Juniper EX4550 - Snmp issue
by Raphael Maunier 24 Jun '15

24 Jun '15

Hello, Since 2 or 3 months I have some issue with some of our EX4550. For some reason,, some of the switches are just polling from time to time ( first 2 screencap ) and others are just not polling ( 3 - 4 -5 ) the funny thing is : I don’t have this issue on cacti ( the switches are also polled from Cacti ) I have 3 Junos version running on the backbone and only 3 out of 20 ex4450 have this issue ( and they don’t have the same junos version ). The filter on the loopback interfaces are exactly the same. I can have the arp table, the lldp and bgp/ospf neig but not the if graphing … I already restarted snmp and tried many other thing on the juniper itself. Thanks, Raphael

MySQL App Graphics of only one device don't work anymore
by Ximena Cardinali 24 Jun '15

24 Jun '15

Hi, Today I had to restart a VM and when I checked the Statistics I saw that the MySQL graphics of the VM don't work anymore since last week: [image: Inline images 1] The MySQL Graphics of other devices are working properly but this one. Nothing was changed on that VM ever since. I tried to run the discovery and poller script in Debug mode and I found no errors (maybe I'm blind). I renamed and deleted the rrd Files, deactivated and re-activated the Agent for this specific App, and nothing. When I telnet the VM from the Observium Host, I get some results: <<<mysql>>> a0:962085 a1:249635 a2:14093 a3:3755 a4:2617 a5:22885515 a6:1 a7:4 a8:-1 a9:-1 aa:8192 ab:4428 ac:3735 ad:0 ae:3605 af:130 ag:1486 ah:4630 ai:3744 aj:6044 ak:4472 al:0 am:0 an:0 ao:0 ap:0 aq:0 ... Does anyone have any idea of what can be the error? Thanks, Ximena.

Alert Checker Up/Down Dependency
by Thiedek, Vic 24 Jun '15

24 Jun '15

Hey, Is there a way to create an alert checker that will only report devices down if a device they are behind is up? We have remote offices with 100's of devices, and if there is a WAN issue, we receive 100's of alerts from Observium for that location. Is there a way to create a condition in an alert checker that a device (ex: router) has to be in an "up" status in order for devices behind it to alert as "down" That way if the Router/WAN is "down" we would only get that alert, not all the other devices. Example: This Alert Checker only alerts on devices in TN Entity Type: Device Check Conditions: device_status equals 0 Device Match: location match *TN* Entity Match: * Alert Delay 1 Example: This Alert Checker only alerts on devices in CA when the Router (specific device) is "up" Entity Type: Device Check Conditions: A Specific Device status equals 1 // check that office WAN router is "up" (I know this not a correct syntax, just example) device_status equals 0 //check that device is down AND Device Match: location match *CA* Entity Match: * Alert Delay 2 Cheers!

Device poll order
by Lambert, Benoit 23 Jun '15

23 Jun '15

Hey Observium team, Question: Does poller-wrapper/poller.php poll devices in the same order each time? Or is it randomized? e.g. If poller-wrapper starts one CRON session with device ID 500, will it always start with device id 500 in other CRON sessions to come? Thanks.

Correction of uptime-spikes?
by Pål Rydningen 23 Jun '15

23 Jun '15

Hi all Im monitoing a Windows server that is scheduled to reboot daily. But the "Uptime" graph is showing odd spikes that cannot possibly reflect actual values. [image: Inline image 2] I've used the "removespikes.pl" script, pr. instructions, but get no feedback from the scripts and the graphs remain unchanged. What would be the best way to correct the data?

SVN commit mail crashed our mail server

22 Jun '15

Hello, the SVN commit mail from the observium-svn list yesterday (2015-06-04 16:46:51 +0200) crashed our mail server, most likely because the subject was way too long. I don't know, what script/hook you are using, but the standard in RFC 2822, section 2.1.1. states that "Each line of characters MUST be no more than 998 characters, and SHOULD be no more than 78 characters, excluding the CRLF" The subject of said mail was way over 2000 characters. For now I unsubscribed from that list because I don't want to kill e-mail for everybody in the office once in a while, but can you have a look into this issue and tell me when it is fixed, so I can resubscribe?

Alert to monitor cisco ARP table
by Lambert, Benoit 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

We want an alert when a new mac address is added to an access port. I did some more research and I got the switch to send a Mac-Notification-Change trap to the server. Is there an easy way to implement this? I am testing with snmptrapd daemon. I assume once the server receives the trap it can be re-routed to syslog-ng and brought into Observium. Switch --> Server (udp 162) -->Script/Program that re-routes -->Server (udp 514) --> syslog-ng -->Observium instance I was also struggling with the TRAP payload, the mac, port index and vlan weren't part of the message. Do I need the CISCO-MAC-NOTIFICATION-MIB? Thank you.

Re: [Observium] hdd temperature sensor keeps vanishing ?
by Adam Armstrong 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

If we don't see the sensor returned in the agent output, it'll be removed. If it reappears, it'll be readded. It's likely a timing thing with hddtemp causing that sensor to be occasionally not returned correctly. Adam.

Rsyslog after upgrade from 13.10.4585 to 14.4.XX
by Koen Claes 16 Jun '15

16 Jun '15

Hello, I am currently using an installation of Observium that works very well. I installed rsyslog according to this link : http://www.observium.org/wiki/Rsyslog_Syslog_Server I tried upgrading it for the first time to the most recent version, and everything seemed to work fine, but after a few hours syslogs stopped showing in the web interface. They do still arrive to the machine according to tcpdump. I rolled back the server and it worked again, even for a week now. After upgrading it again it does the same, works for a while and then stops. So I have 2 questions: 1: Where are syslogs saved? In the mysql database? 2: Did anything change regarding to syslog in the major version? I did notice a new logs folder. Thanks This message has been scanned for malware by Websense. www.websense.com

A same rsyslog config for observium + remote logging

16 Jun '15

I was working on trying to get my rsyslog configuration working with observium as well as preserving my configuration for logging inbound logs to files based on the sender’s hostname so Splunk could eat them. It was a bit of a pain, so I thought I’d share incase anyone else found it useful: # /etc/rsyslog.d/30-remote.conf # # Based on a default rsyslog.conf file from Debian Jessie (8) # module(load="omprog") module(load="imtcp") module(load="imudp”) template(name="observium" type="string" string="%fromhost%||%syslogfacility%||%syslogpriority%||%syslogseverity%||%syslogtag%||%$year%-%$month%-%$day% %timereported:8:25%||%msg%||%programname%\n") template(name="hostname" type="string" string="/var/log/remote/%HOSTNAME%.log”) ruleset(name="remote"){ action(type="omprog" binary="/opt/observium/syslog.php" template="observium") action(type="omfile" dynafile="hostname") } input(type="imtcp" port="601" ruleset="remote") input(type="imudp" port="514" ruleset="remote”) #<EOF>

MySQLi extension at r6455 (professional edition).
by Mike Stupalov 16 Jun '15

16 Jun '15

Hi, today added a new feature with ability to use modern php mysqli extension for db connections. It will not add new ponies in your piggy bank, but will give us opportunity to refuse in the future from obsolete php mysql extension. Currently new code will work ONLY if you manually add in config.php option: $config['db_extension'] = 'mysqli'; Also now added some new configurable options for db connections: $config['db_extension'] = 'mysqli'; // The PHP MySQL extension to use ('mysql' or 'mysqli') #$config['db_port'] = ''; // MySQL port (leave blank for default port: 3306) #$config['db_socket'] = ''; // Path to the socket (leave blank for default socket) #$config['db_persistent'] = FALSE; // Whether persistent connections should be used or not. WARNING use at own risk! #$config['db_compress'] = FALSE; // Use compressed protocol for the MySQL connection Please test new options and especially mysqli extension and report here (or in jira) about your success story ;) -- Mike Stupalov http://observium.org/

Missing graph data
by Jason Vanlandingham 15 Jun '15

15 Jun '15

I had a problem with the machine Observium is running on. The CPU fan/heatsink fell off. After I got the machine up again on the evening of 11 June, the CPU Temp graph showed normal temps in the 30-45 range for months, then a big spike up to 115. (eek!) But at least the server came back to life, and I still had all my data. Everything still seems to be running OK, but all of a sudden there is now no data at all in the CPU temp graph before ~1:00AM 12 June. From this machine I get temp readings for CPU temp, Motherboard temp, and 4 other "temp#" listings. "Temp1" and "Temp3" still seem to have the data they should, but the others are missing. One thing I did change after the recovery: I noticed the time zone on the server was set to US Eastern, and I changed it to US Central. I would think if that was the cause of my problem it would hit a lot more of the data.

Adding Custom Information

Is there a way to add custom strings to a device? Ie. I want to add the current version of some linux software that wasn't an RPM install to an object. I have created extended snmp info, but can't find any way to attach that to the polling agent. Ideally this would be a table layout and not a graph as it's simply a key:pair like apache: "2.4.10" *~ Daniel *

Hi all, I have added an extremely pared down copy of a device to Observium and am using it strictly to be able to monitor BGP sessions inside a VRF context.

How can I turf all the graphs and sensors and all that stuff from these devices? Thanks!

IOS XR snmp-server context for monitoring BGP sessions inside a VRF
by Jason Lixfeld 09 Jun '15

09 Jun '15

Hi, I understand that the current BGP MIB doesn’t support VRF contexts for pulling BGP session info for sessions that exist inside a VRF. I have IOS XR boxes that house my vrf BGP sessions, and apparently there is an snmp-context command that has proven to be able to work around the MIB limitations. My question is whether or not anyone within the Observium community has tried to do this. From what I gather, it requires a separate SNMP community on the IOS XR box to perform the context mapping, but that would seem to imply that one needs to duplicates the node in question in Observium with the new community. I haven’t actually tried any of this yet...

Environmental monitoring on an APC Smart-UPS
by Vincent Aniello 08 Jun '15

08 Jun '15

I have an APC Smart-UPS 1500 with a network management card that includes environmental monitoring. When Observium discovers the device the battery temperature is displayed, but not the temperature from the probe connected to the management card. Does Observium have the ability to show the temperature from the probe on the management card? Thanks. --Vincent

Speaking from my perspective, the discovery script found the multiple temperature sensors and properly added them into the display. I would expect that the developers are going to want to see the debug results of the discovery script run against your UPS, so that would be a good next step. Use discover.php with the -d flag running against the device, capture and sanitize appropriately, and post or put on pastebin or something like that. ...Ron Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE DROID Vincent Aniello <VAniello(a)portware.com> wrote: -- This message has been scanned by E.F.A.

I have 5 Nexus 7K switches which are all identically configured but only 3 are showing in OSPF tab (all are neighbours). Is there any debug I can run to find out why this isn't working?

Hello, I am hoping someone can help me understand/confirm my thoughts on what some of the numbers actually mean in the errors graph. For example I have an interface which is showing Packets/sec Now Avg Min Max Errors Rx 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 Tx 3.22m 898.64u 0.00 3.23m Discards Rx 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 Tx 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 Am I right in saying this interface is not discarding any packets, but is encountering errors when transmitting? As for the values of 3.22m and 898.64u are these absolute values, e.g. 3.22 errors a second? Or because of the m is it 0.00322 errors a second?

IP SLA
by Jeffrey d'Ambly 31 May '15

31 May '15

Hello, I am using the observium professional edition and I’ve been looking into configuring IP SLA on all my cisco devices to monitor our WAN. I have the following config on two devices to just test the waters Destination device config ip sla responder source device config ip sla 1 udp-jitter 10.34.36.2 16384 source-ip 10.34.36.1 frequency 300 ip sla schedule 1 start-time now My question is what does the community do as a best practice for IP SAL configurations. As I have it configure now it’s send 10 packets every 5 minutes. This seems like a bad idea because what if there was a network blip between the 5 minute run time? If there was packet loss I would like observium to detect it, and send out an alert. Do I need to configure the ip sla service to constantly run? And if so how do I make sure all that data is there when observium polls it next. —Jeff

Is it possible to create a Group in Observium based on the location of a device? I don't see location as one of the attributes available to associate the device. Thanks. --Vincent

Is there any way to change the temperature readings to display in fahrenheit rather than celsius? I know we Americans should have moved to the metric system 40 years ago but this is a request from management.

CareFlight QLD
by Stephen Penfold 28 May '15

28 May '15

Good Morning/Afternoon, We are currently trialling Observium on several of network components and so far are impressed with the community version however threshold and state alerting is an important feature that would complete the package for us and enable us to deploy it network wide. With Careflight being a non-for-profit organisation and the IT department being a ‘cost’ department our budget is heavily scrutinised and any cost has to be suitably justified. Although we are impressed with Observium and believe it would be a great solution for monitoring our remote sites throughout Queensland, unfortunately we doubt that the cost would be approved by the higher powers as this is something that is currently ‘out of budget’. So this leads us to ask, would it be possible to get a discount/donation on the subscription charge for the professional version of Observium for CareFlight? Any help would be greatly appreciated and please feel free to contact us if you need to. Looking forward to your reply and thanks for your time.

Friendly Names for Ports

I checked the Observium netiquette - I did not see a "please do not repost questions." - If I'm breaking an unwritten rule then I do apologize. Does anyone know if there is a way to apply a friendly name to ports? It does not appear possible in the Community Edition front end, however, is it possible to do this via the database?

poller-wrapper and python3
by Mike Stupalov 18 May '15

18 May '15

Hi, some modern system (like ubuntu 15.04) used python3 by default. Since old poller-wrapper not compatible with python3, today I added experimental *poller-wrapper3.py* which should work with both (2.x, 3.x) python versions. Check wich default python version used in your system: /usr/bin/env python -V Python 3.2.3 If default is 3.x, than use new wrapper in your crontab. Note, in python3 required additional PyMySQL module (since MySQLdb unavialable for python3). In ubuntu/debian install by this cmds: sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools sudo easy_install3 pip sudo pip3 install PyMySQL How to install on other systems I do not know, welcome your tips. -- Mike Stupalov http://observium.org

What are the key lengths of these algorithms that Observium uses? I have some firewalls, which require to set explicitly which algorithm they have to communicate with Observium. However, I cannot make it work, even though I tried all the key lengths on my firewalls.

Every time it has been due to a SNMPD bug on the fortigates. There is an issue with several firmware versions that returns invalid values for interfaces that have been recently deleted (usually vlan subinterfaces or ipsec interfaces). When this has happened snmp on the fortigates will still return values for everything apart from anything referencing the deleted interface (which is still in snmp somewhere). I have logged a ticket with Fortinet about this (in Feb 2014) and it is supposed to be fixed in newer firmware versions (although I have seen it crop up again on ‘fixed’ versions). When it is in this state snmpwalk actually fails the following query snmpwalk -v2c -c public fortigateIPAddress ifType Error in packet. Reason: (genError) A general failure occured Failed object: IF-MIB::ifType.45 (in this example 45 was snmp index of the deleted interface). The fix for us has always been to kill and restart snmpd on the Fortigate (on all cluster members if it is a cluster). You’ll need to find the process ID of the snmpd process and then kill it; watchdog will automatically restart it and then it’ll be fine. show running processes diag sys top 30 99 kill snmpd process by process id diag sys kill 11 <process ID> I don’t remember if you have to do a discovery after this or if it will return to normal on the next polling cycle. Interested to hear if this solves it for you – also interested to hear what firmware version you are seeing this on.

Not showing ports on Juniper EX4200
by Stephen Bateman 10 May '15

10 May '15

Hi Everyone, I have just added a Juniper EX4200 to my kit then added it into Observium, however for some reason it does not list the ports. The JunOS is the same version as my other switches which are fine and if I discover the switch manually on CLI by device ID it appears to retrieve them fine. I have checked the SNMP config of the device against my other ones and they are the same so assume it is maybe something else. Any tips on how to resolve this would be appreciated.

The system doesn't show graphics
by Monico Briseño 09 May '15

09 May '15

I installed Observium on Ubuntu server. I followed all instructions available on the Observium web. However, the system doesn't show any kind of graphics. Also, I want to add a new Linux device with snmp v2 client installed, the system can't reached with the v2c features. Finally, I attached a screenshot of the linux server I could add it using CLI. Any ideas? TIA -- -- http://www.cobaej.edu.mx/cobaejweb/FLASH/bannerbvc.swf -- <http://www.cobaej.edu.mx/cobaejweb/FLASH/bannerbvc.swf>

Fortigate Ports Disappeared
by Serghei Golipad 08 May '15

08 May '15

Hi Everyone, Has anyone else had this problem? All of a sudden some of the critical ports have disappeared, first though it was SNMP process crash on the firewall however simple snmpwalk proves that's not the case. I then deleted device including RRDs and re-added, now none of the ports are showing :( [cid:image001.png@01D088DB.DC99D9B0] I'm on 6404.

Newbie - Mini-graphs (Mouseover & Device Title Bar)
by James Mooney 07 May '15

07 May '15

Dear All I've checked the FAQs and document, and apologise upfront if this is a stupid newbie question. I also apologise for using cheapo switches. I think I've followed the nstructions correctly, and my install looks to be okay and working. I've added two switches: Zyxel GS1920-48 and Netgear GS728TXS. Both are communicating and collecting data. In the Devices page, when I hover my mouse over the Zyxel I get graphs for Traffic, Uptime and Ping Response; however when I hover it over the Netgear I only get the Traffic graph (this also applies to the mini-graphs in the Device's title bar). If I use the graph filter I can see I'm collecting Uptime and Ping Response for both switches. Is there a way to configure this? Many thanks in advance, James

Fwd: Mitel alarm check
by Gerry Armstrong 07 May '15

07 May '15

Hi Guys, I am not sure if this is possible but I would like to be able to add a check in Observium that will monitor the state of a Mitel PBX Alarm state and then report what the state actually is. I know what the snmp variables are that I will have to use to achieve this and I can snmpwalk the PBX to get the correct results but I don't understand as yet how to apply this knowledge to Observium. I actually have a perl script that works with Nagios to do this but I prefer the Observium interface. The check the alarm state on the Mitel PBX we can use "snmpwalk -v 2c -c public HOST 1.3.6.1.4.1.1027.4.1.1.2.2.1.0". If the response in INTEGER: 1 then there is no alarm, 2 is MINOR, 3 is MAJOR and 4 is CRITICAL We can then use "snmpwalk -v 2c -c public HOST 1.3.6.1.4.1.1027.4.1.1.2.2.4.1.8" to retrieve the actual alarm details. Any advice welcomed! Thanks, Gerry

PIX ASA
by Jeffrey d'Ambly 07 May '15

I just aded a PIX asa and for some reason it looks like my aggregate graph on the overview tab is not working (see graph below) what’s really odd is that I can see the individual graphs for each of the interfaces. How can I trouble shoot this? [cid:174AA95D-29D7-48D9-A822-C64E08803E74]

Just a point of note, since I'm not near my laptop and can't collect the requested debug information right now... I've got two ASA55xx running 8.2(5) firmware and am not having the problem on those devices. I also am polling a PIX525 running 8.0(4) firmware, and that is the only device where this graph error is showing up.

Ports view, extended Map of neighbours
by Svensson Fredrik A 05 May '15

05 May '15

Hi there! We are using Observium for monitoring and traffic analysis in a cisco environment. Is there any plans of expanding how the Port/map-tool works? It would be great to see and/or be able to expand the map to include all our switches in the same LAN in more than 1 level, or at least know if there are more switches behind another switch in the Map-view. Thanks! / Fredrik

Error Drawing Graph and more...
by Monico Briseño 04 May '15

04 May '15

Hi, there. I just installed Observium system on Ubuntu server. I followed all instructions on the webpage. However, I found two problems: 1. I add a Linux server. Almost everthing was Ok. However, I couldn't see the graphics. The Observium showed the Error Drawing Graph. 2. I couldn't reach a Windows server with snmp protocol v2 installed. But, the Observium showed the following information: Could not reach 192.168.110.202 with given SNMP parameters using v2c Any ideas?

6880-X Fan Tray Failure
by Chip Pleasants 01 May '15

01 May '15

While setting up Alerts in Observium I noticed both our Cisco 6880-Xs have Fan Tray 1 50V Power Supply status is false. Looking at the show environment I don't see any issues. Anyone else have these boxes reporting similar Alerts? I did see another thread similar to this, but this seems a little bit different. We don't see any issues with our 6500s ( https://www.mail-archive.com/observium@observium.org/msg07354.html). Below is a screen shot output from show environment from one of our boxes.

inodes monitoring
by Juan Asensio Sánchez 01 May '15

01 May '15

Hi all We have a Netapp storage, and apart from used/free space, we need to monitor used/free inodes, because our applications sometimes generate lots of files and we run out of inodes. Can this item be monitored? This data is published by Netapp using SNMP, so I think this is not parsed or displayed in Observium, is it right? If so, can it be enabled? Inodes can also be monitored for local filesystems. Regards.

Disable Alerts Per Location for Downtime
by Johnston, Tom 30 Apr '15

30 Apr '15

Is there a “simple” way to disable alerts for a location? I have some scheduled power outage for a site and was wondering if you can select multiple devices to temporality disable alerts rather than go into each device one by one. I also forward alerts to my phones sms email so it will generate hundreds of sms once they go down. I do have my devices set up with locations though I’m not sure you can do anything with that. -Tom

Newbie questions
by Anders Johansson 29 Apr '15

29 Apr '15

Hi all, My first post here. First I must say that Observium is the most easy looking open source tool I have ever seen :) I'm trying to figure out a few config items that maybe someone can help me with. Autodiscovery If I'm using $config['autodiscovery']['xdp'] = TRUE; and $config['autodiscovery']['snmpscan'] = TRUE; First it does not seems to add any devices discovered with LLDP/CDP, nor have I found a way to do a snmpscan based on my subnets (also added) 1.) Does Autodiscover work as the config file says the feature is not yet added? PTR/DNS Does observium require a PTR record for every device or just a valid host name trough SNMP? How about FQDN? WMI Seems to be a topic not much covered and not really supported, however in the modules section of a device, let's say a server one can find an on/off switch for WMI and also a settings page. Does this mean WMI is somewhat supported or just a GUI glitch? Thanks

Is there a way to override the bandwidth on a port that I can't change what is reported via SNMP? For example I have a 50Mb MPLS on a 100Mb Ethernet port.

Hello list, I have rewritten the NTPD application monitoring script as a shell script rather than installing PHP on my servers. I have been running this for a few weeks now and haven't noticed any issues with it. I'd like to see how the script works on a larger variety of systems before I would call it finished. Would anyone else on this list like to give it a try? Thanks, AJ Schroeder

Cisco switches not Polling to observium
by Simarpal Rooprai 24 Apr '15

24 Apr '15

Hey guys So as the headline reads im trying to get the graphs working to observium. I have 2 3560 cisco switches running which can ping to observium host, also the host can ping back. i have a community set up xxxx which i tried on my workstation and it works sending to observium. But trying on the switches seems to be a bit more difficult. When running php poller script i cant seem to find any errors when greping so i think to problem is with the cisco conf. When i take a look in the obserivum host under pollerlog it would seem that my workstations was last pollled but not any of the switches, Last Discovered seems to work just fine. So what do you guys think? Im not to sure where the problem is i might be in the linux host, but im not an expert at linux nor php. Do any of you guys think you might be able to help me out ? Also i have tried to remove the device and adding it again but still no luck. In observium i get this message even though i have waited 24 hours: error drawing graph Device not yet polled This device has not yet been successfully polled. System information and statistics will not be populated and graphs will not draw. Please wait 5-10 minutes for graphs to draw correctly. Down here is the short config from my switch : SW02#show run | in snmp snmp-server community XXXX RO snmp-server host 10.2.1.118 version 2c XXXX Best regards Simarpal

WS-SVC-WISM2-K9
by Chip Pleasants 20 Apr '15

20 Apr '15

Hi all, After building a new Observium server our Cisco WISM2's (WS-SVC-WISM2-K9) aren't recognized as Cisco Wireless Controllers any longer. They come up as Generic Devices on the new server. On the old they are recognized as Cisco Wireless Controllers. Is there something I need to change on my side? Thanks, Chip

Application alerts, e.g. Exchange/MSSQL
by Colin Stubbs 20 Apr '15

20 Apr '15

Hi Observium Developers, What's the situation with moving towards being able to alert on WMI apps, e.g. Exchange/MSSQL data? e.g. alert if submission queue size >= X It looks as if there's been some work on moving towards this based on the 'app_state' column in the 'applications-state' table... but only for MSSQL, as the current exchange.inc.php doesn't even serialize and insert an app_data in there. Is there a development plan for alerts on WMI apps ? Happy to contribute towards it, but I'd like to avoid wasting time working with what's currently there if a completely different direction is going to be taken. Thanks -Colin

NetApp filer graphs for Disk IO and Network IO are all NaN
by Peter Loron 16 Apr '15

16 Apr '15

We're running Observium Pro 0.15.4.6386, and I have added our NetApp 2230 filers. The filers are running v8.2.2 Cluster. I'm getting some data, but the graphs in Observium for Network I/O and Disk I/O are all NaN. Any ideas? I'm willing to poke into the issue (bad interpretation of returned values? Need updated OID?), but not sure where to start. Thanks. -Pete

Maximum length for interface descriptions?
by Andrew Plas 16 Apr '15

16 Apr '15

Greetings, I've been on the Observium mailing list for a while, and this is my first inquiry. I have been using Observium for about a year now and continue to be impressed with the product and appreciate the active community on this list. I am attempting to use the default interface description parser outlined in: http://www.observium.org/wiki/Interface_Description_Parsing. However, I notice that if the interface descriptions are too long, either the "Notes" field or the "Circuit" field does not display. In searching through the mailing list archives, I hadn't found a specific answer to this. For example, if I have an interface description like so: description Cust: CustomerA's Full Name MPLS [20Mbps] (Carrier Name) {00/ABCD/000000//ABCD} I receive this output under Ports>Customers page: [image: Inline image 1] And if I adjust the interface description to exclude the "Notes" field, the "Circuit" field displays properly. description Cust: CustomerA's Full Name MPLS [20Mbps] {00/ABCD/000000//ABCD} [image: Inline image 2] Doing an snmpwalk, I do see the the full description in both cases. snmpwalk -c SNMPSTRING -v 2c ng-511-sw-edge1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.2.1.1.28 <omitted> iso.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.2.1.1.28.10610 = STRING: "Cust: CustomerA's Full Name MPLS [20Mbps] (Carrier Name) {00/ABCD/000000//ABCD}" Is there a maximum length that the parser will allow? Is this just a matter of column width on the "Ports" pages? I notice on other ports, when a customer has a really long name it does roll over to another line. Any reason the "Circuit" or "Notes" fields can't? For better or worse, I'd like as much useful information on the dashboard as possible and unfortunately some of these carrier's circuit ID's are very long... My equipment is a Cisco 3750E and I am currently running Observium Professional at version 0.15.4.6378 Thank you for any and all input!

Re: [Observium] Alerting on BGP Ucast prefixes
by Pedersen, Sean 15 Apr '15

15 Apr '15

The only BGP-related metrics at the moment are bgpPeerState, bgpPeerAdminStatus, and bgpFsmEstablishedTime. The prefix data might be graphed, but the same data might not necessarily be available via the alerting system. I’d like to see that kind of alerting as well! Though I don’t think it’d replace something more robust like BGPMon. Plus, it could get quite chatty unless you could set limits on route changes. From: Michael Vieth Reply-To: Observium Network Observation System Date: Wednesday, April 15, 2015 at 7:48 AM To: Observium Network Observation System Subject: [Observium] Alerting on BGP Ucast prefixes I am ecstatic that unicast prefix is graphed on Observium. Is there a way to alert on a change in the number of routes being advertised? For example, say I am receiving 500 routes from a peer, and that drops to 430, is that an alert-able event? (Sorry if this is a repeated question, I am having difficulty finding detailed information on alerts outside of the wiki that just has general alerts documented.)

Re: [Observium] WIFI AP with sane SNMP
by Adam Armstrong 14 Apr '15

14 Apr '15

I've been working with Ruckus's zoneflex devices, the SNMP is quite well laid out and they don't seem to die. They've already partial support in observium, with more coming when I get time :) If you find something else with similarly well structured MIBs (radios, wlans, ssids, etc all nicely enumerated) support can probably be extended to that too. Assuming of course we don't embargo russian SNMP traffic before then :D Adam.

excluding servers from alert checks
by Patrick Marquetecken 14 Apr '15

14 Apr '15

Hi, I'm trying to exclude some servers from a check, but it does not work. Check Conditions processor_usage greater 80 Device match: * notequals db-02 notequals man-01 Entity match * But when I run regenerate the two machines have always the alerts enabled. removing the * from Device match don't help either. A second question, is it possible to suppress alert checking during a certain period , I'll do off site backup each day that triggers this alert. The alert check: Traffic exceeds 85% with a delay of 2 If I put the delay higher I will not receive 'real' alerts.

I'm sure someone (probably several someones) out there is using Observium to monitor one of these devices, and I'm looking for a bit of feedback on how the process goes and what kind of info you receive.

Alert Check not Working
by Johnston, Tom 06 Apr '15

06 Apr '15

I have an alert checker set up to alert for CPU gt 80%. I also have an Alert checker for ifOperStatus. It seems many of the devices have never been checked despite regenerating multiple times. When I hover of the “I” for information its an empty square. Issue happens on the same exact device models and on others we get a result of Checks Ok and some array data under the “I” Devices running identical IOS images, one works, another doesn’t. What information can I gather to help see what the issue may be? Version: Observium 0.15.3.6350 (rolling) Server 4vCPU / 8GB RAM 166 Devices (mostly Cisco Switches)(Polling/Alerting on Mostly Uplinks only, not access interfaces) Thannks.

observium managment should be more professional
by John Brown 06 Apr '15

06 Apr '15

http://afmug.com/pipermail/af/2015-March/018914.html As a provider of internet connectivity (ergo a telco and a ISP) we use licensed microwave and unlicensed microwave technologies to feed our revenue generating customers. We also use fiber, and copper based technologies. microwave != wifi We are not alone in using a mix of technologies to deliver bits to customers. T-Mobile, ATT, Sprint, AllTel, Cellular One, Verizon, etc all use microwave (wireless) technologies to deliver bits. I, like others, have offered to write code, have asked for pointers on how to get started writing code, all appears to have fallen upon deaf ears. I've offered to PAY others to write code to support our kit, with features we need. No takers. As a PAID user, I'm quite shocked and disappointed in Adam's childish behaviour. Users of Observium should be concerned that their continued investment could be a loosing path as more people move AWAY from the product and go support other packages. On two lists that I saw the above URL, not less than 3 dozen people said they where removing observium and not renewing their annual subscriptions. I suspect that will become a trend. Cheers

Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted during the pooling for one host
by dorje2007＠seznam.cz 05 Apr '15

Hi one host cannot finish the pooling procedure, even though i run it separateley: ./poller.php -h router_host_name -d ..... ..... including: includes/polling/cipsec-tunnels.inc.php after that a lot of messages of this kind: ..... cipSecTunStatus.3157 = active cipSecTunStatus.3158 = active cipSecTunStatus.3159 = active cipSecTunStatus.3160 = active ..... Then the pooling terminates with: SNMP_STATUS[TRUE] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 256 bytes) in /opt/observium/includes/snmp.inc.php on line 654 Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 256 bytes) in /opt/observium/includes/snmp.inc.php on line 654 I increased the memory limit to 256 MB in the php.ini, however still does not work.

Alerting Contacts
by Johnston, Tom 03 Apr '15

03 Apr '15

Hello, Does anyone know if it is possible at current status to have alerting sent to multiple users. Say I want only Cisco IOS devices to get alerts at an email and Windows devices to get alerts at a different email. Is that level of granularity built in at present or on the way at all? Right now my sys admin and I don’t need each others alerts… Thanks in advance.

Re: [Observium] Alerting Contacts
by ron＠rjr-services.com 03 Apr '15

03 Apr '15

I'm sure Adam or others will correct me if necessary, but I seem to recall the documentation saying you can do that by specifying <email address> as part of the SNMP contact value on the device, and whatever you put in config.php will cover those devices that don't have an email address specified in the device snmp contact value. I could be wrong, it's been several weeks since I last read that part of the documentation.

Constant 'reboot' messages for all devices with no uptime counter
by Robert Williams 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

Hi, All of our devices which have no uptime counter (such as IP PDUs and temperature sensors for example) are constantly showing as having ‘rebooted’ every single time they are polled. The issue seems to have started on 27/03/15 at our 6AM SVN up – so whatever revision was released at that time. Since we have a very large number of these devices, the net result of this is a pretty useless eventlog ☺ Like this: [cid:image001.png@01D06CA4.83A8D2A0] …and so on… For each devices they have (always) shown this for Uptime: [cid:image002.png@01D06CA4.83A8D2A0] Since the devices do not have any uptime counters on them. Can I filter/disable/stop these events for these devices somehow? Cheers! Robert Williams Custodian Data Centre Email: Robert(a)CustodianDC.com http://www.CustodianDC.com

dns_get_record or why PHP sucks
by Sir l33tname 01 Apr '15

01 Apr '15

Hey, I guess I have found a bug. In ./includes/common.inc.php on the function gethostbynamel6. The problem is this one: *query the A record:* var_dump(dns_get_record($host, DNS_A)); array(1) { [0]=> array(5) { ["host"]=> string(14) "host.name.tdl" ["class"]=> string(2) "IN" ["ttl"]=> int(0) ["type"]=> string(1) "A" ["ip"]=> string(12) "192.168.17.2" } } *query the AAAA record:* var_dump(dns_get_record($host, DNS_AAAA)); PHP Warning:dns_get_record():DNS Queryfailed infile.php on line 4 bool(false) *query both together* var_dump(dns_get_record($host, DNS_A + DNS_AAAA)); PHP Warning:dns_get_record():DNS Queryfailed infile.php on line 4 bool(false) As you can see if the DNS server doesn't have a AAAA record it fails, this cause for me the error that I couldn't add a new device to the observium. I build a prototype code which could be a solution for this problem but since I'm not a good php programmer I'm sure there is a smarter way for this. $A_record = dns_get_record($host, DNS_A); $AAAA_record = dns_get_record($host, DNS_AAAA); if($A_record != false && $AAAA_record != false) { $record = array_merge($A_record, $AAAA_record); } else if($A_record == false) { $record = $AAAA_record; } else if($AAAA_record == false) { $record = $A_record; } else { #show some error } Since I did all the research it should be fairly easy to fix this, so I hope someone will do it. If you need anything more to fix it please ask. A few things I noticed in the debugging process and totally unrelated to the problem: - the name gethostbyname6 is a bit confusing since it does both I would rename it to gethostbyname - same goes for $try_a I personally would pick a more descriptive name - "Could not resolve $host" in ./includes/functions.inc.php and ./includes/functions.inc_d.php, since It took me some time to figure out what this means I would add something like "Could not resolve $host with your DNS or your Hosts file" But all in all it's a nice code base for a php project, well done! For the case I'm wrong please tell me why. l33tname

match port_id with rrd graphs
by Zhenhui Liang 30 Mar '15

30 Mar '15

Hi, I would like to do some rrdtool fetch against the raw rrd files observium generated to get some reports. But I couldn’t figure out how to match the portid or device_id from observium tables to get the correct path to match to the rrd files. Rrd files location seemed to be at ~observium/rrd/devicenames. But the rrd file name like port-123.rrd, 123 seems not to be the port_id in the ports table. Rather it’s device specific. Thank you very much for your help. —Zhenhui

snmp crash on nexus 7k when polling certain OID
by Steve Costaras 29 Mar '15

29 Mar '15

I'm running observium CE 0.14.11.6000. We just ran into an interesting problem on a Nexus 7K running 6.2(12) code. When observium polls the device, the snmp process crashes and reloads (this happens with every 5 minute poll). Managed to track it down to a specific OID that's causing it: 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.91.1.1.1.1.4.22809 It takes less than a second to reload the snmp process on the 7K; we're engaging cisco to see about a fix, but in the interim besides disabling the device, is there a specific way to block/not poll this particular OID? Older nexus code appears to not have this problem as. Steve

New user - I apologize in advance if I am asking stupid questions
by Rich Elwell 29 Mar '15

29 Mar '15

Greetings, I've recently installed observium and find that it is a great tool. Kudos for developing something so useful and easy to use. I do have a couple of questions. I desire to set the device_id for some of the devices to a specific value. This is not supported in the interface. It looks like I *should* be able to modify the code to allow me to do this, but before I do I wanted to check and see if there is already a way for me to accomplish this without having to modify the code. I also desire to be able to add devices programatically via an API call from an external system. I looked over the existing simple API (not extensively) but it didn't seem like that was possible. So basically I want to be able to do something like: http://myserver/api.php?mydetails&including&device_id and have it add the device while specifying the device_id. Is that possible? If not, I'm probably going to build it. Thanks, Rich -- Rich Elwell, MS, CISSP, GCIA, CCNA, CCNA Security /dev/null security ⋅ network *nix administration

ISSUES/BUg with regards to collect_table Implementation - Suggested Code Changes
by Mark Gibbons 29 Mar '15

29 Mar '15

Hi (especially adam - can you take a read please) Background I have been working on integrating support for Ubiquiti wireless products so that wireless stats can be shown on the "wireless" graph page for these devices. I created routines to process the mibs in /include/polling/graphs using the original loop method to parse the mib to generate and populate the RRD's and everything is working absolutely fine. I will of course submit this work for inclusion once tested/verified fully. However, i read the README (you see people do read README's!!!!!!!!!!): "Please make sure you use the *new* format of graphing poller. Generate a $graph_defs array to be used in collect_table." And i thought I would have a go at the $table_def method. So I defined the MIB as per $tabledef and come across issues with multi indexed oids. In this instance from a MIB walk we have two oids as follows: ubntRadioRssi.1.1 ubntRadioRssi.1.2 So i put the following in table_def: 'ubntRadioRssi.1' => array('index' => '1', 'descr' => 'RSSI Chain 0', 'ds_type' => 'GAUGE', 'ds_name' => 'RadioRssi_0'), 'ubntRadioRssi.1' => array('index' => '2', 'descr' => 'RSSI Chain 1', 'ds_type' => 'GAUGE', 'ds_name' => 'RadioRssi_1'), But, of course, (knowing what i know now) this does not work because the array index is the same and you only get the last entry. So i thought try with a blank index specifying the full oid: 'ubntRadioRssi.1.1' => array('index' => '', 'descr' => 'RSSI Chain 0', 'ds_type' => 'GAUGE', 'ds_name' => 'RadioRssi_0'), 'ubntRadioRssi.1.2' => array('index' => '', 'descr' => 'RSSI Chain 1', 'ds_type' => 'GAUGE', 'ds_name' => 'RadioRssi_1'), But this didn't work so I investgated. The issues surround the handling of the separation of oid and index in both collect table AND snmp_get_multi. Let me Deal with snmp_get_multi first. Snmp_get multi expects an array of full oid's - great. However it spits back an array of oids and index separated. Because you use explode to breakup the oid it will only ever return the first index after the first "." rather than the full index after the first "." I am talking about this code at approx Line 464 in /includes/snmp.inc.php foreach (explode("\n", $data) as $entry) { list($oid,$value) = explode("=", $entry, 2); $oid = trim($oid); $value = trim($value); list($oid, $index) = explode(".", $oid); if (!strstr($value, "at this OID") && isset($oid) && isset($index)) { $array[$index][$oid] = $value; } } This can be corrected if you change it to the following code. In this case the base oid is returned with the FULL index in the index. I can't see that this could/would break other stuff but your experience would know better!! : foreach (explode("\n", $data) as $entry) { list($oid,$value) = explode("=", $entry, 2); $oid = trim($oid); $value = trim($value); $dotpos = strpos($oid, '.'); if ($dotpos != FALSE) { $index = substr($oid, $dotpos+1); $oid = substr($oid, 0, $dotpos); } //list($oid, $index) = explode(".", $oid); if (!strstr($value, "at this OID") && isset($oid) && isset($index)) { $array[$index][$oid] = $value; } } So the next issue is index handling within collect_table and the temporary index of oids created to generate rrdupdate. Current code is at approx 898 in /includes/polling/functions.inc.php: $oids[] = $oid.'.'.$entry['index']; $oids_index[] = array('index' => $entry['index'], 'oid' => $oid); Again if this is changed to the following so that oid and index is re-split like the return from snmp_get_multi we have a working solution where you can specify the full oid as an index for the oid array in table_def with an oid index of '' (blank): if ($entry['index'] != '') { $fulloid = $oid.'.'.$entry['index']; } else { $fulloid = $oid; } $oids[] = $fulloid; $dotpos = strpos($fulloid, '.'); if ($dotpos != FALSE) { $splitindex = substr($fulloid, $dotpos+1); $splitoid = substr($fulloid, 0, $dotpos); } //$oids_index[] = array('index' => $entry['index'], 'oid' => $oid); $oids_index[] = array('index' => $splitindex, 'oid' => $splitoid); So this is a possible solution to the multiple index problem on an oid. By specifying the full oid with blank index. What do you think? Seems like a Win/Win to me but my experience of Observium php code and structure is < 1 week. At least this solution means we can use the table_def method for us but it would mean a lot of maintenance with svn updates. Hope this solution is of possible interest for inclusion. KR's Mark

Cronjobs in polling the devices

26 Mar '15

Hi there, I would like to inquire about the desired minimum cron jobs that are accepted in observium. I only have a Quad Core Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5405 @ 2.00GHz CPU resources available currently managing 69 HOSTS/Devices. My current setting in /etc/cron.d/observium is */10 * * * * root /opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py 4 >> /dev/null 2>&1 */10 * * * * root /opt/observium/poller.php -h all >> /dev/null 2>&1 Can I comment out the 2nd line -> */10 * * * * root /opt/observium/poller.php -h all >> /dev/null 2>&1 ??

Hi folks, we have an alert that triggers when certain ports hit >85% utilisation being triggered by a single device on a regular basis as it seems to get rewalked quite often, which briefly sets the speed of the monitored ports to 0 which then triggers the alert as any utilisation over 0 is >85% :). The device is a Brocade CES, but it is the only one in our fleet that suffers from this rediscover > trigger alert issue. Though the others also seem to rediscover more often than is necessary. Any thoughts on how I might figure out what is going on so I can fix it? Thanks, Chris

I'm trying to get my alerts working but until now without success. I have put a server down, and i know some systems have a disk that is full about 80% I have followed the http://www.observium.org/wiki/Creating_an_Alert_Checker and created some alert according to the examples, and run the regenerate. Test mails are successfully send from the command line. but no luck, can anyone please advice on this matter?

howto control ports
by J.P.M.H. Geerets 24 Mar '15

24 Mar '15

Hi folks, Bit new here. Have an observium (community edition) install in test environment. Is het possible to creat my own ports to test on? Want to test for example ports on a cloverleaf (communication) server to check orm messages etc. Also wanna check dicomports, mostly on 104. Any idea how to do this with observium?

LDAP changes in the Professional version?
by George Phillips 23 Mar '15

23 Mar '15

Hi folks! I tried searching the list but didn’t see anything promising... I had LDAP auth setup and working great on the Community version, but as soon as I upgraded to Professional (version 0.15.3.6343), it ceased allowing logins. A debug of the login shows: LDAP[Connecting to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] LDAP[Connected] LDAP[Referrals][Disabled] LDAP[Version][Set to 3] LDAP[Bind DN called] LDAP[Bind][cn=manager,ou=Internal,dc=example,dc=com] LDAP[Filter][(uid=testuser)][ou=Users,ou=Accounts,dc=example,dc=com] LDAP[Authenticate][User: testuser][Bind user: cn=Test User,ou=Users,ou=Accounts,dc=example,dc=com] LDAP[Authenticate][Comparing: cn=admins,ou=Groups,ou=Accounts,dc=example,dc=com][member=cn=Test User,ou=Users,ou=Accounts,dc=example,dc=com] LDAP[Authenticate][Compare LDAP error: No such object] So this part looked a bit strange to me: LDAP[Authenticate][Comparing: cn=admins,ou=Groups,ou=Accounts,dc=example,dc=com][member=cn=Test User,ou=Users,ou=Accounts,dc=example,dc=com] (notice the strange "member=cn=…" part) My config is: // Begin LDAP Config $config['auth_mechanism'] = "ldap"; $config['auth_ldap_starttls'] = FALSE; $config['auth_ldap_binddn'] = "cn=manager,ou=Internal,dc=example,dc=com"; $config['auth_ldap_bindpw'] = “PASSWORD_HERE"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['uid'] = "uid"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['uidNumber'] = "uidNumber"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['cn'] = "cn"; $config['auth_ldap_objectclass'] = "inetOrgPerson"; $config['auth_ldap_version'] = 3; $config['auth_ldap_server'] = “LDAP_SERVER_IP"; $config['auth_ldap_port'] = 389; $config['auth_ldap_prefix'] = "cn="; $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",ou=Users,ou=Accounts,dc=example,dc=com"; $config['auth_ldap_group'] = array("cn=admins,ou=Groups,ou=Accounts,dc=example,dc=com"); $config['auth_ldap_groupbase'] = "ou=Groups,ou=Accounts,dc=example,dc=com"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmembertype'] = "fulldn"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmemberattr'] = "member"; unset($config['auth_ldap_groups']); $config['auth_ldap_groups']['admins']['level'] = 10; // End LDAP Config Again, this same config works like a champ on the community edition. Did something change with LDAP auth in the professional edition? Am I missing something? Thanks! —George George Phillips www.pfsense.org

Request for more info from Allied Telesis AW+ switches
by Daniel Olynsma 23 Mar '15

23 Mar '15

Hi All, I use Observium daily to monitor various test networks and have noticed limited support for AlliedwarePlus products. I have done some digging round in the MIBs as well as the Observium php files and found that Observium is only extracting the Software version from AT-SETUP-MIB in the file: /opt/observium/includes/polling/os$ cat alliedwareplus.inc.php I would like to request that this be increased to contain more device information. I have found that the HW, serial No etc.. info is available in the AT-RESOURCE-MIB. I have not attached the MIB file as it is already part of Observium. Please find below some experiments that I have done extracting the info. I have conducted experiments on standalone as well as a 'stacked' product consisting of 8 physical switches (rscBoardName).

BUG: (and Fix) in poll-billing.php - snmp v1 issue
by Mark Gibbons 23 Mar '15

23 Mar '15

Hi We upgraded to the PRO version last week so that we could look at the billing feature. We did all the needed setup stuff including install of jdgraph etc and added the required cron jobs. We created a few tests bills on a couple of ports We left it for a few hours and got absolutely nothing. We ran poll-billing manually and kept on seeing that it returned "No Data" We searched online and believe that this bug might be referenced here: http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBSERVIUM-711 We enabled OBS_DEBUG in poll-billing.php and immediately could see the problem. The snmpget command was being invoked requesting v2 High Capacity counters against snmp v1 targets. The reason is that the conditional clause when building the snmpget command is wrong. Currently line 86 reads: if ($port['snmp_version'] == "1" || $port['port_64bit'] == "0") { However the snmpv1 string that should be looked for is "v1" not "1". Changing the clause to: if ($port['snmp_version'] == "v1" || $port['port_64bit'] == "0") { Solves all the problems and poll-billing then correctly returns data from snmp v1 devices. Can the please be fixed in an upcoming SVN release so we do not have to reapply the fix if poll-billing.php gets changed for other reasons. KR's Mark

hi guys, just registered to address a missing info in lighttpd installiation tutorial. "python-mysqldb" package is not in the list of prerequisite packages and what i see is it's required to run the cron "*/5 * * * * root /opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py 2 >> /dev/null 2>&1" if you can edit the tutorial, people who uses lighttpd will be able to see graphs with data. thanks for all your hard work.

Duplicate device neighbour entries
by Chard, Alex (RET-SYD) 23 Mar '15

23 Mar '15

HI All, Just wondering is anyone has seen this happening before. We have switches that run LLDP and CDP. On most switches, Observium correctly determines that the neighbour entries for each protocol are identical and ignores the second one from LLDP. However on one switch, it's decided that it represents a separate connection (see attachment) I suspect it has to do with the differing port ID, but Observium seems to be able to reconcile that on other switches. Any ideas? Thanks, Alex This e-mail is for the use of the intended recipient(s) only. If you have received this e-mail in error, please notify the sender immediately and then delete it.

Critical alert not matching alerts checker
by Robert Williams 22 Mar '15

22 Mar '15

Hi All, I have a device a Cisco 2960G with a failed internal PSU that has switched to it’s backup RPS supply. Observium is correctly identifying this as ‘critical’ under the Status Indicators for the device in question (image below): [cid:image001.png@01D064D0.36501EE0] There is a “Hardware Fault” event I have created which /should/ have matched this, I believe: [cid:image002.png@01D064D0.36501EE0] (I’ve added the match for value = critical as a test, it wasn’t there originally) This alert checker correctly matches a who load of devices and status checkers on many devices (1691 in total, all green): [cid:image003.png@01D064D0.36501EE0] However, for this particular type of sensor, it does not see any sensors which match the “Hardware Fault” checker. As you can see, I have already removed all the “Device Match” and “Entity Match” criteria from the checker itself to rule that out. So essentially this checker is matching every type of sensor that there is (except, obviously, the one which I want it to). When I click the link on the graph for “Sw1, PS1 Critical, RPS Normal” sensor I get this URL http://observium-server/device/device=343/tab=health/metric=status/ which may be of use in helping diagnose this. After doing some more checking, I’ve found that it is not matching any other kind of sensor with a similar class, for example it does not match the WS-CAC-4000W-IN power supplies in any of the Cat6k chassis either. In fact, I think it’s actually failing to match sensors which have ‘normal’ and ‘critical’ type statuses, instead of ‘true’ and ‘false’ So the following sensors highlighted in yellow are also being missed from matching in this generic alerting config: [cid:image004.png@01D064D1.B26D89D0] So I believe it’s a wider issue and not just related to this one device. Can someone confirm what I’m doing wrong and/or maybe check to see if your alerting configurations can match sensors which have an OK state of ‘normal’ instead of ‘true’? Cheers!

Down ports but can't see them
by Chard, Alex (RET-SYD) 20 Mar '15

Hi All, Got an interesting issue... Observium's dashboard shows 2 down ports [cid:image001.png@01D06344.0CB21DF0] But clicking on "2 down" takes me to a screen that shows no down ports: [cid:image002.png@01D06344.0CB21DF0] If I have any more than 2 down ports, they are displayed correctly. Any idea how I can identify the offending ports? Thanks, Alex This e-mail is for the use of the intended recipient(s) only.

tons of rrd zombie processes + solution

Hi, FYI on PHP 5.5 we saw a lot of defunt rrdtool proceeses (1 for every image created in the browser). If you see this there are a couple of fixes/work-around: 1. Fix it in observium, open ./includes/rrdtool.inc.php and change *function rrdtool_pipe_close(&$rrd_process, &$rrd_pipes)* to *function rrdtool_pipe_close($rrd_process, &$rrd_pipes)* 2. downgrade to PHP 5.4 Seems to be caused by https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69014 Regards, Gerwin Krist

by Gert-Jan de Boer 16 Mar '15

16 Mar '15

Hi, A while ago I posted this patch to Jira, after some brief discussion I didn't hear back about it. I would like to add some more notification backends (for example Slack integration), is there any reason why this would not be accepted? The patch is under http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBSERVIUM-1194 Kind regards, GJ

MySQL/Apache apps
by Asensio Sánchez, Juan 16 Mar '15

Hi We have just installed Observium from SVN, added some hosts, and almost everything seems to work fine. We have some MySQL servers, and followed the instructions to get the graphs. Running observium_agent in the MySQL server, I get the <<<mysql>>> section. Doing telnet to the MySQL server from the Observium server, to the agent port, I get the same section, but I don't get any data in the device page. Any advice? The same happens with the Apache servers. Regards.

adding private ip address
by Tshering DHENDUP 14 Mar '15

14 Mar '15

Dear Team, We are trying to add private IP address to the observium. Our picture: the observium server is having a private IP address tho' NATed to a public ip address. I am trying to add the private IP( of a switch/router), and it gives me the following error Try to add 192.168.128.1: Could not resolve 192.168.128.1. Devices skipped: 1. Does this mean that, the devices can't be added using their IP? Or should the IP be DNS mapped( resolvable )?

Munin Alerts.
by Dudu 11 Mar '15

11 Mar '15

Hi All, I have successfully moved a munin under Observium which is very good. One thing that a little bit difficult for me is understanding the alerts part. All the alert examples are reasonable but how would I know if it's possible to alert on Munin Data or other things for example a faulty power supply. Can we alert based on Munin data? Thank you all David

Thank You. I do agree with you that an IPMI does add a lot of things but I found that the agent+IPMI check provide even more info, One thing that I don't if possible is actually creating an alarm while there is a hardware failure, With Idrac snmp you can do that with one snmpwalk command.

Hi All, I just bought a subscription and I'm very pleased with the product. While I started to add devices I asked my self why not adding the Dell Idrac? So I did add it but all I can see is a network stuff maybe I'm missing something. The most important part of the IDRAC 7 and above is the led status of the server if the led is amber there is a hardware issue.
