ASR-9000 PSU Status / Alarms
by Robert Williams 17 Nov '17

17 Nov '17

Hi all, Just noticed a strange problem with reporting alarms on the ASR9001 (XR5.3.4). A lab router was reloaded and when it came back up there is a "Major" chassis alarm as one of the two PSUs has failed. However, neither the PSU failure nor the 'MAJ' alarm status are detected by Observium. Even after a full discovery and polling, it is all green and happy on Observium it seems. In fact, it shows only 1 PSU now, even though two are installed and one is in a failed state: (All other 9001 have 2 x "ASR-9001 AC Power Supply" entries here) Console output confirms the fault and the presence of the major alarm, as well as a few different things (like N+1 resilience lost and 'Capacity') which could be used to detect this issue (if they are in Cisco-SNMP-land that is). #show env power R/S/I Modules Capacity Status (W) 0/PS0/M0/* host PM 750 Ok 0/PS0/M1/* host PM 0 Failed <<<<<<<< #show env power <snip> N+1 Supply Protected Capacity Available: Not Protected <<<<<<<< #show environment leds R/S/I Modules LED Status 0/RSP0/* host Critical-Alarm Off host Major-Alarm On <<<<<<<< host Minor-Alarm Off RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:RTR-123(admin)#show env power states Wed Nov 15 16:59:15.135 GMT R/S/I State MaxPower Time Count (1-ON/2-OFF) (W) (YY:WK:DD:HH:MIN:SS) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 0/PS0/M0/* 1 750 00:00:00:00:59:27 1 2 0 00:00:00:00:00:00 0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 0/PS0/M1/* 1 0 00:00:00:00:00:00 0 2 0 00:00:00:00:59:27 1 <<<<<< '2 = Off' so......Can anything be done to tune-up the detection of such issues? In this case it was pure chance I noticed the fault after the reload as I had to be physically in front of it to patch something in. Otherwise I'd not have known. Any ideas? Cheers!

Re: [Observium] Cisco Cat6500/7600 CPU/Memory stats changed?

OK, confirmed it broke between r8930 and r8945. Rolled back to 8930 (well, 8929) and it all came back. ..Ron From: Ron Marosko [mailto:ron@rjr-services.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 14, 2017 6:27 PM To: observium(a)observium.org Subject: Cisco Cat6500/7600 CPU/Memory stats changed?

observations on link flapping
by Edvinas K 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

Hello, Observium did a very good job providing such a good application for monitoring network state. I'm very thankful for that. But ofcourse some pieces are missing. For example monitoring of interfaces flap. I wanted to ask - what is you solution to monitor a link flaps ? Do you do SYSLOG monitoring for that ? Or some kind of separate SNMP-TRAP software ? can you give any recommendation ? Thanks

monitoring power supply (PSU) count on each device
by Edvinas K 13 Nov '17

13 Nov '17

Hello, I think observium can, but not sure how to monitor a Power Supply count on each device. For example every device have 2 PSU's. Even the observium graphs are showing that count. So, how it's possible to add the PSU count as the alert checker ? I think im lost in entities world.. Thanks

Syslog alerting
by Tero Kykkänen 13 Nov '17

13 Nov '17

Hi, We have Observium Version 17.11.8943 installed on a Linux 4.4.0-98-generic [amd64] (Ubuntu 16.04) server. We made syslog integration with syslog-ng and tried to do syslog alerting but we can't get it to work, for some reason it says "No logging alert entries found!". We do see those alerts in the syslog tab but not on the alert tab. [cid:image001.png@01D358A4.9932F210] [cid:image002.png@01D358A4.9932F210] I will happily give more information if needed.
