Wowza MIB
by Matt Vinson 30 Sep '16

30 Sep '16

How does one go about requesting MIB support? Or alternatively, adding MIB support manually to one's own server? Wowza Streaming Engine just recently added SNMP and developed their own MIB. It would be extremely useful for us to be able to monitor this application in depth.

High CPU load on Cisco S500G Small business switches
by Jamie Tynan 29 Sep '16

29 Sep '16

Hi, We've noticed an issue with Cisco SG500 switches and Observium, where if you enable stacking mode (the default on the switch), regardless of if it is in a stack or not, the CPU reports a 50% average. Our investigations show it runs at 95% + for a couple of minutes whilst Observium is polling it, then drops back down to <10% when the query finishes. Turning stacking mode off drops the average CPU to <10% and CPU does not ramp up and down. We raised a case with Cisco TAC, who said this is "expected behaviour": >>> At every 5 min cycle, the CPU rises to 85- 95% temporarily and then drops down. The reason for this is, Observium is checking for interface status. When switch is in standalone mode the interface count database is the max switch capacity. Example 48 ports = 48 ports plus channel ports ~ 60 ports In stack mode the predefined port count in the data base is around 880 ports. While the switch is responding to SNMP get , it is using up resources and that is why the CPU utilization will be high. While I was testing it, I did not see or encountered any network outage or Web access issues. We have already made an enhancement request for this behaviour, to limit the port count to any stack configuration. >>> Has anyone else encountered anything similar? Adam - I realise that Observium is only polling what the switch is reporting, but if Observium can ascertain how many switches are in the stack, would it be possible to limit polling to only query active/connected stack members? Thanks, Jamie

Using Obserivum on server with multiple interfaces/vlan?
by Johann Mallet 29 Sep '16

29 Sep '16

Hello, Simple question : We need upgrade our Observium deployment with multiple networks (public & private). Does Observium have any issue accessing nodes via more than one server interface? Whether two different physical ports or two different vlans on the same port? Some proprietary vendor NMS solutions are somehow locked to one interface only and cause great trouble. :o) Thanks, Johann

Bandwidth Reporting Off
by Talk Jesus 28 Sep '16

28 Sep '16

I’ve been using Observium for a while and there seems to be some discrepancies between my graphs and the upstream (my data center provides me Ethernet GigE bandwidth). For example, from around 8am to 12pm today it showed overall utilization pretty consistent well above 400Mbps. These switches are actually trunked (2 x 3650 L3 switches). In the graph, it shows the uplink to switch #2 connectivity calculated with the total utilization (VLAN2155). This is definitely not accurate as it shouldn’t do that as far I’m concerned. Total utilization should simply be Drops #1 & #2, which covers all VLANs on both switches. Example: Drop #1 = 40Mbps Drop #2 = 200Mbps Uplink to Switch #2 = 130Mbps Now as a result VLAN2155 (total utilization) is calculating not only #1 and #2 drops from the upstream, but even the trunk port labeled “Uplink to Switch #2”. I disabled polling on that uplink port and the total utilization (VLAN2155) is still far higher than what the output is for the past 24 hours from the upstream provider. They show 187Mbps past 24 hours (95th), 219M In / 202 Out. I show 266M In / 182M Out. Why is it so drastically different? Why is Observium calculating the “uplink” to the trunked 2nd switch in the total utilization graph? This is throwing off accuracy.

VRF/BGP/OSPF discovery in vrf-lite (nx-os)
by Stef Renders 28 Sep '16

28 Sep '16

Hi Does anyone know whether it is currently possible to discover bgp/ospf routing instances within a VRF on the NX-OS platform ? We migrated from IOS to NX-OS, IOS was passing them through snmp just fine. But NX-OS requires snmpv3 contexts for vrf resources. A full walk in the 'default-vrf' does not contain any metrics for the vrf's running on this VDC. The problem is more or less described here as well: https://github.com/librenms/librenms/issues/280 Kind regards Stef

Port Group / Entity Question
by Pico Leto 28 Sep '16

28 Sep '16

Hi, Can a port group contain multiple entities checks? I'm trying to just group our carriers for each location into port group. For instance I have our isp/carriers listed in the following format for the port descriptions on our routers L3:CKTID:DEMARC COG:CKTID:DEMARC My entity matches on either of those but when I combine them like the following below, I don't see any devices being associated with it. ifAlias matches *COG:* ifAlias matches *L3:*

Please review this Cisco document regarding interface persistence. This is likely the issue you are seeing, not a problem with Observium itself. http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/simple-network-management-prot… There is a command you can include in your configuration that will keep interface numbering persistent across reboots. I just don't recall it exactly off the top of my head, or I would include it here. ...

Trunk Issues
by Talk Jesus 28 Sep '16

28 Sep '16

I've been using Observium for a while and there seems to be some discrepancies between my graphs and the upstream (my data center provides me Ethernet GigE bandwidth). For example, from around 8am to 12pm today it showed overall utilization pretty consistent well above 400Mbps. I have two drops from them: primary and secondary (redundant). Plus, they both show active instead of active/passive. Not sure if that has anything to do with it. >From the tech: "95th percentile is calculated from both ingress and egress traffic. For example, if you used a constant 200Mbps up and down, then you would only be charged your commit of 200Mbps, not double. I do see what you mean that the two handoffs (layer 2) are equaling more than 300Mbps, but when you look at the Aggregate (layer 3) graph at the top, it does not go over 300Mbps. These packets can possibly be queued before going out so you don’t go over your commit. " So, what do you think might be causing this hiccup? I noticed this too: so these switches are actually trunked (2 x 3650 L3 switches). In the graph, it also shows the uplink connectivity calculated with the total utilization. This is definitely not accurate as it shouldn't do that. Example: Drop #1 = 40Mbps Drop #2 = 200Mbps Uplink to Switch #2 = 130Mbps Now as a result VLAN2155 (total utilization) is calculating not only #1 and #2 drops from the upstream, but even the trunk port labeled "Uplink to Switch #2". How can I rectify this with Observium to avoid that and get an accurate output?

Can't Add Device
by Talk Jesus 28 Sep '16

28 Sep '16

Trying to add my secondary trunked switch, but I get this error "Could not ping switch2.mydomain.com." I ran a DNS lookup on that hostname and it shows the records fine and the switch (#2) accurately. I tried adding the device using the same setup as the original switch that's already there: port 161, udp transport, v2c protocol version, snmp community same as primary. I can ping the hostname too, not sure why Observium cannot.

False positives on Device Alerts
by Timothy Kaufman 27 Sep '16

27 Sep '16

We have an SE installation with about 260 devices being checked. We have alerting setup for various services or checks. Often we see false positives on the SNMP device down alert, for example devices will report SNMP down when they are not really down. After a second or even third SNMP check we see a recovery and the uptime shows no outage. I also verify this by doing and snmpwalk from observium while the “alert” is active. Is there anything we can check or begin to look to find the cause. The server is not overloaded, with either memory or processor. We are running 25 poller wrappers with a complete polling time of about 300 seconds. Thanks, Tim

Port Alerts
by Peter Smith 23 Sep '16

23 Sep '16

Hi, I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question but I am interested in setting up alerts for key ports only. I have setup the example which shows Enabled ports which are currently down: Tests ifAdminStatus equals up ifOperStatus notequals up Entity Match ifType equals ethernetCsmacd However I cannot work out how to refine it further - such as trunk ports only or if the port description contains a string, such as "CORE". We would like to know when key ports go down only. I have tried adding: ifAlias equals *CORE* and similar configuration but I expect I have the syntax incorrect. The idea would be to alert on either ports containing a certain word in their description or on tagged/trunk ports. I also tried to find a location to search the old emails from this mailing list but have been unable to find it. Many thanks, Peter

Alert check for only one Nexus Fex modul
by Laszlo Nemeth 22 Sep '16

22 Sep '16

Hello I have a Nexus switch (hostname is sw01) with lot of FEX. I would like to check only one FEX (fex name is Fex-120) Die-1 temperature value. I go to Devices > Network and select „sw01” device, select Health > Temperature and there i see every FEX sensors. [cid:image001.png@01D214BB.99AFC980] So i would like to create a check for Fex-120 Die-1 if over 45C i would like to get an alert. I tried to create alert check but i am not able to set up correctly. This check get all of FEX temperatures: Device Match: hostname match sw01 Entity Match: sensor_class equals temperature Check Conditions: sensor_value greater 45 What i have to modofiy to get only the requested FEX’s Die-1 temperature? Thanks Laszlo
