NLNOG Ring
by Adam Armstrong 01 May '12

01 May '12

Hi All, I'd like to direct your attention to another project run by some friends of mine: the NLNOG RING. The project is based around the goals of making network debugging much easier. When trying to debug complex problems and plan future upgrades, a point of view from outside your network is absolutely essential. Seeing what others see is incredibly useful when dealing with a variety of network problems. Well known examples are 'it works for even numbered ip address, but not for odd numbered ip address via this and this route'. To streamline such debugging the NLNOG RING was formed. In essence the project is very simple: you make a (virtual) machine available to the RING, and you gain access on all other servers which are part of the RING. The project currently has 98 nodes, located on 89 participant networks in 24 countries. The RING provides tools to trivially launch a ping from all these nodes and summarize the results to, other examples are distributed tracerouting and MTU testing. The RING also maintains a record of latencies between nodes using smokeping to help identify historic problems. Before applying to join, keep the following requirements in mind: * The organisation you work for has BGP routers connected to the "Default Free Zone". * Your organisation has its own ASN, IPv4 and IPv6 prefix(es). * You have enable or configure rights on those routers. * You have permission from your organisation to become involved in the NLNOG RING. Have a look at https://ring.nlnog.net/for more information. You can also email ring-admins(a)ring.nlnog.net with any questions you have. adam.

Subdirectory
by churnd dnruhc 01 May '12

01 May '12

Is it possible to use observium on a webserver as a subdirectory, i.e. https://server/observium? I'm a small shop that's part of a bigger organization & I don't have access to DNS to create a subdomain. Apologies if this has been answered already. I did a quick search & saw a similar question asked, but the thread didn't seem to contain an answer I could see. TIA

problem with Sentry3-MIB, 3 phase CDU's
by Darrell Budic 21 Apr '12

21 Apr '12

Hi, Running Observium 0.11.12.2749 on SL5 for this issue. Updated to 3069 and still has the same issues. But anyway: Noticed my Sentry CDU's were not picking up current or voltage information, tracked it down to a issue with the MIB. Not sure if it's the MIB in general or my version of the snmp utilities, but the discovery module complains it can't find the MIB when run in debug mode. Turns out my snmpget doesn't like the whitespace before the "Sentry3-MIB DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN" line. I removed the whitespace and discovered the sensors. Then I noticed I had 3 phase CDU's, and the discovery code for the Sentrys only deals with 1 phase units. Here's the diffs of my hack to enable detection of all 3 phases. I think this will work on single phase units as well, although it will probably take a little longer as it scans for the nonexistent phases. I have no single phase units to test it on, however, so YMMV. 16c16,20 < $infeed_oids = snmp_walk($device, "infeedID.$towers.1", "-Osqn", "Sentry3-MIB"); --- > # These PDUs may have > 1 infeed for 3 phase systems > $phase=1; > while ($phase <= 3) { > > $infeed_oids = snmp_walk($device, "infeedID.$towers.$phase", "-Osqn", "Sentry3-MIB"); 31c35 < $infeed_oid = "1.3.6.1.4.1.1718.3.2.2.1.7." . $towers .

Remove ports from Web Overview
by Philip Möller 16 Apr '12

16 Apr '12

Hi, I have a performance issue with the Observium Web Interface. The Apache2 webserver needs about 4-5 minutes to load all graphs of some devices. The devices are CISCO NEXUS 5548 switches with CISCO NEXUS 2248 FEX (Fabric Extenders). One 5548 switch will have about 7488 Interfaces when fully populated (48 local interfaces + 48 local virtual interfaces + 24 * 52 + 52 interfaces for the extenders). I do not need to monitor or graph all the edge / access layer ports but only the backbone ports ( 144 ports ). As far as I understand the documentation all ports flagged as disabled are not polled any more and all ports that are deleted are not shown by the Apache2. Unfortunately the poller.php run updates disabled = 0 for all ports found on the device and they are back in the web interface overview. I cannot find the statement in the poller.php debug output but all Ports with deleted = 1 set manually are updated to deleted = 0 after a poller.php run. My question is if there is any way to delete available ports I do not want to have in the web overview or to drain those ports from the web interface.

Re: [Observium] Date Picker broken

Hi Folks, same issue as Bruce - setting the Date Picker reverts you back to the start-page. Normally, when opening a graph the url is something like: http://observium/graphs/type=customer_bits/to=1334238800/id=server/from=133… Now when changing the time-range and klicking "update" the URL is beeing transformed into: http://observium/index.php/graphs/type=customer_bits/to=1334238800/id=serve… When i remove the index.php from the url i am getting the desired result.

PIX 501 support
by Chris Stone 06 Apr '12

I have a couple of Cisco PIX 501's setup in Observium, but they are being seen only as Generic Devices: Cisco PIX Firewall Version 6.3(5) Operating System Generic Device Contact support(a)axint.net Location Denver, CO Uptime 291 days, 22h 45m 55s And the only graphs I am getting are Uptime and the ethernet port counters (traffic, packets, etc). Nothing for memory or cpu. Both firewalls are the same - here's the info on one of them: voip-fw# show ver Cisco PIX Firewall Version 6.3(5) Cisco PIX Device Manager Version 3.0(4) Compiled on Thu 04-Aug-05 21:40 by morlee voip-fw up 291 days 22 hours Hardware: PIX-501, 16 MB RAM, CPU Am5x86 133 MHz Flash E28F640J3 @ 0x3000000, 8MB BIOS Flash E28F640J3 @ 0xfffd8000, 128KB 0: ethernet0: address is 0016.c836.223a, irq 9 1: ethernet1: address is 0016.c836.223c, irq 10 Licensed Features: Failover: Disabled VPN-DES: Enabled VPN-3DES-AES: Enabled Maximum Physical Interfaces: 2 Maximum Interfaces: 2 Cut-through Proxy: Enabled Guards: Enabled URL-filtering: Enabled Inside Hosts: 10 Throughput: Unlimited IKE peers: 10 My understanding was that PIX firewalls were supported. Is what I am getting all the support there currently is? Or is there something else I need to do to enable cpu and memory counters. I had them setup in Cacti previously, so it would seem that the SNMP counters do exist. -- Chris Stone AxisInternet, Inc. www.axint.net

Hi Adam, I am having a strange issues which I need your help in troubleshooting. I have this 7606 which has ATM interfaces configured but the problem is that when I discover this device, all the interfaces are discovered include ATM ones but as soon as the poller runs, they disappear again. I am not sure how to fix this issues. I am running the latest version of Observium. Thanks for your help.

Re: [Observium] poller doesn’t kick the apache-stats.py script
by Andrew Beals 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

Rather than modifying the poller script, simply commenting out the "mibs :" line at the bottom of /etc/snmp/snmp.conf on your Observium server box is sufficient to get the polling to work correctly. Ubuntu put that line in citing "licensing issues" with the MIBs.

rrd time selection is wrong
by Nikolay Shopik 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

It seems like when you select time to show graph it doesn't take in consideration timezone. Basically if I select from 18:00 till now and press update time in "From" field update to 22:00 (I have GMT+4 zone). You can click update multiply times and graph time will be moving after each click.

SNMPv3 implementation
by Guillaume Leclanche 31 Mar '12

31 Mar '12

Hello, attached is the patch for the implementation of SNMPv3. I've been testing it on my system and devices, and it seems to be working properly. Since it's a core function of the soft, I guess it would be good that other people give it a try before it is committed. I use NET-SNMP version: 5.4.3. Be careful that a few files use direct calls to net-snmp instead of calling observium library functions. It means that those calls will not work with an snmpv3 device. includes/discovery/cisco-mac-accounting.inc.php: $datas = shell_exec($config['snmpbulkwalk'] . " -M ".$config['mibdir']." -m CISCO-IP-STAT-MIB -Oqn -".$device['snmpver']." -c ".$device['community']."

Cisco-vrf discovery - huge performance improvement
by Guillaume Leclanche 31 Mar '12

31 Mar '12

Hi, As I wanted to make Cisco VRF discovery SNMPv3-compatible, I realized that it was actually very slow. So I change the philosophy of it (bulkwalk all SNMP info first then analyze in the code), and here's the result for a device with 500 VRFs: Old version : Discovered in 65.83 seconds New version : Discovered in 3.234 seconds At the same time I made it SNMPv3-compatible, and I added the support for CISCO-L3VPN-STD-MIB that is the more recent MIB and the only one supported on the latest releases of IOS/IOS-XR. I tested it with Cisco Hw and it's fine, but for the other vendors implementing the MIB, somebody else will have to test it :) Guillaume

Legend shows not-existent interfaces

When you open Total Traffic graph, you may see in Legend interfaces which doesn't really exist on this device. Additionally sometimes you may see duplicate interfaces in Legend, which do exist. I wonder what may cause of this and to fix it?

Get Interface UP and DOWN mails for ignored ports since about r2922

Hi Adam and All since about r2922 I get DOWN and UP alert mail for Ports ignored by $config['bad_if_regexp'][] = "/^tnl[0-9]/"; Looks like this is not checked when sending mail, only on the web front end.

bug report: Billing Traffic
by Timbo a la Bazzi 16 Mar '12

16 Mar '12

Hi There, How can I make a bug report? The forum is closed for registration, the bugtracker also, so I hope this is the correct way and I can help in the future maybe, because the software is awesome! I have the following situation: The polling is done correctly and it shows the same results as cacti for my switch. Buw when I add billing and make a bill for a port with Quota the first time I add for example 20GB it shows like 20B. If i then edit it it shows correctly as 20GB (so not 2.0E-8), so there is a work around. When I add a bill for multiple ports the sum is totally wrong. For example. I made a bill of 5 ports and 5 bills of each port, so I can check. If a manually sum the 5 bills/ports I get around 80GB. But when I look at the SUMMED bill it says 1.47PB I have added the billing feature this way: http://www.observium.org/wiki/Billing What am I doing wrong and if it is a bug how can I correct it? So there are 2 problems: initial quota is set wrong, but can be corrected. -> Bug with a work around quota calculated to high values -> bug or misconfiguration, but I can't find anything about it: So you can see the sum of the 5 ports are 9.36Gbps and it are 5x 100MBit ports ;-) The switch that I am monitoring is a HP2524 Thanks in advance!

Traffic
by Nuno Dias 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

Hi, I'm testing the observium and already added a couple of devices, (several switch one router and some linux boxes) All this devices have at least 1Gb network cards or ports in the case of switchs, some have 10Gb ports. But in my graphs I have at most 100/120 Mb peaks, but I'm sure that I have more traffic in some ports, because I have other monitoring system (cacti) showing that. I remember that in cacti I had to configure the counters to be 64-bits and convert bytes in bits. So, do I need to configure in observium this kind of things? if yes where? or this is some kind of bug? Thanks Nuno -- Nuno Dias <ndias(a)lip.pt> LIP

Would it be possible to limit access to a set of devices?. >From what I know, the only way right now would be to have many observium instances for different people, but that would be an issue if some people would like to see all the hardware....

Hey Adam, Just quick note, that widescreen mode on ports graph doesn't working property. These 4 graphs should fill all available width, but instead using proportion from normal mode. And I wonder if there way we could able to select multiply different port types, like transit+peering. I mean come up with different control where you could select not only one state?

Since then it doesn't appear to have made any effort to re-create the RRD file :( So, any ideas on why this one element would stop working suddenly?

Feature Request/Suggestion: Trending
by Ciro Iriarte 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

Hi, it would be really helpful for Capacity Planning to include Trending support, as far as I know, RRDTool already has support for it. Maybe adding trending on all graphs is not the best option, because for one graph there are many data sources, and while one can choose what one thinks would be the most obvious candidate another user might need to do the trending using other datasource... Maybe adding a separate TAB where one can choose what to graph with trending would be the most "universal" solution, or maybe a mix of both, graph the obvious by default and enable and "advanced" tab for trending on demand...

VLAN Tabs missing?
by Bruce-Young Majola 23 Jan '12

23 Jan '12

Hi, I just upgraded to the latest version and I noticed that the VLAN Tab is now gone. Although I can still see what VLAN; VLAN number to be precise; an interface belongs to under the device Ports tab, I cannot see any VLAN name like I used to before. Is this by design or has something gone awry with the later code releases? Regards, Bruce DISCLAIMER: The information in this message is confidential and may be legally privileged.

Initial doubts
by Ciro Iriarte 22 Jan '12

22 Jan '12

Hi, I posted some questions in the forum, but the maillist seems to be a lot more active, so I'll summarize them here: 1- Trending Support: Is that on the roadmap?, from what I've read RRD already supports trending.. 2- Collectd: I see there's support for collectd, should I implement it alongside observium?, would that duplicate data?. Which version works nice with observium?, 4.10 or 5.0? Regards, -- Ciro Iriarte http://cyruspy.wordpress.com --

Patch to monitor by-outlet APC MasterSwitch bars
by Jordan Kirby 08 Dec '11

08 Dec '11

Hi, We have recently installed some APC power bars that can be monitored by outlet (AP8653). I have written a patch for Observium (attached) that creates sensor for each of the ports on a AP8653. The patch also includes getting the input voltage for the newer "rPDU2" type power bars. I found the snmp queries to be slow against these new apcs when returning the current information, hence the increased timeout. Any suggestions/improvements are more than welcome! Regards Jordan

Abnormal spike in billing graphs - r2719
by Berant Lemmenes 23 Nov '11

23 Nov '11

Hello, I've just recently setup Observium and noticed a strange spike in reported usage for one billing item, that wasn't reported in the actual interfaces stats. I've attached three screen shots, one of the accurate billing page for the billing entry in question, the 2nd for the interface page under the device, and the 3rd for the same interface as seen from a cricket install. As you can see the physical interface graphs in Observium or cricket don't show this extended period of ~ 8Gb/s that show up in the mysql based graphs. Looking at bill_data for the bill_id in question there were 45 entries where in_delta was exactly 309525032051591 while out_delta continues to change. Here is an example row: 31, 2011-11-10 17:35:06, 299, 309525032052787, 309525032051591, 1196 This has only manifested in this one billing. Let me know if there is anything else I can look at or provide that would assist. Thank you in advance. Thanks, Berant

Billing question
by Berant Lemmenes 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

I have a quick question to confirm what data is used to determine an overage... I believe I'm understanding the code/database correctly in that it calculates the 95th percentile for both in and out (rate_95th_in/rate_95th_out) and then whichever one is larger is stored as rate_95th and that is what is used for the value that the overage is based on. I just ask because we see ~4-5 times more entries that are over their limit with Observium than with our previous system (which granted was horribly cobbled together, and last maintained in the early 00's), and I just wanted to make sure it wasn't taking the sum of in and out for the calculation. Thanks! Berant

Cisco ASA Remote Access Sessions getting Error Drawing Graph
by Jeff Collyer 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

Using Observium to monitor several pairs of Cisco ASA 5520 firewalls. On the graphs/firewall page /observium/device/device=27/tab=graphs/group=firewall/ the very last graph is labeled Remote Access Sessions. I'm getting the ubiquitous "Error Drawing Graph" on that row of graphs. whats my next debugging step? The apache logs don't show any errors, so I'm guessing its somewhere in the Observium or RRDtool layers. Observium 0.11.11.2726 Apache 2.2.14 (Ubuntu) PHP 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.10 MySQL 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.10 Thanks ---- Jeff

Potential bugs - r2726
by Berant Lemmenes 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

Some of these could be known issues but I didn't see anything in the bugtracker and wanted to see if they were somehow unique to my installation. There are a couple pages that completely error out, the browser get's a failure trying to load. For me that is the main Inventory page under the overview tab, and the all ports page. I have currently 30 devices with ~16k ports in my system. For a page like the all ports page I would expect that to take some time to render as it's pulling together a lot of info for 16k interfaces, however after maybe 1-2 seconds it fails. Filtering under the traffic bills page doesn't seem to work, when I first started entering Bills I know I was able to filter by over/under quota, however now that I have 67 in it doesn't seem to work. Also I'm not sure what the 'All Customers' drop down is supposed to filter on as I've filled out all the customer/bill related fields when adding a new bill and it never populates. In general I don't see any place to look for clues as to what is failing on the page failures, as the apache error.log doesn't have anything and the observium.log file is only poller items. Can I enable more verbose logging into the observium.log file somehow? Thanks, Berant

New user introduction - Scaling questions
by Berant Lemmenes 11 Nov '11

11 Nov '11

Hello everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself to the list and complement the authors on a fantastic tool! As a little background on our deployment, I work for a Midwestern US ISP/NSP and I found Observium by looking for a replacement solution for our severely aging 95th percentile burstable billing system. However I was blown away by Observium once I got it running. We're now looking at replacing several systems with it focusing on interface/data polling, we have a separate system that we will continue maintain to do SNMP trap handling. Right now we have just shy of 16k interfaces across 30 nodes, with another dozen or two to add to complete our cisco L3/L2 devices. I'm interested in adding new device types for our Cisco 15454 SONET and MSTP systems (and have read the Developing/NewOS document), however if these devices were to be added it would take our device count up north of 600, with a massive increase in interfaces. So I want to make sure I've got things setup well before going down that road. While performance is doing great thus far I'm concerned about things I can do to scale the system. Currently the system is a Xen VM with 4 cores and 4GB of ram, and the load average is staying right around 4 with 40% average CPU usage. Since we're not interested in alerting for interface/node up/down with Observium I've configured each device to ignore and disable alerting. I've also took out the various menu items poller modules for things that we don't need as well. And I need to look into interface names that can be ignored etc as well. I've not yet tried rrdcached but I'd like to see what impact that has on existing load. Does anyone else have any recommendations or additional best practices? I have some thoughts ideas on potential features that could be useful for other ISP users as well, however I don't want to flood the list right off the bat with an even more rambling email. Observium is a great tool, and though I'm not a programmer I'd love to help out however I can. Thanks, Berant

dlink snmp
by Nikolay Shopik 11 Nov '11

11 Nov '11

Hey, Does anyone here monitor D-link switches via SNMP? We had small devices which is pooling just fine, with pretty limited support, but still ok. And now trying out DGS-3120-24TC and it seems dying under snmp load when you add it on observium. And by dying I mean it become bunch of useless metal until you reboot it. So I wonder maybe anyone know which OID cause such behavior.

Anyone using 95th Billing?
by Mahomed Hussein 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

Hi Is anyone using 95th billing in observium? I've been having slowness issues with it, so I setup a new server, downloaded the latest version and cleared all the billing tables and let it start polling again. This was fine and the polling has been working. The page was loading in less than a second. As the days have gone on, the bills page has been getting slower and slower and now takes at least 20 seconds to load. I am just wondering if this is normal or if there is something wrong. Thanks.

It seems, autorefresh is broken when you select device go into ports and select specific graph to view it on full-screen. Actual refresh is working and you can force it by pressing F5 but graph doesn't update until you click again on one of time-window graph.

light blue peak on graph
by Nikolay Shopik 21 Oct '11

21 Oct '11

So I got one device polled by cacti and observium. And see difference in peaks (outbound as example). What I see is light blue color peaks are bigger than show in cacti but regular blue outline in observium graph match cacti peak. Is light blue peak is interpolation of data, how its caclucated or where it comes from?

html title depend on open window
by Nikolay Shopik 19 Oct '11

Is it possible to change HTML title to something more descriptive? Like when you open summary page of device you will have name of device in title instead current static "Observium :: Network Observation and Monitoring"? This helps when you navigate in observium and want to go back and all previous pages named same :). So you have to know how much level you want go back.

huge peaks on interfaces 10-100Gig
by Nikolay Shopik 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

We seeing once in while really huge peaks on some devices. In past we seen such when installing new device or/and doing maintenance on it. So we just ignore them in past, because they only broke graphs once in time. Does anyone seeing this too? Basically this looks like huge peak (10-100G) for about 5-10 min(2 scans). I've seen this on different devices, but all of them are Cisco afaik.

netstat legend
by Nikolay Shopik 12 Oct '11

12 Oct '11

Most of netstat graphs have 4 rows but legend says "current, averange,max). Only IP fragmetations have 3 rows/3 description. So what's up with 4 row in other graphs, probably should say current,min,avg,max?

Include Server Port Type?
by Matthew Gyurgyik 11 Oct '11

11 Oct '11

The wiki[1] lists Server as a valid port type. The parser does all the work so that http://observium.ndcls.local/iftype/type=server/ works. All that is needed is a config option and a menu item. I have a patch that add these two things. However, codekiller brought up a valid point that all you'd have to do is search for server. http://observium.ndcls.local/ports/ifAlias=server/format=list_basic/ This works just as well, for me. Therefore I ask, do we want a menu link for the server port type? Yes - I'll provide a patch No - I'll create a wiki account and remove the offending information ~pyther [1] http://www.observium.org/wiki/Interface_Description_Parsing

Hi, I noticed that after upgrading to the latest version of Observium, (0.11.10.2674); traffic graphs do not work anymore on some device; see screenshot below. Polling or discovering the affected devices does not help either. Regards Bruce DISCLAIMER: The information in this message is confidential and may be legally privileged.
