everybody, in nedi there is a nice feature where I can see all devices (and ports) with a specific vlan on a map. Is there any similar feature in observium which I just missed to find? Would it be possible to extend the search on the ports-page to also specify VLANs? Would you accept external patches for stuff like this? I also wrote a small extension for querying the number of active connections on a FWSM (and possibly ASA). Is there interest to get this upstream? lg /Steffen -- Steffen Klemer E-Mail: Steffen.Klemer(a)gwdg.de Tel: +49 551 39 172361 __________________________________________________________________ GWDG Am Fassberg 11, 37077 Göttingen URL: http://www.gwdg.de E-Mail: gwdg(a)gwdg.de Tel.: +49 (0)551 201-1510 Fax: +49 (0)551 201-2150 Geschäftsführer: Prof. Dr. Ramin Yahyapour Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Dipl.-Kfm.
