Alert Dependencies
by Spencer Ryan 21 May '16

21 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. Here is the RRD Command for a failing one; root@intermap:/opt/observium/rrd/ar1406.live.brandwatch.net# /usr/bin/rrdtool graph /tmp/11MUfpl7O7LSQtoX.png -g -Y --lower-limit 0 --alt-autoscale-max --start 1463587788 --end 1463674188 --width 1152 --height 300 -c BACK#EEEEEE00 -c SHADEA#EEEEEE00 -c SHADEB#EEEEEE00 -c FONT#000000 -c CANVAS#FFFFFF00 -c GRID#a5a5a5 -c MGRID#FF9999 -c FRAME#5e5e5e -c ARROW#5e5e5e -R normal --font LEGEND:8:'DroidSansMono,DejaVuSansMono' --font AXIS:7:'DroidSansMono,DejaVuSansMono' --font-render-mode normal -E COMMENT:' Now Min Max Avg' COMMENT:'\l' CDEF:total= HRULE:0#555555 ERROR: String ends after the = sign on 'CDEF:total=' Here is the RRD Command for a Linux device which works; root@intermap:/opt/observium/rrd/ar1406.live.brandwatch.net# /usr/bin/rrdtool graph /tmp/vskuqlACvSuyBGUW.png -g -Y --lower-limit 0 --alt-autoscale-max --start 1463587973 --end 1463674373 --width 1152 --height 300 -c BACK#EEEEEE00 -c SHADEA#EEEEEE00 -c SHADEB#EEEEEE00 -c FONT#000000 -c CANVAS#FFFFFF00 -c GRID#a5a5a5 -c MGRID#FF9999 -c FRAME#5e5e5e -c ARROW#5e5e5e -R normal --font LEGEND:8:'DroidSansMono,DejaVuSansMono' --font AXIS:7:'DroidSansMono,DejaVuSansMono' --font-render-mode normal -E COMMENT:' Now Min Max Avg' COMMENT:'\l' DEF:ssCpuRawUser=/opt/observium/rrd/ ar1406.live.brandwatch.net/ucd_ssCpuRawUser.rrd:value:AVERAGE DEF:ssCpuRawNice=/opt/observium/rrd/ ar1406.live.brandwatch.net/ucd_ssCpuRawNice.rrd:value:AVERAGE DEF:ssCpuRawSystem=/opt/observium/rrd/ ar1406.live.brandwatch.net/ucd_ssCpuRawSystem.rrd:value:AVERAGE DEF:ssCpuRawWait=/opt/observium/rrd/ ar1406.live.brandwatch.net/ucd_ssCpuRawWait.rrd:value:AVERAGE DEF:ssCpuRawInterrupt=/opt/observium/rrd/ ar1406.live.brandwatch.net/ucd_ssCpuRawInterrupt.rrd:value:AVERAGE DEF:ssCpuRawSoftIRQ=/opt/observium/rrd/ ar1406.live.brandwatch.net/ucd_ssCpuRawSoftIRQ.rrd:value:AVERAGE DEF:ssCpuRawKernel=/opt/observium/rrd/ ar1406.live.brandwatch.net/ucd_ssCpuRawKernel.rrd:value:AVERAGE DEF:ssCpuRawIdle=/opt/observium/rrd/ ar1406.live.brandwatch.net/ucd_ssCpuRawIdle.rrd:value:AVERAGE CDEF:total=ssCpuRawUser,UN,0,ssCpuRawUser,IF,ssCpuRawNice,UN,0,ssCpuRawNice,IF,ssCpuRawSystem,UN,0,ssCpuRawSystem,IF,ssCpuRawWait,UN,0,ssCpuRawWait,IF,ssCpuRawInterrupt,UN,0,ssCpuRawInterrupt,IF,ssCpuRawSoftIRQ,UN,0,ssCpuRawSoftIRQ,IF,ssCpuRawKernel,UN,0,ssCpuRawKernel,IF,ssCpuRawIdle,UN,0,ssCpuRawIdle,IF,+,+,+,+,+,+,+ CDEF:ssCpuRawUser_perc=ssCpuRawUser,total,/,100,* CDEF:ssCpuRawNice_perc=ssCpuRawNice,total,/,100,* CDEF:ssCpuRawSystem_perc=ssCpuRawSystem,total,/,100,* CDEF:ssCpuRawWait_perc=ssCpuRawWait,total,/,100,* CDEF:ssCpuRawInterrupt_perc=ssCpuRawInterrupt,total,/,100,* CDEF:ssCpuRawSoftIRQ_perc=ssCpuRawSoftIRQ,total,/,100,* CDEF:ssCpuRawKernel_perc=ssCpuRawKernel,total,/,100,* CDEF:ssCpuRawIdle_perc=ssCpuRawIdle,total,/,100,* HRULE:0#555555 AREA:ssCpuRawUser_perc#c02020:'User ' GPRINT:ssCpuRawUser_perc:LAST:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawUser_perc:MIN:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawUser_perc:MAX:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawUser_perc:AVERAGE:%5.1lf%%\n AREA:ssCpuRawNice_perc#008f00:'Nice ':STACK GPRINT:ssCpuRawNice_perc:LAST:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawNice_perc:MIN:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawNice_perc:MAX:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawNice_perc:AVERAGE:%5.1lf%%\n AREA:ssCpuRawSystem_perc#ea8f00:'System ':STACK GPRINT:ssCpuRawSystem_perc:LAST:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawSystem_perc:MIN:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawSystem_perc:MAX:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawSystem_perc:AVERAGE:%5.1lf%%\n AREA:ssCpuRawWait_perc#1f78b4:'Wait ':STACK GPRINT:ssCpuRawWait_perc:LAST:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawWait_perc:MIN:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawWait_perc:MAX:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawWait_perc:AVERAGE:%5.1lf%%\n AREA:ssCpuRawInterrupt_perc#a6cee3:'Interrupt ':STACK GPRINT:ssCpuRawInterrupt_perc:LAST:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawInterrupt_perc:MIN:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawInterrupt_perc:MAX:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawInterrupt_perc:AVERAGE:%5.1lf%%\n AREA:ssCpuRawSoftIRQ_perc#b2df8a:'SoftIRQ ':STACK GPRINT:ssCpuRawSoftIRQ_perc:LAST:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawSoftIRQ_perc:MIN:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawSoftIRQ_perc:MAX:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawSoftIRQ_perc:AVERAGE:%5.1lf%%\n AREA:ssCpuRawKernel_perc#fb9a99:'Kernel ':STACK GPRINT:ssCpuRawKernel_perc:LAST:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawKernel_perc:MIN:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawKernel_perc:MAX:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawKernel_perc:AVERAGE:%5.1lf%%\n AREA:ssCpuRawIdle_perc#f5f5e5:'Idle ':STACK GPRINT:ssCpuRawIdle_perc:LAST:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawIdle_perc:MIN:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawIdle_perc:MAX:%5.1lf%% GPRINT:ssCpuRawIdle_perc:AVERAGE:%5.1lf%%\n 1233x339 Failing OpenBSD Example; Working Linux Example; Thank you very much for your time, and a great system.

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.

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.

Unhide the hidden showtech tab
by Andy Lemin 13 May '16

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

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.

However it is still not working :( I created an "Incoming Webhook" on the Slack site for our company, which injects messages to the "Private" channel "networks-private", with the username Network-Alerts. If I test the webhook with 'Curl' (as image below) it works fine and the test message appears in Slack (and on my mobile ;) But as you can see in my test below, I setup the contact the same as you, added an Alert checker, and then triggered some alerts. But none of them came through? Observium; Command line test; Slack App; Really want to get this working with Observium as a method of notifying network alerts to my mobile.

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.

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 10 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.

Discard out error rate check
by Laszlo Nemeth 10 May '16

10 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 10 May '16

10 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

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.

I don't think it's my personal option. It's a use case that many Service Providers as us, have. You have two Scenarios that are not that simple as it looks. We have important devices. Ok. We need host names, but and for temporary devices, as an CPE. Can you imagine the work you are giving to us? Or to any ISP that cares about the customer? It's impossible that only us, as ISP serve temporary events. Don't you think? In my opinion, and it's not hard to implement, you should think in this scenarios. It won't cost nothing to have both options, IP and Host name. Every monitoring system you search, won't have this limitation. Adam. It's not my problem. It's what you said. It's a different scenario that is not implemented in the system. Can't you see how many people are complaining about this issue? Observium is a great software as I could see until now. Congratulations, But, please, think about this situation. In three days there are three people having this difficult. How many people, do you think, simply have given up thinking it's a bug on the software, just because, sometimes it add devices by IP and sometimes it cannot solve the host name? Many customers do not complain, they simply turn around and go away. Does that complain, it's because really like your work, and wants it better.

Report of traffic data
by Danny op de Dijk 09 May '16

09 May '16

Dear readers, Using Observium quite some time now. And am wondering if the following is possible, I'm asking because after a couple of days of searching for it, I can't find it anywhere. What I would like to have or maybe to be able to execute on Observium is a way so I can view what the incoming and outgoing traffic is for an given month. I am able to view it (and even see the bill options) but not to export it or see the absolute values. (for example 13,33 Gb out 21,65 Gb in) Better Example. For customer X, I want to see what his traffic was for box x from April 1 to April 30. And off course this is with Incoming and outgoing values. If there is already a way to view this data in an easy way and I've missed it. Then sorry for this pointless mail. Regards, Danny op de Dijk

Cron Causing Kayako System Logout and Unable to run Observium Cron simultaneously
by Idzma Zakaria 09 May '16

Hi All, I having a problem related to Cron Job where if I started my cron job,my kayako will logout me from the system and if I stop the cron job I unable to pulled data for Observium. I had followed Observium on how to set the cron for it to pulled the data as shown inside the Observium page but still the cron will impact Kayako.Every time I started the cron job it will clash as Kayako also running php as well. How I can I separate the cron job so that it pulled the data and not harming my Kayako system? -- Kind regards, Idzma Zakaria, ICT Senior Executive ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Australian International School Malaysia (AISM) No.22 Jalan Anggerik, The Mines Resort City, 43300 Seri Kembangan, Selangor, Malaysia. *T:* +60 3 8949 5000 *F*: +60 3 8949 5100 *E*: idzmaz(a)aism.edu.my *W*: http://www.aism.edu.my/ *Direct Line*: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <https://www.facebook.com/aismalaysia> <https://www.facebook.com/aismalaysia> <https://www.facebook.com/aismalaysia> <http://www.youtube.com/user/AISMvideos> <http://www.youtube.com/user/AISMvideos> <http://www.youtube.com/user/AISMvideos> <https://twitter.com/AISMalaysia/> <https://twitter.com/AISMalaysia/> <https://twitter.com/AISMalaysia/> <http://www.aism.edu.my/virtualtour> <http://www.aism.edu.my/virtualtour> <http://www.aism.edu.my/virtualtour> -- *Confidentiality Disclaimer:* This e-mail and any attachments are confidential and intended solely for the intended addressee and may also be privileged or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.

Re: [Observium] Cannot add Device by IP Address but can by hostname

Actually, the hostname requirement actually finally "inspired" me to get my sh*t together and get a good DNS system running for internal devices, and now everyone else around the office is much happier, they're not having to dog around and do "manual" resolution by asking "what the heck is that IP address again?"

Monitor and bill for VM's in VMWare
by Anthony Polselli 08 May '16

08 May '16

Hi all, Been using Observium for a while and love it. We just added a couple of our ESXI 5.1 servers to Observium in the hopes of being able to monitor bandwidth usage on individual VM's and bill against it. It polled the physical NIC's but not the virtual ones. We do have multiple VLAN's too if this makes a difference. Any way to do this?

Re: [Observium] observium Digest, Vol 70, Issue 23
by Claudionei Mendes 06 May '16

06 May '16

Hello, I am trying to add some new devices to monitoring, but I am receiving the error Could not resolve 10.251.15.182 I have added the devices with IP 10.251.15.181, 10.251.15.183, But devices 10.251.15.182 and 10.251.15.184 presents the Resolve Error. As you can see, it's an IP address. Pinging from the console is possible, as the traceroute leads to the same path. The reverse path works. Searching I found the way to add by command line. It was possible to add the two devices, 10.251.15.182 and 10.251.15.184. Ok. But now, when I try to add other devices on the same network, the error "Could no resolve 10.251.15.xxx" persists. The server is on the same network. 10.251.15.22 Aparently it's a kind of bug with the interface, that is trying to resolve with the DNS an IP address. This other case, I am not sure, but in a moment, it aparentely to try to add a device, but not sure what message it gives, but it was related to snmp comunity, I guess, and in a second try,it presents the Can not resolve, error. This case I don't have much details. It only happened one time.

Observium - Custom OID view for Global Read ONLY users ?
by Bradley, Jim 05 May '16

05 May '16

Hi All, Is there a way to share live/active charts for custom OID’s with Global Read Only view users ? I want my User Support team to be able to see a live chart of the Cisco Any connect users I’ve got a Custom OID for; it is a single chart covering all gateway devices specifically for SSL VPN/AnyConnect type connections, it lets us see the distribution of connections across gateways. I can give them a static chart easily enough, but apparently not one that can be updated or updates itself. Any ideas ? Many thanks. [cid:FE21DD9D-C7F4-4C33-AF27-8DC09732712E] -- Jim Bradley

Email Alerts from Observium
by Murali Krishna Kanagala 05 May '16

05 May '16

Hello Everyone, I have been using Observium to monitor a variety of network devices and VMWare ESXi hosts. Observium is doing a great job in gathering all the data from these devices and it is really helpful. I am trying to setup some alerts for disk, cpu and network utilizations but not receiving any emails. Here are some more details.Version: Observium CE 0.16.1.7533 1) I have modified below lines with right email address.// set up alerts $config['alerts']['email']['default'] = "mail(a)example.com"; ## Default alert recipient$config['alerts']['email']['default_only'] = true; ## Only use default recipient$config['alerts']['email']['enable'] = true; ## Disable email alerts as we do not use observium for monitoring but only for metering$config['uptime_warning'] = "86400"; ## Time in seconds to display a "Device Rebooted" warning, defualts to 1 day. Set to 0 to disable warnings.$config['alerts']['port']['ifdown'] = false; ## Generate an alert for ports which enter the ifdown state. 2) Tried sending test mail using ./test_alert.php./test_alert.php -a "some text" 3) Logged in to Web UI, under global settings set all buttons to default under "Use DB" 4) Setup some tests and to trigger alerts and looks like it tried to send some alerts, seeing a time entry under Alerted column. 5) Checked observium log(logs/observium.log) and system logs to see if there were any attempts to send out an email. No entries were found. 6) Observium server is able to send out emails, i have tested it using mailx and sendmail commands, it uses postfix configuration. I am not able to find where the issue is. Can someone help me with this? Thank you,Murali Kanagala412 482 2244

Security Issue with old script

Hi Guys, There's an authenticated remote execution issue with an old unused script, netcmd.php. You should either SVN up to have it automatically removed (we've not used it for a long time, but no one removed it!), or you can manually remove it if you're running CE. Thanks, adam.

Poller Overruns
by Gagandeep Mann 03 May '16

03 May '16

Hi We are currently running OBSERVIUM Professional Ed with 31 Cisco 7600/3560/2960 polling around 5000+ ports. The Traffic graphs are showing gaps as the poller seems to be taking a lot of time. We have tried different values for the poller wrapper threads (16, 32, 48, 64) on a 16 core/64GB RAM machine but not seen any improvement. We have also tried different values for the 'ma-rep' field for snmp bulkwalk (5, 10 etc) - had seen improvement initially after enabling with 5, but the polling times seem to have increased automatically after some time. We are currently running with 64 Poller threads and max-rep 10. Pls suggest if we are missing something. A few screen-shots are attached.

Images below: This is on all devices on all port graphs, as far as I can see anyway... Including on our test installation polling some lab devices, on a different VM. Help please?

Help with LDAP Authentication
by Ximena Cardinali 26 Apr '16

26 Apr '16

Hello all, We're trying to move our Observium Installation from Radius Authentication to LDAP Authentication. We get an answer from Observium to our LDAP Server, but sadly we can't login in Observium. Here are the LDAP values in our config.php: $config['auth_mechanism'] = "ldap"; $config['auth_ldap_version'] = 3; // LDAP client version (2 or 3) $config['auth_ldap_referrals'] = 0; // Follow LDAP referrals $config['auth_ldap_server'] = "ourserver.de"; // LDAP server name, or array of LDAP server names tried in order. $config['auth_ldap_port'] = 389; // LDAP server port $config['auth_ldap_starttls'] = 'no'; // Use STARTTLS ('no', 'optional' or 'require') $config['auth_ldap_recursive'] = TRUE; // Active Directory recursive lookup for nested groups $config['auth_ldap_recursive_maxdepth'] = 5; // Max depth for recursive lookup $config['auth_ldap_prefix'] = "uid="; $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",ou=users,dc=ourdc"; $config['auth_ldap_group'] = array("cn=ldapWeb,ou=group,dc=ourdc"); $config['auth_ldap_groupbase'] = "ou=groups,dc=ourdc"; $config['auth_ldap_binddn'] = "uid=webadmin,ou=users,dc=ourdc"; // Initial LDAP bind dn and password, leave empty for anonymous bind $config['auth_ldap_bindpw'] = "ourpassword"; $config['auth_ldap_bindanonymous'] = FALSE; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['uid'] = "uid"; // LDAP attribute containing the user login name $config['auth_ldap_attr']['uidNumber'] = "uidNumber"; // LDAP attribute containing the numeric user ID $config['auth_ldap_attr']['cn'] = "cn"; // LDAP attribute containing the user's full name $config['auth_ldap_attr']['dn'] = "dn"; // LDAP attribute containing the user's DN $config['auth_ldap_objectclass'] = "posixAccount"; // objectClass to filter out valid users, use * for all objects under ldap_suffix tree $config['auth_ldap_groupmembertype'] = "nodn"; // Available membertypes: 'nodn' (default, uses $username); // 'fulldn' ($config['auth_ldap_prefix'] . $username . $config['auth_ldap_suffix']) $config['auth_ldap_groupmemberattr'] = "memberUid"; // Use your unique attribute for username, example "uniqueMember". Can someone tell us what are we doing wrong here? Is there any way to activate a ldap debug in Observium? I'll appreciate your help. Regards, Ximena. --- *Ximena E. Cardinali *| Linux SysAdmin

Hi all. After upgrading Observium to the latest CE, the frontpage show 0 ports Total/Up/Down: [image: Inline image 1] I have all ports set with polling = yes and alert = no. Any reason Total/Up/down is no longer showing anything else than 0? Any ideas on how to fix it? -- Gard -- No trees were killed in the sending of this message.

mounting a new filesystem
by Ross [Eve IT] 23 Apr '16

23 Apr '16

Hi all, Apologies if this has been asked before, or I've missed it in the list; I recently added a new drive to a server, and mounted the new drive to a directory. Edited output. root@tethys:~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on rootfs 85G 2.4G 79G 3% / /dev/sdb1 148G 2.8G 138G 2% /netflow As you can see in the screenshot below, it shows the root directory ~2.5GB, but not the /netflow dir which is at 2.8GB. [image: Inline image 1] Am I missing something here ? I assume I should be seeing 2 lines, 1 for / and 1 for /netflow as they are different disks. Or if this graph is supposed to represent / in total, it should be over 5GB.. Thanks for your time :) Ross.

Alert Conditions - Check Conditions
by Dave Strydom 23 Apr '16

23 Apr '16

Hi, I'm trying to setup an Alert for monitoring Fortigate Sessions. For testing I have a Check Condition of "fortigate_sessions gt 100" The issue I am finding is that the check is matching again percentage and not value. The fortigate has 200 sessions currently, so it should trigger the alert, but it doesn't because it seems to be monitoring percentage and the percentage is constantly 100% How do I check against the value of 200 instead of percentage? Regards, Dave

Hi, After the last observium update, I started to see the following bug : - Manually entered location on devices is automaticaly replaced by it’s snmp value after the daily « /opt/observium/housekeeping.php -ya » trigered by cron. Here some log of a device : 2016-04-20 20:36:59 mgt-ac038.artecad.local Geolocation (GOOGLE) -> [33.697950, -111.986414] United States (Country), Arizona (State), Maricopa (County), Phoenix (City) 2016-04-20 20:36:59 mgt-ac038.artecad.local Location -> 'Expeditions' 2016-04-20 15:49:35 Port 1 Interface changed: [ifSpeed] '1000000000' -> '10000000'; [ifHighSpeed] '1000' -> '10'; [ifLastChange] '2016-04-20 06:57:47' -> '2016-04-20 15:49:33' 2016-04-20 08:27:17 mgt-ac038.artecad.local Geolocation (GOOGLE) -> [47.223503, 7.102975] Switzerland (Country), Canton of Bern (State), Courtelary (County), Tramelan (City) 2016-04-20 08:27:17 mgt-ac038.artecad.local Location -> 'Artecad SA, 2720 Tramelan' For the test, I forced again today the location and executed a housekeeping in a short time after : 2016-04-21 14:42:33 mgt-ac038.artecad.local Geolocation (GOOGLE) -> [33.697950, -111.986414] United States (Country), Arizona (State), Maricopa (County), Phoenix (City) 2016-04-21 14:42:32 mgt-ac038.artecad.local Location -> 'Expeditions' 2016-04-21 13:58:41 mgt-ac038.artecad.local Geolocation (GOOGLE) -> [40.139723, -111.405206] United States (Country), Utah (State), Utah (County), Springville (City) 2016-04-21 13:58:40 mgt-ac038.artecad.local Location -> 'test1' This is a new behaviour since the last update.

libvirt config
by Jesper Frank Nemholt 21 Apr '16

Hi! I get this error when enabling libvirt. This is on a CentOS 7 with Qemu : ##### *Module Start: **virtual-machines* ##### Virtual machines: Libvirt VM: Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password). Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password). I have configured the following in config.php : $config['enable_libvirt'] = 1; # Enable Libvirt VM support $config['libvirt_protocols'] = array("qemu+ssh","xen+ssh"); # Mechanisms used, add or remove if not using this on any of your machines. What else is needed ? I assume either username/password or key based access, but does this have to be set for the user running the observium poller/discovery or elsewhere ? /Jesper

http-auth issue . [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

I created a dev instance (CE: 0.16.1.7533 ) to investigate the wmi / win2k8 unknown processor issue. This correctly shows the processor but doesn't auto login with " AuthBasicFake guest guest" in the apache conf like the production one does. to setup : cp config.php.default config.php sed -i -e s:USERNAME:observium: -e s:PASSWORD:xxxxx: -e 's:"public":"xxxxxxxxx", "public":' config.php (added fping location and proxy info to config.php) ./discovery.php -u ./adduser.php admin xxxx 10 ./adduser.php guest guest 5 ./add_device.php $HOSTNAME going to https://observium.dev.gov.au, i can login as either guest or admin and see everything correctly. I added "AuthBasicFake guest guest" to the apache config and restarted apache. but it won't login automagically. I edited html/index.php and added the following at line 97 print_vars($_SERVER); this shows me that "AuthBasicFake" is working PHP_AUTH_USER=>guest PHP_AUTH_PW=>guest is there a step that i missed ??? thanks Peter Hine Senior Technical Support Engineer (Servers) FCoA ITS peter.hine(a)familycourt.gov.au ********************************************************************** The information contained in this e-mail (including any attachments) is for the exclusive use of the addressee.

problem with overall traffic view
by emilio brambilla 20 Apr '16

20 Apr '16

hello, I found a little problem (maybe not a bug, but I think is not so good). if I use "overall_traffic" aggregation (ie for peering) observium make a graph with stacking the traffic from all the ports with a description starting with a label (ie "peering:"), and it works ok. but if I modify a port (ie dismiss a peering, removing also the "peering:" label from the router interface) observium remove all the pregress traffic the old interface did from the 'peering' graph, so you lose part of the old stats :-( isn't it possible to have the overall_traffic collected in a dedicated rrd, use the sum of labelled interfaces for new data and use the rrd data for the old data in order to have a real historic data even if I change a port? thanks -- bye, emilio

Hi All! I'm fairly new with the alerts, so don't hit me too hard. :) I'm trying to create an alert checker for some printers, it should send an alert when the toner level is below 5%. The associations seem OK, at least my Device Match rule "|type equals printer|" (with an "*" entity match) yields all the printers in Observium. But the condition rule seems suspect to me. Based on the documentation and the examples I wrote: |"supply_value lt 5%" |but it shows everything OK on all printers, despite of having at least 3 printers with 1% toner cartridge. Could you help me, what am I doing wrong, or what's missing? Btw: I'm using the latest CE version. Should I include some more information? Regards, Tylla

Customizing Recent Events
by Sandor Kocsis 18 Apr '16

18 Apr '16

Dear all, I’d like to put a filter on “Recent Events” section of the dashboard, but I could not find any information regarding that. Now the section is too chatty, for example I see lots of these messages: Et140/1/48 Interface changed: [ifDuplex] '' -> ‘unknown’ or Et141/1/39 Interface changed: [ifDuplex] '' -> 'fullDuplex' But what I’d like to see is when an interface goes up and down, and hide not important messages if possible.

Hi , I see ZHONE directory in /opt/observium/mibs/zhone. I added Zhone MKX to Observium but it seems that Observium did not recognize the OS type.

Re: [Observium] Unix-Agent Not Working

Hi Ron Thanks for the reply however the - was meant to be the _ (was going by memory when i wrote yhe email) and went through those instructions a number of times. When I tried to execute ./bind locally all but blank... Telnetung the server on the port returns alot of data however I could not see anything bind related however not 100% on what it'd going to display. Sent from my Samsung GALAXY S4 on the Telstra mobile network -------- Original message -------- From: Ron Marosko <ron(a)rjr-services.com> Date: 15/04/2016 9:04 pm (GMT+10:00) To: 'Observium Network Observation System' <observium(a)observium.org> Subject: Re: [Observium] Unix-Agent Not Working You should have been following the instructions located here: http://observium.org/docs/unix_agent/ Those are the instructions I follow, and have the unix agent working quite wonderfully. Based on what you described, “placing the Observium-agent and bind application in /usr/lib/Observium-agent/local” it would seem you didn’t follow the correct installation document, as “observium_agent” is to be installed in /usr/bin. You also don’t indicate whether you did the appropriate components with xinetd, that would similarly cause issues. Finally, inside the device properties on your observium server, you need to indicate the telnet port (36602) on the appropriate agent page, as well as enable the unix_agent function on the modules page. It’s really a much better idea to enable that only on a device-by-device basis as opposed to global enablement in the config.php file. Also, it’s worth changing directly to the /usr/lib/observium_agent/local directory and executing each script manually, this will determine if all the dependencies for each script are actually installed. For example, I use the ntpd monitoring script on my servers, and I don’t always have php installed on every server… so when I run the ./ntpd script, it kicks out an error that php isn’t installed. Duh, “apt-get php5-cli”, then I run the ntpd script again, and now I have valid data. I personally use nsd and unbound for authoritative and client lookups respectively instead of bind, so don’t have any experience with that bind script specifically. Maybe also try some of the other information gathering modules (dpkg, hddtemp, raspberrypi, etc., as appropriate) and see if those are also gathering information and being displayed on the server information page. …Ron From: observium [mailto:observium-bounces@observium.org] On Behalf Of Cameron Murray Sent: Thursday, April 14, 2016 11:29 PM To: Observium Network Observation System Subject: [Observium] Unix-Agent Not Working Guys, We’ve installed the Unix-Agent today on a DNS server in the hope of have Observium monitor bind.

(Not)Ignored Ports
by Robert Williams 14 Apr '16

14 Apr '16

Hi, It looks like ignored ports are suddenly being included in the 'Device Status Notifications' for Errors. We have quite a few devices which have 'expected' errors (half-duplex IP-PDUs etc.) so are now being spammed with error'ed ports: They _do_ disappear if I select the device itself to be ignored, but they used to be silenced just by setting the 'Alerts' column to 'No'. Is this an error - or is there now an intentional new variable which I need to set in config.php to ignore them? Cheers guys!

Cisco Wireless Controller separate graphs for individual SSID's
by Gumilar Siegfried 14 Apr '16

14 Apr '16

Hi guys, I am using the professional edition of Observium. Everything works fine but I'm stuck at a certain point. Let me explain more exactly. We added a Cisco Wireless Controller (AIR-CT5508-K9) to observium. On this Cisco device there are some SSID's. So in Observium you can see under Cisco WC - Graphs - Wireless ONE GRAPH for the wireless clients traffic (for all SSID's). Is there a way to display the traffic graph separately for individual SSID's? The Wireless Controller delivers the OID's for the SSID's, but the question is how to implement them. Siegfried

Monitor IPMI availability

Hello! I'm wondering if there is a way to monitor the presence / availability of the IPMI module in Observium. Most if the servers are SuperMicro. I'm able to poll temperatures, fan speed and etc. through IPMI, but is there a way to receive an alert when IPMI module is not reachable (client often remove the cable to the interface by mistake, or some network issue) the same as I receive alerts for server down, port down. If there is no way, I will appreciate if someone suggest a workaround... -- Regards, Vanya Golomehova Technical support engineer at Extreme Broadband Services

Adding an OS
by David Snowdon 13 Apr '16

13 Apr '16

Dear Observium, My apologies if this is not posted to the right place— this question must have been covered many times but the archives of this list don’t seem to be accessible. I am looking for how to add an OS for our devices ( https://www.metamako.com ). I found this documentation ( http://www.observium.org/docs/developing/add_os/ <http://www.observium.org/docs/developing/add_os/> ) but it seems to be out of date, since there doesn’t appear to be an includes/definitions/os.inc.php file. There’s a definitions.dat file, but this is a binary. Any assistance would be much appreciated. Do I need to be paid up for the subscription edition to make contributions? This seems backward as we would be able to promote Observium for use by our customers. Cheers, David Snowdon CTO, Metamako

Issue wih temperature reporting from Dell 7000 series switch
by Ric Davis 12 Apr '16

12 Apr '16

Hi All There's a small problem with temperature reporting from the Dell 7000 (specifically 7048 in this case) switch. The device page reports the stack unit internal temperature multiple times (I'd estimate >100), none of which look correct: I've copied and pasted the top and bottom of the reports, to show the way three of them read 0. The current firmware version is 5.1.8.2 - It was also present on the previous version of switch firmware we were running (from memory something like 5.1.0.1). I'd presume this is the result of the Dell SNMP response, but is there any kind of a workaround available? The devices web interface does report at least plausible temperature values, so it's unlikely to be a failing sensor. This is on the current CE, but was also present on the previous CE. The device event log has "3h 46m 57s Sensor deleted: temperature fastpath-boxservices-private-mib boxServicesStackTempSensorTemperature.1.1604 Stack Unit Internal Temperature 3h 46m 57s Sensor deleted: temperature fastpath-boxservices-private-mib boxServicesStackTempSensorTemperature.1.1603 Stack Unit Internal Temperature 3h 46m 57s Sensor deleted: temperature fastpath-boxservices-private-mib boxServicesStackTempSensorTemperature.1.1602 Stack Unit Internal Temperature 3h 46m 57s Sensor deleted: temperature fastpath-boxservices-private-mib boxServicesStackTempSensorTemperature.1.1601 Stack Unit Internal Temperature 3h 46m 57s Sensor deleted: temperature fastpath-boxservices-private-mib boxServicesStackTempSensorTemperature.1.1600 Stack Unit Internal Temperature 3h 46m 57s Sensor deleted: temperature fastpath-boxservices-private-mib boxServicesStackTempSensorTemperature.1.1599 Stack Unit Internal Temperature 3h 46m 57s Stack Unit Internal Temperature <http://observium/device/device=11/tab=health/metric=temperature/id=17570/> Sensor added: temperature fastpath-boxservices-private-mib boxServicesStackTempSensorTemperature.1.1772 Stack Unit Internal Temperature 3h 46m 57s Stack Unit Internal Temperature <http://observium/device/device=11/tab=health/metric=temperature/id=17569/> Sensor added: temperature fastpath-boxservices-private-mib boxServicesStackTempSensorTemperature.1.1771 Stack Unit Internal Temperature 3h 46m 57s Stack Unit Internal Temperature <http://observium/device/device=11/tab=health/metric=temperature/id=17568/> Sensor added: temperature fastpath-boxservices-private-mib boxServicesStackTempSensorTemperature.1.1770 Stack Unit Internal Temperature 3h 46m 57s Stack Unit Internal Temperature <http://observium/device/device=11/tab=health/metric=temperature/id=17567/> Sensor added: temperature fastpath-boxservices-private-mib boxServicesStackTempSensorTemperature.1.1769 Stack Unit Internal Temperature 3h 46m 57s Stack Unit Internal Temperature <http://observium/device/device=11/tab=health/metric=temperature/id=17566/> Sensor added: temperature fastpath-boxservices-private-mib boxServicesStackTempSensorTemperature.1.1768 Stack Unit Internal Temperature 3h 46m 57s Stack Unit Internal Temperature <http://observium/device/device=11/tab=health/metric=temperature/id=17565/> Sensor added: temperature fastpath-boxservices-private-mib boxServicesStackTempSensorTemperature.1.1767 Stack Unit Internal Temperature [image: Inline images 1] [image: Inline images 2] -- Ric

Run Alerts Checks
by Kevin Wormington 11 Apr '16

11 Apr '16

Hi, Is it possible to run the alert checks outside of the normal poll cycle? I have a simple perl script that receives SNMP traps and calls the snmptrap.php observium script and the interface is correctly marked down/up but the alert does not happen until the next poll cycle. Thanks, Kevin

APC PDU alert question
by Laszlo Nemeth 11 Apr '16

11 Apr '16

Hello I have some APC PDU with two lines of plugs. The name of the first row of plugs are: "Bank 1" and the second row's name is Bank 2. The two banks have a summarized current value, this is the "Bank Total". I would like to create an alert for the Bank 1 and Bank 2 (if the current ge 7 send an alert) but not for Bank Total. Device Entity Status Checked Changed Alerted pdu05 Bank 2 OK 2m 40s 14m 34s Never pdu05 Bank 1 OK 2m 40s 14m 34s Never pdu05 Bank Total OK 2m 40s 14m 35s Never pdu06 Bank 2 OK 2m 52s 14m 26s Never pdu06 Bank 1 OK 2m 52s 14m 26s Never pdu06 Bank Total OK 2m 52s 14m 26s Never If I add an alert where “Check conditions” is "sensor_value ge 7” and Associations “Device Match” is “hostname match pdu0*” it will be true for the Bank Total Entity too. There is any solution for alerting only for the Bank 1 and Bank2? Thanks Laszlo

Syslog timestamps
by Jason Vanlandingham 09 Apr '16

09 Apr '16

When I look at a device's page, the syslog entries shown below are odd... Things that just happened will say "5h 20s". Hovering the mouse pointer over them shows the correct time on the entry. The Observium server and client I'm on both have the correct time. Are those time marks done using GMT? (I'm on Central DST, so that would make sense.) Can that be changed?

snmp.conf change for r7728 and up on Debian/Ubuntu
by Tom Laermans 07 Apr '16

07 Apr '16

Hi all, Due to a MIB move, if you svn up to the latest release, you might encounter silly output from the SNMP library in PHP. This is the case if you have the php5-snmp module installed, and have added our mib directory to /etc/snmp/snmp.conf. To fix this, replace: mibdirs /opt/observium/mibs by mibdirs /opt/observium/mibs:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp I've updated the install docs to reflect this. Tom

Question Regarding CISCO and TX Discards
by Richard Müller 06 Apr '16

Hy Observium Community I have a router, which is only accessible via SNMP from my company, and it shows up some TX-Discards Just look on this picture: [cid:image001.png@01D1903E.84B547A0] Unfortunately the company who is administering the Router tells me that they do not see any error. I really do not have a clue which kind of Tx Discards these are and how they can be shown in CLI. Does anybody have a clue which “show” Command I have to tell the guy from the ISP that he is seeing these kinds of errors, also. It is a CISCO2911/K9 and it is a Gigabit Ethernet Interface.

Monitoring job status
by Mark Creamer 06 Apr '16

06 Apr '16

Hi, is there a way within Observium to monitor a file system to check that a new file appears at a given time, or alternatively to monitor a log for an entry to appear? The idea is, there are some scheduled tasks running on a Linux server. We can have each task do something on completion, like write a file somewhere, write to a log, post to a database, etc. We want to see if Observium can watch for something like that and alert if it doesn't occur. Method is completely undecided at this point so any ideas are much appreciated. Thanks, -- Mark

Cisco WS-C3850-48P
by Christopher N Callison 05 Apr '16

05 Apr '16

I have a pair of Cisco 3850 switches (stacked) that I'm using as a core for our relatively small office. I have added them to my Observium system and the normal Cisco L2 & L3 interfaces have been detected and are now in monitoring but the wireless features of the devices are not showing up. I would like to graph the number of active users for each WLAN. I see from Cisco's site (ftp://ftp.cisco.com/pub/mibs/supportlists/cat3850/cat3850-supportlist.html) , that there are a few wireless-oriented MIBs that are supported, but I don't see them in the list of MIBs on my Observium server. AIRESPACE-WIRELESS-MIB CISCO-LWAPP-IDS-MIB CISCO-LWAPP-AP-MIB CISCO-LWAPP-CCX-RM-MIB CISCO-LWAPP-CLIENT-ROAMING-MIB CISCO-LWAPP-DOT11-CCX-CLIENT-DIAG-MIB CISCO-LWAPP-DOT11-CCX-CLIENT-MIB CISCO-LWAPP-DOT11-CLIENT-CCX-REPORTS-MIB CISCO-LWAPP-DOT11-CLIENT-MIB CISCO-LWAPP-DOT11-MIB CISCO-LWAPP-DOWNLOAD-MIB CISCO-LWAPP-LINKTEST-MIB CISCO-LWAPP-MFP-MIB CISCO-LWAPP-MOBILITY-EXT-MIB CISCO-LWAPP-QOS-MIB CISCO-LWAPP-REAP-MIB CISCO-LWAPP-ROGUE-MIB CISCO-LWAPP-RRM-MIB CISCO-LWAPP-SI-MIB CISCO-LWAPP-TSM-MIB CISCO-LWAPP-WLAN-MIB CISCO-LWAPP-WLAN-SECURITY-MIB Is there a procedure for configuring the devices to start using the new MIBs once they have been copied to the appropriate directory or do I need to play around with a SNMP walker to find them myself?

SNMP Trap Import
by Kevin Wormington 04 Apr '16

04 Apr '16

Hi, I’m new to Observium (paid version) and am working toward replacing Zabbix completely with it. I see that there is some old/unsupported support for importing LinkUp/LinkDown traps from snmptt in snmptrap.php. I’m going to be testing it out in the next few days and making any required fixes to get it going with current versions. I have also though about implementing some type of mechanism to log/alert on various traps other than LinkUp/LinkDown such as ColdStart, etc. I am curious if there is any interest in that from other users and any input on how people would like to see it implemented and if anyone else is currently using it. Thanks, Kevin

Missing TenGigabit interfaces on Cisco WC-C4900M
by Per Jorgensen 03 Apr '16

03 Apr '16

Hi all First of all thank to the team of developer for making this program, and making it better and better everyday, love the look and ease of use. But I have run into a problem with a Tengigabit ethernet device I newly added into my Observium v. 0.12.8.3360. it seems that every thing get detected alright, except all the TenGigabitEthernet, interfaces dont show up anywhere in Observium, all other interfaces on that device gets detectet allright, and I can see the interfaces in the ports tab on the device, but not the TenGengigabit interfaces. btw: the device is a Cisco WS-C4900M Is that because Cisco WS-C4900M is not a supported device , or should I do some config changes to get TenGigabitEthernet to work ? if the WC-C4900M is not supported, how can I then contribute with information on the device , and help to then this device supported ? Best Regards Per Jorgensen

How to add support for new device/type?
by Jens Bürger 02 Apr '16

02 Apr '16

Hello everyone, first: the mailing list archive is somehow not online: http://postman.memetic.org/pipermail/observium/ So I couldn’t have look at the archive to see if my question was answered recently. I would like to add support for my PBX (Siemens HiPath 3000 series, model 3800) to Observium. There this a file containing MIBs available and someone also did preliminary support for Nagios: https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Hardware/Network-Gear/Siemens… So I had a look at this site: http://www.observium.org/docs/developing/add_os/ The file os.inc.php doesn’t exist, but a definitions.dat instead which is a binary file. So I wonder where to start i.e. getting some kind of device template I can start with? Thanks a lot, Jens

switchmap re: host<-->port L2/L3 matrix

indeed, it would be quite handy to have information about the end hosts. obviously not a full scrape of them for monitoring, but that they exist, what they are, and where. ideally, there could be some observium-style SPoG embrace of Pete Siemsen’s switchmap ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/switchmap/ ) his is a wonderfully useful tool in terms of how much information it packs onto one page, but visually … it’s rather archaic. $0.02 R. > On Apr 2, 2016, at 02:47, observium-request(a)observium.org wrote: > >> Adam / Tom / Justin / David /etc/ >> >> {various discussion about port matrix L2 L3 presentation etc…} >>

Hi I here and there search for IP address belonging to certain MAC address. Below is a tiny patch to show that info in observium.

Telegram Bot Alerter
by Cody Cook 30 Mar '16

30 Mar '16

Hi, Noticed an alert checker for Telegram bots. Just recently got into Telegram. Is there any information on this? I setup my username (both with and without @) and put in the token from BotFather in the config and used test_alert.php -a 9 and it says it sends an alert. Do I need something to customize my bot to make it send messages? Thanks

syslog issue with Palo Alto Firewalls ?
by Bradley, Jim 29 Mar '16

29 Mar '16

Hey, So I’ve got a new installation of Observium pro up and running with 160+ devices, and everything is working as expected, with a minor exception: Syslog messages from Palo Alto boxes arrive successfully at the Centos 7 box, but are not added to the devices logging/syslog page in Observium. So far syslog messages for all other vendors are correctly added to the devices. Is there anything you can advise me to do to further diagnose whats wrong? or is there a problem with the format of Palo messages ? This is not critical to me, but i have 6 PA’s all of which are in the audit, and having the syslog of all the config changes right in the web gui along with the events and stats is a nice simple way for the auditors to get the warm and fuzzys about me not just making it all up.. it’d be great to have. I temporarily disabled the forward of syslog to Observium by commenting out “$IncludeConfig /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf” and restarting rsyslog, at which point the below example messages successfully drop into /var/log/messages.

This seems to work for everything else, so I’m not sure thats whats causing this. My hunch is that the Observium syslog parser doesn’t like the string from the Palo’s, is there a way to see logs for that (without breaking everything else) ?

Performance Data Aggregation
by Ruiz, Carlos 28 Mar '16

28 Mar '16

Good morning Maybe this is a silly question, if so sorry for disturbs If we collect performance data for almost 20k devices and we're interested in perform trend estimations with data for last 12months, does observium implement any aggregation method in order to avoid have an unmanageable amount of performance data stored?, if so, can you point me out to the proper place where i can find some information that can help me to understand the way this work is done? Thanks in advance for your help and patience and sorry again for these basic questions Kind Regards -- Carlos Ruiz Compute System Management Senior Engineer Roche Farma, S.A.Josefa Valcarcel, 40.

Hello, Is it possible to create an view of the used vlan's in the complete environment? Now we can only see the vlan's configured on the different devices? If it is possible I like to see the vlan's to the different devices where it is used on and perhaps we can use a hyperlink to that device. VLan 1 "Name" --> Switch-01 --> Switch-02 Vlan 2 "Name 2" --> Switch-02 ....

Stageing and live area
by Danny op de Dijk 25 Mar '16

25 Mar '16

Quick question to people who may know this bit of information regarding the license. We have as company an official version of Observium. We would like to know how many time we can install the software with that key. The reason is we would like to have a operational live situation and a testing area for new devices codes etc.... Is this possible or is it needed to buy two licenses. Thanks again for anyone that can answer this question.

Problem with RRD spikes
by Danny op de Dijk 25 Mar '16

25 Mar '16

Dear readers, As of a couple of months now we are the happy users of Observium. And after a lot of tweaking and tunning we have a great tool monitoring our network and all of its devices. Still there are some issues we still can't work out or find any information about on the net. I'll describe as best as I can wat I want to fix. On the Observium site there is a section called Miscellaneous with a need trick to irradicate those RDD spikes. The code to use on the command line is as follow: for i in rrd/*/*.rrd; do scripts/removespikes.pl $i; done; And when I execute this code on de command line of Observium (Via Putty) I'm only getting an error message saying: -bash: scripts/removespikes.pl: Permission denied And this message a couple of times over and over again. After a short whil it stopes and nothing has been done to the spikes on the tables of Observium. So natuarly my question is what am I doing wrong, or better what file or folder hasn't got the right rights for me to execute this command. It would be very helpful if these kind of information or any kind of information was availible on the Observium website, but it isn't. And I'm very doudfull it will ever happen. So if anyone has somekind of solution it would be very helpfull. Kind regards, [B4ict_Logo_Only]Danny op de Dijk | B4ICT W: www.b4ict.nl<http://www.b4ict.nl> @: helpdesk(a)b4ict.nl<mailto:helpdesk@b4ict.nl> T: 035-678 06 65 Remote support (Windows)<http://www.b4ict.nl/downloads/teamviewer_windows.exe> Remote support (Mac)<http://www.b4ict.nl/downloads/teamviewer_mac.zip>

Nested location menu without geocodes
by Wiethoff, Helge 25 Mar '16

25 Mar '16

Hi all, is it possible to make the location menu nested without using geocodes? Approximateley like the geocodes are managed... For example: Switch A: snmp location "Building 1, Floor 2, Room 23" Switch B: snmp location "Building 1, Floor 2, Room 23" Switch C: snmp location "Building 1, Floor 1, Room 42" Locations ------- Building 1 -> Floor 1 -> Room 42 (2 devices) -> Floor 2 -> Room 23 (1 device) Building X ... Maybe this is already possible but i am not able to configure it right :-) Otherwise this would be a nice feature when many devices are placed in the same building but in different floors/rooms. cheers, Helge PS: using Observium Professional 0.16.3.7659

Hello all, I have two installs and one works fine but the other that installed the exact same way shows the Custom and Defualt settings in Global Settings at the same time.

'Arch -> Extension' repeating in Eventlog
by Robert Williams 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

Hi, Got a weird issue with one device, it's running Ubuntu 14.04.1 / 3.19.0-56 and is continuously reporting a change of Architecture (to an invalid name) on every poll. Event log for the device below: The device details show this (although without an 'n'): I have no idea what could be so unique about this device, we have plenty of systems running this OS/version and no others reporting this issue. It's a pretty basic build, environmental monitoring box. It appears to be being written by the Unix-Agent module, but I'm not clear why. I've attached the debug of the agent module which shows it setting the Arch, but, I don't understand where it gets it from in the first place? Any ideas most welcome - Cheers!

Port Description or Change Port Name And Mailing list Archive
by Hostmaster＠offpla.net 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

Hello 2 questions, 1st the link on the site to the mailing list archive produces a 404, is there an updated link to review the archive available? 2nd Does a way exist to change the given port name, or to add a description to a port? We have many switches we monitor and it would be very helpful to add a description or change extend a name of a port, so we could instantly know , this port is related to workstation A101 or server B101, or Access point8, and so on. Yes we have other means of accomplishing this, however it's not the instant recognition this would provide. Thanks Pete LaForge Hostmaster(a)offpla.net Logic is only the beginning of Wisdom.

Blank page after messing with php
by Jason Vanlandingham 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

I have a small install on CentOS 6. I saw the message in the web interface about the php version, so I tried updating it from 5.3.3 to 5.6. I got a blank page after that. I found the tip about editing php.ini to set memory_limit = 1024M but that didn't work. I removed 5.6 and went back to 5.3.3 and made the php.ini edit again, but no luck. (Full system restart after each change) What should I look at before I decide this is the excuse I need to wipe the whole thing and go to CentOS 7?

Modify reported Custom OID Values?
by Gumilar Siegfried 21 Mar '16

21 Mar '16

Hello, I am pretty new to Observium and really love it. Right now I am adding some Custom OIDs from our devices. We are using these devices to log the power usage of our housing customers: http://www.hw-group.com/products/HWg-PWR/hwg-pwr25_M-bus_gateway_en.html There is a small problem with the reported power usage. The device reports the values a hundred times higher than they are supposed to be, e.g. 100 kWh when in fact it should be 1 kWh. Is there a way I can divide the polled values before they are stored? If not could you please add such a feature? I was able to do this in WhatsUp Gold, but I want to get rid of it :) Thanks in advance. Regards, Siegfried
