DOM optic sensor graphs always rounded to 0W
by Sandy Breeze 26 Feb '16

26 Feb '16

Hi, Currently running: 0.16.1.7533 (26th January 2016) We’ve noticed the DOM optic power sensor data to be graphed at 0W all the time. Noticing the ‘value’ figure is correct on the optic’s power status page, we subsequently found all data in the RRD to be correct. eg:  <row><v>6.1840000000e-04</v></row>  <row><v>6.1300000000e-04</v></row>  <row><v>6.1435000000e-04</v></row> It just seems the rrdtool graph function is not rendering this sensor data with anything useful. The graph is being generated with something like this: rrdtool graph /tmp/FLjPO7rtfRJQOfGn.png -Y --lower-limit 0 --alt-autoscale-max --start 1456347228 --end 1456433628 --width 1152 --height 300 -c BACK#EEEEEE00 -c SHADEA#EEEEEE00 -c SHADEB#EEEEEE00 -c FONT#000000 -c CANVAS#FFFFFF00 -c GRID#a5a5a5 -c MGRID#FF9999 -c FRAME#5e5e5e -c ARROW#5e5e5e -R normal --font LEGEND:8:'DroidSansMono,DejaVuSansMono' --font AXIS:7:'DroidSansMono,DejaVuSansMono' --font-render-mode normal -E -A COMMENT:' Last Max\n' DEF:sensor=/srv/www/iss/observium/rrd/t40-ar14/sensor-power-cisco-entity-sensor-58513400.rrd:sensor:AVERAGE DEF:sensor_max=/srv/www/iss/observium/rrd/t40-ar14/sensor-power-cisco-entity-sensor-58513400.rrd:sensor:MAX DEF:sensor_min=/srv/www/iss/observium/rrd/t40-ar14/sensor-power-cisco-entity-sensor-58513400.rrd:sensor:MIN AREA:sensor_max#c5c5c5 AREA:sensor_min#ffffffff LINE1.5:sensor#cc0000:'Transceiver Rx Power -' GPRINT:sensor:LAST:%6.2lfW GPRINT:sensor:MAX:%6.2lfW\\l HRULE:0.0009585#999999::dashes Seeing the data collected is in the order of 10^-4 d.p. small, how can we stop this being rounded to 0 all the time on a the graph? I understand completely this is rrdtool not automatically choosing a very good scale for you, but is there any way to detect these low values and fix them up for the graphs by order of 1000 say? Cheers Sandy

Subscription Graphs Issue/API
by Josh Hopper 26 Feb '16

26 Feb '16

Well, my graphs do not work. Trying to figure out where I went wrong so I do not have to reinstall from scratch. Any assistance, is highly appreciated. I see this: [image: Inline image 1] Its the same for every device. I'm on Observium 0.16.2.7629 (stable).

Creating group with ifInOctets_perc
by Louis Bailleul 26 Feb '16

26 Feb '16

Hi, Seems that I can’t create a group that uses ifInOctets_perc for its entity match ? Is this because of a reason/bug or I am doing it stupidly ? My alert checker is working fine and I was able to create a group with ifOperStatus. They are both in the Mettrics category so I expected them to work the same way.

Panasas support
by Louis Bailleul 26 Feb '16

26 Feb '16

Hi, I have a few Panasas devices that (not surprisingly) Observium doesn’t handle very well. It basically only get the uptime out of it. The devices are similar to this : http://www.panasas.com/products/activestor-16-18 I have attached debug discovery, poller and snmpwalk of the top tree and enterprise parts. I also have attached the mibs from the device (retrieved from the device itself) and a logo (retrieved from http://www.panasas.com/news/press-room ) It looks like there is very little in the standard places and every interesting thing has been shoved into the enterprise tree. Do you think it is possible to add support for these devices ?

Filtering ports/devices
by Michael 26 Feb '16

26 Feb '16

Does anybody know of a syntax that will allow multiple matches when filtering on device hostnames? I'm specifically on the all ports page. We've smashed two separate networks together and there are different naming conventions in use. When I want to look at only one side of the network, it would be easy if I could match all devices starting with p, s or m-. The hostname field doesn't seem to accept regex, nor does it accept "or" statements. Is there a solution to this? Cheers, Michael

Alerts based on RRD averages?
by Stephen Fulton 25 Feb '16

25 Feb '16

Hi all, I'm curious if it is possible to create an alert that considers an RRD average? For example, if I want to generate an alert that looks at the average utilization of a port over a 24 hour period, and if the average bit rate or percentage is greater than X, send an alert? I have been working with alerts that trigger based on a percentage, but if the port drops below that mark for even a short period of time (minutes, perhaps even an hour or two), the clock resets. That's proving troublesome. Any suggestions? Thanks, -- Stephen

HP mfp m527 and mfp m577 printers
by Richard Kuhns 25 Feb '16

25 Feb '16

Greetings, We've just purchased both of these printers. I've started monitoring them with Observium, but all I see under Inventory are the printer itself (hrDevicePrinter) and the printer's hard disk (hrDeviceDiskStorage). Have I missed doing something, or are these printers just not supported? This is by no means urgent. I've never tried to monitor a printer before and I just wanted to see what Observium told me about them.

Getting "DB schema not installed, first install it." After CE upgrade
by KA PDE 25 Feb '16

Hi everyone, Today I've upgraded a CE Observium from 0.15.6 to 0.16.1 and it broke. It only shows DB schema not installed.

Possible bug
by Nagy Attila 24 Feb '16

24 Feb '16

Hi all, We are using a customized location rewrite function to split the SNMP location of devices into a human readable and a machine understandable format. We are using the community edition, and on updating to the recent version we were faced with thIS error message: PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare custom_rewrite_location() (previously declared in /opt/observium/config.php:87) in /opt/observium/config.php on line 102 This is a common error when a php file is included/required more than once, so I made a workaround by renaming config.php to config.user.php and using require_once() in the original config.php to load these directives (it needs absolute path otherways it cannot find the file). Shouldn't require_once/include_once be used in all the places where referencing config.php? Br, Tylla,

Observium syslog year -0001
by Jason Vanlandingham 24 Feb '16

24 Feb '16

Lately (Since last CE update, I think) I've been seeing syslog messages for my Cisco router with a date stamp of "-0001-11-30" with text reading just something like "1:1". A little searching reveals that there was a mail list post from July 2014 for the same thing happening with Netgear equipment, but the only way I could see that post was through Google's cached result, and I can't find any replies. Is anyone else getting this? Known issue, perhaps?

Export/import hosts
by Laszlo Nemeth 23 Feb '16

23 Feb '16

Hello, Because we have a problem with the alerts (if i set up an alert the Observium send an alert in every 5 minutes instead of 1 alert / 24 hour ) i decided to reinstall the Observium (First i installed the 201506(?) CE and updated it to CE 0.16.1.7533) So the question is can i export the hosts and import back after the reinstall procedure? Currently i have more than 50 hosts, so it is faster if i can just do an export/import instead of add all host again…. Thanks Laszlo

losing device information after adding IP SLA
by Bastiaan Topper 23 Feb '16

23 Feb '16

Hi, We have a few devices in our Observium installation which lost some sensor en memory pools during discovery. See below. It looks like the problem started around 5 days ago. [cid:image004.png@01D16E44.AA924840] It looks like that after enabling a new IP SLA config on a new device, and running a discovery, first the new IP SLA entity appeared. But after waiting a few minutes, the IP SLA and more entities, disappeared. [cid:image005.png@01D16E46.CFB02A50] I attached the discovery debug information for both hosts. How can we get this back to work? Did anything change in the discovery and/or IP SLA around 5 days ago? Thanks and regards, Bastiaan

Normal Users not getting permissions using Active Directory
by Schrader, Spencer R 23 Feb '16

23 Feb '16

I have included the link at the bottom to where I described the issue which was marked “resolved” and I was pointed here for help. I have the professional version of observium where users are all successfully authenticating, but when normal users log in they can’t see anything. I edited there permissions and allowed them all to see multiple devices(screenshot in link),but they still can’t see anything. Observium recognizes they log in as normal users, but doesn’t let them see any of the other devices they have access to. Global Read, and administrators work fine. I posted my ldap config and a few screenshots in the link. http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBSERVIUM-1684 Thanks for your time! -Spencer

Dell ESXi v6 hosts RAM not reporting
by Pedrosi, Derek G. 22 Feb '16

22 Feb '16

I have a few host that were recently upgraded from ESXi5.1 to ESXi6.0. After upgrading, Observium no longer is reporting on physical RAM, at all. Host are Dell r810/r720; at time of upgrade their OpenManage was also upgraded to 8.2. The Observium event log for the servers say... "Memory pool removed: mib host-resources-mib, index 27, descr Real Memory" So I see it was removed, but why? I did an smptwalk on the box "snmpwalk -v2c -c XXXXX 10.X.X.X .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.2.0"--> HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrMemorySize.0 = INTEGER: 536857360 Kbytes It looks like the value it still there. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanx in advance, derek
