problem upgrading subscription edition
by niklaas＠0rb.it 10 Apr '18

10 Apr '18

Hello, I have problems upgrading my Observium installation, get following message when doing the svn update: svn: E155036: Please see the 'svn upgrade' command svn: E155036: The working copy at '/opt/observium/mibs/zte' is too old (format 10) to work with client version '1.9.5 (r1770682)' (expects format 31). You need to upgrade the working copy first. Any idea how to fix that the correct way? Because just doing the svn upgrade on the affected folders does not seem to do it the right way imho. Kind Regards, N.

A graph that doesn't quite match the data
by Richard Kuhns 06 Apr '18

06 Apr '18

Hello, Here's a screenshot of 2 Traffic graphs for a 10G port on a Cisco 6509. The second (week) graph seems accurate, with the spike indicating a little over 300M bits/s. The first (day) graph indicates that the same spike is only 200M bits/s. The actual numbers under the graphs agree that the max is 337.03M. Traffic Why doesn't the first graph show the actual value? This is on v 18.3.9125. Thanks, -- Richard Kuhns <rjk(a)wintek.com> Wintek Corporation 427 N 6th Street Lafayette, IN 47901-2211 Main: 765-742-8428 Direct: 765-269-8541

Re: [Observium] Function gone missing

I had a look at that function the other day, and nothing has changed with it for quite a while. Probably the weathermap script isn't including the correct files, though this stuff hasn't changed for quite some time. adam. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Mike Hyslop" <mike.hyslop(a)theaccesspoint.co.uk> To: "observium(a)observium.org" <observium(a)observium.org> Sent: 2018-04-04 07:08:28 Subject: [Observium] Function gone missing >Hi guys. > > > >I have noticed that our weathermap has stopped updating, when I run it >in debug mode it moans about function check_extension_exists() being >missing. > > > >I have had a quick look through the source and can’t see that function >anywhere. > > > >Not sure if its been depreciated or renamed (or if it was surplus to >requirements and simply removed) > > > >Cheers. > > >Mike Hyslop >Senior Infrastructure Engineer >mike.hyslop(a)theaccesspoint.co.uk > >DDI: 020 8102 1121 Office: 020 3189 2645 > >www.theaccesspoint.co.uk >Accesspoint | Unit 7 | Ashton Gate | Ashton Road | Harold Hill | RM3 >8UF > > Please think of the environment before you print this email > > >This document should only be read by those persons to whom it is >addressed.

Re: [Observium] Port Labeling
by Mike Stupalov 06 Apr '18

Hi, port_label is cleaned field (from unusefull information), generated based on multiple possible Oids (ie ifDescr, ifName). But anyway in db such fields ifDescr and ifName stored as is without changes and can used for alerts, etc. port_label is short as possible for display in most pages. I not see reasons for keep such data ( - Printer) for display in port names. This exactly should be stored in ifAlias (wich is port description). But.. if your device not support correct ifAlias, I can try to parse ifAlias for that os.

Rx/Tx Port Errors
by Erdem HAKI 06 Apr '18

06 Apr '18

Hello, I see several Rx/Tx port errors on my Observium. For example it says Tx: 25 on the home page, but when I click on the interface, the "Errors" graph shows me that Tx 118.69m, and I can not see anything wrong with the Tx when I check the interface errors from the router CLI. How can I verify these alarms are false positive or not? Alarms are not router specific, I got alarms from both Nokia and Juniper boxes. Best

Rancid for different devices
by Travis Garrison 05 Apr '18

05 Apr '18

Wanted to check with everyone to make sure its not builtin or I'm missing something simple before I create my own script. Any way to automatically create the config to backup Cisco, Mikrotik and other devices through rancid? We have rancid setup for Cisco currently and want to start backing up our Mikrotik and Ubiquiti routers. Thanks Travis

Port Labeling
by Christian 05 Apr '18

05 Apr '18

Hello, I was introduced to Observium in early March, and coming from a Nagios / Cacti type of monitoring, I am completely impressed with the power of Observium. I have CE 17.9.0 and am in the process of deploying it at my location. I have a couple of smart switches that support SNMP, but are not capable of a Port label. Thus, Observium shows the switch as Port 1, Port 2, Port 3 instead of my desired “Port 1 - Bandwidth Control” “Port 2 - Linux Server” “Port 3 - Printer” … that sort of thing. I found that I could use NaviCat to edit the MySQL database to properly label the ports, but then the next polling cycle restores the generic port label 5 minutes later. Is there any way for me to modify the polling to leave the label alone? I don’t want to look into “locking” the [port_label] field of the database tables. If I may also ask, is there any way to tell Observium that a down port is the normal (green) condition? I have some switches with ports that are not active, and if something is plugged into them, an alert would be handy. Thank you again for this amazing software. Christian

Function gone missing
by Mike Hyslop 04 Apr '18

04 Apr '18

Hi guys. I have noticed that our weathermap has stopped updating, when I run it in debug mode it moans about function check_extension_exists() being missing. I have had a quick look through the source and can't see that function anywhere. Not sure if its been depreciated or renamed (or if it was surplus to requirements and simply removed) Cheers.
