duplicate entries in vminfo table . [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
by Peter.Hine＠familycourt.gov.au 03 Feb '16

03 Feb '16

vCE 0.16.1.7533 going to the VMs tab of a vmWare server shows duplicate entries. hunting this down in the code shows the following in html/pages/device/vm.inc.php foreach (dbFetchRows("SELECT * FROM vminfo WHERE device_id = ? ORDER BY vm_name", array($device['device_id'])) as $vm) { print_vm_row($vm, $device); } so running it on the command line echo 'SELECT * FROM vminfo WHERE device_id = '586' ORDER BY vm_name' | mysql --user=observium --password=not_my_pass observium reveals the entries to be duplicated in the table. they all seem to have the last field as a difference. there must be something missing in the code for adding the entries to not find the first entries and update them. " 2586 586 vmware cbr-desktop E: tools not running 3072 2 powered off 4239aa20-542a-f088-dedf-afb508da6a9c NULL 2757 586 vmware cbr-desktop E: tools not running 3072 2 powered off 4239aa20-542a-f088-dedf-afb508da6a9c vmware-snmp " either NULL or vmware-snmp.

cdp neighbor and mac address questions
by Randy Mahurin 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

Hello, I've just completed a new install of Observium, version 0.16.1.7535 (27th January 2016), and have a couple of questions in hopes that someone can point me to the correct debugging process. 1) The mac address information on the port is of the port itself, rather than the connected device. We are strictly Cisco in our switching, most are 2960 variety with some 3750 and 3850 mixed in. I see in the demo software, the mac address on the port pages shows that of the client. Also, several months ago, we ran a small version of Observium (since decommissioned) and the client mac populated. 2) Auto discovery based on CDP seems really sporadic, several neighbors will be added, but some will not. SNMP settings are the same across the board and CDP discovered neighbors can be added manually without issue. Is there any chance someone has come across these before? Thank you -- Randy Mahurin Office of Information Technology Boise State University 1910 University Drive, Boise, ID, 83725-1249 Phone: (208) 426-4003

Some questions regarding Observium
by Jens.Altrock＠STADT-NW.DE 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

Hey guys, Have some questions I haven't found answers yet :-/ 1. Read about someone requesting checking and alerting of (os) services, is this already implemented or will it be? 2. Any chance to get to know about new community versions? Couldn't find something on website :-/ 3. Some of our switches have kind of leaks in their graphiocs (see pic on mail, from an ATI 8000GS/24POE). Not sure where this comes from, any ideas? Maybe any debug ideas? Haven't found any special events in Eventlog (except some SNMP down/up errors) Thanks fort he help, and sorry if questions are a bit dumb.

Observium impact on Juniper CPUs
by Raphael Maunier 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

Folks, Just sharing experience using Observium and Juniper EX / MX equipments. I exchanged with Adam and Juniper tac about some issues on some EX4550 having CPU at 100% with no result in solving the issue with a log of tweak in Observium / Junos . I changed the server 3 days ago, faster stronger better :) And voila , CPU dropped on all devices, with the same config.php ! The previous one was not a small server ( aka VM ) but the vm was not as strong as this one. I only had the issue with Juniper equipment not with cisco / Arista . So if you are facing the same issue ( and I exchanged with a few of you ) , you know what to do :) Raphael PS : I still have some EX4550 deleting interfaces from time to time, but I will open another thread !

VMs Tab missing
by Matt Zillmann 01 Feb '16

01 Feb '16

Hello everyone, I am having a bizarre issue with one of my hosts. I have a cluster of hosts for a VMware ESXI 6 environment and have discovered and polled them successfully. However, there is one host that is not displaying the VMs tab. Has anyone had a similar issue before? I have the latest version of the subscription edition of Observium running on CentOS7. Thanks, Matt.

Alerts for QNAP storage
by Matt Zillmann 01 Feb '16

01 Feb '16

Hello all, I am working on setting up alerting for a QNAP storage device. I have the latest version of the subscription version of Observium. What I would like is to be able to have Observium send me an email when a hard drive fails. The drives show up under the status portion of the device page. Any idea of how to set this up (if possible)? Thanks, Matt.
