Juniper logical interface confuse
by Eduardo Schoedler 18 May '16

18 May '16

I think Observium is confusing interfaces. Just now I reactivated a logical unit in juniper (xe-0/0/1.1698) and Observium thinks is ae0.3550. In event log: 2016-05-17 19:36:27 ae0.3550 IP address added: 2804:x:x:x:x:x:x:x/126 2016-05-17 19:36:27 ae0.3550 IP address added: 177.x.x.x/30 2016-05-17 19:36:24 ae0.3550 Interface DELETED mark removed [image: Imagem inline 1] In Juniper: login@rtr> show interfaces snmp-index 544 *Logical interface xe-0/0/1.1698 *(Index 332) (*SNMP ifIndex 544*) Description: VLAN-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Flags: Up SNMP-Traps 0x0 VLAN-Tag [ 0x8100.1698 ] Encapsulation: ENET2 Input packets : 490 Output packets: 4075 Protocol inet, MTU: 1500 Flags: Sendbcast-pkt-to-re, User-MTU, Sample-input Addresses, Flags: Is-Preferred Is-Primary Destination: 177.x.x.x/30, Local: 177.x.x.x, Broadcast: 177.x.x.x Protocol inet6, MTU: 1500 Flags: User-MTU, Sample-input Addresses, Flags: Is-Preferred Is-Primary Destination: 2804:x:x:x:x:x:x:x/126, Local: 2804:x:x:x:x:x:x:x I will send in private the discovery to Mike and Adam.

18 May '16

Hello Team, We just moved from Extreme to Brocade and found out that Observium does not detect properly the VDX Switch stack. It just has the logo with a "?". Any ideas if the VDX line from brocade will be add it to the Professional Version?

DPKG version listing order
by Alex Winder ( M5i Limited ) 17 May '16

17 May '16

Hi all, We've recently added the DPKG agent to some of our Debian hosts so that we can keep on top of what's up-to-date and what isn't. So far it's been quite helpful, except I have one small niggle with it, the way that it lists the version orders of the packages. See below: The nginx version on the above are listed in the order of: 1.8.0 1.8.1 1.9.11 1.9.12 1.9.14 1.9.15 1.9.5 1.9.9 Where if they were listed in version order they would be listed: 1.8.0 1.8.1 1.9.5 1.9.9 1.9.11 1.9.12 1.9.14 1.9.15 Is there anyway that this can be worked around, or is there any plan to implement a fix? Thanks, Alex.

Thank you all for the replies and screenshots; they have been most helpful. I have one more question regarding the custom OID monitor, has anyone used this to capture BPDU counters? Specific use case: We cannot currently send syslog messages from all our network devices to the Observium host and would be looking to use BPDU counters as an indication that a spanning-tree event had occurred. I would also be interested to hear what others have done regarding spanning-tree alerts etc. Regards [cid:image001.jpg@01CE9215.D39244B0]<https://www.it.ox.ac.uk/> Richard Wigzell Networks, Security and Server Specialist IT Services | University of Oxford 13 Banbury Road, Oxford OX2 6NN T: 01865 616282 www.it.ox.ac.uk<https://www.it.ox.ac.uk/> From: observium [mailto:observium-bounces@observium.org] On Behalf Of Moerman, Maarten Sent: 13 May 2016 14:29 To: Observium Network Observation System Subject: Re: [Observium] Citrix Netscaler vServer Hi, See a LB vserver pool, and the vserver stats below: Vserver lists all services, and aggregated stats of the pool itself Service has: bits, packets, connections, requests, ttfb & surgecount There’s also more tcp stuff & ssl stuff in other tabs Maarten From: observium <observium-bounces(a)observium.org<mailto:observium-bounces@observium.org>> on behalf of Adam Armstrong <adama(a)memetic.org<mailto:adama@memetic.org>> Reply-To: Observium Network Observation System <observium(a)observium.org<mailto:observium@observium.org>> Date: Friday, May 13, 2016 at 1:39 PM To: Observium Network Observation System <observium(a)observium.org<mailto:observium@observium.org>> Subject: Re: [Observium] Citrix Netscaler vServer Hi, We don't really have a trial beyond CE (which effectively is the trial), but if you guys have Netscalers, the 150 quid is certainly super cheap for the amount of data we collect from them.

VMware polling broken?
by Ron Marosko 15 May '16

15 May '16

Hi guys, I think something got broken in polling of ESXI servers… not sure where exactly, but on or about 4 May, the “Operating System” section changed from the full build information to “Operating system VMware (build-)”. In “showtech” it looks like it’s this line: features=>build- Or am I smoking a green leafy substance? ….Ron -- This message has been scanned by E.F.A. Project and is believed to be clean.

Alert on high availability status change on Checkpoint
by Robin Cook 13 May '16

13 May '16

Hello, We have a few checkpoint firewalls and I am looking to generate email alerts when the HA status changes from OK to critical. The Observium logs look a bit like this when it occurs: 2016-05-12 16:58:30 High Availability (standby) Status Alert: cpnew02 High Availability (standby) entered ALERT state: CRITICAL (previous: OK) 2016-05-12 16:58:28 cpfw04 Features -> ClusterXL inactive or machine is down 2016-05-11 10:30:04 High Availability (standby) Status updated: checkpoint-ha-state haStatCode.0 High Availability (standby) 2016-05-11 10:28:03 High Availability (standby) Status Ok: cpnew02 High Availability (down) entered OK state: OK (previous: CRITICAL) Does anyone have any advice on how to build the alert checker for this? The high Availability icon looks to be a traffic lights one while the devices themselves show as the normal device icon - so I think they may be discovered as separate entities. I am also a bit unsure on how to filter to the OS "Check Point GAiA R77.45 (standby)" so for now have just been using device type firewall.

Unhide the hidden showtech tab
by Andy Lemin 13 May '16

13 May '16

Hi, Does anyone know how to unhide the "showtech" tab for all the devices? For example, go to somewhere like; https://observium/device/device=17/tab=ports/ And change the "ports" for "showtech". http://observium/device/device=<device_id>/tab=showtech/ This page is useful, and would be nice to have the button on the device page instead of having to remember a URL hack, when debugging missing data or problems monitoring devices etc (esp when using rancid and smokeping like we do). Hoping their is a secret config.php switch :) Thanks, Andy.

Hi, Thanks for all your answers. However I didn’t get it to work. [cid:image001.png@01D1AC9A.71C211A0] [cid:image002.png@01D1AC9A.71C211A0] It doesn’t seem to pick it up.

Disk size alert Windows
by Epco Dijk 12 May '16

12 May '16

Hi all, I really struggle to get a proper alert on a Windows C: drive size. Checker is as follows (can also be found in attachment): Storage_perc greater 50 Hostname match ampere* Entity * Only if I fill it in as above at least the checker is added. As soon as I change entity to storage_type equals hrStorageFixedDisk like written in manuals it doesn't even add the check after the rebuild option. I have run ./poller.php -h ampere.companyname.pvt -dd with attached result. As you can see the C:\ drive is filled more than 50% so I would expect an alert. Who can help me with this? Thanks in advance.

Observium and Slack
by Andy Lemin 12 May '16

12 May '16

Hi guys, Has anyone gotten Slack Alert notifications working? We have email alerts working but not Slack. NB; Running the commercial version (0.16.2.7629). We have a webhook URL for a private slack channel https://hooks.slack.com/services/xxxxxxxxx/yyyyyyyy/zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (x, y and z replaced for public viewing) I tried the custom webhook "Contact", however we don't know how to transpose our slack webhook into the fields provided (URL, Authentication token, Sender of message). There is no Authentication, and their is no Sender (the sender is defined by the webhook on the Slack side). But only filling in the URL field with the webhook doesn't work :( Doing a "curl" test on the Observium server terminal with the webhook works fine? Have also tried creating the new slack "Contact", But I have no idea how I'm supposed to transpose this webhook into the fields provided; (Channel name, Username, Instance URL). Assume this only works for public channels where you enter in user details for Observium instead of using a webhook. Generally not sure how to debug this. Noobie.. Thanks, Andy.

Hi Adam, Thanks for the assist :-(. I really can't find the place to delete the blank user in the traffic accounting search, nor can't find the place to alter this. It seems to me that this is an issue in the stable version (build 0.16.5.7833), because the 'All Types' filter is working correctly, but the User dropbox is empty and selects an non existing blank user (deselecting the blank user solves the problem).

If I test the webhook with 'Curl' (as image below) it works fine and the test message appears in Slack (and on my mobile ;) But as you can see in my test below, I setup the contact the same as you, added an Alert checker, and then triggered some alerts.

syslog stops working

Hi, we have syslog-ng configured and went through the documentation about how to get syslog into Observium. It works for a while(from 10mins to several hours) and then it stops to display or handle syslog. Restarting the syslog daemon generates a strange message in the logs. -0001-11-30 00:00:00 Alert (1) 1 : 1 It's very low volume. Maybe 100-1000 messages per day.

Re: [Observium] Could not resolve
by Claudionei Mendes 10 May '16

Your thoughts for Big Company and Big ISPs are small. Nobody wants to add thirty thousand devices in a hostname list, or with an nonsense script. They will choose a system that will be allowed to add devices by a subnet or network. That it means IP Address. Not hostname. We are not talking about servers hostnames, that are static, and won't change, even if the room is burned and the building is down. We are not talking about a BGP Router, or a Main router, that are always and forever there, if possible. We are talking about thousand of devices that are changing, at least, once a day. Ron, An DNS fail, doesn't mean I have one DNS server. With all your expertise, you should see other possibilities, other scenarios. Come on. It simply doesn't make sense to have a system that allow you to add a Device by IP address when it wants and later, it's not possible anymore. But you can try tomorrow, because tomorrow the system will accept the IP address. This is a bug for me. Joseph, The system works with IP Address. Whats is the diference to have an option to add devices by IP Address? Not even an option, because it already works, but just sometimes, if you are lucky. Another point, Sure I can make a script, but we are not talking about an expert user to be using the system. Can't this scenario be thought? We have "normal" people operating the system too. How do you think they will reach the Knowledge for this? They not even have access to the system console. You are closing your mind to main possibilities. I am talking about adding 3000 devices in a system, where these devices, does not need a hostname, it simply needs an IP address for eventual access. Because if we have a hostname like juliocesar.company.com, tomorrow, this device will be deactivated and activated for another customer with another name but the same IP address, and it's an infinite routine, because customers are not eternal, and IP addresses are not infinite. Can you imagine an system where we need advanced user only to use? Do you think Microsoft and Apple would be where they are with a software where only advanced user are able to use? Adam, What is an important device to you? Do you think that a customer side device isn't important to be monitored? How many devices have you ever seen in a network? Have you worked in an ISP? Do you have an Idea of what is to manage device hostnames for, until now, 7 cities?
