Services checking?
by Adam Ward 26 Mar '19

26 Mar '19

Hello, I see the service discovery options and enabled the “services” module. I am not seeing any services on the device like it shows on your site’s screenshots. I’m an enterprise customer. Please let me know if there’s something I am missing, or if there’s more documentation around this functionality. I really need to do basic HTTP checks. I see there was some support at one time using nagious-esque plugins, but I can’t seem to find any references to the code of the actual services checks? I saw it only works for device type “server” but, even on the local OBS, the services module doesn’t really do anything. I desperately need this functionality: http://www.observium.org/images/ss-dev-linux-2x.png I see the queries in the debug logging for the web UI device page, but since the services table doesn’t have any discovered services, I can’t see anything. SELECT COUNT(service_id) FROM `services` WHERE `device_id` = '1' SELECT COUNT(service_id) FROM `services` WHERE `device_id` = '1' AND `service_status` = '1' AND `service_ignore` ='0' SELECT COUNT(service_id) FROM `services` WHERE `device_id` = '1' AND `service_status` = '0' AND `service_ignore` = '0' SELECT COUNT(service_id) FROM `services` WHERE `device_id` = '1' AND `service_ignore` = '1' Here’s the snippet of the debug output for the discovery phase: ##### Module Start: services ##### Services: CMD[/usr/bin/snmpbulkwalk -v2c -c 'MHikJ8dloru_flZ' -Pu -Osqn -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp 'udp':'localhost':'161' .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2] CMD EXITCODE[0] CMD RUNTIME[0.0045s] STDOUT[ .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.34345 34345 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.36227 36227 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.42326 42326 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.44522 44522 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.45104 45104 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.45205 45205 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.46519 46519 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.48629 48629 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.48831 48831 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.50874 50874 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.52511 52511 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.53048 53048 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.54029 54029 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.54891 54891 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.57027 57027 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.58503 58503 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.0.0.0.0.60052 60052 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.10.2.2.70.68 68 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.127.0.0.1.161 161 .1.3.6.1.2.1.7.5.1.2.127.0.0.53.53 53 ] SNMP STATUS[TRUE] o Duration 0.0059s Adam Ward Systems Engineer Shamrock Trading Corporation Office Phone/Fax: (913) 310-2247 Email: award(a)rtsfinancial.com<mailto:award@rtsfinancial.com> Website: www.shamrocktradingcorp.com<http://www.shamrocktradingcorp.com/> This e-mail communication (including any attachments) is intended only for use by the individual or entity named above and is considered confidential.

Alerts based on Juniper FW counters
by Jason Lixfeld 25 Mar '19

25 Mar '19

Hello, Using Observium Professional, svn up’d today. For Juniper MX, the Firewall tab graphs firewall filters, policers, etc., however I can’t seem to find a way to create alerts based on any of those values. Am I missing it somewhere or is that not supported? Specifically I’m looking to be alerted when there is a policer violation. Thanks in advance.

Vendor & Hardware Changes in event log
by mal＠platinumnetworks.com.au 25 Mar '19

25 Mar '19

I am constantly seeing updates in the event log telling me that the Vendor and Hardware details have been ‘changed’. It looks like this is happening for all devices even though none of those details have actually changed. I’d like to monitor the event log for things that actually happen 😊. Do I need to change anything to exclude these warnings about non-existent changes? FYI I’m running 19.3.9774 Cheers Mal

How to configure "Entity Association Ruleset" section of Alert checker for Device = * and Entity = *
by Andrew Lemin 22 Mar '19

22 Mar '19

Hi, Some time ago when creating Alert Checkers, the “Device Match” and “Entity Match” fields were freeform logic statements, which allowed you to enter complex logic or just the * wildcard to match all; [cid:image001.png@01D4E0AD.B7B51910] We want to create a new generic Sensor based Alert Checker as per the examples in; https://github.com/mgmoerman/docs/blob/master/observium-alert-checkers.md Alert Entity type Check Conditions Check Conditions boolean Device match Entity match State sensor is in ALERT state! Status status_event = alert status_event = warning ANY * * However, the new Alert Checker section no longer allows freeform “Device Match” and “Entity Match” fields, and instead provides a new “Entity Association Ruleset” section providing a logic builder for the Entity Match (which is very helpful), however we cannot figure out how to encode wildcards/* to match all for the Devices and Entities using the new editor? [cid:image002.png@01D4E0AD.B7B51910] Thanks, Andy.

Limit device information to normal user
by Fiberwide Sysadmins 21 Mar '19

21 Mar '19

Hi all, do You know if there is a way to not show the device info to a normal user? I want to give access to our customer to the statistics graphs of their lines, but i don't want to let the user know on which hardware is this line and the other info like the operative system, uptime, last reboot... Just the graphs of the ports I enabled to that user, nothing more.

Quick Questions
by Adam Ward 21 Mar '19

21 Mar '19

Hey All, I know these questions have probably been asked a lot, but after searching the answers weren’t really clear. Can you please help me build a case to pay for the software? ☺ - Observium seems to support graphing application metrics, but I don't see any entity types for applications to key on in alert checkers. Is there any way to make the metrics available to the alert checkers? (Found a post about this but it was 4 years ago) - Can I use smokeping port checks to cover service checks (i.e. simple TCP connection tests) or can I key (alert) on the smokeping metrics? - If we purchase the full version, which includes custom SNMP OID's, can I also alert on the custom OID data? I have scripts that currently do this with our other monitoring software. - If we purchase enterprise support, will we be able to see a better road map or any other improvements coming down the pipe? Overall, this product will replace all our infra monitoring for devices that it supports, if we can add a little additional functionality, we can probably get rid of more tools here! ☺ Adam Ward Systems Engineer Shamrock Trading Corporation Office Phone/Fax: (913) 310-2247 Email: award(a)rtsfinancial.com<mailto:award@rtsfinancial.com> Website: www.shamrocktradingcorp.com<http://www.shamrocktradingcorp.com/> This e-mail communication (including any attachments) is intended only for use by the individual or entity named above and is considered confidential.

Observium Enterprise
by Joelly, Alexander 20 Mar '19

20 Mar '19

Hello, Is there a docu or install guide for the distributed setup? I have manually installed the rrd and mysql server - the install script only has the option to install the community, pro stable, pro rolling and unix agent. How to I install the gui server and pollers properly that they are all getting updated? Do I have to run the install script on every poller and remove the packages I do not need on them - like mysql server? thx, Alex

Spurious Peaks and Troughs
by Terry Stone 18 Mar '19

18 Mar '19

We are seeing spurious peaks and troughs on some traces from a MX480 Juniper router. We are sure that these events are not actually occurring and are trying to track down the reason for them. I wonder if other users might be able to help? Thanks Terry
