Disable CDP neighbour discovery?
by Ulrik Ivers 30 Nov '15

30 Nov '15

Hi, Is it possible to disable neighbour discovery via CDP but still leave it enabled for LLDP? The reason for asking is that we are a 100% LLDP shop, but some equipment run both CDP and LLDP. When looking at the tab "Neighbours" of such a device the neighbours are listed twice, one with protocol LLDP and one with protocol CDP. We would like to only do neighbour discovery via LLDP, if possible. I've looked through the options files and the documentation but haven't been able to find a setting to disable CDP. Regards, /Ulrik Ivers

Location menu - hierarchical without GeoLocation?
by Ulrik Ivers 30 Nov '15

30 Nov '15

Hi again, Corrected some typos to make the explanation a bit more understandable ... /Ulrik Hi, Trying to figure out whether it's possible to have the Location menu on the front page being hierarchical with GeoLocation DISABLED. Is this possible? Running version 7203. Our snmp location strings in our devices are on the format of: City, Building, Floor We'd like to have the Location menu on the frontpage being displayed hierarchical something like this: Location City A [3] Building A [3] Floor X [2] Floor Y [1] At the moment the menu looks like this with THREE devices of which TWO have the same location string Location City A, Building A, Floor X City A, Building A, Floor Y Any suggestions would be welcome. Regards, /Ulrik Ivers

App monitoring - What am I missing??
by Scott A. Davis 27 Nov '15

27 Nov '15

Hello - Trying to set up the apache monitor on the same server where Observium is running (I figured that would be easiest). I can't seem to figure out what I am missing. Sorry for being verbose ... Just need to make sure I am covering all my bases. Any suggestions are appreciated. Version Information *Observium CE* 0.15.6.6430 *OS* Linux 2.6.32-573.8.1.el6.x86_64 [amd64] (CentOS 6.7) *Apache* 2.2.15 *PHP* 5.4.44 *Python* Python 2.6.6 *MySQL* 5.5.45 *SNMP* NET-SNMP 5.5 *RRDtool* 1.3.8 * Copied /opt/observium/scripts/observium_agent_xinetd -> /etc/xinetd.d/ [root@zen xinet.d]# ls -la observium_agent_xinetd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 650 Nov 26 18:33 observium_agent_xinetd * Copied /opt/observium/scripts/observium_agent -> /usr/bin [root@zen bin]# ls -la observium_agent -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12K Nov 26 18:31 observium_agent* * Made directories: mkdir /usr/lib/observium_agent /usr/lib/observium_agent/local * Copied /opt/observium/scripts/agent-local/apache -> /usr/lib/observium_agent/local [root@zen local]# ls -la total 64K drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Nov 26 17:46 ./ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K Nov 26 17:43 ../ -rwxrw-rw- 1 1000 1000 2.9K Nov 26 18:31 apache* -rwxrw-rw- 1 1000 1000 51K Nov 26 19:12 mysql* * Edited /etc/xinetd.d/observium_agent_xinetd only_from = 127.0.0.01 ::1 (Also added my reap IPv4 address to that line for good posterity) * Made sure I had port 33602 open on the firewall (and even disabled firewall at times) service xinetd restart [root@zen conf]# service xinetd restart Stopping xinetd: [ OK ] Starting xinetd: [ OK ] * _httpd.conf says:_ ExtendedStatus On <Location /server-status> SetHandler server-status Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.1 Allow from ::1 Allow from <my real IPv4 address> Allow from <my home address> </Location> I can access that just fine. * Ensured the agent port setting in Device Settings->Agent was correct * Ensured the unix-agent module was enabled in Settings->Modules What am I missing? Help. Thank you!!

GeoLocation not correct
by Scott A. Davis 27 Nov '15

27 Nov '15

Hi - Not sure if this is an Observium issue or not, but in all the time I've used the community version, I've never had this problem. My screen shot is here: http://imgur.com/D9waqhG I have 3 servers. Two in TX, which show up accurately, and one in Atlanta, which shows up in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. Observium shows its location as "Unknown" my snmpd.conf is as follows (with XXXXX marking non-relevant info) syslocation Atlanta, Georgia rocommunity XXXXXX sysname tsundoku.XXXXXXX.XXX syscontact scott.a.davis(a)gmail.com I have other servers with similar snmpd.conf on that map showing up fine. For syslocation, I have also tried Atlanta, Atlanta, GA, etc ... Nothing changes. Any reason why this would happen? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Custom OIDs are fantastic
by Tim Vaughan 27 Nov '15

27 Nov '15

Just wanted to say thankyou for adding support for Custom OIDs. Using a combination of this article http://www.maartenmoerman.nl/?p=649 and this one http://awesomeadmin.blogspot.co.uk/2009/11/monitoring-cisco-wireless-contro… I was able to add graphs to track how many clients are on each of our individual access points. So far I think it's working, even if it is a pain to calculate which AP MAC address translates to which OID....
