all VMs Removed - why ?
by Thoralf Freitag 22 Feb '17

22 Feb '17

Hi, is there any idea, why observium has removed all VMs from the ESXi Server, like this: 1d 2h 3m Vm Virtual Machine deleted: vmware 564da96d-e3b0-b511-66cc-2a184a576652 1d 2h 3m Vm Virtual Machine deleted: vmware 564d8984-0864-6b78-7d91-36f2c13e53d6 1d 2h 3m Vm Virtual Machine deleted: vmware 564d4905-87d7-6fdf-bc72-753c916ef3c1 1d 2h 3m Vm Virtual Machine deleted: vmware 564d2060-e2e4-9949-97a6-28cb5f02e801 1d 2h 3m Vm Virtual Machine deleted: vmware 564d3421-27c8-04ea-7ef8-139af5ebcb5c 1d 2h 3m Vm Virtual Machine deleted: vmware 564d18eb-bad5-0691-7acf-3cb24787c0c1 1d 2h 3m Vm Virtual Machine deleted: vmware 564d523c-b392-e037-12e6-4c93b9dc82b1 1d 2h 3m Vm Virtual Machine deleted: vmware 564dc378-b321-2b72-176f-09c8fc5a1116 1d 2h 3m Vm Virtual Machine deleted: vmware 564db385-e361-5d0a-3167-d9a416357692 ... The tab for virtual machines no longer appears ... . There was no change at the ESXi. VMWARE-SYSTEM-MIB and VMWARE-VMINFO-MIB are enabled. I restarted the snmp agant at the ESXi host, run poller.php again , but it changes nothing. Thanks for any suggestions. lg. TF

Can't write new info to Observium
by Karolis Birgėla 22 Feb '17

22 Feb '17

Hello all, never happened to me before, but Obsevium acts strangely lately for me. When trying to add a new device via web, it sucessfully adds it, but it's page appears to be missing. It says something like 'You entered a device which does not exist' or something similar. What is more, when I want to manually change device's description on the web, it says 'Device record updated'. But the info that I've written has not appeared. What could have caused this? I don't remember doing any changes to my Observium server, except doing an update. Version 17.2.8364 (stable) Everything else works as it should. Thank you

ASR9k RAM Changes
by Robert Williams 22 Feb '17

22 Feb '17

Hi, Have there just been some changes to the ASR9k RAM detection? Suddenly after the overnight svn up we are seeing this for all 9k chassis: [cid:image001.png@01D28C23.56E5F220] These 3 new items are in alarm. The “reserved” and “image” are filtered from all other devices by existing config.php – but obviously no brackets on these ones. $config['ignore_mempool_string'][] = '(reserved)'; $config['ignore_mempool_string'][] = '(image)'; However, the ‘processor’ one is actually wrong as it seems to be using the CPU0 usage but a strange maximum of 3.81GB instead of 7.81GB. I can’t filter this out because it will drop all ‘processor’ types. I remember something historic relating to this where the maximums were showing as around 4GB even though there is 8GB installed and someone (Adam?) found and sorted it. This may or may not be related though. Cheers! Robert Williams Custodian Data Centre Email: Robert(a)CustodianDC.com http://www.CustodianDC.com

Alert regeneration via cli?
by Michael 22 Feb '17

22 Feb '17

Is there a way to regenerate the alerts from the cli? We have some checks that alert based on port state, dependent on conditions within a port description. But that matching is only performed during the alert regeneration, not during polling. So if the port description gets updated, the alert still triggers based on the old condition match... I'm thinking of running a regen via cron on a regular basis to try and minimise the false positives. Unless somebody has a better way to achieve a similar outcome? Thanks, Michael

Poller wrapper history graphs not updating
by Jesper Frank Nemholt 21 Feb '17

21 Feb '17

Hi! I have moved an instance from a physical server to a VM by moving over the database & RRD files + Observium $HOME. All works except one minor thing : The poller wrapper history (/pollerlog/ page) graphs do not update anymore. Also the RRD files do not update their timestamp since I moved the files to the new VM. The poller discovery/timing part of the same page does work properly, so it's only the top two graphs missing (or rather the graphs are there, but no new data is being added). Any idea why ? /Jesper

There’s currently work being done on redoing memory pools to ‘definitions’ – probably related.

Specify snmp timeout for single device.
by Gabriel Zamorski 20 Feb '17

20 Feb '17

Hey, I would like to ask if it is possible to specify snmp timeout for a single device in Observium? I tried to do that in Device > Properties > SNMP > Timeout, but each time I try to change this empty field to 100 or 200… I get info: “Device SNMP configuration update is not required” Regards, Gabriel

using hardware sensors
by Thoralf Freitag 19 Feb '17

19 Feb '17

Dear Observium community, is there any description of using hardware sensors? I've following issue. I'm operating a HP server with an Ilom under Ubuntu Linux. I configured in the device properties for ipmi: IPMI Hostname (IP address of the Ilom), IPMI Username (as configured at Ilom) IPMI Password, IPMI Userlevel (User) IPMI Interface (IPMI v2.0 RMCP+LAN Interface). Observium rekognized the sensors for temperature und fan speed. I did the same at an other HP server (same type) which is running ESXi 6.5 (HP customized Image). The Sensors are shown in the vSphre-Client and ESXi empeded host client UI. But for this host, Observium does not rekognize the sensors. How can this be explained ? Thanks. Lg. TF
