Is the snmp output from Aruba devices total rubbish or is something upfucked in my install.
by Rowlands Mark 10 Jul '18

Observium 8.6.9263 (10th June 2018) OS Linux 4.4.0-116-generic [amd64] (Ubuntu 16.04) Apache 2.4.18 (Ubuntu) PHP 7.0.30-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 (OPcache: ENABLED) Python 2.7.12 MySQL 10.1.25-MariaDB-1~xenial (extension: mysqli 5.0.12-dev) SNMP NET-SNMP 5.7.3 RRDtool 1.5.5 (rrdcached 1.5.5: unix:/var/run/rrdcached.sock) Fping 3.13 (IPv4 and IPv6) I have a bunch of Aruba devices, WAP205H, IAP155, 303H and a single 7005. OS little varied but usually 6.4x or 6.5x. I am aware that the Aruba is not specifically supported but would expect basic snmp bandwidth info to be correct ( ish ) IAP155 and 7005 seem to report bandwidth traffic ok but the 205and 303 report nonsense. ( see the attached graph ) . Are there other Aruba users out there with similar issues or is it just me?

RHEL 7 and php 7.0 loading
by Dash Brousseau 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

I have a new os install for subscription of Observium on redhat 7 I can’t get the main page to work Website loads but it’s all texts. Trying with php 7.0.But there seems to be conflict between php 5.3 or difference between httpd24. I dont know In the error logs it doesn’t show anything wrong so I’m assuming its php problem In the browser I get this display all in text “* @copyright (C) 2006-2013 Adam Armstrong, (C) 2013-2016 Observium Limited * */ include("../includes/sql-config.inc.php"); include_once($config['html_dir'] .

Please disable it!', 'severity' => 'alert'); } //if (!function_exists('hash_exists')) //{ // $alerts[] = array('text' => 'The PHP `hash` module is missing This will cause editing and other forms to fail.

Your currently installed PHP version ' . PHP_VERSION . ' is older than the required minimum of ' . OBS_MIN_PHP_VERSION . '. Please upgrade your version of PHP to prevent possible incompatibilities and security problems.', 'severity' => 'danger'); } if (isset($config['alerts']['suppress']) && $config['alerts']['suppress']) { $notifications[] = array('text' => ' All Alert Notifications Suppressed” etc etc. But I follow the install guide at Observium website I even create a ticket with redhat I was directly here https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2662201 When I use httpd24-httpd to start apache,he doesn’t even reference /etc/httpd/conf.d/ where obersvium is. So observirum page doesn’t even load however the main apache site shows working php7.0 I will kill that and go back to this systemctl enable httpd systemctl start httpd And now I’m back at the same situation.

how to avoid false-positives (device down/up), on HPE switches and Aruba APs
by Thomas Stather 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

Hi Observium: 18.1.9011 (stable, subscribtion) We are monitoring our networking infrastructure with Observium and for a long time, i am seeing some false-positives. The poller period is 5 minutes and i.e. on 10:00am Observium reports a switch beeing down, where at 10:05am it reports it as beeing up again. This happens to HPE network gear (switches) as well as to wireless APs (Aruba). I set |$config['ping']['debug'] = TRUE; ||$config['ping']['timeout'] = 500; ||| |in config.php and will now monitor if that helps. Is there anything else i can try to solve this issue?| Best, Thomas -- Thomas Stather IT Services VCP4, VCP6-DCV Tel: +49 6221-486 628 Fax: +49 6221-486 561 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Max Planck Institute for Medical Research (MPImF) Jahnstrasse 29, 69120 Heidelberg Germany

SQL Query
by Andrew Lemin 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

Hi Adam, Hope you are well. Just a quick question about the Observium database schema. I need to write a simple query that will return a list of device names and the IP addresses which Observium uses for its polling (we don’t need or want any other addresses). I had a look and found tables ‘devices’ and ‘ipv4_addresses’. And I can see the device_id foreign key etc, so obtaining all the IPs for a device is trivial enough. But I am not sure how to best filter for just the IP which Observium uses for polling. I recently built a DNS zone for our network team using PowerDNS, and I just need to export all the devices and their management IPs from Observium, so I can inject the records into PowerDNS. So nothing fancy, but we have a couple hundred records.. Kind regards, Andy Lemin

Hi, devices polling not use tables with *_addresses, only hostnames.

Using professional edition license for testing
by Erdem HAKI 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

Hello, I want to migrate Observium professional edition to a new server, my plan is to install everything and testing them on the new box before moving data(rrd, database etc.). I saw "The subscription license is valid for a single production installation and two testing or development installations." on the page so I want to make sure that how should I handle license operation. I only can see one user/pass for my subscription when I logged in. Can I use it on the new box to download another Observium professional edition and test my build before moving data while my production Observium is still operational? Best

Possibility to disable/enable syslog view for user
by Klimek, Denis 04 Jul '18

04 Jul '18

Hi, what would you think about adding another permission level to disable/enable the possibility to view the syslog entries of a device? We have the situation that some external users must have access to specific devices and graphs, but this also includes syslog entries... and we simply do not want to show them this log entries i.e. cli commands that have been executed.
