Observium ports stack
by Σταύρος Κρουστούρης 04 Nov '15

04 Nov '15

Hello, I have noticed that ports stack is missing some entries. As a result i cant find some relations between some physical and aggregated interfaces. Is this a known bug/misbehavior? Do you need some extra details?

Re: [Observium] Dropout and graph problems in graphs.............!
by ron＠rjr-services.com 04 Nov '15

04 Nov '15

I'm monitoring a little over 600 devices with my installation. Likewise in a VM, 8x vCPU @3.0GHz, 32GB DRAM, and 32GB of swap. While CPU goes up to 85+% during polls, I don't have any drops whatsoever. Given what you describe, you probably want to add more memory to your VM. Also, what is your average and overall polling time? You may need to add additional polling instances so that everything completes within the 5min window before the next round of polling starts, which again means more memory will be very helpful.

Default new ports to not alert?
by Spencer Ryan 04 Nov '15

04 Nov '15

We are considering adding some of our testbed Cisco devices to Observium, but we'd like all the ports to default to not alert, since they are constantly up and down, and vlans are created dynamically. Any way to do this in the config? *Spencer Ryan* | Senior Systems Administrator | sryan(a)arbor.net *Arbor Networks* +1.734.794.5033 (d) | +1.734.846.2053 (m) www.arbornetworks.com

Search pages broken?
by Tim Cooper 03 Nov '15

03 Nov '15

A colleague has just noticed that the ports and device search pages no longer search when you click the button? We have just upgraded to 7161 today, but not sure when it broke as it's been a while since anyone actually used the search page... We are working around this quite easily but seemed worth mentioning :) Thanks, Tim C

General pre-buy questions
by Ryan Milton 03 Nov '15

03 Nov '15

I am thinking of pushing team to purchase the full version, and even for some support. I have a free version now Questions I have are the following for my managers: 1. Can I alert off of bandwidth utilization? What other types of things can I alert off for the enterprise? 2. Can I alert for jitter across an MPLS? This is a biggie, because we have about 40 circuits. 3. We use WUG, which I hate… how is this better? 4. We use Solarwinds, which is expensive, why is this better? 5. (I know this is bad form, but) why these bars in the graph: Thanks for your awesome answers, and please, give me some reasons that I can use to get team to put money into this. Ryan Milton

Portnames instead of ifAlias for Fabric OS devices
by Ole Hansen 03 Nov '15

03 Nov '15

Hello, Observium (as of 0.15.9.6997) displays ifAlias / ifDescr as label for Brocade Fabric OS SAN switches. Brocade, however, uses “portnames”, which can be found at OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1.6.2.1.36 Is this per design or just because very few have Fabric OS devices in Observium? — Ole Hansen

Graph errors on OS upgrade
by Roland Hill 02 Nov '15

02 Nov '15

Hi list, I'm running CE version 0.15.6.6430, on my non-critical home network. I recently upgraded my server OS from Ubuntu 15.04 to 15.10. This appears to have resulted in some of the graphs in Observium now not drawing. The OS upgraded took rrdtools from version 1.4.8 to 1.5.4, and I suspect this is the root of the issue as I seem to remember this being raised on the list before. I note there was a bugfix committed in August for "Fixed some issues with rrdtool command parsing on newer rrdtool versions". Can you confirm that the draw error's I'm seeing are most likely related to the rrdtool version, and that the next release of CE will probably fix it? An example of the rrdtool error is: RRDTool Output: ERROR: Unused Arguments "" in command : AREA:inbits0#B6D14B:p3p1 Rx: Sorry if this is not enough information. I can provide screenshots if required. -- Regards, Roland PGP Key 0xDA39319B = BCF0 1214 BAE9 5A3D 46FC 21A6 360D 9398 DA39 319B

LLDP issues
by Mark Martinec 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

Spent some time trying to get Observium to deal with MIBs as produced by LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) on a couple of diverse network equipment types. Running the latest CE edition 0.15.6.6430. After initial meager success (only two boxes recognized and several L2 neighbours reported with wrong interfaces), a couple of changes in includes/discovery/discovery-protocols/lldp-mib.inc.php brought some sense into results. There are essentially two problems there: - some lldpRemoteSystemsData OIDs could not be correlated with an interface on the other side (for various reasons, see below); - a fallback mechanism which tries to find a match on an interface's MAC address produces a wrong match, because typically all ports on larger switches have the same MAC address and the heuristics just picks the first match, which is almost always wrong. In case of multiple matches the matching on MAC should just fail, which at least would not produce a senseless match causing operators to scratch their heads and wonder who crossed the cables. The comment in lldp-mib.inc.php : // Find the device by MAC address, still matches multiple ports sometimes, we use the first one and hope we're lucky if very much misguided, as all port MAC addresses on a switch are typically the same, at least on all device types that I checked. The first issue above needs more explanation. I found a couple of different reasons for a failed match, as follows.

So my solution was to add "case 'interfaceAlias':" and "case 'local':" there; switch ($lldp['lldpRemPortIdSubtype']) { case 'interfaceName': + case 'interfaceAlias': + case 'local': A Case 3 is a bit nastier and is specific to our Summit Extreme X450a switches. The problem there is that the interface name (i.e. a port number) as reported in the LLDP MIB does not use the same naming/numbering convention as the IF-MIB and SQL: the LLDP MIB just uses a port number (1 .. 26), while the SQL field ports.ifName prefixes a port number with a chassis number, which is always a 1 in a non-stackable switch. Moreover the ifIndex uses a formula 1000*chassis + port number. On top of it the PortDesc in LLDP MIB is an empty string, so cannot be used to correlate with IF-MIB::ifDescr. To illustrate: IF-MIB::ifIndex.1001 = INTEGER: 1001 IF-MIB::ifIndex.1002 = INTEGER: 1002 IF-MIB::ifIndex.1003 = INTEGER: 1003 [...] IF-MIB::ifIndex.1026 = INTEGER: 1026 IF-MIB::ifDescr.1001 = STRING: X450a-24t Port 1 IF-MIB::ifDescr.1002 = STRING: X450a-24t Port 2 IF-MIB::ifDescr.1003 = STRING: X450a-24t Port 3 [...] IF-MIB::ifDescr.1026 = STRING: X450a-24t Port 26 LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortIdSubtype.1 = INTEGER: interfaceName(5) LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortIdSubtype.2 = INTEGER: interfaceName(5) LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortIdSubtype.3 = INTEGER: interfaceName(5) [...] LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortId.1 = STRING: "1" LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortId.2 = STRING: "2" LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortId.3 = STRING: "3" [...] LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortId.26 = STRING: "26" LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortDesc.1 = STRING: LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortDesc.2 = STRING: LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortDesc.3 = STRING: [...] LLDP-MIB::lldpLocPortDesc.26 = STRING: The corresponding SQL field ports.ifName looks like "1:26", i.e. the port number is prefixed by a chassis number and a colon. So neither the SQL query on ifDescr ("") OR ifName ("26") can succeed, nor the query on ifIndex ("1026"). I ended up with a hackish workaround kludge in lldp-mib.inc.php : case 'interfaceName': $remote_port_id = dbFetchCell("SELECT `port_id` FROM `ports` WHERE (`ifDescr`= ? OR `ifName`= ?) AND `device_id` = ?",array($if, $id, $remote_device_id)); + if (!$remote_port_id && is_numeric($id) && $id < 1000) { + $remote_port_id = dbFetchCell("SELECT `port_id` FROM `ports` WHERE (`ifIndex`= ? OR `ifName`= ?) AND `device_id` = ?", array(1000+$id, "1:$id", $remote_device_id)); + } Actually there is also a Case 4, where lldpRemSysName shows a string "(none).(none)" instead of an empty string, when the (optional) system name is not configured. To fix: - if (empty($lldp['lldpRemSysName']) && $lldp['lldpRemChassisIdSubtype'] == 'macAddress') + if ((empty($lldp['lldpRemSysName']) || $lldp['lldpRemSysName'] == '(none).(none)') && $lldp['lldpRemChassisIdSubtype'] == 'macAddress') The affected devices were: Summit Extreme X450 switches (Case #3), a Quanta LY2R switch (the 'interfaceAlias' Case #2), and a Networking Operating System RackSwitch G7052 (the 'local', Case #1). Not sure what switch was connected there in Case 4, possibly a smaller Quanta, identifies as "armv5tejl/Linux 2.6.17.WB_WPCM450.1.3". The full patch is attached (I hope it survives the mailing list). If more information is needed I'd be gladly providing. Regards Mark

Hi all, Attached is a diff and related files to include support for Baytech PDUs. It was just an archaeology job on some of the other existing PDU discover/sensor files modified for the Baytechs, but it's working well for us.

Flush process causing slow performace
by Johnson, Edward A. 27 Oct '15

27 Oct '15

Since upgrading PHP to 5.4, Observium has loaded very slowly at times. Most of the time just a refresh of the homepage will take .150 seconds but occasionally it can take up to a minute to load. Running iotop shows the Flush process running taking up 99.99% IO which directly correlates to the slow page loads. Can anyone shed some light on a way to resolve this?

Log Names of non discoverable Host in autodiscover
by Serge Müller 26 Oct '15

26 Oct '15

Hi, is there any way to find out which host have been found through autodiscovery but could not be queried by snmp or aren't reachable via ICMP? Since we have lots of people working on our network, i do not always know if someone plugs in new switches or routers, especially not if they forget to configure the acls or snmp. The Observium log only shows "added x Hosts to ..." but no failures, running discovery.php -d -h all is a bit too loud and takes quite to long. Any suggestions? regards Serge

BGP Alert Checks
by Aaron Hite 23 Oct '15

23 Oct '15

Team, I need some guidance. I have spent some time on the web trying to find examples of how to configure a alert checker to tell me when a BGP peer is Admin up but not working. We have quite a few peers in our environment that are Admin down and I just want to ignore those. I have tried many variations of the checker, but must be missing something. Here is a screenshot of the latest attempt. My device and entity match are set to “*”. If I change the condition or any instead of all, I seem to get alerts that are not correct as they are including peer states that are admin down. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks, Aaron

Feature request + issues with NetApp cDot and EMC Isilon
by Jesper Frank Nemholt 22 Oct '15

22 Oct '15

Hi Not sure if there is a better place for feature requests, but here it goes : 1. In the group option it would be great to be able to create subgroups and assign/re-assign, so different measures related to the same infrastructure or area can be kept together. 2. Currently it is not possible to rename a group. Would be nice to have this option. 3. Would be great to have some simple functions / regex related to the group graphs to allow consolidating & filtering the data further. Right now it will either aggregate/stack data depending on what it is and it would be more flexible to have some control over this. Also being able to give the aggregated data some more meaningful data labels would be nice. Some time back I asked about NetApp cDOT support....got no answer but saw on the forum that someone was looking into this several months back. Right now the cDOT support is very limited as the MIB is different compared to standard OnTAP and it allow for multiple controller pairs in the same cluster. Any news on what the status is ? Same story for Isilon, here all the server data is gathered, but with complete unawareness of the nodes being in a cluster.... so the only way to get cluster data properly recorded & presented is to create a group for all nodes and create aggregated graphs. Anyone using Observium with IBM GPFS (ESS) ? /Jesper

Request: Add a device proactively
by Nate Mellendorf 20 Oct '15

20 Oct '15

Observium team, I just finished pre-deploying a few routers for a new client, and I'm adding each one to our monitoring platforms in advance. As they're offline, I'll be unable to add them to Observium until they respond to SNMP / ICMP. Is there a way I could add these proactively, and work around the error that Observium pushes our by default? Ideally, I'd like to add them all now, disable their alerts, and enable them when they're deployed and connectivity is in place. I see you have a Ignore RRD checkbox on the add device page. I wonder if we could have another that says, "Add even though device is offline"? As always, thank you for your feedback and time on this.

Re: [Observium] Request: Add a device proactively
by Nate Mellendorf 19 Oct '15

19 Oct '15

I was going to do something simular, but thought I'd request a feature add. When I deploy my devices, I deploy them with a script that's been standardized / approved. Setting up DHCP would be possible, but it adds additional steps (prone to user error) and may not be possible for all Observium users. I can see why you may not want to add it, but I feel it would be a really nice time saver for future deployments. You configured Observium to say no, I wont poll you if I can't find you. I think this is a little bit of a grey area, where we know it'll be there eventually. Just my two cents. Thanks again Adam for the consideration. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2015 08:27:26 -0700 From: Robbie Wright <robbie(a)siuslawbroadband.com> To: Observium Network Observation System <observium(a)observium.org> Subject: Re: [Observium] Request: Add a device proactively Message-ID: <CADTKZWZ8kbo7ZU8KAnbANzvh+udkEAaC9Bg05zm+V2AxqZZYmg(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" The way we currently handle this, since all of the devices require dns, is to pre-provision the device on a dhcp network and set dns to the temporary dhcp address. We can do the full config on the on the device, ship it, and when it is in its new location (or while it is being shipped) update dns to the new static IP you pre-provisioned and then when it is plugged in, all should be good with the world.

Also for me it is useful to add a device even if "dead". If you prefer, add a switch to add_device.php --no-snmp don't check device online So only the wise guys will force it. best regards, Massimo

Hi,I have installed Observium and have ospf and bgp related polling ,discovery parameters in the config.php file. However, I am unable to see the routing protocol related graph in the web page. Is there anything else that I need to do as I have these protocols running on the Nexus 9000 and MX480 router. Thanks,George

Juniper QFX 10G ports discovered as 4.29G
by Aaron Finney 18 Oct '15

18 Oct '15

Just FYI, the 10G ports on a QFX 5100 running latest JunOS are being reported with a speed of 4.29Gbps, which I assume is likely the actual returned value being constrained by a 32-bit container? Not a critical thing for us to fix - I was actually disabling polling for all of our Juniper vcp stacks in Observium (most of them take > 300s to complete a polling cycle) but noticed this as I was going through them and figured I'd pass it along. Cheers, Aaron

Great progress. Data now appears in RRD, just it’s off by 10 X. Plots show 1.1, correct answer is 11.0 Amps.

Escaped sysContact not being escaped properly

I've got several UBNT devices all running EdgeMax 1.7.0 It appears that they escape the sysContact (and a few other fields) in quotes even if they don't have spaces in them. Observium seems to eat the first one properly but not the second. snmpwalk -Os -c public -v 2c router01 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.4 iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.4.0 = STRING: "\"hostmaster(a)arbor.net\"" However in the UI I see this: sysContact*=>*hostmaster(a)arbor.net\ Which causes email notifications to fail, because of the bad email address.

Ignore Statuses Possible?

Hello We have a few AC powered Foundry FWS-24 switches. Observium is showing alerts for the secondary power supply and fans under statuses. Is there anyway to ignore these? I tried poking around and couldn’t find anything that would do the trick. I don’t even think they have secondary power supplies and fans. Maybe in another hardware configuration but certainly not ours. I have attached a screenshot. Running Observium Professional 0.15.10.7072

Orphaned ports

I've been digging around in my database, trying to figure out why I have a large number of ports listed in my observium interface, compared to the number of devices I have.

These devices were removed from the devices table: mysql> select * from devices where device_id in(45,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73); Empty set (0.00 sec) mysql> But the ports for these devices weren't entirely removed: mysql> select device_id,count(*) as "number of ports" from ports where device_id IN(45,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73) group by device_id; +-----------+-----------------+ | device_id | number of ports | +-----------+-----------------+ | 45 | 4153 | | 66 | 4153 | | 67 | 4153 | | 68 | 4153 | | 69 | 4153 | | 70 | 1569 | | 71 | 4153 | | 72 | 4153 | | 73 | 4153 | +-----------+-----------------+ 9 rows in set (0.01 sec) mysql> These devices were probably F10/Dell M1000e cards, which I removed from observium because of the large number of l2vlan interfaces on each was causing a processor burden when polled. Rather than fight with them, I just removed them. My question is this, how can I clean up the remnants? Can I just delete these orphaned ports from the table? Or will I break anything if I do that?

DRBD Stats / Agent
by Robert Williams 09 Oct '15

09 Oct '15

Hi, Is anyone successfully using the agent to retrieve DRBD statistics? We may be suffering from http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBSERVIUM-574 - I'm not 100%, but I wondered if anyone had fixed it or found a workaround and simply hadn't shared their findings on Jira?

Multiple OSPF processes
by Miguel Berniz 09 Oct '15

09 Oct '15

Hello, I have noticed only 1 OSPF process is detected on cisco devices. I have a Catalyst 4500 with 3 processes but only one of them is handle by observium. Is this the normal behavior or does it require special config or not supported at all? Thanks in advance, Miguel

rsyslog omprog integration Problem
by Serge Müller 05 Oct '15

05 Oct '15

Hi, i'm running observium (latst svn) on a ubuntu 14.04 System. Have Setup rsyslog for udp listening, deployed /etc/rsyslog.d/30-observium.conf as stated in http://www.observium.org/docs/syslog/ However my observium.syslog table stays empty. I have enabled debugging and syslog debuging in config.php so everytime i send a string to /opt/observium/syslog.php the string appears in my observium debug logs. I have started rsyslog in debug mode and (from what rsyslog says) it executes syslog.php: 9163.747286922:7f66a9681700: scriptExec: batch of 1 elements, active (nil), active[0]:1 9163.747293145:7f66a9681700: PROPFILT 9163.747311025:7f66a9681700: Property.: 'inputname' 9163.747324703:7f66a9681700: Operation: 'isequal' 9163.747344027:7f66a9681700: Value....: 'imudp' 9163.747359865:7f66a9681700: Filter: check for property 'inputname' (value 'imudp') isequal 'imudp': TRUE 9163.747370811:7f66a9681700: batch: item 0 PROPFILT 1 9163.747376767:7f66a9681700: scriptExec: batch of 1 elements, active 0x7f66980008e0, active[0]:1 9163.747382283:7f66a9681700: ACTION 0x1fb4d40 [omprog::omprog:;observium] 9163.747404416:7f66a9681700: RRRR: execAct [omprog]: batch of 1 elements, active 0x7f66980008e0 9163.747411147:7f66a9681700: Called action(NotAllMark), processing batch[0] via 'omprog' 9163.747416542:7f66a9681700: Called action(Batch), logging to omprog 9163.747428741:7f66a9681700: submitBatch: enter, nElem 1 9163.747437691:7f66a9681700: tryDoAction 0x1fb4d40, pnElem 1, nElem 1 9163.747443729:7f66a9681700: Action 0x1fb4d40 transitioned to state: itx 9163.747449524:7f66a9681700: entering actionCalldoAction(), state: itx 9163.747471965:7f66a9681700: executing program '/opt/observium/syslog.php' 9163.747917480:7f66a9681700: child has pid 27457 9163.747944939:7f66a9681700: Action 0x1fb4d40 transitioned to state: rdy 9163.747956857:7f66a9681700: action 0x1fb4d40 call returned 0 9163.747978533:7f66a9681700: scriptExec: batch of 1 elements, active 0x7f66980008e0, active[0]:1 9163.748003042:7f66a9681700: STOP and it even returns 0 ! anyone ever stumbled upon such a problem? i put in an additional line in 30-observium.conf :inputname, isequal, "imudp" /var/log/remote/debug.log;observium and it logs my messages just fine any ideas would be highly appreciated best regards Serge

$config['snmp']['max-rep'] working?
by Tim Cooper 02 Oct '15

02 Oct '15

Hi Chaps, I'm trying to use $config['snmp']['max-rep] = 9 to work around an issue with a device that won't return everything from ifAlias when using the default (10), however checking the discovery debug it doesn't actually seem to actually be setting the -Cr option in snmpbulkwalk? Am I missing something else to make this work, or is it actually just not working due to its 'experimental' state in the documentation? Running 0.15.10.7059 Thanks, Tim C

More Observium integrations with rancid
by Robbie Wright 30 Sep '15

30 Sep '15

So we've got rancid integration working (thanks Adam and others) in Observium for all of our Mikrotik devices and it is working great. We've got a few Ubiquiti EdgeRouters (based on Vyatta) that we'd like to get hooked up with rancid as well, but the Observium integration confuses me a bit. Do we edit the cloginrc file with the info for how to log into EdgeRouters? I would have assumed we would normally use a different group to tell rancid how to pull config's but everything is just in the Observium group. How does everyone setup rancid to pull down more than one equipment manufacturer's gear? Has anyone pulled config's through rancid into Observium from EdgeRouters?

Ok, I see that Pushover is now a contact method. Great! Erm, how do I make it work? I've tried creating a new application and putting the API token in the "Destination" field, but it doesn't appear to work that way. What goes in the Destination field? Tim

Small feature request
by Attila Nagy 28 Sep '15

28 Sep '15

Hi All! One colleague of mine recently met this little (let's call it) glitch, and as he is rather new to the software, he had a hard time solving it (he had to ask me to get introduced into the concept of disabled devices, and the place to search for :)). So when one wants to add a new device, and it already exists, Observium writes a simple error message, like: "Already got device x.y.z.net." What I would like to suggest is two things: 1. make the device name in this error message clickable as anywhere else. This way the novice user can click on the host and see that it's really there 2. if the device is disabled, maybe indicate it in this message, like "Already got device x.y.z.net only disabled" This way the novice user would see why he didn't found the device in the first place. Now that I think of it again, the second one is rather overkill, but the first one would be an easy but logical advancement. Regards, Tylla

Geolocation and Mapping
by Adam Armstrong 28 Sep '15

28 Sep '15

Hi Guys, As some of you might already have noticed, MapQuest have changed the policies on their geolocation API, breaking our previous geolocation defaults. We briefly switched the default API to Open Street Maps, but due to the large Observium userbase they weren't able to support our request load, and we've since had to switch to Yahoo's geolocation API. If you've kept the subscription version up to date, you should already have these new defaults. The community version can change the geolocation API in the config.php, but doesn't currently support the Yahoo API, which will come in the next release. Details for settings can be found at : http://www.observium.org/docs/config_options/#syslocation-configuration Observium also has support for Yandex and Google geolocation, and though Google's geolocation works best, it can only be used with a commercial license, so that can only be enabled by organisations with such a license. This means that some addresses which previously geolocated may not geolocate properly now (each API has its own quirks when it comes to parsing addresses, so ones which worked before may not work now, and vice-versa!). We're investigating setting up our own geolocation and map imaging servers, along with switching to a new mapping library to try to remove reliance on external organisations. Thanks, adam.

Any Materials for Observium new starter?
by Peter Ekwuno 28 Sep '15

Hi All, My company just decided that we will be using Observium as the network monitoring on new network environment and the server hosting the Observium is set up and running by one of the Engineers. However, I will be the engineer managing the platform and I’m very much new to the product. More so, I have looked on the web site and Google, it seems that there aren’t enough comprehensive video or guide on how to manage the product bearing in mind that I am new to Linux platform. Please can some one point me to the right direction to get the basic materials needed for Observium?

Separate emails for alerts sent to contacts
by Christopher Pole 28 Sep '15

28 Sep '15

Hi, I'm looking at using Observium contacts + alerts to replace some alerting we do for customers using Nagios. Is it possible to send a separate email to the primary device contact and any additional contacts specified for alerts in the contact section rather than populating the to field with all recipients on a single email? If not would this be difficult to implement? We'd prefer not to expose the internal email address that receives our alerts to our customers if possible. Thanks, Chris

Graphing sum total of Current and Power
by Andrew Plas 24 Sep '15

24 Sep '15

Would it be possible to add a Total Graph for specific Heath statistics, similar to how the total graphs are displayed for Peering, Transit, and Core port types? What I am interested in is essentially adding values already collected by Observium from a handful of devices (rack PDU's) to determine the combined Current in amps and Power in watts to graph and track power consumption across an entire row or even datacenter. We can see this information per-rack from the PDU device already added to Observium, but for our datacenter managers it would be useful to track power consumption across the whole room or suite. In several of our POPs power is provided so we cannot poll the UPS itself- only our own rack PDUs connected to the facility's power bus. Even then, most have A and B side power so we have two PDUs per rack. To the end, I have created a device group by sensor sorting "pdu" device names and filtering for their output values. However, the built-in aggregate graphs show each device's data on one graph and doesn't combine them for a total. Further, my filter seems to pull many values labeled "Output" including voltage and amperage as well as wattage. Any suggestions to refine my filter to get one group for Amps and another for Watts? Please see the screenshots below. Most PDU's are APC model AP8941. I admit this would really only be useful for the "Power" and "Current" health monitors, as items like voltage and temperature are really only useful per-device. Even then, these total graphs would have the most value being filtered to a specific set of devices and likely by location. Maybe a total graph display under /groups may be more useful than one under /health/metric=power or /health/metric=current? Thank you! https://observium/group/group_id=6/ https://observium/group/group_id=6/view=basic/agg_graph=graph/

Disabling polling on large number of ports
by AJ Schroeder 18 Sep '15

18 Sep '15

Hello list, I have just added a bunch of our end user access switches to Observium (thanks to the devs adding Nortel support!). Anyway, I don't want to be alerted or notified if those particular ports go up or down. The only way I know how to stop alerting on ports is to toggle the alerts field in the ports properties of the specific device. However, whenever I select all the ports on a device that has a large number of ports (over 300) all the ports show that they are toggled to off, then I click save. When the page refreshes I only see about two-thirds of them are toggled off, the rest of them are still set to poll or alert. When I manually toggle some ports and click save, the setting doesn't save. Any help or insight on this would be appreciated. AJ Schroeder

As an example i was hoping to get some RAID info on the RAID 1 running on the server with the controller that was shipped. But all i see is C:\ which won't alert me if a disk fail.

are page counts possible on a per user basis (in adressbook) of a Ricoh / Aficio MP c305 printer?
by ecaroh 17 Sep '15

17 Sep '15

We got an Aficio MP C305 Printer where we want to get a monthly automated report of printed pages (bw/color) based on a per user basis (addressbook / print code) to make a print accounting possible. We still can count total numbers (also of all in one types like fax, copy, print and divided in colour/bw counts), but no counts on a per user basis. Does anybody knows whether it is generally possible to have per user counts (based on printer addressbook and user print code) and if so is there an oid? We do not need that functionality directly in observium… cause this is not monitoring but reporting, but it would be nice to get them via snmp automated monthly. Thanks in advance. ecaroh — sample for known oids for getting overall general counters. ## AFICO PAGECOUNTERS OIDDEVTOTAL="SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.367.3.2.1.2.19.5.1.9.1" OIDCOPYSW="SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.367.3.2.1.2.19.5.1.9.3" OIDCOPYCL="SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.367.3.2.1.2.19.5.1.9.5" OIDPRTSW="SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.367.3.2.1.2.19.5.1.9.9" OIDPRTCL="SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.367.3.2.1.2.19.5.1.9.11" OIDFAXSW="SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.367.3.2.1.2.19.5.1.9.6" PRINTER="aio.office-factory.net“ after getting counters we make calculations with difference between now and the day before.

geomapping stopped to work

Hello, geomapping stopped to work after (I think) a svn update. With the same overidden (working well) location configured in about 100 devices, the new devices are not mapped (message: not found) the geolocalization is enabled. I solved with the lat, lot values.

Geolocation bugs
by Attila Nagy 17 Sep '15

17 Sep '15

Hi Adam and everyone! I have two small bugs to report. I'm using Observium CE 0.15.6.6430, I'm closely following the mail list, but if the below mentioned glitches/bugs were between solved, then sorry for wasting your time. 1. I had this problem for longer, but now I found the way to formulate it properly. We have sysLocation strings alike this: Qualitis Iroda / Iroda - 1131 Budapest, Béke utca 116 [47.541773,19.085868] Now when I check the "Geolocation" tab in the "Device Settings" I see following in the "Last Update Status": Geocoding ENABLED, try detect device coordinates: by REVERSE query (API: MAPQUEST, LAT: 47.541773, LON: 19.085868) - FOUND GEO API REQUEST: http://open.mapquestapi.com/nominatim/v1/reverse.php?format=json&accept-lan… GEOLOCATION: Hungary (Country), Unknown (State), Budapesti kistérség (County), Budapest (City) GEO COORDINATES: 47.54163 (Latitude), 19.0859 (Longitude) The problem as I see, is that after using the coordinates given in the sysLocation string to make a reverse query to lookup the Country, State, County etc., the geocoding API returns some coordinates which corresponds to THEIR found geolocation. But the geocoding API sometimes can give really offset coordinates, especially for some bigger sites, where it gives back the entrance. So if there are coordinates specified in sysLocation, then they should be used to pinpoint the device, no matter what the geocoding API says. PS: the documentation also says: "But observium anyway will store in DB specified coordinates." But this is currently not true. 2. I stumbled upon this while trying to get the data out of the Last Update Status Field for previous bug. The fields in the "Geolocation" tab in the "Device Settings" are marked with attribute disabled="disabled", and if something should be made writable, then this attribute is removed. I would suggest using the readonly attribute, as that would enable focusing and selecting from the given field. Not to mention the pure logic would tell the same, those fields are unmodifiable, so readonly should be used. Regards, Attila

Subinterfaces in "down" state
by Bjoern Engels 17 Sep '15

17 Sep '15

Dear list, Observium reports sub-interfaces as down even if the parents are administratively down, ex.: set interfaces ge-0/0/0 disable set interfaces ge-0/0/0 unit 0 family ethernet-switching port-mode \ access This raises an alert for ge-0/0/0.0 Is it possible to ignore sub-interfaces if the parents are admin down?

Missing memory history
by Jason Vanlandingham 17 Sep '15

17 Sep '15

I recently made some device changes and ran *discovery.php -h all* and *poller.php -h all*. Shortly after that I noticed that on one Windows 7 Pro box I'm monitoring, I no longer have any physical memory in the memory graph, just virtual memory. The entire history of it disappeared, and it hasn't started new or anything like that. I checked permissions on that workstation's rrd directory, and all looks good. I do have some backups of the rrd directories. Should I restore?

RANCID integration
by Robbie Wright 16 Sep '15

16 Sep '15

Been hacking around with rancid for a bit and stuck on this step: Run this command to create the folder structure: su - rancid /var/lib/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs It is asking for a password, presumably for rancid, which we don't have. Again presuming here, that it was created by the installer. Trying hard to follow the instructions (exactly) and this is where I'm getting hung up. Thanks ahead of time for the help.

Fwd: Does observium support snapshot.
by Varun Nair (Tech-OPS) 16 Sep '15

16 Sep '15

Hey All, Firstly, a big kudos to observium and for making the life of a n/w engineer tad better. :) Now to my query, I have a Subscription Edition installed. Was wondering if there is a way to setup two instances say master/slave where the master polls the data and sends a periodic snapshot to the slave. This is basically for backups. Any pointers in this regard would be much appreciated. Feel free to revert if any questions.

Support for EMC Isilon & NetApp cDOT
by Jesper Frank Nemholt 16 Sep '15

16 Sep '15

Hi! I saw on an old thread that it's a know fact that NetApp cDOT doesn't work well, apparently due to changes in the MIB from NetApp so they don't use the normal structure anymore. A case was opened with NetApp.....was there any traction on that so far ? Secondly, with Isilon it does pull a lot of info by default, but due to Isilon using something called SmartConnect which basically is a round-robin DNS, if you use the cluster name you get a new node every time which confuses Observium quite a lot. Is there a way to make it somehow consolidate or average the data from all nodes in a cluster so I don't have to create each node individually ? /Jesper

Match for Cisco routers but not switches?
by Andrew Plas 16 Sep '15

16 Sep '15

I am looking to create an alert checker to send an alert when an Ethernet interface on a Cisco IOS router goes down- for example when the router is still up and available in monitoring, but a physical link is down due to a local switch failure, carrier CPE down, peer (unamanaged) router down... We receive syslogs of course, but these can occasionally get lost in the flood and not noticed as actionable by NOC staff. Is there an effective way to make a device match for Cisco routers, but not Cisco switches? The OS type both show up as "ios", and I haven't found something router-specific to successfully match on. I can do this individually by device name, but unfortunately our naming scheme isn't specific enough to match them all with *rt* or *wan or similar. As you can see below, I set the device match to "os equals ios" which includes switches that have a ton of link-down-but-enabled ports on them! Thank you, Andrew [image: Inline image 2]

Show client *rate* on wireless clients graph
by Tim Vaughan 15 Sep '15

15 Sep '15

I'm using Observium to track wireless clients on our Cisco wireless controller. It's very useful. However, when I look at the longer-term graphs (monthly, yearly etc.) it's less useful because I'm not sure what it's showing. Is it clients per day, per week or what? For an example, see: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3183918/apelmRwNW7.png. Is there a way to get the legend show the rate rather than just a plain number? -- Mobile: 07868246225 Skype: tvaughan Twitter: twitter.com/tvaughan

Adam, That makes sense. As much as modern technology makes it seem otherwise, someone always needs to spend the time and code it into existence. With the mibs, is it something we would expect to see in time? Is there a way we could help expedite the coding process? I'm curious if there's a way we can contribute to your efforts. If so, please let me know. I'd be happy to take it to my team. We've discussed it once already, and would really like to see additional stats on our kemps. Thank you!

Team, I've attached the MIBs that can be found on the KEMP load master support page. Do you know if it's possible to have these added to Observium?

Error Drawing Graph

Hi All, I'm seeing "error drawing graph" on several of our Cisco ASR's interfaces, so I'm hoping someone coupe point me in the right direction. I'm running Centos 6.6 with the latest rrdtool rrdtool-1.3.8-7.el6-x86_64 and CE version 0.15.6.6430. I've removed the specific graph rrd file then run the following two commands for debugging purposes. php ./discovery.php -d -h router.local.com php ./poller.php -d -h router.local.com. The file is 0 bytes for some reason. Oddly enough two of the three interfaces issues are with BDI interfaces. The weird part is there is one BDI interface on each box that is displaying correctly. Let me know if you any anything else to assist in troubleshooting.

14 Sep '15

Hi all, I will be accessing my observium from the outside. Therefore i have installed my wildcard cert and enabled https... my problem is when i recive the alert email from observium for some machine. in the email there is a link under device so that i can easily access the server and see what is wrong. my problem is per default the url starts with http and not https. and so the tunnel is not encrypted. How do i change this behaviour?

Tape Libraries in observium
by Steffie Morris 12 Sep '15

12 Sep '15

Hi, has anyone ever tried to add tape libraries in observium? I have an HP MSL6030 and a Dell TL2000 here that i tried to add, but there is no support at all for them yet. I don't know where to start to even try to add some basic information about these devices so i have some reading and catching up to do. But if anyone already has some information, just throw it at me :)

Juniper stack polling - better but still hurting
by Aaron Finney 12 Sep '15

12 Sep '15

Hello all, Moving forward with our POC, and almost everything is perfect...the one thing that's still nagging us is the long polling times for our Juniper switch stacks. Our newest QFX 5k 96s 2-member stacks are now down under 300 seconds after upping max-requests to 70 (~230 seconds now), but our older EX stacks are still taking longer than the polling interval (~330 seconds) to complete. I realize it's the length of time that the Junipers take to handle the snmpbulkwalk of IfEntry and IfEntryX, but has anyone come up with a workaround to date? Obviously stripping OIDs out of the standard MIBs is not a solution because it could break other devices, but is there a possibility I could create an "IfEntry-lite" version that would be exclusive to the EX platform? Or even a custom poller that uses JunoScript instead of snmp? I'm looking for any reasonable solution, even if it takes some work to implement. Thanks!

Support for Nortel/Avaya
by AJ Schroeder 09 Sep '15

09 Sep '15

Hello list, Let me get this out of the way; I am not a developer. Anyway, I have the pleasure of supporting a network that has older Nortel and Avaya devices on it. I've added them to observium and as expected they are showing up as generic devices. I browsed through the developer section on how to add new device support and I have followed those steps and have added some very basic support for Nortel switches (OS version and Serial Number) First question - would this extra support be of any interest to the Observium devs? I'd like to add more meaningful information such as CPU/Memory utilization, flash usage, etc. However, that step appears to be a bit more challenging. Second question - is this documented somewhere or do I need to "reverse engineer" this support from the existing scripts? Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks, AJ Schroeder

unix agent issues
by Robbie Wright 09 Sep '15

09 Sep '15

Trying to get the unix agent setup on a machine with bind to test it out. The scripts for Observium and bind are working on the local machine, but Observium isn't showing the modules. The module is enabled for the device but when trying to telnet from Observium, we're just getting "Connection closed by foreign host." Xinetd is running and listening on the port but isn't responding correctly. There are some typos on the agent installation page on the site (/usr/lib vs /usr/bin) and in the xinetd conf file, but we seem to have those straightened out. Anyone have any tricks up your sleeves for getting the agent to be happy with life? ufw/iptables is off for testing on Ubuntu 14.04 and we're running the subscription edition.

adding a few 100 devices - group associations
by Ross [Eve IT] 09 Sep '15

09 Sep '15

Hi all, I'm looking at adding a few 100 devices to Observium shortly. I don't see any issue adding them, as I can use a filename structured as requested. This is for a few clients of ours, I'd like to trial observium as a customer facing solution. Add a user to view their devices only. Is there a way to script giving a user access to so many devices ? Perhaps to group them. Has anyone done this and found issues with a large number of devices ? Regards, Ross.

poller.php burns all available CPU in the last community edition
by Mark Martinec 09 Sep '15

09 Sep '15

After upgrading a somewhat outdated version Observium CE 0.13.10.4585 to CE 0.15.6.6430 (under PHP 5.5.28), the poller.php started burning excessive CPU: eight running pollers on an 8-CPU machine started burning 100% of available CPU time instead of a few percents as before. They somehow still managed to get their job done, but just barely so in five minutes, and often missing the time slot. While watching the behaviour for a day and learning PHP profiling along the way, I now have an explanation and a solution. Apology if this has been reported before, couldn't find any such report. The problem is in a function external_exec() in includes/common(.inc).php, which has been rewritten some time between these two versions, now switching to a common loop waiting with a stream_select() on two pipes (stdout and stderr) from a spawned snmp*walk process. The documentation on stream_select helps understanding the issue: http://php.net/manual/en/function.stream-select.php read The streams listed in the read array will be watched to see if characters become available for reading (more precisely, to see if a read will not block - in particular, a stream resource is also ready on end-of-file, in which case an fread() will return a zero length string). So what happens is that when a spawned snmp* command closes its stderr but not yet its stdout, the external_exec() goes in a spin: feof($pipes[1]) is false but stream is not yet ready for reading, however the feof($pipes[2]) is true and hence the stream_select() returns right away and reports $pipes[2] as ready. Then the fread($pipes[2]) is called, returns an empty string (because stderr is at eof), and the whole loop busily goes around, until the time the snmp command happens to terminate. Here is a fix: --- includes/common.inc.php.ori 2015-09-04 20:29:39.561244285 +0200 +++ includes/common.inc.php 2015-09-04 20:30:07.617242602 +0200 @@ -618,9 +618,13 @@ { $start = microtime(TRUE); - //while ($status['running'] !== FALSE) - while (feof($pipes[1]) === FALSE || feof($pipes[2]) === FALSE) + while (TRUE) { + $read = array(); + if (!feof($pipes[1])) { $read[] = $pipes[1]; } + if (!feof($pipes[2])) { $read[] = $pipes[2]; } + if (empty($read)) { break; } + stream_select( - $read = array($pipes[1], $pipes[2]), + $read, $write = NULL, $except = NULL, Regards Mark

Cisco ASR Zone Based Firewall graphing
by Willie Van Waveren 08 Sep '15

08 Sep '15

Hi Observium team, I recently installed Observium and got it running on a bunch of devices. I am now trying to get it to graph zone based firewall stats on Cisco ASR and also ISR. When I go into settings on the devices and click to enable the firewall graph it seems to enable, but then when I go and look again it is back to disabled. Am I missing anything? I would like to have the following in the firewall graph, how can I edit, or add a new one for all Cisco ZBF. 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.491.1.1.1.4.0 "The number of connections which were attempted to be setup but which were declined due to non-availability of required resources. This value is accumulated from the last reboot of the firewall." 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.491.1.1.1.5.0 "The number of connections which are in the process of being setup but which have not yet reached the established state in the connection table." 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.491.1.1.1.6.0 "The number of connections which are currently active." 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.491.1.1.1.11.0 "The averaged number of connections which the firewall establishing per second, averaged over the last 300 seconds."

I suppose alerts based on packetloss will tell us if there have been issues, but it would be nice to retrospectively go back a day or week etc. Sent from my iPhone

Hi Team we just recently added Ruckus Zone Director at some customer site. The Zone Director gets recognized as a Wireless Controller. However no tab with wireless is present. Should there be already some Ruckus support or is this still in development? Thanks Basile

A few Questions Regarding Observium
by Lyndon Labuschagne 04 Sep '15

04 Sep '15

Hi All So a few questions around the paid subscription and supported devices etc. In the paid version we have more frequent updates, I assume that some of the issues I see now with supported devices may well be already fixed, I would be interested to hear from any paid subscription users what your experiences are, either on or off list is fine with me. We are really impressed with the support level on the Cisco equipment. Obviously the more useful the MIB files are and the devices support for SNMP the more information is obtainable by Observium. We do however make use of other vendor equipment that is not on the supported list and although the basics of these devices work, more information would / could be available based on the device and the MIB files. We make use of EdgeCore / Accton switches, Alcoma Microwave equipment, and Ubiquiti, First off Ubiquiti support seems spotty, I see the FROGFOOT MIBs seem to be the default and although the UBNT MIBs are in the mibs directory I have not at yet seen a device that seems to use the UBNT MIBs. I would love to see RSSI noise, Capacity etc, obviously dependant on the radio / MIB ability, a few years ago we used Cacti and there was a plugin that did support the radio levels etc for the Stations so it must be possible via SNMP. Unless I am missing something I don't see these graphs. I know that UBNT’s SNMP support have generally been crap to say the least, combine that with some “interesting” hardwarre snmp v1…. Tough Switch and the quasi 5 or 8 port setup that is actually only 2 ports etc etc. Alcoma is a fairly extensively used radio in both the licensed and ISM bands and they do have a fairly comprehensive looking MIB, we would be very interested in having much more detailed graphing and monitoring. EdgeCore These switches also offer a fairly extensive MIB file and support. We would be happy to look at paying for development work to be done to support these hardware platforms if we decide to use Observium. How to we go about requesting development work to be done? Just a side note. We use the new airfibre radios and have noticed that Observium shows the in-band managed IP (management vlan) to show as down, even though this is the IP that Observium gets the SNMP details / polling from, I will check the bugs and see if this has been logged as yet. Thanks Lyndon

Alerts
by Serghei Golipad 04 Sep '15

04 Sep '15

Hi Guys, We seem to be getting alerts for ignored ports. This seems to happen when port was ignored after an alert check has been created, to fix this we have to delete and re-create alert check each time port needs to be ignored. Any chance this can happen automatically?

Override IfAlias
by Jarno Tensen 01 Sep '15

01 Sep '15

Hi all, Does anyone know how to override the ‘ifAlias’ setting? Just like the ‘sysLocation’? We have a lot of network devices which are not able to give a port description, what is very annoying cause we have to go physical to a switch to find out which device is behind the port. I know a lot of settings can be configured in config.php, does anyone know a configline to manual setup a portdescription (ifAlias)? Many thanks in advance!

Introduction, polling time questions, other bits
by Aaron Finney 01 Sep '15

01 Sep '15

Hello, We've just started a POC project to determine if Observium is a good fit for our environment, and so far have been very pleased with the feature-richness and general usability of the entire system. In fact, we've discovered several things in our environment that were immediately addressable. Cheers! One thing that's been a head-scratcher for us so far is the length of the polling time for our Juniper switches...anywhere from ~2 mins for a 48 port EX ToR switch, to 8 minutes for a two-member QFX aggregate switch. It's the port polling that's so costly according to the output of the poller script, around 450 seconds on the QFXs. I've tried some basic troubleshooting...disabling MAC accounting, disabling all ports for polling/alerting, etc...but it hasn't helped. Is there something simple I'm missing in the config that's causing it to bog down on the port module? Aside from the time, it's not hurting the QFXs, but our poor EX4500s sometimes spike to 90% CPU during polling. For context, the Observium POC system is located in the same datacenter as the devices we're polling against, and the QFXs are 96 port 5ks, with uplinks to our EX ToR switches. Any ideas/suggestions you have would be much appreciated! Also, I did add support for Baytech PDUs; if there's interest, I'd be happy to provide the code. Aaron

SYSLOG Issues
by Sandy Millar 30 Aug '15

30 Aug '15

All I am having two issues with syslog, and wonder if someone could give me some guidance. Firstly, syslog filters seems a little inconsistent, for example:- This works - $config['syslog']['filter'][] = 'Cannot statfs /run/user/1000/gvfs'; This doesn’t - $config['syslog']['filter'][] = 'PERMISSION'; Unfortunately, the custom filters I need don’t work, any thoughts? And secondly, Observium appears to randomly stop reporting syslog records from clients. I have followed some of the suggestions from the mail list and determined that the missing records do appear in the debug.log but not in the console, and I am at a loss where else to look. I am using Syslog-NG, which to the best of my knowledge is correctly configured, and Observium CE 0.15.6430. Thanks in advance Kind regards Sandy Millar

Groups based on VLANs

Hi, I want to track a patricidal VLAN and their ports on a bunch of switches, tough that the Group function in Observium could do that for me :) However I can't find any reference to VLAN, tried to use "ifVlan" but not sure that works, or I didn't do that part correctly. The purpose is to track an internet facing vlan to easy see port graphs and to be able to create alerts from these. //Anders

This one is indeed harmless. It's a duplicate to try and fix an update that failed for some people I believe.

alternative to svn update

Hi , I was trying to update to latest version but our firewall does not allow svn as protocol. I downloaded the latest stable version using wget instead and tried to locate new folder under /opt/. I got permission denied error on /discovery.php -u Is there a better way to upgrade than this risky method if SVN is not an option? Thanks, Sujith.
