Alert Dependencies
by Spencer Ryan 20 May '16

20 May '16

I've asked about this before but how hard would it be for you guys to implement alert dependencies? The easiest way I can think of doing it would be to simply let us set a "parent" device for anything, and if that device is offline don't send any alerts for downstream devices. For example we have a testlab that has no UPS/Generator power that we monitor about 200 devices, when the building loses power we get those 200 alarms about devices being offline, when in reality there is a single 6500 as the gateway, and if that switch is offline, i know the rest will be. We don't want to disable the offline alarms because we do want to know when individual devices drop out.

RRD Files - Error Drawing Graph - Before you groan, its limited to OpenBSD and I have an RRDCommand.. ; )
by Andy Lemin 20 May '16

20 May '16

Hi, On Observium commercial, all of our OpenBSD firewalls fail to draw the "Processors" graph on the device Overview page :( However if you go to the "Graphs" tab on the Device page, the "Processors" graphs do draw.. It seems to only be limited to the "Overview" tab on the device page. Our Linux servers, Cisco, HP gear etc are all fine. For both the OpenBSD firewalls and the Linux servers, the Processors graph on the Overview page seems to be based on "Device (ucd_ss_cpu)". But the Processors graph which does work looks to be based on "Device (processor)". So it seems that "Device (ucd_ss_cpu)" is not populated for OpenBSD, where Observium thinks it should be. Here is the RRD Command for a failing one; root@intermap:/opt/observium/rrd/ar1406.live.brandwatch.net# /usr/bin/rrdtool graph /tmp/11MUfpl7O7LSQtoX.png -g -Y --lower-limit 0 --alt-autoscale-max --start 1463587788 --end 1463674188 --width 1152 --height 300 -c BACK#EEEEEE00 -c SHADEA#EEEEEE00 -c SHADEB#EEEEEE00 -c FONT#000000 -c CANVAS#FFFFFF00 -c GRID#a5a5a5 -c MGRID#FF9999 -c FRAME#5e5e5e -c ARROW#5e5e5e -R normal --font LEGEND:8:'DroidSansMono,DejaVuSansMono' --font AXIS:7:'DroidSansMono,DejaVuSansMono' --font-render-mode normal -E COMMENT:' Now Min Max Avg' COMMENT:'\l' CDEF:total= HRULE:0#555555 ERROR: String ends after the = sign on 'CDEF:total=' Here is the RRD Command for a Linux device which works; root@intermap:/opt/observium/rrd/ar1406.live.brandwatch.net# /usr/bin/rrdtool graph /tmp/vskuqlACvSuyBGUW.png -g -Y --lower-limit 0 --alt-autoscale-max --start 1463587973 --end 1463674373 --width 1152 --height 300 -c BACK#EEEEEE00 -c SHADEA#EEEEEE00 -c SHADEB#EEEEEE00 -c FONT#000000 -c CANVAS#FFFFFF00 -c GRID#a5a5a5 -c MGRID#FF9999 -c FRAME#5e5e5e -c ARROW#5e5e5e -R normal --font LEGEND:8:'DroidSansMono,DejaVuSansMono' --font AXIS:7:'DroidSansMono,DejaVuSansMono' --font-render-mode normal -E COMMENT:' Now Min Max Avg' COMMENT:'\l' DEF:ssCpuRawUser=/opt/observium/rrd/ ar1406.live.brandwatch.net/ucd_ssCpuRawUser.rrd:value:AVERAGE DEF:ssCpuRawNice=/opt/observium/rrd/ ar1406.live.brandwatch.net/ucd_ssCpuRawNice.rrd:value:AVERAGE DEF:ssCpuRawSystem=/opt/observium/rrd/ ar1406.live.brandwatch.net/ucd_ssCpuRawSystem.rrd:value:AVERAGE DEF:ssCpuRawWait=/opt/observium/rrd/ ar1406.live.brandwatch.net/ucd_ssCpuRawWait.rrd:value:AVERAGE DEF:ssCpuRawInterrupt=/opt/observium/rrd/ ar1406.live.brandwatch.net/ucd_ssCpuRawInterrupt.rrd:value:AVERAGE DEF:ssCpuRawSoftIRQ=/opt/observium/rrd/ ar1406.live.brandwatch.net/ucd_ssCpuRawSoftIRQ.rrd:value:AVERAGE DEF:ssCpuRawKernel=/opt/observium/rrd/ ar1406.live.brandwatch.net/ucd_ssCpuRawKernel.rrd:value:AVERAGE DEF:ssCpuRawIdle=/opt/observium/rrd/ ar1406.live.brandwatch.net/ucd_ssCpuRawIdle.rrd:value:AVERAGE CDEF:total=ssCpuRawUser,UN,0,ssCpuRawUser,IF,ssCpuRawNice,UN,0,ssCpuRawNice,IF,ssCpuRawSystem,UN,0,ssCpuRawSystem,IF,ssCpuRawWait,UN,0,ssCpuRawWait,IF,ssCpuRawInterrupt,UN,0,ssCpuRawInterrupt,IF,ssCpuRawSoftIRQ,UN,0,ssCpuRawSoftIRQ,IF,ssCpuRawKernel,UN,0,ssCpuRawKernel,IF,ssCpuRawIdle,UN,0,ssCpuRawIdle,IF,+,+,+,+,+,+,+ CDEF:ssCpuRawUser_perc=ssCpuRawUser,total,/,100,* CDEF:ssCpuRawNice_perc=ssCpuRawNice,total,/,100,* CDEF:ssCpuRawSystem_perc=ssCpuRawSystem,total,/,100,* CDEF:ssCpuRawWait_perc=ssCpuRawWait,total,/,100,* CDEF:ssCpuRawInterrupt_perc=ssCpuRawInterrupt,total,/,100,* CDEF:ssCpuRawSoftIRQ_perc=ssCpuRawSoftIRQ,total,/,100,* CDEF:ssCpuRawKernel_perc=ssCpuRawKernel,total,/,100,* CDEF:ssCpuRawIdle_perc=ssCpuRawIdle,total,/,100,* HRULE:0#555555 AREA:ssCpuRawUser_perc#c02020:'User ' GPRINT:ssCpuRawUser_perc:LAST:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawUser_perc:MIN:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawUser_perc:MAX:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawUser_perc:AVERAGE:%5.1lf%%\n AREA:ssCpuRawNice_perc#008f00:'Nice ':STACK GPRINT:ssCpuRawNice_perc:LAST:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawNice_perc:MIN:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawNice_perc:MAX:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawNice_perc:AVERAGE:%5.1lf%%\n AREA:ssCpuRawSystem_perc#ea8f00:'System ':STACK GPRINT:ssCpuRawSystem_perc:LAST:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawSystem_perc:MIN:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawSystem_perc:MAX:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawSystem_perc:AVERAGE:%5.1lf%%\n AREA:ssCpuRawWait_perc#1f78b4:'Wait ':STACK GPRINT:ssCpuRawWait_perc:LAST:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawWait_perc:MIN:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawWait_perc:MAX:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawWait_perc:AVERAGE:%5.1lf%%\n AREA:ssCpuRawInterrupt_perc#a6cee3:'Interrupt ':STACK GPRINT:ssCpuRawInterrupt_perc:LAST:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawInterrupt_perc:MIN:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawInterrupt_perc:MAX:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawInterrupt_perc:AVERAGE:%5.1lf%%\n AREA:ssCpuRawSoftIRQ_perc#b2df8a:'SoftIRQ ':STACK GPRINT:ssCpuRawSoftIRQ_perc:LAST:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawSoftIRQ_perc:MIN:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawSoftIRQ_perc:MAX:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawSoftIRQ_perc:AVERAGE:%5.1lf%%\n AREA:ssCpuRawKernel_perc#fb9a99:'Kernel ':STACK GPRINT:ssCpuRawKernel_perc:LAST:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawKernel_perc:MIN:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawKernel_perc:MAX:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawKernel_perc:AVERAGE:%5.1lf%%\n AREA:ssCpuRawIdle_perc#f5f5e5:'Idle ':STACK GPRINT:ssCpuRawIdle_perc:LAST:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawIdle_perc:MIN:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawIdle_perc:MAX:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawIdle_perc:AVERAGE:%5.1lf%%\n 1233x339 Failing OpenBSD Example; Working Linux Example; Thank you very much for your time, and a great system.

Hello, I have installed ubuntu on virtual machine, configured bind and unix-agent successfully, in observium were able to see the application "bind" and all the graphs related to bind were displayed. After few days, I made a copy of vmware virtual machine (on which bind was running), added it to observium (with new IP), telnet to 36605 shows the output related to bind but observium showing that no application is running on the new virtual machine. so, 2 queries: 1) what am i missing? 2) How to debug step by step Regards Gaurav
