Graphs stopped working
by Tom Taylor 20 Feb '13

20 Feb '13

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone's got an idea as to why graphs would suddenly stop working? (see attachment) I hadn't updated anything or changed anything, the rrd's all have data in. It's running off Centos 6.2 Any ideas on how to troubleshoot? [cid:18152FC1-6ED1-47C0-8A4D-DC5CBEF4B7BF@mill-ny.com]

ifAlias fix
by Daniel Preussker 20 Feb '13

20 Feb '13

Hi, I came across a design flaw in ifAlias. First of all the flaw: declare -a INTERFACES=($(ip l|grep mtu|cut -d: -f2|sed s/\ //g)) ... INTERFACE=$(echo ${INTERFACES[$INDEX]}|cut -d@ -f1) The Interface INDEX is rarely equal to the indexes of the array. Thus getting all interfaces here is useless, we already get the right Interface ID from SNMPd, so the fix is: #declare -a INTERFACES=($(ip l|grep mtu|cut -d: -f2|sed s/\ //g)) ... #INTERFACE=$(echo ${INTERFACES[$INDEX]}|cut -d@ -f1) INTERFACE=$((ip l | grep "^${ID}: " | cut -d " " -f 2 | sed 's/://g') 2> /dev/null) This way, even when tap* respawns with a new INDEX it will still be mapped to the right Description and Alias. A 2nd bug has been spotted in snmpbulkwalk vs snmpwalk; snmpbulkwalk -QOUs [...] ifAlias leaves out some descriptions but snmpwalk does not, needs further investigation for now I just hacked the snmp.inc.php...

This week I made the upgrade to the latest release Observium. I noticed a graph clearer. And not in a legend of what can be.

BGP Alerts
by Tobias Brunner 18 Feb '13

18 Feb '13

Hi, Observium only logs when a BGP session goes up, but not when a session goes down. Is this a bug or can this be configured somewhere?

Clean install - SQL Schema errors
by Ciro Iriarte 17 Feb '13

17 Feb '13

I noticed that there are several errors running the schema creation on a clean/fresh install. Managed to run it without errors after a quick review and posted a patch at http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBSERVIUM-219 Some files even "errored" on the first line so maybe many changes never got to the database in production installations, any ideas about how to check schema "consistency"?. Missing indexes for example would never be noticed in small installations.. Regards, -- Ciro Iriarte http://cyruspy.wordpress.com --

Re: [Observium] ARP Table empty

It requires SNMP contexts, which are a pain. We've been wary of using them because then can cause huge poller delays on devices which don't support them. Adam.

We could use device attributes to disable it if it fails. But that might trigger if the device went down mid-poll :-\ Adam.
