Mikrotik polling
by Kacper Czerwonka 11 Jan '17

11 Jan '17

Hi. I'm getting some SNMP errors when polling my Mikrotik RB800 device. This is from GUI: MIKROTIK-MIB *mtxrWlApClientCount Failed response 3331* >From CLI: ./poller.php -h um-rbswr.ap | grep mtxr o MIKROTIK-MIB mtxrDHCP and the: ##### Module Start: wifi ##### o MIBs MIKROTIK-MIB o Module time 0.0122s So I'm thinking, that it even doesn't try to ask about it, but when I'm typing by hand from Obserevium server: snmpwalk -c public -v 2c um-rbswr.ap .1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.1.3.1.6 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.14988.1.1.1.3.1.6.6 = Counter32: 0 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.14988.1.1.1.3.1.6.7 = Counter32: 0 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.14988.1.1.1.3.1.6.8 = Counter32: 0 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.14988.1.1.1.3.1.6.9 = Counter32: 0 Any ideas were to dig to solve it?

Feature Request?
by Lyndon Labuschagne 10 Jan '17

10 Jan '17

Hello We use Observium in conjunction with Rancid, we backup not only our Routers and Switches but also our UBNT Radios. The feature request is as follows, If we set a CPE radio to "Ignore device for alerting and notifications” the backup attempts will also stop For most of our radios we don’t ever ignore them, however in the consumer space there are clients who will switch off equipment every day when they are not home, or will unplug they are going away for a weekend or longer, We still poll these consumer radios so that we can graph traffic and packetloss etc, but are not really worried if the client switches them off, we don't proactively monitor consumer / home user radios. however when a number of clients do switch their kit off it fills up the screen that is used by NOC. Is there a way to still allow rancid from backup up a device that has been set to ignore?

Nested location menu glitch
by Attila Nagy 10 Jan '17

10 Jan '17

Hi everyone! We recently updated to the latest CE version and happily saw the new improvements, the new map really rocks, and the small things are awesome too. What I would like to point out is one small glitch in the new (at least for us) nested location menu. We use $config['location_map'] to mass override the location strings of most devices (lots of devices don't cope with accented/special characters, so we limit the on device sysLocation and add human readable address later on), and we include exact coordinates in square brackets at the end of the new location string. And here comes the glitch, the split char for the nested menu is by default comma, so the new location string gets one extra split in the middle of the coordinates like: Locations > Some place > some other place [43.53 > 15.25] A solution that I found is to completely drop any coordinates from the end of the location string. For this I changed /opt/observium/html/includes/navbar.inc.php and added to the line 165: $location = preg_replace('/\[[[:digit:]NWSE,. -]+\]$/','',$location); As seen in context: foreach (get_locations() as $location) { + $location = preg_replace('/\[[[:digit:]NWSE,. -]+\]$/','',$location); // If location is empty, substitute by OBS_VAR_UNSET as empty location parameter would be ignored $name = ($location === '' ? OBS_VAR_UNSET : escape_html($location)); Another solution that came into my mind - and one that is more general - is to include an option, something like $config['location']['menu']['nested_end_string'] = ' - '; where the location string would be truncated at the first occurrence of this subtring. This way one can enter extra information in the location string be it from the sysLocation of a device or from $config['location_map'] and have it displayed in the Location entry of a device but ignore it during the composition of the Location menu. /opt/observium/html/includes/navbar.inc.php line 165: (together with the previous changes) foreach (get_locations() as $location) { + $location = preg_replace('/\[[[:digit:]NWSE,. -]+\]$/','',$location); + if (strlen($config['location']['menu']['nested_end_string']) > 0) + $location = preg_replace('/'.$config['location']['menu']['nested_end_string'].'.*$/', '', $location); // If location is empty, substitute by OBS_VAR_UNSET as empty location parameter would be ignored $name = ($location === '' ? OBS_VAR_UNSET : escape_html($location)); I hope you'll find these changes usable (and you didn't already addressed these - in this case sorry for robbing your time). Regards, Tylla

some HP/Colubris SNMP data missing
by Kevin Passino 09 Jan '17

09 Jan '17

We have several HP/Colubris MSC-3200 devices on our network, and while most of the SNMP data seems to be available just fine there seem to be a few things missing compared to what I can view in OpenNMS. I looked through the MIBs folder and it does appear that all the MIBs exist but it seems that some of the data isn't being exposed in the webUI. Specifically, OpenNMS exposes a "Colubris Public Access Users" that allows me to view how many users are logged in at any given time. In OpenNMS it seems to be nested under "SNMP Node Data > Node Level Performance Data". Is this something I have to create a graph for or is there some sort of configuration change I need to make to get Observium to scrape that particular data?

Direct link to group images change when group members change
by Jesper Frank Nemholt 09 Jan '17

09 Jan '17

Hi! I'm using the direct link to graph images for a portal containing data from other tools (Grafana etc.) and I've noticed that it seems the id part (marked in bold below) seem to change when the members of the group the graph is created from change....which happens every now & then due to auto-discovery). The result is that most of the time the graphs work, but if a new device is added or anything else is changed for a group view, the direct graph URL ID changes and from there on any old reference is invalid. I haven't looked into the code, but would assume that the ID should refer to the group ID and thus be constant, but it seems it's not. Any insight on how this works and how it potentially could be fixed ?

HP Intelligent PDU support?
by Laszlo Nemeth 07 Jan '17

07 Jan '17

Hello We have some HP Intelligent PDU (AF252A) with External Bar. (AF547A) I added it to Observium (0.16.8.8039) but it shows only a very basic detail from the PDU. Only the Ethernet and a Loopback interface shows, not the current usage like any other APC PDUs. Possibly to add this device to the supported PDUs? If need i can create debug outputs. Thanks Best Regards, Laszlo

[observium] HP Power consumption
by D vA 06 Jan '17

06 Jan '17

Thank you all for any response and for the great observium tool! I was wondering if obserium could monitor my HP Proliant power consumption (on Linux server). During my initial search I found 2 items in JIRA: http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBSERVIUM-476 and http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBSERVIUM-1834 After installing the hp-snmp-agents and activating them in SNMP I see information in snmpwalk (using this as resource: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:-mM1kr6Ubv0J:thejimmah… ) But unlike JIRA issue-1834 suggests only very few information was added. 59m 28s srv01 Asset_tag -> 59m 28s srv01 Serial -> CZJ2XXXXXX 59m 28s srv01 Hardware -> HP ProLiant ML350 G6 x86 [64bit] When looking at the following Nagios check a lot more information could be added: https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Hardware/Server-Hardware/HP-%… Has anybody tried adding extra information for HP servers? Is it possible to add the power consumption to Observium, and if yes, how? Thanks in advance! Regards, Dion

Alert entity references
by Garrett Pye 05 Jan '17

05 Jan '17

Setting up alert types and curious if those referenced in the documentation is generic for all supported devices? Trying to set up the following power supply threshold as an example to test alert and notification. Just little confused on the required syntax for entity. Meaning, does Observium know what "power" is regardless of the device and by the looks of the graph it measures in "watts". [image: Inline image 3] [image: Inline image 1] [image: Inline image 2]

Currently testing Observium in lab environment with an initial 90 HP devices to possibly propose migrate away from Nagios. I don't see in the documentation if there is a performance limit reached if and when I add another 40 devices. Also, does this same platform support SIP error logging traffic or is it limited to discovered enabled modules? //Garrett
