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

What determines a devices' uniqueness?
by Sebastian Harrington 22 Nov '16

22 Nov '16

Hi All, We're currently evaluating observium as a our main network monitoring tool. We're using Observium CE 0.16.10.8128 and wondering how observium determines a device as unique? We currently have the same switch added twice (via auto discovery) into observium and wondered why observium didn't detect it as the same device. Thanks for a wonderful tool! Kind regards, Seb Harrington Network Team Lead, IT Services, University of Sussex,

Apache hanging (probably not Observium issue but Apache issue)
by Jesper Frank Nemholt 20 Nov '16

20 Nov '16

Hi! I've started to see that on specific actions from within the Observium GUI Apache will lock up. It seems random what action it is, but all Apache workers stop responding and it takes forever to restart Apache afterwards (5-10 min to do a service httpd restart). Anyone had the same issue ? I see no errors in the Apache logs and no errors in Observium logs, nor in other logs on the LInux server (CentOS 7.2). Observium polling still run as usual, so it's just the web interface stopping. /Jesper

Both HOSTNAME and IP ADDRESS in Observium
by Zaheer ... 18 Nov '16

Hello all, I am new to Observium, i am wondering if it is possible to have both the 'hostname' and 'IP address' of our monitored devices in 'devices' -> 'All Devices' tap? Actually i can either add a device by : 1) Its IP address thus i won't have the 'hostname' 2) Or add the 'hostname" and 'IP address' in (/etc/hosts) and add the equipment on Observium, with this option i won't have the IP address

Hi there I installed last week Observium and I am very impressed on how cool this software is. I am having an issue: While monitoring Juniper SRX5[4|8]00s, I can collect all sorts of information from these devices, except for the CP Sessions and the Flow Sessions, they show empty in all firewalls graphs. I would appreciate if someone can help me troubleshoot this. Thank you Pablo

Regex in alert checkers
by Michael 16 Nov '16

16 Nov '16

When you have a problem that can be solved with regex, you now have two problems... I'm having trouble making a fairly basic regex string match in the alerting system. I want to not match any devices that have hostnames starting with a digit. Easy, right. I think my problem is not finding the right bracing to build the syntax within the ui. Things I have tried that don't seem to work: hostname notregexp \b\d.* hostname notregexp /\b\d.*/ hostname notregexp /(\b\d.*)/ hostname notregexp '/\b\d.*/' hostname notregexp "\b\d.*" hostname notregexp "/\b\d.*/" hostname notregexp '\b\d.*' Has anybody figured out what the secret handshake is?

Observium Custom Agent Module
by Roman Romanyak 15 Nov '16

15 Nov '16

Hello Observium users, I was following this manual http://www.keithrogers.co.uk/?p=12 to create a custom graph in observium and hit some issues. The APP tab does not appear in observium gui and looks like the graph is not being created. Here is some data: When I run "poller -h monitored_server" I see the following info in the output: [ntp] => string(0) "" [postfix_mailq] => string(19) "Mail queue is empty" [local] => string(0) "" [app] => array( [apache_procs] => string(6) "609938" ) ) ... ... No include: kernel No include: netctr No include: ntp No include: postfix_mailq No include: local No include: app Including: applications/apache_procs.inc.php apache_procs So, it looks like observium is getting data, but I'm not sure where to look to check why I don't see the relevant graph. Thanks, Roman. -- Roman Romanyak Network engineer
