SMTP fail, ignores settings in config.php

Hi I'm trying to figure out what has happend to the mail in our observium. It was working for a while but not now.. My Observium is a TurnKey appliance download. Now i can see that it's trying to open port 25 on a server that it's not supposed to go to.. Don't know if someone have been messing with the server.. Here is my config.php settings. // Enable alerter (not available in CE) #$config['poller-wrapper']['alerter'] = TRUE; // Set up a default alerter (email to a single address) $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['descr'] = "Default Email Alert"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['type'] = "email"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['contact'] = "driftlarm(a)xxxxxx.se"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['enable'] = TRUE; //Email settings $config['email']['default'] = "driftlarm(a)cgit.se"; $config['email']['default_only'] = TRUE; $config['email']['from'] = "CGit Observium <observium(a)xxxxx.se>"; $config['email']['backend'] = 'mail'; $config['email']['smtp_host'] = 'smtprelay1.hosting.local'; $config['email']['smtp_port'] = 25; $config['email']['smtp_timeout'] = 10; $config['email']['smtp_secure'] = FALSE; $config['email']['enable'] = TRUE; $config['email']['smtp_auth'] = FALSE; $config['email']['smtp_username'] = NULL; $config['email']['smtp_password'] = NULL; ping smtprelay1.hosting.local PING smtprelay1.hosting.local (172.31.232.15) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from smtprelay1.hosting.local (172.31.232.15): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.460 ms /opt/observium# ./test_alert.php -a 34 MIB search path: /opt/observium/mibs Cannot find module (LM-SENSORS-MIB): At line 0 in (none) Observium 0.16.5.7901 Test Alert Notification ##### Software versions ##### o OS Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 [amd64] (Debian 8.1) o Apache 2.4.10 o PHP 5.6.20-0+deb8u1 (OPcache: DISABLED) o Python 2.7.9 o MySQL 5.5.49-0+deb8u1 (extension: mysqli 5.5.49) o SNMP NET-SNMP 5.7.2.1 o RRDtool 1.4.8 ##### MySQL mode ##### o MySQL ##### Charset info ##### o PHP UTF-8 o MySQL utf8 ##### Timezones info ##### o Date Monday, 13-Jun-16 21:23:47 CEST o PHP +02:00 o MySQL +02:00 o Notifying [email] Driftlarm: {"email":"driftlarm(a)cgit.se"} root@observium1 /opt/observium# Output from tcptrack Client Server State Idle A Speed 172.31.232.40:38086 172.16.102.16:25 SYN_SENT 1s 0 B/s 172.31.232.40:38088 172.16.102.16:25 SYN_SENT 28s 0 B/s 172.31.232.40:38090 172.16.102.16:25 SYN_SENT 28s 0 B/s And as you can see it's not supposed to connect to 172.16.102.16. that server does not even have a SMTP server on it.

Hi, We have a Nexus 5K with FEX. The Observium (v 7900) can show the temp datas of it. But if set the „Graph Previous” and „Show Legend”, the value of the previous temp datas shows as „A” instead of „C”(elsius). Attached a picture. Regards, Laszlo

offset port numbers

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.

One of them gets some weird 1.6-1.9M watts spikes every now and then. Once a day or such, without regularity. I have started to monitor the same device in Schneider Data Center Expert just to see if it's a device or monitoring issue. There's no spikes there so I do think it's something with Observium and this particular unit. The other unit is fine and no spikes there. Only difference is that the load on this one is smaller and at times down to 0. I do see that there's an option to log spikes in the config file. But not sure I can monitor a sensor with it since it says port and wants and ID. Can I debug these spikes in some way?
