unix apps (10162)
by Luca Sasdelli 11 Nov '19

11 Nov '19

Hello all, on a given debian machine the apache app doesn’t work; there are several tenths of similar servers here, and they’re showing apache infos without issues. The setup has been done like the others. Other apps on the same machine are fine (mysql and postfix), but no apache. Server-status is correct, readable even via links in localhost, and mod-status is enabled. Only seen issue is that, in the /usr/lib/observium_agent/scripts-enabled folder, an empty “Config” file appears just after observium_agent run. Any hint? Thanks and greets. Luca

Huge list of groups cannot be displayed with onMouseOver
by Thibault Richard 07 Nov '19

07 Nov '19

Hello, I'm using version 19.9.10036 which is the latest stable version I've defined a huge list of groups. It apparently creates a display bug with the onMouseOver function When the list is too huge, all the groups cannot be displayed This is not a blocking point because I can just click on the "Groups" symbol to have the full list . but this is annoying Best Regards Thibault

RRD folder space problem
by Edvinas Kairys 07 Nov '19

07 Nov '19

Hello, I noticed that Observium started to use up lots of storage space. From ~200Gb it started to use ~400Gbs. Found interested thing, that one device RRD folder tooks ~200GBs instead of ~4-5Gbs. I'm always running housekeeping scripts in cron: # Run housekeeping script daily for syslog, eventlog and alert log 13 5 * * * root /opt/observium/housekeeping.php -ysel >> /dev/null 2>&1 # Run housekeeping script daily for rrds, ports, orphaned entries in the database and performance data 47 4 * * * root /opt/observium/housekeeping.php -yrptib >> /dev/null 2>&1 But seems it doesnt help, and housekeeping log doesn't show errors. Could someone advice how to clear that files in RRD folder according to housekeeping settings which are here: infra [root@observ001prvitx logs]# cat /opt/observium/includes/defaults.inc.php | grep housekeep $config['housekeeping']['syslog']['age'] = '1M'; // Maximum age of syslog entries; 0 to disable $config['housekeeping']['eventlog']['age'] = '3M'; // Maximum age of event log entries; 0 to disable $config['housekeeping']['alertlog']['age'] = '3M'; // Maximum age of alert log entries; 0 to disable $config['housekeeping']['authlog']['age'] = '6M'; // Maximum age of authlog entries; 0 to disable $config['housekeeping']['inventory']['age'] = '1M'; // Maximum age of deleted inventory entries; 0 to disable $config['housekeeping']['deleted_ports']['age'] = '1M'; // Maximum age of deleted ports before automatically purging; 0 to disable $config['housekeeping']['rrd']['age'] = '2M'; // Maximum age of unused rrd files before automatically purging; 0 to disable $config['housekeeping']['rrd']['invalid'] = TRUE; // Delete .rrd files that are not valid RRD files (eg created with a full disk) afaik M = month ?

Observium HA setup
by Mohammed Kokani 06 Nov '19

06 Nov '19

Dear Observium Experts, Am new to Observium, we have requirement to setup Observium in HA using DRDB, Pacemaker/Heartbeat & Corosync. #DRBD for block level replication, in our case this will be /opt/observium mount point. # Pacemaker/Heartbeat & Corosync main used for virtual IP switch over and auto mount of /opt/observium if primary nodes fails. VM Configurations OS : Ubuntu 18.04 64bit vCPU : 6 vRAM : 16Gb OS Disk : 40Gb DRBD disk : 350Gb ( for /opt/observium ) Is the HA setup prescribed or using single VM is enough. Basically we want to avoid single point of failure when we implement observium in production. Suggestion from experts users are welcome and thanks in advance for your valuable time. *Thanks & Regards* *Mohammed Suhail | System Engineer* *Tel : (415) 349-2100, Extn- 2139* PGP Fingerprint : 026B 6CEB CC08 152D 9372 0F51 DDFB 6758 6924 FBCC [image: cid:image016.png@01D321AA.4A00A6F0]

SG300 IPv6
by Arnaud Launay 06 Nov '19

06 Nov '19

Hello, >From time to time, we have those messages in Observium eventlog: 2019-09-28 12:36:09 sg300-office Ip-addresses: 1 updated, 7 unchanged. 2019-09-28 12:36:09 sg300-office IP address changed: 2a01:ad42:8531:c422:2e36:f8ff:fe5e:49e2/64 -> 2a01:ad42:8531:c422:2e36:f8ff:fe5e:49e2/64 I see absolutely no difference between the two IPs... The IP itself is the one used by the switch, given automatically: Ipv6 Global Address Type 2a01:ad42:8531:c422:2e36:f8ff:fe5e:49e2/64 Autoconfig Could it be the autoconfig renew that seems to Observium to be a new IP ?
