multi site support?
by Bernd Kammlott | kaneo GmbH - green IT solutions 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

hey, currently we are using cacti to collect snmp data but your solutions looks much better :) Currently we are collecting data from all our customers into one centralized system on one of our servers. Would it be possible to have some kind of "multi site" installation with observium to give our customers access to their data? We dont want to setup Observium for each of our customers, but want them to be able to have a look at the current state their systems. I could not find any documentation about this feature, is is possible? Maybe with groups or locations? -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Bernd Kammlott Systemintegration kaneo GmbH - green IT solutions | Lüner Weg 32a | D-21337 Lüneburg Tel.: +49 4131 22 700 73 | Mobil: +49 170 833 32 67 | E-Mail: bernd.kammlott(a)kaneo-gmbh.de Internet: www.kaneo-gmbh.de | www.facebook.com/kaneo.green.solutions Geschäftsführung: Andreas Kammlott, Nele Lübberstedt | Amtsgericht Lüneburg: HRB 205201 B | USt-ID: DE815486812 | Bitte prüfen Sie der Umwelt zuliebe, ob der Ausdruck dieser E-Mail erforderlich ist.|

Ethernet Service Instance Interface Names Truncated
by Mailing Lists 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

Am I imagining things, or did Observium previously correctly display Ethernet service instance interfaces in the GUI? I've noticed recently that all the interfaces names for service instance interfaces seem to be truncated in a few of the views Picture speaks a thousand words, where these show GigabitEthernet0/16. now, I am sure they previously would have been listed as GigabitEthernet0/16.ServiceInstance.1234 etc; [image: Inline images 1] [image: Inline images 4] Discovery debug example from the device shows the interfaces captured as the full name: ( [ifDescr] => GigabitEthernet0/1.ServiceInstance.206 [ifAlias] => Description [ifName] => Gi0/1.SI.206 [ifType] => l2vlan [ifOperStatus] => up ) If you search in the ports for for the full interface name it knows it as the right thing; [image: Inline images 2] Looks like the GUI just truncates the names? Obviously this makes it harder than it should be to identify the correct interface in the list. Any chance we can have this show the whole thing? :) Thanks, Tim C

SNMP access via poller issues
by Cameron Murray 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

Guys, Overnight we received a lot of alerts for device going offline however these were false positives. We've found that the poller is having issues connecting to some devices. Brocade ICX Switch Cisco 2900 series RouterOS SNMP is working via snmpwalk on the machine running obs and also from other test locations however the poller times out on them. We've reset the configuration for the devices in obs however access still fails. Access appears to come and go. We've confirmed obs is up to date and have rebooted the services.

Housekeeping - invalid RRD files
by Sean Pedersen 14 Mar '16

14 Mar '16

The instructions for the housekeeping script mention the cleanup of invalid RRD files and that doing so "requires $config['file'] to be set correctly to the path of the file magic utility." I can't find any reference to $config['file'], magic file utilities, etc. in the default config.php, my current config.php, or anywhere online, mailing list archives, etc. What is this in reference to? It doesn't seem to be set anywhere. Did I miss something? Consequently, whenever I run `housekeeping.php -r` with that option defaulted to TRUE, the process hangs and doesn't seem to do anything. Setting it to FALSE immediately deletes stale RRD files (by time via $config['housekeeping']['rrd']['age'] = timeInSeconds;) and completes the process. I checked housekeeping.log and there are no entries for 'invalid' (what I assume an invalid RRD file would log based on the rrd.inc.php module) and my log file goes back to 2014, so I know I’m not missing something that has rotated out. I'm running 0.16.3.7663 for reference.

Database schema out of whack
by Sean Pedersen 14 Mar '16

I’m not sure how this happened. I ran into some seemingly unrelated issues and one of the many issues I’ve been troubleshooting since is the apparent destruction of my database schema.

I would imagine doing it manually is the only way. Is it worth it?
