Add peer-name to BGP notifications
by Steffen Klemer 29 Mar '22

Hey there, for some reasons not everyone of us is fluent with IPs and AS numbers so I'd like to propose to add some kind of descriptive info to the routing alerts. For us sth. like: /var/www/observium/includes/entities.inc.php:1789 $entity['entity_name'] = "AS".$entity['bgpPeerRemoteAs'] ." ". $addr ." ". $entity['reverse_dns']; would be a good enough/great solution. Merry Christmas for everyone celebrating it and/or some calm days from Göttingen, Germany.

Trying to not alert on an interface in monitoring mode
by Lars Joergensen 28 Mar '22

28 Mar '22

Hey all I'm trying to build an alert that will go off in an interface is operationally down but not disabled. A fringe case is a span port where the operational state is "monitoring". It still triggers on these conditions (both are required to be true): [cid:image001.png@01D8405C.2132B5D0] (It says "suppressed" because the previous definition of the alarm was "IfOperStatus notequals up" and we suppressed it at that time) Can anybody help me see through what's wrong in my definition?

vlan table cleanup?
by Adam Thompson 25 Mar '22

25 Mar '22

We’re noticing that the VLANs page (Ports-->VLANs) is less useful than it could be, because it seems to keep around every VLAN that has ever existed on every device that has ever existed. I also don’t see anything in …/includes/housekeeping/* that would address this. It’s so bad/useless at this point that 1701 records are from devices that don’t even exist anymore (vs. 4409 where the parent device at least still exists, even if the VLAN doesn’t). A similar problem exists in vlans_fdb. Is there some housekeeping mechanism that is supposed to take care of this, that I can go troubleshoot? Or is it just an oversight/omission? And if not, can I just do a “DELETE FROM vlans WHERE NOT EXISTS ( <query on ‘device’> )” (and something similar on vlans_fdb) to clean it up? Thanks, -Adam Adam Thompson Consultant, Infrastructure Services [MERLIN] 100 - 135 Innovation Drive Winnipeg, MB, R3T 6A8 (204) 977-6824 or 1-800-430-6404 (MB only) athompson(a)merlin.mb.ca<mailto:athompson@merlin.mb.ca> www.merlin.mb.ca<http://www.merlin.mb.ca/>

IPMI discrete unit sensors
by Karl-André Skevik 22 Mar '22

22 Mar '22

Hello, We have several machines with IPMI configured in observium. Some of these machines have had hardware failures, such as power supply or disk failures, and we can see the failure status when polling the machines via ipmitool, but there are no warnings reported by observium. The unit of these sensor values is "discrete". Does observium support this type of sensor, and if so, is it possible to configure observium to warn about failures in these sensors? Regards,

restarting snmp service on windows server flags the server as down in observium
by Tony Guadagno 21 Mar '22

21 Mar '22

Hi, I have an alert that says if the device_uptime is less than 360, alert that the server was down. I happened to restart the snmp service on several of my servers and was surprised to find the alert triggered. I am guessing that when snmp restarts, the uptime counter goes to zero? Is there any way to get a true read of the uptime? I am trying to alert if the server rebooted within the poling window. thanks Tony

Question BGP peers in VRF

However it only detects the vpnv4/vpnv6 bgp peers. It does not detect the bgp peers inside vrfs. Is there any possibility to do so? Apparently they should be read in CISCO-BGP4-MIB Regards Mihai

VLANs UI question
by Adam Thompson 08 Mar '22

08 Mar '22

I’m using the top-level VLANs view to help identify VLANs we can remove, and it’s remarkably helpful, at least as a starting point. This view identifies that I have, for example, 2 untagged ports on VLAN 6… which is great, but how do I see *which ports* those are? I haven’t been able to find anything I can click on that reveals the port names/numbers, or even which device they’re on. Beyond that, how is it possible to have 2 untagged ports on 0 (zero) devices, in the first place? While we’re at it, in <hostname>/vlan/vlan_id=XYZ/ page, why are the labels “Devices”, “Tagged Ports”, “Untagged Ports” and “MACs” in the banner clickable if they don’t do anything? Help? I’m assuming I’m missing something here. -Adam Adam Thompson Consultant, Infrastructure Services [MERLIN] 100 - 135 Innovation Drive Winnipeg, MB, R3T 6A8 (204) 977-6824 or 1-800-430-6404 (MB only) athompson(a)merlin.mb.ca<mailto:athompson@merlin.mb.ca> www.merlin.mb.ca<http://www.merlin.mb.ca/>

I can’t say for certain but I recently upgraded from 21.12.11831 (stable) -> 22.2.11898 (stable) and all of our user accounts that had specific device permissions seem to have lost those entries. Is there anything in the upgrade that may have overwritten or otherwise caused those permissions to disappear?

Re: [Observium] LDAP auth to MS AD with TLS Self Signed Cert
by Tony Guadagno 17 Feb '22

17 Feb '22

Adam, I finally got this working. I have written up a quick guide to making this work, would it be possible for you to put this in your documentation page for LDAP Authentication? I am sure I will loose it if it is not somewhere obvious Directions for enabling LDAP with TLS when connecting to an LDAP server with a self signed certificate or a CA that the Observium server does not recognize Assumptions: you have already enabled SSL/TLS for ldap on your Microsoft Domain Controller (or other LDAP server) Observium is installed on a Fedora flavor of Linux version 7 or 8 (this might work with Ubuntu but i am not sure the commands are the same) Observium is configured for LDAP AND TLS per the authentication documentation page On the Observium server: yum install php-ldap vim /etc/openldap/ldap.conf make sure these 2 config options are commented out #TLS_CACERTDIR /etc/openldap/certs #TLS_CACERT /etc/openldap/certs/cert.crt Add/Change this config option to either hard or allow TLS_REQCERT hard “hard” means that the LDAP server MUST present a cert and the cert must be trustworthy OR in the trusted cert store (this is the more secure method) “allow” mean that the LDAP server MUST present a cert and the cert can be anything...valid or invalid setting to “hard” is better because it prevents an imposter from stealing the ip address of the LDAP server and intercepting the messages from Observium If you are setting TLS_REQCERT to “hard” then take these additional steps: export the LDAP server cert in b64 format with NO KEY place cert of LDAP server in ‘/etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors’ folder run ‘update-ca-trust’ as root Tony From: Adam Armstrong via observium<mailto:observium@observium.org> Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2022 7:29 PM To: 'Observium'<mailto:observium@observium.org> Cc: Adam Armstrong<mailto:adama@observium.org> Subject: Re: [Observium] LDAP auth to MS AD with TLS Self Signed Cert I’ve never used LDAP, so I’m not really sure how this should be done. You can put the putenv stuff in config.php. So long as the variable is set before LDAP tries to start the connection that should be sufficient. Observium doesn’t have any configuration related to this itself. You just need to coax whatever conglomeration of PHP and OpenLDAP code exists into talking to your LDAP server. You might be able to turn of the cert checking by putting “TLS_REQCERT never” into ldap.conf, probably /etc/openldap/ldap.conf or somewhere similar. Adam.

The LDAP connection is done by PHP’s LDAP module. You just need to work out how to do it with PHP’s module. It’s probably that you could override this globally with the php.ini rather than putting it in the config.php, too. There seems to be half a dozen solutions for making this work, which isn’t uncommon with infrequently used PHP features. There’s also this: putenv('/path/to/rootca.pem'); Adam.

Alert dependency
by Toky ANDRIANASOLO 09 Feb '22

09 Feb '22

Hello, Is it possible to set an alert dependency on observium? for example if there are 04 devices on the network: 01 router and 03 cascading switches.. If the router goes down, we do not need the 03 switches sending an alert anymore as they depends on the router. This will save us from flooding alert and make the alerting system more efficient. Thank You and Regards, Toky,

alert sensibility setting
by Toky ANDRIANASOLO 09 Feb '22

Hello, we are setting an alert based on device status metric, so if the device status is 0 (down), an alert will be sent to a group of mail destination.. Now we want to adjust the alert sensibility of observium in order to sent the mail if the device is down for 10 mn, in other words, if the device is down then up after 8mn for example, we don't want to be alerted. Thank you and Regads, Toky

poller overwrites manual sensor limits
by Joey Stanford 05 Feb '22

05 Feb '22

Hi, We’ve disabled service discovery in order to zero in on why custom sensor limits are being overwritten. As far as we can ascertain, it appears that the poller is doing this but we’re not sure when/how since it doesn’t reset on every poll. It’s so transient that we’re finding it very difficult to identify the actual culprit. Can anyone offer tips on how we can debug this further? Thanks, Joey

Sending device status to external status page

Hi, Ideas wanted. As a service provider, I want to expose basic up/down status to my consumers, So they can self-discover if a portion of the network in their area is affected. In my case, I have emergency communication systems and I would love to make some of these visible in an up/down fashion to people. A status page or uptime robot basic presentation. Any ideas on how I might do this? Joey

All graphs stopped at Jan 1st 00:00

Hi, I did not notice it earlier but somehow all graphs stopped on Jan 1st 00:00 ? Doesn't matter for which device I look or at what type of graph. The graphs look like this: [cid:image003.png@01D81120.552DF310] [cid:image004.png@01D81120.552DF310] Does anyone have seen this before? I haven't made changes to the Observium installation recently. I only updated the OS where Observium is running (was running on an old Ubuntu 16.02 version and is now upgrades to Ubuntu 20.04). But that was done in week 50 (the week of Dec 13th) and after that the graphs still worked. So strange that it exactly stopped at midnight of the new year? [cid:image005.png@01D81120.552DF310] If anybody got tips how to get this working again please let me know. Thank you, Richard

Arista VARP IP addresses not being discovered?
by Adam Thompson 31 Dec '21

31 Dec '21

We’ve noticed that although Observium picks up the VRRPv3 virtual IP addresses on our Cisco NX-OS switches, it does not detect or capture the VARP virtual IP addresses on our Arista EOS switches. Is that expected behaviour? If so, what information do you need to change Observium so that it can detect VARP IPs and display them on the appropriate interfaces? If not, what debug output should I be looking at – discovery? Polling? Which section? Thanks, -Adam Adam Thompson Consultant, Infrastructure Services [MERLIN] 100 - 135 Innovation Drive Winnipeg, MB, R3T 6A8 (204) 977-6824 or 1-800-430-6404 (MB only) athompson(a)merlin.mb.ca<mailto:athompson@merlin.mb.ca> www.merlin.mb.ca<http://www.merlin.mb.ca/>

Alerting feature request
by Joey Stanford 30 Dec '21

30 Dec '21

From my colleagues: > > What we would REALLY like is the ability to turn off alerts on a particular device for a specified amount of time. For example, when Winter Park goes flakey but it is really Comcast or Centurylink that need to fix the problem, I don't want alerts every 10 minutes to tell me the link still sucks. > > There are several possible solutions to this. One is a manual "suppress alerts for X hours". It is important that the alerts be turned back on after the specified time because otherwise we tend to forget to turn it back on. > > Another option is a rate limit on alerts by device. After 5 alerts I probably figured out the link sucks. > > A third option is a "delay on recover". Right now we get a recover as soon as one check passes. If it is flakey we may want to have more checks pass before declaring it recovered. This would probably be something we want to do by device, because from most I want to know as soon as it is back.

When we add the equipments in observium , it's show "generical" device. We asked Huawei about thi4e case and Huawei told us if the "current regular mib" had the OIDs for ETP4860. We try to make observium discoveries about the correct type "power" and vendor "huawei" to get the power information, like load, AC entry, baterya load, and so on... We was fight with this equipment more 1 year and can't make running =( We flap the "loss flag" and ask for help for anyone who can help us.

syslog issues
by Brad Bendy 22 Dec '21

22 Dec '21

Spent hours on this and am at a loss. Got some hosts that won't have syslog show up in the GUI, digging further the DB shows the IP not the hostname for those records, so that makes sense why they are not showing up. Looking at the actual data coming over syslog the devices that work and don't work show the exact same format. Nothing different at all, and identical configs on identical devices. Is there a debug or another log that I am not seeing that would show why these entries are getting inserted into the DB as IP addresses and not being replaced with hostnames? At a loss, any suggestions would be great! Thanks

Ruckus zone director support
by Brandon Lund 20 Dec '21

20 Dec '21

is anyone monitoring ruckus zone directors? it looks like it provides a bunch of useful info via snmp but observium is not graphing much other then the bandwidth on the interfaces. main thing i am looking for would be a graph of the number of ap's connected. 1.3.6.1.4.1.25053.1.2.1.1.1.15.1.0 aka online ap number RUCKUS-ZD-SYSTEM-MIB::ruckusZDSystemStatsNumAP.0 = Gauge32: 15 ^ is a oid i found from a script i run against my Nagios to monitor the same stat, just would like a graph also. i am sure there is lots of other useful info also ,eg number of clients connected per wlan, per ap, etc. it looks like you already have the mib file for these installed but i am not sure where i would start customizing the code. i would think i need to make a new OS for ruckus zonedirector different than ruckus aps, and then have that apply these mibs, but i am unsure where i should start.

Re: [Observium] question about wmi
by Tony Guadagno 17 Dec '21

Rando, I followed this KB https://docs.observium.org/device_windows/ and it just worked. The reason I asked the questions is that it is not immediately obvious that it is working or not. The poller.php -m wmi -v proves it is working but also, I realized that if wmi is working, then your Microsoft devices will show a “windows services” tab. Also, I have Observium installed on RHEL 8. There seems to be no wmi package for version 8 (CentOS or RHEL). I installed the wmi RPM for version 7 and it seems to be working…fyi Good luck Tony From: Rando Sui Sent: Friday, December 17, 2021 6:29 AM To: Observium Cc: Tony Guadagno Subject: RE: [Observium] question about wmi Hello, How did you get WMI working and passing info?

If you are interested in the nature of the data flowing (e.g. destinations and protocols, etc.) then you probably need another tool like ntopng but only if your network equipment supports NetFlow/sFlow exports. To check bandwidth being used, typically you drill down to a specific port on a router or switch and display the data graphically that way. For data flowing between sites via a VPN, you may need to look at IPsec ports, rather than physical ports. Take a look under ports: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ad/Observium-ports-march20… MfG Darren On Fri, 3 Dec 2021 at 11:13, Njoroge, Joyce (Stadt Ulm) via observium < observium(a)observium.org> wrote: > Hallo, > I have two questions that I would like to know whether it is possible > to do using Observium: > > 1.

S2S Monitoring and Bandwidth Check
by Njoroge, Joyce (Stadt Ulm) 05 Dec '21

05 Dec '21

Hallo, I have two questions that I would like to know whether it is possible to do using Observium: 1. Is there a way to monitor the data that flows between site-to-site locations? 2. How can I check the bandwidth of a device that is already in observium? Lastly, I understand that mapping is from a 3rd party provider (OpenStreetMap), but would anyone have had a problem, whereby just from nowhere locations, that were properly mapped, are not correctly mapped anymore? A bunch of locations are showing in the middle of the sea. Thanks. Regards, Joyce

Discovery of IPv6 only hosts
by r0m5 30 Nov '21

30 Nov '21

Hello, I have a problem addind IPv6 only hosts to observium using discovery. For example the "myserver" host in the extract below (part of the result of"/opt/observium/discovery.php -h all -dd") This "myserver" host is discovered as a LLDP neighbor of another host. Then discovery.php tries to connect to "myserver" with snmpget using its IPv6 address. But There are missing brackets in the snmpget command : - failing : /usr/bin/snmpget -v2c -c 'commu' -Pud -OQUsn -m SNMPv2-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp 'udp6':'fde6:67ca:25ef:14::17':'161' .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 - would be OK (adding brackets) : /usr/bin/snmpget -v2c -c 'commu' -Pud -OQUsn -m SNMPv2-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp 'udp6':'[fde6:67ca:25ef:14::17]':'161' .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 How could I solve this issue ? - is there a way to force observium to add brackets ? - or maybe even better to force observium to use the hostname "myserver" to connect using snmpget instead of the IPv6 address ?

Unable to create web links to Watchdog monitors`
by Joe Brouillette 29 Oct '21

29 Oct '21

Good afternoon, I am trying to create a web page with links to our Watchdog environment monitors and not having any luck. I am using the same syntax I used with the Observium server I had last year and all I'm getting is a pink rectangle with No Auth at the top and the Date/Time indicators at the bottom. I can copy my links and put them in the address bar of my browser and the temperature graph pops right up. I did add the $config['allow_unauth_graphs'] = 0; line to my config.php file. I've been going over my settings and I can't figure this out. What am I doing wrong? I'm running Observium Professional 21.10.11678.

Hosts showing with _gateway
by Brad Bendy 28 Oct '21

28 Oct '21

Hi, Ive been chasing this problem for hours and see what is going on, no clue why. I have a host that is in DNS and added to Observium, syslog is not being collected. Digging around more I also see a _gateway device in Observium (I have never added this). This device actually appears to be the one I am having issues with. I removed the device and readded, it polls the device once it looks then the rrds area created as _gateway and not the actual device name, so that's why the GUI is not showing anything I am guessing. In this install the gateway is the same firewall that I am trying to add that is showing up as _gateway. We have no _gateway anywhere in the config and nothing in the local hosts file or DNS. So I am a lost as to what is going on here. Has anyone seen this or have a clue what is going on?? Thanks

Dell OpenManage / Monitor
by ron＠rjr-services.com 27 Oct '21

27 Oct '21

Howdy Dev team, Was doing some digging into the /includes/mibs/dell.inc.php and found the section on $mib = 'MIB-Dell-10892'; $config['mibs'][$mib]['enable'] = 1; $config['mibs'][$mib]['identity_num'] = '.1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1'; With a number of sub-items. As Dell have been releasing newer versions of OpenManage and Dell Command|Monitor, they have been migrating away from the 10892 mib, and are now using the 10909 mib. Just did a comparison walk on two different machines with different versions of OM agent, and have the following results: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.674.10892.1.300.10.1.9.1 = STRING: "Precision WorkStation T3500 " SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.674.10909.1.300.10.1.9.1 = STRING: "Precision T7610" Of course the former machine doesn't have anything on 10909, and the latter has nothing on 10892. Sometime back, I pulled down MIB-Dell-10909 and dropped it into $OBSERVIUM_HOME/mibs/dell, but I haven't tried hacking on any of the php files anywhere... but it leads the question of whether it would be a "low-hanging fruit" type of change or if it would be something more substantial.

Best way to mass disable certain MIBs per device
by Brad Bendy 25 Oct '21

25 Oct '21

Hi, Easy way to do this? I have a ton of firewalls that support BGP but non running BGP and from the logs looks like that times out quite a bit, would like to just disable that. Is there a safe way to just do it in database and not break anything else? Thanks

Is there a setting to make all the red alerts appear on the map as the top Icon sometimes, a place with multiple devices, the Red Alert Icon shows up under the green ones?

Mysql binary log files full hd
by Jay Hanke 12 Oct '21

12 Oct '21

We've got a server running subscription observium and inadvertently had our mysql binary logging settings not optimized and filled the drive. Mysql won't start to run the recovery process due to the full drive. Server is only running observium. Is it safe to manually delete some of the old binlog files to get mysql to start and then run the cleanup in mysql or would I lose observium info? Thanks! Jay
