NTP MIB Question
by Ryan Huff 25 Feb '19

25 Feb '19

I see OBS has a Cisco NTP MIB.. when I add Cisco devices (like a router for example), that is also running NTP services (ntp server... etc), I don’t see where OBS is showing the information for the device. When I look at the MIBs under device properties, it doesn’t appear to be there, though the MIB is in the /opt/Observium/mib/cisco folder.... Anyone know if there is anything special you have to do to get these MIBs working? Thanks, Ryan Sent from my iPhone

SNMP hardware detection bugged
by Peter Watts 24 Feb '19

24 Feb '19

We have a few hundred Cisco 880 series routers (approximately four different variants). Since ~4 days ago, they're all getting reported as the same hardware now - C887VA-K9 Here's an example - actually is a CISCO887VA-K9 - from poller.php 19.2.9721: ##### Module Start: os ##### o OS Poller Group o Vendor Cisco o Hardware C887VA-K9 o Version 15.3(3)M9 o Features UNIVERSALK9 o Serial FGL1811239Z o Asset <empty> >From snmpget: (entPhysicalDescr) iso.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.2.1 = STRING: "887VA chassis, Hw Serial#: FGL1811239Z, Hw Revision: 1.0" (entPhysicalContainedIn) iso.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.4.1 = INTEGER: 0 (entPhysicalName) iso.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.7.1 = STRING: "887VA" (entPhysicalSoftwareRev) iso.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.10.1 = STRING: "15.3(3)M9, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)" (entPhysicalSerialNum) iso.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.11.1 = STRING: " FGL1811239Z" (entPhysicalModelName) iso.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.13.1 = STRING: "CISCO887VA-K9" In the device logs: 2019-02-18 08:46:04 aus0264-r1 Hardware changed: 'CISCO887VA-K9' -> 'C887VA-K9' EB Games | ZiNG Pop Culture | Peter Watts | Infrastructure Supervisor | Australia & New Zealand | Peter.Watts(a)ebgames.com<mailto:Peter.Watts@ebgames.com> | +61 7 3860 7757 | 0438 636 110

PHP Weathermap security issue.
by Hamilton, Kent 22 Feb '19

22 Feb '19

Has anyone solved the security issue with PHP Weathermap such that it honors observium permissions? Currently if you are using weathermap anyone can reach your maps without a password if they know the standard URL for the weathermaps. This is an issue for us as we allow external access to our observium server, but have to block the weathermaps using .htaccess files. ________________________________ This e-mail and any documents accompanying it may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information belonging to Exegy, Inc.

Alerts Not Sending to Contacts
by Alex 22 Feb '19

22 Feb '19

Good Morning Adam, I recently raised a ticket in jira OBS-2905. I have an instance of Observium running 19.1.9661 and have enabled alerting for a memory check at 70% for one of our hosts. This alert message works as expected on the web interface, the issue is that it is not sending the alert to the contacts (both slack and email). When tested with the test_alert.php script the emails send correctly this leads me to believe that the configuration of the email is not the issue. Do you have any other suggestions as to what I can test to make the alerts send to my contacts correctly when they are naturally generated? Kind Regards, Alex

Hi, Is it possible to aggregate grahps from a selected graph, eg. firewall sessions within a device group? I have made one for all our Cisco security contexts and want to see total sessions at once See attachment Best regards Christian

Renamed interface - how to keep unified history?
by Adam Thompson 21 Feb '19

21 Feb '19

I made a change on one of our routers that caused a new ifIndex & name to be assigned to a customer circuit (interface). Observium is correctly reporting the data on the old virtual i/f (which still technically exists) and – naturally – separately on the new virtual i/f. Is there any way to (retroactively???) tell Observium that these are really the same interface, and to display only one graph for the two ifIndexes? Or, if I correct the situation so the old ifIndex & name is being showing traffic again, is there any way to move, or inject, the collected data on the ‘new’ port into the ‘old’ port’s RRDs? (i.e. avoid a multi-day gap in a multi-year dataset) We are reasonably up-to-date, running 19.2.9712 – not sure what other info will be helpful here. Thanks, -Adam Adam Thompson Consultant, Infrastructure Services [merlin-email-logo] 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/>

Alert Checker Question
by Ryan Huff 20 Feb '19

20 Feb '19

I have an alert checker called, "device down" and it tests for "device_status = 0". Occasionally, this alert will fire, but the underlying OS still has network connectivity to these device (ICMP). What this tells me, is that the underlying SNMP daemon on the server may be malfunctioning, because if OBS can't make and SNMP poll to a device, it makes sense to me that it would think the device_status = 0 for that device. So given that this doesn't seem to be an OBS issue, is it something others have encountered and found away around? I'm Ubuntu 18.04 here... just wondering if I need to throttle the poller or if there are other known way the community has addressed this? Thanks, Ryan

L2/L3VPN issues with Juniper MIBs
by Luis Balbinot 19 Feb '19

19 Feb '19

Hi. This has been bothering me for some time but I've only got the time to look at it now. When we list Ports for any given Juniper device we get a nice green label right below the speed/MTU/lag column with the name of the VRF when it's an L3VPN. Why not the same for L2VPNs? That would be nice, specially if the RT is encoded in the name (makes tracking issues easier). Second, on the righthand side of the Ports table there's an unnamed column right next to the MAC Address with some information regarding the interfaces, LAG membership, etc. There's a xconnect icon that is supposed to show the remote interface and device for L2VPNs, but that's completely messed up (see image attached). Are you aware of that? Can that be fixed? The device is correct, but the interface isn't. The same goes for L3VPN. The interfaces shown on that right column are not endpoints of the same VPN and even the devices are wrong. I'd love to help on that. Just checking ahead to see if there's anything stopping you from fixing it at MIB level or something. Thanks! Luis

Session lifetime
by Ricardo Franco Cantero 18 Feb '19

18 Feb '19

Hi, We just upgraded our Observium and (perhaps it's already mentioned but the archive doesn't work) since the upgrade we keep being logged out every 30 minutes or so. We have it running on a large screen but every 30 minutes (it looks like 30 minutes, haven't timed it) it need to enter my credentials again to log in. I know I can check the box Remember my Credentials but that's not what I'm asking. I want it to keep the session alive longer like it did. Kind regards, Ricardo Franco Cantero
