Disk i/o statistics
by Fabrice Charlier 12 May '14

12 May '14

Hi all, We are currently moving our observium server from an old community edition (0.13.10.4585) to a new powerful server running Professional edition (0.14.4.5391). On the new one, all disk i/o statistics for server devices don't appear in the web interface. After some research, I found that rrd files for disks i/o are not generated. For example, same server monitored by old instance: http://pastebin.com/gF7RA9bU and on new one: http://pastebin.com/Y9ePqyst Maybe I'm missing some new configuration option? Thanks, Fabrice

Add device failing
by Robert Williams 12 May '14

12 May '14

Hi, Just tried to add a new device (r5478) but it’s failing with no feedback, even at the command line. root@OBSERVIUM:/opt/observium # php add_device.php server.name.domain Observium v0.14.5.5478 Add Device(s) Try to add server.name.domain: Trying v2c community xyz ... root@OBSERVIUM:/opt/observium# It was ok a couple of days ago and I’m not sure how to try to diagnose this further as there is no feedback either at the command line or the web interface (which just says “Trying v2c community xyx …” the same as the command line does). To rule out a duff device I removed an existing working device and tried to re-add it. Fails with the same error also and I’m unable to re-add that device. Any pointers please? Cheers!

Calix E7-2 port disabling
by Crozier, Doug 11 May '14

11 May '14

I have 14 Calix E7-2 OLTs in this environment that I want to monitor. The first two I added to Observium(PE 5447) showed up with over 1000 ports each. I'd like to disable polling/alerting on all but a handful of ports on each of these devices. I used the "All" button on the device's Ports tab to get this done, but it only disables the first 333 ports. Same behavior on the second OLT. The remaining 900+ ports are all still enabled for polling. Manually selecting the slider for 50 or so of the remaining ports to disable them fails to take effect after clicking "Save". Is there a way to disable the remaining ports, then enable the few that I am interested in? Thanks Doug

dpkg agent oddness
by Robert Williams 10 May '14

10 May '14

Hi All, I’ve just added the dpkg agent script for the agent to a server, it already had other agents on it which are all working OK (apache, ntp etc.). Now, when I ./dpkg locally it gives the package list just fine. However, Observium shows the package list with some extra items at the top which read <blank> and “Fatal error:” [cid:image001.png@01CF6C41.93B4FDE0] Now on every poll (manual or scheduled) I also get the event log entry “System Arch -> Directive” [cid:image002.png@01CF6C41.F2135120] This dpkg script is working fine on all the other hosts I run it on, and everything else is working fine on this particular host apart from this element of the dpkg script. If I run the agent module in debug then I notice that at the end of the script I get: Fatal error: Directive 'allow_call_time_pass_reference' is no longer available in PHP in Unknown on line 0 Fatal error: Directive 'allow_call_time_pass_reference' is no longer available in PHP in Unknown on line 0 ) So I guess this is what is being interpreted by the poller as a ‘package’ and the ‘architecture’ of the system. However, I do not get this error when I run it locally, only when it’s run from Observium remotely. So - Any ideas or suggestions what to try next? Target host is Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (3.13.0-24-generic x86_64) and I have several others running 14.04 which are polling fine as far as I’m aware. Cheers!

Relative times not showing properly...
by Michael Loftis 09 May '14

09 May '14

I'm actually not certain when this started to happen as I've noticed it before, but it seemed like it was just in old events, but now, I've noticed that all relative times are getting computed incorrectly, they'll all show like "364 days, 17h 13m 3s" when you hover for an actual time (system event log particularly) the timestamps are right...it's something going wonk doing date math I'm guessing... 0.14.5.5458 - php 5.4.4 (just svn updated to make sure it wasn't fixed) not sure what else is relevant... -- "Genius might be described as a supreme capacity for getting its possessors into trouble of all kinds." -- Samuel Butler

weekly/monthly reporting tool?
by Joshua Elson 09 May '14

09 May '14

Hi all, I was wondering if there is any sort of reporting tool for Observium? We are looking to get a weekly and/or monthly break down of CPU and memory for all 100 or so of our servers. It has become tedious to go through each server one by one each time we need to gather all these details. As always, thanks in advance!

Add disk status to Buffalo Terastation
by Stefano Cordio 09 May '14

09 May '14

Hey guys, I'd like to implement an addition for my NAS box, a Buffalo Terastation. This NAS sends a daily report about the available space and the state of the disks. Observium already grabs details about the space, so I'd like to also add support to disk status/diagnostics (I already have the needed MIB files). The following is a MIB snippet: ------------------------------------------------------ nasDiskStatus OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX INTEGER { notSupport(-1), normal(1), array1(2), array2(3), standby(4), degrade(5), remove(6), standbyRemoved(7), degradeRemoved(8), removeRemoved(9) } MAX-ACCESS read-only STATUS current DESCRIPTION "The state of local disks. This value is read from 'diskx' line in file /etc/melco/diskinfo. notSupport(-1) indicates the disk slot is not exist. normal(1) indicates the disk is not part of RAID array. array1(2) indicates the disk is part of array1. array2(3) indicates the disk is part of array2. standby(4) indicates the disk is standby and power-off. degrade(5) indicates the disk has degraded and removed from array, and power-off. remove(6) indicates the disk has removed from array by user and power-off. standbyRemoved(7) indicates the disk is standby and removed from NAS. degradeRemoved(8) indicates the disk has degraded and removed from array and NAS. removeRemoved(9) indicates the disk has removed from array and NAS." ::= { nasDiskEntry 2 } ------------------------------------------------------ I'm not sure which is the best location in the device page for showing these informations. Could we consider these as a kind of sensor or is it something inventory-related? Actually I need a design advice. Would be really nice if you could also give me a pointer to a similar existing code. I strongly believe in learning by example :-) Thanks, Stefano

Selective Alerts?
by Hamilton, Kent 08 May '14

I'm new to Observium, and was playing with email alerting. Is there a way to selectively disable alerts? For example I'd like to disable over-under voltage alerts from systems.

L2tp not creating interfaces

Hi folks, wonderful product :):) I was just wondering if the L2tp section is in dev or is completed. I can't get it to work and as far as I have troubleshooted I can see that there are not any ports being picked up when my lns is scanned for this functionality to work. I haven't configured anything specific, it appears as you just snmp scan the device and it should pick the session tracking up for the l2tp tab. I can see everything else is working, am I missing something> Cheers, OJ

Strange temperature and voltage readings
by Matthew A Harper 02 May '14

02 May '14

Hi Guys, First time posting - Be gentle ;) I've recently implemented Observium for our department and am absolutely loving it. However after an update this morning I have noticed that some devices are reporting weird readings for their sensors. Temperature and voltage specifically are reporting absurd variables (2209 degrees CPU temp / 1.45KV on a 1.2V rail). http://i.imgur.com/MG5NBA8.png - Random sample of temperature http://i.imgur.com/u8Emr3J.png - Random sample of voltage This issue seems to affect CISCO hardware but does not seem to be specific to a particular model or software revision and has only occurred since the DB Schema was updated this morning. Is anyone else seeing similar results with version 5405? Oh and yes, I confirmed these devices are not on fire or being struck by lightning. :) Regards, Matt. *********************************************************************** WARNING: This email (including any attachments) may contain legally privileged, confidential or private information and may be protected by copyright.

2 things with alerting
by Bastiaan Topper 30 Apr '14

30 Apr '14

Hi, We have 2 strange things with the alerting system since a few days. - 1. The frontpage displays ports up/down, even when the alerting for that port is disabled in the device settings. Is this normal? Because this wasn't till a few days ago. [cid:image001.png@01CF5ED2.3C5BB560] [cid:image002.png@01CF5ED2.3C5BB560] - 2. Some alert checks worked fine for months, but now they fail. (I only have the database output, because the http://observium/alert_checks/ links returns a blank page, maybe because the result is too big?): [cid:image003.png@01CF5ED2.7A406F60] I attached the debug poll of one of the devices. The polling debug output returns: Checking alert 4 associated by 4 replaced @sensor_limit with 5.92 from entity. Testing: sensor_value greater 5.92 (value: 5.187) FAIL replaced @sensor_limit_low with 4.37 from entity. Testing: sensor_value less 4.37 (value: 5.187) OK Checks failed. Generate alert. What I expect (and what it did for the last months) this alert rule to do, is to fail when the sensor value is not between the threshold ranges. It looks like it is only for the voltage and current sensors. [cid:image004.png@01CF5ED4.23531980] When I check the settings and alerting thresholds, they look fine to me. [cid:image005.png@01CF5ED4.23531980] Am I doing something wrong? Or is this some kind of bug? Thanks and regards, Bastiaan Topper

The problem I was seeing (in the community edition at least) was that when ‘Show Legend’ was clicked on the Device Bits Graph page, the interface names would only have 10 characters as the image below shows: [cid:4474A50E-FFD7-439C-B557-8AB5663E872B@turnerhouse.local] With Cisco devices this renders the legend pretty useless as almost all the interfaces have FastEthernet/GigabitEthernet/TenGig etc. in front of the interface number. To fix this the file /html/includes/graphs/generic_multi_separated.inc.php needs to be modified. Lines 28 & 29 just need more space: $rrd_options .= " COMMENT:'$units_descr Cur Avg Max'"; if (!$nototal) { $rrd_options .= " COMMENT:' Total'"; } Line 81 will have the number 10 after the comma on rrdtool_escape: ($rrd['descr'], 10). This basically strips the interface to that length. In order for the interfaces on my 6500 to show nicely I changed this number to be 25: rrdtool_escape($rrd['descr'], 25). If you decide to go for a different number you should modify lines 28 & 29 too to make sure the ‘Cur, Avg, Max and Total’ headers are in line with the stats below. Then you just need to change for the ‘outbits' as well: substr(str_pad('', 25),0,25). The graph will/should then display like the below. Much more useful :) [cid:937DFBEE-EE5A-4F3E-8B38-AE6466900BE5@turnerhouse.local] An alternative would be to use ifName rather than ifDescr but I can’t be bothered to figure out how to do that.

Failover interface monitoring
by Gregoire Tourres 25 Apr '14

25 Apr '14

Hello Observium team I am monitoring different kind of devices (linux / windows / cisco) through my Observium. Everything work fine except for some Windows server 2012 network interfaces : the failover interfaces. Microsoft uses some kind of interface to supply a failover service (2 servers of the same kind speaks a special black protocol to monitor themself). >From the Windows Server, interfaces are "Microsoft failover cluster virtual adapter". >From Observium, they are seen as ethernet device and as tunnel device. Observium always seens some packet loss on these interfaces (however, there are no packet loss in the network, even with huge stress). So ... it keeps alerting for packet loss. You would say "turn monitoring or alerting off on these interfaces". Well .. that what I did : But I keep getting some alert in the eventlogs : The others real interfaces on the server work fine (good monitoring, no loss, no alerting). I am only having the problem on these kind of interfaces. Why does Observium always see packet loss on these interface ? Why does Observium do not stop alerting when I tell him to ? Thanks for answer! Greg

VM and Observium
by Luis Quintana 25 Apr '14

25 Apr '14

So, is anyone experiencing any issues running on observium on a vm? I submitted an email a month or two ago about some issues we were seeing, and i decided to reinstall observium from scratch. Currently i am seeing the same issues, whereby it "appears" that connectivity drops or isnt captured randomly. it's not across one device, but all. i am wondering if maybe i didnt build the vm appropriately or we really are having a network type issue. ive looked at the network but maybe i am overlooking something. anything on the vm side that maybe i can look at? i am running ubuntu 13.04 and the latest observium code as of yesterday.

Brocade MLXe and ICX support / question
by Swen Veckes (KDDI) 25 Apr '14

25 Apr '14

Hi, we use a couple of MLXe’s and ICX’s which seem fine at the first place running observium’s subscriber edition. However, a few part seems not working correctly: + MLXE’s - Memory shown as -1 on the device main page and has no graphs „nan“ at all - Memorypool usage graphs show -nan - Observium recognizes the installed Line card CPU but report 100% CPU on another machine adder 3 month earlier it reports OK - VLAN’s are reported fine, however, on the VLAN tab only untagged vlan1 (default vlan) has port associated with it, others are empt + ICX’s - CPU reported 100% all time, but same switch installed earlier shows fine - Compared to the MLXe it does not show LAG interfaces Any hints on the the graphing which works for one device but another added later does not as well for the memory? I Don’t hink that observium suddenly broke the support for this, as it is still working for the other devices (exactly the same device). What do I need to provide to help fixing the other things such as the LAG display for the ICX or others and to get more current Brocade device support? Cheers, Swen

Adding MIB after a device...
by Boardman, Nick 24 Apr '14

24 Apr '14

Good afternoon, I added an Eaton ePDU (sensor), and obviously it is showing up as Generic. I meant to upload the MIB prior but forgot. Any chance that after a few pollings it will auto-associate? If not, can it be linked manually? I looked under the Sensors Properties while attempting to edit the device but it looks like a no go. Or, since the MIB is now uploaded is it easier to delete the device and then manually re-add it? Thanks in advance any help you can offer.

Re: [Observium] Adding MIB after a device...

Hi Nick, All a MIB does is translate a numerical index into a text identifier (with some information about what the value contains).

Aggregate graphs for Peering Ports
by Tim Calvin 22 Apr '14

22 Apr '14

I was curious if there was a way to group together Peering ports in a way that it shows an aggregate graph similar to how Customer ports are handled. On the customer ports page, I can see an aggregate graph of all a particular customers circuits. It seems all I have to do here is make sure they are named the same. We have a few peering circuits to one entity and it would be nice to have that same behavior. I have them named the same but on the peering page the two circuits are shown individually with no aggregate totals. Just wondering if there was some type of configurable option to enable this or not. Let me know if I need to provide anymore info. Hopefully that makes sense. Thanks, Tim Calvin Texas Lone Star Network

Port 'Last Changed' visibility

Hi all, I can't seem to see this feature on the port details page or the 'all ports' list but forgive me if it is visible somewhere. It would be useful to have a 'last changed' time (30 mins ago) etc... on the port details page. This info can be gained from SNMP and from what I can see is already in the DB so it would just be a case of adding it to the page code. Thanks Jake

1 rogue host on map in the mid Atlantic
by Ryan Prihoda 17 Apr '14

17 Apr '14

Hey all, I recently updated to the new community edition and once everything was up again, I have 1 rogue host showing in the mid Atlantic on the map. None of my hosts use the override "syslocation" function. The number of devices in "All Locations" is equal to devices my syslocation. Here's the kicker, when I click on the rogue host, it takes me to my devices page for my syslocation. Is there anything I can do to figure out what device is causing this issue ? Thanks, R. Prihoda

IP address weirdness
by Sander Steffann 16 Apr '14

16 Apr '14

Hi, This morning at 6:30 the IPv4 addresses of my servers suddenly started changing. I see a lot of messages like: IPv4 changed: 83.247.10.20/27 -> 83.247.10.20/3 IPv4 changed: 83.247.10.21/27 -> 83.247.10.21/3 IPv4 changed: 83.247.10.22/27 -> 83.247.10.22/3 IPv4 changed: 94.142.242.194/29 -> 94.142.242.194/5 IPv4 changed: 94.142.242.195/29 -> 94.142.242.195/5 IPv4 changed: 94.142.242.213/29 -> 94.142.242.213/5 IPv4 changed: 94.142.242.214/28 -> 94.142.242.214/4 IPv4 changed: 94.142.242.215/28 -> 94.142.242.215/4 IPv4 removed: 127.0.0.1/8 Besides showing me that I have some misconfigured subnet masks in the 94.142.242.208/28 subnet, it also seems to have some consistency: - A /27 turns into a /3 - A /28 turns into a /4 - A /29 turns into a /5 My VMware ESXi machines also suddenly show: IPv4 added: 83.247.10.11/32 IPv4 added: 83.247.10.12/32 IPv4 added: 83.247.10.13/32 I also noticed some broadcast addresses being added: IPv4 added: 83.247.10.31/27 (this is an Ubuntu 14.04 server with 83.247.10.29/27) IPv4 added: 83.247.10.31/27 (this is is a CentOS 5.10 server with 83.247.10.7/27) IPv4 added: 83.247.10.47/28 (this is a vcenter applicance) IPv4 added: 83.247.10.47/28 (this is a Dell DRAC card) IPv4 added: 127.255.255.255/8 (this is a vcenter applicance) So, subnet sizes went weird on some systems, 127.0.0.1 disappeared from some systems, some ethernet adapters now show both the real IP address and the broadcast address on some systems. But different mixes of results across different platforms. Might this be related to r5317? Cheers, Sander

dot1dbaseportifindex on Cisco not listing UP interfaces?
by Ulrik Ivers 16 Apr '14

16 Apr '14

Hi, I see a strange behavior on our Cisco-switches (different models) when listing the interfaces via SNMP using the mib BRIDGE-MIB. When walking dot1dbaseportifindex it excludes interfaces that are UP. Only interfaces that are DOWN or DISABLED are returned. Is this something that is well known? Seems to me that is a bug in ios... It breaks neighbor discovery via LLDP (lldp-mib.inc.php). Examples: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alerting on high 'used' RAM, not counting 'cached'
by Robert Williams 15 Apr '14

15 Apr '14

Hi, Having my first experiment with the new alerting features - very nice! There is one thing I can’t seem to get quite right which is how to alert for Linux system when the ‘used’ RAM is greater than, say, 90% - which is best explained with an example of a device which looks like this: [cid:image001.png@01CF5826.67DDE2B0] Which shows that ‘used’ is 15.1GB (48%). However, for the purposes of alerting, if you use the mempool_perc gt 80 it alarms as being 98%. So I can’t specify ‘used’ as a pool because the only pools are “Swap Space”, “Virtual Memory”, “Physical Memory” etc. There isn’t one which is specifically the ‘used’ RAM element. So, is there a way around this or something I can tweak to get the desired result? Or what is everyone else doing to get alerting for linux boxes like this working for high RAM? Cheers guys!

Support for Huawei MA5600T GPON OLT
by Adam Wołk-Jankowski 14 Apr '14

14 Apr '14

Hello, I’m looking for NMS with support for full query and monitoring of MA5600T series Huawei GPON OLT, but with no luck. Huawei NMS – iManager U2000 costs huge amount of money and it not completely suit to my needs. We use Observium for few months with Cisco, Extreme Networks and D-Link devices and it seems to be ideal solution, but with MA5600T there works only basic things like traffic on Ethernet ports. I have full MIB library for this device but I’m not a programmer so cannot make support by myself. I have some devices in lab, so can share access and also would like to help if anyone with skills would like to work on this. -- Adam Jankowski a.jankowski(a)systel.pl

Device names on front page Google map?
by Ulrik Ivers 14 Apr '14

14 Apr '14

Hi, I'm new to Observium, so please be tolerant if I ask a stupid question. On the Google map on the front page - is it possible to have the device names displayed? Either "always" or when hovering on the green place marker. Now when I hover I get a label stating "1 hosts", "2 hosts" etc depending on the number of devices that have identical location. I've looked through the documentation and searched old discussion archives but haven't been able to find anything regarding this. Regards, /Ulrik Ivers

device status boxes on the front page show disabled devices
by Henrik Lund Kramshøj 14 Apr '14

14 Apr '14

Hi We have a problem with the front page, the red alert boxes are shown for devices that are disabled. We use the config.php $config['frontpage']['order'] = array('status_summary', 'device_status_boxes', 'device_status', 'overall_traffic' ); and I guess its the device_status_boxes is the one. Did something change, or do we need to change something? Devices shown (some of them) has check mark in: "Disable Disables polling and discovery. Device ignore Device ignore. " So they shouldnt show up, didnt sometime before - but unknown when they stopped working correctly.

How best to tell Observium that VMware is no longer unix [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

It would be nice if there was another column next to "Operating System" for Network devices that had the latest reported IOS from Cisco/Dell. That way one could easily see which devices need to be upgraded to the latest IOS to ensure that security and bug fixes are addressed.

It seems like every time there's a major upgrade with a sql script, my front page graphs go completely apeshit.

Hi All, Does anyone have a Trapeze/Juniper wireless controller they'd be willing to give us SNMP read access to so we can add support for it? (similarly for other wireless controllers, but initially we're looking for Trapeze/Juniper :) Thanks, adam.

Turning off some alerts
by Luca Salvatore 10 Apr '14

10 Apr '14

Hi Been running observium for a while but with alerting turned off. I turned it on recently and got spammed with so many alerts I had to turn it off again. I can't really find how I can tune the alert setting anywhere. Can this be done via the web or do I need to go to the config files? I'm on version 0.13.9.4493, basically i only want alerts for specific things, not every single event. If i go to the alerts section there is no option to configure any thing, there is no 'add alert' button as described in this link http://www.observium.org/wiki/Creating_an_Alert_Checker Is the alerting functions only available in the current version? thanks

LDAPS Authentication
by Ellery Weber 10 Apr '14

Hey guys, I'm trying to get LDAP (through AD) authentication setup on the subscription version of Observium, and am running into some difficulties. My first question - does Observium only do a simple bind, or can it connect using SASL? We do not currently allow simple binds in our domain.

rancid multiple config/diff versions within observium
by Chip Pleasants 09 Apr '14

09 Apr '14

I have rancid working today within Observium, although I do not see multiple version ro config/diffs of the configurations like saw some time ago. I did migrate servers therefore its possible a configuration or permissions issue on the new server. On my previous server a couple months ago I was able to look at past diffs within observium. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks, Chip

It would be really nice if there was a way to export the Inventory to a CSV. This would greatly help with renewing maintenance and SmartNet Contracts for Cisco Devices.

Multiple Pollers Guidance
by Chip Pleasants 09 Apr '14

09 Apr '14

When there are multiple pollers via NFS how do they pick the devices to poll? Basically how to they not step all over each other polling the same nodes? I'm seeing snmp and ping alerts like 15 or so every hour come in that didn't come in when it was a single server solution. It does seem to be the same 20 or so devices. These particular devices do typically take around 60 sec to poll. Looking at devices that generated alerts their cpu, snmp response time, and ping time was all over the place. Meaning cpu doubled (10% to 20%), ping times went up to 200ms from 10ms, and snmp response time average when from 50ms to 556ms. I'm wondering if I was polling these devices multiple times within 5 minutes? Would this be related to NFS IO issues? I reverted back to a single solution for now. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. -Chip Config Sniplet $config['alerts']['email']['enable'] = TRUE; $config['poller-wrapper']['alerter'] = TRUE; $config['snmp']['timeout'] = 6; $config['snmp']['retries'] = 3; $config['snmp']['max-rep'] = 10; $config['fping'] = "/usr/sbin/fping -t2000";

Calculating availability
by Tom Henderson 08 Apr '14

Good morning list. Does anyone know if Observium is able to show the total uptime (or downtime) between two points in time? Is this be something the billing module can handle?

Ubiquiti AirOS MIB

UBNT has finally released their officially supported MIB's in their most recent release. I know a few folks are lurking on this list that would love to see those MIB's officially supported and a few of us more than happy to pay for said support in Observium. Todd/Adam/Mike, an interest in taking this on as a sponsored improvement? I can send you the MIB privately if you'd like a sneak peek.

Remote SysLogging
by Marco Spicuglia 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

Hello there, it seems that I have some issues with remote syslogging. Some network devices work well, some others don't. The problem seems to be related to the Observium host, I think, as running syslog-ng -Fevd on my observium server, shows that log entries are coming in also from the devices that do not have any log entry in the GUI. It seems that syslog-ng gets the log entries, but they do not get properly passed to Observium, for some reason, at least for some devices. Therefore, those entries do not show up in the mysql database and thus neither in the GUI. I had this problem also on two other Observium hosts I have tried, but only since an upgrade I performed around October 2013. Before it was working fine for all those devices. Anything I can check/do for fixing this? Thanks in advance for your help. Best regards, Marco Met vriendelijke groet/ Kind regards, Marco Spicuglia Network engineer - Programmer ReasonNet B.V.

Recalculate history usage data
by Jimmy Samuel García Hynds 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

Hello, >From time to time I have this huge spikes in the traffic bills that are abnormal, in those cases I just change those values to 0 in the database, I replace them in the bill_data table, and the charts return to normal, I do not mind losing 10 or 20 minutes of readings. This is my question, Is there a way to recalculate the historical data? That data is updated even if I delete the date in the bill_data table, and I do not want to screw up my installation.
