Palo Alto New MIBs
by Chip Pleasants 02 Jun '14

Hi All, I'm wondering if there is being work done or if its on a to do list to add the new MIB attributes for Palo Alto firewalls? There are a few new VPN OID's we'd like to monitor. Let me know if this a donation topic, and feel free to contact me privately. Thanks, Chip

Graphing Apple Airport traffic
by Steve Evans 01 Jun '14

01 Jun '14

Firstly, I have to say how impressed I am with the clean, purposeful implementation of Observium. One of the main reasons I was looking for such an SNMP network manager was to monitor my four apple airport base stations. Whilst Observium recognises such devices, and graphs the wirelessNumber from the AIRPORT-BASESTATION-3-MIB if does not graph the corresponding physicalInterfacesTable traffic. Whilst the ifTable is graphed this doesn't actually include the wireless connections. This information would be very useful to determine how many packets are being passed on the wireless interface and at what speed. I've yet to dig into the structure of the code much, but presumably the physicalInterfacesTable could be logged/graphed using code very similar to that used for the ifTable. Something that would also be very useful, would be to list the currently attached clients which could be reported in a similar manner to the ARP/NDP Table using information sourced from the wirelessClientsTable to display MAC address and speed/signal strength/noise. This information could be instantaneous rather than logged as the airport base stations appear not to actually return the number of packets passed despite the MIB supporting this. This looks like the simpler task. Finally, some might be interested in the DHCP allocations, but as I run all my base stations in bridged mode that wouldn't be of interest to be. So, before I start looking at the code, I thought I should ask if anybody is already looking into this? Thanks, Steve

Geocoding debugging help
by Chris Moody 30 May '14

30 May '14

Howdy folks. Can anyone please help provide me some syntax to try debugging the geocoding calls that place devices properly on the map? I'm running 2 installations[Observium CE 0.13.10.4586]: - 1 test host (geocoding works great) - 1 production host (geocoding isn't working) The prod host is behind proxies whereas the test host is not, so I'm next to 110% positive that this is what's preventing the geocoding calls from functioning, but I could use a hand in how to further debug the details of where/how it's failing. I've specified the proxy server details in the config.php file, but am not confident that connections are actually getting through. It's quite possible that the geocoding URLs are not currently permitted through the proxies. I need some more ammo though to go back to my proxy admins so that I can get their help in permitting this connectivity if it's denied. Are thereany commands I can run or debugging flags I can toggle to help extract more details? I've tried both the mapquest & google provider to no avail, so need to get deeper under the hood to troubleshoot further. Any insights or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Cheers, -Chris

You could tcpdump on both the prod and tests hosts then show the results to your proxy admins.

Device status changed to Down (snmp)
by overige＠vanderpoel.com.au 29 May '14

29 May '14

Hi, I recently installed Observium CE and noticed some very weird behavior. Observium monitors currently 3 devices: 1 Debian Server + 1 Debian workstation + 1 Ubuntu workstation. The Debian workstation is shutdown overnight and rebooted in the morning, nicely shown in the Event logging: Shutdown: *<date time> System Device status changed to Down (ping)* Reboot: *<date time> System Device status changed to Up <date time> Reboot Device rebooted after <hours min sec> * That's all fine. But now the weird thing is that for the Server the Event log says almost at the same time: *<date time> System Device status changed to Down (snmp)* and when the workstation is rebooted, the Server Event log says at almost the same time: *<date time> System Device status changed to Up* Graphs for the server don't get updated/have data for the time the Debian workstation is down. The Ubuntu workstation runs 24/7 and graphs get properly updated during time the Debian workstation is down. I would expect that what happened with the workstation should have no effect on the data collection of the Server. Details: Observium CE 0.14.4.5229 OS Debian 7 (Server + Workstation) Ubuntu 10.40 LTS (Workstation 24/7) How do I get this working properly? Thanx, Pieter
