Reset disk storage values on host
by Andrew Lynch 21 Apr '13

21 Apr '13

I recently changed the disk configuration on one of my monitored hosts. It seems like the discovery engine is pulling the stats incorrectly and applying them to the wrong disks. Is there an easy way (save for removing and re-adding the entire host) to flush the stats of the storage only? I don't care if it has to completely start from scratch.

Subifs no longer showing up for Cisco ASR9K/IOS-XR device after upgrade
by Stephen Fulton 21 Apr '13

21 Apr '13

Hi all, I've been using Observium since January, and I've mostly been happy with it. I upgraded to 0.13.4.3934 yesterday, and since then, none of the sub-interfaces on a ASR9K/IOS-XR 4.3.0 router are being collected. Originally I thought it was due to an upgrade error on my part, so I deleted the host and re-added it, but the sub-interfaces are not being seen and data not being collected. Let me know what information is needed, and I'll present it. -- Stephen

If you changed the RRD databases, they'd stop storing the normal datapoints, because they would be at the wrong resolution. Like I said, it can't currently be done. You could change the entire installation to be 1-minute, change the RRD template and delete all of the existing RRDs, but you wouldn't want to, because that would be a lot of load on your network and on the observium host. Also, your changes would likely be overwritten by a future update, then you'd be stuffed :) adam.

Observium Enterprise/Pro licensing
by Adam Armstrong 20 Apr '13

20 Apr '13

Hi All, At some point in the future it's likely that I'm going to split Observium into free and enterprise/pro variants. Observium has historically been developed as a fairly ad hoc project, with work being done as time permits between work projects. We've often had gaps of 6 months where there has been little work done due to other commitments. As the user-base expands this is going to become less and less viable a way of maintaining the project, and we need to be able to devote more time to keeping on top of bug reports and feature development. To be able to devote more time to the project we need to establish a revenue stream to be able to support it. We'd like comments from you guys about how we should go about splitting, what should be in each version, and what we should charge. We're considering: A hosts/ports-based licensing scheme, where you get a certain number free, and any more than that requires a license. A feature-based licensing scheme, where higher-value features such as load balancers, netapp, mac accounting, vpn tracking, etc require a license. Licensing for customer-access, where allowing customers access to the web interface requires a license. What pricing models do you think would work? Options for the ent/pro version include using the honour system, maintaining a separate password-protected SVN repository or distributing an ioncube-protected version. I would prefer to go the honour system route, but I'm not sure how well that would work. Thanks, adam.

polling interval
by J Z 19 Apr '13

19 Apr '13

Long-time user and lurker. Many thanks to Adam and those who volunteer their time on this awesome project. I was wondering if there was a way to modify the polling interval (aside from modifying the crontab entry). I know that there was a lot of work that had to be done to decrease the polling interval from 5 to 1 minutes in Cacti, so I imagine it's not as simple as simply changing the crontab entry for Observium to monitor a switch's traffic utilization every 60 seconds. Has anyone successfully done this? Is there something simple I'm missing to get this to work? Many thanks!

APC UPS and remaining Runtime
by Chris Blake 19 Apr '13

19 Apr '13

Hello, Not sure if I am doing this right (using the mailing list) so please don't kill me if I am. I currently have a APC UPS SMT2200RM2U, and I just recently added it to my Observium panel vi SNMP v2c. I see it logs everything from the current load to battery temp, but I am kind of surprised it does not log Battery Run Time Remaining. I checked in the latest APC powernet.mib file, and there is a function to call this. So, I updated the /opt/observium/mib/apc/powernet.mib to the latest version, but observium still does not log or show the remaining run time, which leads me to believe it is not coded into the script. Just wondering if this is a plan for the future, or am I doing everything wrong? Thanks, Chris B

Polling Rate on a 3750 Stack
by Michael Sweikata 18 Apr '13

18 Apr '13

Is anyone else having huge response times in their polling of a Cisco 3750 stack? I've increased the number of pollers I have to something close to 17, but my 3750s seem to take forever to respond (anywhere between 200 - 999.99+ seconds). It may be an issue on my 3750s, but my polling intervals on my devices is several hours. I have 2950s and 6509s that don't seem to have any issue responding in a short amount of time (<20 seconds).

Re: [Observium] Observium Enterprise/Pro licensing
by Adam Armstrong 16 Apr '13

For the port-based model we would likely exclude virtual ports. It would likely only exist to catch users with 8 vss and 10k ports :-) In terms of support and development, we would likely push all new feature development to the commercial version. Support and feature requests from licensees would be prioritised too. This is already the case for our existing commercial sponsor. Roughly 50% of development work is directly requested features from them. We certainly want to keep the free version usable, and we don't want to separate the code bases, as that would slow progress a lot. I think the balance between keeping everything usable and maintaining a carrot to encourage people to license will be difficult. Pricing is also difficult to decide on. If the majority of users won't pay, it will be higher than if we have more licensees. If every user paid $10, we would probably be fine. I suspect not even 5% will be willing to pay, though. Adam.

Access denied to fabric graphs
by Robert Williams 14 Apr '13

Hi, Got an odd one here, suddenly we are getting access denied to all 6500/7600 fabric graphs on all devices: [cid:image001.png@01CE3697.EBD353E0] When you click on the * graph you get: [cid:image002.png@01CE3697.EBD353E0] From the URL: http://<servername>/graphs/to=1365669262/device=43/mod=1/chan=0/type=c6kxbar_util/from=1365582862/<http://%3cservername%3e/graphs/to=1365669262/device=43/mod=1/chan=0/type=c6kxbar_util/from=1365582862/> We auto SVN update, so I can’t be certain exactly when this broke, but I’m pretty sure it was ok a few days ago. I’m logged in as “admin” and have never changed (or even really looked at) the permissions page, but here is a screenshot in case I’ve failed to add something I’m meant to: [cid:image003.png@01CE3698.81307AD0] Any assistance much appreciated :) Cheers!

Pagination issue
by Michael Robbert 08 Apr '13

08 Apr '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I just noticed in our instance of Observium if we load the "Ports -> All ports" page it has a pagination selector at the top, but it appears to be showing all ports on one page rather than the 100 that appears to be the default. This was producing 500 errors until I increased the PHP memory to 1024M. Now it is grinding the browser to a crawl. Should this or could this page load only the first 100 entries by default? We have a similar problem with the inventory page, but it doesn't appear to have pagination enabled. I'd like to request that has an enhancement unless it is supposed to already be there and my instance is just messed up.

Hi All, At the moment I have an issue that some of my graphs dont show well and something in the overusage calculation as well. - I see no graph for overusage - I see no correct overusage. According to my system a client is using 2,58 Mbps (1 allowed) and the overusage is 2,58 Mbps as well. Is this a familiar issue ?

Drop it into an rrd and add in entry into $graps_enabled matching the graph type which will draw it. You also need a graph type def in definitions. Adam.

LDAP Configuration
by Michael Sweikata 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

Hey everyone; Answers so far have been wonderful. I've been pouring through the archives trying to find a good example for LDAP Authentication, and I believe I have the authentication portion working correctly, however security permissions in Observium aren't working correctly. If I provide the correct credentials, it lets me through but the main page has no content. If I provide incorrect credentials, it spits me back out to the login page. The structure of the containers is correct, the AD Security Group 'Network Ops' is the group our Network Management team uses, so I want us to have full access (level 10), and is located in (Canonical name): hh.nku.edu/NKU/HH/Groups/Security/Network Ops I've tried it with 'Domain Users' instead of 'Network Ops' but no dice there either. And yes, I have double-checked that my account is a member of the 'Network Ops' group, I didn't get fired today. My level 7 and level 1 groups have been commented out just to try and simplify any issues. My config.php (relevant portions) look like: // Authentication Model #Required LDAP Settings $config['auth_mechanism'] = "ldap"; $config['auth_ldap_version'] = 3; $config['auth_ldap_server'] = "nkuserv1.hh.nku.edu"; $config['auth_ldap_port'] = 389; $config['auth_ldap_starttls'] = "false"; #User Account $config['auth_ldap_prefix'] = "cn="; $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",OU=Faculty_Staff,OU=Users,OU=HH,OU=NKU,DC=hh,DC=nku,DC=edu"; #Required Group Membership $config['auth_ldap_group'] = "cn=Network Ops,OU=Security,OU=Groups,OU=HH,OU=NKU,dc=hh,dc=nku,dc=edu"; $config['auth_ldap_groupbase'] = "ou=Security,ou=Groups,ou=hh,ou=nku,dc=hh,dc=nku,dc=edu"; #Optional LDAP Settings $config['auth_ldap_groups']['Network Ops']['level'] = 10; #$config['auth_ldap_groups']['Domain Admins']['level'] = 7; #$config['auth_ldap_groups']['Lab Admins']['level'] = 1; So, if anyone has any ideas or can help with this, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Observium] Observium Storage Requirements
by Tom Laermans 01 Apr '13

Next to the rrd requirements, you may want to put some pruning in place for the eventlog and syslog tables. Size of storage per device depends on what is monitored on it. But as said in other answers the data files itself do not expand. Sent from my mobile, please excuse brevity and spelling errors. ----- Reply message ----- From: "Michael Sweikata" <sweikatam1(a)nku.edu> To: "observium(a)observium.org" <observium(a)observium.org> Subject: [Observium] Observium Storage Requirements Date: Mon, Apr 1, 2013 16:51 Hey everyone; I mentioned in a previous e-mail that we’re rolling out a deployment of Observium, and we absolutely love the product. I know that it’s designed as a historical data gathering tool, but I am concerned about the storage requirements for the system.

Re: [Observium] Observium Storage Requirements

Observium uses red, which is fixed size round robin database. You can find information about how it works online. Perhaps we should document this too. Data usage for a single host shouldn't grow over time, except event log entries and the like. For an installation of that size you might want to use ssd or solid state ram drives. Spindles just won't survive the I/o load. Adam.

Re: [Observium] only interface counters wrapped

Interface counters update much quicker. Probably 500 times quicker than even packets in net stats.

Hey, So I just wondering is this normal when some of your counters wrapped (huge peak) while others are perfectly normal? I have device running for 1 years, 103 days, and only interface graph are wrapped while netstat are just perfectly fine. snmpwalk seems report that HC counters supported, device running 12.3 IOS.

False "device rebooted" message
by Stefano Lobrano 31 Mar '13

31 Mar '13

Hello List, I'm testing observium to monitor network devices in our datacenter, I've added a range of different devices and it seems all good, but today it has given me a false notice about a couple of nexus 5000 that are reported as "rebooted" while the switches are correctly reporting uptime of more than 600 days... All the other hosts are reported without errors, apparently. I've looked in the mailing list archive and I found similar issues, with server, but I understand that was something resolved. Where does observium takes the info about reboot? Observium is installed in a VM: Observium 0.13.3.3824 Apache 2.2.22 (Ubuntu) PHP 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.6 MySQL 5.5.29-0ubuntu0.12.04.2 RRDtool 1.4.7 Thanks, Stefano

IPMI issues

Hey guys, Its me, again. This time I'm wondering what's up with the IPMI feature? I gave my IPMI a hostname in /etc/hosts and set the proper username and password, and it's not showing any data like CPU temperatures.I have a feeling its not even polling anything from the IPMI. I have the Module called ipmi enabled on global and the device itself. The FAQ didn't seem to provide any info related to IPMI usage. Thanks.

Observium png files

Hello, I can see that png files are being created in the /tmp directory. However the rrdtool graph command is trying to access non-existent png files. The result is no graphs being displayed. Is this related to the strgen function ? Is my system somehow converting the random names of the png files to another name.png ? non-programmer.

Re: [Observium] Observium png files
by Adam Armstrong 28 Mar '13

Nope. The file is deleted after it is accessed, so you never knew it was there. There is a bug which doesn't delete them sometimes, which is why you see them. You probably need to reinstall and follow the install guide properly on a supported platform. Adam.

Sorry for the formatting issue, I had my mailing list set to bulk distributions, which I've changed, so I'm not replying to the latest messages. Okay, I'm not sure what the hell, but once I loaded up the net-snmp-utils it worked fine. So I'm assuming that some of the packages didn't load correctly. I'll re-install all of them just to see what happens. Thanks for the quick response Adam and Dean!

Hi there, I am a new user to Observium and seem to be having an issue with the options for "Ports" on a device. I currently have 2 devices hooked up, working fine.

I used this guide to install Observium (http://www.observium.org/wiki/Ubuntu_SVN_Installation). The only I changed was instead of doing addhost in the command line, I did it on the website instead.

No reply on community observium using v1 Could not reach routerDNSName with given SNMP community using v1 On the 6509, I have input the commands listed on the wiki: routerName#sh run | i snmp snmp-server community observium RO SNMPv4 snmp-server ifindex persist snmp-server location routerLocation snmp-server contact Michael Sweikata snmp ifmib ifindex persist routerName#sh ip access-list SNMPv4 Standard IP access list SNMPv4 10 permit 10.2.48.130 log The DNS name does resolve correctly, and there are no firewalls or access-restrictions on those two devices talking. I've not worked with SNMP much before, but I can say that this device did run SNMP correctly, as Ciscoworks is able to detect issues, and it is listening on UDP/161. Any help for troubleshooting this would be appreciated.

Hi Tom, A few Comware-based HP switches have been detected as ProCurve recently as well. I think it's due to bone-headed changes by HP in the sysDescr string they're returning (because, contrary to your commit message, everything HP Networking must be ProCurve-branded :-). If i grab some snmpwalk results, do you need any particular flags, or is just the content of the string enough? Regards, Paul

browsable archives and (sub)domains in hostnames
by Andreas Rüdel 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '13

Hi, Observium 1) I wonder: is there a searchable version of the mailing list archives somewhere? 2) I need some hint where I can change the behaviour of observium to cut avay domains after the first dot - we used subdomains to segment our hardware so now all devices are called the same on the overview screen. (alarms / events) Example: switch1.site1.country1 switch1.site2.country1 switch1.site1.country2 and so on.. (I know it's boring but we ran out of elven names at one point...) ;) on the overview page they would all be called "switch1" when I go to "devices" everything is just fine can this be changed somewhere? could not find in config.php and don't dare editing the other files thanks!

Observium Virtual Machines wrong OS Version
by observium＠velder.li 22 Mar '13

22 Mar '13

Hi there In the virtual machine overview (ESXi Host..), the os version is not correct. I added the VM to observium, when squeeze 6.0.6 was installed. Now it is 6.0.7 (since a few weeks) but observium still says 6.0.6. Is that a bug? Regards, Patrick

Observium Network Discovery
by Rizwan azher 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

Hi All, - How actually network discovery works for observium ? I mean do I have to just enable SNMP with same community and same Snmp version on all my devices so that observium can discover my whole networkor I jus have to add of single device name in config.apt and whole network will be autoatically discovered?..... and does observium also show me the whole map for my network ( connectivity b/w my devices)? and most important do i need to make any device as Seed device for my network ? from which it will automatically penetrate to whole network...Further more after discovering of my device can i filter those graphs so that I can only plot useful or main graphs - Can I also make groups to those graphs I mean is it possible that I can make a separate tab for my roters and the \n separate tab for switches etc. Thanks Rizwan

VMware ESXi hosts missing information
by Matt Hucker 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

Hi all, I'm using Observium r3791 to monitor a few VMware ESXi 5.1 hosts along with a mix of servers and network gear. All seems to be running well, except for the ESX hosts. When Observium polls the ESX hosts it seems to be missing a lot of information due to missing MIBs: My /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf has the mibdirs line as per the installation instructions. mibdirs /opt/observium/mibs It seems if I copy all of the mibs from the /opt/observium/mibs directory to /usr/share/mibs, then the poller seems to run OK. No more missing module errors. Is this expected behaviour? Partial debug poller output below: Observium Poller v0.13.3.3784 DEBUG! Starting polling run: SQL[SELECT `device_id` FROM `devices` WHERE `disabled` = 0 AND `hostname` LIKE 'esx01%' ORDER BY `device_id` ASC] SQL[SELECT * FROM `devices` WHERE `device_id` = '11'] SQL[SELECT * FROM devices_attribs WHERE `device_id` = '11'] esx01.prod.nrhosted.com 11 vmware DEBUG: SNMP Auth options = -v2c -c esx01 /usr/bin/snmpget -v2c -c esx01 -Oqv -m SNMPv2-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs udp:esx01.prod.nrhosted.com:161 sysObjectID.0 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.6876.4.1 RRD[update /opt/observium/rrd/esx01.prod.nrhosted.com/status.rrd N:1] OK u:0.01 s:0.00 r:0.07 RRD[update /opt/observium/rrd/esx01.prod.nrhosted.com/ping.rrd N:1.08] OK u:0.02 s:0.00 r:0.07 RRD[update /opt/observium/rrd/esx01.prod.nrhosted.com/ping_snmp.rrd N:46.31] DEBUG: SNMP Auth options = -v2c -c esx01 /usr/bin/snmpget -v2c -c esx01 -OQUs -m +VMWARE-ROOT-MIB:VMWARE-SYSTEM-MIB -M +/opt/observium/mibs/vmware udp:esx01.prod.nrhosted.com:161 VMWARE-SYSTEM-MIB::vmwProdName.0 VMWARE-SYSTEM-MIB::vmwProdVersion.0 VMWARE-SYSTEM-MIB::vmwProdBuild.0 MIB search path: /root/.snmp/mibs:/usr/share/mibs/site:/usr/share/snmp/mibs:/usr/share/mibs/iana:/usr/share/mibs/ietf:/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp:/opt/observium/mibs/vmware The first call to snmpget has the correct MIB path (/opt/observium/mibs), but the 2nd call to snmpget seems to only include the /opt/observium/mibs/vmware (leaving out /opt/observium/mibs) Consequently I get a lot of errors such as these: Cannot find module (SNMPv2-TC): At line 10 in /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-DLMOD-MIB Cannot find module (SNMPv2-SMI): At line 34 in /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-SNMP-MIB Cannot find module (SNMPv2-TC): At line 37 in /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-SNMP-MIB Did not find 'enterprises' in module #-1 (/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-SNMP-MIB) Did not find 'DisplayString' in module #-1 (/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-SNMP-MIB) Did not find 'TruthValue' in module #-1 (/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-SNMP-MIB) -- Cheers, Matt.

Application Stats

Hi!, what's the state of application data collection?. I had stats for mysql and apache on my original install, but after it's reincarnation the application collection doesn't seem to work any more, was that moved to the unix agent? We would like to include application counters to observium and most of them are custom developments. Today we have cacti installs everywhere, but having all that info in one place would be great.

Better for you, perhaps. Our policy is not to spoon feed information we have already provided in the install documentation. If you are not capable of following it, you should not be using observium. We only have limited time to work on the project and do not believe supporting lazy users is an efficient use of that time.

Poller performance
by Ciro Iriarte 16 Mar '13

16 Mar '13

Hi!, I've been running Observium on SLES11 for almost a year. This was on a 8 vCPU + 2GB RAM VMware guest with a 30GB RRD footprint. After adding about 320 new hosts (all of them, network gear) the RRD database went to 130GB and the little machine got peaks of 3k IOPS. The I/O wait was rather hi and the machine would suddently stop responding (Hypervisor stats showed 0% CPU usage). So, I've migrated the installation to a physical machine running Solaris 11 (I know, it's not supported) and without any tunning (mysql/zfs are candidates) I'm seeing polling of 41 devices in about an hour. Is this usual/expected? -- ./poller.php 0/24 February 13, 2013, 18:27 - 27 devices polled in 4048. secs ./poller.php 7/24 February 13, 2013, 18:27 - 27 devices polled in 4075. secs ./poller.php 0/24 February 13, 2013, 18:28 - 27 devices polled in 3803. secs ./poller.php 22/24 February 13, 2013, 18:28 - 27 devices polled in 4404. secs ./poller.php 3/24 February 13, 2013, 18:28 - 28 devices polled in 4417. secs -- IOPS climbed to 5k, comments?

Smokeping Integration
by Tim Calvin 16 Mar '13

16 Mar '13

Trying to get some assistance on integrating Smokeping into Observium. Unable to get the ping tab to appear under my devices. I have read the documentation and seem to have everything in order. Not sure if it is just the way I have the devices named or something else. Smokeping's html files are located at: /var/www/smokeping/ I have edited Observium's config.php to include the following: $config['smokeping']['dir'] = "/var/www/smokeping/"; Observium is using identical hostnames to the ones from the Smokeping config snippet below. I can access the Smokeping webpage and can verify it is working properly. Am I missing something? + dlls-asr9k_tlsn_net host = dlls-asr9k.tlsn.net + sant-asr9k_tlsn_net host = sant-asr9k.tlsn.net + mdld-asr9k_tlsn_net host = mdld-asr9k.tlsn.net Thanks in advance. Tim
