Minute storage changes causing storm of "Storage Size Change" messages
by Cody Cook 02 Dec '16

02 Dec '16

I am on 0.16.12.8277 and noticed that I am getting new alerts on the eventlog. Just this week alone, there are 82.8k items about storage changing. My volumes are generally zfs with many subvolumes, and as a result, all entries are coming up in the eventlog. This also wipes away any other important changes that might be overlooked.

No polling
by Martin Snygg 02 Dec '16

02 Dec '16

Hi I just discovered that my install stopped polling since a couple of days, I think it´s because a svn switch I did. When running the poller-wrapper.py I get the following: Traceback (most recent call last): File "./poller-wrapper.py", line 306, in <module> if instances_count > 1 and instance_number >= 0 and (instance_number < instances_count): NameError: name 'instances_count' is not defined Where do I define "instance_count" and how? /Martin Snygg

Memory alerting false positives
by Musall, Maik 01 Dec '16

01 Dec '16

Hi, I have an alert on a linux server configured for "mempool_perc gt 90", which is firing all the time because of irrelevant caching use. Memory on Linux is always used. I'm more interested in the orange part of this graph: The device is called ucd_memory. Is there a metric I can use to get the value that's at 61% in this graph, to catch spikes like the one at 14:00 time? Thanks Maik

poller duration
by Vater, Wolfgang 01 Dec '16

01 Dec '16

Is there a way to see which module is taking all the time when polling a device? I have Nexus 5000 switches with lots of ports, so I assume it the ports that take most of the time, but I would like to see what else takes a lot of time and if I can live without that information and disable the polling for it (like fdbcount). My N5Ks take 400 sec on average.

Active Directory LDAP Group Recursive Lookups
by Chip Pleasants 30 Nov '16

30 Nov '16

Hi all, We are having trouble with LDAP group recursive lookups in Active Directory. We are wondering how to configure Observium if in Active Directory we put another Active Directory group and if the group inside does not live under the current groupbase. Below is a example. I've set auth_ldap_recursive_maxdepth to 3. I tried adding the group and adjusting the groupbase together as well as individually without luck. Do we need to add that group to Observium? Is this sort of thing supported? Is there anything I can provide that may help? Current $config['auth_ldap_group'] = array("CN=Observium Admin,OU=Apps,OU=Security,DC=corp,DC=company,DC=net"); $config['auth_ldap_groupbase'] = "OU=Apps,OU=Security,DC=corp,DC=company,DC=net"; Future $config['auth_ldap_group'] = array("CN=Observium Admin,OU=Apps,OU=Security,DC=corp,DC=company,DC=net",CN=DEPT,OU=POOP,OU=Security,DC=corp,DC=company,DC=net"); $config['auth_ldap_groupbase'] = "OU=Security,DC=corp,DC=company,DC=net"; Thanks, -Chip

Problem with make graphs on ports
by Janusz Janik 30 Nov '16

30 Nov '16

Good morning, I have problem with making graphs on ports. Observium recognize one of device as: ZXR10 ROS Version V4.6.02A ZXPON C300 Software, Version V2.6.02A.21 Copyright (c) 2000-2006 by ZTE Corporation Compiled Feb 4 2013, 03:49:41 It looks like most of ports do not gathering data: MAC addres is not showing up and traffic is displayed like 0bps. But real traffic exists on these ports. This instance of observium contains more devices. Problems exist on two devices with 72 ports. The other two devices have 48 and 24 ports, and generally traffic has draw properly on these devices. We suspect the key is too big number of ports on single device and observium doesn't "know" what is going on. We use observium community edition Observium CE 0.16.10.8128 (6th October 2016) I attach log from poller: ./poller.php -i 4 -n 1 -dd > /home/janix/poller.log in file. This device is the most important. We can send more log files if it will be necessary. Best regards, Janusz Janik -- Pozdrawiam, Janusz Janik http://idhosting.pl/

Failed dbQuery

Hi all, We just upgrade Observium Pro version from 5565 to 8181 a few days. Everything seems to be working from we can tell, although since the upgrade we noticed this message in the db.log. It occurs for multiple devices. We are running Ubuntu 12.04.5. I'm wondering if it is because we are running PHP is 5.3? Has anyone seen this message after upgrading? It would nice to have some idea about the error message before we upgrade to 16.04.1. Thanks for the assistance in advance and let me know if you need any other information.

Network Interface marked as "ignored" during discovery?
by Kaya Saman 27 Nov '16

27 Nov '16

Hi, I'm trying to get one of my network interfaces to appear in Observium but for some strange reason it is being marked as "ignored"? In my config.php I haven't included any statements to ignore any devices and the poll time for this particular machine is only a few seconds considering that it's connection to the network is via wifi. The output of #sudo -u www ./discovery.php -h <host> -f shows: ##### Module Start: ports ##### o Caching OIDs ifDescr ifAlias ifName ifType ifOperStatus o Caching DB 2 ports o Discovering ports ..X +---------+--------------------------------+-------------+---------+------------------+-------------+---------+ | ifIndex | ifDescr | ifName | ifAlias | ifType | Oper Status | Ignored | +---------+--------------------------------+-------------+---------+------------------+-------------+---------+ | 1 | lo | lo | ... | softwareLoopback | up | no | | 2 | Realtek Semiconductor Co., ... | ens33 | ... | ethernetCsmacd | down | no | | 3 | wlp0s29f7u7 | wlp0s29f7u7 | ... | ethernetCsmacd | up | yes | +---------+--------------------------------+-------------+---------+------------------+-------------+---------+ o Duration 0.2046s Observium is seeing the interface but just ignoring it? In the UI I don't see anywhere to view 'ignored' ports; I only see "alerts", "down" and "deleted". The port does however, show up under the Inventory section. Does anyone have any idea on how to make this interface not be 'ignored'? After 2 days of searching for an answer I can only conclude that perhaps I need to make this change on the actual MySQL DB itself though I do not know the location of the 'ignore' section of ports/interfaces <- that and this is probably a really bad way of doing things too....! Many Thanks. Kaya
