That output is not actually related to memory pools, its from the ucd MiB used on Unix hosts. Adam.

Memory draw error
by Austin Marsh 26 Jul '13

26 Jul '13

I just did a fresh install of the newest observium (0.13.7.4200). Everything is working well except for my nexus 5k devices show a draw error for memory. Memory stats for the switches was working in previous observium releases. Here is the output from the poller below. I can get the memory from snmp via command line, I assume some mibs are messed up? /usr/bin/snmpget -v2c -c cwanro -OQUs -m UCD-SNMP-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs udp:boi-sw10:161 memTotalSwap.0 memAvailSwap.0 memTotalReal.0 memAvailReal.0 memTotalFree.0 memShared.0 memBuffer.0 memCached.0 memTotalSwap.0 = No Such Object available on this agent at this OID memAvailSwap.0 = No Such Object available on this agent at this OID memTotalReal.0 = No Such Object available on this agent at this OID memAvailReal.0 = No Such Object available on this agent at this OID memTotalFree.0 = No Such Object available on this agent at this OID memShared.0 = No Such Object available on this agent at this OID memBuffer.0 = No Such Object available on this agent at this OID memCached.0 = No Such Object available on this agent at this OID ________________________________ NOTICE: This e-mail message, together with any attachments, contains information of Clearwater Analytics and/or its affiliates that may be confidential, proprietary copyrighted and/or legally privileged, and is intended solely for the use of the individual or entity named on this message.

Re: [Observium] vrf dance

well then if nobody else out there gets it right, then that just screams "opportunity" for Observium! we can just all hope that it doesn't wind up giving Adam Mike and Tom too much brain damage. :-) R. PS: DNS separation I could see as logical for VDCs. But for VRFs? That's banannas to have to try do. Don't even know that it'd fully function. (e.g., traps etc. are pinned to source from just one vrf; how to map back the event blame of $other_vrf_"device" as culprit?) Screws loose in San Jose, for sure.

remedies to overcome vrf dance?
by Rob VanHooren 24 Jul '13

24 Jul '13

it appears that (non-global) VRFs (esp. wrt. RIB OIDs) somehow are seen by OBS only in my ASR 1ks and horde of c3750x. comparing with a handful of v6.1 Nexii 7k (and their vdc's), along with some archaic-but-still-v15 c3560s, the returned set is null. q1) need for the ugliness of snmp context mapping per vrf? q2) if so, is OBS prepared to iterate over the multiple communities per device? curious, R.

Re: [Observium] inserting default schema

I very much doubt reinstalling mysql will make any difference at all. You probably want to try adding a user to mysql with the correct user/pass first. We do give a. Nice copy/pasteable example for that... Adam.

inserting default schema
by Ryan Milton - MVS USA 24 Jul '13

Hi, I am building an Observium server on a Dell server (not a vm) and have run into the problem that when I run the command, php includes/update/update.php I get: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user observium@localhost (using passwd: YES) Now, when I select user, host from mysql.user; I DO see the observium user. No, I cannot log into the mysql with observium user, however. So, I know I'm close, but I'm not there yet, any assistance would be great. Regards, Ryan Milton Network Manager o: 201-447-1505 x124 c: 862-249-5230

Its not clear what your problem is from your description. I can say the issue is 99% likely to be fixed by following the install guide properly. Adam.

RRD Graphing problems
by Gerry Armstrong 24 Jul '13

Hi Guys, I am having a problem displaying data in the graphs. If I select an interface that has traffic reported and drill down to the graph I see all the graph entries with -nan but if I select the RealTime graph I can see the traffic flow. Can anyone explain why this would be and how I can resolve this? Thanks for any assistance with this. Regards, Gerry
