Discovery crashing UPS management card
by Steve Kersley 16 Jul '14

16 Jul '14

Good morning all, I'm a recent adopter of Observium so still finding my feet and slowly learning how best to set it up. However, I have noticed that since installing it, it was reporting that my main UPS management card was rebooting every 6 hours. The UPS is an Eaton 9SX 5000i + battery pack, with Network-MS management card, firmware HF which is the latest available for card tech level 16. Dabbling more, it seems that it's the discovery process that is causing it, specifically when it walks the xupsOutput table (.1.3.6.1.4.1.534.1.4) in the Powerware MIB, the UPS management card immediately stops responding and reboots. It actually appears to be crashing on doing a GetNext on .1.3.6.1.4.1.534.1.4.7.0, which is beyond the defined values in that table. The UPS continues to operate, but the management card stops. This also means that Observium has only managed to discover the 'input' voltage - output, bypass and current/power readings all just read as zero as the card has stopped responding when it tries to read those. The poll runs fine and gets data from the input voltage sensor. Clearly this is not an Observium issue: I can reproduce the reboot with a simple snmpwalk on the commandline, which should be a valid operation on a published MIB. I do have a ticket open with the manufacturer, although the first response was 'does it work with our management software?'. It may even be a fault on my unit, but I don't have more than one of these to test. I'm assuming there's a reason for the discovery module to need to walk the tables rather than just read the specific values - presumably bigger UPS units might have multiple metered AC inputs and outputs rather than just the one? I could disable sensor discovery, which will stop the reboots but that won't let it learn about the additional sensors that it still hasn't found. Unless I can manually insert data into the database for the poller to pick up? Alternatively, is there a way for me to override the detection of a Powerware UPS and use the generic UPS MIB rather than the XUPS MIB? Any other thoughts? Steve.

Ubuntu 12.04? Does r5229 work on Ubuntu 14.04?
by Rob Townley 15 Jul '14

15 Jul '14

Loving observium, but noticed some issues with it detecting well over 448 ports on a switch that nothing was plugged into except two patch cables but then i just happened to notice php version on Ubuntu 12.04. The Ubuntu installation directions had some conflicting information: Requires php5.4 but Ubuntu 12.04 does not includes php5.3 only. Recommend LTS, but recommend 13.04 which is not LTS. Does not mention 14.04 LTS. The existing community download is from April which provides another reason that Ubuntu 14.04 LTS will not work well since there has not been another release since then. So i am trying to decide to add a PPA for php5.4 or do i upgrade the entire OS to 14.04? Will the April 2014 (SVN# 5229 ) Observium release work just fine on 14.04.

Large number of ports on switch? Juniper VC/VCF EX/QFX
by Paul Meys 15 Jul '14

15 Jul '14

Hi, I'm running into a problem when trying to view a junipersetup. It is a virtual chassis fabric with 2x QFX51 and 2x EX43 When you open the device, in the list of ports, the last ones don't appear: 2/0/14, ge-2/0/15, ge-2/0/16, ge-2/0/17, ge-2/0/18, ge-2/0/19, ge-2/0/20, ge-2/0/21, ge-2/0/22, ge-2/0/23, ge-2/0/24, ge-2/0/25, ge-2/0/26, ge-2/0/27, ge-2/0/28, ge-2/0/29, ge-2/0/30, ge-2/0/31, ge-2/0/32, ge-2/0/33, ge-2/0/34, ge-2/0/35, ge-2/0/36, ge-2/0/37, ge-2/0/38, ge-2/0/39, ge-2/0/40, ge-2/0/41, ge-2/0/42, ge-2/0/43, ge-2/0/44, ge-2/0/45, ge-2/0/46, ge-2/0/47, ge-2/0/0.0, xe-0/0/0, xe-0/0/2, xe-0/0/0.0, xe-0/0/2.0, xe-0/0/1, xe-0/0/1.0, xe-0/0/3, xe-0/0/3.0, xe-1/0/0, xe-1/0/0.0, xe-1/0/1, xe-1/0/1.0, xe-1/0/2, xe-1/0/2.0, xe-1/0/3, xe-1/0/3.0, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , When I click on "Ports": I have a lot of "empty" rows at the end.

I also have a (Juniper) switch with almost 600 ports with almost the same problem. ( 10x EX4200 ) Is there a port-limit ?

high CPU / slow response
by Paul Meys 15 Jul '14

15 Jul '14

Hi, I'm running the latest version, but it is extremely slow. Even to load the login-page, it takes a very long time. I always see mysqld using almost all CPU-power. the server is running in vmware, os = debian. Currently I have one v-core assigned with 16G of ram. ( already tried with 4 cores.. ) In Observium I have 75 devices with a total of 7500 ports. Please advice ;-) Thank you, Have a good day, Paul

Hi, I am having to move my Observium installation to a new server. I have the paid version of Observium, and am basically taking an older version and want to use my existing license. What is the proper path to make this move? Thanks, Ryan

Hello, I'm interested on using Observium Pro to monitoring a large network of 15,000 devices more or less. Does anyone know if observium works fine in a large network? Thanks in advance for your replies.
