Observium Backups
by Terry Stone 04 May '21

When backing up rrd with tar zcvf observium-rrd.tar.gz rrd I get the following message: tar: Removing leading `/' from member names Is this OK or should I use the --absolute-names option? Also I am getting some messages saying file changed as we read it. This is understandable but do i need to do anything while running the backup to stop this from happening? Thanks in advance.

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? System Details: Observium Version: Observium CE 20.9 OS: CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core) Thanks, Evan

Paging on bigger pages
by Pieter De Wit 02 May '21

02 May '21

Hi All, I noted that you can enable paging on the devices pages, but is there a way to enable it on other pages that I have missed ? We have massive load balancer pages that are now causing browsers to crash (had to give the server 32gig of ram to render said pages :) ) Or even a search page would do - anything to make the page smaller :D Thanks !

Wish list

Rather than re-invent the wheel writing a script does anyone have a script that can be run as a con job to backup rrd files, observium database and config.php to an external server. Thanks.

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
