Location menu gone after update
by William Bauer 18 Oct '16

18 Oct '16

I just updated our community edition to the latest, and the location dropdown in the devices menu is gone. We use that a ton--is there a way to get it back, perhaps in the config.php file? Thanks! Bill

by Richard Kucera 17 Oct '16

17 Oct '16

Dear Adam, Hello Community, my question is, if it's possible to move the "Status Warnings and Notifications" on XL screen to panel side. I modified already the dashboard for our need, the last thing is the "Status Warnings and Notifications" block. [cid:image001.png@01D228C4.17305430] Thank you in advance. Used Version: Observium 0.16.9.8118 (stable) Best regards from Switzerland Richard

NOC view
by MKS 17 Oct '16

17 Oct '16

Hello list I'm wondering if some of you are using observium as an alert system in a 24/7 NOC? I would like to have one window with open alerts, both from the alert checks and syslog alerts. Is it possible to copy the "syslog alerts" into the Alerts window (perhaps using some external program?) Regards MKS

syslog regex
by MKS 17 Oct '16

17 Oct '16

Hello list I'm having some problems with syslog alerts. RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Oct 17 11:44:17.872 : isis[1010]: %ROUTING-ISIS-5-ADJCHANGE : Adjacency to ****** (Bundle-Ether1.7) (L2) Down, Holdtime expired RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Oct 17 11:46:05.893 : isis[1010]: %ROUTING-ISIS-5-ADJCHANGE : Adjacency to ******* (Bundle-Ether1.7) (L2) Up, New adjacency I'm using the regex "/Adjacency.*Up/" and "/Adjacency.*Down/" The "/Adjacency.*Up/" alert is working fine, but the combo Adjacency and Down doesn't alert. If I match only on Adjacency or only on Down I do get an alert, both these two together don't work as expected. Any workarounds or a different regex I should use? Regards MKS

Maintenance and down devices
by Jesse Defer 14 Oct '16

14 Oct '16

I've made a small change to change how down devices are displayed when in maintenance mode that seems generally useful enough to include in the distro. It scratches my itch of being able to quickly see what downed devices have scheduled maintenace. It would probably be useful to extend to more areas like the color of device links and other entities. In html/includes/print/status.inc.php (about line 66): if (isset($GLOBALS['cache']['maint']['device'][$device['device_id']])) $string .= ' <td><span class="label label-info">Device Down (Maintenance)</span></td>' . PHP_EOL; else $string .= ' <td><span class="label label-important">Device Down</span></td>' . PHP_EOL; Jesse

Unable to add Host
by Matt Vinson 13 Oct '16

13 Oct '16

I noticed the Wowza MIB was in a recent update from SVN so I tried adding one of my hosts to our Observium server and it states: No reply on community t-public-ss using v2c. Could not reach 'HOSTNAME' with given SNMP parameters using v2c. I have done an snmpwalk from the Observium server to the host in question and it works properly. Anybody have any idea why I can't add this host? Thanks! -- Regards, Matt Vinson --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Hi Observium users, Re; GraphViz.js based maps built using; https://github.com/kedare/observium_map_generator https://gist.github.com/kedare/9806171 Hi, Their are a couple of graphing tools out there that use the "links" table, which does not seem to exist. Is there a replacement table that details the connections between devices? For example this no longer works :( SELECT UPPER(d.hostname) AS local_hostname, p.port_id AS local_port_id, p.ifName AS local_port, p.ifSpeed/1000000 as local_port_speed, l.remote_port_id AS remote_port_id, rp.ifName AS remote_port, UPPER(l.remote_hostname) AS remote_hostname, d.hardware AS hardware, rd.hardware AS remote_hardware, s.ifInErrors_rate AS local_in_errors_rate, s.ifOutErrors_rate AS local_out_errors_rate, s.ifInOctets_rate*8 AS local_in_octets_rate, s.ifOutOctets_rate*8 AS local_out_octets_rate, s.ifInOctets_perc AS local_in_octets_perc, s.ifOutOctets_perc AS local_out_octets_perc FROM `devices` AS d, `devices` as rd, `ports` AS p, `ports` as rp, `links` AS l, `ports-state` AS s WHERE p.port_id = l.local_port_id AND p.device_id = d.device_id AND rp.port_id = l.remote_port_id AND rp.device_id = rd.device_id AND p.port_id = s.port_id AND UPPER(d.hostname) = UPPER(%s); Thanks, Andy.

Billing Module Problem
by Andy Lemin 11 Oct '16

11 Oct '16

Hi, We are running the latest paid version, and turned on Billing last week. The cronjob is running fine but nothing comes up in the web interface? We followed; http://www.observium.org/docs/billing/ conrtab -l shows; # Billing */5 * * * * root php /opt/observium/poll-billing.php >> /dev/null 2>&1 1 * * * * root php /opt/observium/billing-calculate.php >> /dev/null 2>&1 And we have this in our config.php; // Billing $config['enable_billing'] = 1; # Enable Billing $config['billing']['customer_autoadd'] = 1; # Enable Auto-add bill per customer $config['billing']['circuit_autoadd'] = 1; # Enable Auto-add bill per circuit_id $config['billing']['bill_autoadd'] = 1; # Enable Auto-add bill per bill_id However nothing is being auto added? So we added a bill manually, and when running the cronjob scripts manually all seems to work fine, but after leaving it for a week (so data could build up) we still see this JpGraph error; Thanks, Andy.

Billing Graphs 2 hours ahead
by Lyndon Labuschagne 11 Oct '16

11 Oct '16

HI All Can anyone point me in the right direction? The billing graphs are working well, but for some reason the graph is 2 hours ahead. I assumed it may be the date.timezone setting in php.ini but that wasn't it. Thought it may have been the router time zone or incorrect NTP info, but that is also correct. The Last Polled and Last Calculated times are correct. Im sure its something simple that I am missing, but I can't fine it.

Discover new devices problem
by zois roupas 10 Oct '16

10 Oct '16

Hello everyone, Great Documentation and so far it's a great tool. One question though because i can't find a way to get auto discover new devices to work. Everything works great when adding the device ./add_device.php <ip> public v2c but when running ./discovery.php -h new , 0 devices discovered. I guess it's not a problem with the SNMP cause it wouldn't work with the manual ip addition, right? So the next step was to check the hosts file from the observium server. so this is the config 192.168.1.2 test-01.home.com #(machine to discover) The sysName variable from the machine that i want to discover is Linux test-01 3.10.0-327.36.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Sep 18 13:04:29 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 The firewall is disabled in both machines Sorry for the trouble but what am i missing here? Thanks for the time Zois

Re: [Observium] Auto discovery
by Mikey van der Worp 07 Oct '16

07 Oct '16

To whom it may concern, Currently we are having some issues with Observium's Auto Discovery. The problem is that it currently only discovers about 10% of the network. Does somebody have a clue on how to fix this issue? We already disabled the option "require valid hostnames" at the auto discovery settings. Unfortunately after changing this option, it only discovered about 10 more devices. Also we do not have any problems with the CDP neighbours on our switches.

Unable to save sensor values
by Robert Williams 07 Oct '16

07 Oct '16

Hi, On devices with large numbers of sensors it appears that I'm unable to set custom limits any more. I'm sure there used to be something about a maximum number of rows to be updated (a SQL setting?) but I can't remember or find any reference of it. The path to the page is: /device/device=XXX/tab=edit/section=sensors/ I don't get any errors when applying, but, as soon as the page refreshes the old settings are back. In fact, any change on the sensors page fails (setting custom values, disabling alerts, enabled custom limits etc.). It works fine on all devices with lower numbers of sensors. These ASR9k have well over 150 I reckon, maybe more, it's hard to count. Anyway, can someone remind me of the SQL tweak for this? Or is this a bug? Cheers!

Restrict alerts to HA active F5 only
by Daniel Horth 06 Oct '16

06 Oct '16

Hi all I have an alert checker set up to monitor our F5 BIG-IP devices, alerting administrators if they forget to syncronise config after making changes. My alert looks like this: Device Match: * Entity Match: status_type equals f5-config-sync-state Test conditions (Require all): status_name notequals inSync status_name notequals standalone This is working great, however to reduce spamminess of alerts I am looking to only send the alert for the primary (HA active) device; when an additional status_type / condition match is true, i.e.: Entity Match: status_type equals f5-ha-state Test conditions: status_name equals active Is it possible to have alert checkers trigger based upon groups of entity matches like this? Am I approaching this in the wrong way? Thanks Dan

Hi, First off, the last few revisions have been killer, it's getting better every few weeks it seems, thanks! Ive setup some syslog alerts and I see under "syslog alerts" it will show a entry and "notified" will be no, then it appears after a few minutes this changes to yes and send the notification. It looks like it does not send the message until it sees more then X number of messages, It's sent after I get this in the logs: 2016-10-04 20:53:13Error (3)LAST message repeated 10 times 2016-10-04 20:52:47Error (3)LAST message repeated 7 times 2016-10-04 20:52:33Error (3)XNTPD NTP Server Unreachable Is this documented somewhere and Im missing it? Just trying to see when the message gets fired off. We were using some janky omprog code to send alerts that were "instant" but rather have Observium send them as it's much cleaner all around, but some alerts we want to get on the very first message and right away as they are critical. I noticed the syslog rules severity of a 8, im guessing eventually that will control how "sensitive" the alerts go out maybe? Thanks

CBQoS Issue & Temperature
by Talk Jesus 05 Oct '16

Hello First thing, does the attach show anything I need to be concerned about? The warnings, although 6 days ago I'm not understanding where they came from. These are new switches, all 3 fans installed and green lights. Airflow sufficient and cooled. Secondly, I have 3 ports showing a CBQoS error. I checked and see it's due to packet loss because of rate limiting policy set previously. Running Cisco 3650. I've removed the policies from each of the port's VLANs assigned over an hour ago and Observium is still showing as the policies in place? It polled ample times on all ports but not quite sure why it's still showing the policies and errors? I did notice at least that it showed no packet loss once I removed the policies, but the error bubble is still there and it still shows the policy name when viewing the CBQoS page for the ports. >From the Switch Switch2#conf t Enter configuration commands, one per line.
