frontpage is great and all but can I have a second page?
by James Murty 25 Jan '16

25 Jan '16

I’m looking a using Observium to generate a number of metric specific dashboards for routers and switches I have around the country. The $config['frontpage']['minigraphs']['ids’] = “<id>,<metric>,<title>”; configuration looks like it’ll give me what I want but ideally I just have those minigraphs on a page by themselves. Is there a way to define a seconds page? i.e. $config[‘minigraphpage']['minigraphs']['ids’] = “<id>,<metric>,<title>”; and have that show on a second screen? - james

BGP LocalAs fails on ASR9K
by André Mamitzsch 25 Jan '16

25 Jan '16

Hi, we discovered an issue with CISCO ASR9K and 4byte ASN's - the ASR return "0" when querying the BGP4-MIB parameter "bgpLocalAs". This stops observium from discovering the BGP sessions. I have done some research and found that Juniper devices seem to have a similar problem which was fixed in the polling / discovery script already. The same should be done for Cisco. The CISCO-BGP4-MIB included in Observium is somewhat outdated - CISCO introduced a parameter "cbgplocalAs" in a later version which delivers the correct result. Could you please look into this ? Thanks Andre

Set it up yesterday and still feeling my way around, but I am pretty impressed so far. Is there a basic setup guide to monitor VMWare, somewhere? Sure I will be asking more questions as time passes [cid:1441083069.3051.3.camel@stefaansm-nb.grindrod.net] Lastly how do I get in touch with the guys from Observium?

device to device links
by Joey Stanford 24 Jan '16

24 Jan '16

Hi, I ran across a graphing script on github that caught my eye. It reportedly graphs device to device links in Observium (sort of like cacti + Network Weathermap). It uses a table called obserium.links which I don’t have. Google hasn’t been able to give me any leads other than, of course, the developer. I’m wondering if anyone happens to know if it’s possible to associate device ports in this manner… e.g. Device 25, port 287 links to Device 37, port 460. Today I use cacti and weathermap for this. Thanks, Joey

MySQL Agent Innodb
by evo 24 Jan '16

24 Jan '16

Hi, i am a private user of the Observium CE, and I wanted to ask If the MySQL agent will already be fixed in the ne CE release, otherwise I would happily provide a patch for the agent I made just a moment ago when I updated my MariaDB Server to 10 and the innodb query stopped working[0], since it's removed with version 10 and version 5.6.1 of MySQL[1]. If you'd want me to do that, I also would rewrite the whole agent to use mysqli instead of mysql, since it's considered deprecated for some time now[2]. with kind regards Valentin [0]https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/xtradbinnodb-server-system-variables/#h… [1]https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=63383 [2]http://php.net/manual/de/migration55.deprecated.php

Arbor Network's MIBs
by Ryan, Spencer 23 Jan '16

23 Jan '16

Great to see Arbor MIB's getting updated in the SVN checkouts :) I don't monitor any of our own products, but I'm going to talk to the Peakflow guys and see if I can get access to some of the lab gear. We have at least one setup (not sure if it's TMS or SP) that gets about ~8Gb/s of anonymous traffic from a few ISPs. Should give me some useful data in Observium. Keep up the good work guys! *Spencer Ryan* | Senior Systems Administrator | sryan(a)arbor.net *Arbor Networks* +1.734.794.5033 (d) | +1.734.846.2053 (m) www.arbornetworks.com

Manually setting global temperature thresholds
by Joey Stanford 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

Hi, I have a bit of a puzzler and I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I’m monitoring a number of Mikrotik devices. I’m unable to set the temperature thresholds on the device. They all seem to report different thresholds despite the fact that they are all spec’d at -30c to 70c. Instead of going into each device’s settings in Observium and making a custom threshold, is there any way for me to do it in the config file? or some other way using “os eq routeros”? Thanks, Joey

ASR9k fan failures not detected?
by Robert Williams 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

Hi, I've just noticed that fan failures on the ASR 9k are not detected by Observium. In fact, it seems have nothing at all under the 'status' tab? The 6500s have over 20 entries in there for "Fan - Fail" or "PSU - Fail" or "I'm not facing magnetic north - Fail" etc. but the ASR9000 have no status tab whatsoever. Reason for noticing this; is that we have a chassis which currently has a 'Major-Alarm' failure indicator LED on the RSP, due to a failed fan tray. Observium shows the device has being 'OK' and is not seeing either the Major alarm or the fan tray failure: canb-server[151]: %PLATFORM-CANB_SERVER-3-ALARM_INDICATION : Raise alarm from CBC in slot 0/FT0/SP, alarm code CBC_ALRM_FT_LED_RED_FAILED LED Information --------------------------------------------- R/S/I Modules LED Status 0/RSP0/* host Critical-Alarm Off host Major-Alarm On host Minor-Alarm Off host ACO Off host Fail Off FAN0 FAN1 FAN2 FAN3 FAN4 FAN5 FAN6 FAN7 FAN8 FAN9 FAN10 FAN11 FAN12 FAN13 0/FT0/* (Speed) 9900 9900 9870 9780 9870 9780 9780 10080 10080 9870 9990 9900 9810 9990 (fans are now OK again) Is this a case of Cisco not exporting any of this useful (and rather critical) information properly? Would be good to graph fan speeds if they are exported. Or are other people getting these OK and it's just us with the issue? Cheers!

Memory graph not showing as intended.
by Max Krabbenhöft 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

Hello, I just set up Observium on CentOS 7 and everything works great! Except for one thing. The Memory and Virtual memory graph on the dashboard for windows/linux servers won't draw. Switches work fine though. When doing a debug I get this error message: SQL[INSERT INTO `mempools-state` (`mempool_id`) VALUES ('5')] RUNTIME[0.00012898s] ERROR[Error in query: (1364) Field 'mempool_polled' doesn't have a default value] I've been looking all over and can't find a resolution for this. This is how it should look [http://i.imgur.com/NMkyhMB.png] This is how it looks: [http://i.imgur.com/VEFSP1K.png] Thank you for your help Best regards Max
