Is there a way to add a checker for Cisco HSRP events? >From CISCO-HSRP-MIB... HsrpState ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION STATUS current DESCRIPTION "The current state of the HSRP protocol for a given HSRP group entry." SYNTAX INTEGER { initial(1), learn(2), listen(3), speak(4), standby(5), active(6) } This does not work... [cid:image003.jpg@01D0033A.077E5250] Regards, derek Subscriber v14.11.5987

Hi all, Xavier : About IO issues, did you make changes from rrdcached or Obervium/kernel tuning ? Муслим : The SQL Server has 8 Go RAM and CPU is really not used (95%Idle), and quite difficult to answer to memory question, the physical memory is used at 95% by buffers Cheers, -- Antoine Deisr ________________________________ Ce message et les pieces jointes sont confidentiels et reserves a l'usage exclusif de ses destinataires.

Problems
by Darian Jimenez 18 Nov '14

18 Nov '14

Hello, I have a couple of problems with observium which really hinder me trusting it's alerting feature etc. 1 - Some servers show as down, when in fact they aren't down and snmp is started (i've also tried to restart) 2 - Some server show as up and while I have an alert for storage to send warning only when its below 5% full it will send an alert saying C drive space is at 0% but in fact the servers have more than 10% left. Can these issue's be related to iop's or the polling time? I'd like to figure this out because the SNMP servers are windows servers and everytime one of them is down, I can't afford to troubleshoot by removing snmp and reinstalling it because windows requires a reboot, which I just can't do on domain controllers, file servers etc. Is it possible to put the login portal to observium on a seperate webpage completely so that customers can log into it from our site for example/

Assistance with Port Alert Checker
by Chip Pleasants 18 Nov '14

18 Nov '14

Hi all, I'm looking for a little help figuring our why my port alert checker didn't seem to work.I set up port alert checker to trigger when greater than 80%. The actual usage was at 100% for a couple hours. This is a gigabit interface set to 100m with a bandwidth statement. The screen shot reflects the 100m speed correctly. I've attached a couple screen shots with my port and alert check. Any ideas why it didn't fire off? Thanks, Chip

Performance

Hi, A solution for a large network like yours could be using a distributed architecture. Here is a feedback from our usage : Current architecture in our organisation graphs 2000 devices and 70k ports and target is 6000 devices. We have built a farm of Observium pollers ( 6 physical servers ) and 1 more for mysql server (+Apache for GUI). Our 6 poller servers are 70% CPU idle and disks are ok for now. We progressively are adding new devices. We did a small patch in mysql scheme, to add a "poller_id" into devices table. At each new device added, script "add_device.php" choose the poller the least used (based on numbers of devices per poller server). Each poller asks to SQL Server devices with its poller_id. The GUI server can read via NFS all rrd files stored in pollers. Hardware used for each poller is HP DL360 Gen7 / 4 GB RAM / 6 disks SAS 10k Raid 1+0 / 2*E5620 2.40Ghz (4 cores each). Here is a diagram : http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img538/3225/iMXiYb.png By the way, may it be a good idea to add this distributed feature for monitoring of large platforms (adding the poller_id field into devices table) ?

E-mail Notifications & Backend Settings
by Jacob Chavez 18 Nov '14

18 Nov '14

Hello, does anyone know which parameters need to be added within config.php to enable e-mail notifications. Also, where do I configure the backend settings? Is that in config.php as well? Below is what I got from the documentation and I was able to send a test e-mail from Observium, but not receive a message if a device was down when I tested that portion. Any help is appreciated. Thank you! Jacob Email backend settings $config['email']['enable'] = TRUE; Enable/Disable send email globally $config['email']['from'] = NULL; Mail from. Default: "Observium" <observium@`hostname -f`> $config['email']['default'] = NULL; Default alert recipient $config['email']['default_only'] = FALSE; Only use default recipient (all alerts send to default recipient) $config['email']['backend'] = 'mail'; Mail backend. Allowed: "mail" (PHP's built-in), "sendmail", "smtp". $config['email']['sendmail_path'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail'; // The location of the sendmail program. Sendmail specific options $config['email']['smtp_host'] = 'localhost'; // Outgoing SMTP server name. $config['email']['smtp_port'] = 25; // The port to connect. $config['email']['smtp_timeout'] = 10; // SMTP connection timeout in seconds. $config['email']['smtp_secure'] = NULL; // Enable encryption.

Power Statistics

How do I make an alert for power where it alerts me if my amperage (current) is over 80%. For me that would be about 11 AMPs on my UPS. -- Sincerely, Joshua Hopper, A+ CE Network Administrator [cid:image001.jpg@01CFFFFF.5CF8B420] 420 3rd Ave NW Hickory NC 28601 Office: 828-449-1839x2160 | Cell: 828-855-7565 Protect Plus Air Holdings, LLC and Affiliates, Protect Plus, LLC and Affiliates, Imagine One Resources, LLC and Affiliates, Protect Plus Surfaces, LLC and Affiliates Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail is intended only for the addressee named above.

Junos 4-byte ASN support
by bt 15 Nov '14

15 Nov '14

Hello, I tried digging through the mailing archives but jet lag from my recent trip is stymieing my efforts in finding relevant threads. I'm running 0.14.11.5945 and notice that 4-byte ASN is still not supported. We use 4-byte ASN for the greater range as we eventually plan to run eBGP down to our servers. On Junos devices -- anything from MX, QFX to SRX -- I notice that ASNs show as a negative integer (example "-94967243"). On our Cisco's, they show up as our favorite 23456. The main question is: Are the negative integers a limitation of the Junos MIB? On those individual devices I do not have a "tab=routing/proto=bgp/", the BGP sessions do not show up at all under the general "routing -> BGP All Sessions" tab, and consequently we're missing a large chunk of our network and we don't have any BGP alerts (though I have all the above with Cisco Nexus gear). Are there any workarounds or plans to support 4-byte ASN in Observium, specifically with Junos equipment? Thank you! bt
