UNIX agent for PostgreSQL creating a new RRD file every poll since Aug 12
by Musall Maik 16 Aug '16

16 Aug '16

Hi, I noticed that postgresql application data disappeard on all servers recently. It ran fine for years, but since Aug 12, a new rrd file gets created on every poll, and the postgresql application tab is absent for all servers. I'm updating my installation daily on 9am, so this started happening after the Aug 12 update. Here's the oldest few files (out of over 1200 so far) for one of the servers: -rw-rw-r-- 1 observium observium 2086688 Aug 12 09:40 app-postgresql-12.rrd -rw-rw-r-- 1 observium observium 2086688 Aug 12 09:35 app-postgresql-11.rrd -rw-rw-r-- 1 observium observium 2086688 Aug 12 09:30 app-postgresql-10.rrd -rw-rw-r-- 1 observium observium 2086688 Aug 12 09:25 app-postgresql-9.rrd -rw-rw-r-- 1 observium observium 2086688 Aug 12 09:20 app-postgresql-8.rrd -rw-rw-r-- 1 observium observium 2086688 Aug 12 09:15 app-postgresql-7.rrd -rw-rw-r-- 1 observium observium 2086688 Aug 12 09:10 app-postgresql-6.rrd -rw-rw-r-- 1 observium observium 2086688 Aug 12 09:05 app-postgresql-5.rrd -rw-rw-r-- 1 observium observium 2086688 Apr 14 09:00 app-postgresql-_index_.rrd -rw-rw-r-- 1 observium observium 2086688 Apr 16 2015 app-postgresql-.rrd Apparently some change went wrong?

Authentication
by Zoellers, Billy 15 Aug '16

15 Aug '16

Is there any way to utilize local authentication and LDAP authentication simultaneously? We would like to utilize LDAP for our technicans, but also be able to create local users for client access. Would it be possible to create multiple login pages or something similar? Thanks, Billy [cid:DeanDortonbox.png] Billy Zoellers Infrastructure Engineer 106 W.

Thoughts on "locations" front-page module
by Daniel Horth 15 Aug '16

15 Aug '16

In our setup the ‘map’ frontage module is pretty and impresses exec level types, however the space is mostly wasted as far as an engineer is concerned, requiring multiple clicks to drill in to areas of interest. I’d like to have the location table as seen at http://observium/locations <http://observium/locations> on my home page instead. Is this an option that can be implemented simply enough? Does anyone else think that this is a good idea? Thanks for looking!

Please help create an alert :) Nexus FEX PS problem
by Laszlo Nemeth 11 Aug '16

11 Aug '16

Hello At the night the Observium showed an alert (fortunately) that I never set up in the Alert checks . I see this alert in Global/Alerts and the left up box there is an “1 alert” in the Statuses row. If I click the “1 alert” it shows me that a Cisco Nexus FEX modul’s powersupply EVENT is alert and Status is offDenied. So it is a dead PS. What I can to do if I would like to get alert if this happen again? I have lot of Alert Checks but I am not able to do an alert for this PS check because I don’t know what is the correct Entity match of it. I tried the “sensor_class equals powersupply” and Test is “sensor_value greater 2” (looks the normal PS value is 2, now this failed PS value is 4). But it doesn’t work (no matched entities). Thanks Laszlo

alerting problem
by Laszlo Nemeth 11 Aug '16

11 Aug '16

Hello, At the morning I was on the 7933 but 2 hours ago I updated to 8039. I used a CPU alert for my routers. In the older version it is worked, I got the alerts via mail and PagerDuty as I set up. Now after the upgrade I would like to test the alerting because on 7933 i “pached” the pagerduty.inc.php for more info in the PD message (the default file just send like “something wrong somewhere” :) So. After the upgrade with the original (nor pached) PD file I would like a test to see how looks out a PD message now. I set a lower value for the CPU alerting (from 50% to 15%) to generate alerting (now the cpu load is 18-25%) After a few minutes I see in the Alers / Processor that my deviced appear and show that the status is FAILED. It is ok. In the Alert Logging I get the “Checks failed” so it is great. But. I never get “Alert notification sent” messages. (I get “Alert notification sent” for other events, so the alerting is working for other services). I see in the Alerts that the router’s status is Failed, Checked 18s Changed 20m 36s, Alerted: never. What I have to do for send the alerts? Or for the debug? Thanks BR Laszlo

Re: [Observium] Alerting on Application attributes
by Neil French 09 Aug '16

09 Aug '16

Hi, Thanks for the confirmation, it’s great that alerting on an OID will be coming soon and in my case that will work, I’ll keep the App for viewing graphs and use a custom OID to monitor alerts by. Ultimately alerting on data collected by apps would be beneficial but not essential, as it will give neater integration options but I can see the complexities in that, maybe allowing apps to store pertinent stats for alerting in a column holding an array with a sub-array for each app? Anyway, I look forward to seeing the OID alerting soon. Thanks, Neil. ------------------------------ Message: 9 Date: Thu, 04 Aug 2016 09:50:00 -0500 From: Adam Armstrong <adama(a)memetic.org <mailto:adama@memetic.org>> To: Observium Network Observation System <observium(a)observium.org <mailto:observium@observium.org>> Cc: observium(a)observium.org <mailto:observium@observium.org> Subject: Re: [Observium] Alerting on Application attributes Message-ID: <fd070f1f-899c-4772-896b-540b771c7c16(a)typeapp.com <mailto:fd070f1f-899c-4772-896b-540b771c7c16@typeapp.com>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Hi, Alerting on custom oid is planned for the not too distant future (along with some other additions to custom oid).

DeltaUPS graphs broken after r8016
by Kent Johannessen 08 Aug '16

08 Aug '16

Well not really... but it will not use renamed RRDs before after a new discovery of sensors. Meanwhile polling will create new RRDs with old names, so it seems you have lost all data. Several hours of data can be missed because of this. Maybe some improvements can be done for that. NOTICE: Please immediately e-mail back to sender if you are not the intended recipient.

Holes in graphs
by Zoellers, Billy 08 Aug '16

08 Aug '16

Hello all, We're seeing holes on our graphs (example attached). This appears to be affecting all graphs in our installation on all devices. I know our connection is good (affecting LAN and WAN devices), but looking for any other ideas for correcting this? We have also tried increasing the number of poller processes. Only around 1000 ports on this install, 8 GB of RAM and 4 vCPU. Thanks, Billy [cid:image001.png@01D1EEFD.85030800] [cid:DeanDortonbox.png] Billy Zoellers Infrastructure Engineer 106 W.

No memory pools detected for OSX hosts
by Oliver Baker 08 Aug '16

08 Aug '16

Hi there, I'm running Observium 0.16.7.8003 (stable) for monitoring OSX hosts which is working great, except no memory pools are being detected for any hosts apart from "Swap space". Memory for OSX hosts did work previously, but after I mailed in re: "Incorrect free physical memory for Unix hosts" and Adam A. made a change, the memory pools have disappeared. What's the best course of action? Many thanks Olly

Apps tab used to show a single graph per item.
by Ricardo Meleschi 07 Aug '16

07 Aug '16

Hello Observium overlords, In the past the Apps tab in observium would only show a single graph per item/array, but with the later versions it shows four graphs per item of varying timelines. Is it possible to configure Observium to only show a single timeline graph per array? When a large number of servers are running the application, it’s difficult to compare graphs when they are displayed in the current manner. Thanks, Ricardo

Hi, Almost once a day I receive the following on one of the switches. Device not yet discovered This device has not yet been successfully discovered. System information and statistics will not be populated and graphs will not draw. This device should be automatically discovered within 10 minutes. It does not go away until I have manually run the /opt/observium/discovery.php Any ideas why? Thanks Laurence

Eaton 5130 'Inverter Off' Flipped
by Robert Williams 05 Aug '16

05 Aug '16

Hi, We've got several Eaton 5130 RT 3000 (with extended battery packs) being deployed to some remote locations. One of my guys has been setting them up overnight but has noticed that Observium reports one of the metrics incorrectly for all of the new units. Ironically the inverter status is, well, inverted. The platform is detected as: Hardware 5130 RT 3000 Operating system MGE UPS 6006AC (Firmware: JI) A debug of the status module, shows: SQL[UPDATE `status-state` set `status_value` ='2',`status_name` ='No',`status_event` ='ok',`status_last_change` ='1470278633',`status_polled` ='1470295701' WHERE `status_id` = '1289'] SQL RUNTIME[0.00013590s] Checking (snmp) Inverter Off CMD[/usr/bin/snmpget -v1 -c *** -Pu -OUqnv -m SNMPv2-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp 'udp':'ups-41.thn.oob.local':'161' .1.3.6.1.4.1.705.1.7.9.0] CMD EXITCODE[0] CMD RUNTIME[0.0414s] STDOUT[ 1 ] SNMP STATUS[TRUE] RRD CMD[update /opt/observium/rrd/ups-41.thn.oob.local/status-mge-status-state-upsmgOutputInverterOff.1.0.rrd N:1 --daemon unix:/var/run/rrdcached.sock] RRD RUNTIME[0.0011s] RRD STDOUT[OK u:0.00 s:0.00 r:0.65] RRD_STATUS[TRUE] - /opt/observium/includes/polling/status.inc.php:45 /opt/observium/includes/alerts.inc.php:61 ================================================ array( [status_value] => int(1) [status_name] => string(3) "Yes" [status_name_uptime] => int(17068) [status_event] => string(5) "alert" )) Reading the standards for that OID, that does seem to be the wrong way around. After a simulated power failure, you can see it goes to '2' when the power is failed and the inverter is (actually) off. As a side note, I noticed that Observium is polling the OIDs for a Merlin Gerin unit (.1.3.6.1.4.1.705.x) for when the unit is actually Eaton.

Search custom keywords / description
by Daniel Horth 05 Aug '16

05 Aug '16

Howdy all. Wondering if there is a way to allow users to search for a custom string / keyword as configured in Observium. I am adding a variety of linux boxes to our monitoring setup and would like to be able to have users search on an application name or service name and have all servers matching that keyword show as options. Thanks

power levels for Juniper MX
by Richard Savage 04 Aug '16

04 Aug '16

Hi Looks like there might be a slight issue with the reporting of power levels for SFP's in Juniper MX's. Seeing the following: on the Juniper MX: Laser rx power high alarm threshold : 2.0000 mW / 3.01 dBm Laser rx power low alarm threshold : 0.0000 mW / - Inf dBm Laser rx power high warning threshold : 0.7900 mW / -1.02 dBm Laser rx power low warning threshold : 0.0315 mW / -15.02 dBm But looks like observium is treating '-Inf' as '0' and this throwing an alert. (see attached) [cid:image001.png@01D1EC12.14D27B80] Might need to change how observium interprets Infinite values?

Help in New QoS support
by obm＠obm.cl 04 Aug '16

04 Aug '16

Hi, years ago I collaborated with huawei's integration and its MIBs files. It was before change to a commercial edition Now I've been working on Huawei's CBQoS support, but I have a few questions about. Already I've written for Huawei NE40 family a discovery and polling modules, using the mysql table called ports_cbqos. I found that every vendor has different implementations, even one vendor has different implementations for each their models. My questions: 1.- Could I create a new table or just modify the ports_cbqos table. 2.- Right now I have finished this URL and it's working fine: http://10.184.8.136/device/device=1/tab=port/port=8/view=hqos/ (a new VIEW called hqos and I know you can't reach it but I can create a public address) I do not know how to integrate it into the navigation panels or port links (How to chose between cisco's qos or huawei's qos when somebody follow the cbqos link) I think we need to create a new QoS module with multi-vendor support. (modify the database schema) Thanks, Oscar

Alerting on Application attributes
by Neil French 04 Aug '16

04 Aug '16

Hi, Apologies if this has been covered previously, I can’t seem to browse any mailing list archives as the link is dead. I have previously used custom OIDs to monitor a VoIP Application (FreeSWITCH) but found I couldn’t alert on custom OIDs, and that the graphing wasn’t as customisable as I wanted, so I have built a custom application for freeswitch. I now want to be able to raise alerts on a few things, such as when the number of new sessions per second is over a predefined value or when the uptime resets (application pop and restart). I can’t seem to find a way of creating an alert check for anything that’s not one of the basic properties of a device though. Could someone please tell me if this is possible? For example can I create my own attributes in the device then query them with an alert check? I have tried adding something like: $device[‘device_state’].[’my parameter’] = value But that doesn’t seem to be stored outside of the php script. It’s quite important that we are able to alert on custom parameters and I can either provide these as OIDs or through the unix agent, whichever gets the job done. Thanks, Neil.

SNMP Changes and rediscovery
by Derek 04 Aug '16

04 Aug '16

I've recently switched several devices off of SNMP v2c to v3, and I've updated my config.php with all the v3 parameters, and I'm wondering if there's a way for force a re-discovery using the new info without having to go into each individual device and enter in all the new SNMP information? I didn't see any flags in for discovery.php that would force it.
