SysUptime issue
by Mike Richardson 09 Mar '13

09 Mar '13

Hiya, We've noticed that Observium is reporting that devices have rebooted even though they haven't. It's happening at the 496 day mark and so we're assuming that this is related to the 32bit SysUptime counter limitation. I noticed though that there is a section of code which says: // Use snmpEngineTime (68 year rollover) to cross-reference for false // positives in device rebooting due to sysUpTime rollover issues so I presume this ought not be happening. I can appreciate that this is a difficult one to test. Or rather, it's easy to test but has a *really* long debug cycle :-) We're currently running 0.13.2.3559. Here's the output from a device which observium recently reported as having rebooted: SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB::snmpEngineTime.0 = INTEGER: 43016530 DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (6689166) 18:34:51.66 If you want any more information just ask. Given the number of devices we have with uptimes around 496 days we can probably do a test every few days.

Poller debugging
by Jason Lixfeld 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

Hi, I've checked around for some docs on this subject but I'm coming up empty. Not sure if I'm looking in the wrong spot or if they just don't exist. I'm noticing the odd gap in all graphs for a particular device, and only that device. The two gaps in the last 24 hours seem to have lasted about 15 and 30 minutes, respectively. This is the first time I've seen these gaps on this device, but I did upgrade the code on this box last week. I'm convinced it's a software issue on the router I'm polling, but I need some ammo for the vendor. To that end, I'd like to enable some debugging that will show what the poller is reporting (or not reporting) when it hits this device. My hope is to catch something useful in the debugs that I can bring to the vendor. Any hits appreciated. Thanks!

Platform change on existing device
by Florian Hibler 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

Hi everyone, we just replaced one of our core routers and therefore changed platform from Cisco to Juniper. Whilst the interfaces got discovered correctly, Observium does not detect the change of the device/platform itself. Also the full discovery, which runs every few hours did not notice. Is there a way to rediscover a device without deleting it or will there be any feature like "platform change detected" during the full discover in future? Thanks and best regards, Florian -- Florian Hibler Chief Technical Officer eMail: florian.hibler(a)kaiaglobal.com Kaia Global Networks Limited Internet: http://www.kaiaglobal.com Company No. 08257877 Registered Office: High Wycombe, UK Notice: This transmittal and/or attachments may be privileged or confidential.

It depends how big your installation is :-) Like all things, you need to scale your own installation. We now do more caching instead of repeated lookups, requiring more ram on large installs. Adam.

The Netflow collection i get, but is there any way to integrate the collection results with Observium?

Juniper BGP Prefix Graphing Issue
by Joe Wooller 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

Hey Guys, I have just started using Observium, so far I think it's great! (Good work) I have however stumbled across an issue with BGP Prefixes on my Juniper J2320. When I do a debug on discovery.php and poller.php (after adding the host) it appears that it is extracting the correct information for jnxBgpM2PrefixInPrefixesAccepted and jnxBgpM2PrefixInPrefixesRejected for both IPv4 and IPv6, however it only seems to graph the prefixes from only 1 of my peers (they have 2 ipv4 and 1 ipv6 session with me) so I am seeing graphs for these 3, but not any others. In the debug information I am also only seeing an update for the graphs that are working. (Obviously) SQL[UPDATE `bgpPeers_cbgp` set `AcceptedPrefixes` ='58',`DeniedPrefixes` ='0',`PrefixAdminLimit` ='',`PrefixThreshold` ='',`PrefixClearThreshold` ='',`AdvertisedPrefixes` ='3103',`SuppressedPrefixes` ='',`WithdrawnPrefixes` ='' WHERE `device_id` = '7' AND bgpPeerIdentifier = 'x.x.x.x' AND afi = 'ipv4' AND safi = 'unicast'] RRD[/usr/bin/rrdtool create /opt/observium/rrd/rs1/cbgp-x.x.x.x.ipv4.unicast.rrd DS:AcceptedPrefixes:GAUGE:600:U:100000000000 \ DS:DeniedPrefixes:GAUGE:600:U:100000000000 \ DS:AdvertisedPrefixes:GAUGE:600:U:100000000000 \ DS:SuppressedPrefixes:GAUGE:600:U:100000000000 \ DS:WithdrawnPrefixes:GAUGE:600:U:100000000000 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:2016 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:6:1440 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:1440 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:1440 RRA:MIN:0.5:1:720 RRA:MIN:0.5:6:1440 RRA:MIN:0.5:24:775 RRA:MIN:0.5:288:797 RRA:MAX:0.5:1:720 RRA:MAX:0.5:6:1440 RRA:MAX:0.5:24:775 RRA:MAX:0.5:288:797 RRA:LAST:0.5:1:1440 ] OK u:0.00 s:0.01 r:14.58 RRD[update /opt/observium/rrd/rs1/cbgp-x.x.x.x.ipv4.unicast.rrd N:58:0:3103::] I see this for all 3 sessions the peer has, but for none of the others.

Hi all, I don't know whether Observium support IE or not, but when I run it in IE I got permission denied as shown below: All the menus are functioning normally. I already dig the log file but nothing related to this message. Can I assume this message safely to ignore? Rgds, -dewo-

Traffic bills
by Mattias Gyllenvarg 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

Hi Adam About the traffic Bills. After a month is billing period is completed will the data be preserved even if interfaces are added/removed from the billing? The reason I ask is that it is a hassle too keep track of aggregated usage of things like Peering/Infrastructure/Transit as you constantly upgrade and move things around. So, perhaps a snapshot could be taken at certain points too keep this data? Pipedream? -- *Med Vänliga Hälsningar - Best Regards* *Mattias Gyllenvarg* *Nätutveckling* Bredband2 Tel: +46 406219712

These are warnings you can ignore them. They should be disabled in the php config. Ciro Iriarte <cyruspy(a)gmail.com> wrote: >_______________________________________________ >observium mailing list >observium(a)observium.org >http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium
