Geolocation detection improvement
by Mamitzsch,André 15 Sep '17

15 Sep '17

Hello We are constantly running into issues with the geolocation service and the automated detection of the coordinates – people tend to set additional information in the sysLocation which finally cause the geo api’s to fail. I would like to suggest a small format / code change here to make the geo location detection more usable and reliable. SysLocation should be set up in the form: <Business Name / Rack Location> Street No., ZIP Code City, Country The <Business Name / Rack Location> is still stored in observium but ignored when querying the api. --- geolocation.inc.php.org 2017-07-18 22:09:56.994896291 +0200 +++ geolocation.inc.php 2017-07-18 22:09:40.082938507 +0200 @@ -20,9 +20,14 @@ function get_geolocation($address, $geo_db = array(), $dns_only = FALSE) { global $config; + /* $address parsing, allow business names or additional information */ + /* address line should be: <ACME INC> Test Street 42, 823456 Somewhere */ + $address_orig = $address; + $address = preg_replace("/^<?.*>/","",$address); + $ok = FALSE; - $location = array('location' => $address); // Init location array + $location = array('location' => $address_orig); // Init location array $location['location_geoapi'] = strtolower(trim($config['geocoding']['api'])); if (!isset($config['geo_api'][$location['location_geoapi']])) { -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Best regards, André Mamitzsch

New error after update to latest SVN (stable branch)
by Shon Elliott 13 Sep '17

13 Sep '17

Hi Observium List, We updated Observium to the latest svn stable branch today. I made sure we had ran the update, so it shows that everything is up to date, including the database. We found that we ran into a snag when adding new users to the system via the web interface. I was able to add the user via the adduser.php script, but it's missing some data. When I went to go edit it, it logged the same error. Here are the excerpts of the errors below, one for adding the user, and one for editing the user added via adduser.php. [Tue Sep 12 14:23:32.609888 2017] [:error] [pid 42518] [client 1.2.3.4:51614] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function hash_equals() in /usr/local/www/observium/html/includes/functions.inc.php on line 313, referer: http://xxx/adduser/ [Tue Sep 12 14:26:36.631482 2017] [:error] [pid 42518] [client 1.2.3.4:10867] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function hash_equals() in /usr/local/www/observium/html/pages/edituser.inc.php on line 125, referer: http://xxx/edituser/user_id=13/ Any ideas?

One more for the customOID topic
by Jesper Frank Nemholt 13 Sep '17

13 Sep '17

So I also upgraded to the latest and got the autodiscovery on custom OIDs. Didn't have the best effect on my system as it mapped hundreds of individual Isilon nodes to a long range of custom OIDs I had created. So lessons learned / feature requests : - Previously one could pick (one by one or multi select) the devices to be covered in a specific custom OID. THis option seems to have gone now. I'd like that option back, or alternatively be able to somehow filter or group devices. I also use the combined line or stack graphs for certain things and sometime need to show just a group of devices and not all. Right now with the new version I can only show either a single device or all devices as I cannot create custom OID groups and then narrow down what devices to show there. - On systems like Isilon where you may want to both have cluster wide data (so polling the cluster alias) but also monitor each node in the cluster, the lack of the above mentioned filtering/grouping is a problem as currently the custom OID will only work for me if I delete all individual nodes and only monitor the cluster alias. On the other hand, now Servertech Sentry4 devices are better supported, so the net outcome of the upgrade was still positive for me. /Jesper

Feature idea: custom graphs
by Jesse Defer 12 Sep '17

12 Sep '17

Prior to the recent changes to Custom OIDs (r8738~r8741) we had been abusing the feature to create custom graphs containing multiple hosts. For example we had a graph of emails delivered that combined all of our email servers in one. Now with OID discovery added and manual association removed that graph goes from 20 hosts to 600 and is no longer very useful. I think moving some of the previous functionality of Custom OIDs into it's own Custom Graph feature would be very useful and welcome feedback on the idea. Thanks, Jesse DeFer Arizona State University

by Robert Williams 11 Sep '17

11 Sep '17

Hi all, I've got 12 ports showing as 'Down', both on the main page here... ...and on the menu: However, when you click the link, you don't get any results: (the link goes to: https://observius.cdc.local/ports/state=down/ignore=0/ ) So... How can I find out what/where/how these 12 ports are, so I can 'resolve' them please? Cheers! Robert Williams Custodian Data Centres https://www.CustodianDC.com

by Simon Mousey Smith 11 Sep '17

11 Sep '17

Hi All Im not sure if its Observium or TP-Link I should be asking really but ill ask in both places? Observium told me, one of our switches rebooted (which seemed odd as nobody can gain physical access to it) I checked observium and that shows an uptime of 16h 20m 30s When I snmpwalk the switch I can see DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (5883922) 16:20:39.22 But the TP-Link web panel shows RunTime: 332 day - 2 hour - 2 min - 39 sec ??? Any suggestions would be helpful :) Regards Simon
