Hello, we just installed a new second observium on a separated server located in another site to ensure monitoring service high availability. these are set with two different IP and the primary server is supposed to do system and Mysql replication to the second server every day so that we always have a same data level on both.

Adding MIB
by Nick Her 04 Oct '21

04 Oct '21

Hello, I'm a system admin and I'm new to Observium. I've use other monitoring tools in the past, but deploying my own monitoring tool is all new to me. My plan is to test out the waters and possibly implement Observium to our corporate LAN/WAN consisting of approximately 250 devices. I've got 13 core devices responding and polling is working via SNMPv3. I'm getting a lot of useful data from my core switches. One important data I need is DHCP server information (mac address binding/IP address leases) from our HP switches. These core switches have multiple functions and one of those function is DHCP server. I need to be able to pull this DHCP server data and retain it for a period of time. Maybe send it to a syslog server. My problem is the MIB (HP-ICF-DHCPV4-SEVRER-MIB) is missing from my Observium install. I've been searching for a couple of hours and have not found a good starting point on how to add this MIB. I see that simply coping the MIB into the Observium install directory isn't the complete process. On your FAQ, the answer to "Vendor specific MIB" was very vague and was not very helpful. Can someone give me a brief run down of what I need to do to get this MIB working? What resources to read for more understanding of the MIB process. I'm sure someone's asked this question before, sorry if I'm repeating the question. Thank You,Nick

Problems with Checkpoint Gaia interface naming
by Hofer, Elmar (BITBW) 04 Oct '21

04 Oct '21

Dear List-Users, maybe someone can help me with my problem as it seems to happen quite often. Checkpoint uses different names in the ifDescr and ifNames field. The correct interface names are in the ifNames field. Now Observium uses the ifDescr field to display the interface names, because normally both fields have the same conntent. I'm lokking for an option to change this behaviar. It would be great to get an hint where to look for this problem to resolve. Thanks for your help. Yours Elmar

unending disk space growth?
by Adam Thompson 27 Sep '21

27 Sep '21

Since we last rebuilt our Observium instance in late 2019, we've noticed that it's chewing up disk space at a prodigious rate, that we didn't see before. We're seeing a steady ~300BG/month increase in storage needs. Observium, of course, monitors itself, and the line on the storage graph is a nearly-perfect slope (after adjusting for disk size increases). This came to my attention this morning (again), when we ran out of disk space (again) and I had to expand the volume (again) to continue operating. (So much for our alerting... oops.) We have added a few new devices, but not 1TB worth, and not consistently and constantly since late 2019. Since RRD files are - in theory - fixed-size, why does /opt/obvservium/rrd keep growing without bound? And how can I predict future growth? Will it ever stop? Help? Anyone? -Adam Adam Thompson Consultant, Infrastructure Services [1593169877849] 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/>

Changes to alarm checkers
by Daniel Johansson 23 Sep '21

23 Sep '21

Hi I see that some changes has been done to how you build the alarm checkers since a while back. Before you had to type everything out to match everything, devices, entitys and association,conditions. Now some of the things we have matched for and has worked no longer works. Also there are some stuff that I could match for before but not any londer. for example in a few cisco devices I run som links with macsec and I want to verify that the encryption is running and send an alert if not. This I can not do any more. see picture for the data I want to use: How can I still use this in observium 21.9.11575 (stable) ? ---- Regards Daniel

OpticalChannel no longer ignored
by Robert Williams 23 Sep '21

23 Sep '21

Hi! Overnight during the svn up to 11597 we have gained a couple of hundred 'ports' which are on various SmartOptics chassis (DCP and M series) of type "Optical Channel" There was already an exclusion for this type of interface (as the data polled is null anyway, even for 'Up' channels) but it now seems to be ignoring the exclusion and showing a couple of hundred extra (Down) ports now. The current config.php exclusions I've tried are: $config['bad_if_regexp'][] = "/opticalChannel/"; $config['bad_if'][] = "opticalChannel"; $config['bad_iftype'][] = "opticalChannel"; With no luck, although it is correctly importing them into the config, for example: Any ideas please?

Location Not Showing
by Njoroge, Joyce (Stadt Ulm) 21 Sep '21

Hallo, the snmp location configuration in the Cisco switches are separated by a comma. But in Observium, the comma is changed to 1%F, which I assume is the reason for the error. When I change the location menu type in the web UI to geocoded, it works okay but not for nested location despite setting the Nested Location split character to a comma . -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: observium <observium-bounces(a)observium.org> Im Auftrag von observium-request(a)observium.org Gesendet: Mittwoch, 15.

Hello, As we need observium service continuity 24/7 can we install another observium in another server with different IP so that if the running one goes down we make the backup on live? in this case, what about the license (SVN user/password for Observium Enterprise) Thank you and Regards, Toky,

Is anyone using Observium to monitor Calix E7 GPON hardware?
by Richard Kuhns 15 Sep '21

15 Sep '21

Hello, We're in the processing of deploying a number of Calix E7 shelves and we'd really like to be able to monitor them using Observium. The problem is that a fairly full shelf can take a very long time (well over 5 mintues) to discover/poll. Our major concern is to be able to look at the uplink ports & the physical PON ports. More info would be nice, but it's not as important. If anyone is using Observium to monitor these devices and would be willing to share how you're doing it we'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks! -- Richard Kuhns <rjk(a)wintek.com> Systems Administrator Wintek Powered by Tipmont Main: 765-742-8428 Direct: 765-269-8541

Hello We have some Check Point firewalls and if i make an Alert check to their memory usage and try to associate it to these firewalls, after the SAVE CHANGES the check doesn't shows any associated items even if i set the hostname directly or use the exact hardware type of it like the attached pictures. If i add the "Device Vendor in Check Point" it shows our other Check Point-made firewall but not that is in the attached picture (where the hardware is 15600 or the hostname is **fw01 . Is it a bug or just i made a mistake? Thanks Laszlo

We just had 1 year of subscription license observium Enterprise, ref: 4011610 We are completely new on this monitoring tools and really need your support for the installation. Our standard is debian 11, and we proceed on the manual installation as the script on the observim document doesn’t work (script automatic installation for debian 10) All the package are installed, observium seems to be installed following the guide (SNV username/password inserted) but *when we access the observium via GUI, the apache default page is shown instead of observium page* We already remove the apache (2.4) and then reinstalled and configure but the same result. Could you please help us on that or redirect me on the right support as we are turning around on this issue for a few weeks Thank you -- *Toky *

Probes from remote collectors
by Brad Bendy 27 Aug '21

27 Aug '21

Hi, I have added probes under a hosts that is a remote collector (ICMP for now) but I don't see that hosts actually sending the data. The master observium is doing the checks not the hosts the probe is tied to. When I go add probe I am choosing the other remote collector hosts and it shows up under that hosts when I go look at the hosts but those checks are still originating from the wrong place. I guess the "hosts" refers to which hosts would be used as the default %HOSTNAME% variable? If so, is there any way we can get these checks to launch from the collector and send data back? Thanks

monitor specific ports

Hey guys, i am trying to monitor two things in a port, if is operational up with “ ifOperStatus notequals up” but if I set it up to all my switches, it sends 2221 (literally) emails regarding all the ports available in my networks. How can I specify certain ports in certain devices. The other one is to be able to see if there is “traffic”, the scenario is we have a several mikrotik devices connected to DSL modems, but we need to see if the DSL service is up and running and get a notification if this port / service goes down.

JunOS Fusion and satellite
by Johann Mallet 31 Jul '21

31 Jul '21

Hello, We migrate one part of our equipments to JunOS Fusion Provider Edge. That permits us to have one Juniper MX chassis with a satellite (like Juniper EX or QFX) which is seen as like a linecard of Juniper MX chassis. But I have the impression that Observium can't detect sensors, COS or hardware for ports on this satellite. On CLI, we need to add the keyword "satellite" in commands to see optical level, hardware list. Maybe for satellite mode, the SNMP MIB was different (FPC number for satellite starts at 100). But, I have only found documentation for the "hardware" part. https://www.juniper.net/documentation/us/en/software/junos/fusion-enterpris… I can share access to our lab equipment with JunOS Fusion if needed.

Hi there, I have multiple environmental Devices which are working fine for years now. A view weeks ago one of was shown as unable to poll. A SNMPwalk for the Device works fine. I've tried to add the device via it's IP no luck there. I've rebooted the Server and the Device multiple times. I flushed the DNS cache. Attached are the debug Output of a poller run of a working Device poll_tempboxnl.txt and of the non-working Device poll_tempboxnz.txt as well as the discovery and snmpwalk output. xxx_tempboxnl.txt working. xxx_tempboxnz.txt not working. Any suggestions are welcome. Best regards Andras

Unable to create Alert Checker
by David Milton 12 Jul '21

12 Jul '21

Hello, I'm having a strange problem creating alert checkers. I first noticed this today and updated to the latest edition: 21.7.11450. I'm working on a test server and was attempting to re-create all of the alert checkers currently on my production systems and then add a few more; I would like to monitor power supply input state as well as air intake temperatures and produce alerts when a power supply is "down" and when intake air temperatures go above something like 45C. This has been prompted by some problems lately where power redundancy was lost and where we had an air conditioner failure. An earlier warning than having the hardware go into thermal shutdown is very much needed. So on my test server I can go through the basic process of creating the alert checker; alert checks -> Create new checker. In this case I click BGP Peer, fill in the name, message, use 1 for the delay and the conditions: bgpPeerAdminStatus notequals stop bgpPeerState notequals established Unfortunately, when I click "Add Checker" nothing happens. I've verified this is not likely the browser or is something pretty universal to all of my browsers because I can duplicate this in current versions Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Chrome. Both Opera and Chrome are fresh installations done today but I did try disabling all extensions in Firefox and Safari to see if those were a problem. I searched through the documentation but couldn't find anything about browser compatibility or known conflicts. This used to work but it's been quite some time since I've wanted to add new checks. Is there something else I'm missing? Thanks, Dave.

Thermal Alarm Bug

APCu Caching not working?
by Milton Ngan 08 Jul '21

08 Jul '21

I have noticed that when I enable webUI caching, that the page loads don’t speed up. It regularly takes 3 seconds to render a page, although the tool tip at the bottom shows APCu caching is enabled. However, if I force the cache driver to “files”, then I see a huge speed up (page loads drop to about 100-200ms). Is there some extra config to get APCu working correctly? I didn’t see anything in the docs, but I could have missed it.

Distributed polling
by Milton Ngan 06 Jul '21

06 Jul '21

I was looking at the distributed polling feature as we have a geographically distributed network and polling slow devices from half way across the globe takes a long time. It turns out that putting a poller closer to the device doesn’t actually help. The SNMP polling times go down a bit, but the SQL times go up a lot because there are hundreds of SQL queries that get run for every polled device. This can easily add another 1-2 minutes to your polls depending on how many metrics are being polled. So, it seems to me that the distributed feature only works if the poller is still reasonably close to the database, otherwise the latency per query eats up any gains you might have from reducing the SNMP latency. Are there plans to try to reduce the number of queries a poller makes to make geographically distributed polling less latency sensitive? Cheers Milton

Alert on Entity Group
by Philipp Rehs 05 Jul '21

05 Jul '21

Hello, we want to create alert checkers for entities (mostly storage entities) which are only assigned to some entities in special groups. Building the groups is possible but it is not possible to add a association rule based on entitiy group membership. it is just possible to do it on device group membership or entity attributes. There is no entitiy / storage group option. Any idea how to solve this?

RANCID integration question
by Adam Thompson 10 Jun '21

10 Jun '21

I'd like to integrate our RANCID install with our Observium install, but the "generate-rancid.php" script includes over 100 devices that we have SNMP access to but not SSH, and excludes some other virtual devices that I do want to include. The script appears to simply key off whether the device is classed as "hardware" or not, which isn't adequate for us. Are there any enhancements to that script on the wings? If not, can I just manually edit the generated list and never re-run the script automatically (despite the warning in it)? Thanks, -Adam

fwConnNumber from Stonesoft/Forcepoint Firewall
by Steffen Klemer 27 May '21

Hey devs, would it be possible to get a graph for fwConnNumber from STONESOFT-FIREWALL-MIB.mib (i.e. 1.3.6.1.4.1.1369.5.2.1.4) similiar to the Connection Number for Cisco ASA? Also the fwIfStatsTable might be nice and the Accepted, Rejected, Dropped packets :). I added it as custom oid for now; but perhaps some more people would be interested? Do you accept patches?

Performance tuning
by Lars Joergensen 19 May '21

19 May '21

Hi We have one Observium server looking at * 476 devices (mainly switches, some firewalls, some WAN routers) * 3666 ports * 8692 sensors The server has 6 cores (~70% idle, ~3% iowait) and 8 GB memory. We have configured 15 poller threads with max 6 allowed wrapper processes. The server is struggling to keep the polling cycle below 300 seconds (averaging 376 secs). Is this workload realistic for one server, and if so where do you suggest we tune? Or do we need to use a distributed setup?

Nightly Backup
by Terry Stone 10 May '21

10 May '21

For what its worth I have written a small php script to provide a 7 day rolling backup of my observium server to an external server and to send a confirmation email when backup is complete: #!/usr/bin/env php <?php // Script to backup Observium data created by Terry Stone on 3rd. May 2021 include "config.php"; // Collect database credentials $sql_username = $config['db_user']; $sql_userpass = $config['db_pass']; // FTP server credentials $ftp_server = '[ftp server name]'; $ftp_username = '[ftp server username]'; $ftp_userpass = '[ftp server password]'; // Email credentials $mail_to = $config['email']['default']; $mail_header = 'From: '.$config['email']['from'] . "\r\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion(); $mail_subject = "Observium Server Backup"; $mail_message = "Observium server backups sent to ".$ftp_server." on ".date("l jS F Y").":\n\n"; // Files to backup $file[0]= "observium-rrd.tar.gz"; $file[1]= "observium-dump.sql"; $file[2]= "config.php"; // Prefix filename to be sent to FTP server with day of the week $counter=0; while ($counter < count($file)) { $backupfile[$counter]=date("N").$file[$counter]; $counter++; } // Assemble observium backup fils exec('tar zcvf backup/'.$file[0].' rrd'); exec('/usr/bin/mysqldump -u observium --user='.$sql_username.' --password='.$sql_userpass.' --databases observium --add-drop-table --extended-insert > backup/'.$file[1]); exec('cp config.php backup/'.$file[2]); // Connect and login to FTP server $ftp_conn = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die("Could not connect to $ftp_server"); $login = ftp_login($ftp_conn, $ftp_username, $ftp_userpass); // Change to passive mode ftp_pasv($ftp_conn,true); // Upload files to FTP server $counter=0; while ($counter < count($file)) { if (ftp_put($ftp_conn, $backupfile[$counter], "backup/".$file[$counter],FTP_BINARY)) { exec('cp backup/'.$file[$counter].' backup/'.$backupfile[$counter]); $status = date("H:i:s")."

Error backing up ".$file[$counter]." to ".$backupfile[$counter]."\n"; } $mail_message = $mail_message.$status; $counter++; } // Close FTP connection ftp_close($ftp_conn); // Add final line to message body $mail_message=$mail_message."\nPlease do not reply to this message, mail account is send only.\n"; // Send Completion message mail($mail_to,$mail_subject,$mail_message,$mail_header); ?> It is set to run nightly with this Cron Job: # Run nightly backup and send files to offshore FTP server 0 02 * * * root cd /opt/observium && php observiumbackup.php The backups are also held on the Observium Server in /opt/observium/backups. You need to make sure the backup files have the correct permissions. Hope this will help someone. An observium server that has run for years holds a very large amount of valuable historical data and servers can fail so its good to have that data in a safe place! Terry Stone.

API, get syslog alarms list by device id
by Vasiliy Moroz 10 May '21

10 May '21

Dear Observium community, I usе Observium and the more I use it more I love it :) I use the Observium syslog interface for pushing to Observium syslog alerts. For now, I am developing customer personal web service where they could see their telecom services on the map with nodes states like ok, critical. There are on the map presented only part of the telco network their services go through. By API I get nodes' location and state so can show it on the map with nodes connections from my customer database. Except for alarms Observium gets by syslog integration. Is there any way to get syslog alerts by API and device id? I could analyze syslog alerts and set proper node status by syslog alerts if they are accessible. As I know it is impossible.

LLDP collection from Arista switches
by Lars Joergensen 07 May '21

07 May '21

Hi guys We're looking at the Port -> Map view of our Aristas to determine what's connected to them. But this map seems to lack information compared to what we can see directly on the switch. Any information I can provide that would help in troubleshooting this? Lars ________________________________ Disclaimer: This e-mail, including any attachments, is for the intended recipient only.

Observium device discovery
by Christopher N Callison 05 May '21

05 May '21

I have a Cisco 9130axi AP that is running in embedded controller mode. I am not able to monitor traffic or user statistics on the WLANs like I did with my WLC2504. I do not see any wireless related MIBS attached to the device. Is there a way to force discovery for certain features or MIBS? Or do I have to add my own custom OID? Chris

Google Secure LDAP - Working with a hack
by Pieter De Wit 05 May '21

05 May '21

Hi Guys, I have Google Secure LDAP working with Observium, but it requires a hack and hopefully the devs can implement this into the code base (after fixing my even more of my hacky hacks :) ) In config.php: $config['auth_ldap_server']="ldap://127.0.0.1:1636”; // We using the stunnel method $config['auth_ldap_port'] = 1636; // Not needed - at least, not that I could find $config['auth_ldap_starttls']=false; // Implemented with stunnel $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",ou=Secure_LDAP,ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com”; // Fix this for your domain unset ($config['auth_ldap_groups']); $config['auth_ldap_groups']['cn=observium']['level'] = 10; // Google does something funky with “groups" In html/includes/authentication/ldap.inc.php: After line 932: else { $filter="(&(".$dn.")".ldap_filter_create ($attribute, $value).")"; $ret=ldap_search ($ds,”dc=example,dc=com",$filter); // TODO : We need to figure out if ($ret !==FALSE) { $compare=TRUE; } } In a nutshell, ldap_compare doesn’t work for Google Secure LDAP - pretty much like https://jira.observium.org/browse/OBS-3611 <https://jira.observium.org/browse/OBS-3611> but then, if the ldap_read fails, we fallback to just doing a search for the “group” and where memberUid is the username provided. It might be worthwhile to look into setting a LDAP type variable and reacting to that. Hopefully this makes sense :) Cheers, Pieter

Google Secure LDAP
by Pieter De Wit 04 May '21

04 May '21

Hi Everyone, Has anyone got Observium to authenticate against Google Secure LDAP *and* return a usable user level ? My authentication passes, but I always end up with a user level of 0. I am using the stunnel method to try and simplify things. Thanks, Pieter

Observium Backups
by Terry Stone 04 May '21

04 May '21

When backing up rrd with tar zcvf observium-rrd.tar.gz rrd I get the following message: tar: Removing leading `/' from member names Is this OK or should I use the --absolute-names option? Also I am getting some messages saying file changed as we read it. This is understandable but do i need to do anything while running the backup to stop this from happening? Thanks in advance.
