I created a dev instance (CE: 0.16.1.7533 ) to investigate the wmi / win2k8 unknown processor issue. This correctly shows the processor but doesn't auto login with " AuthBasicFake guest guest" in the apache conf like the production one does. to setup : cp config.php.default config.php sed -i -e s:USERNAME:observium: -e s:PASSWORD:xxxxx: -e 's:"public":"xxxxxxxxx", "public":' config.php (added fping location and proxy info to config.php) ./discovery.php -u ./adduser.php admin xxxx 10 ./adduser.php guest guest 5 ./add_device.php $HOSTNAME going to https://observium.dev.gov.au, i can login as either guest or admin and see everything correctly. I added "AuthBasicFake guest guest" to the apache config and restarted apache. but it won't login automagically. I edited html/index.php and added the following at line 97 print_vars($_SERVER); this shows me that "AuthBasicFake" is working PHP_AUTH_USER=>guest PHP_AUTH_PW=>guest is there a step that i missed ??? thanks Peter Hine Senior Technical Support Engineer (Servers) FCoA ITS peter.hine(a)familycourt.gov.au ********************************************************************** The information contained in this e-mail (including any attachments) is for the exclusive use of the addressee.

Hi, I manually config geolocation as below details. // Geocoding Setting $config['geocoding']['enable'] = TRUE; // Enable Geocoding $config['geocoding']['api'] = 'google'; // Which GEO API use ('mapquest', 'google', 'yahoo', 'openstreetmap', 'yandex') $config['geocoding']['api_key'] = 'sjfasdjhfdsjlkfjsdjfaldj'; // API KEY if required $config['geocoding']['default']['lat'] = '13.0731060'; // Default latitude $config['geocoding']['default']['lon'] = '80.1937312'; // Default longitude Why it wont follow my manual configuration in config.php?All my devices are all over the world.

problem with overall traffic view
by emilio brambilla 20 Apr '16

20 Apr '16

hello, I found a little problem (maybe not a bug, but I think is not so good). if I use "overall_traffic" aggregation (ie for peering) observium make a graph with stacking the traffic from all the ports with a description starting with a label (ie "peering:"), and it works ok. but if I modify a port (ie dismiss a peering, removing also the "peering:" label from the router interface) observium remove all the pregress traffic the old interface did from the 'peering' graph, so you lose part of the old stats :-( isn't it possible to have the overall_traffic collected in a dedicated rrd, use the sum of labelled interfaces for new data and use the rrd data for the old data in order to have a real historic data even if I change a port? thanks -- bye, emilio

Printer toner alert
by Attila Nagy 19 Apr '16

19 Apr '16

Hi All! I'm fairly new with the alerts, so don't hit me too hard. :) I'm trying to create an alert checker for some printers, it should send an alert when the toner level is below 5%. The associations seem OK, at least my Device Match rule "|type equals printer|" (with an "*" entity match) yields all the printers in Observium. But the condition rule seems suspect to me. Based on the documentation and the examples I wrote: |"supply_value lt 5%" |but it shows everything OK on all printers, despite of having at least 3 printers with 1% toner cartridge. Could you help me, what am I doing wrong, or what's missing? Btw: I'm using the latest CE version. Should I include some more information? Regards, Tylla

Customizing Recent Events

Dear all, I’d like to put a filter on “Recent Events” section of the dashboard, but I could not find any information regarding that. Now the section is too chatty, for example I see lots of these messages: Et140/1/48 Interface changed: [ifDuplex] '' -> ‘unknown’ or Et141/1/39 Interface changed: [ifDuplex] '' -> 'fullDuplex' But what I’d like to see is when an interface goes up and down, and hide not important messages if possible.

Re: [Observium] Unix-Agent Not Working

Hi Ron Thanks for the reply however the - was meant to be the _ (was going by memory when i wrote yhe email) and went through those instructions a number of times. When I tried to execute ./bind locally all but blank... Telnetung the server on the port returns alot of data however I could not see anything bind related however not 100% on what it'd going to display. Sent from my Samsung GALAXY S4 on the Telstra mobile network -------- Original message -------- From: Ron Marosko <ron(a)rjr-services.com> Date: 15/04/2016 9:04 pm (GMT+10:00) To: 'Observium Network Observation System' <observium(a)observium.org> Subject: Re: [Observium] Unix-Agent Not Working You should have been following the instructions located here: http://observium.org/docs/unix_agent/ Those are the instructions I follow, and have the unix agent working quite wonderfully. Based on what you described, “placing the Observium-agent and bind application in /usr/lib/Observium-agent/local” it would seem you didn’t follow the correct installation document, as “observium_agent” is to be installed in /usr/bin. You also don’t indicate whether you did the appropriate components with xinetd, that would similarly cause issues. Finally, inside the device properties on your observium server, you need to indicate the telnet port (36602) on the appropriate agent page, as well as enable the unix_agent function on the modules page. It’s really a much better idea to enable that only on a device-by-device basis as opposed to global enablement in the config.php file. Also, it’s worth changing directly to the /usr/lib/observium_agent/local directory and executing each script manually, this will determine if all the dependencies for each script are actually installed. For example, I use the ntpd monitoring script on my servers, and I don’t always have php installed on every server… so when I run the ./ntpd script, it kicks out an error that php isn’t installed. Duh, “apt-get php5-cli”, then I run the ntpd script again, and now I have valid data. I personally use nsd and unbound for authoritative and client lookups respectively instead of bind, so don’t have any experience with that bind script specifically. Maybe also try some of the other information gathering modules (dpkg, hddtemp, raspberrypi, etc., as appropriate) and see if those are also gathering information and being displayed on the server information page. …Ron From: observium [mailto:observium-bounces@observium.org] On Behalf Of Cameron Murray Sent: Thursday, April 14, 2016 11:29 PM To: Observium Network Observation System Subject: [Observium] Unix-Agent Not Working Guys, We’ve installed the Unix-Agent today on a DNS server in the hope of have Observium monitor bind.

(Not)Ignored Ports
by Robert Williams 14 Apr '16

14 Apr '16

Hi, It looks like ignored ports are suddenly being included in the 'Device Status Notifications' for Errors. We have quite a few devices which have 'expected' errors (half-duplex IP-PDUs etc.) so are now being spammed with error'ed ports: They _do_ disappear if I select the device itself to be ignored, but they used to be silenced just by setting the 'Alerts' column to 'No'. Is this an error - or is there now an intentional new variable which I need to set in config.php to ignore them? Cheers guys!

Cisco Wireless Controller separate graphs for individual SSID's
by Gumilar Siegfried 14 Apr '16

14 Apr '16

Hi guys, I am using the professional edition of Observium. Everything works fine but I'm stuck at a certain point. Let me explain more exactly. We added a Cisco Wireless Controller (AIR-CT5508-K9) to observium. On this Cisco device there are some SSID's. So in Observium you can see under Cisco WC - Graphs - Wireless ONE GRAPH for the wireless clients traffic (for all SSID's). Is there a way to display the traffic graph separately for individual SSID's? The Wireless Controller delivers the OID's for the SSID's, but the question is how to implement them. Siegfried

Hi, Processing "svn update" returns: [root@rphuvobservium observium]# svn update Updating '.': At revision 7748. [root@rphuvobservium observium]# pwd /opt/observium discovery.php -u returns: [root@rphuvobservium observium]# ./discovery.php -u ___ _ _ / _ \ | |__ ___ ___ _ __ __ __(_) _ _ _ __ ___ | | | || '_ \ / __| / _ \| '__|\ \ / /| || | | || '_ ` _ \ | |_| || |_) |\__ \| __/| | \ V / | || |_| || | | | | | \___/ |_.__/ |___/ \___||_| \_/ |_| \__,_||_| |_| |_| Observium Professional 0.16.3.7703 http://www.observium.org -- Database is up to date. As you can see this version does not match the version that was just upgraded to. Also, at the webui the version still shows 0.16.3.7703 (stable). The system has even been rebooted since the upgrade to 7748. Is this normal behavior or are we missing something? -- *Jason Macklin* Lead Consultant - Sequencing Solution Center R&D Roche Molecular Systems | 4300 Hacienda Drive | Pleasanton, CA 94588 | USA T: +1 925 730 8458 | M: +1 925 353 7409 | E: *jason.macklin(a)roche.com <jason.macklin(a)roche.com>*

Monitor IPMI availability
by Vanya Golomehova 13 Apr '16

13 Apr '16

Hello! I'm wondering if there is a way to monitor the presence / availability of the IPMI module in Observium. Most if the servers are SuperMicro. I'm able to poll temperatures, fan speed and etc. through IPMI, but is there a way to receive an alert when IPMI module is not reachable (client often remove the cable to the interface by mistake, or some network issue) the same as I receive alerts for server down, port down. If there is no way, I will appreciate if someone suggest a workaround... -- Regards, Vanya Golomehova Technical support engineer at Extreme Broadband Services
