hi, all. as at today's r4116… who can say whether EIGRP is in a workable state? have an example c3845 (advsecurity-15.1(4)M5, iirc) don't seem to get much (debugs below) … nothing shows up under routing tab. is a bug? or is eigrp coverage a work-in-progress? thoughts? thanks, R. === ! appears that there are bits for it… ! # grep -R eigrp * includes/functions.inc.php: case "eigrp": includes/.svn/text-base/functions.inc.php.svn-base: case "eigrp": pages/device.inc.php: $device_routing_count['eigrp'] = dbFetchCell("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `eigrp_ports` WHERE `device_id` = ?", array($device['device_id'])); pages/device.inc.php: if ($device_routing_count['eigrp']) { $routing_tabs[] = 'eigrp'; } pages/device/routing/eigrp.inc.php: $navbar['options'][$type]['url'] = generate_url(array('page' => 'device', 'device' => $device['device_id'], 'tab' => 'routing', 'proto' => 'eigrp', 'view' => $type )); pages/device/routing/eigrp.inc.php: include("eigrp_ports.inc.php"); pages/device/routing/.svn/all-wcprops:eigrp.inc.php pages/device/routing/.svn/all-wcprops:/svn/!svn/ver/3884/observer/trunk/html/pages/device/routing/eigrp.inc.php pages/device/routing/.svn/entries:eigrp.inc.php pages/device/routing/.svn/text-base/eigrp.inc.php.svn-base: $navbar['options'][$type]['url'] = generate_url(array('page' => 'device', 'device' => $device['device_id'], 'tab' => 'routing', 'proto' => 'eigrp', 'view' => $type )); pages/device/routing/.svn/text-base/eigrp.inc.php.svn-base: include("eigrp_ports.inc.php"); pages/.svn/text-base/device.inc.php.svn-base: $device_routing_count['eigrp'] = dbFetchCell("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `eigrp_ports` WHERE `device_id` = ?", array($device['device_id'])); pages/.svn/text-base/device.inc.php.svn-base: if ($device_routing_count['eigrp']) { $routing_tabs[] = 'eigrp'; } includes/functions.inc.php: return "EIGRP"; includes/.svn/text-base/functions.inc.php.svn-base: return "EIGRP"; pages/device/routing/eigrp.inc.php:$navbar['brand'] = "EIGRP"; pages/device/routing/.svn/text-base/eigrp.inc.php.svn-base:$navbar['brand'] = "EIGRP"; # grep eigrp config.php $config['enable_eigrp'] = 1; // Enable EIGRP session collection and display THEROUTER#sho ip eigrp neigh EIGRP-IPv4 Neighbors for AS(2) H Address Interface Hold Uptime SRTT RTO Q Seq 4 192.168.1.1 Tu15 11 00:08:22 292 1752 0 55125 3 192.168.2.2 Tu93 10 4d02h 20 200 0 8264 2 192.168.3.3 Tu92 12 4d02h 45 270 0 18728 1 192.168.4.4 Tu16 12 4d02h 24 200 0 37045 0 192.168.5.5 Tu106 13 4d02h 20 200 0 554693´ # ./addhost.php THEROUTER mySNMPv2comm Trying community mySNMPv2comm ...

LDAP authentication changes
by Tom Laermans 04 Jun '13

04 Jun '13

Hi everyone, I've made some modifications to the LDAP auth module; if you SVN up to r4114 or higher, please check if your LDAP auth is still working if you are using it. As far as I know (and on my test system), all defaults are sensible and should work just as before without changing anything, however some new features appeared, specifically to support active directory. An example config for AD is on the wiki. Nested groups don't work yet, I will hopefully get around to that soon. Thanks, Tom

Hi all, I would like to hide some unused ports on some device. I see the filters configuration "$config['bad_if'] = array" but if I correctly understand this filter is apply to all devices. Is there a way to do different filter for different device ? BR Pedro

ASR9k users?
by Robert Williams 03 Jun '13

03 Jun '13

Hi, Just curious if anyone is currently using Observium to monitor any Cisco ASR9k based devices? I can see that it has correctly identified all the various hardware modules, line cards and temperature sensors etc. but isn’t graphing things like temperatures or light levels like it does for our Cat6K workforce. Since this is the first ASR device I’ve tried polling on Observium I’m not sure if it’s just not fully supported or if we have some SNMP restrictions on the Cisco which are preventing it from getting what it needs. Any feedback or other experiences are welcome! Cheers all, Robert Williams Custodian Data Centre Email: Robert(a)CustodianDC.com http://www.CustodianDC.com

Memcached updates
by Britt Treece 03 Jun '13

03 Jun '13

Starting to use Memcached and found some of the current Memcached bits in Observium not working optimally. I wrote a new unix-agent script using python rather than PHP. The previous script relied on PECL memcached but didn't do anything for installations using PECL memcache. After a bunch of trial and error I determined that it was easiest to write the script in Python which requires the python-memcached library and is readily available on different OS types and versions. I also modified the applications/memcached.inc.php and polling/unix-agent.inc.php to accommodate the new script. They will also accurately separate different instances of memcached running on the same server as reported by the script. I'm still trying to work out a couple things. The main thing is when you enable Memcached as an application for a device Observium automatically creates an entry in the database but the instance is NULL. When the unix-agent reports on the Memcached instance(s) running on the server new entries get created in the database for each instance and the app with the NULL app_instance never gets used. I've been manually removing it from the database. If possible I would like to work it out so that it doesn't get created automatically. If that's not possible I was going to look into updating that entry with the first real instance reported by the agent. Also wanting to get the Apps tab for the Device to better identify each instance and maybe work on some additional metrics reporting for Memcached specific stats. Patch attached, let me know if it is acceptable or not... Britt Treece

Observium is designed for use in a service provider environment with a main design assumption being that one does not necessarily know what one wants to monitor until the data is needed. We purposefully make it difficult to delete or obscure port information, because that fits our requirements. Adam. Jason Lixfeld <jason(a)lixfeld.ca> wrote: >Why do you say that, Adam?

Switching back to old location behavior
by Bryan Socha 01 Jun '13

I just updated and locations are all over the place. Is there a way to set it back to the old behavior where it groups by the snmp-location setup in each device? Thanks, Bryan Socha

Cisco 4500X VSS, no cpu values

Hello, We added some Cisco 4500X switches to our network with a VSS setup and observium shows 0 for the cpu usage. Any ideas on how to get it to populate? Bryan Socha

Polling
by Wes Kennedy 01 Jun '13

01 Jun '13

I recently added in 25 new routers to be monitored and as of two hours later, they haven't been polled. They have all been Discovered properly, but not polled. All of my existing hosts are polling just fine. Has anyone seen this? -Wes
