Hi, as I've seen there are a lot of DELL devices recognised properly, is there a chance that also Dell PoWerValut ML 6000 would be recognised? Thank you!

User Creation Failed?
by Luis Quintana 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

I have been looking around to see what could be the problem for this. I installed a new copy of observium on ubuntu and have followed the instructions given. When I get to the area to create a user by leveraging ./adduser.php , i get a messages stating the User creation failed. Is there something I am overlooking when i do this or some data i can provide or look at that can pinpoint me in the right/general direction?

Kernel version looping events
by Robert Williams 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

Hi, Since the auto SVN / discover at 06:00 (BST) today, several of our servers are logging repeated events as follows: 2013-08-29 09:10:25 System kernel -> 2.6.32-71.18.1.el6-0.20.smp.gcc4.1.x86_64 It appears to be occurring on every 5 minute poll: [cid:image001.png@01CEA499.4E1120E0] This is only affecting machines which run pre-configured (static, non-updating) software such as OpenFiler which is the target in the example above. Also at the first poll after 06:00 today, most of the other linux boxes logged events similar to the above, but, they logged it just once and then stopped. I’ve got no idea why / how this would be logged continuously, especially as the result is identical each poll, so any pointers welcome :) Cheers!

Re: [Observium] asa hostname chk
by Rob VanHooren 29 Aug '13

they're an ASA pair, the on-device hostname/sysName is always sync'd to be same same dns for the m0's can be (is) unique/different. wrapper logic on the addhost check to allow dup sysName if box (via e.g. sysDescr or sysObjectID) is ASA? dunno.

Average Packet Size on Cisco-Devices
by Chris 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

Hi There, I like seeing the Average Packet Size on Ports since 4361. But unfortunately I don't have data in graphs for all devices. It's working on: - 6500 VSS (Ten/Gig/Vlan/Po) (IOS 15.0) - ASA 55xx - Servers (Linux) - Riverbeds (Linux) - Cisco-WLAN-Controllers It's NOT working (empty graph) on: - 4500 (Ten/Gig/Po) - ASR1001 (Gig/Tu) (IOS 15.3S) - 7301 (Gig/Tu) (IOS 15.1M) - 28xx (Gig/Tu) (IOS 15.0M) - 18xx (Fa/Tu) (IOS 12.4T) Especially on our VPN-Rouers (73/28/ASR) this would be helpful. How can I debug some more things to get it working? Or how can I support you with information that you get it to work? Many thanks in advance, Chris

Re: [Observium] slow polling of Cisco 4500 VSS switches

Hmm. We don't even do anything with the poe information, are we still collecting it? Does the 4500 have any poe blades? Pretty scary walking the poe table would take so long. Adam.

RRD Graphs not showing
by Adam Summerfield 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

We have Observium installed on Ubuntu and it has been running for months... Just recently the RRD graphs have stopped appearing on the web pages I have upgraded to the latest version and it still is not working. The RRD files exist with the right permissions and the dates stamps are up to date. Can someone help please? Regards, Adam
