global template settings
by Martijn Fennis 30 May '16

30 May '16

Hi, first time user of observium and i like the info that i can get with it. The documentation is probably behind the "client-area" @ observium.org? I have no idea if it matters whenever i change the type from "server" to "firewall", does it apply other MIB's to the device? I am trying to figure out how i can minimize the amount of polling bandwidth. I see there is a "global-setting" or "device-setting" but how to modify those globally @ template? Regards, Martijn

Citrix ICA and/or RDP Login count
by Richard Wigzell 30 May '16

30 May '16

Hello, this maybe a malformed question but has anyone used Observium to graph Citrix ICA or Remote Desktop logins / session count? I am guessing this could only be done with a WMI query so no? but thought I would ask.

Re: [Observium] can't resolve host, but I can ping it
by Dev 28 May '16

28 May '16

Thanks Adam, that worked. The strange thing is when I run ./discovery.php -h all It enumerates hundreds of network devices by IP that aren’t listed in /etc/hosts, but for some reason it doesn’t populate them all in the web GUI > Devices, so I guess I have to write something that converts all those IP’s to hostnames and adds them all to /etc/hosts, which seems hard. Am I missing something? Does the enterprise version resolve IP’s? Now I have to figure out why it’s not polling the interfaces on the devices it added successfully to create traffic graphs, though I made the crontab entries as specified in the install docs. > Use a hostname. > > The current CE won't allow addition of devices by IP. > >Adam. > >Sent from BlueMail > > > On 26 May 2016, 22:16, at 22:16, Dev <dev(a)logicalwebhost.com> wrote: > ./add_device.php 1.2.3.4 catalyst v1 > > fails with > > Try to add 1.2.3.4: > Could not resolve 1.2.3.4. > Devices failed: 1. > > but ping works > > fping 1.2.3.4 > 1.2.3.4. is alive > > but snmpwalk works like: > > snmpwalk -v 1 -c catalyst 1.2.3.4 > iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0 = STRING: "Cisco IOS Software, Catalyst… > ... > > The web interface add device also fails same way. what am I missing?

Discards reporting incorectly
by Andy Lemin 27 May '16

27 May '16

Hi, We have noticed an interesting problem where on all of our OpenBSD firewalls, every single interface on the same firewall reports the same discards rate. We would like to try and work out which interface these discards are actually happening on, so we can work out what the cause is and check for a possible remedy (wrong VLANs being trunked through for example). If they are bad checksums, than that's ok. But would like to know ;) Below is a screenshot showing the "Errors" graphs for all ports on the same server, notice how they are all displaying the same data. My thoughts of how to start are; What is the SNMP OID being polled for this information? I wonder if OpenBSD is incorrectly reporting the same value on all interfaces, or if there is only a single Discards counter/OID for the whole system, or if it is an Observium problem etc.. So if anyone can tell me the OID, I can do some more investigation first ;) I don't mind setting up OID mappings in SNMPD etc, if that is required I would be happy to provide a configuration template for Observium and OpenBSD. And I also wonder how up to date the OpenBSD MIB file built into Observium is? Thanks in advance for your help :) Kind regards, Andy.

Graph error on ipv6 host
by Anders Alavik 26 May '16

26 May '16

HI! I added 2 new routers direct with ipv6 direct in cli. Every thing works nice exept the aggregated graphs were the 2 new routers are a part. My guess is that its the name’s on the routers thats are the problem. they are just named as the ipv6 address.

Missing BGP Peers
by Duncan Mossop 25 May '16

25 May '16

Afternoon, Before I open a ticket with JTAC, I have a Juniper MX router that currently displays no BGP peer data (it used to once upon a time). I ran ./poller.php -h <device_id> -m bgp-peers –d against it and got the attached output. I also get the below every day or so: [cid:image001.png@01D1B683.F2B58B50] I could be wrong but from that log file it looks like the snmpwalk is returning data from the device? Could someone run their eyes over the log and see if they agree and if so where do I need to look next in order to resolve this issue?

Alert Checker options
by Lyndon Labuschagne 25 May '16

25 May '16

Hi All Is there a way of removing a subset of device names from the alert checker configs, i.e. !somename.* * or NOT EQUAL somename.* * or similar so if there are devices that I want to graph, but dont care if they are up or down. Which brings me to another point I guess, is there a way of not showing certain things on the dashboard or diminishing the value / time of a notified device, I dont need to know about a rebooted device for 24 hours, also is there are 2 or 3 errors on an interface I may not need to know about them, and as per above I may only want to graph traffic on a device if it is up, and dont need to know if it isnt up

Disable re-alert interval

Hello, Observium re-alerts on a configurable interval with the "$config['alerts']['interval']" setting. We don't want any re-alerts. Is there a way to disable the re-alerts entirely? Setting it to 0 would be a good idea to implement this. Regards, Siegfried

Alert Dependencies
by Spencer Ryan 21 May '16

21 May '16

I've asked about this before but how hard would it be for you guys to implement alert dependencies? The easiest way I can think of doing it would be to simply let us set a "parent" device for anything, and if that device is offline don't send any alerts for downstream devices. For example we have a testlab that has no UPS/Generator power that we monitor about 200 devices, when the building loses power we get those 200 alarms about devices being offline, when in reality there is a single 6500 as the gateway, and if that switch is offline, i know the rest will be. We don't want to disable the offline alarms because we do want to know when individual devices drop out.
