Re: [Observium] Issues installing Observium on Ubuntu 10.04.4

Hi, I am baffled about exactly the same thing; why is it using something not configured. I do not know about config.php.inc, below are the credentials configured on the config.php file including what I have configured on the database itself. ### Database config $config['db_host'] = "localhost"; $config['db_user'] = "observium"; $config['db_pass'] = "xxxxxx"; $config['db_name'] = "observium"; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON observium.* TO 'observium'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'xxxxxx'; I can also connect to the database using the configured credentials; brucem@ubuntu:/opt/observium$ mysql -u observium -pxxxxxx Welcome to the MySQL monitor.

No graphs displayed
by Ian Armstrong 10 May '12

10 May '12

Sorry if this is a newbie question I have installed Observium on a fresh Ubuntu 11.10 installation. Everything has gone absolutely perfectly. I used apt-get and installed all of the required packages as per the Ubutu installation page. It is running OK and has discovered the devices on my network. However, there is no information on any graphs. Not a single one. All the ports are correctly detected and it reading IP addresses and arp caches and most other information including CDP. No information on any graph and some are simply saying draw error. Syslog is reporting the cron jobs setup as per the instructions (below) are running without error. 33 */6 * * * root /opt/observium/discovery.php -h all >> /dev/null 2>&1 */5 * * * * root /opt/observium/discovery.php -h new >> /dev/null 2>&1 */5 * * * * root /opt/observium/poller.php -h all >> /dev/null 2>&1 Help appreciated.

by Bruce-Young Majola 10 May '12

10 May '12

Hi, I am trying to install the latest version Observium on a new Ubuntu 10.04.4 server and I for some reason cannot get past the inserting default schema stage, see the errors I am getting below. brucem@ubuntu:/opt/observium$ sudo php includes/sql-schema/update.php PHP Notice: Undefined index: alerts in /opt/observium/includes/functions.php on line 21 -- Updating database schema 000 -> 001 ...PHP Warning: mysql_query(): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /opt/observium/includes/sql-schema/update.php on line 102 PHP Warning: mysql_query(): A link to the server could not be established in /opt/observium/includes/sql-schema/update.php on line 102 PHP Warning: mysql_query(): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /opt/observium/includes/sql-schema/update.php on line 102 PHP Warning: mysql_query(): A link to the server could not be established in /opt/observium/includes/sql-schema/update.php on line 102 PHP Warning: mysql_query(): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /opt/observium/includes/sql-schema/update.php on line 102 PHP Warning: mysql_query(): A link to the server could not be established in /opt/observium/includes/sql-schema/update.php on line 102 ..................... ..................... 019 -> 020 ...PHP Warning: mysql_query(): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /opt/observium/includes/sql-schema/update.php on line 102 PHP Warning: mysql_query(): A link to the server could not be established in /opt/observium/includes/sql-schema/update.php on line 102 PHP Warning: mysql_query(): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /opt/observium/includes/sql-schema/update.php on line 102 PHP Warning: mysql_query(): A link to the server could not be established in /opt/observium/includes/sql-schema/update.php on line 102 PHP Warning: mysql_query(): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /opt/observium/includes/sql-schema/update.php on line 102 PHP Warning: mysql_query(): A link to the server could not be established in /opt/observium/includes/sql-schema/update.php on line 102 PHP Warning: mysql_query(): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /opt/observium/includes/sql-schema/update.php on line 102 PHP Warning: mysql_query(): A link to the server could not be established in /opt/observium/includes/sql-schema/update.php on line 102 PHP Warning: mysql_query(): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /opt/observium/includes/sql-schema/update.php on line 102 PHP Warning: mysql_query(): A link to the server could not be established in /opt/observium/includes/sql-schema/update.php on line 102 PHP Warning: mysql_query(): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /opt/observium/includes/sql-schema/update.php on line 102 PHP Warning: mysql_query(): A link to the server could not be established in /opt/observium/includes/sql-schema/update.php on line 102 Everything up to this stage went without a glitch including configuring the correct DB credentials in the config.php file and also on the MySQL database itself, so I am not sure where I am going wrong. I will appreciate any help. Thank. Regards, Bruce-Young Majola

rrdcached working?
by Jeffrey Ollie 09 May '12

09 May '12

Hi, I discovered Observium a few days ago and I really like what I see so far. However, I'm running into some issues trying to scale up to the size of my network. The first issue that I thought I'd bring up is rrdcached support... is it actually working? I've got an rrdcached instance running but as far as I can tell Observium isn't making any real use of it. I switched to a TCP/IP socket for rrdcached and I can see a TCP/IP socket being opened but no data or commands are ever sent across the socket... Can anyone clue me in as to what I may be doing wrong? I'm running rev 3149 on a Fedora 16 system. -- Jeff Ollie

by Nikolay Shopik 09 May '12

09 May '12

Here is exampele of negative values drawing on graph while values are positive is this intended? http://demo.observium.org/graphs/type=device_netstat_snmp/id=33/to=13363435… Also on my installation graphs doesn't show negative lines, until you press "hide legend", but preview [day,week,month selection] are correctly drawn.

SNMP Location can't have forward-slash
by Robert Williams 09 May '12

09 May '12

Hi, Just noticed a small issue, when an SNMP 'location' contains a forward slash (/) then the link doesn't work in the location's menu, for example: With a location set to "THN/TFM-10/C5" on the device, the link is auto-generated as "http://<server>/devices/location=THN%2FTFM-10%2FC5/" which then results in the error: Not Found The requested URL /devices/location=THN/TFM-10/C5/ was not found on this server. Currently running: Observium 0.12.4.2956 Apache 2.2.20 (Ubuntu) PHP 5.3.6-13ubuntu3.7 MySQL 5.1.62-0ubuntu0.11.10.1-log This isn't critical at all, but since I just noticed it I thought I'd mention it :) Cheers!

Possibility too acknowledge items in Overview
by Mattias Gyllenvarg 09 May '12

09 May '12

Hi All We see alot of jabber on the Overview page that is not really necessary and makes it hard too differ important information from trivial information. We would like too be able too Acknowledge items in the Overview so that it is not spammed with ports that are down for known reasons. Perhaps you could comment on the Ack and/or mark with a category (maintenance, power outage etc etc). Additionally I think that keywords in descriptions could generate different results in the overview (like ports are aggregated but for states). So that ports that are marked for installation and waiting for link should be hidden when down and shown green when up so that the provisioning team notices this and can take action. I see somewhere you can define a regexp that will look at the interface description and when true would inverse the up/down relationship. Also, bug, when the uptime counter loops on IOS devices they are marked as reloaded. -- *Med Vänliga Hälsningar - Best Regards* *Mattias Gyllenvarg* *Nätutveckling* Bredband2 - bara hårda paket Tel: +46 406219712

I see the demo has some graphs on the overall system overview page. Looked around and don't see how to specify graphs to be shown there. How is this accomplished? Thanks. Chris -- Chris Stone AxisInternet, Inc. www.axint.net
