how to avoid false-positives (device down/up), on HPE switches and Aruba APs
by Thomas Stather 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

Hi Observium: 18.1.9011 (stable, subscribtion) We are monitoring our networking infrastructure with Observium and for a long time, i am seeing some false-positives. The poller period is 5 minutes and i.e. on 10:00am Observium reports a switch beeing down, where at 10:05am it reports it as beeing up again. This happens to HPE network gear (switches) as well as to wireless APs (Aruba). I set |$config['ping']['debug'] = TRUE; ||$config['ping']['timeout'] = 500; ||| |in config.php and will now monitor if that helps. Is there anything else i can try to solve this issue?| Best, Thomas -- Thomas Stather IT Services VCP4, VCP6-DCV Tel: +49 6221-486 628 Fax: +49 6221-486 561 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Max Planck Institute for Medical Research (MPImF) Jahnstrasse 29, 69120 Heidelberg Germany

SQL Query
by Andrew Lemin 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

Hi Adam, Hope you are well. Just a quick question about the Observium database schema. I need to write a simple query that will return a list of device names and the IP addresses which Observium uses for its polling (we don’t need or want any other addresses). I had a look and found tables ‘devices’ and ‘ipv4_addresses’. And I can see the device_id foreign key etc, so obtaining all the IPs for a device is trivial enough. But I am not sure how to best filter for just the IP which Observium uses for polling. I recently built a DNS zone for our network team using PowerDNS, and I just need to export all the devices and their management IPs from Observium, so I can inject the records into PowerDNS. So nothing fancy, but we have a couple hundred records.. Kind regards, Andy Lemin

Hi, devices polling not use tables with *_addresses, only hostnames. Hostnames resolve IP during polling by DNS query (or system hosts file). > Andrew Lemin <mailto:AndrewL@4d-dc.com> > 6 July 2018 at 12:36 > > Hi Adam, > > Hope you are well. > > Just a quick question about the Observium database schema. > > I need to write a simple query that will return a list of device names > and the IP addresses which Observium uses for its polling (we don’t > need or want any other addresses). > > I had a look and found tables ‘devices’ and ‘ipv4_addresses’. > > And I can see the device_id foreign key etc, so obtaining /all/ the > IPs for a device is trivial enough.

Using professional edition license for testing
by Erdem HAKI 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

Hello, I want to migrate Observium professional edition to a new server, my plan is to install everything and testing them on the new box before moving data(rrd, database etc.). I saw "The subscription license is valid for a single production installation and two testing or development installations." on the page so I want to make sure that how should I handle license operation. I only can see one user/pass for my subscription when I logged in. Can I use it on the new box to download another Observium professional edition and test my build before moving data while my production Observium is still operational? Best

Possibility to disable/enable syslog view for user
by Klimek, Denis 04 Jul '18

04 Jul '18

Hi, what would you think about adding another permission level to disable/enable the possibility to view the syslog entries of a device? We have the situation that some external users must have access to specific devices and graphs, but this also includes syslog entries... and we simply do not want to show them this log entries i.e. cli commands that have been executed.

average trend line to the aggregate storage graphs
by Richard Wigzell 04 Jul '18

04 Jul '18

Hi, is it possible to add an average trend line to the aggregate storage graphs? Similar to what is on the standard usage Graph. We are looking for a way to do some simple and rough storage growth prediction for an number of volumes as an aggregate. If this is something we could do natively with Observium that would be great but if anyone has done something similar with the RRDs and can share that would also be good.

Cisco ADSL port only shows one speed
by Tim Bates 03 Jul '18

03 Jul '18

Hello experts.... I have 2 Cisco routers with ADSL ports. Observium is showing the low (outbound) speed on these ports, however I am more interested in the higher (inbound) speed. When we have line problems, the outbound speed generally doesn't change much (maybe by a few kbps), but the inbound can drop from ~7mbps to under 1mbps. This drastic inbound speed change is what I'd like to monitor, graph and get alerts on... Is there a way to get the other speed to show instead (or in addition)? I can see the Cisco ADSL MIB listed, and enabled, but this is obviously not enough. I can't see any other obvious settings, and Google was not my friend on this one. TB

Graphs for Juniper SRX Showing incorrect speed spike
by TAN Lists 02 Jul '18

02 Jul '18

Hey All, I have a weird issue with some interface graphs for a SRX240H where it will show the speed spiking to 10+GB/s on a 1GB/s port and for the life of me, I can't figure out why. https://pasteboard.co/Hss2xMm.png Observium I think is polling the 32 bit OIDs, but the webUI says it is 64bit Polling with Cacti shows correct traffic on both 32 and 64 bit OIDs - https://pasteboard.co/Hss2agw.png I also see a similar issue with a SRX110H where the VDSL interface (which is hard capped to 12MB/s) is showing 50+MB/s which is not possible. https://pasteboard.co/Hss2kcf.png Not sure how else to debug this, I have a feeling that this might be an issue within Observium, but advice appreciated. Devices are: Juniper SRX240H JunOS 12.1X46-D72.2 (Internet Router) Juniper SRX110H2-VA JunOS 12.3X48-D55.4 (Internet Router) Version Information *Observium CE* 17.9.0 (25th September 2017) *OS* Linux 3.10.0-862.3.2.el7.x86_64 [amd64] (CentOS 7) *Apache* 2.4.6 (CentOS) OpenSSL/1.0.2k-fips mod_fcgid/2.3.9 PHP/5.6.36 *PHP* 5.6.36 *Python* 2.7.5 *MySQL* 5.5.56-MariaDB (extension: mysqli 5.5.56-MariaDB) *SNMP* NET-SNMP 5.7.2 *RRDtool* 1.6.0 Thoughts on fixing / troubleshooting appreciated Have tried deleting devices and re-adding, beyond that, not sure what else to do.
