Not seeing unix system graphs
by Glenn Cooper 31 Aug '16

31 Aug '16

I’ve got a CentOS 6.7 VM (that runs my Observium instance, currently at version 8068-stable) that I’m trying to monitor with the unix agent described here: http://www.observium.org/docs/unix_agent/ Installation of the agent went fine, as did the telnet testing from the host itself. I got a bunch of data via telnet. Also, SNMP has already been configured on the server and it’s polling itself properly (as far as I can tell) From my Observium web page, I see the system and can some details for it. The Overview shows me high level system info (kernel version, hostname, Location, uptime, etc) and the Event Log. Graphs only show Agent Execution Time, Ping Response, SNMP Response, and Poller Duration. From looking at the live demo on the Observium website, I’m assuming I should be seeing a bunch of additional data (processors, memory, netstat data, load averages, etc, etc, etc). I’ve taken a look at the device configuration settings and can’t see anything that I’m missing. Any ideas for what to look at next will be much appreciated. Thanks, Glenn Cooper

Observium group alerting?
by Andrew.Jones＠kiewit.com 31 Aug '16

31 Aug '16

Can the grouping system be utilized for alerting at this time? Example: setup alert checker to monitor device status of a group of devices and send single alert if any of those devices goes down. Or is the grouping feature only used for information viewing and scheduled maintenance? We are looking at options for suppressing amount of alerts that can occur at some of our larger locations. Thanks for your help!

bind_cache failing to write via RRDCached
by Robert Williams 31 Aug '16

31 Aug '16

Hi, Having a good time today…! Got another oddity since the upgrade of the Observium server itself to 16.04 unfortunately :( In summary, all servers running BIND (they are still on 14.04) have now got zero ‘cache content’ stats since the Observium server was upgraded on Tuesday. However, all the other BIND stats are working OK: [cid:image001.jpg@01D1D944.38CA7190] Looking at the debug output, it is getting the data fine, and it’s writing out the values to RRDCacheD OK. I tried disabling RRDCacheD – it started working straight away. So, it looks like RRDCacheD (version 1.5.5 under 16.04) is unhappy with writing the ‘Cache’ elements content output for BIND. If I had to guess, I’d say it’s either: 1) something to do with the quantity of DS elements within that RRD (all 42 of them) 2) something relating to the use of an “!” in the name of the elements (that’s a proper random guess) The write attempt is: mupdate /opt/observium/rrd/x.y.net/app-bind-23-cache-default.rrd N:6:3:::392500:799:13060:27296:825744:29:17815:555:67263:160:8::9660:2238:49:382:23:14:::::::259181:22:2::45094::26347::::::6715::::::: My old RRDCacheD config was: DISABLE=0 OPTS="-w 1800 -z 1800 -f 3600 -s www-data -l unix:/var/run/rrdcached.sock -j /var/lib/rrdcached/journal/ -F -b /opt/observium/rrd -B" MAXWAIT=30 ENABLE_COREFILES=0 The new config has different parameters, so I’ve setup as follows: DAEMON=/usr/bin/rrdcached WRITE_TIMEOUT=1800 WRITE_JITTER=1800 BASE_PATH=/opt/observium/rrd/ JOURNAL_PATH=/var/lib/rrdcached/journal/ PIDFILE=/var/run/rrdcached.pid SOCKFILE=/var/run/rrdcached.sock SOCKGROUP=www-data BASE_OPTIONS="-F -B" Does anyone know of anything which could cause this? Or a magic value in RRDCacheD like “maximum number of DS elements”…? Cheers, Robert Williams Custodian Data Centre Email: Robert(a)CustodianDC.com http://www.CustodianDC.com

RANCID tab gone after update to 8068
by Robbie Wright 31 Aug '16

31 Aug '16

As the title says, upgraded via svn to 8068 and the config tab is gone. Integration to smokeping still works, as well as the user agents and everything else, but no rancid. Rancid setup is still in the config file too. Anyone else seen it disappear after any update? On a side note, svn is reporting at revision 8069 while the gui is reporting 8068.

Ldap issues with edit users
by Dano, Leo 31 Aug '16

31 Aug '16

Hi All, If anyone is using the ldap piece, I need your assistance. When you navigate to users --> edit users, it says no users in database, then any navigation to any other link, it brings you to the login screen. Most of the time, it will never load the edit users page and you can no longer navigate anything. Closing the tab out on the browser doesn't help either. Observium becomes unresponsive. Very rarely, it will actually show the users. It seems like something is clearing some cache in the background. Anyone experiencing these issues with ldap? Thanks, ----------------------- Leo Dano

Email Alerts

Hello, i know that Observium was made so that it can send alerts from an internal email server but is there any way to get it to work with GMAIL? and if not what do i have to do to write my own script so that it sends me alerts to my GMAIL account. -- *Michael Khalil* | System Administrator *CONTROLTEC* 999 Republic Drive, Suite 100, Allen Park, MI 48101 *P* 313.438.5107 *F* 313.982.1305 *www.control-tec.com <http://www.control-tec.com/>* *This e-mail, and any attachments, is intended solely for use by the addressee(s) named above.* *It may contain confidential or proprietary information of Control-Tec LLC, its subsidiaries, affiliates or business partners.* *If you are not the intended recipient of this e-mail or are an unauthorized recipient of the information, you are hereby notified that any dissemination, distribution or copying of this e-mail or any attachments, is strictly prohibited.* *If you have received this e-mail in error, please immediately notify the sender by reply e-mail and permanently delete the original and any copies or printouts.* *Computer viruses can be transmitted via email.* *The recipient should check this e-mail and any attachments for the presence of viruses.* *Control-Tec LLC accepts no liability for any damage caused by any virus transmitted by this e-mail.*

Time on X-axis of graphs is 1 hour off.
by Henrik Cednert (Filmlance) 30 Aug '16

30 Aug '16

Hello What setting have I missed when my time on the X-axis on the graphs is one hour off (-1). Time of alerts are okay. So only the graph that shows -1 hour. ‘date’ on the server shows proper date and time.
