devices without snmp
by Hans Wolters 18 Aug '17

18 Aug '17

Dear all, Currently we are looking into the different option to get data from NSX Edge devices. Since snmp is not available on them we used the api to get the statistic information. Currently we store those values in a database. We would like to know what would be the best way to import this data into observium. Our goal is to have a generic solution that we can use for all kinds of data gathered from devices without snmp. We are also willing to contribute this to the observium community. >From what I have seen we have several options: 1. using an agent to provide the data on the agent port. 2. write an application. Both options would not make it very flexible. Could you please advise? Best regards, Hans Wolters

Customer Records Missing on rebuild
by Mal Evans 16 Aug '17

16 Aug '17

Hi - I did a full rebuild of Observium and restored the database. I previously had the ability to view 'Customers'. I can still see the Customers item in the Ports drop down but there are no entries. I can see that there are no records in the Customers table in the db. Since the customers were generated by polling the devices I thought this might just be a short term problem however after nearly 24 hours there are still no customer entries. I am wondering if I have missed something in the config or if perhaps this is because I have only installed the community edition initially whereas we had previously used the subscription edition including the traffic accounting functionality? Not sure where to start investigating the issue so would appreciate any suggestions. Cheers Mal

Server port description
by Pieter De Wit 16 Aug '17

16 Aug '17

Hi Guys, What effect does the “Server:” port description have “inside” observium - I can’t see anything. Can we get a server tab under the ports menu perhaps ? (I am using the stable SVN so this might already be implemented) (Core etc has the effect of putting it under a certain tab etc) Thanks, Pieter

Found bug? in p2p_radios poller / discovery
by Lyndon Labuschagne 16 Aug '17

16 Aug '17

Hello I am running Observium 17.7.8697 (stable), I also tried rolling but seem to have the same issue I noticed some radios on our network did not have the P2P radio tab while others did, in some cases these where identical radios with identical firmware. When I poll the devices with -dd I get the following The poller seems to push an error "ERROR[Error in query: (Column 'radio_name' cannot be null) 1048]” Now if I take and change the 8th position from NULL and add the “radio name” I can then see the P2P Radio tab in Observium and the correct information is visible, when the poller runs again the “radio_name” is removed "INSERT INTO `p2p_radios` (`device_id`,`radio_mib`,`radio_index`,`radio_tx_freq`,`radio_rx_freq`,`radio_tx_power`,`radio_rx_level`,`radio_name`,`radio_bandwidth`,`radio_modulation`,`radio_total_capacity`,`radio_standard`,`radio_loopback`,`radio_tx_mute`,`radio_eth_capacity`,`radio_e1t1_channels`,`radio_cur_capacity`) VALUES ('1150','ubnt-airmax-mib','1.128.42.168.46.239.89','5195000','5195000','27','-65',NULL,NULL,NULL,'146250000',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,'146250000’)]” More details output below if needed ##### Module Start: p2p-radios ##### SQL[SELECT * FROM `p2p_radios` WHERE `device_id` = '1150'] ROWS[1] SQL RUNTIME[0.00084591s] o UBNT-AirFIBER-MIB UBNT-AirFIBER-MIB CMD[/usr/bin/snmpwalk -t '1' -r '3' -v1 -c 'MTsnmpRO99' -Pu -OQUs -m UBNT-AirFIBER-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp:/opt/observium/mibs/ubiquiti 'udp':'sectornorth.highsite.kzn.domain.co.za':'161' airFiberConfigIndex] CMD EXITCODE[0] CMD RUNTIME[0.1514s] STDOUT[ ] All quotes stripped from snmp output, also for indexes and values!

IPSLA targets in IPv6
by Robert Williams 10 Aug '17

10 Aug '17

Hi all, We have a requirement for some IPv6 IPSLA instances on an ASR9k. Can't say this has ever come up before, but anyway, it appears that the IPv6 target IPs don't show up (thousand words below): Is this a known issue (ie. Cisco failing to send it) or did we find a bug? Interestingly, the actual 'result' latency data is all there (and correct) but somewhat difficult to comprehend without the target IP :) Cheers!

VRF defined by route-target not route-distinguisher
by Simon Bell 09 Aug '17

09 Aug '17

Hi All, Just wondering if there is a way to use route-target to define our VRF's on observium instead of RD. We use route reflector's and therefore have a need for different RD's on each PE for the same VRF. However this means that we get 10 or so VRF's listings for the same VRF. Ideally we would just flip it to be RT if possible. (we use, Juniper MX, Cisco Nexus, Cisco IOS) Any feedback massively appreciated. Only had OBS running for just over a week and hugely impressed.

Observium CE email notifications not working?
by Vikas Kumar 09 Aug '17

09 Aug '17

Hello everyone, I am a newbie to observium. I am using Observium CE 0.16.10.8128 (6th October 2016) . I have configured config.php as follows: $config['poller-wrapper']['alerter'] = TRUE; $config['email']['enable'] = TRUE; $config['email']['from'] = "noreply(a)xyz.com"; $config['email']['default'] = "uname(a)xyz.com"; $config['email']['default_only'] =TRUE; $config['email']['backend'] = "mail"; $config['email']['sendmail_path'] = "/usr/sbin/sendmail"; $config['email']['smtp_host'] = "smtp.xyz.com"; $config['email']['smtp_port'] = 587; $config['email']['smtp_timeout'] = 10; $config['email']['smtp_secure'] = "tls"; $config['email']['smtp_auth'] = TRUE; $config['email']['smtp_username'] = 'my uname'; $config['email']['smtp_password'] = 'my passwd'; I have added an alert check "device_status equals 0" for one of my server which i am monitoring using observium . The alert checker works fine as it can be seen from web based GUI but i am not receiving email notification on alert state change. Why so? Someone please guide me here is email notification not avaliable in this CE version or am i doing some where wrong? Thanks Regards, Vikas Kumar Masters Student CSE, IIT Bombay
