How to use removespikes.php?
by Alex Pressé 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

If I try to use removespokes.php, I always get the error FATAL: File '' does not exist. root@CORPLNMS01:/opt/observium/rrd/phlinfrtr01# ../../scripts/removespikes.php -R port-10.rrd FATAL: File '' does not exist. The same named perl script runs but doesn't remove 1gbit spikes on 2mbit links... -- Alex Presse "How much net work could a network work if a network could net work?"

Aggregate Graphing?
by Luis Quintana 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

I was looking at the graphing off of the main page, where you select All Devices, then Bits, and had a quick question about this. I assume this is an aggregate of all interfaces being displayed. What I am curious to know is if the graphs show interfaces that are "technically" duplicates? For example, a straight interface on a juniper device can be ge-1/0/0, but because there is a unit attached to the interface, sort of like a sub-interface, ge-1/0/0.0 shows up as well. The problem here is, its the same statistics for both of the interfaces, in this example. So, if the aggregate graph is looking at all interfaces and includes both in the aggregate graph, well than the aggregate is not correct? Not sure if I explained it correctly, and if not, please let me know. What i am getting at is, it seems as though there is duplicate information being aggregated so the graphs is not accurate, from what it looks like. Thoughts?

Cisco ASA per VPN-tunnel traffic

Hi Could use Cisco ASA per VPN tunnel traffic stats. I think its available thru SNMP ? So my Observium does not show them, so its not currently collecting info per vpn-tunnel ? Regards, Pekka Panula

Problems after sync to 4532
by Andrew Hunstiger 26 Sep '13

26 Sep '13

Sorry if this is the wrong channel to send this to. Not sure what happened, but after syncing to the latest version the web portal seems to be broken. Checking the logs the poller is still working, I just can't access the web page any more. Checking the error logs the only two events that keep popping up when I try to load the page are: [Wed Sep 25 09:29:53 2013] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_SL in /opt/observium/html/index.php on line 212 [Wed Sep 25 09:52:04 2013] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_SL in /opt/observium/html/index.php on line 215 Line 212 points to the start of what I pasted in below. The only part that stood out to me (I honestly have no idea what I am doing, just trying to troubleshoot) is what I highlighted below: { // Warn about lack of mcrypt unless told not to. <<<<<<< .mine <<<<<<< .mine <<<<<<< .mine if($config['login_remember_me'] = FALSE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) ======= if($config['login_remember_me'] == TRUE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) ======= if($config['login_remember_me'] = TRUE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) ======= if($config['login_remember_me'] == TRUE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) >>>>>>> .r4532 >>>>>>> .r4471 >>>>>>> .r4532 { print_error('Observium now requires mcrypt to be installed for use by the "remember me" function.

Print a page. if (isset($vars['page']) && !strstr("..", $vars['page']) && is_file("pages/" . $vars['page'] . ".inc.php")) { include("pages/" . $vars['page'] . ".inc.php"); } else { if (isset($config['front_page']) && is_file($config['front_page'])) { include($config['front_page']); } else { include("pages/front/default.php"); } } } } Once I commented those lines out, the page was able to load without any problems. // <<<<<<< .mine // <<<<<<< .mine // <<<<<<< .mine if($config['login_remember_me'] = FALSE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) // ======= if($config['login_remember_me'] == TRUE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) // ======= if($config['login_remember_me'] = TRUE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) // ======= if($config['login_remember_me'] == TRUE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) // >>>>>>> .r4532 // >>>>>>> .r4471 // >>>>>>> .r4532 Also, once I did the sync, there was an error (wish I wrote it down first) when running the "./discovery.php -h none" command.

Re: [Observium] notify
by Rob VanHooren 26 Sep '13

26 Sep '13

on that note, when considering thresholds in the alert system, one desirable feature may be to trigger on 'zero' as well as some upper bound. i.e., my demarc might be just fine, but if somebody stops sending me traffic on a provisioned link, release the hounds! (because they'll blame my link anyway) R.

Re: [Observium] Interface description, auto-add to billing?
by Adam Armstrong 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

Oh man. This is an ancient historical feature from like 2009 that I think broke in 2009 :) The enabling/disabling option is still in the config. But it won't work. Adam Luis Quintana <sla07(a)earthlink.net> wrote: >I could have sworn I had seen something where I can enable an auto-add feature in order for ports to be automatically added, into the billing piece, with a particular pattern in the port description. Is this something that is available or will be available? i cant seem to find it again for some reason and I remember even seeing the pattern that was given, which would need to change in my particular instance. Any ideas on this one? >_______________________________________________ >observium mailing list >observium(a)observium.org >http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium
