Missing information in alert emails
by Haris Hajlovac | HTL 25 Jun '21

25 Jun '21

Hello, Since we've upgraded Observium to the latest version (21.6.11399 (stable)) the alert emails we receive are missing information for most of the devices. Prior to the upgrade email alerts looked like this: After the upgrade alert e-mails look like this: We can revert the virtual machine to the state prior to upgarde but we'd prefer to have it running the latest version of Observium. Does anybody ha san idea on what could be the problem here? Thanks. Kind regardss, Haris

RANCID integration question
by Adam Thompson 10 Jun '21

10 Jun '21

I'd like to integrate our RANCID install with our Observium install, but the "generate-rancid.php" script includes over 100 devices that we have SNMP access to but not SSH, and excludes some other virtual devices that I do want to include. The script appears to simply key off whether the device is classed as "hardware" or not, which isn't adequate for us. Are there any enhancements to that script on the wings? If not, can I just manually edit the generated list and never re-run the script automatically (despite the warning in it)? Thanks, -Adam

URL /graph.php

Hi, I would like to use /graph.php to get graph (port graphs). I will use authenticated query with header /Authorization: Basic <digest>/ But this request doesn't work as authenticated query is not allowed for /graph.php url. I believe /graph.php is not an API query scheme, but it should? be possible to include /graph.php as one. Does another query, header, parameters exists to fetch a graph without a session (API request) ? What do you think of this patch in order to allow authenticated query to /graph.php: Original file is the one of revision 11382: --- html/includes/authenticate.inc.php.orig 2021-06-08 15:35:43.633475678 +0200 +++ html/includes/authenticate.inc.php.new 2021-05-28 23:53:35.354798084 +0200 @@ -403,7 +403,7 @@ } } - if ($auth_success && !OBS_API && !OBS_AJAX) + if ($auth_success && !OBS_API && !OBS_AJAX && !OBS_GRAPH) { // If just logged in go to request uri, unless we're debugging or in API, // in which case we want to see authentication module output first. -- Jérôme Marteaux

Option to Ignore Device Down due to DNS failure
by Pisano, Anthony D. 03 Jun '21

03 Jun '21

Hello, We have had a couple incidents where for one reason or another Observium has been unable to resolve DNS. This generates hundreds of emails saying the entire network is down, and again when it comes back up. Is there a way to tell Observium not to alert when a device is failed due to DNS lookup?

Dear all, I'm dealing with my telco provider about snmp agent configuration on all Cisco devices. They want to push some restrictions with a "customer view" which will restrict the access to some OIDs. I wonder if there is a way to list all OIDs used by a device in order to ask them to allow such entire list ? Thanks in advance for your help. Rds, Tarik.

Performance tuning
by Lars Joergensen 19 May '21

19 May '21

Hi We have one Observium server looking at * 476 devices (mainly switches, some firewalls, some WAN routers) * 3666 ports * 8692 sensors The server has 6 cores (~70% idle, ~3% iowait) and 8 GB memory. We have configured 15 poller threads with max 6 allowed wrapper processes. The server is struggling to keep the polling cycle below 300 seconds (averaging 376 secs). Is this workload realistic for one server, and if so where do you suggest we tune? Or do we need to use a distributed setup?

API, get syslog alarms list by device id
by Vasiliy Moroz 10 May '21

10 May '21

Dear Observium community, I usе Observium and the more I use it more I love it :) I use the Observium syslog interface for pushing to Observium syslog alerts. For now, I am developing customer personal web service where they could see their telecom services on the map with nodes states like ok, critical. There are on the map presented only part of the telco network their services go through. By API I get nodes' location and state so can show it on the map with nodes connections from my customer database. Except for alarms Observium gets by syslog integration. Is there any way to get syslog alerts by API and device id? I could analyze syslog alerts and set proper node status by syslog alerts if they are accessible. As I know it is impossible.

Google Secure LDAP - Working with a hack
by Pieter De Wit 04 May '21

04 May '21

Hi Guys, I have Google Secure LDAP working with Observium, but it requires a hack and hopefully the devs can implement this into the code base (after fixing my even more of my hacky hacks :) ) In config.php: $config['auth_ldap_server']="ldap://127.0.0.1:1636”; // We using the stunnel method $config['auth_ldap_port'] = 1636; // Not needed - at least, not that I could find $config['auth_ldap_starttls']=false; // Implemented with stunnel $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",ou=Secure_LDAP,ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com”; // Fix this for your domain unset ($config['auth_ldap_groups']); $config['auth_ldap_groups']['cn=observium']['level'] = 10; // Google does something funky with “groups" In html/includes/authentication/ldap.inc.php: After line 932: else { $filter="(&(".$dn.")".ldap_filter_create ($attribute, $value).")"; $ret=ldap_search ($ds,”dc=example,dc=com",$filter); // TODO : We need to figure out if ($ret !==FALSE) { $compare=TRUE; } } In a nutshell, ldap_compare doesn’t work for Google Secure LDAP - pretty much like https://jira.observium.org/browse/OBS-3611 <https://jira.observium.org/browse/OBS-3611> but then, if the ldap_read fails, we fallback to just doing a search for the “group” and where memberUid is the username provided. It might be worthwhile to look into setting a LDAP type variable and reacting to that. Hopefully this makes sense :) Cheers, Pieter

CBQOS Class Names only show "/"
by Evan Alexandre 03 May '21

03 May '21

Hello, I am a new user testing out Observium as a means of monitoring Cisco Class-Based Quality of Service (CBQoS). I have successfully added devices running Cisco IOS-XR 6.6.3 to the system for monitoring. However, the CBQoS tab of my device's ports is currently not showing any name for the different classes of policy maps applied to the ports. Instead, where the name should be, there is only "/ (output)". See attachment for screenshot of this issue. I believe this issue matches the following Jira ticket: https://jira.observium.org/browse/OBS-3130?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.s… Is there a known resolution or workaround this issue?

Optimisations for huge lb_pools
by Pieter De Wit 29 Apr '21

29 Apr '21

Hi Guys, We have some pretty large lb_virtuals (12000 entries), lb_pools (180000 entries) tables. I found that the poller was struggling to keep up with this (understandable IMHO). What I did find was MySQL appeared to be the bottleneck so after some debugging I added the following indexes: create index lb_virtuals_idx_1 on lb_virtuals (device_id,virt_name); create index lb_pools_idx_1 on lb_pools (device_id,pool_name); create index lb_snatpools_idx_1 on lb_snatpools (device_id,snatpool_name); The middle one had the biggest impact, since that is the biggest table. Here is the polling result showing the difference: Time Duration 2021-04-29 17:05:02 56s 2021-04-29 17:00:02 4m 19s Hopefully this can help someone else if they have an issue like this (I hope not for your sanity :D ) or perhaps the devs can advise a better way of doing it :) P.S. - The issue was that polling kept running over each other and that cause it to spiral out of control, data gaps where getting bigger and bigger and MySQL was pinned at 250-300% CPU (4 core box this) Cheers, Pieter

New Port Alert Checks Not Working
by Andre Geißler 26 Apr '21

Hi all I configured a port alert check and set test condition to "ifOperStatus eq down" and asssociation ruleset to "Port ifAlias match *!!!*". I can see entities (276 ports) are matched correctly but are listed without the device the ports belong to. Status of alert never changes from "0 0 0 0 276" It seems associations works fine but checks aren't executed no matter which association and conditions I try. A much more complex port check I configured years ago is working fine, new ones aren't. I'm on 21.4.11258 Thanks a lot Andre

Changing some devices to only poll every 10 or 15 minutes temporariliy?
by Damien Gardner 12 Apr '21

12 Apr '21

Hi all, I have a bit of an oddball one, hoping it's not horrible to be able to do... We have a few devices which have recently started taking > 5 mins to complete polling. This is leaving large gaps in our logs, and is also effecting discovery (as the polling of the devices are piling up on top of themselves and pushing load on those devices up heavily). For now I've just turned off polling on those devices, but that's not ideal either.. Is there a way to be able to just poll those manually at say 10 or 15 minute intervals? I shoved them into a group and excluded that group from our polls - and then ran poller.php -h deviceid on one device in cron every 15 mins to see how it would go - but we just get no graphs.. Also as a test, tried using rrdtool tune --step 900 to change the step size to 15 mins, but also no go (didn't really entirely expect it to..) Is there a not-horrible (or if it has to be, I'm ok with horrible in the short-term until the vendor can figure out what on earth is going on..) way to get these being polled on a 15-minute interval and also going into rrd's? (We're on the current paid subscription version, if that helps) Thanks, Damien [https://info.serversaustralia.com.au/hubfs/Brand-2018/logo-font-sau.gif] Damien Gardner Jnr Senior Dev Ops P: (02) 8115 8812 4 Amy Close, Wyong, NSW 2259 Need assistance?

Fix for small issue in poller-wrapper.py
by Damien Gardner 16 Mar '21

16 Mar '21

Hi Team, Been pulling my hair out for a large chunk of the day trying to sort out why our Huawei devices stopped polling after I split out polling run into two lots (one excluding the huawei devices group, one including it) Seems that when you enable debug with poller-wrapper.py<http://poller-wrapper.py/> (-d), it's passing a string to substring.check_call rather than a file, so it throws an exception and doesn't run the poller. The diff below is an example that seems to fix this issue (though I'm a php dev, not python, so someone who knows python might have a nicer way to do it..) root@observium:/opt/observium# svn diff poller-wrapper.py<http://poller-wrapper.py> Index: poller-wrapper.py<http://poller-wrapper.py> =================================================================== --- poller-wrapper.py<http://poller-wrapper.py> (revision 11124) +++ poller-wrapper.py<http://poller-wrapper.py> (working copy) @@ -837,7 +837,7 @@ command_args.extend(command_list) command_args.append(device_id) if debug: - command_out = temp_path + '/observium_' + process + '_' + str(device_id) + '.debug' + command_out = open(temp_path + '/observium_' + process + '_' + str(device_id) + '.debug', 'w') #print(command_args) #debug subprocess.check_call(map(str, command_args), stdout=command_out, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT) (This doesn't fix the group being polled but nothing appearing in the DB or RRDs, but I'm still trying to figure out what's going on there, I'm sure it's something borked in our DB or something..)

No graphs for 64bit network ports on arm
by Simon Smith 08 Mar '21

08 Mar '21

Hi All, Ive spotted a few weird issue with my new setup running on arm? 1. The first 4 ports on our TPLink switches are being detected as 64Bit and then the rest of the ports are 32Bit ? 2. the 64bit graphs are showing 0 for everything, even though the output from the command line shows stats? (See https://pastebin.com/raw/qP4T1Fa9 <https://pastebin.com/raw/qP4T1Fa9>) 3. The graphs are being generated so the RRDs are fine, but the graphs are blank? Regards Simon

Hi All, Im just wondering how to merge two rrds together?

Hi , We are using an OLT/ONT device Brand "Genexis" (http://www.genexis.co.in). Currently we have added Genexis- SOLT33-08P for testing. But it's not working fully as we are not getting connected ONT information. We have contacted the device vendor. They have provided us MIB of the devices(Link Provided below) but we are unable to make it work. In this regard we need support to add this device so that we can monitor those devices. Please let us know what we need to do .

Syslog Integration
by Shawn L 03 Mar '21

03 Mar '21

We recently implemented syslog integration. One thing that we miss however is having the logs in the syslog file. It's great to see them in Observium, but there are times where it's easier to grep the syslog file itself to see what's going on. Is there a way to keep the log entries in the syslog files, and still deliver copies to Observium? Thanks Shawn

Disable netstats for device type
by Robert Williams 02 Mar '21

02 Mar '21

Hi! We have a large number of 'Geist' PDU devices, each of which takes around 20-30 seconds to complete the 'netstats' poller element (due to the nasty tiny-brain device, not Observium): There is no data of value to us collected from this, so I'd like to just disable netstat collection for all current and future Geist devices. Is there a way to do this which doesn't involve clicking on each one and disabling that module manually? [cid:image001.png@01D70F52.9DBE2C60] I've trawled the DB as best I can to try to see where I can do this, but unable to identify where module enable/disablement is done. Closest I found is within the devices table, there is device_state and the netstats element is encoded in there in a way I cannot grasp unfortunately. Devices can be easily matched with: select * from devices where vendor like "geist" - so I'm hoping I can make a change globally somehow? Cheers!

Backup options for the MySQL database
by Michael Kelly 01 Mar '21

01 Mar '21

Hi Everybody, I recently started a new role at a company that uses Observium to monitor a fairly large estate. Observium (Professional edition) was originally installed on an EC2 instance running Debian 8 and MySQL 5.5 by someone who has long since departed the company. My task is to bring it all up to date and document it. I've created a new instance running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and MySQL 8.0.23 and testing the migration process hasn't thrown up any problems. One of the things my predecessor didn't do was to set up any backup regime for the database. As it happens, /var/lib/mysql is a logical volume and I've been looking at using lvm snapshots as part of a backup process. The basic idea would be to: Connect to the mysql daemon and issue a 'FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK' command. Create the LVM snapshot. Connect to the daemon and issue a 'UNLOCK TABLES' command. Do something with the snapshot. My questions are: Is this a good idea? Will it give me a consistent backup? Is there a better way? Thanks in advance, Michael.

Interface utilization metrics
by Kania, Piotr 19 Feb '21

19 Feb '21

Hello Everyone, I want to pull interface utilization metrics from mysql DB and make it a daily report. Got bunch devices I am interested in, each of them has got few interfaces I would like to get metrics for. Graphs are showing all the info I would like to get from DB like max, min and avg values for In and Out octets. Where in DB I can find historical data for device XXX, interface YYY, date ZZZ. So far I was able to run something like below, but that doesn't give me any option to select historical data. I must say that I was browsing through whole DB table by table and I couldn't find anything related to previous dates. My query: select dev.sysName, dev.device_id, prt.port_id, prt.ifSpeed, prt.ifInOctets, prt.ifInOctets_rate, prt.ifInOctets_perc, prt.ifOutOctets, prt.ifOutOctets_rate, prt.ifOutOctets_perc from observium.devices as dev inner join observium.ports as prt on dev.device_id = prt.device_id where dev.sysName = 'XXX' and prt.port_label = 'Eth2' Any help hips, guides are more than appreciated.

OSPF discovery & CISCO-VPC-MIB

I have the global setting enabled, and the OSPF module is enabled too, but only 1 router is being discovered as OSPF enabled. Am I missing something? Second - any plans integrating CISCO-VPC-MIB for vPC pairs of Cisco Nexus switches? Thank you very much for any response, Marian -- Marian Rychtecký mr(a)nix.cz Phone +420 724 397 441 NIX.CZ z.s.p.o.

best practices regarding interface switching and historical data
by Arne Van Theemsche 10 Feb '21

10 Feb '21

Hi, I was wondering how you guys tackle the problem of changing the port of (e.g. your transit uplink) to another physical port & historical data. Since rrd's are stored under "port-<snmpid>" format, this event causes you by default to loose your historical data. Or even worse, you have to change your routing engine with a more recent version, and after replacing it seems all your snmp id's are changed. this is certainly of importance for our interfaces which have a label that automatically creates aggregates graphs. How I do this until now is copying the rrd file to the new location, but this seems so... dirty kind regards Arene

Arista switches per-VLAN traffic stats?

I observe (pun not intended) that on our Arista switches, unlike the Cisco NX9ks we run, Observium isn’t able to collect per-VLAN traffic stats.

Question on Observium GUI

Hello Observium experts, Is there a way to 'acknowledge' an issue which produces a status box (old style) to make this status box to disappear from my dashboard? For example, I have a number of BGP sessions on hot-standby devices which are 'normally down' until the primary device dies. I do not need/want to see the down state of these BGP sessions. Obviously other BGP issues from these or other devices should still be reported. Best regards, Martin

Updating observium system via yum update
by Edvinas Kairys 22 Dec '20

22 Dec '20

Hello, it's been a while I was upgrading the Observium dependencies. Currently we're suing OLD Centos version: CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core) [image: image.png] What do you think, is it safe to update system via yum update? It would upgrade Centos 7.3 to 7.x and should upgrade Python, Maria DB (from 5.5.56 to 5.5.68) ant other Observium dependencies. After this base update, i would try to manually update MariaDB to 10.x and Python, if yum update will be insufficient. My concern is to not corrupt the system. Could you give some recommendations or i'm too careful and everything should be fine with yum update. ? Thank you:)

Smokeping graphs post migration
by Joey Stanford 19 Dec '20

19 Dec '20

Howdy, I need some help pointing me in the right direction for troubleshooting. I migrated Observium from Ubuntu to Debian and life is good except for smokeping. I have no graphs but… * smokeping is installed * smokeping and observium’s config.php are using the same configuration as the old server * going to [host]cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi shows me all the graphs and they are up to date * going to the tech support page shows me that observium finds the graphs e.g. - Found file ending in ".rrd": router_thorodin_rmham.rrd - Determined to be a local file, for target router_thorodin_rmham - After replacing configured split_char _ by . target is router.thorodin.rmham so at this point I know smokeping is working, the graphs have the right perms to displayed (currently smokeping:observium), and observium can see the rrd file. Unfortunately going to the page I get the dreaded “Error drawing graph”. At the bottom of the smokeping section in tech support I see two items. One is an error for no outgoing latency graph. Any ideas on what else I could look at? RRD for incoming latency found. RRD for outgoing latency not found.

Juniper polling performance tip
by Markus Klock 18 Dec '20

18 Dec '20

Hey guys! Just wanted to share a little tip on how to increase Observium polling performance on juniper boxes. This might be old news for some but I just found it. You can create a filter on junos-device that filters out certain interfaces from SNMP view. https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/task/configuration… I can recommend using: set snmp filter-interfaces all-internal-interfaces set snmp filter-interfaces interfaces "^sxe-.*" This will filter out all useless internal interfaces from polling and discovery by Observium. Especially when you have large juniper switch stacks the total number of internal interfaces are a lot which slows down polling. Filtering them out actually makes a big difference. If you got a lot of juniper gear, try it out and please share the speedup in pollingtime! /Markus

Random few questions
by Simon Smith 15 Dec '20

15 Dec '20

Hi All, I've got a few random questions that probably have simply answers too Ive checked our poller performance logs and its showing ’total time for all devices as 463.46s’ Is this a worry? Should it be under the 300s as the poller is set to run every 5 min? The highest device we have according to the poller performance is a mikrotik hex s router and that takes 30 seconds to poll, again is this normal? Also the poller performance for that device is showing its taking about 15seconds just to poll the ports module but again it only has 5 ports? Kindest Regards Simon - Hestor Ltd

backing up Observium server
by Edvinas Kairys 15 Dec '20

15 Dec '20

Hello, I know that if i want to have a fully backup i need 3 things. 1) Mysql dump 2) copy of config.php 3)and copy of .rrd folder. My question is: Do it's enough to have first two things: MYSQL dump and copy of config.php ? Because old traffic data (.rrd) is not so critical as loosing all the rules/alerts of Observium (and weathermap which is on other directory)

Twilio integration
by Philippe Laurent 11 Dec '20

11 Dec '20

Observium Developers - We use Twilio for MFG alerting when text/call escalation is required beyond email and PA voice alerts. I see that Observium does not have native Twilio integration. Beyond leveraging the Observium API for Twilio integration, would you be willing to natively extend Observium to include Twilio so that we can extend our use of that tool within the native toolset? I would be happy to donate my Enterprise hours towards the development and future inclusion in Observium for all to use. Philippe

TLS 1.3 and Opsgenie
by Adam Armstrong 28 Nov '20

28 Nov '20

Hi Guys, A number of services are moving their APIs to require TLS 1.3 because of a vulnerability in TLS 1.2, which means you need to be running pretty recent versions of PHP and OpenSSL to access them. PHP needs to be 7.4. Opsgenie is already requiring TLS 1.3, so if you're using them for your alerting, please make sure you're running a recent enough version of PHP for the API calls to function. You can test this on your system with the test_alert.php CLI script in the Observium root directory. In general, Observium is a fairly demanding PHP application so it's good practice to try to keep PHP as up to date as possible. We've seen some very nice performance improvements over the past few years, and 8.0 is going to bring even more. For this reason we don't recommend running Observium on distributions like RHEL/CentOS which hold old versions for as long as possible. Thanks, Adam.

CE No RRD Updates Since Upgrade to 20.9
by Scott Driemeier-Showers 24 Nov '20

24 Nov '20

I run two instances of Observium. Professional is installed at the office and CE is installed in my home lab. I followed the steps to upgrade CE (I know, everyone says that) in my lab from 19.8 to 20.9 on November 8 and none of the graphs have updated since. I have rebooted, checked permissions, verified all expected services are running, etc. Reviewing the event log in the Web UI and the logs on the server all show activity. The timestamps of the individual RRD files are updating every time poller runs - just nothing happening in the UI. Can someone help me think of anything else to check? CentOS 7.9 MariaDB 10.3.27-1 PHP 7.2.34 (OPcache Enabled) Thanks, Scott

OSPF Neighbour ID isn't always the IP address
by Pieter De Wit 23 Nov '20

23 Nov '20

Hey Guys, I noted this morning when I added a device that Observium tries to auto discover the OSPF Neighbours - this is awesome, but won’t work in our env. (Firewalls and IDs) ##### Module Start: neighbours ##### o LLDP-MIB o CISCO-CDP-MIB o OSPF-MIB o Trying to discover host 10.x.x.255 (10.x.x.255) through OSPF (ospf) o Trying to discover host 10.y.y.255 (10.y.y.255) through OSPF (ospf) o Trying to discover host 10.y.y.0 (10.y.y.0) through OSPF (ospf) We force our ID’s to be higher or lower depending on what we need. I tried to see if the real IP address is in the SNMP dump, but my SNMP magic is failing :( Cheers, Pieter

Re: [Observium] Graph Data Missing after Upgrade RAM
by Aulia Rahman 18 Nov '20

18 Nov '20

Dear Adam, Sorry to resend because I didn't get the answer, thanks before. > It’s likely that you need more CPU, rather than more RAM. Ending up in these out of memory scenarios are usually because the CPU was too slow and too many processes piled up. The processor full if there's a poll is running after that it will normal again. I've follow the tutorial to using persistent ramdisk https://docs.observium.org/persistent_ramdisk/ If ramdisk, RAM and swap are full, does the RRD still written ? Because in that condition, the graph not written and there's an error when access the gui: *"DB Error 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)*" after restart the DB service it will normal again. please advice. >If you can’t see historic data, it means the RRD containing the historical data has been somehow overwritten. Observium won’t do this by itself, so somehow you managed to delete or move the original RRDs. >You can restore the RRDs from backup, and it should write to these. I can manual restore from backup of the backup ramdisk, thanks. Because when I try to manual extract the ramdisk data from LZOP first backup file it end with error. > Though, if the RRDs have somehow disappeared, I’d check to make sure you don’t have some form of filesystem/storage corruption, because the two might be linked. After investigate, when the shutdown process, the ramdisk didn't write the latest data before the server turn off. Because I didn't see any log about Ramdisk write data to hardisk. How to achieve it ? because in the document didn't explain detail about it. When startup process it succesfull load the data from ramdsk via rc.local script but the data loaded is corrupt, I can confrm this because when I try to manual extract from LZOP compression end with error, only some graph can be restored. Please advice. > BTW, please don’t send images to the mailing list. Sorry I've resend the mail but forgot to cancel the first one. Demikian yang dapat kami sampaikan, terimakasih.

Polling partitioning / distributed polling
by Brad Bendy 12 Nov '20

12 Nov '20

Hi, I've set this up per what I can find in the docs. Master server has RRDcached running, MySQL and web server. I have another server acting as poller server. I go to that server and add hosts, the host add find. All the graphs are failing and on the local server i t shows nothing in the RRD dir (which is right I would think), on the remote hosts it shows RRD files but when I do a debug I see "file already exists" and it does on the remote server. Looking at the rrd.journal file I see updates being issued and see no errors. On the polling server I have added: $config['rrdcached'] = "x.x.x.x:42217"; $config['rrd']['no_local'] = TRUE; And updated cron to: */5 * * * * observium /opt/observium/observium-wrapper -i 1 -n 0 discovery --host new >> /dev/null 2>&1 # Run multithreaded poller wrapper every 5 minutes */5 * * * * observium /opt/observium/observium-wrapper -i 1 -n 0 poller >> /dev/null 2>&1 As I have one poller server and this is the first one. I see no other errors in other logs but all graphs show "error drawing graph". Is there something else in my config I am missing to make this work? Thanks

Graph Data Missing after Upgrade RAM

11 Nov '20

Dear All, I'm using Observium 20.1.10233 (stable) Enterprise version. Observium sometime error on database when access from web Image1.jpeg At that time the graph stop add new data. there's a notification in console like picture below, so I need to restart the database service. image2.png Access server and try to see HTOP image3.png Then check the log image4.png After restart database service, the graph starts to add new data again. Then, I upgraded the server RAM from 12 GB to 24 GB on 9 November 2020 at night. This server uses ramdisk configuration on SSD. After the server booted up the graph didn't add new data until today 11 November 2020 at 00:00 the graph started to add new data again. But, all previous data graphs on all devices before 11 November 2020 are missing. Here's the screenshot for the missing data for example on one device after upgrade. image5.png Here's the HTOP from the observium server after upgrade image6.png I've restore to date 8 and 7 November but the all graph show "Draw Graph Error" image7.jpeg & image8.jpeg When check the rrd folder from the server restore, It just only show a few device folder. I assume that folder still hold on ramdisk, but if I see log for ramdisk it sync every 2-5 minutes to hardisk. Please tell me step-by-step how to troubleshoot & recover it.

Rancid git with remote pollers
by Brad Bendy 09 Nov '20

09 Nov '20

Hi, I know this is slightly off topic but was wondering if anyone has ran into this. We have rancid on our remote pollers working and grabbing configs. Now on a single Observium instance you just enable it in the config and the integration works spot on as the SVN/GIT is local. Has anyone got this to work where they store the configs locally on the remote poller and then push a copy to the master observium box so they show up in the GUI? Or are you using a central GIT server on the master and just the proper settings in the rancid.conf file? Thanks

Hi all, Our event log is clogging up with multiple current and voltage threshold entries, for example see below; Current gi24 PoE Current above threshold: 0.158 A (> 0.1155 A) Current gi3 PoE Current above threshold: 0.115 A (> 0.102 A) Voltage gi24 PoE Voltage above threshold: 119 V (> 63.25 V) Voltage gi9 PoE Voltage above threshold: 113 V (> 60.95 V) Apologies if this is a dumb question, as I'm knew to the software, but does anyone know a good way of removing these entries besides adjusting the threshold of every network device. Monitoring voltages and currents isn't a high priority for us, so happy to turn these off globally. Many thanks for your help.

Additional portpercent element/widget on frontpage?
by Gumilar Siegfried MSc. 29 Oct '20

29 Oct '20

Hello! I would love to be able to add a second Traffic Comparison (portpercent) with different port groups to our dashboard. Is that somehow possible? Right now I can add a second "Traffic Composition" Widget in the dashboard edit mode, but it still uses the same port groups as the other one. This is how our current configuration looks like: $config['frontpage']['order'] = array('status_summary', 'map', 'overall_traffic', 'portpercent', 'device_status', 'altert_table', 'syslog', 'eventlog'); $config['frontpage']['portpercent']['Peering'] = array('group' => 5); $config['frontpage']['portpercent']['Transit'] = array('group' => 6); $config['frontpage']['portpercent']['options'] = array('graph_format' => 'single'); In my opinion, it would be best if you could simply use portpercent2, for example, to configure the next widget. Regards, Siegfried

graphing total PoE
by Eric W. Bates 27 Oct '20

27 Oct '20

We use a lot of cisco 2960 PoE switches in stacks and we want to know the total demand of the stack. Currently Observium gives us a separate "PoE Group n" for each switch in the stack so those are handy subtotals. But is there a way to create a custom graph with the sum of all the PoE Groups? -- Clark 159a, MS 46 508/289-3112

Device Graphs are not drawing
by Dulanjaya Oshaka 26 Oct '20

26 Oct '20

Hello I am an absolute beginner to Observium and Linux. I installed Observium in my environment as Syslog and SNMP server. I added some Cisco Catalyst 9500 series, 9200 and Nexus N3k Series switches. After I added those devices, In some devices are not drawing Graphs (like System, Traffic statistics etc). What is the issue for this and How I fix this? I have another question. I need to add more Hard disk space to my ubuntu VM that I installed in Observium. But there is some issue to expand my root disk. I installed Observium also in my Root partition. Because of this I have planned to create an another partition using LVM and move Observium to that partition. Is this possible? If so, How I do that and How can I see the mount point in Observium? Thanks and Regards Dulanjaya Oshaka

Cisco Wifi APs registered twice
by Lars Joergensen 23 Oct '20

23 Oct '20

Hi We had a power mishap which resulted in the Cisco wifi controller rebooting. After that all the AP's got registered twice in observium. Deleting the controller and re-adding it didn't clear up the issue. I manually deleted all entries from the wifi_aps table and got the thing working correct. It's not a big issue, but it should be an easy change to only add unique APs, based on name or MAC, to the database.

Hi Adam and Observium team: We recently started having an issue with our Observium (20.9.10749) that the graphs for different devices would restart and all its previous history would be gone: [Graphical user interface Description automatically generated] And we usually see the following ‘messages’ under /var/log around that time: Oct 18 05:07:13 sjc-observium-1 rrdcached[1495]: queue_thread_main: rrd_update_r (/opt/observium/rrd/atl-wan04/status.rrd) failed with status -1.

But they don’t help much. Do you have any suggestions how we can further investigate and troubleshoot this? Thanks. - Gordon

Error drawing graph (can not parse an empty rpn expression)
by McGregor, Kevin 22 Oct '20

22 Oct '20

I just upgraded from 19.8 to 20.9 CE. In both I've been having the same problem: Everything works as expected, except two devices (of 19) produce a big pink box instead of a chart for the "Ports" widget on the Overview page for the devices. The chart is titled "Error Drawing Graph". Other similar devices (same OS version, etc.) all show a normal-looking chart in the same place. The devices are "SunOS <hostname> 5.11 11.4.25.75.3 sun4v". Most other devices of the same version work, just not two of them. When I click on the chart, I get the Ports page and a bigger version of the same chart. Selecting "RRD Command" produces this below the pink box: Description Device total traffic in bits/sec.

Greetings, I am new to this and Observium. We have a paid version and I have some questions about support and upgrading. Question 1, how do I get support? Support question, when I try to add a device, I get an error saying it can't ping the device. I have logged into the terminal of observium and can ping the device Support question, I recently received an email about a new version, I tried to run the update, but it fails saying it can't find the root folder or something like that. I can provide more details, but this is the basic questions I have and if you can point me in the proper direction how to get these answered I would appreciate that.

How to create Alert Checker for a specific port?
by Brian Bianchi 15 Oct '20

15 Oct '20

Hi folks, I have an application running on port 7990. I would like to create a custom Alert Checker to check if this port is functional. I have read the documentation here: https://docs.observium.org/alert_checker/ https://docs.observium.org/alerting_examples/ The "port is operational but functionally down" option looks like the one for me. But how the heck do I select a specific port of 7990 to be monitored? Thanks!

Probes running from pollers
by Ahmed Rahal 15 Oct '20

Hi, After successfully trying out probes, I was wondering if the nagios plugins (that's what probes are) are run from the designated poller or from the default poller only.

Dear All, I've sometimes found that some server graph RAM / CPU / Traffic is missing on the dashboard. So, I can't view the graph at that time.

Syslog problem with Arista and Nexus device
by Sachin Guda 09 Oct '20

09 Oct '20

Hello Team, I am running latest Observium version, Syslog is configured on switch to send logs to observium server. They send logs to observium (verified with capture on server interface) but observium doesn’t show it in syslog tab it says- No syslog entries found! This device does not have any syslog entries. Check that the syslog daemon and Observium configuration options are set correctly, that this device is configured to send syslog to Observium and that there are no firewalls blocking the messages. See Syslog Integration <https://docs.observium.org/syslog/> guide and configuration options <https://docs.observium.org/config_options/#syslog-settings> for more information. At the same time syslog can be seen from other devices like cisco CAT switch, ASA firewall and Cisco ASR. __________________________________________________ [image: http://itiviti.com/email_signature_logo_2017_120.png] <http://www.itiviti.com/> *Sachin Guda* Managed Services, Itiviti Network Engineer Direct: +46 8 506 477 52 Mobile: +46 73 901 02 53 Sachin.Guda(a)itiviti.com <%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20mailto:Sachin.Guda@itiviti.com> Kungsgatan 36 , P.O.

Trouble with Active Directory group config on Observium CE v20.9.10731
by Brian Bianchi 08 Oct '20

08 Oct '20

Hello, I am trying to configure Active Directory authentication on my Observium CE v20.9.10731 server using this page as a guide -> https://docs.observium.org/authentication/#active-directory I am passed the point where my username and password are authenticated. It is the group config I am confused about. I have an Active Directory group "eng-admins" that I want to give administrative privileges to, of which my login (bbianchi) is a member. And I have an Active Directory group "eng-team" that I want to give generic non-admin privileges. My domain is hq.viviport.com. It is not clear to me how to configure these lines to achieve this: $config['auth_ldap_recursive'] = TRUE; $config['auth_ldap_recursive_maxdepth'] = 3; $config['auth_ldap_prefix'] = "CN="; $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",DC=hq,DC=viviport,DC=com"; $config['auth_ldap_group'] = array("CN=Observium Users,OU=Groups,DC=hq,DC=viviport,DC=com"); $config['auth_ldap_groupbase'] = "OU=Groups,DC=hq,DC=viviport,DC=com"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmembertype'] = "fulldn"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmemberattr'] = "member"; unset($config['auth_ldap_groups']); $config['auth_ldap_groups']['CN=Observium Admins,OU=Groups,DC=hq,DC=viviport,DC=com']['level'] = 10; $config['auth_ldap_groups']['CN=Observium Users,OU=Groups,DC=hq,DC=viviport,DC=com']['level'] = 1; I have enabled debug logging.

RRD max value

Hi all, I would like to ask you for help in order to resolve an issue with RRD. I do have port-channel with max speed of 400Gbit/s (correctly detected by Observium), however when traffic will reach 100G it will not be shown. I believe there is max limit on that RRD, as some other port-channels works good. Of course I don't want to loose history if possible. Other monitoring systems using same MIBs are working as expected.

Sensor blues
by Lars Joergensen 01 Oct '20

01 Oct '20

Hi I'm having trouble with sensors on SFPs in Aruba switches. Looking at the switch, I get this: Transceiver in 3/49 Interface Index : 155 Type : SFP+LR Model : J9151A Connector Type : LC Wavelength : 1310nm Transfer Distance : 10.0km (9um), Diagnostic Support : DOM Serial Number : AX07SL0130407 Status Temperature : 26.289C Voltage : 3.3408V Tx Bias : 41.728mA Tx Power : 0.6339mW, -1.980dBm Rx Power : 0.4225mW, -3.742dBm But looking in Observium, I get this: [cid:image002.png@01D697E4.402E6B90] There's no data for RX power (which is the most interesting) and the data for TX power is wrong. I think this is an OEM SFP (the serial number looks weird), but if the switch can see the data, shouldn't Observium be able to pull it too? Temperature, voltage and current graphs are correct. ... and just now, when I clicked around, the correct values are now showing for TX and RX power in the graphs. What's going on?

Observium deleting switch entries instead of alerting
by Pisano, Anthony D. 29 Sep '20

29 Sep '20

Hello, I ran into a weird situation today that I’m unsure of how to proceed with. Due to a power failure we lost power to 3 of 4 switches in a Cisco 9300 Stack. At 10:57am yesterday in the event log of this switch I can see the OperStatus of the Stack Ports go down. I have an alert configured against the status of “Switch Stack Failure” does not equal OK. However this alert did not go off at the time of the outage, it has for other switch stacks though. Then at 5am this morning the logs of the device indicate it went through and essentially removed switches 2-4 of this stack. We are currently running 20.7.10549. I know we need to update, but our linux team has not gotten around to it. Is there anyway to look into this?

Mikrotik Custom OID issue
by Joey Stanford 24 Sep '20

24 Sep '20

Hello All, I’ve run into a device specific issue with Mikrotik and am looking for some advice. I want to track a few MIB-defined variables like mtxrWlRtabStrength (signal strength, source https://mibs.observium.org/mib/MIKROTIK-MIB) and produce graphs. I added a custom OID for this but the snmpget command is failing. In theory, if I want to get data on OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.1.2.1.3 I should be able to get it, but unfortunately snmpget in the poller errors out. It appears that for Mikrotik we need to attach the rest of the, and this is the problem, device-specific address to the OID. e.g. 1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.1.2.1.3 (and .0,.1) does not work but .1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.1.2.1.3.100.209.84.175.14.243.1 does. It will only get the data from that one device, not from any others. The easy way for me test this is to run the poller command: snmpget -t '10' -v1 -c xxx -Pud -OUQnv 'udp':'radio-leehill.nv0n.qth':'161’ 1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.1.2.1.3 Anyway, I’m wondering if there is a way in observium that I haven’t discovered yet that will get me graphs on various wireless activities from the registration table. The use case is to monitor things like signal strength and signal to noise to know when a wireless link is below a threshold. High winds up here tend to bend and destroy dishes even with a stiff-arm attached. Thanks, Joey ps. Adam, the Mikrotik MIB was updated on 15 Sept if you haven’t seen it: https://box.mikrotik.com/f/a41daf63d0c14347a088/?dl=1 <https://box.mikrotik.com/f/a41daf63d0c14347a088/?dl=1>

Web interface blank screen after last Update
by Marios.P＠crowe.com.cy 23 Sep '20

23 Sep '20

Hi, We have updated our Observium platform to the latest version CE 19.8 and we are facing the following issue. After finishing the upgrade using the instructions on the website we were able to access the web interface just once. When we logged in the first time after the upgrade we received a message that the php version also must be updated. After that we were unable to logon to the web interface (after login we see a blank screen) and we receive the following error in the apache error log: [Wed Sep 16 12:33:07 2020] [error] [client PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function password_hash() in /opt/observium/html/includes/authentication/mysql.inc.php on line 101, Is it possible to backup the configuration and update php version and use Observium installation again? If yes is there any guide how to perform the update? We have observium installed on a Debian 7 machine.

CheckPoint concurrent connections
by Joelly, Alexander 22 Sep '20

22 Sep '20

In older CE releases (2016/2017) the CheckPoint firewalls also were showing up the concurrent connections but the recent versions (CE, Pro and Enterprise) do not show that anymore. Can you please bring that graph back? Thanks, Alex [cid:image001.png@01D62AB4.9D1F6A90]

IOS XR device not recognized
by Marian Rychtecky 18 Sep '20

18 Sep '20

Hi all, I would like to ask for a hint or information I'm missing in oder to successfully monitor Cisco ASR9K (ASR9901-RP) running Cisco IOS XR Software, Version 7.0.1. I'm getting "Generic device" not Cisco device and for unknown reason I'm getting this LOG messages SNMP works just fine, as other graphs or values are being collected successfully. There is no error in observium.log and polling graphs looks good too. On top of that, every full discovery cycle (every 12 hours) we are getting full set of alarms from this device. Any idea please? Thank you Marian -- Marian Rychtecký mr(a)nix.cz Phone +420 724 397 441 NIX.CZ z.s.p.o. Americká 23, Praha 2 130 52 Czech Republic http://www.nix.cz

Average packet size throughout multiple ports
by Marian Rychtecky 18 Sep '20

18 Sep '20

Hi everyone, may I ask developers, if there is any chance to add "Aggregate average packet size" option to aggregated graphs? We have a need to have this statistics available throughout infrastructure. I would like to render average value calculated from all ports in "aggregation", therefore it's not aggregation in terms of values, but in terms of multiple ports calculation. Individual stats: Aggregates Thank you Marian -- Marian Rychtecký mr(a)nix.cz Phone +420 724 397 441 NIX.CZ z.s.p.o. Americká 23, Praha 2 130 52 Czech Republic http://www.nix.cz

Inventorying Merakis
by Lars Joergensen 14 Sep '20

14 Sep '20

Hi We have a bunch of Merakis in Observium, and we got the nice graphs and stuff. Then somebody asked for serial numbers for inventory purposes, and ... they're not there. I did an SNMP walk on a single Meraki device, and that's really sparse, explaining the lack of info in Observium. Then I added the Meraki dashboard (available at snmp.meraki.com), and let Observium have a look at that. It basically told me that it resides in San Francisco. Doing an SNMP walk on that does reveal all the necessary info, though, so it is there. Any plans on parsing the Meraki dashboard into Observium and get info on devices that way? If not, we can pull the serials from elsewhere, but it would be cool to know if it's coming.

SNMP Timeouts
by Luis Londoño 10 Sep '20

10 Sep '20

Hello, A couple of weeks ago some of our switches starting not responding to SNMP and are showing down now but I can ping them from the server that I have Observium on. Recently the server storage got filled up but I expanded the disk and has plenty of space now, but I still get timeouts even if I run the SNMPwalk from the Obserivum server. I reinstalled the snmp and snmpd packages on the server (ubuntu 20.04). Some switches are using v2c and those are working while the ones that aren't working are using v3. Wasn't sure if maybe I needed to reinstall some other packages or see what else I could do to fix this. Thank you

Re: [Observium] Alert on port utilisation percent ?

Milton, I disagree, for example, how do you set up a rule to apply to all devices (past and future)? It appears you cannot, however, you could in the past and that are what all the examples show. I like observium quite a lot, however, its these things (like documentation that is not current) that can really frustrate a user.

The only thing that has really change is the association rule set. Instead of it being a text entry like the test conditions, there is now an expression builder, but the fields and operators are still the same. That should be easier that before. The test/check condition documentation is still relevant. That hasn't changed.

IPSEC Tunnel graphs - Def Error
by Dale Chambers 07 Sep '20

07 Sep '20

Hi, I we predominantly have Cisco devices which is monitored via Observium. I have noticed that there is an issue showing graphs of IPSEC Tunnels. I am not sure when this started to fail but I am on version 20.8.10644. I have checked amongst several different devices and they all show the same error. This is tested on ASA5506, ASA5525, Cisco 1921, Cisco 2911 and Cisco 4331. All graphs shows 'Def Error' [cid:image007.png@01D6829C.C6E0D220] How do I resolved this issue? I have already tried running the discovery.php -h all, and I have even upgraded to 20.9.10652 and still having the same issue.

Enabling MIB and custom values support
by Marian Rychtecky 07 Sep '20

07 Sep '20

Hi all, I do have two questions with different topics, but I didn't want to send multiple emails. Hope you don't mind. First question is probably very simple, however I cannot find out - I need to collect information from Cisco devices using " CISCO-NETWORK-VIRTUALIZATION-OVERLAY-MIB". This MIB is part of Observium. How I will "activate" collecting these MIB values from a device please? I do have almost all modules active and I don't know how to add MIB to a certain device (not all devices, just 3 of them). Second question - as more and more devices (such as Arista) are giving up on SNMP turning slowly to REST APIs or similar methods, is there any way to push information to Observium using its own (python/php) script? I would imagine any kind of value mapping to graphs and then collecting values from scripts or JSON file.... Thank you for your time and support.

Connect to device icon?
by Chris Macneill 05 Sep '20

05 Sep '20

Hi, I was sure at one point there was a "Connect to device/terminal" icon in Observium, but either I'm mistaken and it was never there or now so buried I can no longer find it. Whilst hostnames and/or IP addresses are shown in Observium, they generally have active links attached to them to take you to other screens in Observium, this makes it hard to copy these into a Browser to gain access to the device's GUI. It would be nice to have a "Connect to device" icon next to the IP/Hostname that will make it much easier to click through to the device's own GUI. We recently started using Ubiquiti's UNMS monitoring system which is good for Ubiquiti devices, but pretty lousy for anything else. UNMS has a "Copy to clipboard" icon next to each IP address making it really easy to then connect to the device's GUI. I like the "Copy to clipboard" method rather than a URL link, as this is generic and you can then copy and paste into a browser or any other application. Regards Chris Macneill

02 Sep '20

Hello, I've been using Observium for a few months in my company and I'm thinking about upgrading to the professional version. Does this version add more powerful mibs on hardware or add some fonctionnality on WMI polling ? Like for example : - BGP & Peering session on Mikrotiks (CCRXXX) - spooler tracking on Zebra printers - Windows's wmi poller able to list services and their states Best Regards,

Alert Check - Monitoring Cisco Stack Redundancy
by Mezzadri, Steven 31 Aug '20

31 Aug '20

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me write a better alert checker to determine if a Cisco stack has a missing member. Occasionally, one member of a stack will fail, but the stack continues to operate so it's not in a "down" state. I would like to get a notification when that happens. I am currently monitoring all stack ports, but any unused stack ports show "down" as well, so I'm looking for a better solution. [image: image.png] I would like to use another status indicator such as "stack is redundant" or "stacking state": [image: image.png] Perhaps cswRingRedundant ? [image: image.png] Could anyone assist me with how to construct an alert check to accomplish this? Thanks! -- Steven Mezzadri Network Engineer

Only reason I’m asking if I’m looking sadly to move all our VMs (50) into smaller containers (10) and running Kubernetes as most things can be done by containers I’m just yet to find anyone with an observium container?

Re: [Observium] Connect to device icon?

I'm using the Subscription version, so maybe I remember from the days before we paid and were using the CE version. In the Subscription version under the Device Cog the "Connect via" options are replaced by a "Show Tech Support" icon, but nothing in there to connect anywhere. Looks like feature has somehow dropped off Subscription version, I'm a full administrator so should be able to see anything the system has to offer. Currently running 20.8.10631 (stable).

Reducing WiFi Error Alerts
by Chris Macneill 26 Aug '20

26 Aug '20

Hi, We get a lot of WiFi error alerts from Ubiquiti devices clogging up our event log. Most devices in Observium have a number of Sensors listed which allows thresholds to be adjusted to receive only genuine issues and reduce the noise level. Ubiquiti WiFi devices have no sensors listed for each device, so apparently no way to adjust thresholds? Regards Chris Macneill
