I got alert mail in every 5 minutes. Bug? V2 :)
by Laszlo Nemeth 11 Mar '16

11 Mar '16

Hi All, Some week ago i wrote a mail because we found an alert bug and we got lot of mails (in every 5. minutes) instead of just 1 in 24 hours. This Observium was an updated from the 2015.07 CE to the latest (CE.0.16.1.7533). We thougth that the problem was because of the upgrade process and the alert function was new and something went bad.... Now i made a clear install of the latest Observium CE from .tgz. I added only one host, add the same alert, and i’m receiving again the alerts mail in every 5. minutes. I didn’t touch any file just the config.php because of the SQL access of the Observium! I added a host (emaussw01). It is a Cisco Nexus device with 7 FEX modules. I see the temperatures of FEXs (4 values from every FEX) all is under 50C but not one module. This module are the "FEX-111 Module-1 Die-1". This is over 50C. I add an alert, export is this: <?xml version="1.0"?> <templates> <template type="alert" description="Autogenerated observium template" version="0.91" created="Thu, 10 Mar 2016 15:29:04 +0100" observium="0.16.1.7533" id="73249fd2b23ef5f715d749ce2e98be41"> <entity_type>sensor</entity_type> <name>emaussw01 temp check</name> <message>Temp alarm!</message> <severity>crit</severity> <suppress_recovery>0</suppress_recovery> <delay>0</delay> <conditions_and>1</conditions_and> <conditions>sensor_value gt 50</conditions> <conditions_complex>sensor_value gt 50</conditions_complex> <associations> <device>hostname eq emaussw01</device> <entity>sensor_class is temperature</entity> </associations> </template> </templates> I associated one user for this check via email alert.

Alert Checks on Observium reports device down when they are actually not
by Arya, Renuka [MED] 10 Mar '16

10 Mar '16

Hi Team, I have setup the following Alert on my Observium device. See attachment (Alert_DeviceDown). I sometimes get the alerts that the device is down . See attachment (Devices_Down). However, the devices were actually not down. So most likely it is the Server on which Observium is install, do not get a ping response from the switch(device we monitoring). I ran MTR tests between the Observium server and switch in question, I don't see any packet losses, but I do see average RTT of 0.2 ms and worst RTT as 3.8 ms. So, is it possible when Observium does not get a ping response from the switch in the desirable amount of time, it marks it DOWN. How this desirable amount is calculated. Is there way we can edit this? Or is there any other recommended way for monitoring the devices? Thanks!

db.log full after upgrade to Observium CE 0.16.1.7533
by Mike Driscoll 09 Mar '16

09 Mar '16

After upgrade, all seemed well until my disk filled up. db.log contains countless entries about unknown columns. A couple examples are below. I completed the schema update and full discovery at the end of the upgrade process per: http://www.observium.org/docs/updating/ <http://www.observium.org/docs/updating/>. Rerunning discovery.php -u says my schema is up to date. But something isn’t right. Is there a way to force the schema update to run again? Perhaps that will install all the missing columns?

Cannot add CAB 4+ printer

I'm working for a small company in the floral sector. We have several types of printers. From conventional multifunctionals to label printers (CAB, Zebra). I can add the Zebra printers, but not the cab printers. It appears that Observium is looking for objects with a different suffix. I searched around the site and did some Googling. But I was not able to sort this out myself.

Purchasing the Professional Edition
by Matthew Hawes 04 Mar '16

04 Mar '16

Greetings everyone I was on this list serv in my previous job and I found it to be a great resource for my Observium installation! Great product ! I know this was brought up on numerous occasions in the past (I tried accessing the archive but had no luck with the link so my apologies and haven't been on the listserv in about 6 months) but are there any other methods to pay for the professional version ? Our team took a look at Observium Community and one downside we all brought up was lack of alerting and the payment method. Thank you and have a great day!

How to add a custom alert or web site health check in Observium
by David Gietka - NOAA Federal 04 Mar '16

04 Mar '16

Greetings, My office recently purchased Observium and we really enjoy the server stats on CPU, memory and storage. It appears that I can set up other health checks as well but I was not able to find any examples in the HTML help files. What I would like to do is write a simple shell script that returns one of three values: information, warning, and critical and have Observium act on that value with an alert (on warnings and critical error codes). Does anyone have a brief example they can share? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot. Regards, David Gietka NGS Webmaster

RANCID integration in Observium on a RHEL like OS
by Shkelzen Rugovac 04 Mar '16

04 Mar '16

Hi, I'm trying to integrate RANCID in an Observium server installed on top of a Scientific Linux 6.6. So far I found this documentation for ubuntu: http://www.observium.org/docs/rancid/ I somehow "replaced by" what was necessary such as apt-get by yum and www-data by apache. Though I'm not able to see the "Config" tab in my observium web pages. Am I missing some specific steps for RHEL or it is just not meant to work under RHEL? Many thanks in advance! Cheers, Shkelzen

How to add a custom alert or web site health check in Observium
by David Gietka - NOAA Federal 03 Mar '16

03 Mar '16

Greetings, My office recently purchased Observium and we really enjoy the server stats on CPU, memory and storage. It appears that I can set up other health checks as well but I was not able to find any examples in the HTML help files. What I would like to do is write a simple shell script that returns one of three values: information, warning, and critical and have Observium act on that value with an alert (on warnings and critical error codes). Does anyone have a brief example they can share? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot. Regards, David Gietka NGS Webmaster

IPMI fan speed as percent
by Louis Bailleul 02 Mar '16

02 Mar '16

Hi all, I have some devices for which the fan speed reported over IPMI is in percent. As the current ipmi_unit is “RPM” they were ignored. Thinking that it could be an easy tweak I just added a definition for percent in includes/definitions/sensors.inc.php $config['ipmi_unit']['percent'] = 'fanspeed'; This makes the detection and polling work but the graphs are messed up as they expect RPMs (kind of make sense eh). I believe that the fan sensors code is not designed to accommodate different units. So I come for advice on how to tackle this one. Is there a sensors that already work with percent ?

Device showing interface error cleared long ago
by KA PDE 29 Feb '16

29 Feb '16

Hi, I have a device which is always showing an interface error which was previous to the Observium installation. I cleared the error on the switch and it did not reproduce. However Observium is showing it every day I check. I've tried to delete the device and adding it back and it show the error again. After upgrading to the latests CE it is the same. Maybe this has persisted in the DB, I don't know... Does anyone has any hint for this behaviour? Thanks in advance and best regards, Pau

DOM optic sensor graphs always rounded to 0W
by Sandy Breeze 26 Feb '16

26 Feb '16

Hi, Currently running: 0.16.1.7533 (26th January 2016) We’ve noticed the DOM optic power sensor data to be graphed at 0W all the time. Noticing the ‘value’ figure is correct on the optic’s power status page, we subsequently found all data in the RRD to be correct. eg:  <row><v>6.1840000000e-04</v></row>  <row><v>6.1300000000e-04</v></row>  <row><v>6.1435000000e-04</v></row> It just seems the rrdtool graph function is not rendering this sensor data with anything useful. The graph is being generated with something like this: rrdtool graph /tmp/FLjPO7rtfRJQOfGn.png -Y --lower-limit 0 --alt-autoscale-max --start 1456347228 --end 1456433628 --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 -A COMMENT:' Last Max\n' DEF:sensor=/srv/www/iss/observium/rrd/t40-ar14/sensor-power-cisco-entity-sensor-58513400.rrd:sensor:AVERAGE DEF:sensor_max=/srv/www/iss/observium/rrd/t40-ar14/sensor-power-cisco-entity-sensor-58513400.rrd:sensor:MAX DEF:sensor_min=/srv/www/iss/observium/rrd/t40-ar14/sensor-power-cisco-entity-sensor-58513400.rrd:sensor:MIN AREA:sensor_max#c5c5c5 AREA:sensor_min#ffffffff LINE1.5:sensor#cc0000:'Transceiver Rx Power -' GPRINT:sensor:LAST:%6.2lfW GPRINT:sensor:MAX:%6.2lfW\\l HRULE:0.0009585#999999::dashes Seeing the data collected is in the order of 10^-4 d.p. small, how can we stop this being rounded to 0 all the time on a the graph? I understand completely this is rrdtool not automatically choosing a very good scale for you, but is there any way to detect these low values and fix them up for the graphs by order of 1000 say? Cheers Sandy

Subscription Graphs Issue/API

Creating group with ifInOctets_perc
by Louis Bailleul 26 Feb '16

26 Feb '16

Hi, Seems that I can’t create a group that uses ifInOctets_perc for its entity match ? Is this because of a reason/bug or I am doing it stupidly ? My alert checker is working fine and I was able to create a group with ifOperStatus. They are both in the Mettrics category so I expected them to work the same way.

Panasas support
by Louis Bailleul 26 Feb '16

26 Feb '16

Hi, I have a few Panasas devices that (not surprisingly) Observium doesn’t handle very well. It basically only get the uptime out of it. The devices are similar to this : http://www.panasas.com/products/activestor-16-18 I have attached debug discovery, poller and snmpwalk of the top tree and enterprise parts. I also have attached the mibs from the device (retrieved from the device itself) and a logo (retrieved from http://www.panasas.com/news/press-room ) It looks like there is very little in the standard places and every interesting thing has been shoved into the enterprise tree. Do you think it is possible to add support for these devices ?

Filtering ports/devices
by Michael 26 Feb '16

26 Feb '16

Does anybody know of a syntax that will allow multiple matches when filtering on device hostnames? I'm specifically on the all ports page. We've smashed two separate networks together and there are different naming conventions in use. When I want to look at only one side of the network, it would be easy if I could match all devices starting with p, s or m-. The hostname field doesn't seem to accept regex, nor does it accept "or" statements. Is there a solution to this? Cheers, Michael

Alerts based on RRD averages?
by Stephen Fulton 25 Feb '16

25 Feb '16

Hi all, I'm curious if it is possible to create an alert that considers an RRD average? For example, if I want to generate an alert that looks at the average utilization of a port over a 24 hour period, and if the average bit rate or percentage is greater than X, send an alert? I have been working with alerts that trigger based on a percentage, but if the port drops below that mark for even a short period of time (minutes, perhaps even an hour or two), the clock resets. That's proving troublesome. Any suggestions? Thanks, -- Stephen

HP mfp m527 and mfp m577 printers

Greetings, We've just purchased both of these printers. I've started monitoring them with Observium, but all I see under Inventory are the printer itself (hrDevicePrinter) and the printer's hard disk (hrDeviceDiskStorage). Have I missed doing something, or are these printers just not supported? This is by no means urgent. I've never tried to monitor a printer before and I just wanted to see what Observium told me about them.

Getting "DB schema not installed, first install it." After CE upgrade

Possible bug
by Nagy Attila 24 Feb '16

24 Feb '16

Hi all, We are using a customized location rewrite function to split the SNMP location of devices into a human readable and a machine understandable format. We are using the community edition, and on updating to the recent version we were faced with thIS error message: PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare custom_rewrite_location() (previously declared in /opt/observium/config.php:87) in /opt/observium/config.php on line 102 This is a common error when a php file is included/required more than once, so I made a workaround by renaming config.php to config.user.php and using require_once() in the original config.php to load these directives (it needs absolute path otherways it cannot find the file). Shouldn't require_once/include_once be used in all the places where referencing config.php? Br, Tylla,

Observium syslog year -0001

24 Feb '16

Lately (Since last CE update, I think) I've been seeing syslog messages for my Cisco router with a date stamp of "-0001-11-30" with text reading just something like "1:1". A little searching reveals that there was a mail list post from July 2014 for the same thing happening with Netgear equipment, but the only way I could see that post was through Google's cached result, and I can't find any replies. Is anyone else getting this? Known issue, perhaps?

Export/import hosts
by Laszlo Nemeth 23 Feb '16

23 Feb '16

Hello, Because we have a problem with the alerts (if i set up an alert the Observium send an alert in every 5 minutes instead of 1 alert / 24 hour ) i decided to reinstall the Observium (First i installed the 201506(?) CE and updated it to CE 0.16.1.7533) So the question is can i export the hosts and import back after the reinstall procedure? Currently i have more than 50 hosts, so it is faster if i can just do an export/import instead of add all host again…. Thanks Laszlo

losing device information after adding IP SLA
by Bastiaan Topper 23 Feb '16

23 Feb '16

Hi, We have a few devices in our Observium installation which lost some sensor en memory pools during discovery. See below. It looks like the problem started around 5 days ago. [cid:image004.png@01D16E44.AA924840] It looks like that after enabling a new IP SLA config on a new device, and running a discovery, first the new IP SLA entity appeared. But after waiting a few minutes, the IP SLA and more entities, disappeared. [cid:image005.png@01D16E46.CFB02A50] I attached the discovery debug information for both hosts. How can we get this back to work? Did anything change in the discovery and/or IP SLA around 5 days ago? Thanks and regards, Bastiaan

Normal Users not getting permissions using Active Directory
by Schrader, Spencer R 23 Feb '16

23 Feb '16

I have included the link at the bottom to where I described the issue which was marked “resolved” and I was pointed here for help. I have the professional version of observium where users are all successfully authenticating, but when normal users log in they can’t see anything. I edited there permissions and allowed them all to see multiple devices(screenshot in link),but they still can’t see anything. Observium recognizes they log in as normal users, but doesn’t let them see any of the other devices they have access to. Global Read, and administrators work fine. I posted my ldap config and a few screenshots in the link. http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBSERVIUM-1684 Thanks for your time! -Spencer

Dell ESXi v6 hosts RAM not reporting
by Pedrosi, Derek G. 22 Feb '16

22 Feb '16

I have a few host that were recently upgraded from ESXi5.1 to ESXi6.0. After upgrading, Observium no longer is reporting on physical RAM, at all. Host are Dell r810/r720; at time of upgrade their OpenManage was also upgraded to 8.2. The Observium event log for the servers say... "Memory pool removed: mib host-resources-mib, index 27, descr Real Memory" So I see it was removed, but why? I did an smptwalk on the box "snmpwalk -v2c -c XXXXX 10.X.X.X .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.2.0"--> HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrMemorySize.0 = INTEGER: 536857360 Kbytes It looks like the value it still there. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanx in advance, derek

Re: [Observium] mysqld: The table 'ports_cbqos' is full - solved, probably
by Fältman, Mikael 20 Feb '16

20 Feb '16

Hi again. Increased innodb_buffer_pool_size and restarted mysqld - solved the problem. Buffer_pool_size has probably nothing to do with this issue but I was also getting warnings about buffer pool is occupied by InnoDB: lock heaps or the adaptive hash index. It is a good thing to sometimes keep a peek into /var/log/mysqld.log file (or where ever it is stored).

Development questions
by Philipp Griess 19 Feb '16

19 Feb '16

Dear all, I am currently developing a new application agent for Oracle databases and need some guidance on how to implement it properly. My first goal is to get the current and historical usage of each tablespace - a DB consists of multiple tablespaces. This would give a good overview of data growth inside a database. My application agent running on my DB is polling the data via SQL and returning it to observium as comma spaced values. The output looks as follows: CIT;600;596.63 COMPASS;28488;1406.5 COMPASS_IDX;27996;1568.06 CONFIG;1000;959.69 CONTROLLING;600;596.69 CSR;40960;4966 Now I'm almost at my question. All existing application agents I know are rather static, containing only certain fixed (and hard coded) entities. Tablespaces are much like storage in my point of view so I think it would be a good idea to implement them as a new storage-type in the storage table of the observium database. Is this a proper way to do it or do you suggest a different approach? I'd like to be as compatible as possible to future updates and would also contribute my code if anyone needs it. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks and kind regards, Philipp

Unknown Locations in Device > Locations menu
by Jacob Bisby 18 Feb '16

18 Feb '16

Hi All I'm having some trouble with Observium's mapping - we have it configured to build the Location list and geolocation, etc automatically based on the address/location pulled via SNMP. This works for almost every device we have, but there are two devices which show up under Unknown Location, even though Observium has pulled correct and valid address data for them. It does not appear to successfully pull co-ordinates for the address either, as the two devices appear on the map in the middle of the ocean. I have tried switching from the Yahoo API to the Google API (with API key) but this has not changed the behaviour of the issue. Currently on version 0.16.2.7592, we update via SVN once a month and we were having this same issue on 0.16.1.x as-well. Hoping somebody here has seen this issue before and can help me out or point me in the right direction.

Device mix-up
by Laz C. Peterson 17 Feb '16

17 Feb '16

So, weird thing happened today … We had a network outage that lasted for maybe 45 minutes that kept Observium from monitoring one site. When Observium resumed its normal monitoring activities, it somehow added a whole bunch of inventory items for a Cisco router to a KVM virtual server. About 10 minutes ago, it deleted all of the Cisco items, and is now back to normal. Has anyone seen anything like this before? Does anyone know what might have caused this? ~ Laz Peterson Paravis, LLC

Speeding up caching and database
by Louis Bailleul 16 Feb '16

16 Feb '16

Hi Team, I have a performance issue with the web interface. My Observium is monitoring 3095 devices from which 168 are switches (Just a bit less than 20000 ports total). My server is an IBM X3650 M4, 32G of ram, 6 cores and a raid 10 of SSD. I am more than happy with the polling performance has it finishing in under 200seconds. But the web interface is quite annoying : I have a minimum Time to first bit of ~2seconds. Once these two seconds have passed the page load almost instantly, graphs included. So the question is, can I speed things up ? And if yes how ? It looks like Observium is spending about a second in the database and says that the Cache took 2 seconds to process (?). Do I have some leverage on these points to make it faster ? Page load time (Just a device page) : Connection Setup TIME Queueing 5.24 ms Stalled 1.26 ms Request sent 0.80 ms Waiting (TTFB) 3.29 s Content Download 26.62 ms Explanation 3.33 s Observium Performance report : Page 2.281s Cache 2.047s MySQL Cell 50/0.0633s Row 35/0.0113s Rows 49/0.7822s Column 8/0.0564s Memory Cached 180MB Page 189MB Peak 229MB Versions: Observium 0.16.1.7535 (27th January 2016) OS Linux 3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64 [amd64] (CentOS 7.2.1511) Apache 2.4.6 (CentOS) PHP/5.4.16 PHP 5.4.16 Python 2.7.5 MySQL 5.5.44-MariaDB-log (extension: mysqli 5.5.44-MariaDB) SNMP NET-SNMP 5.7.2 RRDtool 1.4.8 Stats : Statistics DB size 606MB RRD size 134GB Devices 3095 Ports 19390 IPv4 Addresses 6148 IPv4 Networks 44 IPv6 Addresses 2959 IPv6 Networks 1 Services 0 Applications 0 Processors 61262 Memory 15563 Storage 11742 Disk I/O 97461 HR-MIB 96815 Entity-MIB 7292 Syslog Entries 0 Eventlog Entries 172938 Sensors 3863 Toner Mysqltuner output : -------- Performance Metrics ------------------------------------------------- [--] Up for: 2d 21h 57m 9s (260M q [1K qps], 5K conn, TX: 283B, RX: 45B) [--] Reads / Writes: 59% / 41% [--] Binary logging is disabled [--] Total buffers: 10.5G global + 4.7M per thread (650 max threads) [OK] Maximum reached memory usage: 11.2G (35.94% of installed RAM) [OK] Maximum possible memory usage: 13.5G (43.37% of installed RAM) [OK] Slow queries: 0% (14K/260M) [OK] Highest usage of available connections: 21% (142/650) [OK] Aborted connections: 0.00% (0/5477) [OK] Query cache efficiency: 32.3% (74M cached / 230M selects) [OK] Query cache prunes per day: 0 [OK] Sorts requiring temporary tables: 0% (129 temp sorts / 182K sorts) [OK] Temporary tables created on disk: 0% (201 on disk / 112K total) [OK] Thread cache hit rate: 97% (142 created / 5K connections) [OK] Table cache hit rate: 102% (922 open / 896 opened) [OK] Open file limit used: 5% (52/1K) [OK] Table locks acquired immediately: 97% (244M immediate / 249M locks) -------- MyISAM Metrics ----------------------------------------------------- [!!] Key buffer used: 18.0% (28M used / 157M cache) [OK] Key buffer size / total MyISAM indexes: 150.0M/99.0K [!!] Read Key buffer hit rate: 93.3% (15 cached / 1 reads) -------- InnoDB Metrics ----------------------------------------------------- [--] InnoDB is enabled.

Sorting on traffic bug?
by Steffie Morris 13 Feb '16

13 Feb '16

Hi, when you are in the ports view of a switch, and you sort on the column traffic. speeds op 900Mbit are sorted before 1.5Gbit. probably because 900 is larger than 1.5 but the unit is different so i guess that needs to be taken into account somehow?

FreeBSD port update / "red" draw errors
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 12 Feb '16

12 Feb '16

As discussed back in June — http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.observium.general/10286 - this issue also affects FreeBSD. Mathieu Arnold contributed a fix (https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=207057) which, together with a few other small patches & cleanups has been merged into the FreeBSD ports collection a few hours ago. May be an idea to apply this patch (below) to HEAD; I suspect there is a similar issue in generic_multi_data_separated.

Cisco Port Errors Alerts
by Gagandeep Mann 11 Feb '16

11 Feb '16

We are monitoring Cisco routers using Observium We have seen that the list of Errored Ports displays only ports that have "Tx/Rx Errors" on them - it is not displaying ports which have "Tx/Rx Discards". The Custom Alerts documentation also does not mention any way to check Interface Discards separately, We have tried adding ifOutDiscards_rate, but it does not work. Is there any way to achieve this.

Brocade Virtual Fabrics
by Ole Hansen 11 Feb '16

Hello, We’re using Brocade FC-switches with virtual fabrics. According to http://community.brocade.com/t5/Fibre-Channel-SAN/Looking-for-monitor-virtu… <http://community.brocade.com/t5/Fibre-Channel-SAN/Looking-for-monitor-virtu…> using snmpv3 and “context” I should be able to monitor ports in each context. Is this supported in Observium? Setting a specific context for snmpv3. As far as I know, it’s only possible to add a device once, if it has the same IP - how would i monitor the different contexts? — Ole Hansen

Cisco 6500 PSU with 1xAC fault
by Robert Williams 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

Hi, Does anyone know if there is a way to detect a failed AC input on a 6500 PSU when the PSU has dual inputs? I've just noticed that when one of the inputs is removed from each PSU there is no indication in Observium that anything is wrong at all. At the CLI you can see the status changes to AC LOW. For example, below I have removed one of the AC inputs from power supply No.2 #show environment status power-supply 1: power-supply 1 fan-fail: OK power-supply 1 power-input: AC high power-supply 1 power-output-mode: high power-supply 1 incompatible with fan: OK power-supply 1 power-output-fail: OK power-supply 2: power-supply 2 fan-fail: OK power-supply 2 power-input: AC low power-supply 2 power-output-mode: low power-supply 2 incompatible with fan: OK power-supply 2 power-output-fail: OK You also get a reduction in the 'capacity' of the PSU, as shown below: #show power Power-Capacity PS-Fan Output Oper PS Type Watts A @42V Status Status State ---- ------------------ ------- ------ ------ ------ ----- 1 WS-CAC-6000W 5771.64 137.42 OK OK on 2 WS-CAC-6000W 2671.20 63.60 OK OK on Nothing that I can see in Observium shows any of this information so there is nothing for me to Threshold on. Anyone hit this already and come up with a way of doing it? Or is there an OID for the AC Low/High status which can perhaps be added for Observium to see? Cheers!

Port names for D-Link 'smart' switches
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

Minor feature suggestion for the D-LINK switches. As, iin Observium, one cannot change the port description, you need to rely on being able to set those in the switches (e.g. when you want to use Peering, Transit and other trickery). On D-LINK ifName contains a generated Slot0/1 … Slot0/28, etc. These cannot be changed. However at .1.3.6.1.4.1.171.10.76.21.1.1.16.1.2 (DGS series) .1.3.6.1.4.1.171.10.75.15.2.1.14.1.3 (DES series) and so on - there is a always a table with a sysPortDescString : $ snmptranslate -Tp -M+`pwd`:d-link -m+DES-1210-28MEbx .1.3.6.1.4.1.171.10.75.15.2.1.14.1.3 +-- -RW- String sysPortDescString(3) Textual Convention: DisplayString Size: 0..32 I.e. in the private enterprise MIBs for the various DGS/DES switches there is a sysPortDescString that can be set by the user through the file/SDN or web interfaces. Example of the output below. May be useful to pick up.

Graph presentation page - leaving it up for a long period
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 08 Feb '16

08 Feb '16

During observing a team using observium coming from one of the similar competing platforms; noticed a fair bit of confusion as to what updates and what not. Mostly during ‘dive ins’ when something post incident was ‘kept an eye on’ for the ensuing 3-6 hours; including across work-shift related handovers. The issue is which pages auto-refresh - and which not. And I think the only place where it jars is at the date selection/update buttoned pages. Specifically - when you look at the detailed graph; i.e. on: http://10.11.0.132/graphs/to=1454928724/id=7287/type=sensor_graph/from=1454… Having gotten there from an overview page such as: http://10.11.0.132/device/device=722/tab=health/metric=temperature/id= 7287/ it shows right away as a most recent 24 hour ‘date preset’. The user then sees this page nicely reload every N minutes (as confirmed in the top right of the page). And an experienced ops-hand will track that from the corner of his/her eye - and ignore it the instant the graph stays ‘sane’. BUT in reality the date preset does not track - it is just the 6/24/48h/week/month/year tiny graphs at the top that get updated. And that is easy to miss. So two small UX things suggestions: 1) Would it be possible if, left unattended after, to start rolling with the time; updating the date presets bar when it was never touched in the first place. OR once it was shown for 2-3 minutes - highlight something in the Date preset bar to signal the data is out of date — e.g. have the Update/reload button on the far right be highlighted; i.e. signal an update is possible/due/needed. OR perhaps in combination with a pause/play button very OBVIOUSLY set to ‘pause’ as a more generic idea. 2) Since the preset shown there is in effect the second preset from the 6, 24, 48, one week bare above it - may be nice to indicate this - i.e. that the preset has been filled out in this mode.

MIB discovery - systemORD table - feature parity

On some systems SNMPv2-MIB:: sysORTable contains a list of MIBs supported by the agent. Of interest is the: sysORID entry which is defined as: An authoritative identification of a capabilities statement with respect to various MIB modules supported by the local SNMPv2 entity acting in an agent role. and has the OID of those MIBs.

syslog not working for one server
by Patrick Marquetecken 07 Feb '16

07 Feb '16

Hi, I have syslog working for more then 10 hosts but, for one I can’t get it to work. This server is not in the same location, it sent its log through a vpn tunnel, when it arrives at the router I do a natting: Just forward to the observium server. I see the ump traffic arriving but notting show up in the syslog (database) We can monitor the server without any problems. anyone a suggestion ? Thanks

Extracting port names from D-Link switches - feature parity
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 06 Feb '16

06 Feb '16

In observium we cannot, AFAIUI from the UI, overwrite the various switch port names. Observium relies on the port names getting set ‘right’ on the agent side. However - having control over the name is useful e.g. for peering/ transit link regex()ing and what not. Unfortunately not all switches allow for this (for some reason, it seems to be mostly enterprise POE switches). One vendor that does not allow this is D-Link; their ifNames are hardcoded to Slot/0, Port0.0 or the empty string on some (most recent?) product lines. However they do allow the editing of the sysPortDescString in their private enterprise MIB (through config, API, SNMP or the web interface). Below is a small file diff that makes this possible. It is a bit inefficient; as doing it at discovery time is not enough; ifName is watched by the port poller —and I cannot see an easy place to make a ‘note’ of the expensively found OID. But may be of use as a starting point for some.

definitions.dat and sensor_types
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 06 Feb '16

06 Feb '16

We have a tiny sensor/discovery module (gist below) that picks up the (back)pressure, in Bar, of a cooling system. However when we add below to config.php: $config['sensor_types']['pressure']['symbol']='B'; $config['sensor_types']['pressure']['text']='Pressure'; $config['sensor_types']['pressure']['icon']=‘oicon-omega’; it seems that these values are wiped/overwritten by the values from definitions.dat. What, or perhaps, where, is the proper way to add these ? Thanks, Dw. <?php /* — Fetch backpressure on various P, C and I flows. dirkx(at)apache.org */ $oids = snmpwalk_cache_multi_oid($device, “backPressureTable", array(), “DANFLOSS-MIB"); foreach ($oids as $index => $entry) { $label = $entry[‘backPressureLabel']; $descr = $entry[‘backPressureDescr’]; // The older units have just a count - prefix with the label (firmware issue on the pump itself, // cannot be remedied through the puppet/config-deploy). // if (strlen($descr) < 3) { $descr = "$label $descr”; }; $type = ‘pressure'; foreach(array(‘backPressureTop', 'backPressureEgress','backPressureCompressure') as $field) { $oid = snmp_translate($field.'.'.$index, "DANFLOSS-MIB"); $value = $entry[ $field ]; $divisor = $entry[ $field.'Divisor' ]; if (!$divisor) $divisor = 1; if (is_numeric($value)) { /* Longer term - these prolly should go in one custom graph - rather than three */ discover_sensor($valid['sensor'], $type, $device, $oid, "$field.$index", ‘danfloss', $descr.'

FreeBSD ports - Observium CE update to
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 05 Feb '16

05 Feb '16

Folks, The FreeBSD port has been updated to Observium CE 0.16.1.7533; along with a whole bunch of extra/updated dependencies. This also makes the migration/activation to the professional version pretty much a ‘drop in’ now & makes the polling more efficient. SNMP internal mode is expressly disabled (it seems to suffer from the same issue as on fedora - some substitution issue). Thanks, Dw.

Hi Team, I upgraded recently (a couple of times this week) and just reported that the ARP/NDP Table part of observium doesn’t load. Nothing errors in the apache error log. When I run poller.php manually, it does pull the information also. Please support, let me know what's needs to take care. Many Thanks, Madhu

Small feature suggestion - ports/brew/dpkg/etc collections
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 04 Feb '16

04 Feb '16

Couple of small feature suggestions - Would be nice if we could rely on a http://www.observium.org/observium-0.16.1.7533.tar.gz in parallel to the standard http://www.observium.org/observium-community-latest.tar.gz for the varius dpkg/debian/freebd/brew port collections. - Would be nice if the block in defaults.inc.php with: // Location of executables $config['rrdtool'] = "/usr/local/bin/rrdtool”; ……. $config['file'] = "/usr/bin/file”; could be overwridden by a <ROOTDIR>/config.os.php - and perhaps itself live separate from the defaults. As this allows a puppet/ansible/chef recipe (or the various ports collections) to manage this file as an OS specific thing; and keep the per system configs strictly in config.php. Making the latter the only thing to preserve across migrations (and not having to cross check it for OS specific ‘new’ things). With more and more people using things like vagrant/docker/etc - that sort of abstraction becomes useful. Dw.

Single box scalability/sizing?
by Steve Costaras 04 Feb '16

04 Feb '16

We currently have ~500 devices/50,000 ports being monitored on a dual cpu E5-2643 v0 system. It's currently running around 80% cpu (all cores w/ hyper-threading) and on a raid-10 16 drive array (sas 2.5" 10K rpm) which averages 1k iops. Most systems are polled in < 5minutes (with about 5-10 taking longer as they're fully loaded boxes). Looking to plan for future growth, I'm trying to see if anyone is running larger installations and their performance on a single box in trying to gauge if it's worthwhile to spend the $$ to upgrade to a newer V3 cpu system, or if we've effectively reached a single-point saturation limit and have to deploy distributed. I.e. do we have anyone here running say 1500 devices or 150,000 - 200,000 ports on a single system? If so, care to share your specs? Thanks. Steve

Combining multiple custom OIDs into one graph.
by T-MONT Administrator 04 Feb '16

04 Feb '16

Hi guys, I have a question regarding custom OIDs feature: current approach is to have an OID and combine its values pulled from multiple hosts into one graph. Is (or will be) opposite approach possible - to combine multiple OIDs values pulled from the same host into one graph? Thanks! Regards, Pawel

Set fixed scale of Y-axis on mini-graphs?
by Henrik Cednert (Filmlance) 04 Feb '16

Hello I'd like to set fixed values of the Y axis on the minigraphs. Is that possible? I don't find much value of the adaptive scaling since it means I have to read the AXIS and not only throw a quick eye at it to see anomalies.

f5 BIG-IP Alarm

Gents, I’m trying to trigger an event based upon availability in the ”load balancer” section, trying to find a variable in the device data that I can trigger on. Basically I want to trigger if a Virtual Server is down, or if the HA status change. All that is visible in the GUI but not sure if I can create a trigger for it in the Alarm section, possible? //Anders

Feature or bug -- 0.16.1.7533 version - naming of connected port of known device reverts to Mac address.
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 03 Feb '16

03 Feb '16

In below devices/port display - we get for Slot0/21 the connected “port” on “device”. - i.e. eth0 on Ypenburg. However for Slot0/24 we get ’10’ on <macaddress>. Even though that actual port is called ‘Slot0/10’ on ‘Fooburg’ and known to Observium. Not sure if this is intentional - or the side effect from some LLCP discovery process gone awry. Dw.

cdp neighbor and mac address questions
by Randy Mahurin 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

Hello, I've just completed a new install of Observium, version 0.16.1.7535 (27th January 2016), and have a couple of questions in hopes that someone can point me to the correct debugging process. 1) The mac address information on the port is of the port itself, rather than the connected device. We are strictly Cisco in our switching, most are 2960 variety with some 3750 and 3850 mixed in. I see in the demo software, the mac address on the port pages shows that of the client. Also, several months ago, we ran a small version of Observium (since decommissioned) and the client mac populated. 2) Auto discovery based on CDP seems really sporadic, several neighbors will be added, but some will not. SNMP settings are the same across the board and CDP discovered neighbors can be added manually without issue. Is there any chance someone has come across these before? Thank you -- Randy Mahurin Office of Information Technology Boise State University 1910 University Drive, Boise, ID, 83725-1249 Phone: (208) 426-4003

Some questions regarding Observium
by Jens.Altrock＠STADT-NW.DE 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

Hey guys, Have some questions I haven't found answers yet :-/ 1. Read about someone requesting checking and alerting of (os) services, is this already implemented or will it be? 2. Any chance to get to know about new community versions? Couldn't find something on website :-/ 3. Some of our switches have kind of leaks in their graphiocs (see pic on mail, from an ATI 8000GS/24POE). Not sure where this comes from, any ideas? Maybe any debug ideas? Haven't found any special events in Eventlog (except some SNMP down/up errors) Thanks fort he help, and sorry if questions are a bit dumb.

Observium impact on Juniper CPUs
by Raphael Maunier 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

Folks, Just sharing experience using Observium and Juniper EX / MX equipments. I exchanged with Adam and Juniper tac about some issues on some EX4550 having CPU at 100% with no result in solving the issue with a log of tweak in Observium / Junos . I changed the server 3 days ago, faster stronger better :) And voila , CPU dropped on all devices, with the same config.php ! The previous one was not a small server ( aka VM ) but the vm was not as strong as this one. I only had the issue with Juniper equipment not with cisco / Arista . So if you are facing the same issue ( and I exchanged with a few of you ) , you know what to do :) Raphael PS : I still have some EX4550 deleting interfaces from time to time, but I will open another thread !

Did some tweaking. When I click on the link, this is the URL which opens: /health/metric=sensors/event=alert%2Cwarning/ Showing nothing.

Friendly names for devices/hosts and interfaces/ports
by Juan Asensio Sánchez 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

Hi, is there any option to add friendly names to hosts and interfaces? For example, our hostnames are normalized (lx0001), so I would like to show them in Observium as pro-jboss-1, px-mysql-3, dev-apache-6, etc. and see them in all places, next to the hostname, Is this possible? The same for host interfaces, por example, eth0 or eno16780032 to be shown as "service", "management", "backend", "backup", "storage", etc. We have a paid subscription, is there any kind of development included?

Hi, I've on a fresh install of observium, from the latest SVN (not the stable) I'm seeing errors in the SQL log, mostly duplicate entry of various kinds: [2016/01/29 06:07:11 +0100] poller.php(17259): Failed dbQuery (#1062 - Duplicate entry '17-2-984be1747168-4934' for key 'dev_vlan_mac_port'), Query: INSERT INTO `vlans_fdb` (`device_id`,`vlan_id`,`port_id`,`mac_address`,`fdb_status`) VALUES ('17','2','4934','XXXXXXXXXX','learned') But also: [2016/01/28 16:01:05 +0100] (5756): Failed dbQuery (#1054 - Unknown column '' in 'field list'), Query: SELECT `` FROM `slas` WHERE `device_id` = '24'; [2016/01/28 16:01:05 +0100] (5756): Failed dbQuery (#1054 - Unknown column '' in 'field list'), Query: SELECT `` FROM `pseudowires` WHERE `device_id` = '24'; [2016/01/28 16:01:05 +0100] (5756): Failed dbQuery (#1054 - Unknown column 'device_id' in 'where clause'), Query: SELECT `alert_test_id` FROM `alert_tests` WHERE `device_id` = '24'; [2016/01/28 16:01:05 +0100] (5756): Failed dbQuery (#1054 - Unknown column 'device_id' in 'where clause'), Query: SELECT `maint_id` FROM `alerts_maint` WHERE `device_id` = '24'; [2016/01/28 16:01:05 +0100] (5756): Failed dbQuery (#1054 - Unknown column 'device_id' in 'where clause'), Query: SELECT `group_id` FROM `groups` WHERE `device_id` = '24'; I guess the 2:th errors are just possible to ignore if logic has changed, but the first ones are a bit worrying, perhaps there is a mismatch in the MySQL?

Observium: Pre-auth and security questions
by Nate Mellendorf 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

Tom, Thank you for your input. This has been a bit of a learning experience for me. After researching and playing around with Apache, I was able to enable basic authentication using htpasswd. When I attempt to access Observium, I'm prompted for credentials as expected. Once I login with the creds I've configured, I land at the Observium form based authentication page. I'm trying to pass the username and password provided to htpasswd, and send them to Observium on the backend. As you noted earlier, It seems like I should be able to do this with the remote user variable. However, I can't seem to get it to work. I've listed my current virtual host config below. I enabled a2enmod headers and restarted Apache with no luck. I'm curious if you know if there's something I'm missing. I'll keep digging and working away at this, but I thought I'd provide an update to the mailing list. Other users may find it helpful if we sort it out.

This bypasses our login forms of course. I use SSO with Kerberos (AD) tickets, handled by mod_auth_kerb. We also have an http-auth backend, but I don't think that will do what you want it to. There's also a CAS backend, fairly new, I have no idea how to use it but I don't think it could work with your netscaler setup.

unset locations and missing location on drop down [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
by Peter.Hine＠familycourt.gov.au 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

ver: CE 0.16.1.7533 The two attached pictures show that i have 11 devices with unset location, which is strange as i've not added any equipment. when clicking on the location UNSET, i get the second picture, which is "No devices found". the other thing to note is when selecting the location drop down, it only shows up to Townsville. I have one more, Wollongong. So it appears to be showing $count locations not $count+1 (+1 for the UNSET entry) Wollongong is not listed out of alpha order. Selecting Wollongong from the Locations menu correctly shows equipment in the results, but still doesn't list Wollongong in the Locations drop down.

Sensors changing precision/scale
by Michael 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

Has anybody encountered devices that change their scale/precision whenever they feel like it? We have some that now behave this way after a recent software upgrade. We think it's a vendor bug (in this instance, Bluecoat), but might be prudent to catch the changing precision value during the poll. Currently it looks like the precision is detected once and stored in the db. Then subsequent polling is only adjusted based on the original precision value. I've attached a graph and some walks showing the behaviour...

CE 0.16.1.7533 graph errors
by Roland Hill 28 Jan '16

28 Jan '16

Hi, Firstly, a big thanks to the Dev team for releasing the latest CE version; very much appreciated. Since the upgrade my "Custom traffic graphs" just have the "Error drawing graph" message. Secondly, I also note the SNMP Statistic graphs on all devices have the same message. As I just use Observium on my home network "because I can" none of this is critical for me but I'd thought I'd pass on my observations. Thanks again for the release (my DD-WRT devices now report correctly ;-)). -- Regards, Roland PGP Key 0xDA39319B = BCF0 1214 BAE9 5A3D 46FC 21A6 360D 9398 DA39 319B

Hostname change

28 Jan '16

Hi, when I setup Observium for the first time, I used a local only DNS setup. In the meantime, we created a corporate wide DNS setup for our Lab. Old devices are still available, but obviously show up with their old hostname. Is there an easy way to change the hostname of a device? Regards, Christian

Monitor OSX system. Problem with reported size for NFS share and monitor processes
by Henrik Cednert (Filmlance) 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Hi there. Monitoring a osx "server" with observium. To get it to see the NF shares I added this to snmpd.conf: skipNFSInHostResources 0 storageUseNFS 2 This worked and I now see the shares. The large NAS is reported with wrong sizes though. Expected is this: df -ah |grep midskog filmddn:/ddnnas0/midskog 958Ti 193Ti 765Ti 21% 7479476 692520524 1% /Volumes/midskog Reported in observium is: Size: 208GB Used: 915GB Free: -707GB I actually think this could be an net-snmp bug in OSX but I'm not sure. When I snmpwalk locally I see this for that particular mount: HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageType.61 = OID: HOST-RESOURCES-TYPES::hrStorageFixedDisk HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.61 = STRING: /Volumes/midskog HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageAllocationUnits.61 = INTEGER: 512 Bytes HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageSize.61 = INTEGER: 436207616 HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageUsed.61 = INTEGER: 1920024576 Any one that had similar issues and found a solution? Next issue is that i try to monitor a process called 'nsd'. I have added it so snmpd.conf and when i walk the device locally I see it: filmserver01:snmp filmserver01$ snmpwalk -c public -v2c localhost UCD-SNMP-MIB::prTable UCD-SNMP-MIB::prIndex.1 = INTEGER: 1 UCD-SNMP-MIB::prNames.1 = STRING: nsd UCD-SNMP-MIB::prMin.1 = INTEGER: 0 UCD-SNMP-MIB::prMax.1 = INTEGER: 1 UCD-SNMP-MIB::prCount.1 = INTEGER: 1 UCD-SNMP-MIB::prErrorFlag.1 = INTEGER: noError(0) UCD-SNMP-MIB::prErrMessage.1 = STRING: UCD-SNMP-MIB::prErrFix.1 = INTEGER: noError(0) UCD-SNMP-MIB::prErrFixCmd.1 = STRING: But observium doesn't pick it up. Is this something that isn't supported or am I missing something? Cheers and thanks. -- Henrik Cednert cto | td | compositor Filmlance International Direct + 46 (0)704 71 89 54

Display of VRF's defined on a particular device in addition to globally?
by Steve Costaras 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Is there a way to display what VRF's are defined on a particular switch like you can vlans/ports/etc, in addition to globally? I'm running 0.16.17407. We have several thousand VRF's, being able to see what VRF's are actually defined on a device would really be nice opposed to having to log in each time when tracking things down. Since observium is obviously pulling this data to come up with the global view, it has to have it recorded. I think this would just be a display/parsing item? Is this something that may be included in a future version? Thanks. Steve

Problem on some graphs - Percent Utilisation

Adding a new graph
by David Pinkerton 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

Observium newbie... This maybe a question that has been answered a million time but I've not been able to find an answer. I have an Avaya 4524 switch that is not in a climate controlled environment. I wish to graph the temperature within Observium. I know the OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.45.1.6.3.7.1.1.5 and the calibration is .5 degreee. ( ie. 70 = 35 degrees) I can view this in the switches GUI and by snmpwalk. I have confirmed Observium is using the correct MIB for the device. Can someone point me to a newbie guide. (My php skills are minimal)

Alerts ifType eq ethernetCsmacd
by Joey Stanford 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

Howdy, I wanted to thank everyone for the great support on this mailing list. I have another puzzler…the last one I hope. At the bottom of https://www.observium.org/docs/alerting_examples/ there are two alerts that rely on ifType eq ethernetCsmacd For some odd reason when I rebuild they don’t want to apply to any of my devices. As soon as I change that to “*” they bring in all the devices. I went out and pulled the data on the Mikrotik router ports and they are responding with this same ifType. I checked it vis snmpwalk and also on a test router using http://ip/device/device=1/tab=port/port=1/view=data/ I’ve tried spelling out equals, wrapping ethernetCsmacd in quotes (view=data says it’s a 14 character string), and a few other things but I haven’t found the right incantation. These two entries currently match the examples and the demo server. I’ve ensured that I have non-disabled ports and non-ignored ports that should be recognized. &debug=1 reveals SELECT `alert_status` FROM `alert_table` WHERE 1 AND `alert_test_id` = '7' AND (( `device_id` NOT IN (55) AND (`device_id` != ‘' AND `device_id` IS NOT NULL))) ORDER BY `device_id`, `alert_test_id`, `entity_type`, `entity_id` DESC (not there wasn’t a LIMIT 0,100 at the end of that select like on other alerts…aside from that this select is the same as the other alerts) Anyway that select returned 0 hits despite me having well over 100 active ports with that ifType. Any suggestions on how to debug this further? Thanks, Joey

Observium: Pre-auth and security questions

Tom, I overlooked that setting and made the suggested change. However, Observium still seems to prompt for credentials after I sign in with basic auth.

device to device links
by Joey Stanford 24 Jan '16

24 Jan '16

Hi, I ran across a graphing script on github that caught my eye. It reportedly graphs device to device links in Observium (sort of like cacti + Network Weathermap). It uses a table called obserium.links which I don’t have. Google hasn’t been able to give me any leads other than, of course, the developer. I’m wondering if anyone happens to know if it’s possible to associate device ports in this manner… e.g. Device 25, port 287 links to Device 37, port 460. Today I use cacti and weathermap for this. Thanks, Joey

MySQL Agent Innodb
by evo 24 Jan '16

24 Jan '16

Hi, i am a private user of the Observium CE, and I wanted to ask If the MySQL agent will already be fixed in the ne CE release, otherwise I would happily provide a patch for the agent I made just a moment ago when I updated my MariaDB Server to 10 and the innodb query stopped working[0], since it's removed with version 10 and version 5.6.1 of MySQL[1]. If you'd want me to do that, I also would rewrite the whole agent to use mysqli instead of mysql, since it's considered deprecated for some time now[2]. with kind regards Valentin [0]https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/xtradbinnodb-server-system-variables/#h… [1]https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=63383 [2]http://php.net/manual/de/migration55.deprecated.php

Arbor Network's MIBs
by Ryan, Spencer 23 Jan '16

23 Jan '16

Great to see Arbor MIB's getting updated in the SVN checkouts :) I don't monitor any of our own products, but I'm going to talk to the Peakflow guys and see if I can get access to some of the lab gear. We have at least one setup (not sure if it's TMS or SP) that gets about ~8Gb/s of anonymous traffic from a few ISPs. Should give me some useful data in Observium. Keep up the good work guys! *Spencer Ryan* | Senior Systems Administrator | sryan(a)arbor.net *Arbor Networks* +1.734.794.5033 (d) | +1.734.846.2053 (m) www.arbornetworks.com

Manually setting global temperature thresholds
by Joey Stanford 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

Hi, I have a bit of a puzzler and I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I’m monitoring a number of Mikrotik devices. I’m unable to set the temperature thresholds on the device. They all seem to report different thresholds despite the fact that they are all spec’d at -30c to 70c. Instead of going into each device’s settings in Observium and making a custom threshold, is there any way for me to do it in the config file? or some other way using “os eq routeros”? Thanks, Joey

ASR9k fan failures not detected?
by Robert Williams 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

Hi, I've just noticed that fan failures on the ASR 9k are not detected by Observium. In fact, it seems have nothing at all under the 'status' tab? The 6500s have over 20 entries in there for "Fan - Fail" or "PSU - Fail" or "I'm not facing magnetic north - Fail" etc. but the ASR9000 have no status tab whatsoever. Reason for noticing this; is that we have a chassis which currently has a 'Major-Alarm' failure indicator LED on the RSP, due to a failed fan tray. Observium shows the device has being 'OK' and is not seeing either the Major alarm or the fan tray failure: canb-server[151]: %PLATFORM-CANB_SERVER-3-ALARM_INDICATION : Raise alarm from CBC in slot 0/FT0/SP, alarm code CBC_ALRM_FT_LED_RED_FAILED LED Information --------------------------------------------- R/S/I Modules LED Status 0/RSP0/* host Critical-Alarm Off host Major-Alarm On host Minor-Alarm Off host ACO Off host Fail Off FAN0 FAN1 FAN2 FAN3 FAN4 FAN5 FAN6 FAN7 FAN8 FAN9 FAN10 FAN11 FAN12 FAN13 0/FT0/* (Speed) 9900 9900 9870 9780 9870 9780 9780 10080 10080 9870 9990 9900 9810 9990 (fans are now OK again) Is this a case of Cisco not exporting any of this useful (and rather critical) information properly? Would be good to graph fan speeds if they are exported. Or are other people getting these OK and it's just us with the issue? Cheers!

ModbusTCP via SNMP Gateway. Possible to monitor in Observium?
by Henrik Cednert (Filmlance) 22 Jan '16

Hi I have a schneider tsxetg100 ethernet gateway that has a PowerLogic PM3250 attached to it. I can successfully monitor this in APC StruxureWare Data Center expert but trying to get away from that solution. Observium does find and see the tsxetg100 as a generic device but I don't see the PowerLogic attached to it. Is it possible to monitor a Modbus TCP device like this through the SNMP gateway?

Proxmox
by Cody Cook 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

Hi everyone, Two things about Proxmox and my usage with Observium: Upgraded all of my Proxmox boxes except one to 4.0 from 3.4. I use zfs for all the file systems. Since switching to Proxmox 4.0, appears that snmp no longer includes the zfs volumes automatically in the SNMP reply. :( Does anyone have some suggestions on automatically showing their zfs vols in SNMP? I read a manpage for snmpd.conf but only recognized the ignoreDisk screen to manually add. Some other site said begemotSnmpdModulePath."hostres" = /usr/lib/snmp_hostres.so would be useful if I was on FreeBSD, but I am using Debian :P Another question I had is that I was reading that there is the ability to query Proxmox for VMs. Neither my 3.4 or my 4.0 box show VMs. My enable_libvirt is 1 and I use lxc+ssh and openvz+ssh in the libvirt protocols option in the config (lxc for 4.0, openvz for 3.4). I don't see anything VM. I do have tab for VMs for my vmware esxi server though. The public key from Observium is in the authorized_keys file for each of my root users on each proxmox box. What am I missing here? net-snmp version: 5.7.2.1+dfsg-1 Cody

Location
by Tibor Marchyn 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

Hi all, I don't know if it's bug, but I have set locaton on alsmost all my devices, but let's say 1 day ago it wasn't. so few of them was as Unknown location and in devices menu I saw structure like "Unknown -> unset ; Prague -> address, ... " I have fixed location and started poller and discovery. Poller got new location for each device where it was unset. But in menu I still saw structure like Devices - Locations | |- <empty string> | |-Address1 (8 count) | |-<Prague> |-Address1 (55 count) And Address1 is same for both sections because devices in both sections have same sysLocation parameter. Also doesn't matter which menu I click, I always got list of all devices with this sysLocation parameter (63 count). Also I have in config these lines to replace location with exact address and it works fine. $config['location_map']['Prague'] = "my street, Prague, Czech Republic"; $config['location_map']['Nashville'] = "us street, Franklin, TN 12345"; Do you know how to force Observium to move fixed location devices under "Prague" town and show proper count of devices? Thanks

[Observium] /usr/local/www/observium/html/includes/graphs/sensor/capacity.inc.php
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 21 Jan '16

21 Jan '16

Hmm - in -latest.tar.gz there seems to be a reference to /usr/local/www/observium/html/includes/graphs/sensor/capacity.inc.php from /usr/local/www/observium-latest/html/includes/graphs/graph.inc.php with Graph type: sensor, subtype: graph which is somehow caused by: includes/graphs/sensor/auth.inc.php not checking (unlike graph.inc.php) if such an include exists. So I wonder if that auth.inc should become: { if ($subtype == 'graph') { // Fix generic subtype $subtype = $sensor['sensor_class']; $possible_inc = $config['html_dir'] . "/includes/graphs/$type/$subtype.inc.php"; if (is_file($possible_inc)) { $graph_include = $possible_inc; }; } Dw.

Lost discover of the 'ports'.

We recently installed a new/parallel Observium (the old one had not been upgraded for years). The baseline is from http://www.observium.org/observium-community-latest.tar.gz as of today; with a new/fresh config.php. All fine & modern — except for the Ports on the various firewalls and switches not showing up automatically (Neither in ports or in settings; Port Properties). The ‘ports’ poller module is enable; as are POE and ports/port-stack in discovery. Any hint as where to fix/debug/dig as to understand why this is ? Thanks, Dw.

DirectoryIndex index.php
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 21 Jan '16

21 Jan '16

While at it - a small nit w.r.t to the otherwise cut-and-paste perfect: http://www.observium.org/docs/install_* pages — a config for apache DirectoryIndex index.php should be added; either global or, better, within the <Directory … blocks. As it is no longer part of most php default installs. Furthermore - if you want to be very safe on modern unixes - adding a: SetHandler application/x-httpd-php is not a bad idea; and otherwise harmless; as some now avoid this by default for security reasons.

What I see is that the Cisco SNMP is successfully returning the information and, for example in this case, one of the tunnels is showed in the GUI. [cid:image001.png@01D15447.C82C9070] Are we doing something wrong? Or is this a bug? Regards, Bastiaan

RRDTool Output: ERROR only on overview graph.
by Arno Mooreeleme 20 Jan '16

20 Jan '16

We just added a host to observium for which the overview graph does not work. It is an cisco firewall (ASA) running in context mode, the context itself has just 2 interfaces. Both these interfaces are graphed just fine when we look at the ports. However the combined graph on the overview page just shows an 'error drawing graph'. The problem seems to be that the RRD graph is generated without any path's to the existing RRD files. As you can see in the output below there is just an empty space for where the RRD path should be. Any idea where to start troubleshooting this? Note that this is the only host, all other work just fine.

Website Alerting
by Matt Zillmann 20 Jan '16

Hello everyone, I am investigating whether monitoring/alerting a website's status is possible with Observium. Has anyone done this before? It would be a basic alert (UP/DOWN) Thank you.

Network mounts
by Franks Andy (IT Technical Architecture Manager) 20 Jan '16

20 Jan '16

Hi all, If I change ignore_mount_network=>0, should it show up cifsd based shares? I have a host reporting some back, but nothing in observium. I can't pick up windows mount points, and wondered if I could map read only via cifsd in order just to report the space free and alert. Professional version if it makes any difference. Thanks Andy.

Postfix configuration for alerts

Hello everyone, I am trying to set up email alerting for Observium. I have hit a roadblock. I am not sure what I need to configure on postfix in order to send only outbound email alerts to our internal exchange server IT email recipients. Does anyone have documentation or an idea on how to do this? Thank you in advance!

Enable autodiscovery via VMware
by Tibor Marchyn 19 Jan '16

19 Jan '16

Hi all, Not sure if it was asked before, but in current version of Observium 0.16.1.7504 in global settings is option called "Enable autodiscovery via Vmware". How does it works? As I very like observium, documentation looks as totally out of date and not usable. Thanks Tibor

FW: Custom OID alerting
by Franks Andy (IT Technical Architecture Manager) 18 Jan '16

18 Jan '16

Hi all, Like the custom oid addition, it's nice to be able to add support for some each oids if necessary. One thing I've never been able to find out how to do was get mount point support in windows for space percentages used - I can now do this, but wondered whether I could do a custom oid alert? We tend to not have the time to proactively check graphs, so an alert would be ideal. Thanks Andy

reporting and billing
by Anthony Parker 18 Jan '16

18 Jan '16

Hi I am running a couple of installs of the community edition and I like it very much. I would like to expand into suggesting Observium to our customers as a reporting and billing tool and I am wondering Is it possible to get a demonstration copy of the subscription edition of observium to show clients the reporting they can expect? Is it possible to convert an installation to/from the subscription edition or does one simply create a new installation? Thanks Anthony Anthony Parker M9 (IT) Ltd.

Still get alerts on deleted interfaces / vinterfaces
by Pirmin Sidler - Computerline 17 Jan '16

17 Jan '16

Dear Observium members, Monitored interfaces went down on our brocade devices, then we deleted the interfaces (because we didn't use them anymore). We are now facing a bug where alerts are still up and still send Email notifications, even if Observium sees the interfaces as deleted. I have seen there is a "ignore until OK" button in the interface monitoring options but I want it out of alerts. Question: is this a bug? If yes, has it been fixed? (long not upgraded the files). Thanks! Best regards, Pirmin Sidler
