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.

Hi, I recently restored observium to a different machine. I restored the following: config.php mysql db rrd Everything looks good except for the fact that graphs stopped drawing and display data in a real time. When i click on port to see real time data, i get "can't get data about port xxx". See attached images. Any ideas ? Thanks

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

Device not yet discovered
by Laurence Mayer 05 Aug '16

05 Aug '16

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.

db.log

Hi, I've had a small Observium (c. 5500 ports) running for a couple of years (SVN version). Have configured housekeeping, which is fab and has kept things from getting out of hand. However, noticed /opt/observium/logs/db.log is a 5.6GB file... Can I clean this up? Should I be running a cron cleanup task on this?

False Alert (snmp)

Hello, Today for no known reason we received the below alert in the "Recent Events" (and via email), everything on the switch appears to have been ok and could not find any issue that should have caused this alert. 6h 36m 15scisco10g1 cisco10g1 Device status changed to Up 6h 36m 16scisco10g1 cisco10g1 Device status changed to Down (snmp) Is there a timeout that may have caused this that i can increase to avoid false/positives? Thanks Laurence

Ports Shown As Down
by Laurence Mayer 01 Aug '16

01 Aug '16

Hi, After a power outage, the front page (and Status Warnings and Notifications) is showing a Cisco device's Ports as Down, of all ports that have NO devices (workstations) connected. The alert I have defined (taken from the example) Port is enabled, but operationally down ifAdminStatus equals up ifOperStatus notequals up * ifType equals ethernetCsmacd I have run the poller.php multiple times with no success. Is there a default amount of time until these warnings will be cleared, is there a process that can be run to clear these alerts? Thanks Laurence

Observium poller/discovery module descriptions
by Andrew.Jones＠kiewit.com 01 Aug '16

01 Aug '16

I have searched your webpage and FAQ and can't seem to find answer to my question: Do you guys have a list handy describing what each of the poller and discovery modules do exactly? $config['poller_modules']['system'] = 1; $config['discovery_modules']['os'] = 1; I am working on a new deployment of Observium and am trying to optimize it and configure some custom requirements and it would be helpful having some additional information regarding each module. Thank you!

Howdy again. I am looking to add some graphs for squid performance metrics - wondering if there has been any work done on this to get me started or do I need to roll my own? Thanks

Slow poller speeds after migration
by Lyndon Labuschagne 29 Jul '16

29 Jul '16

Hi All I have moved from a VM server to a physical server. as the VM was taking a bit of a pounding, graph dropouts etc The physical server is a dual quad core Xeon, 2.66Ghz with 128GB of RAM and a 32GB ramdisk, and rrdcache I also have 2.5TB or SAS storage in a raid6 config Will all of this my average poller-wrapper time is around 60 to 70 seconds per device if I manually run an snmpwalk a single device takes around 6 seconds I have also disabled the ramdisk, rrdcached etc and I am not seeing much of a difference either way I have around 900 devices and the VM server was way faster, any idea where to start looking for a bottleneck? Regards Lyndon
