Device & bad_if_regexp
by Arrigo 19 Jan '21

19 Jan '21

Hi All. Is there a way to associate a device in /bad_if_regexp /parameter in /config.php /file? I mean: I want to exclude "GigabitEthernet0/3/4.*" subinterfaces on a specific device, but the same interface is also on other devices. My actual config.php setup is: $config['bad_if_regexp'][] = "/GigabitEthernet0\/3\/4\.[123]+/"; $config['bad_if_regexp'][] = "/GigabitEthernet0\/3\/4\.[456789][0-9]{0,2}$/"; Thanks, Arrigo.

Arista switches per-VLAN traffic stats?
by Adam Thompson 15 Jan '21

15 Jan '21

I observe (pun not intended) that on our Arista switches, unlike the Cisco NX9ks we run, Observium isn’t able to collect per-VLAN traffic stats. This is kind of a problem for us… Arista’s willing to help diagnose, but wants to know what MIB trees are being polled to gather this info. Can anyone tell me what MIBs / OID trees Observium is looking for?

Question on Observium GUI
by Martin 23 Dec '20

23 Dec '20

Hello Observium experts, Is there a way to 'acknowledge' an issue which produces a status box (old style) to make this status box to disappear from my dashboard? For example, I have a number of BGP sessions on hot-standby devices which are 'normally down' until the primary device dies. I do not need/want to see the down state of these BGP sessions. Obviously other BGP issues from these or other devices should still be reported. Best regards, Martin

Updating observium system via yum update
by Edvinas Kairys 22 Dec '20

22 Dec '20

Hello, it's been a while I was upgrading the Observium dependencies. Currently we're suing OLD Centos version: CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core) [image: image.png] What do you think, is it safe to update system via yum update? It would upgrade Centos 7.3 to 7.x and should upgrade Python, Maria DB (from 5.5.56 to 5.5.68) ant other Observium dependencies. After this base update, i would try to manually update MariaDB to 10.x and Python, if yum update will be insufficient. My concern is to not corrupt the system. Could you give some recommendations or i'm too careful and everything should be fine with yum update. ? Thank you:)

Smokeping graphs post migration
by Joey Stanford 19 Dec '20

19 Dec '20

Howdy, I need some help pointing me in the right direction for troubleshooting. I migrated Observium from Ubuntu to Debian and life is good except for smokeping. I have no graphs but… * smokeping is installed * smokeping and observium’s config.php are using the same configuration as the old server * going to [host]cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi shows me all the graphs and they are up to date * going to the tech support page shows me that observium finds the graphs e.g. - Found file ending in ".rrd": router_thorodin_rmham.rrd - Determined to be a local file, for target router_thorodin_rmham - After replacing configured split_char _ by . target is router.thorodin.rmham so at this point I know smokeping is working, the graphs have the right perms to displayed (currently smokeping:observium), and observium can see the rrd file. Unfortunately going to the page I get the dreaded “Error drawing graph”. At the bottom of the smokeping section in tech support I see two items. One is an error for no outgoing latency graph. Any ideas on what else I could look at? RRD for incoming latency found. RRD for outgoing latency not found.

Juniper polling performance tip
by Markus Klock 19 Dec '20

19 Dec '20

Hey guys! Just wanted to share a little tip on how to increase Observium polling performance on juniper boxes. This might be old news for some but I just found it. You can create a filter on junos-device that filters out certain interfaces from SNMP view. https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/task/configuration… I can recommend using: set snmp filter-interfaces all-internal-interfaces set snmp filter-interfaces interfaces "^sxe-.*" This will filter out all useless internal interfaces from polling and discovery by Observium. Especially when you have large juniper switch stacks the total number of internal interfaces are a lot which slows down polling. Filtering them out actually makes a big difference. If you got a lot of juniper gear, try it out and please share the speedup in pollingtime! /Markus

Random few questions
by Simon Smith 15 Dec '20

15 Dec '20

Hi All, I've got a few random questions that probably have simply answers too Ive checked our poller performance logs and its showing ’total time for all devices as 463.46s’ Is this a worry? Should it be under the 300s as the poller is set to run every 5 min? The highest device we have according to the poller performance is a mikrotik hex s router and that takes 30 seconds to poll, again is this normal? Also the poller performance for that device is showing its taking about 15seconds just to poll the ports module but again it only has 5 ports? Kindest Regards Simon - Hestor Ltd

backing up Observium server
by Edvinas Kairys 15 Dec '20

15 Dec '20

Hello, I know that if i want to have a fully backup i need 3 things. 1) Mysql dump 2) copy of config.php 3)and copy of .rrd folder. My question is: Do it's enough to have first two things: MYSQL dump and copy of config.php ? Because old traffic data (.rrd) is not so critical as loosing all the rules/alerts of Observium (and weathermap which is on other directory)

Twilio integration
by Philippe Laurent 11 Dec '20

Observium Developers - We use Twilio for MFG alerting when text/call escalation is required beyond email and PA voice alerts. I see that Observium does not have native Twilio integration. Beyond leveraging the Observium API for Twilio integration, would you be willing to natively extend Observium to include Twilio so that we can extend our use of that tool within the native toolset? I would be happy to donate my Enterprise hours towards the development and future inclusion in Observium for all to use. Philippe

TLS 1.3 and Opsgenie
by Adam Armstrong 28 Nov '20

28 Nov '20

Hi Guys, A number of services are moving their APIs to require TLS 1.3 because of a vulnerability in TLS 1.2, which means you need to be running pretty recent versions of PHP and OpenSSL to access them. PHP needs to be 7.4. Opsgenie is already requiring TLS 1.3, so if you're using them for your alerting, please make sure you're running a recent enough version of PHP for the API calls to function. You can test this on your system with the test_alert.php CLI script in the Observium root directory. In general, Observium is a fairly demanding PHP application so it's good practice to try to keep PHP as up to date as possible. We've seen some very nice performance improvements over the past few years, and 8.0 is going to bring even more. For this reason we don't recommend running Observium on distributions like RHEL/CentOS which hold old versions for as long as possible. Thanks, Adam.

CE No RRD Updates Since Upgrade to 20.9
by Scott Driemeier-Showers 24 Nov '20

24 Nov '20

I run two instances of Observium. Professional is installed at the office and CE is installed in my home lab. I followed the steps to upgrade CE (I know, everyone says that) in my lab from 19.8 to 20.9 on November 8 and none of the graphs have updated since. I have rebooted, checked permissions, verified all expected services are running, etc. Reviewing the event log in the Web UI and the logs on the server all show activity. The timestamps of the individual RRD files are updating every time poller runs - just nothing happening in the UI. Can someone help me think of anything else to check?

OSPF Neighbour ID isn't always the IP address
by Pieter De Wit 23 Nov '20

Hey Guys, I noted this morning when I added a device that Observium tries to auto discover the OSPF Neighbours - this is awesome, but won’t work in our env. (Firewalls and IDs) ##### Module Start: neighbours ##### o LLDP-MIB o CISCO-CDP-MIB o OSPF-MIB o Trying to discover host 10.x.x.255 (10.x.x.255) through OSPF (ospf) o Trying to discover host 10.y.y.255 (10.y.y.255) through OSPF (ospf) o Trying to discover host 10.y.y.0 (10.y.y.0) through OSPF (ospf) We force our ID’s to be higher or lower depending on what we need. I tried to see if the real IP address is in the SNMP dump, but my SNMP magic is failing :( Cheers, Pieter

Re: [Observium] Graph Data Missing after Upgrade RAM

Dear Adam, Sorry to resend because I didn't get the answer, thanks before. > It’s likely that you need more CPU, rather than more RAM. Ending up in these out of memory scenarios are usually because the CPU was too slow and too many processes piled up. The processor full if there's a poll is running after that it will normal again. I've follow the tutorial to using persistent ramdisk https://docs.observium.org/persistent_ramdisk/ If ramdisk, RAM and swap are full, does the RRD still written ? Because in that condition, the graph not written and there's an error when access the gui: *"DB Error 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)*" after restart the DB service it will normal again. please advice. >If you can’t see historic data, it means the RRD containing the historical data has been somehow overwritten. Observium won’t do this by itself, so somehow you managed to delete or move the original RRDs. >You can restore the RRDs from backup, and it should write to these. I can manual restore from backup of the backup ramdisk, thanks. Because when I try to manual extract the ramdisk data from LZOP first backup file it end with error. > Though, if the RRDs have somehow disappeared, I’d check to make sure you don’t have some form of filesystem/storage corruption, because the two might be linked. After investigate, when the shutdown process, the ramdisk didn't write the latest data before the server turn off. Because I didn't see any log about Ramdisk write data to hardisk. How to achieve it ? because in the document didn't explain detail about it. When startup process it succesfull load the data from ramdsk via rc.local script but the data loaded is corrupt, I can confrm this because when I try to manual extract from LZOP compression end with error, only some graph can be restored.

I go to that server and add hosts, the host add find. All the graphs are failing and on the local server i t shows nothing in the RRD dir (which is right I would think), on the remote hosts it shows RRD files but when I do a debug I see "file already exists" and it does on the remote server. Looking at the rrd.journal file I see updates being issued and see no errors. On the polling server I have added: $config['rrdcached'] = "x.x.x.x:42217"; $config['rrd']['no_local'] = TRUE; And updated cron to: */5 * * * * observium /opt/observium/observium-wrapper -i 1 -n 0 discovery --host new >> /dev/null 2>&1 # Run multithreaded poller wrapper every 5 minutes */5 * * * * observium /opt/observium/observium-wrapper -i 1 -n 0 poller >> /dev/null 2>&1 As I have one poller server and this is the first one. I see no other errors in other logs but all graphs show "error drawing graph". Is there something else in my config I am missing to make this work? Thanks

Hi, There is an in-progress case with support for PacketLight DWDM boxes.

Graph Data Missing after Upgrade RAM
by Aulia Rahman 11 Nov '20

11 Nov '20

Dear All, I'm using Observium 20.1.10233 (stable) Enterprise version. Observium sometime error on database when access from web Image1.jpeg At that time the graph stop add new data. there's a notification in console like picture below, so I need to restart the database service. image2.png Access server and try to see HTOP image3.png Then check the log image4.png After restart database service, the graph starts to add new data again. Then, I upgraded the server RAM from 12 GB to 24 GB on 9 November 2020 at night. This server uses ramdisk configuration on SSD. After the server booted up the graph didn't add new data until today 11 November 2020 at 00:00 the graph started to add new data again. But, all previous data graphs on all devices before 11 November 2020 are missing. Here's the screenshot for the missing data for example on one device after upgrade. image5.png Here's the HTOP from the observium server after upgrade image6.png I've restore to date 8 and 7 November but the all graph show "Draw Graph Error" image7.jpeg & image8.jpeg When check the rrd folder from the server restore, It just only show a few device folder. I assume that folder still hold on ramdisk, but if I see log for ramdisk it sync every 2-5 minutes to hardisk. Please tell me step-by-step how to troubleshoot & recover it. All image you can see on this link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1u8sx3_a_qJN9Kpr_gmgEND3MsV4Vd0Vj?us… Demikian yang dapat kami sampaikan, terimakasih. Regards, Aulia Rahman

Rancid git with remote pollers
by Brad Bendy 09 Nov '20

09 Nov '20

Hi, I know this is slightly off topic but was wondering if anyone has ran into this. We have rancid on our remote pollers working and grabbing configs. Now on a single Observium instance you just enable it in the config and the integration works spot on as the SVN/GIT is local. Has anyone got this to work where they store the configs locally on the remote poller and then push a copy to the master observium box so they show up in the GUI? Or are you using a central GIT server on the master and just the proper settings in the rancid.conf file? Thanks

Observium Entreprise Edition and multiple pollers?

Hello, Do you have any guide about Entreprise Edition? How do multiple pollers working on different servers work? Do we need to use RRDCached and/or NFS shares? Or poller instances store on local servers and Observium interface make proxy for RRD data? Best Regards, Johann

Hi ! I saw that the widgets on dashboards can have specific configurations (database table 'dash_widgets', field 'widget_config') but I seem to find no documentation about this. Also the UI somehow does not allow me to change any of the parameters. Am I missing something here ? Ahmed.

Event log noise
by John Borrow 01 Nov '20

01 Nov '20

Hi all, Our event log is clogging up with multiple current and voltage threshold entries, for example see below; Current gi24 PoE Current above threshold: 0.158 A (> 0.1155 A) Current gi3 PoE Current above threshold: 0.115 A (> 0.102 A) Voltage gi24 PoE Voltage above threshold: 119 V (> 63.25 V) Voltage gi9 PoE Voltage above threshold: 113 V (> 60.95 V) Apologies if this is a dumb question, as I'm knew to the software, but does anyone know a good way of removing these entries besides adjusting the threshold of every network device. Monitoring voltages and currents isn't a high priority for us, so happy to turn these off globally. Many thanks for your help.

Additional portpercent element/widget on frontpage?
by Gumilar Siegfried MSc. 29 Oct '20

29 Oct '20

Hello! I would love to be able to add a second Traffic Comparison (portpercent) with different port groups to our dashboard. Is that somehow possible? Right now I can add a second "Traffic Composition" Widget in the dashboard edit mode, but it still uses the same port groups as the other one. This is how our current configuration looks like: $config['frontpage']['order'] = array('status_summary', 'map', 'overall_traffic', 'portpercent', 'device_status', 'altert_table', 'syslog', 'eventlog'); $config['frontpage']['portpercent']['Peering'] = array('group' => 5); $config['frontpage']['portpercent']['Transit'] = array('group' => 6); $config['frontpage']['portpercent']['options'] = array('graph_format' => 'single'); In my opinion, it would be best if you could simply use portpercent2, for example, to configure the next widget. Regards, Siegfried

graphing total PoE
by Eric W. Bates 27 Oct '20

27 Oct '20

We use a lot of cisco 2960 PoE switches in stacks and we want to know the total demand of the stack. Currently Observium gives us a separate "PoE Group n" for each switch in the stack so those are handy subtotals. But is there a way to create a custom graph with the sum of all the PoE Groups? -- Clark 159a, MS 46 508/289-3112

Device Graphs are not drawing
by Dulanjaya Oshaka 26 Oct '20

26 Oct '20

Hello I am an absolute beginner to Observium and Linux. I installed Observium in my environment as Syslog and SNMP server. I added some Cisco Catalyst 9500 series, 9200 and Nexus N3k Series switches. After I added those devices, In some devices are not drawing Graphs (like System, Traffic statistics etc). What is the issue for this and How I fix this? I have another question. I need to add more Hard disk space to my ubuntu VM that I installed in Observium. But there is some issue to expand my root disk. I installed Observium also in my Root partition. Because of this I have planned to create an another partition using LVM and move Observium to that partition. Is this possible? If so, How I do that and How can I see the mount point in Observium? Thanks and Regards Dulanjaya Oshaka

Cisco Wifi APs registered twice
by Lars Joergensen 23 Oct '20

23 Oct '20

Hi We had a power mishap which resulted in the Cisco wifi controller rebooting. After that all the AP's got registered twice in observium. Deleting the controller and re-adding it didn't clear up the issue. I manually deleted all entries from the wifi_aps table and got the thing working correct. It's not a big issue, but it should be an easy change to only add unique APs, based on name or MAC, to the database.

Hi Adam and Observium team: We recently started having an issue with our Observium (20.9.10749) that the graphs for different devices would restart and all its previous history would be gone: [Graphical user interface Description automatically generated] And we usually see the following ‘messages’ under /var/log around that time: Oct 18 05:07:13 sjc-observium-1 rrdcached[1495]: queue_thread_main: rrd_update_r (/opt/observium/rrd/atl-wan04/status.rrd) failed with status -1.

But they don’t help much. Do you have any suggestions how we can further investigate and troubleshoot this? Thanks. - Gordon

Error drawing graph (can not parse an empty rpn expression)
by McGregor, Kevin 22 Oct '20

22 Oct '20

I just upgraded from 19.8 to 20.9 CE. In both I've been having the same problem: Everything works as expected, except two devices (of 19) produce a big pink box instead of a chart for the "Ports" widget on the Overview page for the devices. The chart is titled "Error Drawing Graph". Other similar devices (same OS version, etc.) all show a normal-looking chart in the same place. The devices are "SunOS <hostname> 5.11 11.4.25.75.3 sun4v". Most other devices of the same version work, just not two of them. When I click on the chart, I get the Ports page and a bigger version of the same chart. Selecting "RRD Command" produces this below the pink box: Description Device total traffic in bits/sec.

Question about use and support
by Matthew Cotter 20 Oct '20

20 Oct '20

Greetings, I am new to this and Observium. We have a paid version and I have some questions about support and upgrading. Question 1, how do I get support? Support question, when I try to add a device, I get an error saying it can't ping the device. I have logged into the terminal of observium and can ping the device Support question, I recently received an email about a new version, I tried to run the update, but it fails saying it can't find the root folder or something like that. I can provide more details, but this is the basic questions I have and if you can point me in the proper direction how to get these answered I would appreciate that.

Syslog rule: No logging alert entries found
by Lars Joergensen 19 Oct '20

19 Oct '20

Hi We would like to generate an alert on an Aruba switch logging stuff like "ST1-CMDR: port 1/20-Excessive CRC/alignment errors. See help." So I created a syslog rule that triggered on that expression, but I get "No logging alert entries found!". Then I changed the pattern to just /CRC/ and it still doesn't find anything. [cid:image003.png@01D6A3AE.21854F30] If I go to the syslog menu and search for CRC, I get tons. What am I doing wrong?

How to create Alert Checker for a specific port?
by Brian Bianchi 15 Oct '20

15 Oct '20

Hi folks, I have an application running on port 7990. I would like to create a custom Alert Checker to check if this port is functional. I have read the documentation here: https://docs.observium.org/alert_checker/ https://docs.observium.org/alerting_examples/ The "port is operational but functionally down" option looks like the one for me. But how the heck do I select a specific port of 7990 to be monitored? Thanks!

Syslog problem with Arista and Nexus device
by Sachin Guda 09 Oct '20

09 Oct '20

Hello Team, I am running latest Observium version, Syslog is configured on switch to send logs to observium server. They send logs to observium (verified with capture on server interface) but observium doesn’t show it in syslog tab it says- No syslog entries found! This device does not have any syslog entries. Check that the syslog daemon and Observium configuration options are set correctly, that this device is configured to send syslog to Observium and that there are no firewalls blocking the messages. See Syslog Integration <https://docs.observium.org/syslog/> guide and configuration options <https://docs.observium.org/config_options/#syslog-settings> for more information. At the same time syslog can be seen from other devices like cisco CAT switch, ASA firewall and Cisco ASR. __________________________________________________ [image: http://itiviti.com/email_signature_logo_2017_120.png] <http://www.itiviti.com/> *Sachin Guda* Managed Services, Itiviti Network Engineer Direct: +46 8 506 477 52 Mobile: +46 73 901 02 53 Sachin.Guda(a)itiviti.com <%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20mailto:Sachin.Guda@itiviti.com> Kungsgatan 36 , P.O.

Trouble with Active Directory group config on Observium CE v20.9.10731
by Brian Bianchi 08 Oct '20

08 Oct '20

Hello, I am trying to configure Active Directory authentication on my Observium CE v20.9.10731 server using this page as a guide -> https://docs.observium.org/authentication/#active-directory I am passed the point where my username and password are authenticated. It is the group config I am confused about. I have an Active Directory group "eng-admins" that I want to give administrative privileges to, of which my login (bbianchi) is a member. And I have an Active Directory group "eng-team" that I want to give generic non-admin privileges. My domain is hq.viviport.com. It is not clear to me how to configure these lines to achieve this: $config['auth_ldap_recursive'] = TRUE; $config['auth_ldap_recursive_maxdepth'] = 3; $config['auth_ldap_prefix'] = "CN="; $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",DC=hq,DC=viviport,DC=com"; $config['auth_ldap_group'] = array("CN=Observium Users,OU=Groups,DC=hq,DC=viviport,DC=com"); $config['auth_ldap_groupbase'] = "OU=Groups,DC=hq,DC=viviport,DC=com"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmembertype'] = "fulldn"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmemberattr'] = "member"; unset($config['auth_ldap_groups']); $config['auth_ldap_groups']['CN=Observium Admins,OU=Groups,DC=hq,DC=viviport,DC=com']['level'] = 10; $config['auth_ldap_groups']['CN=Observium Users,OU=Groups,DC=hq,DC=viviport,DC=com']['level'] = 1; I have enabled debug logging.

I believe there is max limit on that RRD, as some other port-channels works good. Of course I don't want to loose history if possible.

Looking at the switch, I get this: Transceiver in 3/49 Interface Index : 155 Type : SFP+LR Model : J9151A Connector Type : LC Wavelength : 1310nm Transfer Distance : 10.0km (9um), Diagnostic Support : DOM Serial Number : AX07SL0130407 Status Temperature : 26.289C Voltage : 3.3408V Tx Bias : 41.728mA Tx Power : 0.6339mW, -1.980dBm Rx Power : 0.4225mW, -3.742dBm But looking in Observium, I get this: [cid:image002.png@01D697E4.402E6B90] There's no data for RX power (which is the most interesting) and the data for TX power is wrong. I think this is an OEM SFP (the serial number looks weird), but if the switch can see the data, shouldn't Observium be able to pull it too? Temperature, voltage and current graphs are correct. ... and just now, when I clicked around, the correct values are now showing for TX and RX power in the graphs. What's going on?

Observium deleting switch entries instead of alerting
by Pisano, Anthony D. 30 Sep '20

30 Sep '20

Hello, I ran into a weird situation today that I’m unsure of how to proceed with. Due to a power failure we lost power to 3 of 4 switches in a Cisco 9300 Stack. At 10:57am yesterday in the event log of this switch I can see the OperStatus of the Stack Ports go down. I have an alert configured against the status of “Switch Stack Failure” does not equal OK. However this alert did not go off at the time of the outage, it has for other switch stacks though. Then at 5am this morning the logs of the device indicate it went through and essentially removed switches 2-4 of this stack. We are currently running 20.7.10549. I know we need to update, but our linux team has not gotten around to it. Is there anyway to look into this?

HTML Base tag appears wrong when using IPv6
by Pieter De Wit 29 Sep '20

Hi, Yes, this is “wrong” but I have an internal server which happens to have IPv6 and no DNS. If I access my Observium installation using the address, the generated HTML is as follow: <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <base href="http://[[2406:xxxx:xxxx:3300::202]]/"/> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8”/> The base setting has double brackets which breaks loading. (Yes, I can override this in the config :) ) Cheers, Pieter
