cisco ip local pool usage monitoring
by Matteo Sgalaberni 07 Dec '20

07 Dec '20

Hello, I want to monitor the ip local pool usage of a cisco device in Observium. I found the respective mibs already present on Observium source code tree: ./mibs/cisco/CISCO-IP-LOCAL-POOL-MIB ./mibs/cisco/CISCO-IP-ADDRESS-POOL-MIB Is there a way to add these graphs in order to monitor ip local pool usage of the device monitored? Thanks Matteo

Bug in alert email for BGP AFI/SAFI?
by Johann Mallet 30 Nov '20

30 Nov '20

Hello, I have tried the BGP AFI/SAFI alert and seems to have a bug in email/alert/entity when alert/recovery was sent. The alert name in subject and alert/entity in tab seems to be missing. Also, the device line seems in double (in all of my alerts). https://i.imgur.com/91xVpLI.png https://i.imgur.com/CZJANWz.png Johann

TLS 1.3 and Opsgenie
by Adam Armstrong 28 Nov '20

28 Nov '20

Hi Guys, A number of services are moving their APIs to require TLS 1.3 because of a vulnerability in TLS 1.2, which means you need to be running pretty recent versions of PHP and OpenSSL to access them. PHP needs to be 7.4. Opsgenie is already requiring TLS 1.3, so if you're using them for your alerting, please make sure you're running a recent enough version of PHP for the API calls to function. You can test this on your system with the test_alert.php CLI script in the Observium root directory. In general, Observium is a fairly demanding PHP application so it's good practice to try to keep PHP as up to date as possible. We've seen some very nice performance improvements over the past few years, and 8.0 is going to bring even more. For this reason we don't recommend running Observium on distributions like RHEL/CentOS which hold old versions for as long as possible. Thanks, Adam.

Hey Guys, Is there a way to create a dashboard that will include all graphs of ports that match a certain description ? Dynamically that is :) Cheers, Pieter

CE No RRD Updates Since Upgrade to 20.9
by Scott Driemeier-Showers 24 Nov '20

24 Nov '20

I run two instances of Observium. Professional is installed at the office and CE is installed in my home lab. I followed the steps to upgrade CE (I know, everyone says that) in my lab from 19.8 to 20.9 on November 8 and none of the graphs have updated since. I have rebooted, checked permissions, verified all expected services are running, etc. Reviewing the event log in the Web UI and the logs on the server all show activity. The timestamps of the individual RRD files are updating every time poller runs - just nothing happening in the UI. Can someone help me think of anything else to check? CentOS 7.9 MariaDB 10.3.27-1 PHP 7.2.34 (OPcache Enabled) Thanks, Scott

OSPF Neighbour ID isn't always the IP address
by Pieter De Wit 23 Nov '20

23 Nov '20

Hey Guys, I noted this morning when I added a device that Observium tries to auto discover the OSPF Neighbours - this is awesome, but won’t work in our env. (Firewalls and IDs) ##### Module Start: neighbours ##### o LLDP-MIB o CISCO-CDP-MIB o OSPF-MIB o Trying to discover host 10.x.x.255 (10.x.x.255) through OSPF (ospf) o Trying to discover host 10.y.y.255 (10.y.y.255) through OSPF (ospf) o Trying to discover host 10.y.y.0 (10.y.y.0) through OSPF (ospf) We force our ID’s to be higher or lower depending on what we need. I tried to see if the real IP address is in the SNMP dump, but my SNMP magic is failing :( Cheers, Pieter

Limit Radius user to specific devices/ports
by Joelly, Alexander 22 Nov '20

22 Nov '20

I’m authenticating against RSA , set the groupmemberattr Filter-ID and some auth_radius_groups with different privilege levels. What i could not figure out is how i can limit one Filter-ID to just a specific device or port. In the GUI it’s possible to configure some Roles, once added they cannot be removed anymore via the GUI? Thanks, Alex

STP in Observium
by Torstein Eide 22 Nov '20

22 Nov '20

Hi Observium On Jira multiple people ask for status on adding Old/RSTP/MSTP Spanning tree protocol. So it sounds like it is a much sought after feature. https://jira.observium.org/browse/OBS-3509 https://jira.observium.org/browse/OBS-1853 In OBS-3509 I have added proposals on how the database and a layout for the frontend. Based on that Observium has excellent handling of port status and layer 3 features. What is stopping us from implementing it? -- Torstein Eide Torsteine(a)gmail.com

Re: [Observium] Graph Data Missing after Upgrade RAM
by Aulia Rahman 18 Nov '20

18 Nov '20

Dear Adam, Sorry to resend because I didn't get the answer, thanks before. > It’s likely that you need more CPU, rather than more RAM. Ending up in these out of memory scenarios are usually because the CPU was too slow and too many processes piled up. The processor full if there's a poll is running after that it will normal again. I've follow the tutorial to using persistent ramdisk https://docs.observium.org/persistent_ramdisk/ If ramdisk, RAM and swap are full, does the RRD still written ? Because in that condition, the graph not written and there's an error when access the gui: *"DB Error 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)*" after restart the DB service it will normal again. please advice. >If you can’t see historic data, it means the RRD containing the historical data has been somehow overwritten. Observium won’t do this by itself, so somehow you managed to delete or move the original RRDs. >You can restore the RRDs from backup, and it should write to these. I can manual restore from backup of the backup ramdisk, thanks. Because when I try to manual extract the ramdisk data from LZOP first backup file it end with error. > Though, if the RRDs have somehow disappeared, I’d check to make sure you don’t have some form of filesystem/storage corruption, because the two might be linked. After investigate, when the shutdown process, the ramdisk didn't write the latest data before the server turn off. Because I didn't see any log about Ramdisk write data to hardisk. How to achieve it ? because in the document didn't explain detail about it. When startup process it succesfull load the data from ramdsk via rc.local script but the data loaded is corrupt, I can confrm this because when I try to manual extract from LZOP compression end with error, only some graph can be restored. Please advice. > BTW, please don’t send images to the mailing list. Sorry I've resend the mail but forgot to cancel the first one. Demikian yang dapat kami sampaikan, terimakasih.

New OS support
by Craig Smith 18 Nov '20

18 Nov '20

Hello, I'm looking for someone that can add support for a couple of Telco Systems (www.telco.com) models (T-Marc 3308 & T-Marc 3348S) to Observium. I can provide MIBs and access remotely to the devices for development. My company is willing to pay a resonable price for a set of agreed features being supported, and for the work to be contributed to Observium.
