Ignore device for alerting and notifications for a timeperiod
by Jesper Grahn 28 Jun '16

28 Jun '16

Hi, is it possible to activate "Ignore device for alerting and notifications." until a specified time/date? I have tried to activate "Ignore device for alerting and notifications." under "Device settings" and set at time in "Alerts" but that didn't work. The purpose is to disable notifications when we do planned work. /Jesper Grahn

Broken Telegram message

28 Jun '16

Hi, Since last svn update, I'm receiving the messages in telegram like this: "ALERT : Flap in bgp Device: my-router-name {{#ENTITY_NAME}} Entity: ASxxxxx 177.x.x.x {{/ENTITY_NAME}} {{#SYSLOG_MESSAGE}} Message: {{/SYSLOG_MESSAGE}} Device Uptime: 11 days, 15h 53m 21s More information: http://observium.mydomain.net/device/device=23/tab=alert/alert_entry=9774/" Something is broken? In time: when I received the same message by e-mail, when is a bgp alert, can you include the AS name? Thanks. -- Eduardo Schoedler

Hi All, I’m just trying to work out how i monitor the mounted nfs drives i have on a server? ive disabled $config['ignore_mount_network’] but still nothing? can this actually be done? i only want to see the folders that are mounted as a storage drive in observium and see the percentage thats being used i would just monitor our NAS drive directly but sadly the NAS storage drive is very old and doesn’t support SNMP but we are looking at a new one with SNMP support :) regards Simon - Hestor Ltd

Billing fails on specific interfaces
by Jesper Frank Nemholt 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '16

Hi! I was testing billing and with certain interfaces it reports no data, despite the graphs clearly showing data. My thought is that it may relate to the interface name as it works well with other products and interface names. The "special" think is that the interface name has a colon in it. Have anyone seen this before ? See output : Bill : Test bill Polling nac-vv01-01:e1b on nac-vv01.xyz.com time: 1466805074|0 period:1466805074 No data. Polling nac-vv01-01:a0a on nac-vv01.xyz.com time: 1466805074|0 period:1466805074 No data. Polling nac-vv01-02:a0a on nac-vv01.xyz.com time: 1466805074|0 period:1466805074 No data.

Linux Firewall/Conntrack stats
by Attila Nagy 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '16

Hi guys, I wanted to see some firewall statistics (more exactly connection tracking statistics) of some of our Linux servers, but I couldn't find anything alike in Observium. Am I too lame, or is this a non-existing feature? If it is non-existing then could you tell me whether the future plans do involve this? Thanks, Tylla

Debuging slow SNMP-queries
by Markus Klock 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '16

Hey guys, I noticed I have some devices in my network that are responding very slow on just some specific SNMP-queries so I hacked together a small script that will parse the debug-output of Observium poller or discovery and then show you a list of the snmp-commands that took the longest to complete. I wrote a blogpost on how to use it here: http://blog.best-practice.se/2016/06/observium-performance-tuning.html and you can download the script from github: https://github.com/ZerxXxes/observium-logparser [image: Infogad bild 1] It was very helpful in finding what devices needed a software update ;) I hope it can be useful for others too /Markus

Re: [Observium] observium Digest, Vol 71, Issue 24
by Dudu Handelman 27 Jun '16

You should monitor your Dell server using snmp on the idrac itself like its a different device. The most important thing is the global status It will display in alert in the statuses front page. The global status is the color of the led when it's amber you have an issue. Now you will be able to see that in observium as well. Good luck.

SNMP just sometimes has a hickup. Although usually I don’t have these, but in order to prevent panic/heart attacks, I did introduce that 1 time delay on my device down alerts. Haven you applied alert checkers on port-errors all around your network as well? CRC/port errors, and things like these you might want to fix first before you actually get in to device down alerting. Just a simple "ifInErrors_rate gt 0 & ifOutErrors_rate gt 0 on ifType equals ethernetCsmacd” alert-check will give you all these ports. you’d be surprised how much stuff is wrong in an average network. Also certainly check the port to which your observium machine is connected to, and make sure to monitor your observium machine as well, make sure your machine is well specced out. In addition to this, I’ve configured IP SLA on all our core routers to see/verify that latency on our links is within the SLA parameters of our suppliers. Do this before you check on devices down.

Re: [Observium] Delay the alert trigger in case of loss only one ping
by ron＠rjr-services.com 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '16

I'll echo this sentiment. We were seeing a large number of false positives because of lack of SNMP response from some devices even though they were responding to pings without problem. Setting a delay of 1 reduced the number of alerts we were seeing substantially. We do still get a couple devices that will fail both checks, usually right after the discovery run, and we'll get an alarm on that, but it clears itself next poll. Damn Cat6509s and Nexus 1000Vs. ;-) Sent from my Verizon 4G LTE smartphone -------- Original message -------- From: "Moerman, Maarten" <mmoerman(a)ebay.com> Date: 6/27/16 4:39 AM (GMT-06:00) To: Observium Network Observation System <observium(a)observium.org> Subject: Re: [Observium] Delay the alert trigger in case of loss only one ping -- This message has been scanned by E.F.A.

Which are the points I might have done wrong in the checklist? Which other points not in the checklist should I look at? Thx for your help Bernard

Delay the alert trigger in case of loss only one ping
by prost pierrick 23 Jun '16

23 Jun '16

Hi everyone , Observium lost 1 ping sometime (I don't know why ) after each ping lost, alerts are triggered. Actually I have only two Alerts Checks : Device Down device_status equals 0 * * Device UP device_status equals 1 * * It's possible to add a delay before triggering ? Like waiting 5 ping lost before triggering ? Regards. Pierrick Prost

CBQoS Aggregation Graph
by David Ron 22 Jun '16

22 Jun '16

Dear All, I remember there was a thread regarding this matter, but I couldn't get into the observium archive to read the whole thread. To make a long story short, I'm looking for a way to aggregate a class-map that is configured on several interfaces on one graphs, like, one graph for Bronze, one graph for Silver and one graph for Gold that summarize the CBQoS graphs for 8 different interfaces. is it possible?

CAS authentication
by Josep Manel Andrés 21 Jun '16

Hi all, I've seen that CAS authentication is already integrated, but I've found no documentation. I've tried to set: vi /opt/observium/config.php // Authentication Model $config['auth_mechanism'] = 'cas'; $config['auth_cas_host'] = 'cas02.domain.es'; $config['auth_cas_port'] = '443'; $config['auth_cas_context'] = 'cas'; $config['auth_cas_ca_cert'] = '/etc/tls/cacert/DigiCertCA'; //$config['auth_mechanism'] = "http-auth"; //$config['http_auth_guest'] = "admin"; but it didn't work, I get "Error: Internal script failure" which comes from phpcas. I've installed the latest version of phpcas from the original source.

Netonix Support
by Robbie Wright 21 Jun '16

Adam, it looks like you weighed in a little bit with the Netonix guys a year and a half ago about getting support for their switches in. They've got their own enterprise number now and many others are having great success using it. Any thoughts and getting full support in (the paid for version of) Observium? I can get use SNMP access to a test device if you'd like. http://forum.netonix.com/viewtopic.php?p=2072#p2072 Robbie Wright Siuslaw Broadband <https://siuslawbroadband.com> 541-902-5101
