Call to undefined function check_valid_sensors() on IPMI & Unix-agent polling
by Oliver Baker 21 Jul '16

21 Jul '16

Hi there, When polling with either IPMI or unix-agent modules enabled, the polling run stops with this error: Sensors: PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function check_valid_sensors() in /opt/observium/includes/polling/unix-agent.inc.php on line 174 I've updated to the latest non-stable release, and no change. I've also historically had this issue and cleared my /opt/observium directory and re-installed but no change. Any ideas? Happy to provide more info if needed. Many thanks Olly

NetApp c-DOT updates
by Jesper Frank Nemholt 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

Hi! I just updated to 7961 and saw that NetApp c-Dot is now reporting volumes like it has done for long on OnTAP 7. Great :-) However, the total and used capacity are all 0, so something with the Index is wrong or simply not done yet. Anyone knows if this is a known issue and being worked on, or ? /Jesper

Re: [Observium] Steps to add custom oid

Hi Steve, What do you mean, not getting any data? You said the graphs show up fine? Care to share a screenshot? Also copying the mibs doesn’t work, as this is custom OIDs, the whole meaning behind it, is that you don’t need the MIBs for that.

A few Q's for the roadmap...IS-IS support, data sources, etc.
by Aaron Finney 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

I know this has been asked/answered, but the whole archives thing...what's the history behind [the lack of] support for IS-IS data in Observium, are there any plans to add it at any point, and would it be of value to anyone else? Even basics like warning on adjacency changes, tracking neighbors over time, etc. would be great...I would personally find it of value for an additional sanity check during maintenances or outages - an ISIS health overview tab for a device with the ISO address/area, participating interfaces, and stats. Generalizing the data pool: any current thoughts around creating an abstraction layer between Observium and its data source? Mysql as the sole backend presents some challenges for us in trying to scale Observium to production. OBQL? :) Sort-of on the tails of that last question, has there been any discussion about adapting Observium to take advantage of network devices which emit metrics using thrift/protobuf? E.g. using some other data pipeline/collection system as a data source...or even doing the collection itself and doing the necessary quantization/processing to produce a useable view. Last one in that train of thought, any thoughts around incorporating additional data collectors other than simple snmp polling (e.g. facebook's udppinger or fbtracert)?

Alert for port-channel summary?
by Laszlo Nemeth 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

Hello, We have Cisco Nexus switches with VPC configuration. On the switches are configured a portchannel (in VPC with 2x10G ethernet) to the same 3. device. The problem is: I would like to create an alert if the traffic to the 3. device more than 8G I have to get an alert. Now because the 2 nexus just show only the own port-channel traffic, if one portchannel traffic on switch#1 is 6G and on the switch#2 is 5G the 8G alert doesn’t work. But because of the redundancy in this case I have to get an alert because the aggregated traffic is 11G (and if one of the 10G goes down this traffic is overloaded). The alert is: Test: ifOutOctets_perc gt 80 Device Match / Entity Match Hostname match *switch* ifAlias match *to 3. device* So it cover the switch#1 and switch#2 and the port-channel interfaces with description “2x10G to 3. device” but this alert check the port-channels like a line not an aggregated traffic. Is there any option to add two device’s interfaces and create an alert for this summary? Or can I create an alert for a port group aggregated traffic? This would be great in this case too. Thanks BR Laszlo

Frequent drop outs from WebUI
by Roland Schwingel 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

Hi... I am running Observium for quite a while now. But there is one thing that bugs me. I first thought this is a bug and would be fixed at some time but I am updating Observium frequently from svn yet with no change. I am frequently dropped out of Observium with an authentication error. I log in (with LDAP authbackend) just fine. But sometimes after 30 minutes, sometimes even after a few seconds I am dropped out of Observium. When I click the "Remember me" (Cookie) button this lasts a little longer. Sometimes I am immediately kicked directly after logging in. This is also logged in Observiums "Authentication log" as "Authentication Failure" in the very same second as the "Logged in" event occured. Is anything known about this? Or is it just a nifty PHP config variable about session handling I forgot to set? Thanks for your help, Roland

JunOS autodiscovery where SNMP is in a routing-instance
by Jason Lixfeld 19 Jul '16

19 Jul '16

Hi, I’ve been reading up on how to interact with a JunOS device where the SNMP agent is contained in a VRF (Routing Instance). In order to poll it properly, I’m required to use '<Routing_Instance_Name>@commmunity' instead of just ‘community’. I think I’ve covered this off in the config.php by adding the equivalent to the proper array: $config['snmp']['community'] = array(“comm",”MANAGEMENT@comm”); While reading up on the autodiscovery process itself in the documentation, it says: "Devices must return valid, resolvable sysName” When I poll it manually, sysName returns <Routing_Instance_Name>@hostname: SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: MANAGEMENT(a)lab01.juniper Does that mean MANAGEMENT(a)lab01.juniper needs to resolve, or will Observium truncate MANAGEMENT@ when trying to resolve the rest of what is in sysName? Thanks!

Making an alert for mapped interfaces
by Heston Kan 18 Jul '16

18 Jul '16

Hey All, I want to create an alert if any interface between two managed/discovered devices in Observium. This includes switchers and routers, servers...etc. I'd also like these to be based on Observium's device Mapping that is available per device. In the checker conditions I'd put hostname matches * but under the checker device and entity association. There's no entity for mapped devices whether it be via CDP/LLDP or detected from observium itself. Perhaps I'm missing the obvious. Thanks! Heston

So the time reported are always pretty bonkers. I can see that with the help of timestamp on the emails , slack notifications and the timestamp of previous recovery. And for the very first recovery of a device/sensor the duration is list as "unknown".

Toner History Graphs
by Richard Franks 15 Jul '16

15 Jul '16

I have a bit of an odd one. I have two printers in my observium install. One has been in for ages (an HP laser jet), the other I added a couple of weeks ago (A sharp MFD photocopier thingy). By the looks of things, the HP has been collecting data correctly for ages, and graphing it nicely. I can see the pretty line that shows that the toner has reduced over time. Oddly, it stopped collecting on the 7th July, and hasn’t graphed anything since then. The Sharp, which has been in less time (since Thursday 7th), has never graphed its toner properly. They are both showing the correct level of toner (well, the Sharp is showing two of them at -3, but I’ve checked the snmp output, and it’s returning -3, so that’s nothing to do with observium). Even more weirdly, the toner level on the weekly graph is showing the correct number. The rest show -nan% The Sharp: The HP: I don’t know much about how the graphing side of things works, so I don’t have much knowledge with which to do any debugging, but happy to send more debug info if required!

Incorrect free physical memory for Unix hosts
by Oliver Baker 15 Jul '16

15 Jul '16

Hi, Loving Observium in general but the only issue I'm having is that for all our Unix-like hosts the free memory is reported too literally to be useful. The cached memory pool is included in the "used memory" count, causing almost all our hosts to appear as having less than 5% free physical memory. Is there a way to get free memory not including the cached memory pool? Currently the alert checker I'm using is flagging all our hosts as "out of memory" Many thanks in advance Oliver B

Arch -> extension (since 16.04 upgrade)
by Robert Williams 08 Jul '16

08 Jul '16

Hi, Just completed a release upgrade on Observium itself (14.04 to 16.04) and now it is reporting its own architecture as 'extension'. Wouldn't be an issue really, but every single time it polls it updates the event log like this: I've attached a debug output of the poller as this may help to track it down. Interestingly, a lot of our other servers run 16.04 now but it only reports this for 'itself' - not the others. Anyone have any ideas? Cheers!

poller-wrapper.py does not run, but poller.php does
by Chrys Thorsen 07 Jul '16

07 Jul '16

Hi Guys, Newbie here. I just installed the latest version of Observium (subscription) onto Ubuntu 14. It discovered my Cisco router, 15 Cisco switches, and 4 Microsoft servers no problem. HOWEVER, poller-wrapper.py does not run. Days later, still no polling. I have this line in /etc/cron.d/observium: */5 * * * * root /opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py 16 >> /dev/null 2>&1 If I manually run /opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py I get this error: "ERROR: Could not load or parse observium configuration, are PATHs correct?" If I manually run poller.php, all the devices get polled just fine. I don't have a PATH statement in crontab. I can add one, but I'm not sure exactly what to add. I also notice that Joe Snijder's post says the syntax should have the word "python" after "root". Does that make a difference? Please help! Thanks, Chrys -- Chrys Thorsen Director of Technology and Training

ID of graph changes and "jumps" between storage on server
by Henrik Cednert (Filmlance) 06 Jul '16

06 Jul '16

Hello I have an issue that bugs the heck out of me. Not sure exactly what's going on but in short: First of all, when I write ID I mean the ID in the url when looking at the graph for a storage attached to a server. Like "....//graphs/to=1467822524/id=219/type=storage_usage/from=1467736124/" where the ID is 219. The storage I monitor on this OSX server is connected via iSCSI, NFS, SNFS and Avid ISIS. What happens is that when rebooting or if a storage is disconnected and reconnected the above mentioned ID changes. Not alway but very often and it gives some odd subsequent errors like alert checkers being triggered for the wrong storage. Which I don't know how it's even possible since I assume they're not based on ID in the background? But on these two screenshots an alert was triggered for a storage not in the alert checker. https://www.dropbox.com/s/9ttr7b86hv28pnp/alertChecker01.png https://www.dropbox.com/s/th7rqel88pntpvl/alertChecker02.png It also messes with the minigraphs on the front page since they're hardcoded to an ID. An ID that can have gone missing or changed... It also seems messes with the graphs since in some situations looks like it can get stuck in a mode where wrong storage are monitored and graphed into another storages graph. Real odd and not sure that's really whats going on or if it's snmpd on the server that reports wrong. But it's timed with reboot and or the other isses above. https://www.dropbox.com/s/rdrhetew8nod09o/graphID01.png Have any one had similar issues?

Problems getting Interface stats (IF-MIB)
by Andre Geißler 06 Jul '16

06 Jul '16

Hi For some reason getting interface statistics stopped about 3 weeks ago for some devices. I'm updating observium every day so problem exists for several versions. Affected are only 2 of around a dozen Cisco ASAs. I cannot see this problem on other device types. Under device' MIB properties I can see request timeouts for " *ifInMulticastPkts.18 ifOutMulticastPkts.18 ifInBroadcastPkts.18 ifOutBroadcastPkts.18 ifHCInOctets.18 ifHCOutOctets.18 ifHCInUcastPkts.18 ifHCOutUcastPkts.18 ifHCInMulticastPkts.18 ifHCOutMulticastPkts.18 ifHCInBroadcastPkts.18 ifHCOutBroadcastPkts.18 ifInOctets.18 ifOutOctets.18 ifInUcastPkts.18 ifOutUcastPkts.18 ifInNUcastPkts.18 ifOutNUcastPkts.18 ifInDiscards.18 ifOutDiscards.18 ifInErrors.18 ifOutErrors.18 ifInUnknownProtos.18 ifMtu.18 ifSpeed.18 ifPhysAddress.18 ifAdminStatus.18 ifLastChange.18 ifPromiscuousMode.18 ifConnectorPresent.18" All other values can be read without any problem.* When doing snmpget manually there is also no problem. No difference when using snmp v2c or v3. Any idea or advice? Thanks, Andre **

How to give permissions to view a device
by Tobias Vlasblom 05 Jul '16

05 Jul '16

Hello, I want to give access to a specific device to a specific observium user. This user should not see the other devices that are being monitored by observium. I have created the new user as a normal user (level 1). As expected, when I log into observium this user has access to nothing. My question: where do I configure what devices that this user should have access to? Or where in the device configuration do I configure what users may access the device? I apologize if the answer to this question is obvious and I missed it while googling. Thanks in advance, Tobias

Alert check on custom IOD / Customers and L2TP
by Grégory TRAN 05 Jul '16

05 Jul '16

Hello, Observium is a great tool and I'm still getting my hands on it. I've encountered the following issues and hope somebody can help me : 1) I'm trying to do an alert check on custom IOD but haven't found how to specify this in the check conditions. Is there's any way to do this ? 2) I activate the Customers and L2TP in the config.php file and I'm trying to make it work. Do you have any more informations about how to configure my equipments ? I manage to configure Transit by specifying "transit" on the port and it works great. A colleague of mine told me that there used to be a wiki page about this before but it seems it's not online anymore. Thank you for taking the time to help me. -- Greg

overview page of Historical availability of specific alertcheckers
by Bastiaan Topper 29 Jun '16

29 Jun '16

Hello, Is there a way to get an overview page of the status of all the historical availability graphs of a specific alert type? So for example a page with all the DeviceDown alert type checks, with per device the row of graphs of the historical availability of the check. And preferably filtered by the devices in a group. For example, something looking like this: [cid:image001.png@01D1D1F7.867E5A90] What I try to achieve is an overview of the availability of devices for a specific group (for example a customer). Kind regards, Bastiaan Topper

Billing fails on specific interfaces

Hi! I was testing billing and with certain interfaces it reports no data, despite the graphs clearly showing data.

Linux Firewall/Conntrack stats
by Attila Nagy 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '16

Hi guys, I wanted to see some firewall statistics (more exactly connection tracking statistics) of some of our Linux servers, but I couldn't find anything alike in Observium. Am I too lame, or is this a non-existing feature? If it is non-existing then could you tell me whether the future plans do involve this? Thanks, Tylla

Debuging slow SNMP-queries
by Markus Klock 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '16

Hey guys, I noticed I have some devices in my network that are responding very slow on just some specific SNMP-queries so I hacked together a small script that will parse the debug-output of Observium poller or discovery and then show you a list of the snmp-commands that took the longest to complete. I wrote a blogpost on how to use it here: http://blog.best-practice.se/2016/06/observium-performance-tuning.html and you can download the script from github: https://github.com/ZerxXxes/observium-logparser [image: Infogad bild 1] It was very helpful in finding what devices needed a software update ;) I hope it can be useful for others too /Markus

Re: [Observium] observium Digest, Vol 71, Issue 24

You should monitor your Dell server using snmp on the idrac itself like its a different device. The most important thing is the global status It will display in alert in the statuses front page. The global status is the color of the led when it's amber you have an issue. Now you will be able to see that in observium as well. Good luck.

SNMP just sometimes has a hickup. Although usually I don’t have these, but in order to prevent panic/heart attacks, I did introduce that 1 time delay on my device down alerts. Haven you applied alert checkers on port-errors all around your network as well? CRC/port errors, and things like these you might want to fix first before you actually get in to device down alerting. Just a simple "ifInErrors_rate gt 0 & ifOutErrors_rate gt 0 on ifType equals ethernetCsmacd” alert-check will give you all these ports. you’d be surprised how much stuff is wrong in an average network. Also certainly check the port to which your observium machine is connected to, and make sure to monitor your observium machine as well, make sure your machine is well specced out. In addition to this, I’ve configured IP SLA on all our core routers to see/verify that latency on our links is within the SLA parameters of our suppliers. Do this before you check on devices down.

Re: [Observium] Delay the alert trigger in case of loss only one ping
by ron＠rjr-services.com 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '16

I'll echo this sentiment. We were seeing a large number of false positives because of lack of SNMP response from some devices even though they were responding to pings without problem. Setting a delay of 1 reduced the number of alerts we were seeing substantially. We do still get a couple devices that will fail both checks, usually right after the discovery run, and we'll get an alarm on that, but it clears itself next poll. Damn Cat6509s and Nexus 1000Vs. ;-) Sent from my Verizon 4G LTE smartphone -------- Original message -------- From: "Moerman, Maarten" <mmoerman(a)ebay.com> Date: 6/27/16 4:39 AM (GMT-06:00) To: Observium Network Observation System <observium(a)observium.org> Subject: Re: [Observium] Delay the alert trigger in case of loss only one ping -- This message has been scanned by E.F.A.

I am running a backup job (8TB) over a 1Gbit Interface, from Windows Server 2012 R2 -> HP switch -> Freebsd 10.2 The freebsd snmp interface reports the real Bits/s with an Avg In of 511.98M while the Windows Interface in charge reports an average of 32M out. If I take a look at the Task Manager within windows I'd also guess and Avg of 500Mbit/s. Also the Unicast Packets TX of Windows are very similiar to the Traffic RX at freebsd. I have attached two screenshots and would be very glad if someone could take a look. I have also added the relevant part of my weathermap, where I take the switch interfaces snmp to draw the links, and they look very alike to the windows interface, but not to the freebsd. Please help, I am starting to doubt my qualification. with kind regards, Valentin

Hey all, New to Observium and loving it so far. I've done some reading, but I can not find an answer to my issue. I would really appreciate some pointers here. After about 6 hours, i start seeing a looping PTR request: 23:14:37.602724 IP 192.168.155.13.39891 > 8.8.8.8.domain: 54851+ PTR? 15.155.168.192.in-addr.arpa.

Group ports based on subnet...?
by Henrik Cednert (Filmlance) 19 Jun '16

19 Jun '16

Hello Trying/wanting to create a group for ports based on what subnet they're on. Is this possible...? Think I've tried most approached but haven't managed so far. When looking at details on ports for a device this is pretty much already done at the right most column next to mac adress. So doesn't seem that far fetched? =) Cheers and thanks -- Henrik Cednert cto | compositor Filmlance International | www.filmlance.se mobile [ + 46 (0)704 71 89 54 ] skype [ cednert ]

WatchGuard Device Discovery
by Duncan Mossop 16 Jun '16

16 Jun '16

Good Morning, I’ve recently added a WatchGuard M200 into Observium which discovers all the correct interfaces/counters but shows the device ultimately as generic / unknown. Is this a WatchGuard issue in regards to what is exposed by SNMP or is it something that might appear in an Observium update? We’re on 16.5.7872.

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

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.

Dell/Force10 S60. Missing a few sensors/objects
by Henrik Cednert (Filmlance) 10 Jun '16

10 Jun '16

Hi there Let me start with apologise if I use the wrong terminology here, heard a few times on IRC that I need to read-up on MIB and OID's. =) My brain refuse to fulle understand it though, not sure why. Have added a Force10 s60 switch to observium. Mostly it's fine but I do miss sensors for PSU and the Fans. Here's a discovery.php -dd of the device: http://pastebin.com/D7FNqgVi Here's an (attempt) of snmpwalking it. Still not sure I do this the right way... http://pastebin.com/DnkZtkvX At around line 1788 and forward you can see the PSU and fan objects (line numbers in this paste is wrong). 1. F10-S-SERIES-CHASSIS-MIB::chStackUnitNumFanTrays.1 = INTEGER: 2 2. F10-S-SERIES-CHASSIS-MIB::chStackUnitNumFanTrays.2 = INTEGER: 0 3.

Proper procedure in Observium for hardware replacement?
by Derek 09 Jun '16

09 Jun '16

So, I had a question regarding hardware replacement. I recently replaced several Cisco 2811 routers with Cisco ISR 4331's, and kept the same host name. After the swap, I noticed I wasn't getting any graphs for data flow on the serial interfaces. I attempted running discovery on them again, and waited for a few polling cycles, but still go no data. In the end, I ended up deleting the devices completely out of Observium, including the RRD files, and re-adding. After this was done, everything showed up correctly. So, as I will be doing more of these soon, is there a specific process I should follow for these? Maybe rename the old device to a different hostname, then add the new device? The historical data wasn't critical, so I'm not too bothered losing it, but I would like to avoid it if possible. Thanks, Derek

website formatting is borken
by Christopher Barry 07 Jun '16

07 Jun '16

Greets, I signed up to the mailing list just to point out that the page header on all documentation pages is half-obscured by the menu bar and looks like crap. In the picture, it's the 'Screenshots' header, but it's on all pages. Thought you might want to know that. http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=103988 Yes, it's scrolled all the way up... Also, having a simple contact email address at the bottom of the homepage for this type of thing would certainly be nice. I had to jump through a bunch of hoops (sign up, wait for moderation, put image on paste site, blah, blah, etc.) just to tell you this out of the goodness of my heart. Likely nobody else will do this - and I'm not even using this product! You're welcome. Running: Debian sid Firefox ESR 45.1.1

Apps graphs in Observium
by Mads Boye 06 Jun '16

06 Jun '16

Hello. I am using Observium to monitor two postfix servers. However the APPS summary site, does not show the postfix graph. From what i can gather it seems that there is a mismatch in what application name the apps overview page uses and the apps subpage for the individual server. i.e. the postfix server app subpage calls http://observium.my.server.bla/graphs/to=1465199547/id=10/type=applicat ion_postfix_sent/from=1465113147/ and the apps overview calls: http://observium.monitor.srv.aau.dk/graphs/to=1465199603/from=146511320 3/legend=no/type=application_postfix_mailgraph_sent/id=10/ if i remove the "mailgraph" part form the last link the correct graph shows. I've tried to add the postfix application to the "includes/definitions/apps.inc.php with no luck. If the application name is correct it cannot find the graph postfix_sent etc. <?php // Definitions related to the applications system // Application graph definitions $config['app']['moodle']['top'] = array('users', 'mobile'); $config['app']['varnish']['top'] = array('backend', 'cache', 'lru'); $config['app']['postfix_mailgraph']['top'] = array('sent', 'spam', 'reject'); // End application definitions I might be overlooking something or doing it wrong, but it seems that the mismatch should be corrected? I have added both postfix scripts form scripts/agent-local And a second question. I've made a custom Observium app for monitoring an application, which is working fine. My problem is that i wish to extend the agent to monitor some extra paramters. RRDtool now says that there is no entry for the new DS in the rrd file. Is there a way to update the RRD file, so i do not have to delete it and loose the historical data from the other parts that i monitor? Let me know if you need additional informations on both problems. Best Regards, Mads.

Rancid integration - Cannot see old versions anymore
by Andy Lemin 03 Jun '16

03 Jun '16

Hi, Hopefully this will be a simple question and I've just misconfigured something, anyway.. We have rancid working great before, and when you go to the Config tab, it showed you the latest configuration, as well as the configuration revision history. However after upgrading the server to Jessie (probably unrelated but seemed to break a couple weeks around this time), we now only see the latest config only and not the history anymore? We have these settings; $config['rancid_configs'][] = "/var/lib/rancid/observium/configs/"; $config['rancid_ignorecomments'] = 0; And we have done this; http://www.observium.org/docs/rancid/ It all works, just only shows the most recent? We need to roll some config back and couldn't.. Cheers, Andy. -- *Download our latest free guide here <https://www.brandwatch.com/competitive-intelligence-guide/>*

Recent Events timestamps
by Jacob Bisby 02 Jun '16

02 Jun '16

Hi all I've just migrated our Observium installation over to a PHP7 based install (much quicker than the PHP5 based install so far). Everything seems fine except for the Recent Events list on the front page - the "time" counter since the event occurred has started getting stuck at 0 seconds for some reason, but the tooltip that pops up when you mouse over the 0s timestamps shows the correct time that the event occurred at. Is PHP7 a no-no for Observium at this point? - Jacob Bisby

Since the beginning of April, we have several times a day those messages: 2016-04-07 12:37:24 edge.dc2 edge.dc2.dom.tld Bgp-peers: 6 updated, 49 unchanged. 2016-04-07 06:35:19 edge.dc2 edge.dc2.dom.tld Bgp-peers: 6 updated, 49 unchanged. 2016-04-07 00:41:10 edge.dc2 edge.dc2.dom.tld Bgp-peers: 6 updated, 49 unchanged. (... more of the same ...) 2016-05-25 12:37:02 edge.dc2 edge.dc2.dom.tld Bgp-peers: 6 updated, 49 unchanged. 2016-05-25 06:36:33 edge.dc2 edge.dc2.dom.tld Bgp-peers: 6 updated, 49 unchanged. 2016-05-25 00:38:06 edge.dc2 edge.dc2.dom.tld Bgp-peers: 6 updated, 49 unchanged. Routers (we have this on several) are Juniper MX5. Analysis of the logs reveals that nothing has moved on the bgp side, no flap, no event, peers are steady. I've tried to look into what pushes Observium to emit those messages, but I'm a bit lost. Any ideas ? Thanks, Arnaud.

global template settings
by Martijn Fennis 30 May '16

30 May '16

Hi, first time user of observium and i like the info that i can get with it. The documentation is probably behind the "client-area" @ observium.org? I have no idea if it matters whenever i change the type from "server" to "firewall", does it apply other MIB's to the device? I am trying to figure out how i can minimize the amount of polling bandwidth. I see there is a "global-setting" or "device-setting" but how to modify those globally @ template? Regards, Martijn

Hello, this maybe a malformed question but has anyone used Observium to graph Citrix ICA or Remote Desktop logins / session count? I am guessing this could only be done with a WMI query so no? but thought I would ask.

Re: [Observium] can't resolve host, but I can ping it
by Dev 27 May '16

27 May '16

Thanks Adam, that worked. The strange thing is when I run ./discovery.php -h all It enumerates hundreds of network devices by IP that aren’t listed in /etc/hosts, but for some reason it doesn’t populate them all in the web GUI > Devices, so I guess I have to write something that converts all those IP’s to hostnames and adds them all to /etc/hosts, which seems hard. Am I missing something? Does the enterprise version resolve IP’s? Now I have to figure out why it’s not polling the interfaces on the devices it added successfully to create traffic graphs, though I made the crontab entries as specified in the install docs. > Use a hostname. > > The current CE won't allow addition of devices by IP. > >Adam. > >Sent from BlueMail > > > On 26 May 2016, 22:16, at 22:16, Dev <dev(a)logicalwebhost.com> wrote: > ./add_device.php 1.2.3.4 catalyst v1 > > fails with > > Try to add 1.2.3.4: > Could not resolve 1.2.3.4. > Devices failed: 1. > > but ping works > > fping 1.2.3.4 > 1.2.3.4. is alive > > but snmpwalk works like: > > snmpwalk -v 1 -c catalyst 1.2.3.4 > iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0 = STRING: "Cisco IOS Software, Catalyst… > ... > > The web interface add device also fails same way. what am I missing?

Discards reporting incorectly
by Andy Lemin 27 May '16

27 May '16

Hi, We have noticed an interesting problem where on all of our OpenBSD firewalls, every single interface on the same firewall reports the same discards rate. We would like to try and work out which interface these discards are actually happening on, so we can work out what the cause is and check for a possible remedy (wrong VLANs being trunked through for example). If they are bad checksums, than that's ok. But would like to know ;) Below is a screenshot showing the "Errors" graphs for all ports on the same server, notice how they are all displaying the same data. My thoughts of how to start are; What is the SNMP OID being polled for this information? I wonder if OpenBSD is incorrectly reporting the same value on all interfaces, or if there is only a single Discards counter/OID for the whole system, or if it is an Observium problem etc.. So if anyone can tell me the OID, I can do some more investigation first ;) I don't mind setting up OID mappings in SNMPD etc, if that is required I would be happy to provide a configuration template for Observium and OpenBSD. And I also wonder how up to date the OpenBSD MIB file built into Observium is? Thanks in advance for your help :) Kind regards, Andy.

HI! I added 2 new routers direct with ipv6 direct in cli. Every thing works nice exept the aggregated graphs were the 2 new routers are a part.

Missing BGP Peers
by Duncan Mossop 25 May '16

25 May '16

Afternoon, Before I open a ticket with JTAC, I have a Juniper MX router that currently displays no BGP peer data (it used to once upon a time). I ran ./poller.php -h <device_id> -m bgp-peers –d against it and got the attached output. I also get the below every day or so: [cid:image001.png@01D1B683.F2B58B50] I could be wrong but from that log file it looks like the snmpwalk is returning data from the device? Could someone run their eyes over the log and see if they agree and if so where do I need to look next in order to resolve this issue?

Alert Checker options
by Lyndon Labuschagne 25 May '16

25 May '16

Hi All Is there a way of removing a subset of device names from the alert checker configs, i.e. !somename.* * or NOT EQUAL somename.* * or similar so if there are devices that I want to graph, but dont care if they are up or down. Which brings me to another point I guess, is there a way of not showing certain things on the dashboard or diminishing the value / time of a notified device, I dont need to know about a rebooted device for 24 hours, also is there are 2 or 3 errors on an interface I may not need to know about them, and as per above I may only want to graph traffic on a device if it is up, and dont need to know if it isnt up

Alert Dependencies
by Spencer Ryan 20 May '16

20 May '16

I've asked about this before but how hard would it be for you guys to implement alert dependencies? The easiest way I can think of doing it would be to simply let us set a "parent" device for anything, and if that device is offline don't send any alerts for downstream devices. For example we have a testlab that has no UPS/Generator power that we monitor about 200 devices, when the building loses power we get those 200 alarms about devices being offline, when in reality there is a single 6500 as the gateway, and if that switch is offline, i know the rest will be. We don't want to disable the offline alarms because we do want to know when individual devices drop out.

RRD Files - Error Drawing Graph - Before you groan, its limited to OpenBSD and I have an RRDCommand.. ; )
by Andy Lemin 20 May '16

20 May '16

Hi, On Observium commercial, all of our OpenBSD firewalls fail to draw the "Processors" graph on the device Overview page :( However if you go to the "Graphs" tab on the Device page, the "Processors" graphs do draw.. It seems to only be limited to the "Overview" tab on the device page. Our Linux servers, Cisco, HP gear etc are all fine. For both the OpenBSD firewalls and the Linux servers, the Processors graph on the Overview page seems to be based on "Device (ucd_ss_cpu)". But the Processors graph which does work looks to be based on "Device (processor)". So it seems that "Device (ucd_ss_cpu)" is not populated for OpenBSD, where Observium thinks it should be.

DPKG version listing order
by Alex Winder ( M5i Limited ) 17 May '16

17 May '16

Hi all, We've recently added the DPKG agent to some of our Debian hosts so that we can keep on top of what's up-to-date and what isn't. So far it's been quite helpful, except I have one small niggle with it, the way that it lists the version orders of the packages. See below: The nginx version on the above are listed in the order of: 1.8.0 1.8.1 1.9.11 1.9.12 1.9.14 1.9.15 1.9.5 1.9.9 Where if they were listed in version order they would be listed: 1.8.0 1.8.1 1.9.5 1.9.9 1.9.11 1.9.12 1.9.14 1.9.15 Is there anyway that this can be worked around, or is there any plan to implement a fix? Thanks, Alex.

Thank you all for the replies and screenshots; they have been most helpful. I have one more question regarding the custom OID monitor, has anyone used this to capture BPDU counters?

Hi guys, I think something got broken in polling of ESXI servers… not sure where exactly, but on or about 4 May, the “Operating System” section changed from the full build information to “Operating system VMware (build-)”. In “showtech” it looks like it’s this line: features=>build- Or am I smoking a green leafy substance? ….Ron -- This message has been scanned by E.F.A. Project and is believed to be clean.

Alert on high availability status change on Checkpoint
by Robin Cook 13 May '16

13 May '16

Hello, We have a few checkpoint firewalls and I am looking to generate email alerts when the HA status changes from OK to critical. The Observium logs look a bit like this when it occurs: 2016-05-12 16:58:30 High Availability (standby) Status Alert: cpnew02 High Availability (standby) entered ALERT state: CRITICAL (previous: OK) 2016-05-12 16:58:28 cpfw04 Features -> ClusterXL inactive or machine is down 2016-05-11 10:30:04 High Availability (standby) Status updated: checkpoint-ha-state haStatCode.0 High Availability (standby) 2016-05-11 10:28:03 High Availability (standby) Status Ok: cpnew02 High Availability (down) entered OK state: OK (previous: CRITICAL) Does anyone have any advice on how to build the alert checker for this? The high Availability icon looks to be a traffic lights one while the devices themselves show as the normal device icon - so I think they may be discovered as separate entities. I am also a bit unsure on how to filter to the OS "Check Point GAiA R77.45 (standby)" so for now have just been using device type firewall.

13 May '16

Hi, Does anyone know how to unhide the "showtech" tab for all the devices? For example, go to somewhere like; https://observium/device/device=17/tab=ports/ And change the "ports" for "showtech". http://observium/device/device=<device_id>/tab=showtech/ This page is useful, and would be nice to have the button on the device page instead of having to remember a URL hack, when debugging missing data or problems monitoring devices etc (esp when using rancid and smokeping like we do). Hoping their is a secret config.php switch :) Thanks, Andy.

Hi, Thanks for all your answers. However I didn’t get it to work. [cid:image001.png@01D1AC9A.71C211A0] [cid:image002.png@01D1AC9A.71C211A0] It doesn’t seem to pick it up. Otherwise I would expect it to be in the Matching Entities. When I replace the entity match to * it does get pickup in the alert, but then the alert is useless for me: [cid:image003.png@01D1AC9A.71C211A0] But from the earlier sent attachment you see that Storage_type hrStorageFixedDisk is being returned.

Hi Adam, I found the issue after looking up the source code: mysql> SELECT * FROM `entity_permissions` WHERE `entity_type` = 'bill' GROUP BY `user_id` ORDER BY `user_id` ; +---------+---------+-------------+-----------+--------------+ | perm_id | user_id | entity_type | entity_id | access_level | +---------+---------+-------------+-----------+--------------+ | 1 | 2 | bill | 0 | 0 | …… Strange enough the first record pointed to user_id 2 and this user isn’t in de user table.

Disk size alert Windows
by Epco Dijk 12 May '16

12 May '16

Hi all, I really struggle to get a proper alert on a Windows C: drive size. Checker is as follows (can also be found in attachment): Storage_perc greater 50 Hostname match ampere* Entity * Only if I fill it in as above at least the checker is added. As soon as I change entity to storage_type equals hrStorageFixedDisk like written in manuals it doesn't even add the check after the rebuild option. I have run ./poller.php -h ampere.companyname.pvt -dd with attached result. As you can see the C:\ drive is filled more than 50% so I would expect an alert. Who can help me with this?

Observium and Slack
by Andy Lemin 12 May '16

12 May '16

Hi guys, Has anyone gotten Slack Alert notifications working? We have email alerts working but not Slack. NB; Running the commercial version (0.16.2.7629). We have a webhook URL for a private slack channel https://hooks.slack.com/services/xxxxxxxxx/yyyyyyyy/zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (x, y and z replaced for public viewing) I tried the custom webhook "Contact", however we don't know how to transpose our slack webhook into the fields provided (URL, Authentication token, Sender of message). There is no Authentication, and their is no Sender (the sender is defined by the webhook on the Slack side). But only filling in the URL field with the webhook doesn't work :( Doing a "curl" test on the Observium server terminal with the webhook works fine? Have also tried creating the new slack "Contact", But I have no idea how I'm supposed to transpose this webhook into the fields provided; (Channel name, Username, Instance URL). Assume this only works for public channels where you enter in user details for Observium instead of using a webhook. Generally not sure how to debug this. Noobie.. Thanks, Andy.

Hi Adam, Is there a way to debug it? If I enter a word in the Billing Name nothing is found but I am sure that there are records matching the search string. Also the User dropdown box contains an empty record, could this be the problem because the ‘All Types’ first match is "All Types". See attached snippets.

Hi Adam and team, Any chances to add support to Ceragon / SIAE / Huawei microwave radios? Jira tickets #1532, #1533 and #1535. Our concern is about monitoring sensors, like input voltage and modulation. Thank you. -- Eduardo Schoedler

Hello All, I am getting filesystem info in Solaris version 5.11 but not in 5.10. Is there a way to gain this info in Observium, or is it only supported in Solaris 5.11? I get memory, proc and network fine but no filesystem info. Thanks, ----------------------- Leo Dano

syslog stops working
by John Klasa 11 May '16

11 May '16

Hi, we have syslog-ng configured and went through the documentation about how to get syslog into Observium. It works for a while(from 10mins to several hours) and then it stops to display or handle syslog. Restarting the syslog daemon generates a strange message in the logs. -0001-11-30 00:00:00 Alert (1) 1 : 1 It's very low volume. Maybe 100-1000 messages per day. We have tried rsyslog (default in RedHat) Version Information Observium 0.16.5.7833 (6th May 2016) OS Linux 2.6.32-431.29.2.el6.x86_64 [amd64] (RedHat 6.7) Apache 2.2.15 (Red Hat) PHP 5.6.21 Python 2.6.6 MySQL 5.1.73 (extension: mysqli 5.1.73) SNMP NET-SNMP 5.5 RRDtool 1.4.8 __________________________________________________ Regards John Klasa Managed Services, Itiviti John.Klasa(a)itiviti.com Kungsgatan 36 , P.O.

Re: [Observium] Could not resolve
by Claudionei Mendes 10 May '16

Your thoughts for Big Company and Big ISPs are small. Nobody wants to add thirty thousand devices in a hostname list, or with an nonsense script. They will choose a system that will be allowed to add devices by a subnet or network. That it means IP Address. Not hostname. We are not talking about servers hostnames, that are static, and won't change, even if the room is burned and the building is down. We are not talking about a BGP Router, or a Main router, that are always and forever there, if possible. We are talking about thousand of devices that are changing, at least, once a day. Ron, An DNS fail, doesn't mean I have one DNS server. With all your expertise, you should see other possibilities, other scenarios. Come on. It simply doesn't make sense to have a system that allow you to add a Device by IP address when it wants and later, it's not possible anymore. But you can try tomorrow, because tomorrow the system will accept the IP address. This is a bug for me. Joseph, The system works with IP Address. Whats is the diference to have an option to add devices by IP Address? Not even an option, because it already works, but just sometimes, if you are lucky. Another point, Sure I can make a script, but we are not talking about an expert user to be using the system. Can't this scenario be thought? We have "normal" people operating the system too. How do you think they will reach the Knowledge for this? They not even have access to the system console. You are closing your mind to main possibilities. I am talking about adding 3000 devices in a system, where these devices, does not need a hostname, it simply needs an IP address for eventual access. Because if we have a hostname like juliocesar.company.com, tomorrow, this device will be deactivated and activated for another customer with another name but the same IP address, and it's an infinite routine, because customers are not eternal, and IP addresses are not infinite. Can you imagine an system where we need advanced user only to use? Do you think Microsoft and Apple would be where they are with a software where only advanced user are able to use? Adam, What is an important device to you? Do you think that a customer side device isn't important to be monitored? How many devices have you ever seen in a network? Have you worked in an ISP? Do you have an Idea of what is to manage device hostnames for, until now, 7 cities?

Observium: Full Page World Map
by Nate Mellendorf 10 May '16

10 May '16

Observium team, I was playing around with this myself, but my understanding of PHP is quite limited. I hacked something together myself but it doesn't scale well. Would be possible to add a feature to view the Observium world map in full screen mode? I understand that one could easily argue how this feature wouldn't bring much benefit. They wouldn't be wrong. That said, it would still be a nice to have Observium hanging in the NOC on a TV with a full screen map. I think that's originally what you were going for by having a map on the main landing page. I'm just thinking one step further. Just a suggestion. (Please feel free to tell me if I'm just doing it wrong~) Thank you.

Frontpage: Eventlog filter
by Wiethoff, Helge 10 May '16

10 May '16

Hi everyone, right now it is possible to filter syslog messages on the frontpage with a statement in config.php: $config['frontpage']['syslog']['priority'] = array('emerg','alert'); // for example I think it would be nice to have something similar for the eventlog. For example to filter interfaces going up/down and interface-throughput: $config['frontpage']['eventlog']['filter'] = array('ifSpeed','ifOperStatus'); Maybe this feature is already implemented and i am not able to find it?! Thanks for reading :-) Version: Observium Professional 0.16.5.7838 Cheers, Helge

Re: [Observium] observium Digest, Vol 70, Issue 45
by Claudionei Mendes 09 May '16

Joseph, The customer premisses equipment (CPE) are managed and accessed internally for monitoring and maintenance of customer internet connection. Customers are not eternal. Can you imagine to a system administrator expends all the day adding hostnames in a DNS Server for at least 10 CPE per day that can be changed 2 days after or a weekend after? Or even adding hostnames in the /etc/hosts for five devices that will be removed after 6 hours? We have system that only needs a screw to be adjusted, and people with the screwdriver in the hand. Are you asking me to search for a screwdriver and reach the screw to be adjusted? All the service providers I know, does not control CPE units with hostnames. They use hostnames for servers, main routers, main switches, and other devices that are usually in the Data Center.

stop the madness re: dns

to save the list the continuing pain, I think I can sum up: "if you're not using DNS properly, then YOU are doing it wrong" (and, quite frankly, we don't want to hear about it anymore) R. > On May 9, 2016, at 11:51 PM, Claudio wrote: > {blather}

Discard out error rate check
by Laszlo Nemeth 09 May '16

09 May '16

Hello, On the 7793 we try to create a check that alert if the interface discards TX errors on our Nexus switch more than 0 per sec. This error is real, we see it on Observium graphs (Device->Port->Error->Discards TX ) and on the switch’s CLI too. We created this check but looks like it doesn’t work: ifOutDiscards_rate notequals 0 We tried it with “gt 1” instead of "notequals 0” without result. :( In an another check the ”ifInErrors_rate” is working, but the ifOutDiscards_rate not. Picture is attached. What we did wrong? BR Laszlo

Cannot add Device by IP Address but can by hostname
by Ivan Jukic 09 May '16

09 May '16

Hi All, I have many devices in our network that do no have hostnames and nor do I want to maintain DNS records for devices that do as this will be a nightmare to managed. Is there a way I can simply add a whole subnet range to Observium without using hostname? Cheers, Ivan

Re: [Observium] Could not resolve
by Claudionei Mendes 09 May '16

Hello Everybody, I would like to give an example, and I want, mainly the developers of observium to think well on this situation. We often serve temporary events arround, and we need to add this devices for monitoring in somewhere. Now imagine, every weekend, add to host files, IP address to temporary devices. Ok, use always the same IP. Right. In one event we use 5 devices, in another 8. And what if we have 2 or more events at the same time? What if my DNS server, that is a monitored server as well fails? All my monitoring will stop? IP address is faster and more reliable than Hostnames. I would like you to think about adding devices just by hostname. We have 3000 devices on the network that we would like to add. But none of them need registered hostname. For this we have SNMP. They are end devices. They need to be monitored to order history and reports, but do not need DNS Names. Important devices have the hostname on the DNS, but any monitoring services we used before, we added the devices by hostname. IP is faster.

That's the problem. It's not once. It's not one time in life. It's not advanced users that only uses the system. Can you think on this scenario? Who uses the information, and who uses the system? Is it necessary to be an system administrator or a network Engineering to uses the system? Or my Help Desk team will be able to add an CPE for monitoring too? You are developing a system for big ISP and big companys, but thinking small.
