Logstash and Observium
by Tobias Brunner 31 Dec '12

31 Dec '12

Hi everyone, We are using Logstash to collect Syslog messages from our network gear. Here is a way to send the collected messages to Observium: * Define a IOS filter in Logstash filter { ### IOS Grok grok { type => "syslog" pattern => [ "<%{POSINT:syslog_pri}>%{SYSLOGTIMESTAMP:syslog_timestamp} %{SYSLOGHOST:syslog_hostname} %{DATA:cisco_dummyvalue}: %{DATA:cisco_timestamp}: \%%{DATA:cisco_eventcode}: %{GREEDYDATA:syslog_message}" ] add_field => [ "received_at", "%{@timestamp}" ] add_field => [ "received_from", "%{@source_host}" ] } } * Add the following output to logstash: output { pipe { command => "/usr/bin/php /opt/observium/syslog.php" message_format => "%{@source_host}||%{syslog_facility}||%{syslog_severity_code}||%{syslog_severity}||00||%{@timestamp}||%{cisco_dummyvalue}: &{cisco_timestamp}: %%{cisco_eventcode}: %{@message}||cisco" } } As I did not find a way to convert the @timestamp field of Logstash to the needed format, there is one additional line in syslog.php needed: --- syslog.php.orig 2012-12-21 11:28:41.741696532 +0100 +++ syslog.php 2012-12-29 11:58:59.790246786 +0100 @@ -28,6 +28,8 @@ { #logfile($line); list($entry['host'],$entry['facility'],$entry['priority'], $entry['level'], $entry['tag'], $entry['timestamp'], $entry['msg'], $entry['program']) = explode("||", trim($line)); + ## reformat timestamp + $entry['timestamp'] = date("Y-m-d H:i:s",strtotime($entry['timestamp'])); process_syslog($entry, 1); unset($entry); unset($line); $i++; And I was also not able to find a value for the fields "TAG" and "PROGRAM" for the message_format. So I hardcoded them as "OO" and "cisco". This works for me.

Tom, Thanks for the reply. I did get more into the UPS's and they all show "Load Power % of Watts" Only the RT shows Load Current and also all show runtime remaining.

No Devices Shown in New Installation
by Mark Kamichoff 24 Dec '12

24 Dec '12

Hi - Warning: Here's another one of the "I installed it but it doesn't work!" e-mails. I recently setup Observium (SVN from Dec 23, 2012) on a Debian testing/unstable x86_64-based host. I followed all of the instructions with the exception of the installation of libvirt packages (I don't appear to have a need for it) and although I appear to have successfully added devices, none of them show up in the web UI. The three devices I've added are the following: o Juniper SRX100 o FreeBSD x86_64 Host o Linux x86_64 Host According to observium.log the cron jobs are running fine and the devices are being polled: (atlantis:16:44)# tail -n 8 observium.log /opt/observium/poller.php all December 24, 2012, 16:25 - 3 devices polled in 21.97 secs /opt/observium/discovery.php new December 24, 2012, 16:30 - 0 devices discovered in 0.001 secs /opt/observium/poller.php all December 24, 2012, 16:30 - 3 devices polled in 21.46 secs /opt/observium/discovery.php new December 24, 2012, 16:35 - 0 devices discovered in 0.002 secs /opt/observium/poller.php all December 24, 2012, 16:35 - 3 devices polled in 21.41 secs /opt/observium/discovery.php new December 24, 2012, 16:40 - 0 devices discovered in 0.002 secs /opt/observium/poller.php all December 24, 2012, 16:40 - 3 devices polled in 21.97 secs /opt/observium/discovery.php new December 24, 2012, 16:45 - 0 devices discovered in 0.000 secs I'm not sure exactly what check-errors.php does (maybe it just checks the RRDs), but it seems to indicate that there aren't any glaring issues: (atlantis:16:45)# ./check-errors.php Checked 80 interfaces 0 interfaces with errors over the past 5 minutes. I even looked in the MySQL DB and the `devices` table seems to be populated correctly. The problem is that the web UI doesn't show any devices: http://www.prolixium.com/share/screens/observium-devices.png However, if I navigate to System -> About Observium, the statistics table shows devices, interfaces, CPUs, etc.: http://www.prolixium.com/share/screens/observium-stats.png I've got to be missing something obvious. I thought the user I created might not have sufficient privileges, but I created the user "prox" with privilege level 10. The only thing that did not go 100% as expected was the DB schema load. The instructions indicated that errors in the SQL revisions /up to/ 006 will be expected, but I saw two errors past revision 006: (atlantis:18:06)# php includes/sql-schema/update.php -- Updating database schema 000 -> 001 ... done. 001 -> 002 ... done. 002 -> 003 ... done. 003 -> 004 ... done. 004 -> 005 ... done. 005 -> 006 ... done. 006 -> 007 ... done (1 errors). 007 -> 008 ... done. [..snip..] 031 -> 032 ... done. 032 -> 033 ... done (2 errors). 033 -> 034 ... done. [..snip..] 039 -> 040 ... done. -- Done I'm not sure if this is minor or something to be concerned about. Here is some package information: mysql-server-5.5 5.5.24+dfsg-9 libapache2-mod-php5 5.4.4-10 apache2-mpm-prefork 2.2.22-12 There appear to be no PHP errors in the Apache error log I setup for the Observium virtual host. Is there anything else I should check? Oh, I'm using Google Chrome 23.0.1271.101 on MacOS 10.8 (at the moment, at least). Thanks! - Mark -- Mark Kamichoff prox(a)prolixium.com http://www.prolixium.com/

Cisco MPLS networks with pseudowires
by Adam Armstrong 24 Dec '12

24 Dec '12

All, I'm looking at rewriting the Cisco pseudowire code, as it basically doesn't work properly at all. Do any of you have a small network using pseudowires (MPLS and/or L2TPv3) you don't mind giving SNMP access to, or a bunch of spare lab routers you could spare for a while to put up a test network? Only Cisco is really relevant at the moment, as the MIBs for doing this are vendor specific! :( Thanks, adam.
