It requires SNMP contexts, which are a pain. We've been wary of using them because then can cause huge poller delays on devices which don't support them. Adam.

We could use device attributes to disable it if it fails. But that might trigger if the device went down mid-poll :-\ Adam.

ARP Table empty
by Tobias Brunner 15 Feb '13

15 Feb '13

Hi list, The "ARP Table" on all ports is empty (f.e. /device/device=95/tab=port/port=13844/view=arp/), I'm wondering why... Shouldn't there be listed all MAC addresses in the MAC address table ("show mac address-table")? Or is this really just the MAC<->IP table? If yes, are MAC addresses tables saved in the Observium database to see which MAC address is on which switchport? Looking at the "ARP Table" from all Ports (f.e. /device/device=95/tab=ports/view=arp/) there are MAC adresses which belongs to an IP address. All devices are Cisco Switches or Brocade Router.

speed up the poller with poller-wrapper.py
by Job Snijders 14 Feb '13

14 Feb '13

Hi all, Are you not sleeping well because there are gaps in your graphs? Do you feel like your observium poller isn't putting enough effort into its sole task of polling every device and completing that task in less than 5 minutes? Fear not, a dirty script called "poller-wrapper.py" is here! I wrote a small wrapper that has a slightly more modern approach to getting things done. An issue with the multiple poller instances approach[1] is that when a single instance has to poll a few slow devices, that single instance cannot finish its work in time, while the instances that already finished their portion of the work will not 'help' the instance with the slow devices. This wrapper script will create a Queue with all the work that has to be done and launch a number of threads which will take work from the Queue until the queue is empty. This distributes the workload over the instances move evenly, thus improving performance and thus making it more likely to finish all the polling work within 5 minutes. You can easily test what number of threads works well with your environment by running the script a few times manually, here I run the script with 32 threads: root@observium:/opt/observium# python poller-wrapper.py 32 worker Thread-23 finished device 75 in 9 seconds worker Thread-25 finished device 84 in 2 seconds worker Thread-21 finished device 81 in 5 seconds <SNIP> worker Thread-23 finished device 98 in 81 seconds worker Thread-3 finished device 94 in 116 seconds worker Thread-32 finished device 93 in 126 seconds poller-wrapper polled 130 devices in 179 seconds with 32 workers root@observium:/opt/observium# Source: ------- URL: http://noc.as5580.net/~job/observium-poller-wrapper.py.txt Installation: ------------- cd /opt/observium wget http://noc.as5580.net/~job/observium-poller-wrapper.py.txt -O poller-wrapper.py Now open poller-wrapper.py with a text editor to change the database username & password. open /etc/cron.d/observium and replace this line: */5 * * * * root /opt/observium/poller.php -h all >> /dev/null 2>&1 with something like this: */5 * * * * root python /opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py 16 >> /dev/null 2>&1 Kind regards, Job Snijders Atrato IP Networks [1] http://www.observium.org/wiki/Performance_tuning#Multiple_poller_instances

Hosting/server/device donation.
by Adam Armstrong 08 Feb '13

08 Feb '13

Hi All, We've had quite a few offers of hosting recently, so I thought I'd explain why we don't take them and give some suggestions on else people could do instead. Firstly, we don't accept offers of hosting for the websites and repository of the project because we don't want to be beholden to anyone who could change their minds. It would likely cause significant disruption if we were to have the plug pulled on a donated server out of the blue! One of the big problems with writing and maintaining something like Observium is that it's difficult to ensure that everything works after changes. As we refactor code and add new features, support for specific devices sometimes acquires bugs or simply stops working. So one of the things which would be helpful would be access to various kinds of devices to add to the http://demo.observium.org installation both to better advertise the features of Observium as well as making sure bugs are found more quickly. For example, thanks to the SNMP access to a 7200 recently provided by Crosstel, we'll soon fix some bugs that left the Cisco MAC accounting feature broken since we switched to using MySQL memory tables for state. :) Thanks, adam. (also, don't forget to give us all of your cash because we are awesome, ok?)

Issues monitoring an SRX cluster
by Jacob Gardiner 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

Hi all, Firstly - Cheers Adam et all for the development. I'm looking to see if anybody has had any luck properly monitoring a Juniper SRX cluster. We've got a couple up and running at the moment, in addition to some J-series units that we'll probably replace with another pair of SRXs in the future but we've been running into some issues. Basically when adding the host to observium, everything works a treat as usual. Devices get detected properly, node0 & node1's routing engines get detected properly and we can see two different graphs for each in relation to processor, memory, temperature etc. However when polling the interfaces, we get a zero response for bps. This behavior happens on all interfaces except the lo0.X interfaces and fxpX interfaces. (They show graphs and results). I've run a poll via cmdline with the -d flag and can see that the poller is definitely seeing a 0 response from all of the other interfaces, output looks something like: <paste> SQL[INSERT INTO `ports-state` (`port_id`) VALUES ('2151')] state inserted SQL[UPDATE `ports-state` set `poll_time` ='1359075465',`poll_period` ='153',`ifInOctets` ='',`ifInOctets_rate` ='0',`ifInOctets_delta` ='0',`ifOutOctets` ='',`ifOutOctets_rate` ='0',`ifOutOctets_delta` ='0',`ifInErrors` ='',`ifInErrors_rate` ='0',`ifInErrors_delta` ='0',`ifOutErrors` ='',`ifOutErrors_rate` ='0',`ifOutErrors_delta` ='0',`ifInUcastPkts` ='',`ifInUcastPkts_rate` ='0',`ifInUcastPkts_delta` ='0',`ifOutUcastPkts` ='',`ifOutUcastPkts_rate` ='0',`ifOutUcastPkts_delta` ='0',`ifInOctets_perc` ='0',`ifOutOctets_perc` ='0',`ifOctets_rate` ='0',`ifUcastPkts_rate` ='0',`ifErrors_rate` ='0' WHERE `port_id` = '2151'] 1 updated Port reth0(568) VLAN == ifInOctets (0 B) 0 Bps 153 secs ifOutOctets (0 B) 0 Bps 153 secs ifInErrors (0 B) 0 Bps 153 secs ifOutErrors (0 B) 0 Bps 153 secs ifInUcastPkts (0 B) 0 Bps 153 secs ifOutUcastPkts (0 B) 0 Bps 153 secs bps(0bps/0bps)bytes(0B/0B)pkts(0pps/0pps)OK u:0.00 s:0.03 r:50.09 </paste> My first impression is that it's the MIB incorrectly polling the device, Can anybody confirm?

apache application error after upgrade
by ColoCenter bv 29 Jan '13

29 Jan '13

After some efforts I got the apache application plugin for observium working for a certain server. I was at first stuck with a missing module of PERL(LWP::Simple) It was working fine till today when i upgraded apache from 2.2.19 to 2.2.23. Not a very big upgrade, but now the apache script of observium is not working anymore. If I execute it manually it produces the following error: [root@server01 agent-local]# perl apache Data fetch failure. Any suggestions what might be causing this or where to look for an answer or more detailed error message and how to solve it?

Re: [Observium] Poller performance
by Adam Armstrong 24 Jan '13

24 Jan '13

Observium scales primarily on the number of interfaces you have, as they account for the majority of I/o. 128 switches would be a large install, 128 servers would not. You should try running 2 or 3 pollers if your server's disk is not too heavily loaded. If you are only using one poller then your disk is waiting for SNMP was dating time. Memcached was replaced with mysql memory tables, which you are already using :-) Rrdcached seems to make little difference to me. I have my installs running in a ramdisk, as that removes the i/o bottleneck entirely. Adam.

Poller performance

Hi, I have some performance troubles with the poller, it takes a bit more than 5 minutes to finish. There are 128 devices to poll... Looking at the "Performance tuning" wiki page and the mailing list, I implemented the following tweaks: * Using poller-wrapper from Job Snijders ("Multiple poller instances" was really bad, polling took about 10 minutes) * Activated RRDcached Putting the RRDs on a Ramdisk is not a solution for me (too less memory). Does memcache work with the current SVN build? What other options for performance tuning do I have? One idea was to have "worker" server which only poll a subset of devices and report the values back to the master. Is something like that possible? Which resources need the most I/O? RRD or MySQL?

Postgres monitor script

Afternoon all, have my apache working nicely, mysql and moving through the list of to-do's. Next is our primary DB which is running postgres.

Looking at the install http://www.observium.org/wiki/Application/Postgresqlthe only thing left from that section and my notes from mysql is to copy the script from the local observium server (under /opt/observium/scripts/agent-local) to the postgres server and update the config with the user/pass but those files are not there. I also don't see postgres listed in the applications list for the device. Is postgres not supported anymore? -- *e*. lraymond(a)weatherflow.com *c.* 386.561.1509 *f.* 386.409.5178

Function scope issues?
by Paul Gear 11 Jan '13

11 Jan '13

Hi all, I'm just looking into a couple of nagging problems on my Observium install and i found this: 1. includes/discovery/discovery-protocols.inc.php uses ifNameDescr(), which is defined in includes/rewrites.php (called from includes/functions.php). 2. ifNameDescr() is a wrapper around ifLabel(), which itself is a wrapper around humanize_port() 3. humanize_port() calls humanspeed(), which is defined in html/includes/functions.inc.php This seems to indicate that ifNameDescr/ifLabel/humanize port, when called from discovery functions, will never work. Is this intentional? Or should humanspeed() (and possibly others of its peers within html/includes/functions.inc.php) be moved to includes/rewrites.php? Regards, Paul

Good Evening, I was able to get Observium up and running with no issues, but I do have a bit of an odd situation. I happen to have a server that I wish to monitor that has over 300 PPP interfaces. Observium is attempting to poll them, and its hammering the server hard, and Observium. Is there a way to remove polling of interfaces (or maybe just ppp interfaces) on that server? Thanks!

I will try to give as much on the 1st post as I do now understand how the agents work a bit more (Thanks Adam) so the info and questions are; Unix-agent is installed, enabled, port is open, and I can hit the server-status from the observium server via curl; curl stats.domain.com/server-status <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN"> <html><head> <title>Apache Status</title> </head><body> <h1>Apache Server Status for stats.domain.com</h1> <dl><dt>Server Version: Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.3.10-1ubuntu3.4 with Suhosin-Patch</dt> <dt>Server Built: Nov 8 2012 21:37:30 </dt></dl><hr /><dl> <dt>Current Time: Wednesday, 09-Jan-2013 04:00:49 UTC</dt> <dt>Restart Time: Tuesday, 08-Jan-2013 20:58:01 UTC</dt> <dt>Parent Server Generation: 3</dt> <dt>Server uptime: 7 hours 2 minutes 47 seconds</dt> <dt>Total accesses: 651 - Total Traffic: 1.7 MB</dt> <dt>CPU Usage: u9.48 s1.89 cu0 cs0 - .0448% CPU load</dt> <dt>.0257 requests/sec - 71 B/second - 2773 B/request</dt> <dt>1 requests currently being processed, 9 idle workers</dt> Using the poller command to test server; ubuntu@websvr1:/opt/observium$ ./poller.php -v -h stats.domain.com Observium Poller v0.12.11.3407 Starting polling run: stats.domain.com 5 linux (unix) Observium UNIX Agent: execution time: 328ms Processes: Sensors: Using UNIX Agent Uptime (2877622) Uptime: 33 days, 7h 20m 22s Hardware: Generic x86 64-bit Version: 3.2.0-31-virtual Features: /usr/bin/distro: No such file or directory Serial: IPMI: Processor Intel Xeon E5507 @ 2.27GHz 1% Mempool Physical memory: 79.6% Mempool Virtual memory: 51.63% Mempool Swap space: 0.01% Storage /: 17% Storage /mnt: 0% Polling Netstats: IP TCP UDP ICMP SNMP HR Stats: Processes Users Polling IP-MIB ipSystemStats ipv4 ipv6 Caching Oids: ifEntry ifXEntry dot3StatsDuplexStatusvalidvalid Port lo(1) HC HC VLAN == bps(0bps/0bps)bytes(0B/0B)pkts(0pps/0pps) Port eth0(2) HC HC VLAN == bps(1.32kbps/4kbps)bytes(4.83kB/14.6kB)pkts(2.2pps/2.2pps) Checking UCD DiskIO MIB: xvda1 xvdb xvda3 OSPF: Processes: Areas: Ports: Neighbours: Entity Physical: Applications: agent uptime netstat_ip netstat_ip_frag netstat_tcp netstat_udp netstat_icmp netstat_icmp_info netstat_snmp netstat_snmp_pkt hr_processes hr_users ucd_cpu ucd_swap_io ucd_io ucd_contexts ucd_interrupts ucd_memory ucd_load ipsystemstats_ipv4 ipsystemstats_ipv4_frag ipsystemstats_ipv6 ipsystemstats_ipv6_frag Polled in 4.680 seconds UPDATED!

Adding mysql monitoring
by Lance Raymond 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

Checking out http://www.observium.org/wiki/Application/MySQL#Requirementsand seems pretty straight forward. I have my server running, added that box and see it collecting data now. php5-cli and php-mysql are installed on both the server and mysql server I wish to monitor, but nothing has been added and not sure how to force check, add, etc. Docs are simple enough; I created the user with access on the remote server. Then the steps are simply; *Copy* the mysql script *from scripts/agent-local/* in your observium install to */usr/local/check_mk_agent/local/* (/usr/lib/check_mk_agent/local/ on Debian systems) the *server* you wish to monitor. The remote server is running ubuntu, so I create a folder; /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/local with 2 files; mysql (script) mysql.cnf I can run the script locally and get a lot of data (here is a sample); root@mysql101:/usr/lib/check_mk_agent/local# ./mysql <<<mysql>>> a0:13362926 a1:50929 a2:4796992 a3:287789 So is it something on the server end I need to add/edit?

Aggrgation, Nagios Check, Graph Caching
by Tobias Brunner 01 Jan '13

01 Jan '13

Hi, After using Observium for some time I have some ideas and questions: * Is it possible to create aggregated graphs? F.e. I'd like to aggregate all uplinks (which are on different routers) into one big graph (all uplinks as a single line, in one graph (overlay). And the traffic aggregated). * This could maybe end up in a Dashboard, which shows me an overview of what's going on in the network. (Aggregated Graphs, Top Ports, Recent Syslog, High Values, ...) * I'd like to check some values collected by Observium with Nagios to generate an Alert (F.e. the temperatures, dBm, ...). This could be a plugin like "check_observium <device> <type> <thresholds>". How can I access the raw data in Observium from outside? Is there something like this available, or does it need to be written? My main concern is to have just one tool which Polls the devices and get the collected data out of it. I don't want to have many tools which are all doing SNMP. One single tool should be enough. * How can I get the graphs out of Observium to display in another tool? * Are there any caching mechanisms for the Graphs? Everytime I hover over a link which creates a Pop-Up the graphs are being generated. What about caching the generated graphs for f.e. 5 minutes? Cheers and thanks a lot for this great tool!

Logstash and Observium
by Tobias Brunner 31 Dec '12

31 Dec '12

Hi everyone, We are using Logstash to collect Syslog messages from our network gear. Here is a way to send the collected messages to Observium: * Define a IOS filter in Logstash filter { ### IOS Grok grok { type => "syslog" pattern => [ "<%{POSINT:syslog_pri}>%{SYSLOGTIMESTAMP:syslog_timestamp} %{SYSLOGHOST:syslog_hostname} %{DATA:cisco_dummyvalue}: %{DATA:cisco_timestamp}: \%%{DATA:cisco_eventcode}: %{GREEDYDATA:syslog_message}" ] add_field => [ "received_at", "%{@timestamp}" ] add_field => [ "received_from", "%{@source_host}" ] } } * Add the following output to logstash: output { pipe { command => "/usr/bin/php /opt/observium/syslog.php" message_format => "%{@source_host}||%{syslog_facility}||%{syslog_severity_code}||%{syslog_severity}||00||%{@timestamp}||%{cisco_dummyvalue}: &{cisco_timestamp}: %%{cisco_eventcode}: %{@message}||cisco" } } As I did not find a way to convert the @timestamp field of Logstash to the needed format, there is one additional line in syslog.php needed: --- syslog.php.orig 2012-12-21 11:28:41.741696532 +0100 +++ syslog.php 2012-12-29 11:58:59.790246786 +0100 @@ -28,6 +28,8 @@ { #logfile($line); list($entry['host'],$entry['facility'],$entry['priority'], $entry['level'], $entry['tag'], $entry['timestamp'], $entry['msg'], $entry['program']) = explode("||", trim($line)); + ## reformat timestamp + $entry['timestamp'] = date("Y-m-d H:i:s",strtotime($entry['timestamp'])); process_syslog($entry, 1); unset($entry); unset($line); $i++; And I was also not able to find a value for the fields "TAG" and "PROGRAM" for the message_format. So I hardcoded them as "OO" and "cisco". This works for me.

Hello all, I have the fallowing UPS's With APC 9617 Management cards Smart-UPS 1000 600.3.D Does not report Current draw Smart-UPS RT 2000 XL 801.3.D Everything works SMART-UPS 2200 80.11.D Does not report Current draw Everything else is reporting just not the draw on the other UPS's I have updated to APC Management Module AOS v3.7.3 / App v3.7.2 Can I Upgrade the Firmware on the UPS its self? Still Only the 2000 XL reports Current If I could ask it would be nice to see the Runtime on the UPS. Any sugestions on how to fix the current for the 1000 & 2200 UPS's I know there older UPS's but they work very well and was looking at getting more 1000's down the road but if I have to go with a newer UPS to get this to work that's ok to. Thanks, Mike

No Devices Shown in New Installation
by Mark Kamichoff 24 Dec '12

24 Dec '12

Hi - Warning: Here's another one of the "I installed it but it doesn't work!" e-mails. I recently setup Observium (SVN from Dec 23, 2012) on a Debian testing/unstable x86_64-based host. I followed all of the instructions with the exception of the installation of libvirt packages (I don't appear to have a need for it) and although I appear to have successfully added devices, none of them show up in the web UI. The three devices I've added are the following: o Juniper SRX100 o FreeBSD x86_64 Host o Linux x86_64 Host According to observium.log the cron jobs are running fine and the devices are being polled: (atlantis:16:44)# tail -n 8 observium.log /opt/observium/poller.php all December 24, 2012, 16:25 - 3 devices polled in 21.97 secs /opt/observium/discovery.php new December 24, 2012, 16:30 - 0 devices discovered in 0.001 secs /opt/observium/poller.php all December 24, 2012, 16:30 - 3 devices polled in 21.46 secs /opt/observium/discovery.php new December 24, 2012, 16:35 - 0 devices discovered in 0.002 secs /opt/observium/poller.php all December 24, 2012, 16:35 - 3 devices polled in 21.41 secs /opt/observium/discovery.php new December 24, 2012, 16:40 - 0 devices discovered in 0.002 secs /opt/observium/poller.php all December 24, 2012, 16:40 - 3 devices polled in 21.97 secs /opt/observium/discovery.php new December 24, 2012, 16:45 - 0 devices discovered in 0.000 secs I'm not sure exactly what check-errors.php does (maybe it just checks the RRDs), but it seems to indicate that there aren't any glaring issues: (atlantis:16:45)# ./check-errors.php Checked 80 interfaces 0 interfaces with errors over the past 5 minutes. I even looked in the MySQL DB and the `devices` table seems to be populated correctly. The problem is that the web UI doesn't show any devices: http://www.prolixium.com/share/screens/observium-devices.png However, if I navigate to System -> About Observium, the statistics table shows devices, interfaces, CPUs, etc.: http://www.prolixium.com/share/screens/observium-stats.png I've got to be missing something obvious. I thought the user I created might not have sufficient privileges, but I created the user "prox" with privilege level 10. The only thing that did not go 100% as expected was the DB schema load. The instructions indicated that errors in the SQL revisions /up to/ 006 will be expected, but I saw two errors past revision 006: (atlantis:18:06)# php includes/sql-schema/update.php -- Updating database schema 000 -> 001 ... done. 001 -> 002 ... done. 002 -> 003 ... done. 003 -> 004 ... done. 004 -> 005 ... done. 005 -> 006 ... done. 006 -> 007 ... done (1 errors). 007 -> 008 ... done.

Here is some package information: mysql-server-5.5 5.5.24+dfsg-9 libapache2-mod-php5 5.4.4-10 apache2-mpm-prefork 2.2.22-12 There appear to be no PHP errors in the Apache error log I setup for the Observium virtual host. Is there anything else I should check? Oh, I'm using Google Chrome 23.0.1271.101 on MacOS 10.8 (at the moment, at least).

Cisco MPLS networks with pseudowires
by Adam Armstrong 24 Dec '12

24 Dec '12

All, I'm looking at rewriting the Cisco pseudowire code, as it basically doesn't work properly at all. Do any of you have a small network using pseudowires (MPLS and/or L2TPv3) you don't mind giving SNMP access to, or a bunch of spare lab routers you could spare for a while to put up a test network? Only Cisco is really relevant at the moment, as the MIBs for doing this are vendor specific! :( Thanks, adam.

syslog date error

Hi I've got syslog working like a charm... My devices are logging to my observium installation and the /syslog page are displaying everything nicely. But today something weird happened. The time is now 11:18 on december the 20th. But on the syslog page it says: Recent Syslog Messages 20th Dec 23:59:55 fw10 FILTERDNS : host_dns: failed looking up "CBB": hostname nor servname provided, or not known If i take a look in the database, the last syslog message is this one: 7 1 4 4 filterdns: 2012-12-20 11:15:03 FILTERDNS host_dns: failed looking up "TMP": hostname nor s... 1987 What's going on? :) BR Stefan Milo

esxi 5.1 cpu graph not working properly

Hi I am having some issues with the CPU graph in my home lab with a small server running esxi 5.1 with a dual core amd cpu. I have attached a screenshot of the problem. The graph in observium seems to be following a path of its own. Even when doing som cpu burn tests, nothing happens. Any ideas? BR Stefan Milo Happy holidays

IPSEC tunnel count continuously increments
by Alex Pressé 20 Dec '12

20 Dec '12

I've built a DMVPN test network with one hub and one spoke and upon monitoring them, I notice the graph for IPSEC Active Tunnels (/graphs/type=device_cipsec_flow_tunnels) increments by one every hour - only on the spoke router, not on the hub. So I'm wondering where Observium is grabbing that piece of data from? Which SNMP OID? If I do a "show crypto eli" on the spoke, I have 2 active sessions (Observium now reports 66), and 12 on the hub (Observium reports 5). Any ideas? Thanks! -- Alex Presse "How much net work could a network work if a network could net work?"

voice monitoring anyone intersted?
by Nikolay Shopik 14 Dec '12

14 Dec '12

So just wondering is anyone interested in voice monitoring stuff to get added into observium? Lets say DIAL-CONTROL-MIB which allow you to know how much calls your current device processing + some success/failure/errors rate. Anyone using voice gateways here on looking forward for these features?

popup overview graph set positioning
by christopher barry 14 Dec '12

14 Dec '12

Greetings, Nice looking application. Playing with the demo now, and noticing that when I hover over a link (e.g. postman.memetic.org on URL http://demo.observium.org/devices/type=server/) it produces a slick overview popup. Unfortunately, much of the popup is below the edge of my browser, and moving my mouse makes the popup go away. I'm using chrome on debian wheezy, and I was wondering if this was the reason, or if the popup is just pinned to the mouse location. Seems like having the popup auto-adjust position to ensure it stays on the page would be a good optimization. It's also possible there is a workaround/preference I am unaware of (played with it for all of 10 minutes so far). -C

Billing
by Adam Summerfield 13 Dec '12

One last issue, With latest version if you add two ports to a bill the description for the first entry shows under the second item and the description for the second item is not seen. If you have more than 2 interfaces in the bill - then the interface description information is offset by one and you don't see the last description.
