Draw Error - php/rrd?
by Clark Smith 03 Jun '15

Hi, I am experiencing the "red" draw errors for all of my devices/nodes/entries. It would seem that apache/php is not parsing the rrd command correctly? The RRDs are being populated with the polling scripts: - No errors when poller.php is run (poller.php -h 5 -d | grep ERROR) - Real, recent data inside the rrd (rrdtool info <rrd file>) The RRDs are erroring on the php page, for example: - Performance and Output RRDTool Output: ERROR: Unused Arguments "" in command : AREA:usage_cdef0#FFC344:Intel Core i3-4010U @ 1.70GHz : Total time: 0.013 | RRDtool time: 0.012s - RRDTool Command rrdtool graph /tmp/rVDiXfJ3oeTNxmbX.png -g --lower-limit 0 --upper-limit 100 --start 1433201153 --end 1433287553 --width 1159 --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:'DejaVuSansMono' --font AXIS:7:'DejaVuSansMono' --font-render-mode normal -E COMMENT:'Load % Now Min Max Avg' COMMENT:'\l' DEF:usage0=/opt/observium/rrd/node.domain.com/processor-hr-196608.rrd:usage… DEF:usage0min=/opt/observium/rrd/node.domain.com/processor-hr-196608.rrd:us… DEF:usage0max=/opt/observium/rrd/node.domain.com/processor-hr-196608.rrd:us… CDEF:usage_cdef0=usage0,1,/ CDEF:usage_cdef0min=usage0min,1,/ CDEF:usage_cdef0max=usage0max,1,/ AREA:usage_cdef0#FFC344:'Intel Core i3-4010U @ 1.70GHz ': GPRINT:usage0:LAST:%5.1lf%s GPRINT:usage0min:MIN:%5.1lf%s GPRINT:usage0max:MAX:%5.1lf%s GPRINT:usage0:AVERAGE:%5.1lf%s'\n' COMMENT:'\n' HRULE:0#555555 RRD processes leftover in running memory: http 4205 0.0 0.0 0 0 ?

Hi Phillip, Thanks for the information, and I'll keep a copy of this mail for your offer. I'll get in touch with my purchasing department and see what they can offer, not holding my breath!. Thanks Andy From: observium [mailto:observium-bounces@observium.org] On Behalf Of Phillip Baker Sent: 02 June 2015 17:12 To: Observium Network Observation System Subject: Re: [Observium] Contact for subscription and another question Hi Andy, The trust we most recently used to supply services to had a purchasing card; if your trust really doesn't have one I don't *think* observium can be acquired on purchase order. I can resell your trust a licence on purchase order basis I suppose, but there would be a small markup involved for the processing & 42-60 days credit your purchasing department will invariably want. It might be worth pointing out this route will cost more - that seemed to be the requisite incantation for purchasing to fess up to having a card last time I did this dance.

Hi Arthur, That's really useful - thanks. I'll give it a try. From: observium [mailto:observium-bounces@observium.org] On Behalf Of Arthur Bommele (DataByte) Sent: 01 June 2015 17:30 To: Observium Network Observation System Subject: Re: [Observium] Contact for subscription and another question Hi, WMI stuff works for Exchange (2010). But you need to compile your own wmic on your Observium server and copy it to /usr/bin. Example: http://techedemic.com/2014/09/17/installing-wmic-in-ubuntu-14-04-lts-64- bit/ Set some config parameters in /opt/observium/config.php. $config['wmic'] = "/usr/bin/wmic"; $config['wmi']['domain'] = "DOMAIN"; $config['wmi']['user'] = "USER"; $config['wmi']['pass'] = "PASSWORD"; Edit the exchange_trans_smtp.inc.php script perhaps. See: http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBSERVIUM-1259 Manually enable the wmi module under device settings under the tab modules in Observium, and under the wmi tab enable Exchange. As well as make the WMI user account (same one as specified in config.php) available on the Exchange server. See: http://observium.org:8080/browse/OBSERVIUM-518 (and the attachment PDF there) Do notice the warning there: use at own risk!

I've been off the list for a bit. - I want to purchase a sub for Observium, but being public sector we have some weird ways of paying for things. Who should the purchasing department contact? - Does the WMI stuff work for exchange? I send a mail about it a while back, and it certainly would be useful to us, or at least pointers to how the wmi framework function would be good so I can do some scripting myself. Any ideas if the wmi scripts work for 2010 exchange - I've only seen anything done via powershell there.. Thanks Andy

IP SLA
by Jeffrey d'Ambly 31 May '15

31 May '15

Hello, I am using the observium professional edition and I’ve been looking into configuring IP SLA on all my cisco devices to monitor our WAN. I have the following config on two devices to just test the waters Destination device config ip sla responder source device config ip sla 1 udp-jitter 10.34.36.2 16384 source-ip 10.34.36.1 frequency 300 ip sla schedule 1 start-time now My question is what does the community do as a best practice for IP SAL configurations. As I have it configure now it’s send 10 packets every 5 minutes. This seems like a bad idea because what if there was a network blip between the 5 minute run time? If there was packet loss I would like observium to detect it, and send out an alert. Do I need to configure the ip sla service to constantly run? And if so how do I make sure all that data is there when observium polls it next. —Jeff
