Traffic bills page taking over a minute to display
by Mahomed Hussein 31 Aug '11

31 Aug '11

Hi We've been adding customers to the billing section and after a strange occurrence a few weeks ago (which we attributed to time changes between the VM and the ESX host), the billing page has been very slow to generate. Please could you let me know if there is anything I can do to check/fix the problem? Below is how long the most recent page display took: MySQL: Cell 63/0s Row 404/38.23s Rows 8/0.65s Column 189/56.87s Generated in 95.36 seconds. This is happening in the latest dev release of Google Chrome, Opera 11.50 and IE9 (I haven't tested firefox). I have already rebooted the server. Below is the system information. Observium 0.11.8.2404 Apache 2.2.17 (Ubuntu) PHP 5.3.5-1ubuntu7.2 MySQL 5.1.54-1ubuntu4 Any help will be sincerely appreciated.

Graphs showing no data and NaN
by Jeff Collyer 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

I recently installed Observium to monitor some voip switches. Previously I have had a different installation monitoring a ton of network gear, so I'm not unfamiliar with the intall process. This new installation appears to be gathering data, but all my graphs are just axis and legends and all the number are "NaN". Ubuntu 8.04 32 bit php5 5.2.4 myslq 5.0 rrdtool 1.4.3 snmp 5.4.1 Which is all the same as other the working system. Debugging : poller.php appears to be running fine and collecting data : Polled in 5.111 seconds UPDATED! MySQL: Cell[0/0s] Row[114/0.01s] Rows[17/0s] Column[0/0s] Update[116/0.57s] Insert[1/0s] Delete[0/0s] And the /device/#/ports/details/ page for my switch shows bandwidth numbers for each port, but completely blank mini graphs, and when I mouseover the mini-graph, it show graphs without any data, just axis, legend, and "NaN" for each value. Apache error logs don't show anything failing. Adding "&debug=1" to any of the graph.php pages, generates the same graphs without any data. I've checked file/path permissions, and they appear identical between boxes. Assuming user error, I've dropped the database and recreated it, along with a complete fresh install. Neither helped. I'm rather stumped, anyone have any ideas of what to look at next? Jeff

replacing device filling eventlog

When observium monitor device like router and you replace it with different model (leaving IP address same) it keep re-detecting interfaces with every poll. Here is example. 2011-06-21 12:00:34 dot11radio1 ifName: Do1 -> Nu0 2011-06-21 12:00:34 dot11radio1 ifDescr: Dot11Radio1 -> Null0 2011-06-21 12:00:34 dot11radio1 ifAdminStatus: down -> up 2011-06-21 12:00:34 dot11radio1 ifOperStatus: down -> up 2011-06-21 12:00:34 dot11radio1 ifSpeed: 54000000 -> 10000000000 2011-06-21 12:00:34 dot11radio1 ifHighSpeed: 54 -> 10000 2011-06-21 12:00:34 dot11radio1 ifType: ethernetCsmacd -> other 2011-06-21 12:00:34 dot11radio1 ifPhysAddress: 001bd50d0fb0 -> 2011-06-21 12:00:34 dot11radio1 ifConnectorPresent: true -> false 2011-06-21 12:00:34 dot11radio1 ifDuplex: unknown -> NULL 2011-06-21 12:00:34 FastEthernet3 ifName: Fa3 -> NV0 2011-06-21 12:00:34 FastEthernet3 ifDescr: FastEthernet3 -> NVI0 2011-06-21 12:00:34 FastEthernet3 ifMtu: 1500 -> 1514 2011-06-21 12:00:34 FastEthernet3 ifSpeed: 100000000 -> 56000 2011-06-21 12:00:34 FastEthernet3 ifHighSpeed: 100 -> 0 2011-06-21 12:00:34 FastEthernet3 ifType: ethernetCsmacd -> other 2011-06-21 12:00:34 FastEthernet3 ifPhysAddress: 001c58566065 -> 2011-06-21 12:00:34 FastEthernet3 ifConnectorPresent: true -> false 2011-06-21 12:00:34 FastEthernet3 ifDuplex: unknown -> NULL

global configs
by Mark Chaney 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

BTW, thanks for this great app. Its better than most of the commercial options i have even found. 1) How do I disable ipv6 reporting? Its not being used at all within my infrastructure. There is actually probably a lot of stuff that could be disabled, such as cisco and wireless, etc. I dont have either of those. Are filters used for this? 2) I see the config options for syslog, but then it says its not being used. So right now nothing is done with syslog at all? Im assuming there are plans for observium to become a syslog server then? Well, at least parse logs from one. 3) I do have multiple xen servers, what exactly does enabling the Virtualization options do and where would that data be available? 4) Since i have xen nodes, any recommendations for getting resource information to actual show for the entire xen host instead of just the dom0? 5) Service monitoring at this point is imply just up/down. Right? Is there that much on how quickly alerts are sent out? Can it wait to see it it fails for a second check before reported, etc? Wanting to reduce false positives. Note, i havent really done anything with alerts with observium, just reading over the docs. BTW, im using Observium 0.11.6.2390. Thanks for your time! - Mark

collectd dns graphs ... short memory
by Zane Thomas 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

The dns and powerdns plugins provide only the same 2 hour snapshot in all four graphs. Does anyone know why that is? Some other collectd tabs, such as cpu, do provide broader time ranges in the four graphs.

Observium and rancid integration
by Jenang Daftar 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

Hi, I'm trying to integrate rancid into observium. Here are what i've done: - Install observium and run it. Obeservium can collect statistic from device - Install rancid and run it. Rancid is collecting my device configuration - Enable rancid integration setting in observium: ### rancid integration $config['rancid_configs'][] = "/var/lib/rancid/mpbn/configs/"; $config['rancid_configs'][] = "/var/lib/rancid/gprs/configs/"; $config['rancid_ignorecomments'] = 0; # Ignore lines starting with # - Allow observium user to read rancid config (using observium user i can see the configuration collected by rancid) - I use the same hostname defined in my /etc/hosts for both observium and rancid But I couldn’t see any menu/link showed in Observium web page related to Rancid configuration. Regards, Zakki A Tigo Rwanda
