Setting Alerts
by Darian Jimenez 15 Aug '14

hello, I want to setup alerts inside of observium to notify us if any links go down basically. Nothing fancy but just link connectivity/ping tests maybe. Is the alerting feature only available on the paid version? Thanks, Darian

paid version not reporting any data
by Anthony Polselli 14 Aug '14

14 Aug '14

Got something very odd going on...after testing Observium, I purchased it and installed it onto a clean Ubuntu VM. Everything went fine, I added devices, cron job, etc and started to get some graphs. But yesterday and todays graphs are all blank. When I drill-down to a specific interface and click on real-time, I get these odd spikes where it shows 31Mbps In (which is high for this port). I did a side-by-side comparison to the test VM I setup with the free version of Observium and the real-time is working correctly there.

Observium constantly device down and up by ping
by Chris Pelling 14 Aug '14

14 Aug '14

Hi Guys, Our observium (latest) 0.14.8.5749 has for some time been showing devices up and down in the event log, graphs missing chucks of information as well. As an example, here is the memory usage on one ubnt box, but, its the same for others too (network / memory ) http://gyazo.com/18db347a5d49e557c082f343b8e96ea5 Here is the copy of the event log for the device : http://gyazo.com/4324c896e6cc268a8869d17c80964340 I can't seem to narrow it down. The machine is running Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS and as mentioned above, latest Observium. Any ideas where to poke ? Its not a single device, its multiple devices. The only thing so far I have not swapped out is the server observium sits on. -- Kind regards, Chris

CBQoS 'drop' vs 'policed-transmit'
by Robert Williams 14 Aug '14

14 Aug '14

Hi, Just noticed that the CBQoS stuff has gone active recently (which is very cool) - currently we get all this via (very) painful integration with Cacti. On looking closer I've found what I think is an issue, but stand ready to be corrected. What I think is happening is that Observium is considering packets the Cisco counted as "Exceeded" to have been "Dropped" where in reality they were just re-marked and transmitted normally. As an example, here is the graph for gi3/1 (class-default) on a 6500 chassis: Here is the output of the show policy-map int gi3/1: GigabitEthernet3/1 Service-policy input: <name> class-map: <Class A> (match-any) Match: protocol arp Match: access-group name <ACL A1> Match: access-group name <ACL A2> police : 32000 bps 102400 limit 102400 extended limit Earl in slot 3 : 1377162657 bytes 5 minute offered rate 2280 bps aggregate-forwarded 1377162657 bytes action: transmit exceeded 0 bytes action: drop <- Zero drops aggregate-forward 2520 bps exceed 0 bps class-map: class-default (match-any) Match: any police : 40000000 bps 3200000 limit 3200000 extended limit 1000000000 pir-bps Earl in slot 3 : 10562039041987 bytes 5 minute offered rate 11748848 bps aggregate-forwarded 10562039041987 bytes action: set-dscp-transmit exceeded 297846881624 bytes action: policed-dscp-transmit violated 0 bytes action: drop <- Zero drops aggregate-forward 13842064 bps exceed 0 bps violate 0 bps So in summary, there have never been any actual drops on the port, only re-marking of the DSCP (incrementing the exceeded counter) and then a transmit. Since the re-marking occurs in the "exceeded" counter, I think Observium is considering them as dropped, instead of just exceeded. This also messes up the pre-policy and post-policy counters, because it implies that traffic didn't make it through when in reality it all did. We use re-marking extensively and so all of the CBQoS graphs show incorrect drop and post-policy information. Either that or we've got a bug/misconfiguration (or I just don't get it), so maybe someone else can confirm? Let me know what debug info is needed if it helps :) Cheers!

Possible bug in BGP Prefixes graphs?
by Erwin Heringa 14 Aug '14

14 Aug '14

Hi Observium team, Earlier this week the global route table hit 512k prefixes, so I was looking in Observium how many prefixes each peer announces. But there is something wrong that I can't explain and it could be a bug. This morning I upgraded to the latest (paid) version r5747, that didn't change this. For peer 195.69.144.192 my Juniper router shows 89 received prefixes: rtr1> show bgp neighbor 195.69.144.192 | match prefixes Active prefixes: 47 Received prefixes: 89 Accepted prefixes: 89 Advertised prefixes: 7 Via snmp on the router: This peer has index 155, and Peer with index 155 has 89 prefixes: rtr1> show snmp mib wal decimal 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.1.1 | match 144.192 | match PeerIndex jnxBgpM2PeerIndex.0.1.195.69.144.49.1.195.69.144.192 = 155 rtr1> show snmp mib wal decimal 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2 | match \.155\. | match Prefixes jnxBgpM2PrefixInPrefixes.155.1.1 = 89 jnxBgpM2PrefixInPrefixesAccepted.155.1.1 = 89 jnxBgpM2PrefixInPrefixesRejected.155.1.1 = 42 jnxBgpM2PrefixOutPrefixes.155.1.1 = 7 Via snmp on the Observium server: snmpwalk -v3 -l authPriv -u ***** -a SHA -A ****** -x AES -X ******* rtr1 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2 | grep \.155\. iso.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2.1.7.155.1.1 = Gauge32: 89 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2.1.8.155.1.1 = Gauge32: 89 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2.1.9.155.1.1 = Gauge32: 42 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2.1.10.155.1.1 = Gauge32: 7 But the graphs looks like this, with only 8 prefixes: [cid:image001.png@01CFB7A9.99364360] And even worse for our transit provider: rtr1> show bgp neighbor 195.69.144.34 | match prefixes Active prefixes: 158327 Received prefixes: 505071 Accepted prefixes: 505070 Advertised prefixes: 7 snmpwalk -v3 -l authPriv -u ***** -a SHA -A ***** -x AES -X ****** rtr1 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2.1 | grep '\.4\.1\.1' iso.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2.1.7.4.1.1 = Gauge32: 505068 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2.1.8.4.1.1 = Gauge32: 505066 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2.1.9.4.1.1 = Gauge32: 346727 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2636.5.1.1.2.6.2.1.10.4.1.1 = Gauge32: 7 [cid:image002.png@01CFB7AC.69D3A650] This behavior seems to have changed around March 1st. Any thoughts?

Hi All, I have just set up observium now and successfulli integrated it with syslog-ng but i am not seeing anything in the message column. I have tried the patch from her: http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBSERVIUM-850?jql=text%20~%20%22msg%22 but it did not work. If i go to mysql and check the msg field in the syslog table it is just empy (or just has %). All my devices are cisco devices running IOS. Any ideas? Regards Vilberg

process list WMI
by Simon Smith 13 Aug '14

13 Aug '14

Hi all, just a quick question is the currently a WMI module that checks out for number of running Processes for a windows machine? or even a table I can look at to see the currently running processes on observium? I’ve seen your able to get ahold of the processes via WMI just not sure if the is one already integrated? if the isn’t, can anyone point me in the direction as to create the module ? regards Simon
