Event and alert dates show as 0s in summary tables
by Daniel Horth 24 Jul '16

24 Jul '16

Since updating my lab to pro version I am seeing 0s as time for events and alerts in rollup summary tables. https://www.dropbox.com/s/1zrlxmmocz393e0/Screenshot%202016-07-22%2012.55.1… When I hover over the 0s text it shows me the actual time https://www.dropbox.com/s/fmsjmgz6vzixdph/Screenshot%202016-07-22%2013.04.4… NB the alert from 14 hours ago was triggered when I was running CE version yesterday. All of the 0s alerts and events relate to activity since I switched to subscription version.

Adding a application - missing details?
by Brad Bendy 24 Jul '16

24 Jul '16

Hi, We are running unbound as two instances on our servers, one is a auth with a custom backend and one that is just caching. I have made a copy of all the files and updated names accordingly so they are unbound_auth* and unbound_cache*. Ive looked at the instructions on http://www.observium.org/docs/developing/add_app/ and have made all those changes as well. Under the main apps page how do I get a 2nd link to show up for the unbound app metrics im collecting? Ideally id have one that is Unbound-Auth and one that is Unbound-Cache. When I go under the properties for a server and then applications it shows nothing know as the "unbound" namespace is missing and is either unbound_auth or the unbound_cache (or unbound-auth and unbound-cache in those places). Ive looked around in various files and grep'd everywhere that I can think but can't find where this is at. Also I don't see anything in the database, so not sure what im missing. Thanks!

Getting different results for same interface in original port and the billing port sections

Hi there, I am seeing different throughput results for the same port at two different section of the Observium GUI: The Port summary shows that the the throughput we were getting between 08 Jul to 18 Jul was almost ~ 8 Gbps (in each direction. However, the bill says it was ~ 6 Gbps between that period. Not sure, which one is reporting it correctly. I would expect both of them to match exactly. Thanks!

Alert checker sending email notifications every polling round
by Daniel Horth 22 Jul '16

22 Jul '16

Hi all I have an odd alerting issue where I am receiving email alerts about a failed check each time a polling interval passes. Checking the alert_table for the device_id in question I see that it has_alerted = 1 and everything else appears to be in order. Wondering why I am getting repeated alerts, pretty sure with my other alerts I have configured I only get one when the alert triggers and another if the ‘send recovery information” option is checked. Any advice on how to troubleshoot this would be appreciated. I have tried disassociating my email address from the alert and also rebuilt alerts. Thanks

Re: [Observium] Steps to add custom oid

Hi Steve, What do you mean, not getting any data? You said the graphs show up fine? Care to share a screenshot?

A few Q's for the roadmap...IS-IS support, data sources, etc.
by Aaron Finney 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

I know this has been asked/answered, but the whole archives thing...what's the history behind [the lack of] support for IS-IS data in Observium, are there any plans to add it at any point, and would it be of value to anyone else? Even basics like warning on adjacency changes, tracking neighbors over time, etc. would be great...I would personally find it of value for an additional sanity check during maintenances or outages - an ISIS health overview tab for a device with the ISO address/area, participating interfaces, and stats. Generalizing the data pool: any current thoughts around creating an abstraction layer between Observium and its data source? Mysql as the sole backend presents some challenges for us in trying to scale Observium to production. OBQL? :) Sort-of on the tails of that last question, has there been any discussion about adapting Observium to take advantage of network devices which emit metrics using thrift/protobuf? E.g. using some other data pipeline/collection system as a data source...or even doing the collection itself and doing the necessary quantization/processing to produce a useable view. Last one in that train of thought, any thoughts around incorporating additional data collectors other than simple snmp polling (e.g. facebook's udppinger or fbtracert)?

Alert for port-channel summary?
by Laszlo Nemeth 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

Hello, We have Cisco Nexus switches with VPC configuration. On the switches are configured a portchannel (in VPC with 2x10G ethernet) to the same 3. device. The problem is: I would like to create an alert if the traffic to the 3. device more than 8G I have to get an alert. Now because the 2 nexus just show only the own port-channel traffic, if one portchannel traffic on switch#1 is 6G and on the switch#2 is 5G the 8G alert doesn’t work. But because of the redundancy in this case I have to get an alert because the aggregated traffic is 11G (and if one of the 10G goes down this traffic is overloaded). The alert is: Test: ifOutOctets_perc gt 80 Device Match / Entity Match Hostname match *switch* ifAlias match *to 3. device* So it cover the switch#1 and switch#2 and the port-channel interfaces with description “2x10G to 3. device” but this alert check the port-channels like a line not an aggregated traffic. Is there any option to add two device’s interfaces and create an alert for this summary? Or can I create an alert for a port group aggregated traffic? This would be great in this case too. Thanks BR Laszlo

Frequent drop outs from WebUI
by Roland Schwingel 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

Hi... I am running Observium for quite a while now. But there is one thing that bugs me. I first thought this is a bug and would be fixed at some time but I am updating Observium frequently from svn yet with no change. I am frequently dropped out of Observium with an authentication error. I log in (with LDAP authbackend) just fine. But sometimes after 30 minutes, sometimes even after a few seconds I am dropped out of Observium. When I click the "Remember me" (Cookie) button this lasts a little longer. Sometimes I am immediately kicked directly after logging in. This is also logged in Observiums "Authentication log" as "Authentication Failure" in the very same second as the "Logged in" event occured. Is anything known about this? Or is it just a nifty PHP config variable about session handling I forgot to set? Thanks for your help, Roland

JunOS autodiscovery where SNMP is in a routing-instance
by Jason Lixfeld 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

Hi, I’ve been reading up on how to interact with a JunOS device where the SNMP agent is contained in a VRF (Routing Instance). In order to poll it properly, I’m required to use '<Routing_Instance_Name>@commmunity' instead of just ‘community’. I think I’ve covered this off in the config.php by adding the equivalent to the proper array: $config['snmp']['community'] = array(“comm",”MANAGEMENT@comm”); While reading up on the autodiscovery process itself in the documentation, it says: "Devices must return valid, resolvable sysName” When I poll it manually, sysName returns <Routing_Instance_Name>@hostname: SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: MANAGEMENT(a)lab01.juniper Does that mean MANAGEMENT(a)lab01.juniper needs to resolve, or will Observium truncate MANAGEMENT@ when trying to resolve the rest of what is in sysName? Thanks!
