Juniper logical interface confuse
by Eduardo Schoedler 18 May '16

18 May '16

I think Observium is confusing interfaces. Just now I reactivated a logical unit in juniper (xe-0/0/1.1698) and Observium thinks is ae0.3550. In event log: 2016-05-17 19:36:27 ae0.3550 IP address added: 2804:x:x:x:x:x:x:x/126 2016-05-17 19:36:27 ae0.3550 IP address added: 177.x.x.x/30 2016-05-17 19:36:24 ae0.3550 Interface DELETED mark removed [image: Imagem inline 1] In Juniper: login@rtr> show interfaces snmp-index 544 *Logical interface xe-0/0/1.1698 *(Index 332) (*SNMP ifIndex 544*) Description: VLAN-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Flags: Up SNMP-Traps 0x0 VLAN-Tag [ 0x8100.1698 ] Encapsulation: ENET2 Input packets : 490 Output packets: 4075 Protocol inet, MTU: 1500 Flags: Sendbcast-pkt-to-re, User-MTU, Sample-input Addresses, Flags: Is-Preferred Is-Primary Destination: 177.x.x.x/30, Local: 177.x.x.x, Broadcast: 177.x.x.x Protocol inet6, MTU: 1500 Flags: User-MTU, Sample-input Addresses, Flags: Is-Preferred Is-Primary Destination: 2804:x:x:x:x:x:x:x/126, Local: 2804:x:x:x:x:x:x:x I will send in private the discovery to Mike and Adam.

Hello Team, We just moved from Extreme to Brocade and found out that Observium does not detect properly the VDX Switch stack. It just has the logo with a "?". Any ideas if the VDX line from brocade will be add it to the Professional Version?

DPKG version listing order
by Alex Winder ( M5i Limited ) 17 May '16

17 May '16

Hi all, We've recently added the DPKG agent to some of our Debian hosts so that we can keep on top of what's up-to-date and what isn't. So far it's been quite helpful, except I have one small niggle with it, the way that it lists the version orders of the packages. See below: The nginx version on the above are listed in the order of: 1.8.0 1.8.1 1.9.11 1.9.12 1.9.14 1.9.15 1.9.5 1.9.9 Where if they were listed in version order they would be listed: 1.8.0 1.8.1 1.9.5 1.9.9 1.9.11 1.9.12 1.9.14 1.9.15 Is there anyway that this can be worked around, or is there any plan to implement a fix? Thanks, Alex.

Re: [Observium] Citrix Netscaler vServer
by Richard Wigzell 16 May '16

16 May '16

Thank you all for the replies and screenshots; they have been most helpful. I have one more question regarding the custom OID monitor, has anyone used this to capture BPDU counters? Specific use case: We cannot currently send syslog messages from all our network devices to the Observium host and would be looking to use BPDU counters as an indication that a spanning-tree event had occurred. I would also be interested to hear what others have done regarding spanning-tree alerts etc. Regards [cid:image001.jpg@01CE9215.D39244B0]<https://www.it.ox.ac.uk/> Richard Wigzell Networks, Security and Server Specialist IT Services | University of Oxford 13 Banbury Road, Oxford OX2 6NN T: 01865 616282 www.it.ox.ac.uk<https://www.it.ox.ac.uk/> From: observium [mailto:observium-bounces@observium.org] On Behalf Of Moerman, Maarten Sent: 13 May 2016 14:29 To: Observium Network Observation System Subject: Re: [Observium] Citrix Netscaler vServer Hi, See a LB vserver pool, and the vserver stats below: Vserver lists all services, and aggregated stats of the pool itself Service has: bits, packets, connections, requests, ttfb & surgecount There’s also more tcp stuff & ssl stuff in other tabs Maarten From: observium <observium-bounces(a)observium.org<mailto:observium-bounces@observium.org>> on behalf of Adam Armstrong <adama(a)memetic.org<mailto:adama@memetic.org>> Reply-To: Observium Network Observation System <observium(a)observium.org<mailto:observium@observium.org>> Date: Friday, May 13, 2016 at 1:39 PM To: Observium Network Observation System <observium(a)observium.org<mailto:observium@observium.org>> Subject: Re: [Observium] Citrix Netscaler vServer Hi, We don't really have a trial beyond CE (which effectively is the trial), but if you guys have Netscalers, the 150 quid is certainly super cheap for the amount of data we collect from them.

VMware polling broken?
by Ron Marosko 15 May '16

15 May '16

Hi guys, I think something got broken in polling of ESXI servers… not sure where exactly, but on or about 4 May, the “Operating System” section changed from the full build information to “Operating system VMware (build-)”. In “showtech” it looks like it’s this line: features=>build- Or am I smoking a green leafy substance? ….Ron -- This message has been scanned by E.F.A. Project and is believed to be clean.

Alert on high availability status change on Checkpoint
by Robin Cook 13 May '16

13 May '16

Hello, We have a few checkpoint firewalls and I am looking to generate email alerts when the HA status changes from OK to critical. The Observium logs look a bit like this when it occurs: 2016-05-12 16:58:30 High Availability (standby) Status Alert: cpnew02 High Availability (standby) entered ALERT state: CRITICAL (previous: OK) 2016-05-12 16:58:28 cpfw04 Features -> ClusterXL inactive or machine is down 2016-05-11 10:30:04 High Availability (standby) Status updated: checkpoint-ha-state haStatCode.0 High Availability (standby) 2016-05-11 10:28:03 High Availability (standby) Status Ok: cpnew02 High Availability (down) entered OK state: OK (previous: CRITICAL) Does anyone have any advice on how to build the alert checker for this? The high Availability icon looks to be a traffic lights one while the devices themselves show as the normal device icon - so I think they may be discovered as separate entities. I am also a bit unsure on how to filter to the OS "Check Point GAiA R77.45 (standby)" so for now have just been using device type firewall.

Unhide the hidden showtech tab
by Andy Lemin 13 May '16

13 May '16

Hi, Does anyone know how to unhide the "showtech" tab for all the devices? For example, go to somewhere like; https://observium/device/device=17/tab=ports/ And change the "ports" for "showtech". http://observium/device/device=<device_id>/tab=showtech/ This page is useful, and would be nice to have the button on the device page instead of having to remember a URL hack, when debugging missing data or problems monitoring devices etc (esp when using rancid and smokeping like we do). Hoping their is a secret config.php switch :) Thanks, Andy.
