offset port numbers
by James Plant 14 Jun '16

14 Jun '16

Hi, Adding switches on my observium is fine but the port numbers are 1 out as the ports start at swp00 instead of swp01, is there a fix for this?

BlueCat monitoring
by Jesper Frank Nemholt 13 Jun '16

13 Jun '16

Hi! I created a few custom OID entries for BlueCat (DNS). This works well as the DNS OIDs are straight forward. For the DHCP part of this product, using custom OIDs won't cut it as one have to traverse each subnet for data, so I wanted to know if anyone is working on enhanced BlueCat already ? /Jesper

Re: [Observium] Cool Output of APC in-row cooler, random enormous spikes.
by Henrik Cednert (Filmlance) 10 Jun '16

I'll be damned. That was probably just pure luck but it alerted faster than expected. Please see screenshot link displaying the alert mail, because they to look a tad odd: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5ynr67ior7at3e3/mailalert.png. It lasted for 5 minutes, or actually just a brief moment within the polling period, but look at the duration in the recovery email. Really odd. By the way, are there templates where we can configure the layout of the email alerts (subject, what it displays in body and more)? Here is a screenshot of the graph created from the data in previous command. https://www.dropbox.com/s/nw47m75tj601gmh/csv_graph.png So yes. There's spikes in the data and I guess they don't show up in data center expert because they run some filter at it or just ignore random peaks or something. The value of the peaks in the now collected data is ALWAYS 20480 which in some way feels significant since it's constant and feels like some sort of unit max value. Not sure if there's other higher peaks as well because what I see in Observium is higher or if the scale of the axis there is off, not sure but here's another screenshot. https://www.dropbox.com/s/0whwzf7wf34j8uu/observium_graph.png But, feels like an APC issue then so guess I'll have the pleasure of once again dealing with that support. =/ Cheers and thanks for the help Adam. -- Henrik Cednert cto | compositor Filmlance International | www.filmlance.se mobile [ + 46 (0)704 71 89 54 ] skype [ cednert ] From: observium <observium-bounces(a)observium.org<mailto:observium-bounces@observium.org>> on behalf of Henrik Cednert <henrik.cednert(a)filmlance.se<mailto:henrik.cednert@filmlance.se>> Reply-To: Observium Network Observation System <observium(a)observium.org<mailto:observium@observium.org>> Date: Friday 10 June 2016 at 15:27 To: Observium Network Observation System <observium(a)observium.org<mailto:observium@observium.org>> Subject: Re: [Observium] Cool Output of APC in-row cooler, random enormous spikes.

Hi Henrik, Sensors are all "gauges", so there's no real concept of spikes the way there is for ports (which are counters). If we're getting a spike, it's either that the device is sending the wrong data, or that the device is sending a number which hasn't been adjusted for the scale the device uses. It'll be the first if the 1.6-1.9 doesn't have any relation to the "real" number, and the latter if it's just off by a few orders of magnitude. It's pretty unlikely that we could do any bad maths, maths is easy, and such bugs would present much more regularly. These sorts of things are pretty common on many vendor's SNMP implementations. You might be able to see it in action by frequently polling the sensor in question's OID and logging the value. adam.

Dell/Force10 S60. Missing a few sensors/objects
by Henrik Cednert (Filmlance) 10 Jun '16

10 Jun '16

Hi there Let me start with apologise if I use the wrong terminology here, heard a few times on IRC that I need to read-up on MIB and OID's. =) My brain refuse to fulle understand it though, not sure why. Have added a Force10 s60 switch to observium. Mostly it's fine but I do miss sensors for PSU and the Fans. Here's a discovery.php -dd of the device: http://pastebin.com/D7FNqgVi Here's an (attempt) of snmpwalking it. Still not sure I do this the right way... http://pastebin.com/DnkZtkvX At around line 1788 and forward you can see the PSU and fan objects (line numbers in this paste is wrong). 1. F10-S-SERIES-CHASSIS-MIB::chStackUnitNumFanTrays.1 = INTEGER: 2 2. F10-S-SERIES-CHASSIS-MIB::chStackUnitNumFanTrays.2 = INTEGER: 0 3. F10-S-SERIES-CHASSIS-MIB::chStackUnitNumPowerSupplies.1 = INTEGER: 1 4. F10-S-SERIES-CHASSIS-MIB::chStackUnitNumPowerSupplies.2 = INTEGER: 0 5. F10-S-SERIES-CHASSIS-MIB::chStackUnitNumPluggableModules.1 = INTEGER: 2 6. F10-S-SERIES-CHASSIS-MIB::chStackUnitNumPluggableModules.2 = INTEGER: 0 7.

F10-S-SERIES-CHASSIS-MIB::chSysPowerSupplyType.1.1 = INTEGER: ac(1) 14. F10-S-SERIES-CHASSIS-MIB::chSysPowerSupplyType.1.2 = INTEGER: 0 15.

F10-S-SERIES-CHASSIS-MIB::chSysFanTrayOperStatus.1.2 = INTEGER: up(1) I looked at the documentation for something about expanding on existing device support. Couldn't find that and I assume it's not that easy? Have anyone added support for this in their observium installation or can point me in the direction on how to go about it (in a friendly way...).
