Unable to get non-MySQL Auth working - 500 error
by Chris Moody 19 Oct '12

19 Oct '12

Hello. First off, let me say that this project is AWESOME!!! I am blown away at how comprehensive the graphing is across our network gear. Bravo. That said, I need a hand in figuring out why I cannot seem to get any auth-method other than mysql to work. If I so much as toggle to any other auth-method (ldap or http-auth), I immediately get a 500 'Internal Error' when I try to hit the Observium login page. I'm ultimately trying to get auth to the application to be handled via LDAP, but I can do it via either the observium-ldap component or via http-auth combined with mod_authz_ldap... makes me no difference. I've had some success w. mod_authz_ldap in that I can get authentication to actually pass for a user account (I am able to bypass the login promptsuccessfully), but as soon as I auth, I hit the dreaded 500. I'm not able to find anything in any http logs regarding what might be possibly throwing the 500. lsof lists any open filehandles for httpd, so I've checked every possible file that logs could be directed to, but no cluesthus far. This particular box is a RHEL5 running Observium 0.12.10.3396 Any ideas are welcome. Cheers, -Chris

Backing Up Observium
by Mahomed Hussein 18 Oct '12

18 Oct '12

Hi I need to ensure our install of Observium is fully backed up and I'd rather not backup the entire VM. Could you please confirm if all I need to backup are: * /opt/observium directory * Observium database * /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default What I'd like to achieve from the backups is to spin up a new VM instance, run through the install steps to get the required components installed, then restore the files so that Observium then just runs as it was at the point of the last backup. I have tried checking the FAQ and a search of the mailing list but I couldn't find any specific instructions. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Kind regards, Mahomed Hussein Custodian DataCentre email: Mahomed(a)CustodianDC.com

HIgh CPU on ASR
by Roza 17 Oct '12

17 Oct '12

After adding ASR 1002 (used as PPPOE termination) to Observium, CPU on ASR raised to 90%, and stayed that way, untill I blocked it (after 30 minutes). Normal CPU is aroiund 10%. Is this a normal? Don't think so.... ASR1002 has cca 5000 connected users. iRoza

Cisco CUCM Support
by John Macleod 13 Oct '12

13 Oct '12

Has anyone looked into fully supporting the Cisco UCM stuff? It looks like it is mainly a mix of Cisco CCM and Cisco/HP/IBM hardware mibs depending on what platform it is on. I specifically have UCM5xx series, the SMB PBX in a box - CME variant and the larger full Unified Communications Manager 5000 systems, running the linux-derived UCM apps on Cisco branded UCS, IBM or HP hardware. I did find this: http://smbitsolutions.wordpress.com/2011/05/02/2-may-2011-1341/ I do have a system I could expose for testing if someone is up for this? I have the same request for Cisco CUBE (SIP-SIP) gateway support, which looks like it is just a mib on the relevant supported hardware. I believe it is the same mib for standard SIP monitoring on other Cisco platforms, but I could be wrong. At the moment the UCM 5000 shows as a generic server, with standard net-snmp type support, and the CUBE devices just show as routers. I currently use a Cacti install alongside my Observium systems for the sole purpose of monitoring the above. Would be nice to stick to one. Thanks, John

Observium behind proxy
by Max León 10 Oct '12

10 Oct '12

Hello, I need to publish an observium instance to the DMZ. The simplest approach is by proxy using Nginx. I have the configuration set, well I think, problem is that on authentication it loops on the login, any idea why this might be? Thank you. Max Atentamente, Max León

custom graph questions, almost done
by Mark Chaney 05 Oct '12

05 Oct '12

So I am not sure if this belongs on the dev list as I am not really doing core dev work and I am not currently subscribed to it. I will definitely contribute my work back to you guys though (if you wanted it). Its for graphing md3000i performance data (stupid thing isnt accessible through snmp, so its basically data attached to the management host). Anyway, I have been following the following example: http://www.observium.org/wiki/Developing/NewGraph and I am not sure about few things. 1) What are the following values for? Specifically the Pages/pages part. I understand that it cycles through the stats that i have setup, but I am not sure about the words Pages/pages. foreach ($stats as $stat) { $i++; $rrd_list[$i]['filename'] = $rrd_filename; $rrd_list[$i]['descr'] = "Pages " . ucfirst($stat); $rrd_list[$i]['ds'] = "pages" . ucfirst($stat); } 2) Now that I have the agent script created and the rest of the scripts in the tutorial, how am I supposed to activate it for a host? I am assuming it should probably be "activated" within the applications list? If so, I am guessing there is logic missing in that example tutorial on how to add it to the list of application options? 3) Is creating a diff and reapplying after every upgrade really the recommended method? Its to bad all the definitions are in a single file or else that might be a little easier to manage. 4) Any idea what type of logic i should be using to figuring out the proper numbers for the rrd graph settigns in this code section? rrdtool_create($rrd_filename, "--step 300 \ DS:pagesShared:GAUGE:600:0:125000000000 \ DS:pagesSharing:GAUGE:600:0:125000000000 \ DS:pagesUnshared:GAUGE:600:0:125000000000 ".$config['rrd_rra']); 5) What format should the agent script output be in? I am guessing it should be one per line? Right now my output is like so: <<md3000i>> total_io=3158.0 read_percentage=27.9 cache_hit_percentage=93.2 current_kbps=22475.2 current_iops=631.6 6) Last question: Is there any way to have certain agent scripts to be polled at slower intervals? This check takes about 5 seconds and is probably a resource hog on the management host since the script has to run a stupid java cli app. The management server in this case is the same host as the observium system, so I wouldnt have a problem not using the agent and just doing a cron if that was somehow an option. Thanks for you help. I know I had a lot of detailed questions. I sincerely appreciate the help. -Mark (MACScr)

unix-agent scripts conflicting with check_mk
by Mark Chaney 02 Oct '12

02 Oct '12

I cant seem to use any of the unix-agent scripts with check_mk as it ruins all the check_mk local script results. Basically any existing scripts start giving an error in the check_mk gui and state "Check output not found in local checks". If I reinventory the host, none of the scripts show up at all. As soon as i remove the observium local agent scripts from the check_mk local folder and I reinvetory the host, everything is fine again. I am unfortunately not sure what our options are though. The only thing I can think of is to somehow serialize the data so that it shows up on one line for each script, then is parsed back out by observium once it receives it. That way we easily ignore them within our main.mk files. Can't really do that now because of how there are so many lines for each result (apache/mysql for example). Thoughts? Im quite surprised this hasn't already been an issue. I am running check_mk 1.2.0p3 and observium 0.12.9.3385. - MACscr

Hi all, Sorry. 1) Offtopic. I unfortunately do not get your answers via mail. And look at them through http://postman.memetic.org/pipermail/observium/2012-September/thread.html How do I reply to this thread - but do not start a new topic every time? I have long lost touch (and forgotten) how to use mailing lists - last it was 10 years ago. 2) For monitoring unix servers use snmp? I do not understand a bit - but then why in wiki talk about the unix- agent. I saw that to unix-agent in any way no related to snmp. In my look this product have a lot of undocumented features that are unclear how they work. Regards, Andrey

Re: [Observium] SSD for better performance
by Adam Armstrong 19 Sep '12

19 Sep '12

The maths and specs suggest a modern SSD should survive observium workload for quite a while, but I'm still worried about the random failure rate and the likelyhood that individual cells get worn out. In general SSDs are such a strange tech, there's almost no way to really improve them except with fancy controller hacks, the flash itself is a dead end tech. Good luck :-) Adam Cushard Michael <mcc(a)us.axway.com> wrote: >_______________________________________________ >observium mailing list >observium(a)observium.org >http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium

I would recommend dumping the data to a real disk occasionally, as observium/rrd-style workloads are pretty hard on flash-based storage.

port ignore partly fails on large number of ports
by Maarten De Wispelaere 19 Sep '12

19 Sep '12

Hi, I recently discovered the following : When trying to set "Ignore" status on switches with large number of ports (eg. force10 e1200 or c300 chassis), the setting doesn't get saved for some of the ports. More specific, at the end of the list. This is what I did : Toggle all -> removed the toggle from the mgmt interface -> then save What happens: Most ports get "ignored" status, part of them don't After getting the status, they again have a 'not-ignored-status' (checkbox not checked). If I check them again & press save -> same issue. Seems like the checkboxes only get processed to a certain number of items ? Does this sound familiar ?

Eaton Powerware UPS
by Aaron Maurer 17 Sep '12

17 Sep '12

Hi all, First time poster here. We use observium here at our office and think it is a great program. We were interested in having observium read SNMP information from our Powerware 9130 UPS's. Currently observium can't identify them. We were wondering if there was any interest in the community to write a snmp module to read from the Powerwares. The documentation for the SNMP values is posted in the PDF files which I can provide. If there is positive interest for anyone on helping take this on I can also provide SNMP walks of my Eatons. Here is a snippet of the first few lines of SNMP information: SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: Powerware 9130 3000 SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.705.1 DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (2144221738) 248 days, 4:10:17.38 Thank you, Aaron Maurer Diversified Business Systems Inc.

Re: [Observium] Checkpoint Firewall Support?
by Steve Costaras 04 Sep '12

04 Sep '12

Doing some more digging here, it appears UCD-SNMP-MIB values for ssCpuUser (system & idle) are being populated correctly from checkpoint utm/splat deployments. But other items like interrupts, etc are working. The cpu values appear to be stored in the checkpoint enterprise mib: -- CHECKPOINT-MIB::multiProcIndex.1.0 = INTEGER: 1 CHECKPOINT-MIB::multiProcIndex.2.0 = INTEGER: 2 CHECKPOINT-MIB::multiProcUserTime.1.0 = INTEGER: 0 CHECKPOINT-MIB::multiProcUserTime.2.0 = INTEGER: 1 CHECKPOINT-MIB::multiProcSystemTime.1.0 = INTEGER: 100 CHECKPOINT-MIB::multiProcSystemTime.2.0 = INTEGER: 2 CHECKPOINT-MIB::multiProcIdleTime.1.0 = INTEGER: 0 CHECKPOINT-MIB::multiProcIdleTime.2.0 = INTEGER: 97 CHECKPOINT-MIB::multiProcUsage.1.0 = INTEGER: 100 CHECKPOINT-MIB::multiProcUsage.2.0 = INTEGER: 3 -- Found the current version of the mib as well as a checkpoint 32x32 graphic that can be added to the project (attached) in case someone has more time to play with it than I do. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the coding here to update this for first, base OS (per-cpu) utilization, then expand on it to something similar to the ASA firewall tab. Also it appears that the vendor has an issue with the netsnmp package supplied with the default media 5.0.9) but they do have an update package (5.3.1). This at least provides for cpu enumeration but still no stats (per above).

This is probably because the device frequently returns invalid data. A common problem with tacked systems like the 3750 and VSS. Adam.

I do have some older nokia systems (IP380's, IP530's, and I think an IP740) laying around somewhere, but most of the new systems are using Secure Platform (R65, R70, R71, R75) versions and/or UTM's (basically the same thing, they all RedHat Enterprise v5.4 9(2.6.18 kernel) slimmed down with an extra checkpoint mib tree for items outside the base OS). We also have some provider-1 deployments (management station) but that I would consider future if anything.

solaris 10 / net-snmp not getting cpu stats

Still testing with various devices here, found an interesting issue. I have a M3000 sun box with solaris 10 on it, which gets added fine and most of the graphs appear to be eyeball correct, however am NOT stats for cpu utilization. The sun box is using net-snmp (included w/ solaris 10)(not the older sun snmpd daemon) which was the default with older systems. doing a manual walk I DO get stats: $ snmpwalk -v2c -c XXXX XXXXX 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.1.0 = INTEGER: 1 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.2.0 = STRING: "systemStats" iso.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.3.0 = INTEGER: 0 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.4.0 = INTEGER: 0 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.5.0 = INTEGER: 0 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.6.0 = INTEGER: 0 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.7.0 = INTEGER: 507 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.8.0 = INTEGER: 259 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.9.0 = INTEGER: 1 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.10.0 = INTEGER: 0 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.11.0 = INTEGER: 99 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.50.0 = Counter32: 1190528 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.52.0 = Counter32: 330481 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.53.0 = Counter32: 136097671 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.54.0 = Counter32: 0 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.55.0 = Counter32: 330481 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.57.0 = Counter32: 0 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.58.0 = Counter32: 0 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.59.0 = Counter32: 898868894 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.60.0 = Counter32: 736460424 so it is showing ticks. but I don't see that mib tree being referenced by doing a poller debug at all? is the solaris support only for perhaps the old snmp (solaris) version which has the entries in a different tree?

But it fails for some reason which might have something to do with that legacy IPv4 protocol. root@irime:/opt/observium# dig +short pi2.meerval.net root@irime:/opt/observium# dig +short aaaa pi2.meerval.net 2001:67c:208c:10:821f:2ff:fe4b:3932 root@irime:/opt/observium# root@irime:/opt/observium# ./addhost.php pi2.meerval.net hey_adam_come_drink_beer_in_amsterdam Could not resolve pi2.meerval.net Could not resolve pi2.meerval.net Could not resolve pi2.meerval.net Could not resolve pi2.meerval.net Observium v0.12.7.3353 Add Host Tool Usage (SNMPv1/2c): ./addhost.php <hostname> [community] [v1|v2c] [port] [udp|udp6|tcp|tcp6] Usage (SNMPv3) : Config Defaults : ./addhost.php <hostname> any v3 [user] [port] [udp|udp6|tcp|tcp6] No Auth, No Priv : ./addhost.php <hostname> nanp v3 [user] [port] [udp|udp6|tcp|tcp6] Auth, No Priv : ./addhost.php <hostname> anp v3 <user> <password> [md5|sha] [port] [udp|udp6|tcp|tcp6] Auth, Priv : ./addhost.php <hostname> ap v3 <user> <password> <enckey> [md5|sha] [aes|dsa] [port] [udp|udp6|tcp|tcp6] Remember to run discovery for the host afterwards.

Alert emails not working
by Shekhar Basnet 05 Aug '12

05 Aug '12

Hello List, I used to get emails of alerts (including BGP, temperature) but not anymore. I keep on doing SVN updates every week. I noticed that the emails were not coming after many updates. I've not changed any settings. I wonder what is wrong. I have set SNMP contact as 'netadmin' in all my routers. Observium was sending emails to this alias. Anybody knows how to fix this? Current version is as below:- Apache: 2.2.3 (CentOS) PHP: 5.1.6 MySQL: 5.0.77 RRDtool: 1.4.5 Observium: 0.12.8.3358 Config.php is as below:- ### ADDED - Alert Settings $config['alerts']['email']['default'] = NULL; ## Default alert recipient $config['alerts']['email']['default_only'] = FALSE; ## Only use default recipient $config['alerts']['email']['enable'] = TRUE; ## Enable email alerts #$config['alerts']['port']['ifdown'] = TRUE; ## Generate alerts for ports that go down

Installation help with menu items
by Dave Badia 03 Aug '12

03 Aug '12

Hi - I have a new installation of observium running on apache on gentoo. When I go to the main page (http://myserver/observium/html/) it looks similar to the demo and I see the data. But, when I click on the menu items, they don't work. For example, if I click on Locations I get The requested URL /index.php/locations// was not found on this server. Any ideas as to what I've configured incorrectly? Thanks Dave

Cisco 2900 Router VRF display Issue
by Moermond, Timothy 02 Aug '12

02 Aug '12

Hi, I have situation where Observium shows VRF information for all of my 2800 series routers but not my 2900 series router. Also the config tab is not showing up either from the rancid integration, but it does for all of my 2800 series routers. I have removed and added the router back but that did not seem to change anything. All of other information appears to be displaying and rancid is pulling the configuration without any issues. Has anyone run into this? The 2900 is running IOS ver. 15.0(1)M3. Tim

Recent changes on the billing pages - CPU hogging of poll-billing.php
by Erik Bais 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Hi, I would like to start with that the recent changes look really good on the billing pages. Excellent job, I like it. Over the last few weeks minor changes have been done to these pages and I was wondering if anything was also done to the file: /opt/observium/poll-billing.php or the tables used for it. That process currently takes about 40 minutes on our environment, while I hoped that upgrading to an Equillogic with 16 SAS drives with RAID10 for more IOPS would fix the issue, while it did improve a bit, the result is the similar. Could it be that there are indices missing? Or is there something else which could be done that might improve this? I can create some indices myself to see if things improve in a shadow environment, but I'm not sure if that would break things with future SVN update's if done in production ?

Upper case letters?
by Dan Draghici 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

Hello, I`ve installed observium and it works great so far but I have a small issue. I see that it automatically makes the device names into lowercase letters. For example if you type "CoreRouter" it will end up showing as "corerouter". Is it possible to make the names with uppercase? I have a rather large network and having the names of the devices show up with uppercase would really help when browsing through observium. Thanks, Dan D.

Another integration question...nfsen
by Morgan McLean 23 Jul '12

23 Jul '12

I don't think I'm being as retarded with this one. Sorry if I am. nfsen running for a single firewall cluster at the moment, cfw.sv.domain.com. I can view nfsen's interface and see all of the data etc, so I know my netflow is working properly and nfsen can run reports on it etc. I get cannot generate graph when going to the nfsen tab directly via url options, it does not show up in tabs list otherwise. Is there something major here I'm doing wrong? IE smokeping I pointed to png files instead of RRD files :). I've tried temporary universal read write etc for testing purposes, didn't help. I tried using the nfsen_suffix option at first, but ended up ditching that and spelling out the entire hostname under nfsen to eliminate a possible trouble spot. nfsen output on start: [root(a)netmon01.ops bin]# ./nfsen start Starting nfcapd:(cfw_sv_domain_com)[7154] Starting nfsend.

Ignoring down / notconnected ports
by Benedikt Sveinsson 23 Jul '12

23 Jul '12

Hi - I have not been able to find this, we started trying/using Observium for few weeks. We intend to use it mostly to compliment our current monitoring software. We are impressed with it, but the main intention is graphing and helping us troubleshooting. We are monitoring large 6500 switches and we have a number of ports that we intentionally keep in the cisco notconnected state. The front page of Observium is then riddled with the "Port Down" messages. Can this be suppressed / ignored ? I hope I'm not asking a question that has been answered many times, but google fails me here - and I'm still getting around understanding how Observium functions.

Smokeping integration
by Morgan McLean 21 Jul '12

21 Jul '12

Hi, I have a machine named techops01, I have a directory /opt/smokeping/ that is running smokeping. cache/ has the png files etc. I've tried pointing to both, readding the host, rediscovering, nothing. Additionally, smokeping does not allow "." in the host name. I saw somebody had a patch for observium to add conversion of '_' to '.' , did this ever make it into code? I haven't seen a flag ### smokeping testing $config['smokeping']['dir'] = "/opt/smokeping/cache/"; also tried ### smokeping testing $config['smokeping']['dir'] = "/opt/smokeping/"; Its not a permissions issue, its 777 now for testing purposes. Thank you! Morgan

New install only shows website header.
by Lasse Leegaard 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

I just did my first install of observium after a very convicing demo by a friend. However the website only loads the header (or parts of it). When I add /debug to the address I get this output Notice: Undefined index: page_title in /opt/observium/html/index.php on line 107 Notice: Undefined index: widescreen in /opt/observium/html/index.php on line 125 Notice: Undefined index: bare in /opt/observium/html/index.php on line 217 Notice: Undefined index: widescreen in /opt/observium/html/includes/header.inc.php on line 18 Widescreen<http://observium.brandbil.dk/debug?widescreen=yes>| Notice: Undefined index: authenticated in /opt/observium/html/includes/header.inc.php on line 25 Not logged in! Fatal error: Class 'Net_IPv6' not found in /opt/observium/html/includes/header.inc.php on line 32 For installation I followed this guide and also created a virtual host to run the observium webserver from: http://www.observium.org/wiki/Ubuntu_SVN_Installation I did everything and all the guide says - in that order - and did not do anything other than that. Obviously it seems like a problem with the Net_IPv6 package in PHP. Ubuntu is 10.04 and I meet all the requirements set forth in the requirements section of the install page. I am aware it might not be an observium error as such, but the googles is not really that helfull and my own skills are lacking a bit when it comes to webservers. -- -Lasse-

blank graphs
by Miguel Alejandro González 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

So I followed the ubuntu svn installation tutorial and managed to get observium to run... (commenting the function gethostbyname) But anyway... So far I have been able to log in to the web app and... the app has recorded all the info from the device I want to monitor... but somehow all the graphs are blank with nan values The device in question right now is in idle mode, just receiving packets from network equipment and sometimes ICMP (ping) packets. So maybe I'm doing this wrong and it needs to be in active mode receiving all kinds of requests.... but even the memory and processes graphs are blank... What could it be? Cron? I'm missing some configuration? Do I need to follow more of your documents? I'm a little confused... sorry I'm a n00b using this app I following these tuts: http://www.observium.org/wiki/Ubuntu_SVN_Installation (Completed the Installation section and the Debian > 6.0 and Ubuntu > 11.04 section) http://www.observium.org/wiki/NetSNMPd_Client_Configuration Regards!

I'm following this tut: http://www.observium.org/wiki/Ubuntu_SVN_Installation because both of my machine have ubuntu installed So I have two servers, server A is IPv6 only (i have installed Observium here, ubuntu 12.04) server B is IPv6/IPv4 (i want to monitor this machine, ubuntu 10.04) both machines are in a ipv6 network with cisco equipment (routers/switches) I configured the snmp client in server B, following this tutorial: http://www.observium.org/wiki/NetSNMPd_Client_Configuration And currently I'm stuck on this step, from the installation tutorial Add a first device to monitor: ./addhost.php <hostname> <community> v2c I get a message like this "coud not resolve hostname" Having said that, I have full connectivity between the machines and I configured a hostname in /etc/hosts, so I run this command (ubuntuservers is the community name i configured in server B) ./addhost.php server6 ubuntuservers v2c And I get the error message. I only modified these variables in config.php $config['db_user'] = "observium"; $config['db_pass'] = "mypass"; (a random password) $config['nets'][] = "2001:23::24/96"; What am I doing wrong, can you help me? Regards!!

Force Device Type Change?
by Robert Williams 13 Jul '12

13 Jul '12

Hi all, Is there a way to force a device to be treated as a different kind of device when it is polled? I've tried changing the "Type" under "Device Settings" but this does not have the desired effect. Reason for asking, we have several UPS systems which are successfully being polled by Observium (all are Reillo units, running NetMan Plus cards). We also have another system which is running a CS121 card (in a PW9000 DPA-250kVA unit). This system is polled by our Cacti server in exactly the same way as the Riello units and we get the same data from all of them. However, Observium will not see this UPS as a UPS, just a "Generic Device" and as such will not poll it for RFC1628 OIDs. Any ideas on a fix or 'tweak' to make it think it's a UPS and poll it? Thanks in advance! Robert Williams Backline / Operations Team Custodian DataCentre tel: +44 (0)1622 230382 email: Robert(a)CustodianDC.com http://www.custodiandc.com/disclaimer.txt

SLA graphs showing as broken icons
by Cushard Michael 13 Jul '12

13 Jul '12

Hi, I was wondering if SLA graphing was working, or if it is simply my installation that's borked. I'm on build 3323 and I have SLAs enabled in my config file, and I can see the SLA-XX.rrd files in my RRD directory, but the SLA tab in the GUI displays broken links. I've been testing Observium for the last few days and have over 10,000 ports in it with integration of rancid and smokeping. So far it's working fine, apart from my SLA issue. Regards, Michael

Observium monitoring ZFS on FreeBSD
by Laurens Vets 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

Hello, Is anybody monitoring a FreeBSD machine which is using ZFS? It seems there's an issue with discovering storage... For instance, I have the following filesystem on a pool: [me@host ~]$ zfs list NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT storage 5.14T 208G 64.3K /storage ... storage/temp 2.59T 208G 2.59T /storage/temp ...

Brocade ifAlias
by Daniel Hooper 06 Jul '12

06 Jul '12

Hi All, Recently installed Observium today and very impressed so far, I have been busily migrating a boot load of stuff out of the not so free anymore Opsview into Observium all day. For my Cisco kit it's working great, unfortunately I'm hitting a few road blocks with my shiny new Brocade DC-6910 switches. I made a change to a poller include file to detect ironware / foundry switches and added the BR6910 string, what I still can't figure out is the ifAlias on the Brocades, it just comes back as 'Ethernet Port 3 on Unit 1' every time regardless of what the physical interface description is configured to. Anyone got any ideas on how to get around this one? Thanks -Dan

trouble ignoring switch ports - update broke functionality
by Henrik Lund Kramshøj 26 Jun '12

26 Jun '12

Hi All I have Observium running for some time and currently at [hlk@wiseguy01 observium]$ sudo svn up At revision 3310. After Observium SVN upgrade I cannot seem to ignore certain ports from Dell PowerConnect switches (might not be only those) from high port numbers I get "Device record unchanged. No update necessary." this happens currently on two switch stacks that are quite large, both 10 units single port 9/0/35 on one stack lots of ports from units 8, 9, 10 on the other stack Those cannot be ignored. I tested using ports 1/0/4 and 7/0/51 that I can ignore/unignore another port on this switch. also tried removing the switch completely and adding it again. Any pointers or ideas? Where to look for this - used to work fine. BTW I noticed to other ports were changed today - we moved a server, and changing those on a Dell 8024F gave the expected " 2 Device record updated." and were updated fine.

Sensors not picking up, get rediscovered 4 times a day
by Morgan McLean 26 Jun '12

26 Jun '12

My logs look like this...any idea why its not picking up? I have about 50 juniper devices, an APC device and a couple others and it doesn't seem to monitor or graph any of the sensors. I have seen some information about sensor configuration under config.php, but it wasn't very helpful. Every time the discovery runs, or maybe its the poller, not sure, it finds all these sensors for every device, but it does nothing with them. Is there a switch I need to flip? Thanks!

up / down gives no warning
by Ian Armstrong 24 Jun '12

24 Jun '12

Hi, Observium has been working very well over the past few months and now I want to begin tailoring it for our network specifically. We use an Ubuntu install as per the instructions and had no install problems. On the overview page we get an orange warning for a non-ignored link that goes into the (Cisco) down/down state BUT NOT when they are up/down. Is this a setting, bug or feature? If it can be changed does anyone know how - I would like a warning for any link that goes down/down and up/down. I have looked through the documentation, options and settings but find nothing. I also tried [alert][port][ifdown] as a long shot. Any help would be great. Thanks Ian

Speaking of Observium's pretty graphsŠ
by Andrew Beals 13 Jun '12

13 Jun '12

One of our clients uses a very large HP ProCurve 4108gl switch as the central hub of their network. When I'm looking at traffic graphs from it for large spaces of time, I invariably see it pegged to +/- 20Gbps because of some traffic spikes during the day (e.g. Windows clients talking to WSUS and downloading their patches). If I zoom in on one of the "empty" stretches of time, I see that there is actually some traffic flowing – it's just so small in comparison that it gets flatlined by the spikes. What I'd like to be able to do is to change the graph from a linear one in the Y (bps) axis to a logarithmic one, so I can see my traffic. For example, here's the past 24 hours: [cid:5CBC68CF-394E-403F-9F59-AB51C6450F66] (The rrdtool command that produces this graph is truly impressive and only crawls out of its blue box with the last set of CDEF statements before the giant list of AREA statements.) (All graphs generated for this e-mail use the same time span on the same hardware) I know, I know, "Use the Source, Luke!", but I've only watched the commits fly past, not actually dug into the code past the config file (and this doesn't appear to be a configuration option). rrdtool_graph() is called in three places, and fortunately only defined in one. Applying the obvious small patch: Index: html/includes/graphs/graph.inc.php =================================================================== --- html/includes/graphs/graph.inc.php (revision 3268) +++ html/includes/graphs/graph.inc.php (working copy) @@ -146,6 +146,7 @@ if ($rrd_options) { + $rrd_options .= " --logarithmic"; rrdtool_graph($graphfile, $rrd_options); if ($debug) { echo($rrd_cmd); } if (is_file($graphfile)) Nets me this: [cid:806F0C8F-84AE-4C4F-8D2D-04802B3A5EB7] Which could probably use a little more tweaking. I'd rather see SI "-bi-" units on the left rather than scientific notation. Also, it does tend to whack the CPU pretty hard figuring it all out, pegging both of the CPUs in the old ml350 I'm using for monitoring. Running "rrdgraph" at "nice +4" (or better) would likely be a win w/r/t data collection. This patch: Index: html/includes/graphs/graph.inc.php =================================================================== --- html/includes/graphs/graph.inc.php (revision 3268) +++ html/includes/graphs/graph.inc.php (working copy) @@ -146,6 +146,7 @@ if ($rrd_options) { + $rrd_options .= " --logarithmic --units=si"; rrdtool_graph($graphfile, $rrd_options); if ($debug) { echo($rrd_cmd); } if (is_file($graphfile)) Nets this: [cid:4C488D23-BF57-49B9-BBBE-C2D43F0E17AF] I'm pretty happy with this, overall. For those who are curious, the ProCurve Switch 4108gl has a claimed capacity of: routing/switching capacity 36.6 Gbps Throughput up to 71.4 mpps Being able to tweak individual graphs to show logarithmically would probably be nice, just to save some CPU for graphs that don't really need it. -- Andrew Beals Cell: 913-787-7538 Desk: 913-948-8782 E-mail: ABeals(a)mersoft.com<mailto:ABeals@mersoft.com>

Pretty Graphs
by Adam Armstrong 08 Jun '12

08 Jun '12

Hi All, It occurs to me that one of the reasons we've managed to keep the project alive for 6 years is that everyone loves graphs. It's one thing to store a bunch of numbers and draw a line, but it's a totally different thing to craft a pretty graph from those numbers. If any of you have graphs or pages that look particularly good, feel free to email us a screenshot, it'd be nice to break up the deafening torrent of inane cat pictures, right? We might even use them on the screenshots page :) adam.

Editing user passwords

Just had a user that could not, for whatever reason, log into our Observium installation. So, I was going to reset the password, but editing the user, found nothing there to do that. Seems that there is no way for anyone other than each user to edit passwords after the account is initially created? And if that user cannot log in, they cannot do it. I ended up deleting the login, recreating it, and then re-linking the devices, ports and bills the user has access to. Did I miss something? Chris -- Chris Stone AxisInternet, Inc. www.axint.net

Hello, On April 19th, I installed the last version of Observium from the Ubuntu instructions there http://www.observium.org/wiki/Ubuntu_SVN_Installation (I am using Ubuntu 10.10 server). Everything worked, I gathered a lot of interesting data about my devices, I was happy. Yesterday, I updated to the very latest version of Observium following the instructions there http://www.observium.org/wiki/Using_SVN#Upgrading_to_the_very_latest_version. After completing this upgrade, I can't log in Observium anymore and it doesn't poll the devices as specified in /etc/cron.d/observium. Today I installed the last stable release following http://www.observium.org/wiki/Using_SVN#Upgrading_to_a_specific_release_of_… that it would solve my 2 problems but they remain. What would be the simplest way to re-install everything without losing my data? Thanks! Charles -- Charles Nadeau Ph.D. http://charlesnadeau.blogspot.com/

Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE) Support
by John Macleod 28 May '12

28 May '12

I manage numerous CUBE devices in my environment. I would like to use Observium for monitoring. The CUBE deployment is essentially an IP-IP voice gateway with two (or more) dial peers. Currently, they just show as they should as standard Cisco routers. Per the following link http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6790/gatecont/ps5640/w… there are some applicable Cisco MIBS for monitoring the voice elements of these devices, they appear to use the same voice MIBs as other Cisco devices, such as the AS5xxx. I do not know if it is possible during discovery/polling to see if voice is enabled on the platform or not and show/hide the applicable polled data? I would have no issue opening up a CUBE device for testing if anyone is interested. Thanks, John

Jira and Fisheye
by Adam Armstrong 25 May '12

25 May '12

Hi All, Just to remind everyone we have a Jira installation for reporting bugs. It's helpful when reporting things as it means I don't forget about them (which I have a habit of doing). It's a lot easier when I get some time to just look at Jira and clear out a couple than trying to remember what things people have reported via email. http://jira.observium.org We also have a Fisheye installation at http://fisheye.observium.org which gives a nice interface to our code. If you're reporting an error with a graph on a particular module, it's often helpful to send examples of the rrd files and an entry from the database (if you know how), as otherwise it can be a nightmare for us to test. adam.

Public Graphing Display
by Adam Blackington 23 May '12

23 May '12

The FAQ's and Configuration state that I can display graphs without requiring a username or password. This is great... but... here's the question I've made the appropriate modifications to config.php, however, what URL do I use to get to the public graphs? I tried looking at the URL of generated images, however, that doesn't seem to be correct. So you can understand my goal: I run a colocation company and require my customers to be able to review their bandwidth statistics. I utilize WHMCS and would like them to be able to view their graphs within their portal, thus, I've added the IP address of my WHMCS server as an 'authenticated' IP in config.php I'm thinking, once I can understand how to display the graphs, that I can use the port id as a variable to develop a custom module to display the graphs. So my questions are: After permitting an IP address to be able to view graphs without username/password, what is the syntax of the URL for displaying these graphs? It would be awesome to be able to integrate a custom range selection, but I'd really just settle for static generation of past 24 hours, past month, and past year.

I think it's worth pointing out that if you're planning to do any development, you should come to our IRC channel, #observium on freenode. It's usually a lot quicker to get questions answered, and you might save yourself a lot of time by not copying the wrong bit of code. adam.

Observium with an MFSYS25
by Ian Armstrong 14 May '12

14 May '12

Has anyone got Observium to recognise the switch module on an Intel MFSYS25 compute chassis by any chance? Observium finds the controller very easily, but doesn't find any of the switch ports. Thanks Ian

I used apt-get and installed all of the required packages as per the Ubutu installation page. It is running OK and has discovered the devices on my network. However, there is no information on any graphs. Not a single one. All the ports are correctly detected and it reading IP addresses and arp caches and most other information including CDP. No information on any graph and some are simply saying draw error.

rrdcached working?
by Jeffrey Ollie 09 May '12

09 May '12

Hi, I discovered Observium a few days ago and I really like what I see so far. However, I'm running into some issues trying to scale up to the size of my network. The first issue that I thought I'd bring up is rrdcached support... is it actually working? I've got an rrdcached instance running but as far as I can tell Observium isn't making any real use of it. I switched to a TCP/IP socket for rrdcached and I can see a TCP/IP socket being opened but no data or commands are ever sent across the socket... Can anyone clue me in as to what I may be doing wrong? I'm running rev 3149 on a Fedora 16 system. -- Jeff Ollie

SNMP Location can't have forward-slash

Hi, Just noticed a small issue, when an SNMP 'location' contains a forward slash (/) then the link doesn't work in the location's menu, for example: With a location set to "THN/TFM-10/C5" on the device, the link is auto-generated as "http://<server>/devices/location=THN%2FTFM-10%2FC5/" which then results in the error: Not Found The requested URL /devices/location=THN/TFM-10/C5/ was not found on this server. Currently running: Observium 0.12.4.2956 Apache 2.2.20 (Ubuntu) PHP 5.3.6-13ubuntu3.7 MySQL 5.1.62-0ubuntu0.11.10.1-log This isn't critical at all, but since I just noticed it I thought I'd mention it :) Cheers!

Possibility too acknowledge items in Overview
by Mattias Gyllenvarg 09 May '12

09 May '12

Hi All We see alot of jabber on the Overview page that is not really necessary and makes it hard too differ important information from trivial information. We would like too be able too Acknowledge items in the Overview so that it is not spammed with ports that are down for known reasons. Perhaps you could comment on the Ack and/or mark with a category (maintenance, power outage etc etc). Additionally I think that keywords in descriptions could generate different results in the overview (like ports are aggregated but for states). So that ports that are marked for installation and waiting for link should be hidden when down and shown green when up so that the provisioning team notices this and can take action. I see somewhere you can define a regexp that will look at the interface description and when true would inverse the up/down relationship. Also, bug, when the uptime counter loops on IOS devices they are marked as reloaded. -- *Med Vänliga Hälsningar - Best Regards* *Mattias Gyllenvarg* *Nätutveckling* Bredband2 - bara hårda paket Tel: +46 406219712

NLNOG Ring
by Adam Armstrong 01 May '12

01 May '12

Hi All, I'd like to direct your attention to another project run by some friends of mine: the NLNOG RING. The project is based around the goals of making network debugging much easier. When trying to debug complex problems and plan future upgrades, a point of view from outside your network is absolutely essential. Seeing what others see is incredibly useful when dealing with a variety of network problems. Well known examples are 'it works for even numbered ip address, but not for odd numbered ip address via this and this route'. To streamline such debugging the NLNOG RING was formed. In essence the project is very simple: you make a (virtual) machine available to the RING, and you gain access on all other servers which are part of the RING. The project currently has 98 nodes, located on 89 participant networks in 24 countries. The RING provides tools to trivially launch a ping from all these nodes and summarize the results to, other examples are distributed tracerouting and MTU testing. The RING also maintains a record of latencies between nodes using smokeping to help identify historic problems. Before applying to join, keep the following requirements in mind: * The organisation you work for has BGP routers connected to the "Default Free Zone". * Your organisation has its own ASN, IPv4 and IPv6 prefix(es). * You have enable or configure rights on those routers. * You have permission from your organisation to become involved in the NLNOG RING. Have a look at https://ring.nlnog.net/for more information. You can also email ring-admins(a)ring.nlnog.net with any questions you have. adam.

problem with Sentry3-MIB, 3 phase CDU's
by Darrell Budic 21 Apr '12

21 Apr '12

Hi, Running Observium 0.11.12.2749 on SL5 for this issue. Updated to 3069 and still has the same issues. But anyway: Noticed my Sentry CDU's were not picking up current or voltage information, tracked it down to a issue with the MIB. Not sure if it's the MIB in general or my version of the snmp utilities, but the discovery module complains it can't find the MIB when run in debug mode. Turns out my snmpget doesn't like the whitespace before the "Sentry3-MIB DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN" line. I removed the whitespace and discovered the sensors. Then I noticed I had 3 phase CDU's, and the discovery code for the Sentrys only deals with 1 phase units. Here's the diffs of my hack to enable detection of all 3 phases. I think this will work on single phase units as well, although it will probably take a little longer as it scans for the nonexistent phases.

Data collection stopped

20 Apr '12

Data collection stopped today - running build 3060 - was working fine with that for awhile, so not sure what happened. Running poller manually I get the error: dot3StatsDuplexStatus/usr/bin/snmpbulkwalk -v2c -c public -OQUs -m EtherLike-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs udp:axis-core-01.axint.net:161 dot3StatsDuplexStatus dot3StatsDuplexStatus = No Such Object available on this agent at this OID SQL[SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `ports` WHERE `device_id` = '1' AND `ifType` = 'adsl'] /usr/bin/snmpbulkwalk -v2c -c public -OQUs -m Q-BRIDGE-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs udp:axis-core-01.axint.net:161 dot1qPortVlanTable dot1qPortVlanTable = No Such Object available on this agent at this OID /usr/bin/snmpbulkwalk -O QUs -v2c -c public -M /opt/observium/mibs -m Q-BRIDGE-MIB udp:axis-core-01.axint.net:161 dot1qVlanCurrentEgressPorts 2>/dev/null dot1qVlanCurrentEgressPorts = No Such Object available on this agent at this OID /usr/bin/snmpbulkwalk -v2c -c public -OQUs -m Q-BRIDGE-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs udp:axis-core-01.axint.net:161 dot1dBasePortIfIndex dot1dBasePortIfIndex = No Such Object available on this agent at this OID SQL[SELECT * FROM `ports` WHERE `device_id` = '1'] Port lo(1) PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in /opt/observium/includes/polling/ports.inc.php on line 168 Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in /opt/observium/includes/polling/ports.inc.php on line 168 Suggestions?

I/O wait
by Ciro Iriarte 19 Apr '12

Hi!, I noticed just today that observium doesn't graph i/o wait time from CPU usage. Only user/nice/system/idle, i/o wait is not provided by SNMP or it's just missing in Observium? Regards, -- Ciro Iriarte http://cyruspy.wordpress.com --

Remove ports from Web Overview
by Philip Möller 16 Apr '12

16 Apr '12

Hi, I have a performance issue with the Observium Web Interface. The Apache2 webserver needs about 4-5 minutes to load all graphs of some devices. The devices are CISCO NEXUS 5548 switches with CISCO NEXUS 2248 FEX (Fabric Extenders). One 5548 switch will have about 7488 Interfaces when fully populated (48 local interfaces + 48 local virtual interfaces + 24 * 52 + 52 interfaces for the extenders). I do not need to monitor or graph all the edge / access layer ports but only the backbone ports ( 144 ports ). As far as I understand the documentation all ports flagged as disabled are not polled any more and all ports that are deleted are not shown by the Apache2. Unfortunately the poller.php run updates disabled = 0 for all ports found on the device and they are back in the web interface overview. I cannot find the statement in the poller.php debug output but all Ports with deleted = 1 set manually are updated to deleted = 0 after a poller.php run. My question is if there is any way to delete available ports I do not want to have in the web overview or to drain those ports from the web interface. With bet regards, --- Philip Möller Senior Linux Systemadministrator International IT Operations Bigpoint GmbH Drehbahn 47-48 20354 Hamburg | Germany Tel: +49(0)40.88 1413-356 Cell: +49(0)151 27471095 E-Mail: p.moeller(a)bigpoint.net<mailto:p.moeller@bigpoint.net> --- CEO: Heiko Hubertz Business Registration: HRB-Hamburg 94148

Re: [Observium] Date Picker broken
by Timo Ament 12 Apr '12

12 Apr '12

Hi Folks, same issue as Bruce - setting the Date Picker reverts you back to the start-page. Normally, when opening a graph the url is something like: http://observium/graphs/type=customer_bits/to=1334238800/id=server/from=133… Now when changing the time-range and klicking "update" the URL is beeing transformed into: http://observium/index.php/graphs/type=customer_bits/to=1334238800/id=serve… When i remove the index.php from the url i am getting the desired result. Currently running 3026 Regards Timo Am 12.04.2012 13:00, schrieb observium-request(a)observium.org: > Re: Date Picker broken

Date Picker broken
by Bruce-Young Majola 12 Apr '12

Hi, Please have a look at the date picker for graphs, it looks to be broken and the latest version of Observium. It takes you back to the "Home" page whenever you click the Update button. Is anyone having the same issue? Regards, Bruce DISCLAIMER: The information in this message is confidential and may be legally privileged. It is intended solely for the addressee.

Device Graphs page blank

Not sure when this started, but I've got a couple of Linux servers where suddenly the Graphs tab on them blank.

PIX 501 support
by Chris Stone 06 Apr '12

06 Apr '12

I have a couple of Cisco PIX 501's setup in Observium, but they are being seen only as Generic Devices: Cisco PIX Firewall Version 6.3(5) Operating System Generic Device Contact support(a)axint.net Location Denver, CO Uptime 291 days, 22h 45m 55s And the only graphs I am getting are Uptime and the ethernet port counters (traffic, packets, etc). Nothing for memory or cpu. Both firewalls are the same - here's the info on one of them: voip-fw# show ver Cisco PIX Firewall Version 6.3(5) Cisco PIX Device Manager Version 3.0(4) Compiled on Thu 04-Aug-05 21:40 by morlee voip-fw up 291 days 22 hours Hardware: PIX-501, 16 MB RAM, CPU Am5x86 133 MHz Flash E28F640J3 @ 0x3000000, 8MB BIOS Flash E28F640J3 @ 0xfffd8000, 128KB 0: ethernet0: address is 0016.c836.223a, irq 9 1: ethernet1: address is 0016.c836.223c, irq 10 Licensed Features: Failover: Disabled VPN-DES: Enabled VPN-3DES-AES: Enabled Maximum Physical Interfaces: 2 Maximum Interfaces: 2 Cut-through Proxy: Enabled Guards: Enabled URL-filtering: Enabled Inside Hosts: 10 Throughput: Unlimited IKE peers: 10 My understanding was that PIX firewalls were supported. Is what I am getting all the support there currently is? Or is there something else I need to do to enable cpu and memory counters. I had them setup in Cacti previously, so it would seem that the SNMP counters do exist. -- Chris Stone AxisInternet, Inc. www.axint.net

ATM interfaces not showing on Device Overview

Hi Adam, I am having a strange issues which I need your help in troubleshooting. I have this 7606 which has ATM interfaces configured but the problem is that when I discover this device, all the interfaces are discovered include ATM ones but as soon as the poller runs, they disappear again. I am not sure how to fix this issues. I am running the latest version of Observium. Thanks for your help.

Re: [Observium] poller doesn’t kick the apache-stats.py script
by Andrew Beals 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

Rather than modifying the poller script, simply commenting out the "mibs :" line at the bottom of /etc/snmp/snmp.conf on your Observium server box is sufficient to get the polling to work correctly. Ubuntu put that line in citing "licensing issues" with the MIBs.

rrd time selection is wrong
by Nikolay Shopik 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

It seems like when you select time to show graph it doesn't take in consideration timezone. Basically if I select from 18:00 till now and press update time in "From" field update to 22:00 (I have GMT+4 zone). You can click update multiply times and graph time will be moving after each click.

SNMPv3 implementation
by Guillaume Leclanche 31 Mar '12

31 Mar '12

Hello, attached is the patch for the implementation of SNMPv3. I've been testing it on my system and devices, and it seems to be working properly. Since it's a core function of the soft, I guess it would be good that other people give it a try before it is committed. I use NET-SNMP version: 5.4.3. Be careful that a few files use direct calls to net-snmp instead of calling observium library functions. It means that those calls will not work with an snmpv3 device. includes/discovery/cisco-mac-accounting.inc.php: $datas = shell_exec($config['snmpbulkwalk'] .

Cisco-vrf discovery - huge performance improvement
by Guillaume Leclanche 31 Mar '12

31 Mar '12

Hi, As I wanted to make Cisco VRF discovery SNMPv3-compatible, I realized that it was actually very slow. So I change the philosophy of it (bulkwalk all SNMP info first then analyze in the code), and here's the result for a device with 500 VRFs: Old version : Discovered in 65.83 seconds New version : Discovered in 3.234 seconds At the same time I made it SNMPv3-compatible, and I added the support for CISCO-L3VPN-STD-MIB that is the more recent MIB and the only one supported on the latest releases of IOS/IOS-XR. I tested it with Cisco Hw and it's fine, but for the other vendors implementing the MIB, somebody else will have to test it :) Guillaume

When you open Total Traffic graph, you may see in Legend interfaces which doesn't really exist on this device. Additionally sometimes you may see duplicate interfaces in Legend, which do exist. I wonder what may cause of this and to fix it?

bug report: Billing Traffic
by Timbo a la Bazzi 16 Mar '12

16 Mar '12

Hi There, How can I make a bug report? The forum is closed for registration, the bugtracker also, so I hope this is the correct way and I can help in the future maybe, because the software is awesome! I have the following situation: The polling is done correctly and it shows the same results as cacti for my switch. Buw when I add billing and make a bill for a port with Quota the first time I add for example 20GB it shows like 20B. If i then edit it it shows correctly as 20GB (so not 2.0E-8), so there is a work around. When I add a bill for multiple ports the sum is totally wrong. For example. I made a bill of 5 ports and 5 bills of each port, so I can check. If a manually sum the 5 bills/ports I get around 80GB. But when I look at the SUMMED bill it says 1.47PB I have added the billing feature this way: http://www.observium.org/wiki/Billing What am I doing wrong and if it is a bug how can I correct it? So there are 2 problems: initial quota is set wrong, but can be corrected. -> Bug with a work around quota calculated to high values -> bug or misconfiguration, but I can't find anything about it: So you can see the sum of the 5 ports are 9.36Gbps and it are 5x 100MBit ports ;-) The switch that I am monitoring is a HP2524 Thanks in advance!

discovery.php repeatedly trying to upgrade database
by David Brodbeck 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

I did an svn up recently, and am now at r2879. I ran discovery.php to update the database afterwards, and it went fine; however, now my discovery.php processes hang trying to install old database updates: $ ./discovery.php -h new Observium v0.12.2.2879 Discovery -- Updating database schema 000 -> 001 ... done (0 errors). 001 -> 002 ... The result is the discovery.php processes stack up and eventually exceed the database connection limit. Any ideas on why it persists on trying to update my already up-to-date database? -- David Brodbeck System Administrator, Linguistics University of Washington

Traffic
by Nuno Dias 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

Hi, I'm testing the observium and already added a couple of devices, (several switch one router and some linux boxes) All this devices have at least 1Gb network cards or ports in the case of switchs, some have 10Gb ports. But in my graphs I have at most 100/120 Mb peaks, but I'm sure that I have more traffic in some ports, because I have other monitoring system (cacti) showing that. I remember that in cacti I had to configure the counters to be 64-bits and convert bytes in bits. So, do I need to configure in observium this kind of things? if yes where? or this is some kind of bug? Thanks Nuno -- Nuno Dias <ndias(a)lip.pt> LIP

Limit Views and devices groups
by Ciro Iriarte 20 Feb '12

20 Feb '12

Hi!, how do you guys scale in heterogeneous administrative environments?. For example: - Within an administrative domain would be nice to group the devices involved in a particular high level service. - Currently I have a mix of devices and would like to see them all, but some administrator for example would like to see only their hardware. Would it be possible to limit access to a set of devices?. >From what I know, the only way right now would be to have many observium instances for different people, but that would be an issue if some people would like to see all the hardware....

LDAP authentication with AD

widescreen ports graphs
by Nikolay Shopik 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

Hey Adam, Just quick note, that widescreen mode on ports graph doesn't working property. These 4 graphs should fill all available width, but instead using proportion from normal mode. And I wonder if there way we could able to select multiply different port types, like transit+peering. I mean come up with different control where you could select not only one state?

Feature Request/Suggestion: Trending
by Ciro Iriarte 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

Hi, it would be really helpful for Capacity Planning to include Trending support, as far as I know, RRDTool already has support for it. Maybe adding trending on all graphs is not the best option, because for one graph there are many data sources, and while one can choose what one thinks would be the most obvious candidate another user might need to do the trending using other datasource... Maybe adding a separate TAB where one can choose what to graph with trending would be the most "universal" solution, or maybe a mix of both, graph the obvious by default and enable and "advanced" tab for trending on demand...

Patch to monitor by-outlet APC MasterSwitch bars
by Jordan Kirby 08 Dec '11

Hi, We have recently installed some APC power bars that can be monitored by outlet (AP8653). I have written a patch for Observium (attached) that creates sensor for each of the ports on a AP8653. The patch also includes getting the input voltage for the newer "rPDU2" type power bars. I found the snmp queries to be slow against these new apcs when returning the current information, hence the increased timeout. Any suggestions/improvements are more than welcome! Regards Jordan

poller doesn’t kick the apache-stats.py script
by Fältman, Mikael 30 Nov '11

”Observium 0.11.10.2693” I have set up Observium as instructed to monitor an apache server. Everything seems work fine except that there is no data in the graphs . Doing a manual snmp poll from Observium server returns data and the /tmp/apache-snmp file is creataed on the remote server so I know that the script has been executed. (Snmpwalk -O qv -v2c -c xx webhost NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutputFull -M /opt/observium/mibs) Adding the App to the Device in Observium worked. mysql> select * from applications; +--------+-----------+----------+ | app_id | device_id | app_type | +--------+-----------+----------+ | 1 | 24 | apache | +--------+-----------+----------+ 1 rows in set (0.00 sec) The graphs are created under Apps->Apache But there is no data ! When running the poller.php scrip everythings seems fine. The script outputs: Applications: apache The RRDs is created and the timestamp on the file is updated every 5 min. app-apache-1.rrd A rrdtool dump shows only NAN BUT ! The file /tmp/apache-snmp is not created on the remote server when the poller.php script runs !? (I have removed it after testing) It seems that the poller doesn’t kick the apache-stats.py script on the remote server ! Am I missing something ?

Hey, I'm just find this graph http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping-demo/?displaymode=n;start=2011-11-30%2012:2… And though it will be nice (if possible) to draw empty(NA) values using different color, like on graph I show.
