Poller Overruns
by Gagandeep Mann 03 May '16

03 May '16

Hi We are currently running OBSERVIUM Professional Ed with 31 Cisco 7600/3560/2960 polling around 5000+ ports. The Traffic graphs are showing gaps as the poller seems to be taking a lot of time. We have tried different values for the poller wrapper threads (16, 32, 48, 64) on a 16 core/64GB RAM machine but not seen any improvement. We have also tried different values for the 'ma-rep' field for snmp bulkwalk (5, 10 etc) - had seen improvement initially after enabling with 5, but the polling times seem to have increased automatically after some time. We are currently running with 64 Poller threads and max-rep 10. Pls suggest if we are missing something. A few screen-shots are attached.

BGP modul question
by Laszlo Nemeth 02 May '16

02 May '16

Hello We use the PE 7703 version and we would like to use the BGP modul for our Cisco ASR 9001 router. On the Observium / Routing tab we see the OSPF connections but there is no BGP section. We hard-enabled the BGP in the config.php ($config['enable_bgp'] = 1;) but it doesn’t help. All of BGP related mysql tables are empty. What we did wrong? :) Thanks Laszlo

Alerts and Ports
by Josh Hopper 29 Apr '16

29 Apr '16

I managed to get alerts working and its great. I did have a few questions though. Ideally, I'd like it if there were nothing in red on the dashboard (as if there are issues). [image: Inline image 1] Observium says I have a port down and 1 alert failed. However, all alerts are either OK or suppressed. Ports are either on and in use or disabled. There is nothing that shows in those lists. [image: Inline image 2] [image: Inline image 3] Any reason why it says that something is down? Also, I have a unit that does not have 2 out of 4 PSUs and fans. Show's that they are down. [image: Inline image 4] I have suppressed the alerts. Is there a way to get it to ignore just what is currently down without ignoring the whole device? Your help is appreciated. Thanks. -- JOSHUA HOPPER NETWORK ENGINEER 1-828-558-1403 Joshua.Hopper(a)broadplex.net www.broadplex.net

Hi, Since our midnight svn up / rediscover, it appears that every port graph has moved the "Unicast Packets Out" data into the "Errors TX" graph?!

Help with LDAP Authentication

Hello all, We're trying to move our Observium Installation from Radius Authentication to LDAP Authentication.

Hi all. After upgrading Observium to the latest CE, the frontpage show 0 ports Total/Up/Down: [image: Inline image 1] I have all ports set with polling = yes and alert = no. Any reason Total/Up/down is no longer showing anything else than 0? Any ideas on how to fix it? -- Gard -- No trees were killed in the sending of this message.

mounting a new filesystem
by Ross [Eve IT] 23 Apr '16

23 Apr '16

Hi all, Apologies if this has been asked before, or I've missed it in the list; I recently added a new drive to a server, and mounted the new drive to a directory. Edited output. root@tethys:~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on rootfs 85G 2.4G 79G 3% / /dev/sdb1 148G 2.8G 138G 2% /netflow As you can see in the screenshot below, it shows the root directory ~2.5GB, but not the /netflow dir which is at 2.8GB. [image: Inline image 1] Am I missing something here ? I assume I should be seeing 2 lines, 1 for / and 1 for /netflow as they are different disks. Or if this graph is supposed to represent / in total, it should be over 5GB.. Thanks for your time :) Ross.

Alert Conditions - Check Conditions
by Dave Strydom 23 Apr '16

23 Apr '16

Hi, I'm trying to setup an Alert for monitoring Fortigate Sessions. For testing I have a Check Condition of "fortigate_sessions gt 100" The issue I am finding is that the check is matching again percentage and not value. The fortigate has 200 sessions currently, so it should trigger the alert, but it doesn't because it seems to be monitoring percentage and the percentage is constantly 100% How do I check against the value of 200 instead of percentage? Regards, Dave

This is on a CentOS 7 with Qemu : ##### *Module Start: **virtual-machines* ##### Virtual machines: Libvirt VM: Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password). Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password). I have configured the following in config.php : $config['enable_libvirt'] = 1; # Enable Libvirt VM support $config['libvirt_protocols'] = array("qemu+ssh","xen+ssh"); # Mechanisms used, add or remove if not using this on any of your machines. What else is needed ? I assume either username/password or key based access, but does this have to be set for the user running the observium poller/discovery or elsewhere ? /Jesper
