Hi, I have added some custom probes in the "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins” but I can’t get them to show up in the WebUI. I have done some googling to find if there is a config option that I need to add but so far I have failed. Can someone please point me in the right direction for this ? Thanks !

Alerting if LAG member drops?
by Bryan Fields 22 Mar '23

22 Mar '23

I'm looking at an easy way to send an alert if a LAG member drops. Running subscription Observium 22.12.12421 and talking a Juniper EX4500 switch. My thought was to have a global check that looked for ifType = ieee8023adLag and then if there was some way members changed, but I don't see a way to detect/check for this. I don't think Observium has any graphing on the LAG port members state. BTW, this would be a great thing to add to have viability into LAG members at the ae level. Perhaps checking if ifHighSpeed goes down? Other than putting up check on the underlying interfaces manually, does anyone have an idea on this? Thanks, -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net

Windows OS upgrade / broke connection
by McGranahan, Jamen (VU) 13 Mar '23

13 Mar '23

Good morning, We have 2 Windows servers that we upgraded from Windows 2012 to Windows 2019. Originally, I had both connected to Observium and was monitoring them, but since the upgrade, Observium is unable to connect to them and I do not know why. On the first one, I even removed it entirely from Observium but now cannot even re-add it. SNMP is running on both systems and settings are the same as what is on another Windows 2019 server that is working correctly, so I am really confused. Ideas or suggestions are welcome! (we're running Observium 23.2.12520 on a Centos 7 system, using the Observium Professional license) [Vanderbilt] Jamen McGranahan Associate Director of Library Technology & Digital Services, Vanderbilt Library Vanderbilt University 615.343.1614 | jamen.mcgranahan(a)vanderbilt.edu<mailto:jamen.mcgranahan@vanderbilt.edu> | https://www.library.vanderbilt.edu/ Central Library, 419 21st Avenue South Nashville, TN 37203 Pronouns: he/him/his [cid:image002.png@01D95589.085048A0]

Observium stopped firing alerts to contacts
by Andrew Caplice 07 Mar '23

07 Mar '23

Hi all, I am having an issues where suddenly observium has stopped sending alerts to contacts. I have had PagerDuty up and running for almost a year and suddenly today we had a device go down and pager duty didn’t fire an alarm. As you can see below the device alarmed but there is not alert send message or the recovery. [cid:image007.png@01D94138.0CF0EC30] I have the device grouped in a group aptly named Access Switch. The alarm is configured as follows: [cid:image008.png@01D94138.67223790] I also have the pagerduty contact configured for this service. I have blanked the api key for security reasons. [cid:image009.png@01D94138.E250F230] Is there a process that handles contacts the needs to be restarted or am I missing something. No changes to my knowledge have been made to the configuration. As I stated earlier this has been working for close to a year. Any help would be appreciated.

Bug report: multiple devices API call breaks when filtering fields
by Corwin Ziegler Hunts 01 Mar '23

01 Mar '23

The multiple devices API call combined with field filtering fails for us in the latest stable release, revision 12520 from 2023-02-08. The API call responds with an HTTP 200 but the data contained in the response is incomplete. It worked when we were on revision 12342 from 2022-10-24. It still works if no filtering is requested. After experimenting further and looking at the code we found that the multiple devices API call can successfully be combined with filtering only if device_id is one of the requested fields. We suspect this broke in revision 12452. Works: GET /api/v0/devices/?type=firewall GET /api/v0/devices/?type=firewall&fields=status_type,device_id Fails: GET /api/v0/devices/?type=firewall&fields=status_type {"count":2,"status":"ok","devices":{"":{"status_type":"ok"}}} Corwin

Add internal Observium MIBS to Discovery/Poll of a device | Observium Community Edition 23.1.12493
by Alisha Manuela Stutz 28 Feb '23

Hello all, When I do a snmpwalk in the CLI with the following parameters I see everything as it should be. ./snmpwalk -v3 -a SHA -A SHAPASS -x AES-256-C -X AES256PASS -l authPriv -u AUTHPRIVUSER FQDN -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp:/opt/observium/mibs/nokia:/opt/observium/mibs/alcatel:/opt/observium/mibs/alcatel-ent -m TROPIC-SYSTEM-MIB However, Observium only ever sees the following when doing a manual discovery in the CLI, and doesn't take everything into account because I can't specify the mibs and the corresponding mib file. ./discovery.php -h 137 -dd ... ... ##### Starting discovery run at 2023-02-24 13:04:57 ##### SQL[SELECT * FROM `devices` WHERE `disabled` = 0 AND `device_id` = '137' AND `status` = '1' AND `poller_id` = '0' ORDER BY `last_discovered_timetaken` ASC] ROWS[1] SQL RUNTIME[0.00030303s] CMD[/usr/bin/snmpget -v3 -l 'authPriv' -n '' -x 'AES-256-C' -X 'AES256PASS' -a 'SHA' -A 'SHAPASS' -u 'AUTHPRIVUSER' -Pud -OQUsn -m SNMPv2-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp 'udp':'FQDN':'161' .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0 .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0] CMD EXITCODE[0] CMD RUNTIME[0.0559s] STDOUT[ .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0 = .1.3.6.1.4.1.7483.1.3.1.6 .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 = 7:2:50:08.76 ] SNMP STATUS[TRUE] ... ... So I added the following to the observium config file $os = "nokia-xwdm"; $config['os'][$os]['text'] = "Nokia xWDM"; $config['os'][$os]['type'] = "optical"; $config['os'][$os]['vendor'] = "Nokia"; $config['os'][$os]['icon'] = "optical"; $config['os'][$os]['sysObjectID'][] = ".1.3.6.1.4.1.7483.1.3.1.6"; $config['os'][$os]['sysDescr'][] = "/^Nokia 1830 PSS/"; $config['os'][$os]['mibs'][] = "TROPIC-SYSTEM-MIB"; In addition, I have created the following two files, as I understood it in the instructions of Observium. /opt/observium/includes/definitions/os/nokia.inc.php $os = "nokia-xwdm"; $config['os'][$os]['mibs'][] = "TROPIC-SYSTEM-MIB"; /opt/observium/includes/definitions/mibs/nokia.inc.php $mib = 'TROPIC-SYSTEM-MIB'; $config['mibs'][$mib]['enable'] = 1; $config['mibs'][$mib]['mib_dir'] = 'nokia'; $config['mibs'][$mib]['descr'] = 'The system MIB for Nokia network elements.'; Unfortunately this is not successful and I am going in circles, can someone please give me an example how I can do this correctly so that Observium either always considers all MIB files cleanly, or I explicitly respectively from the beginning cleanly correctly discovered without me having to make this assignment for the OS in the Observium configuration file.
