Graphs not drawing after latest update
by Mahomed Hussein 08 Jul '14

08 Jul '14

Hi I wonder if someone can help point me in the right direction as to how I can fix an issue with graphs not drawing. We updated to 0.14.6.5588 this morning and I’ve noticed that some graphs are not drawing. We haven’t had any issues with the server and it has been up for 49 days. I’m not sure where to start. So far I’ve tried another SVN update (in case there was a quick fix) and rebooted the server (out of desperation/hope more than anything else). Please let me know if you require any other info. Thanks in advance for any assistance. A couple of screenshots are below.

health/overview page is there a way to change what is presented?
by Steve Costaras 05 Jul '14

05 Jul '14

I am using observium community edition to monitor a couple systems. Noticed a couple items that seem to make some of the graphs not too useful. The health / Overview section for file systems is the first. It shows file systems with no problem, however it's graphing the file systems based on their percentage used NOT their used byte size. I don't know how others are using this, but here we grow file systems frequently which this produces graphs like the attached. Is there a way to either change what metric is graphed (bytes/ not percentage) or have a another overview graph of file systems with capacity used. This gets much more important with ZFS when you add new vdev's or expand them as like the graph will expand all filesystems on that pool which doesn't seem to be too useful and there can be hundreds. Another question on the same page is the operations/second graphs. This is displaying data twice or more when you are using device mapper you see both the sd* devices as well as the dm-* devices. This is very bad when you're talking about 100's of physical drives (seeing 200 or more depending on how you have it set up with partitions devices). Is there a way to filter out dm-* devices so only sd* ones are calculated/graphed? Steve

There are no undocumented metrics. You have to request them. :) You can't check a service inside a vserver, as the entities don't work that way. You can, however, check the status of a service independently. Adam. Martin Smith wrote:

syslog -> cleaning the database...
by Xavier Beaudouin 30 Jun '14

30 Jun '14

Hi There, Looking after a reason why I got soooooo long time to see some firewall I saw that despite the // Syslog stuff $config['enable_syslog'] = 1; $config['syslog_age'] = "1 month"; On configuration, the old syslog informations are not deleted. I created a small php script to clean that (using crontab), do you like to have this contrib ? (It is somewhat easy, but if you don't have time to make that, then, I will be pleased to create a jira with this file). /Xavier

Odd issue with Syslog collection
by Anthony Mattke 27 Jun '14

27 Jun '14

On a recent install of observium, I’ve noticed some oddities with Syslog collection… Some devices are being collected just fine, but others are not. In the example screenshot included below, my firewall ***10, and one switch ***04 are both being collected just fine. But the switches 75***** and *****50 are not. http://i.imgur.com/nxupFzJ.png One thing I noticed was that someone had turned on “service sequence-numbers” on the ****04 switch. (The ASA has no such feature that I know of.. ) When I disabled this service, the collection stopped working on that device! Example here…http://i.imgur.com/HViWcTk.png Thoughts? Thanks!! -Tony

ios-xr etc syslog
by Rob VanHooren 26 Jun '14

26 Jun '14

to make it go away, could try getting rid of the "service log sequence numbers" (or whatever exact syntax it is) in the device's ios config if you don't need the sequence numbering for audit, that's easier than trying to hack in a new syslog-ng.conf template. luck, R.

Syslog parsing: Issue from IOS XR devices
by Senses0 26 Jun '14

26 Jun '14

Hi, I have few devices running Cisco IOS XR. I am sending syslog messages from all devices to Observium. Everything is fine except for the log messages sent by routers running IOS XR. Instead of log Program name, messages sent by XR devices contain an incrementing sequence number, which is being parsed as log Program (Incrementing sequence number being parsed as syslog program = bad. real bad). The actual program name appears much later within the message. I have gone through the sylog configuration guide for XR routers. Couldnt find anything that would alter the message format of what is being sent. I also configured "logging facility syslog" in XR devices, but that didnt resolve the issue. To better explain my situation, I have attached a screenshot. Hopefully it would help. Oh and I am subscriber :) Thanks, Senn

nxos syslog
by Rob VanHooren 24 Jun '14

24 Jun '14

is the nexus' L3 in the global (default) vrf? if *not* then it won't (easily?) work until cisco fixes the (being kind here) "oddball way" that mib exposure happens on the nxos platform. a workaround could be to map out things with snmp contexts that tie in a string per vrf ... but imo that doesn't scale effectively. join the party: go beat up TAC and your sales rep. for how stupid their implementation -- of something pretty fundamental -- is. luck, R.

Timeout: No Response from xxxx
by George 24 Jun '14

24 Jun '14

Hi, I have latest observium installed and running on a Ubuntu 12.04.4 server and am trying to add another same Ubuntu server to the observium server. I've set up snmpd on the target host. When I run the snmpstatus command from the observium server I get a Timeour: No Response. I've installed the mibs and everything else according to the docs. I can see in the syslog of the target host that the observium server hits it. I can run successfully snmpstatus on the target host and query itself. I can run snmpstatus successfully from another CentOS server. It works from everywhere except the observium server. There are no firewalls involved. Am I doing anything wrong? What info can I send you to help me debug it. Please help Thanks

Syslog from NX-OS device

HP-Switch: device traffic graphs of new modules
by Wiethoff, Helge 24 Jun '14

24 Jun '14

Hi all, I have a problem with the "Device Traffic"-Graph in Observium (r5581) since I inserted two modules 22Ports (J9536A) into the backplane of a HP 5406zl. It is not plotted anymore as you can see in the attached device-traffic.png. The Error-Message from RRDTool is: RRDTool Output: ERROR: mmaping file '/srv/observium/rrd/x-fra01.tfhbo.de/port-97.rrd': Invalid argument. The file port-97.rrd is empty, but observium added the Ports yesterday. Eventlog: 23-06-2014 18:37:13 Inventory Inventory added: class port, name Port F22, index 217 .... and so on. Maybe it is just a side-effect: All of the other new Ports, are not plotted, too. Any suggestions? (Except buying a "real" switch... ;-)) Bye, Helge ________________________________ Helge Wiethoff Medienzentrum Telefon: +49 (234) 968 8717 Fax: +49 (234) 968 3453 E-Mail: Wiethoff(a)tfh-bochum.de Technische Fachhochschule Georg Agricola für Rohstoff, Energie und Umwelt zu Bochum Staatlich anerkannte Fachhochschule der DMT-Gesellschaft für Lehre und Bildung mbH Herner Straße 45 44787 Bochum http://www.tfh-bochum.de ________________________________ Träger: DMT-Gesellschaft für Lehre und Bildung mbH Sitz der Gesellschaft: Bochum Registergericht: Amtsgericht Bochum Handelsregister: B 4052 Geschäftsführung: Prof. Dr. Jürgen Kretschmann (Vorsitzender) Manfred Freitag

What you can do to get the optical levels for 1G interfaces (or 10G interfaces on older FPCs in the M/T) is extend the Juniper MIB and run the commands in Junos using a script. I tried doing this some time ago, just never got it finished. Regards, Rutger

May be a dedicated page / second expand ? ( running latest updated version ) Raphael

Disable Device Alerting
by Travis Kreikemeier 21 Jun '14

21 Jun '14

I have the new alerting in Observium setup for many events, including device down. However, over some of our wireless links I am getting false positives, so I turned up the ping retries to 3 times. Still happening, so I set the device down delay to 2. That has helped, however I am still getting the old school device alerting system emails. How can I disable those? I have port utilization disabled ($config['alerts']['port_util_alert']), etc. But I can't find anything in any docs or searches for disabling device down alerting in the old alerting system. Any help is appreciated, thanks! TRAVIS KREIKEMEIER

LDAP authentication and user id mapping (user sees no devices)
by Branzko, Matthias 20 Jun '14

20 Jun '14

Hello all, in the moment I try to switch from mysql to LDAP authentication (AD). The LDAP connection seems to work. I can logon to observium using my LDAP credentials. But the user mapping to permissions does not work. In observium the user sees no devices. The mapping is set as follows: $config['auth_ldap_groups']['Observium_Admin']['level'] = 10; $config['auth_ldap_groups']['Observium_User']['level'] = 1; In Wireshark I could see that the right group (Observium_Admin) was matched. Debug shows something like: SELECT * FROM `entity_permissions` WHERE `user_id` = '-1' SELECT `value` FROM `users_prefs` WHERE `user_id` = '-1' AND `pref` = 'atom_key' What to try next? Thanks, Matthias

SysobjectID for AIX
by Teixeira, Mike 20 Jun '14

20 Jun '14

Hello, I compiled net-snmp for AIX on my two AIX 5.3 servers. Since doing so the sysobjectid now returns net-snmp.aix rather than one that designates for AIX. I can set the sysobjectid in the snmp.conf. I have been looking for what to set that to so observium knows that it is an AIX server rather than a generic server. Does anyone have the oid that reflects AIX for sysobjectid? Thanks, Mike

No VRFs being discovered on Cisco 3750 Stacks
by Matthew A Harper 19 Jun '14

19 Jun '14

Hi Guys, Recently I've started monitoring some of our edge routers using Observium and have found that VRFs don't appear to get found during discovery. I found an old post from last year where Adam advised that VRF tracking in Observium is currently considered "broken and unstable". (http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.observium.general/3159). Here is a snip from a discovery of one of our edge devices running a handful of VRFs: dot1d id ifIndex Port Name Priority State Cost 504 5003 Port-channel3 128 forwarding 3 Cisco Pseudowires : VRFs : SLAs : UCD Disk IO : Discovered in 6.686 seconds I'm guessing this may be a lower priority to devs at the moment but it is something we'd be requiring before we can fully move away from our other unnamed/expensive monitoring solution as we need to enable alerting for BGP instances bound to specific VRFs. If this is still an ongoing issue is this perhaps something we could offer the devs financial incentive in the form of donations to bump the priority a bit? Alternatively if this has since been patched am I doing something wrong? I have the following enabled in my global config (and confirmed on the devices under modules): $config['enable_vrfs'] = 1; cisco-vrf enabled enabled Kind regards, Matt Harper Network Analyst | ICT Operations Information Technology Branch | Department of Transport and Main Roads Floor 4 | Transport House | 230 Brunswick Street | Fortitude Valley Qld 4006 PO Box 673 | Fortitude Valley Qld 4006 P: (07) 30661125 | F: (07) 30662044 E: matthew.a.harper(a)tmr.qld.gov.au<mailto:matthew.a.harper@tmr.qld.gov.au> W: www.tmr.qld.gov.au<http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/> *********************************************************************** WARNING: This email (including any attachments) may contain legally privileged, confidential or private information and may be protected by copyright.

ppp0 and tun0 shown as down
by Pieter De Wit 17 Jun '14

Hi List, We currently monitor some dd-wrt devices. Observium is showing tun0 and ppp0 as down. I am guessing this is due to the interface speed set to 0. Is there a way to bypass this check ? It does look a bit weird to have a down interface with traffic on it. We are currently running the community ed. Changing to pro soon. Thanks, Pieter

Re: [Observium] Observium] Alerting/Entity type changes

Yeah, you are confused. Humidity is an example. Rather than alerts being created for 'sensors' they can now be created for 'temperature' or other sensor types directly. Also, humidity is important in a data centre environment, and is monitored by a lot of environmental monitoring systems along with temperature. Adam.

DRBD with Unix Agent, doesn't show data on Graphics
by Ximena Cardinali 16 Jun '14

16 Jun '14

Hello, I have implemented the DRBD with the Unix Agent on one of the nodes of our Storage Cluster but sadly I cannot see any Info on the Graphics in Observium. Agent is running ok on the Server.

Smokeping, Rancid and Observium
by Teixeira, Mike 13 Jun '14

13 Jun '14

Yeah you are hijacking a thread, but whatever. I'll change the subject line and start a new thread :) I have rancid and websvn running on the same box. That box is separate from observium. I did this because I wanted rancid to run on a vm. Having it on a VM gives me somewhat of redundancy. Depending on the number of threads and number of devices you give rancid, it could interfere with observium. The server that runs observium comes into play as well. The more devices and more ports you have, the more threads you need. Observium is much more important to me than rancid; however, rancid is really important. That is another reason why I separated them. Then I have an NFS mount between rancid and observium so it can see rancid. I don't have a history of configurations in observium. I am not sure how that works. That's where websvn excels. With websvn the network guys can see what changed between revisions. So with websvn, I didn't spend much time on setting up history of configuration changes in observium. I haven't setup smokeping. The network guys always tell me they don't care about icmp testing to determine latency. Mainly because some routers/switches, that participate in QoS, will make icmp lowest priority and put the router traffic, voice traffic, and sometimes video traffic (depending on the device) higher priority. The part that I love though is when I am working with them to troubleshoot a network problem, they want a trace route. I always say to them well I thought you didn't care about icmp and trace route uses icmp. :) Inside observium in the graph section of the device in the subsection of poller, it shows icmp response. I think that is enough for me and the network guys.

Overview of VLANs

Hey everybody, in nedi there is a nice feature where I can see all devices (and ports) with a specific vlan on a map. Is there any similar feature in observium which I just missed to find? Would it be possible to extend the search on the ports-page to also specify VLANs? Would you accept external patches for stuff like this? I also wrote a small extension for querying the number of active connections on a FWSM (and possibly ASA). Is there interest to get this upstream? lg /Steffen -- Steffen Klemer E-Mail: Steffen.Klemer(a)gwdg.de Tel: +49 551 39 172361 __________________________________________________________________ GWDG Am Fassberg 11, 37077 Göttingen URL: http://www.gwdg.de E-Mail: gwdg(a)gwdg.de Tel.: +49 (0)551 201-1510 Fax: +49 (0)551 201-2150 Geschäftsführer: Prof. Dr. Ramin Yahyapour Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Dipl.-Kfm.

Pagination of Ports > Customers

Hi, Currently I have about 100 devices and 8000+ ports (dot1q sub interfaces, pseudowires, etc). I don't have any performance issues. But... Currently I have 300+ interfaces classified as "customer". It takes about 9 seconds for the page to load because everything get loaded all at once. My actual customer interfaces would easily exceed 1000. Is there a way I can paginate Ports > Customers? Much like how it's presented in Ports > All Ports? Or is this something that is currently not possible? Thanks

Rancid SVN diffs not showing

I set Rancid up with SVN instead, but when I make a change and re-run "rancid-run" there is still only the "Latest" tab in observium. I know that observium only goes into the directory and retrieves the configurations and displays it, but how do I display the older version? Rancid configs need to have identical names to the host devices in observium.... If I point observium to search for configs in "$config['rancid_configs'][] = '/usr/local/rancid/var/networking/configs';" how does it know which is old and new? Or is there something I'm missing?

It might also be an OpenSUSE default. I read somewhere that this would be a 'feature' of recent versions of mysql. I could only get rid of it with an explicit sql-mode="" in my.cnf whereas I couldn't find another config file anywhere on the system.

observium does not work with recent versions of MySQL
by Steffen Klemer 06 Jun '14

06 Jun '14

Hey everybody, I don't know whether this already came up, but with recent versions of mysql (like in the latest openSUSE) many features (VLANs, Ports, Routing, Events) of observium are no longer accessible. This is because of a new default "sql_mode = strict_trans_tables" which don't longer allow constructs like INSERT INTO `ports-state` (`port_id`) VALUES ('4713') in tables without default values for the other columns. The solution was a sql-mode="" in my.cnf. I suppose this will sooner or later also hit Debian/ Ubuntu. Perhaps you might fix this in one of the following versions? Otherwise observium over fulfilled all my needs and wishes. Thank you for this wonderful piece of software! cheers /Steffen -- Steffen Klemer E-Mail: Steffen.Klemer(a)gwdg.de Tel: +49 551 39 172361 __________________________________________________________________ GWDG Am Fassberg 11, 37077 Göttingen URL: http://www.gwdg.de E-Mail: gwdg(a)gwdg.de Tel.: +49 (0)551 201-1510 Fax: +49 (0)551 201-2150 Geschäftsführer: Prof. Dr. Ramin Yahyapour Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Dipl.-Kfm.

Background is a strange feeling that some MIBs are not used at all - so the second question is: how to validate that Observium uses the correct ones so I can verify either that I've done something incomplete or the affected MIBs are not valid or incomplete at all. Thanks in advance! Björn

Graphing Apple Airport traffic
by Steve Evans 01 Jun '14

01 Jun '14

Firstly, I have to say how impressed I am with the clean, purposeful implementation of Observium. One of the main reasons I was looking for such an SNMP network manager was to monitor my four apple airport base stations. Whilst Observium recognises such devices, and graphs the wirelessNumber from the AIRPORT-BASESTATION-3-MIB if does not graph the corresponding physicalInterfacesTable traffic. Whilst the ifTable is graphed this doesn't actually include the wireless connections. This information would be very useful to determine how many packets are being passed on the wireless interface and at what speed. I've yet to dig into the structure of the code much, but presumably the physicalInterfacesTable could be logged/graphed using code very similar to that used for the ifTable. Something that would also be very useful, would be to list the currently attached clients which could be reported in a similar manner to the ARP/NDP Table using information sourced from the wirelessClientsTable to display MAC address and speed/signal strength/noise. This information could be instantaneous rather than logged as the airport base stations appear not to actually return the number of packets passed despite the MIB supporting this. This looks like the simpler task. Finally, some might be interested in the DHCP allocations, but as I run all my base stations in bridged mode that wouldn't be of interest to be. So, before I start looking at the code, I thought I should ask if anybody is already looking into this? Thanks, Steve

Geocoding debugging help
by Chris Moody 30 May '14

30 May '14

Howdy folks. Can anyone please help provide me some syntax to try debugging the geocoding calls that place devices properly on the map? I'm running 2 installations[Observium CE 0.13.10.4586]: - 1 test host (geocoding works great) - 1 production host (geocoding isn't working) The prod host is behind proxies whereas the test host is not, so I'm next to 110% positive that this is what's preventing the geocoding calls from functioning, but I could use a hand in how to further debug the details of where/how it's failing. I've specified the proxy server details in the config.php file, but am not confident that connections are actually getting through. It's quite possible that the geocoding URLs are not currently permitted through the proxies. I need some more ammo though to go back to my proxy admins so that I can get their help in permitting this connectivity if it's denied. Are thereany commands I can run or debugging flags I can toggle to help extract more details? I've tried both the mapquest & google provider to no avail, so need to get deeper under the hood to troubleshoot further. Any insights or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Cheers, -Chris

You could tcpdump on both the prod and tests hosts then show the results to your proxy admins.

Device status changed to Down (snmp)
by overige＠vanderpoel.com.au 29 May '14

29 May '14

Hi, I recently installed Observium CE and noticed some very weird behavior. Observium monitors currently 3 devices: 1 Debian Server + 1 Debian workstation + 1 Ubuntu workstation. The Debian workstation is shutdown overnight and rebooted in the morning, nicely shown in the Event logging: Shutdown: *<date time> System Device status changed to Down (ping)* Reboot: *<date time> System Device status changed to Up <date time> Reboot Device rebooted after <hours min sec> * That's all fine. But now the weird thing is that for the Server the Event log says almost at the same time: *<date time> System Device status changed to Down (snmp)* and when the workstation is rebooted, the Server Event log says at almost the same time: *<date time> System Device status changed to Up* Graphs for the server don't get updated/have data for the time the Debian workstation is down. The Ubuntu workstation runs 24/7 and graphs get properly updated during time the Debian workstation is down. I would expect that what happened with the workstation should have no effect on the data collection of the Server. Details: Observium CE 0.14.4.5229 OS Debian 7 (Server + Workstation) Ubuntu 10.40 LTS (Workstation 24/7) How do I get this working properly? Thanx, Pieter

Odd issue with recent update - UnpingableRRD & UnpingableMySQL

All, We’ve been running Observium on Ubnutu 12.04 for a little over a year now, and after applying the latest community update, we seem to have devices periodically reporting as down. The error I’m getting is bouncing between UnpingableMySQL and UnpingableRRD.

4k displays
by Adam Armstrong 27 May '14

27 May '14

Hi All, Are any of you running 4k displays yet? We've been thinking about how to handle larger displays and were considering jumping straight from the existing 1280px wide to 3840px rather than building a 'widescreen' mode on 1920px. I think it would be most noticeable in the amount and resolution of the graphs we could display. We could effectively fit twice the amount of data into each graph. It would probably require quite a lot of work, so it's important we get the resolution correct! (no, i don't care about your macbook pro's silly resolution) adam.

WMI Module Observium

Hello, I have the following case. I am useing Observium to monitor a few Windows Server 200 R2 VM's. Some machines can't get there disks polled because of a BDEdrive partition (because of this partition the poll times go up to 60 sec/per machine as wel). As workarround i have disabled the storage poller module (the polling time goes down to 3 sec), and enabled the WMI poller module. The wmi poller module works nice. Polling of the Disk partition works as wel! There is only one problem, the graphs/logs for diskspace dont get written to the rdd files when using the wmi disk poller module. Is this a know problem and if so, is there a fix or setting that I could use? Kind regards, Jeremy

{Disarmed} Health Processor Usage sorting according to the Usage ?

Hi , The current health monitoring top menu report ( http://x.x.x.x/health/metric=processor/ ) displays the items in the alphabetical order of the device name. But it would great if we can get this sorted by actual usage, so that it gives like "Top CPU Usages like report" This is just a suggestion, what do you all think , the same thing could be applied to other metrics as well for the time being I just edited the /opt/observium/html/pages/health/processor.inc.php file and set $processors = array_sort_by($processors, 'processor_usage', SORT_DESC, SORT_NUMBER, 'processor_descr', SORT_ASC, SORT_STRING); to get this effect. but my worry is, this will be overwritten when we do the svn upgrades :-) With Best Regards, Supun Rathnayake Lanka communication Services (Pvt) Ltd. 65C, Dharmapala Mawatha, Colombo 07.

Hy observium-users, we're using observium with many devices and all sensors report a correct state. But with Mikrotik RB2011 we're getting temperature and voltage warnings from "System 0". The reported values seem ok, but the thresholds are wrong. e.g. temperature 0C - 5.6C, voltage 1.04V - 1.4V how can we fix this behaviour? screens attached: [cid:image001.png@01CF75D6.499A3DD0] [cid:image002.png@01CF75D6.499A3DD0] Thx, Ing.

Detecting force10 S4810
by Kristoffer Egefelt 22 May '14

22 May '14

Hi, S4810 switches is not being detected as S4810 switches with the latest community edition - observium says: Dell Networking OS Operating System Version: 2.0 Application Software Version: 9.4(0.0P1) Series: S4810 Copyright (c) 1999-2014 by Dell Inc. All Rights Reserved. Build Time: Mon Apr 21 08:28:51 PDT 2014 Also it appears that the polling process is crashing the OSPF process on the S4810 switches, causing them to reboot, in case someone reads this before installing ;-) I’m opening a ticket with Dell on that one. Regards Kristoffer

Alerts for Device ping delay
by Сережка Хомяков 21 May '14

21 May '14

Hi, Having recently purchased Observium Professional Edition, I have a question on Alerting for high delay to the device. I've configured an Alert Checker with parameters: - Tests: device_ping gt 40 (assuming RTT to the device not to exceed 40ms); - Device match: os equals ios - Entity match: <hostname> - Entity type: Device Actually, this checker applies not to the Device itself, but to the Ports of the Device, resulting in incorrect checks. I assume, that device_reboot checker will act in a similar way and won't trigger an alert. Can anyone provide a working config on this Alert type? ---- Best, Sergey Homyakov

MySQL App - Seconds Behind Master

Hello There, few days ago I implemented the MySQL App Feature on our Observium and it's working like a charm. It brings useful Information for MySQL Cluster Nodes. I'm just missing something, and that's: "Seconds Behind Master" Is there any particular Configuration that I have to implement to make it work or it's not just yet implemented? BTW, I'm running the Open Source Version of Observium running on a Debian Virtual Server. Thanks in advance! Cheers, Ximena. --- *Ximena E.

Observium vs others
by Alejandro Lengua Vega 19 May '14

Hello, I am looking for a tool that can allow me to monitor customer's physical servers as well as my virtual servers (I have some, not too many Linux/CPanel servers and Windows VPS). This is a list of the tools I have been recommended along with Observium https://nodequery.com/ sar newrelic naemon nagios Icinga I think nagios and similars are too much for me, however I don´t know if Observium has all what I need, can you help me with that? Some of the features I need are: 1. Load/performance monitoring applications like Apache, MySQL, Exim (email) 2. Exim queque size (for preventing spam issues) 3. Generate user logins for my customers (so they can see graphics of their servers) 4. Access from mobile Do you think Observium could help me with this?

Auto refresh default setting

Hey guys, Subs version, I like to leave the default view page, as Network >> Bits so that I see ALL spikes fairly quickly, and can react if I see anything, however for the love of god, inc F5 / Hard refresh, I cannot get the screen to default to loading say the last 6 hours. Anyway of doing this, and let me provide the URL I am sitting at : http://my.observiumURL.com/devices/type=network/format=graphs/disabled=0/so… Now anything to make this simply autorefresh in the last 6 hours AUTOMATICALLY would be great - beer tokens available. The reason behind this is a 55" screen that sits on the wall, that at the moment doesn't do what it should do and will shortly be used for plastic gun target with suckers!!!! -- Kind regards, Chris

Dell Hardware Sensors
by Travis Kreikemeier 16 May '14

16 May '14

Very little information about this in the Wiki or configuration guide. I would like to get hardware sensors working in Observium for Dell servers, PE 2950, R310, R610, etc. I want to alert when any sensor is not OK. For example, hard drive failure, power supply failure, etc. >From what I think is possible. That information is available in SNMP on a physical Linux server if you setup SNMP SMUX Peer to the Dell OpenManage agent running on the server? Does Observium support it? However, it appears this is not possible on physical Windows? As well, as it look like that hardware SNMP nformation is not available either on ESXi 5+ because of lack of SNMP support integration with Dell OpenManage agent VIB. I'm on correct on this? Or can Observium get this hardware health from WS-MAN on ESXi, or IPMI to iDRAC hardware card? It would be awesome to see a Observium definitive hardware monitoring guide for Dell and then HP. Any information or help would be appreciated! Observium rocks! Oh, and the Alerting system in Pro is awesome! However, little bit of a learning curve. I created 9 alerts that I think should cover most issues. Such as high cpu, low memory, device down, device rebooted, network port at half duplex, network port down, high port utilization, etc. It would have been ideal if there was a Wiki page with all of those just laid out for examples. Everyone just keeps adding more and more example alerts to that page. TRAVIS KREIKEMEIER

Geocoding shows wrong locations
by Ray, Bjoern Karsten 15 May '14

15 May '14

Hi there, I am running several VLAN in a distributed environment in Germany. I am using the longitude/latitude options to finally not ending up on "An island in the middle of the ocean". Yesterday I added another two VLANs and the map shows devices inside e.g. in India. As I am using private subnet ranges, only, I am wondering why this happens at all and could be done to get over of this little trouble. Subnets I am using are: 192.168.50.0/24 192.168.55.0/24 192.168.60.0/24 192.168.70.0/24 192.168.80.0/24 192.168.90.0/24 192.168.100.0/24 192.168.110.0/24 192.168.120.0/24 ...where the C-octet reflects the VLAN-ID. Thanks in advance!

Upgrading to Observium Professional

Hallo, I am thinking about upgrading to Observium Professional. Before I do this however, I was wondering if someone could answer a question. At the moment I am using Observium to monitor all my Cisco switches and Windows servers. The thing I miss the most in Observium Open Source edition is not being able to receive alerts on the following: § Alerting Memory at certain thresholds (Windows machines) § alerting CPU at certain thresholds (Windows machines) § Alerting disk I/O at certain thresholds (Windows machines) Now I thing this is possible with the Professional edition. Can someone confirm that this is the case? With kind regards, Jeremy

Hi, Just tried to add a new device (r5478) but it’s failing with no feedback, even at the command line. root@OBSERVIUM:/opt/observium # php add_device.php server.name.domain Observium v0.14.5.5478 Add Device(s) Try to add server.name.domain: Trying v2c community xyz ... root@OBSERVIUM:/opt/observium# It was ok a couple of days ago and I’m not sure how to try to diagnose this further as there is no feedback either at the command line or the web interface (which just says “Trying v2c community xyx …” the same as the command line does). To rule out a duff device I removed an existing working device and tried to re-add it. Fails with the same error also and I’m unable to re-add that device. Any pointers please? Cheers!

Calix E7-2 port disabling
by Crozier, Doug 11 May '14

11 May '14

I have 14 Calix E7-2 OLTs in this environment that I want to monitor. The first two I added to Observium(PE 5447) showed up with over 1000 ports each. I'd like to disable polling/alerting on all but a handful of ports on each of these devices. I used the "All" button on the device's Ports tab to get this done, but it only disables the first 333 ports. Same behavior on the second OLT. The remaining 900+ ports are all still enabled for polling. Manually selecting the slider for 50 or so of the remaining ports to disable them fails to take effect after clicking "Save". Is there a way to disable the remaining ports, then enable the few that I am interested in? Thanks Doug

dpkg agent oddness
by Robert Williams 10 May '14

10 May '14

Hi All, I’ve just added the dpkg agent script for the agent to a server, it already had other agents on it which are all working OK (apache, ntp etc.). Now, when I ./dpkg locally it gives the package list just fine. However, Observium shows the package list with some extra items at the top which read <blank> and “Fatal error:” [cid:image001.png@01CF6C41.93B4FDE0] Now on every poll (manual or scheduled) I also get the event log entry “System Arch -> Directive” [cid:image002.png@01CF6C41.F2135120] This dpkg script is working fine on all the other hosts I run it on, and everything else is working fine on this particular host apart from this element of the dpkg script. If I run the agent module in debug then I notice that at the end of the script I get: Fatal error: Directive 'allow_call_time_pass_reference' is no longer available in PHP in Unknown on line 0 Fatal error: Directive 'allow_call_time_pass_reference' is no longer available in PHP in Unknown on line 0 ) So I guess this is what is being interpreted by the poller as a ‘package’ and the ‘architecture’ of the system. However, I do not get this error when I run it locally, only when it’s run from Observium remotely. So - Any ideas or suggestions what to try next? Target host is Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (3.13.0-24-generic x86_64) and I have several others running 14.04 which are polling fine as far as I’m aware. Cheers!

Relative times not showing properly...
by Michael Loftis 09 May '14

09 May '14

I'm actually not certain when this started to happen as I've noticed it before, but it seemed like it was just in old events, but now, I've noticed that all relative times are getting computed incorrectly, they'll all show like "364 days, 17h 13m 3s" when you hover for an actual time (system event log particularly) the timestamps are right...it's something going wonk doing date math I'm guessing... 0.14.5.5458 - php 5.4.4 (just svn updated to make sure it wasn't fixed) not sure what else is relevant... -- "Genius might be described as a supreme capacity for getting its possessors into trouble of all kinds." -- Samuel Butler

weekly/monthly reporting tool?
by Joshua Elson 09 May '14

09 May '14

Hi all, I was wondering if there is any sort of reporting tool for Observium? We are looking to get a weekly and/or monthly break down of CPU and memory for all 100 or so of our servers. It has become tedious to go through each server one by one each time we need to gather all these details. As always, thanks in advance!

Add disk status to Buffalo Terastation
by Stefano Cordio 09 May '14

09 May '14

Hey guys, I'd like to implement an addition for my NAS box, a Buffalo Terastation. This NAS sends a daily report about the available space and the state of the disks. Observium already grabs details about the space, so I'd like to also add support to disk status/diagnostics (I already have the needed MIB files). The following is a MIB snippet: ------------------------------------------------------ nasDiskStatus OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX INTEGER { notSupport(-1), normal(1), array1(2), array2(3), standby(4), degrade(5), remove(6), standbyRemoved(7), degradeRemoved(8), removeRemoved(9) } MAX-ACCESS read-only STATUS current DESCRIPTION "The state of local disks. This value is read from 'diskx' line in file /etc/melco/diskinfo. notSupport(-1) indicates the disk slot is not exist. normal(1) indicates the disk is not part of RAID array. array1(2) indicates the disk is part of array1. array2(3) indicates the disk is part of array2. standby(4) indicates the disk is standby and power-off. degrade(5) indicates the disk has degraded and removed from array, and power-off. remove(6) indicates the disk has removed from array by user and power-off. standbyRemoved(7) indicates the disk is standby and removed from NAS. degradeRemoved(8) indicates the disk has degraded and removed from array and NAS. removeRemoved(9) indicates the disk has removed from array and NAS." ::= { nasDiskEntry 2 } ------------------------------------------------------ I'm not sure which is the best location in the device page for showing these informations. Could we consider these as a kind of sensor or is it something inventory-related? Actually I need a design advice. Would be really nice if you could also give me a pointer to a similar existing code. I strongly believe in learning by example :-) Thanks, Stefano

Selective Alerts?
by Hamilton, Kent 08 May '14

I'm new to Observium, and was playing with email alerting. Is there a way to selectively disable alerts? For example I'd like to disable over-under voltage alerts from systems.

L2tp not creating interfaces

Hi folks, wonderful product :):) I was just wondering if the L2tp section is in dev or is completed. I can't get it to work and as far as I have troubleshooted I can see that there are not any ports being picked up when my lns is scanned for this functionality to work. I haven't configured anything specific, it appears as you just snmp scan the device and it should pick the session tracking up for the l2tp tab. I can see everything else is working, am I missing something> Cheers, OJ

Strange temperature and voltage readings
by Matthew A Harper 02 May '14

02 May '14

Hi Guys, First time posting - Be gentle ;) I've recently implemented Observium for our department and am absolutely loving it. However after an update this morning I have noticed that some devices are reporting weird readings for their sensors. Temperature and voltage specifically are reporting absurd variables (2209 degrees CPU temp / 1.45KV on a 1.2V rail). http://i.imgur.com/MG5NBA8.png - Random sample of temperature http://i.imgur.com/u8Emr3J.png - Random sample of voltage This issue seems to affect CISCO hardware but does not seem to be specific to a particular model or software revision and has only occurred since the DB Schema was updated this morning. Is anyone else seeing similar results with version 5405? Oh and yes, I confirmed these devices are not on fire or being struck by lightning. :) Regards, Matt. *********************************************************************** WARNING: This email (including any attachments) may contain legally privileged, confidential or private information and may be protected by copyright.

2 things with alerting
by Bastiaan Topper 30 Apr '14

30 Apr '14

Hi, We have 2 strange things with the alerting system since a few days. - 1. The frontpage displays ports up/down, even when the alerting for that port is disabled in the device settings. Is this normal? Because this wasn't till a few days ago. [cid:image001.png@01CF5ED2.3C5BB560] [cid:image002.png@01CF5ED2.3C5BB560] - 2. Some alert checks worked fine for months, but now they fail. (I only have the database output, because the http://observium/alert_checks/ links returns a blank page, maybe because the result is too big?): [cid:image003.png@01CF5ED2.7A406F60] I attached the debug poll of one of the devices. The polling debug output returns: Checking alert 4 associated by 4 replaced @sensor_limit with 5.92 from entity. Testing: sensor_value greater 5.92 (value: 5.187) FAIL replaced @sensor_limit_low with 4.37 from entity. Testing: sensor_value less 4.37 (value: 5.187) OK Checks failed. Generate alert. What I expect (and what it did for the last months) this alert rule to do, is to fail when the sensor value is not between the threshold ranges. It looks like it is only for the voltage and current sensors. [cid:image004.png@01CF5ED4.23531980] When I check the settings and alerting thresholds, they look fine to me. [cid:image005.png@01CF5ED4.23531980] Am I doing something wrong? Or is this some kind of bug? Thanks and regards, Bastiaan Topper

Device Traffic Overview Graph Legend
by Jake Turner 26 Apr '14

26 Apr '14

Hi all, Just in case anybody else has spotted this and wants to fix it. The problem I was seeing (in the community edition at least) was that when ‘Show Legend’ was clicked on the Device Bits Graph page, the interface names would only have 10 characters as the image below shows: [cid:4474A50E-FFD7-439C-B557-8AB5663E872B@turnerhouse.local] With Cisco devices this renders the legend pretty useless as almost all the interfaces have FastEthernet/GigabitEthernet/TenGig etc. in front of the interface number. To fix this the file /html/includes/graphs/generic_multi_separated.inc.php needs to be modified. Lines 28 & 29 just need more space: $rrd_options .= " COMMENT:'$units_descr Cur Avg Max'"; if (!$nototal) { $rrd_options .= " COMMENT:' Total'"; } Line 81 will have the number 10 after the comma on rrdtool_escape: ($rrd['descr'], 10). This basically strips the interface to that length. In order for the interfaces on my 6500 to show nicely I changed this number to be 25: rrdtool_escape($rrd['descr'], 25). If you decide to go for a different number you should modify lines 28 & 29 too to make sure the ‘Cur, Avg, Max and Total’ headers are in line with the stats below. Then you just need to change for the ‘outbits' as well: substr(str_pad('', 25),0,25). The graph will/should then display like the below. Much more useful :) [cid:937DFBEE-EE5A-4F3E-8B38-AE6466900BE5@turnerhouse.local] An alternative would be to use ifName rather than ifDescr but I can’t be bothered to figure out how to do that.

Disk I/O feature gone?
by Joshua Elson 25 Apr '14

25 Apr '14

Was this feature removed in the latest community release? We used to be able to view each disk (sda/sdc/sdc) and the ops/sec and bytes/sec. I can't seem to find this anymore after the latest upgrade.

Failover interface monitoring
by Gregoire Tourres 25 Apr '14

25 Apr '14

Hello Observium team I am monitoring different kind of devices (linux / windows / cisco) through my Observium. Everything work fine except for some Windows server 2012 network interfaces : the failover interfaces. Microsoft uses some kind of interface to supply a failover service (2 servers of the same kind speaks a special black protocol to monitor themself). >From the Windows Server, interfaces are "Microsoft failover cluster virtual adapter". >From Observium, they are seen as ethernet device and as tunnel device. Observium always seens some packet loss on these interfaces (however, there are no packet loss in the network, even with huge stress). So ... it keeps alerting for packet loss. You would say "turn monitoring or alerting off on these interfaces". Well .. that what I did : But I keep getting some alert in the eventlogs : The others real interfaces on the server work fine (good monitoring, no loss, no alerting). I am only having the problem on these kind of interfaces. Why does Observium always see packet loss on these interface ? Why does Observium do not stop alerting when I tell him to ? Thanks for answer! Greg

VM and Observium
by Luis Quintana 25 Apr '14

25 Apr '14

So, is anyone experiencing any issues running on observium on a vm? I submitted an email a month or two ago about some issues we were seeing, and i decided to reinstall observium from scratch. Currently i am seeing the same issues, whereby it "appears" that connectivity drops or isnt captured randomly. it's not across one device, but all. i am wondering if maybe i didnt build the vm appropriately or we really are having a network type issue. ive looked at the network but maybe i am overlooking something. anything on the vm side that maybe i can look at? i am running ubuntu 13.04 and the latest observium code as of yesterday.

Brocade MLXe and ICX support / question
by Swen Veckes (KDDI) 25 Apr '14

25 Apr '14

Hi, we use a couple of MLXe’s and ICX’s which seem fine at the first place running observium’s subscriber edition. However, a few part seems not working correctly: + MLXE’s - Memory shown as -1 on the device main page and has no graphs „nan“ at all - Memorypool usage graphs show -nan - Observium recognizes the installed Line card CPU but report 100% CPU on another machine adder 3 month earlier it reports OK - VLAN’s are reported fine, however, on the VLAN tab only untagged vlan1 (default vlan) has port associated with it, others are empt + ICX’s - CPU reported 100% all time, but same switch installed earlier shows fine - Compared to the MLXe it does not show LAG interfaces Any hints on the the graphing which works for one device but another added later does not as well for the memory? I Don’t hink that observium suddenly broke the support for this, as it is still working for the other devices (exactly the same device). What do I need to provide to help fixing the other things such as the LAG display for the ICX or others and to get more current Brocade device support? Cheers, Swen

Adtran Devices
by Colin Anderson 24 Apr '14

24 Apr '14

Are there any plans to include better support for Adtran devices - specifically Netvanta and Total Access products? As it is, Observium only shows bandwidth graphs - no processor, memory, etc... Adtran processors can suck so we'd really like to be able to monitor them, but haven't found a product that can do it. Thanks! -Colin

Unable to add Alert
by Richard Kuehnle 24 Apr '14

24 Apr '14

I just upgraded from the CE to Subscription. When I go to add a new alert checker, it tells me: Adding alert checker Alert creation failed. Please note that the alert name must be unique. Nothing is listed in the alert checkers list. I queried the database tables alert_* and they all seem to be empty (as expected). Anywhere else I need to poke/check? Thanks -rich
