New Install working except Graph/RRD
by Peter Casserly 20 Aug '13

20 Aug '13

New to observium and I have it up and running on a new Ubuntu 13.04 install. Everything seems to be working and polling the one device that I have added. However.... It seems that none of the graphs are being generated. "Error Drawing Graph" or "Draw Error" where the graphs should be. I reviewed the e-mail archives for similar issues but nothing seems to fit. When I run the poller manually I see a few errors related to the RRD directory and it looks like a permissions issue. ./poller.php -h all Observium v0.13.8.4312 Poller Starting polling run: fw.redacted.local 1 asa (cisco) Created directory : /opt/observium/rrd/fw. redacted.local ERROR: creating '/opt/observium/rrd/fw. redacted.local/status.rrd': No such file or directory ERROR: creating '/opt/observium/rrd/fw.redacted.local /ping.rrd': No such file or directory ERROR: creating '/opt/observium/rrd/fw.redacted.local/ping_snmp.rrd': No such file or directory Module [ unix-agent ] disabled globally.

Host up/down polling
by James Bensley 20 Aug '13

20 Aug '13

Hi All, Sometimes I get host down notifications from Observium at the start of a 5 minute poll. Five minutes later I get a host up alert for the same host. I believe that sometimes a busy host will drop the 5 minute "probe" from Observium which is presumably a UDP SNMP packet. As soon as I get such a notification I check the host in question, it is usually up unless it really has gone down, just a bit busy perhaps. [1] Where is this initial checking of device up/down state happening in the code? I have been looking through include/polling and I can see various scripts for different device types. Is there a generic host up/down check that happens for all devices, I'd like to hack in a "if a device recorded as up seems down, wait and check again a couple more times, then mark as down". Cheers, James. [1] So that is a separate issue I need to tackle, ensuring there is no packet loss to hosts and ensuring they aren't too busy to respond. I don't wish to discuss that here though.

Re: [Observium] Broken lines in disk usage chart
by Jordan TUCKER 20 Aug '13

20 Aug '13

Hi, Just to say that the problem with broken lines in disk usage chart is not new, I saw this problem monthes ago and I didn't succeeded to find how this is happening, but I didn't try the debug mode. I will come back to you shortly if I find something. It happens only on Windows servers and for a few of my windows servers, especially 2003 servers, they don't do any storage graph at all.

Authentication system updates.
by Adam Armstrong 19 Aug '13

19 Aug '13

Evening Guys. We've committed some changes to the way the 'remember me' function of the authentication system works, removing a few pretty serious security issues with the old login system. We encourage everyone to upgrade to latest as soon as possible. You may need to restart your browser and/or clear cookies if you can't log in after the upgrade is done. adam.
