VPS root devices in snmpd.conf
by Shaun Bradley 22 Jul '13

22 Jul '13

Hi Guys, me again I've googled for this but not found anything much, and I know it's not entirely observium-related but is there any way of specifying a different root device in snmpd.conf? I have a few VPS hosted systems and the root devices are different, some are /dev/simfs, others are /dev/xvda1 etc. Obviously this just produces a broken graph in observium so I'm wondering if there is a way of setting it and then having it picked up. Many thanks for any pointers. Shaun

Oh. You were being confusing by talking about 'root device'. You mean the SNMP agent isn't reporting any file systems? Probably some permissions bullshit related to the virtualization platform. You don't need to mess with the netsnmp config at all really. Adam.

SNMPv3-Only Discovery/Polling
by Daniel Preussker 19 Jul '13

19 Jul '13

Hi, I recently set up another host. This time using SNMPv3. addhost.php worked fine and both Auth and Priv passed. discovery.php can't discover the host. poller.php can't poll the host. via snmpget I get responces to sysUpTime.0 but not to .1, .0, ... The snmpd.conf should grand the user full Readonly rights as I didn't specify any SubID to the user. Is this known? Is there a way around? Is there any example of a working snmpv3-only setup?

Collectd minigraphs on front page
by Frank Ortmann 18 Jul '13

18 Jul '13

Hello We make fairly heavy use of the collectd capabilities of Observium. It really is a great feature for us. I have been investigating adding mini graphs to the front page. The guide helped me add graphs from SNMP-gathered data, but I was unable to add graphs from our collectd list. The current implementation requires an ID and a TYPE. Unfortunately, the collectd chart dos not contain these keys (see below). <IP>/graphs/type=device_collectd/device=15/c_plugin=<FOLDER_NAME>/c_type=counter/c_type_instance=<COUNTER_NAME>/to=1374136448/from=1374050048/ Has anyone been able to do this? Is it possible? Kind regards, Frank

Support for SNMP Informant on Windows?

I was very happy to donate to the kickstarter project as well. We have a wide variety of platforms that we monitor including Windows but the default Windows SNMP stack leaves a lot to be desired. I've used SNMP Informant in the past and was wondering if Observium does or will support this product. Thanks, Jared

Hello, I don't know if this was already discussedso far, but I wanted to proposea more efficient way of displaying popupsinstead of mouseover (ref: $config['web_mouseover']). Popups should be displayed in a jquery modal style when someone clicksan object likean interface or device, etc. In that way the popup would be displayed properly on the center of the screen and not in the right-bottomof the mouse's position.Well, it would be a nice featureto have the posibility to switch between this two behaviourson mouseover or modal.

Bulk Addition of Hosts?
by David Lagace 08 Jul '13

Hello, I'm new to Observium and coming from Zenoss I have to say I love the simplicity and completeness of all the information available. I'm just stuck on one issue. I've added the hosts I want to monitor to the /etc/hosts file and have successfully added a few hosts manually. I've been reading through the wiki and looking through google and can't seem to find a way to bulk import hosts. I tried to script it in the following way (please don't hurt me I'm not much of a coder) for file in `cat routerdt1`; do ./addhost.php "$file" mycomm v2c; done But keep getting: Could not resolve i504562 i504562 being one of the hosts in the list routerdt1. If I run the addhost.php script manually it works. ./addhost.php i504562 mycomm v2c Trying community mycomm ... Discovering i545973 (42)i545973 42 ios (cisco) (etc etc) The file routerdt1 is in the format: I553476 I553500 I553364 I553173 I553274 I542788 I554040 I554398 I554488 Is there a way to take my list and add them into Observium?

[ip_nets] => Array

Hello, i recently installed observium and it is amazing. There is one thing i found under "Global Settings". [autodiscovery] => Array ( ... [ip_nets] => Array ( [0] => 127.0.0.0/8 [1] => 192.168.0.0/16 [2] => 10.0.0.0/8 [3] => 172.0.0.0/8 ) Shouldn't the Entry "172.0.0.0/8" be "172.16.0.0/12" ? I know that the question " Can the monitoringintervall be changed, e.g. 5 min to 1 min" was already answered and the answer was "No". I just wanted to note that this is really sad, because 5 min is quite long for a fast changing parameter like Ethernet. We were monitoring a Gigabit-link with different intervalls ( cacti ) , with 5 min, 1 min and 10 sec The results are really surprising. For a special intervall of 40 min with Peaks the result was with 5min-monitoring 200 Mbit/s 1min-monitoring 350 Mbit/s 10sec-monitoring 610 Mbit/s -- Jordan Paschalidis *** XCOM AG Legal Disclaimer *** Diese E-Mail einschliesslich ihrer Anhaenge ist vertraulich und ist allein für den Gebrauch durch den vorgesehenen Empfaenger bestimmt.

Publish single graphs without authentication
by Stephan Dahlmann 08 Jul '13

08 Jul '13

Hi, I am looking at Observium as an alternative / addition to Cacti and it looks really nice so far. One thing I do with Cacti is publish single graphs of bandwidth on core routers and switches to websites (or wikis), so that other people can see that current usage very fast without having to access Cacti. This works by giving a guest (means: no login) read access and then just using the URL for the graph (e.g. .../graph_image.php?local_graph_id=330). The last part is as easy in Observium (../graph.php?type=port_bits&id=150&height=200&width=600), but I don't think there is an easy option to do this without authentication. Any idea on how to accomplish this? Thanks

Here is a hack to get JunOS (potentially others?) to work via leveraging the pseudo Entity-MIB construct from SNMP::Info Bit nasty as you may need to ensure the MIBs required by SNMP::Info are available someone in your mibdirs I'm not overly impressed with the output of this, and at some stage will probably see if it can be improved.

Hello All, Just a note a have a site in Trenton, MI not Trenton, NJ its listing them in NJ area on the Map. All my nodes have City,State IE Trenton, MI just something you might want to look at. Also it would be cool to have the ability to limit the map to a "area" like for me just the USA. I just use solarwinds for Alerting and everything else is Observium but it would be nice to have the map not show all the countries. Keep up the great work the new layout looks GREAT! Mike

IP SLA

Hi. IP SLA is not showing any data in the graphs. I have found information of this problem before in the list but no solutions only others having similar problems. Everything looks ok from debug output, snmpwalk is getting ip sla data, rrds is being updated, SLA tab is there, graph with are showing up but with no data ! When doing a "rrdtool dump sla-1.rrd" I find data with future timestamps ?!  <row><v>1.3000000000e+01</v></row>  <row><v>6.0586666667e+01</v></row>  <row><v>6.1000000000e+01</v></row> No other rrd archive is showing future timestamps with data. My rrd knowledge is not very good but I suspect that there might be a connection with graphs not showing data ? My Observium installation work as expected except for IP SLA. Doing daily svn updates. Thankful for anybody that can help solving this. Mikael Fäldtman

Geographically distributed pollers with poller-wrapper.py
by Michael Hsu 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

The problem is that the pollers write to rrd's local to the poller box and observium isn't written in a way where these can be easily distributed. I wrote the patch that added that comment as that was my goal. I tested using parallel rsync methods as well as using glusterfs replicated filesystem across multiple datacenters but couldn't get my polling runs + syncing to complete within 5 minute runs (quickest I could get were 8 minute runs writing to about 16,000+ rrds). I have a large number of ports however so smaller installations could probably work. I wonder what the plans are for being able to distribute observium across multiple hosts, geographically or not. Or if anyone else has attempted this. What would be great would be the option to use something like graphite for the graphing backend so pollers could just send data to graphite and observium could use graphite to create the graphs for the web interface. >On 2013-06-24 14:46, Benjamin Abadie wrote: >> Hi, >> I'm reading the following as a comment in poller-wrapper.py : >> >> Additionally, if a hostname wildcard is passed, add it to the where >> clause.

Problem with geolocation
by Joniel Gagné-Laurin 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

Hi everyone, Been using for some time Observium as a potential replacement for our reporting system and we are now ready to put in production our server but I'm stuck at the moment. I know some people had this issue in the past and some fix were put in place but it doesn't work for me. On a newly installed server, when I try to add a host by addhost.php, the mysql insert query is not going through because the location_geoapi is empty. The easiest way of dealing would be to just allow null value or put a default value, but I would like to have a clean solution as we will use it for production. I don't know if there is something missing in my setup or what, but something I'm sure, the request to get the geo location doesn't go out as I don't see anything on my proxy. So, can someone can help me here? I can provide some debugging if you need more information. Fantastic product by the way, loving it.

Adding new OS and types of devices
by Jon Auer 24 Jun '13

24 Jun '13

1) I have some devices that aren't known to Observium that I'd like to track. I've followed the instructions at http://observium.org/wiki/Developing/NewOS and made a new OS type for Ubiquiti EdgeOS routers. Diff here: http://www.tapodi.net/~jda/dev/edgeos.diff <http://www.tapodi.net/%7Ejda/dev/edgeos.diff> Did I do that correctly, and if so, how do I contribute it back into Observium? 2) Is there a preferred way to handle point to multipoint aggregation devices such as DSLAMs, GPON OLTs, and Wireless APs where you have client signal levels, modulation, etc? In particular I'd like to add support for Ubiquiti and Canopy APs where one would track multiple metrics for each associated client in addition to metrics from the device itself. E.g. Stats for the downlink can be gathered from the AP, but uplink has to be gathered from the client radios. Clients are only loosely associated with APs (they are discovered through a AP, can migrate to other APs, and don't have a static IP address). Client devices like this break the hostname-required rule but perhaps it isn't mandatory if they are discovered via the AP? <http://observium.org/wiki/Developing/NewOS>

Re: [Observium] Exclude interfaces with empty ifDescr
by Joe Hoh 20 Jun '13

20 Jun '13

Adam, You are right - I have confused ifAlias with ifDescr. Let's say that I have 1,000 Ethernet ports on Access Switches that are for desktop/laptop connections. These are going to be up/down randomly and I don't care. I don't want to investigate bandwidth or errors on them individually ALL of the time. I only want to do this when I am investigating a problem. I cannot Admin Down these interfaces - users need to use them I don't want to gather stats on them - because of storage/overhead/long polling I don't want to manage ifAliases on them - what would I name them - users move and come and go all of the time. I want to include uplinks and crosslinks and the device details only - not the end-user ports. I just want to exclude them from Observium as 'Ignored' How can I do that? Joe

NFSEN name mapping

Hello, I am running revision 4151 on debian 7.1 and I am trying integrate nfsen into observium. Unfortunately, the tab does not show up and if I try to manually access the nfsen-tab the graphs are empty with the error "Error Drawing Graph". The graphs are looking fine in the webinterface of nfsen. Therefor I suspect a problem with the name mapping. Hostname in Observium: ch-bb-r1.domain.tld file-names in $nfsen_rrds: ch-bb-r1.rrd root@observer:/opt/observium# cat config.php | grep nfsen $config['nfsen_enable'] = 1; $config['nfsen_rrds'] = "/opt/nfsen/profiles-stat/live/"; $config['nfsen_split_char'] = "_"; $config['nfsen_suffix'] = "_domain_tld"; Permissions should be fine as well: 1311140 2628 -rw-rw-r-- 1 www-data www-data 2687848 Jun 18 16:05 /opt/nfsen/profiles-stat/live/ch-bb-r1.rrd Can you see any obvious misconfiguration in here?

Exclude interfaces with empty ifDescr

We have discovered only 21 devices and have 3266 ports. We will have over 2,000 devices. I want to ignore ports where ifDescr is null or whitespace. Currently, I have: $config['bad_if_regexp'][] = array("/^$/","","/\A\s*+\z/"); This is _not_ working, or at least it is not working for EXISTING, DISCOVERED ports. Please show me the way! I want to be able to remove the ifDescr from the network gear and have it stop being monitored and vice-versa (add an ifDescr and have it start being monitored). Thanks! I'm sure I just have something messed up in the regex.

am not anymore getting the page generated from http://myObsHost/inventory/ neither directly, nor from the navbar button. config has 1 set for enable_inventory (and api, iirc) individual inventory still shows per-device view, but no aggregate global list anymore... is it me? or has something broken "recently" ? fwiw, this is on r4159 thanks, R.

Health probe not added
by Hynek Med 18 Jun '13

18 Jun '13

Hi, I have noticed that there's no health (temperature, dBm) measurement for one of interfaces on a Cisco 6500. Other ports are measured, traffic and erros on this port is measured. How to fix that? How to re-add a device / force scan of health probes ? Thanks, Hynek -- Hynek Med PRO-ZETA a.s. Tiskarska 10/257 108 00 Praha 10 Czech Republic

by darkblue 17 Jun '13

I have a lot of h3c network gear to monitor, such as s5500, s3100 and F100E. but it seems that observium is not compatible with h3c's device.

SVN commit comments, overall usability of SVN code
by Sebastian Wiesinger 17 Jun '13

17 Jun '13

Hello, I'm testing out Observium and I like a lot of the things that Observium does. But what really irks me is the way and style of releasing new versions and committing to the SVN repository. 1) Commit messages. To quickly get a feel what changed between revisions I consult the svn log. That is the primary source of information. In the Observium SVN this often leads me to read things like this: r4147 - CODE, Y U NO LOOK RITE r4140 - Me need your soul, more souls. >:-> r4139 - you're not ready for this. :) r4125 - disable whatever the fuck that is r4101 - add some crappy errors And on and on. Things like that make me question the code quality that is committed to the repository. What kind of project do you want to be with these kind of commit messages? Mind you, I know that many people use cheeky or funny commit messages but normally they include some kind of explanation/context to see what has changed. That's missing here. This hurts the project. It projects an immature image. 2) Follow up to this: How is code quality review done? What are the procedures to decide when code is added to the repository and how do you make sure that the repository is stable for the majority of the users? Also I noticed that you do not separate code and HTML output which is another source of potential problems and accidental breakage. Is it planned to rewrite this to use a templating system?

AP Statistics from Cisco WLC
by Fletcher Haynes 12 Jun '13

Hello, Observium has been awesome so far...I am wondering if there are plans to support AP discovery and statistics from Cisco WiSMs? We have several hundred APs in lightweight mode we would like to monitor. If there are no current development efforts in that area, I may take a crack at it...

Inversing in and out
by Benjamin Abadie 10 Jun '13

10 Jun '13

Hi, I'm looking for a way to reverse in and out position in port graphs. That is, display positive values for outbound, and negative ones for inbound. It can be interesting for a CDN, which mostly send its data to other ASes (booooo ! ;] ) I found a variable "$inverse" which *seems* to do what I want to do : > /opt/observium 0 # grep --exclude-dir=".svn" -n -r "\$inverse" > html/includes/graphs/generic_multi_data.inc.php:48: if ($inverse) { $in = 'out'; $out = 'in'; } else { $in = 'in'; $out = 'out'; } > html/includes/graphs/generic_multi_bits.inc.php:39: if ($inverse) { $in = 'out'; $out = 'in'; } else { $in = 'in'; $out = 'out'; } > html/includes/graphs/generic_data.inc.php:28:if ($inverse) { $in = 'out'; $out = 'in'; } else { $in = 'in'; $out = 'out'; } > html/includes/graphs/multiport/bits_trio.inc.php:17: if (strstr($inverse, "a")) { $in = "OUT"; $out = "IN"; } else { $in = "IN"; $out = "OUT"; } > html/includes/graphs/multiport/bits_trio.inc.php:37: if (strstr($inverse, "b")) { $in = "OUT"; $out = "IN"; } else { $in = "IN"; $out = "OUT"; } > html/includes/graphs/multiport/bits_trio.inc.php:57: if (strstr($inverse, "c")) { $in = "OUT"; $out = "IN"; } else { $in = "IN"; $out = "OUT"; } > html/includes/graphs/multiport/bits_duo.inc.php:45:if ($inverse) { $in = 'out'; $out = 'in'; } else { $in = 'in'; $out = 'out'; } But setting it to true does not seem to change anything. Am I completely mistaken ? If not, how should I use this ? I know it's not an official feature (or I would have found a config option) but I'm just messing around a little with observium's code... ;) Regards, Benjamin Abadie
