Monitor OSX system. Problem with reported size for NFS share and monitor processes
by Henrik Cednert (Filmlance) 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Hi there. Monitoring a osx "server" with observium. To get it to see the NF shares I added this to snmpd.conf: skipNFSInHostResources 0 storageUseNFS 2 This worked and I now see the shares. The large NAS is reported with wrong sizes though. Expected is this: df -ah |grep midskog filmddn:/ddnnas0/midskog 958Ti 193Ti 765Ti 21% 7479476 692520524 1% /Volumes/midskog Reported in observium is: Size: 208GB Used: 915GB Free: -707GB I actually think this could be an net-snmp bug in OSX but I'm not sure. When I snmpwalk locally I see this for that particular mount: HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageType.61 = OID: HOST-RESOURCES-TYPES::hrStorageFixedDisk HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.61 = STRING: /Volumes/midskog HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageAllocationUnits.61 = INTEGER: 512 Bytes HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageSize.61 = INTEGER: 436207616 HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageUsed.61 = INTEGER: 1920024576 Any one that had similar issues and found a solution? Next issue is that i try to monitor a process called 'nsd'. I have added it so snmpd.conf and when i walk the device locally I see it: filmserver01:snmp filmserver01$ snmpwalk -c public -v2c localhost UCD-SNMP-MIB::prTable UCD-SNMP-MIB::prIndex.1 = INTEGER: 1 UCD-SNMP-MIB::prNames.1 = STRING: nsd UCD-SNMP-MIB::prMin.1 = INTEGER: 0 UCD-SNMP-MIB::prMax.1 = INTEGER: 1 UCD-SNMP-MIB::prCount.1 = INTEGER: 1 UCD-SNMP-MIB::prErrorFlag.1 = INTEGER: noError(0) UCD-SNMP-MIB::prErrMessage.1 = STRING: UCD-SNMP-MIB::prErrFix.1 = INTEGER: noError(0) UCD-SNMP-MIB::prErrFixCmd.1 = STRING: But observium doesn't pick it up. Is this something that isn't supported or am I missing something? Cheers and thanks. -- Henrik Cednert cto | td | compositor Filmlance International Direct + 46 (0)704 71 89 54

Display of VRF's defined on a particular device in addition to globally?
by Steve Costaras 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Is there a way to display what VRF's are defined on a particular switch like you can vlans/ports/etc, in addition to globally? I'm running 0.16.17407. We have several thousand VRF's, being able to see what VRF's are actually defined on a device would really be nice opposed to having to log in each time when tracking things down. Since observium is obviously pulling this data to come up with the global view, it has to have it recorded. I think this would just be a display/parsing item? Is this something that may be included in a future version? Thanks. Steve

Problem on some graphs - Percent Utilisation
by Alexandre Corso 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

Hi everybody. I had a problem on some graph on my observium, for exemple graph Percent Utilisation of ports. I looked into the errors: RRDTool Output: ERROR: Unused Arguments "" in command : HRULE:100#555:: I modified my file : /opt/observium/html/includes/graphs/port/percent.inc.php - - line 25 $defs .= ' HRULE:100#555::'; + + line 25 $defs .= ' HRULE:100#555:'; - - line 26 $defs .= ' HRULE:-100#555::'; + + line 26 $defs .= ' HRULE:-100#555:’; I removed one ‘’:’’ at the end and it’s working. Is it a mistake ? Regards, -- Alexandre Corso acorso(a)franceix.net

Adding a new graph
by David Pinkerton 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

Observium newbie... This maybe a question that has been answered a million time but I've not been able to find an answer. I have an Avaya 4524 switch that is not in a climate controlled environment. I wish to graph the temperature within Observium. I know the OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.45.1.6.3.7.1.1.5 and the calibration is .5 degreee. ( ie. 70 = 35 degrees) I can view this in the switches GUI and by snmpwalk. I have confirmed Observium is using the correct MIB for the device. Can someone point me to a newbie guide. (My php skills are minimal)

Alerts ifType eq ethernetCsmacd
by Joey Stanford 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

Howdy, I wanted to thank everyone for the great support on this mailing list. I have another puzzler…the last one I hope. At the bottom of https://www.observium.org/docs/alerting_examples/ there are two alerts that rely on ifType eq ethernetCsmacd For some odd reason when I rebuild they don’t want to apply to any of my devices. As soon as I change that to “*” they bring in all the devices. I went out and pulled the data on the Mikrotik router ports and they are responding with this same ifType. I checked it vis snmpwalk and also on a test router using http://ip/device/device=1/tab=port/port=1/view=data/ I’ve tried spelling out equals, wrapping ethernetCsmacd in quotes (view=data says it’s a 14 character string), and a few other things but I haven’t found the right incantation. These two entries currently match the examples and the demo server. I’ve ensured that I have non-disabled ports and non-ignored ports that should be recognized. &debug=1 reveals SELECT `alert_status` FROM `alert_table` WHERE 1 AND `alert_test_id` = '7' AND (( `device_id` NOT IN (55) AND (`device_id` != ‘' AND `device_id` IS NOT NULL))) ORDER BY `device_id`, `alert_test_id`, `entity_type`, `entity_id` DESC (not there wasn’t a LIMIT 0,100 at the end of that select like on other alerts…aside from that this select is the same as the other alerts) Anyway that select returned 0 hits despite me having well over 100 active ports with that ifType. Any suggestions on how to debug this further? Thanks, Joey

Observium: Pre-auth and security questions
by Nate Mellendorf 25 Jan '16

25 Jan '16

Tom, I overlooked that setting and made the suggested change. However, Observium still seems to prompt for credentials after I sign in with basic auth. I changed the login mechanism to http-auth as well: $config['auth_mechanism'] = "http-auth"; I'll keep working on this, and report back if I can get it working. Thank you.

This stops observium from discovering the BGP sessions. I have done some research and found that Juniper devices seem to have a similar problem which was fixed in the polling / discovery script already. The same should be done for Cisco. The CISCO-BGP4-MIB included in Observium is somewhat outdated - CISCO introduced a parameter "cbgplocalAs" in a later version which delivers the correct result. Could you please look into this ? Thanks Andre
