Speeding up caching and database
by Louis Bailleul 16 Feb '16

16 Feb '16

Hi Team, I have a performance issue with the web interface. My Observium is monitoring 3095 devices from which 168 are switches (Just a bit less than 20000 ports total). My server is an IBM X3650 M4, 32G of ram, 6 cores and a raid 10 of SSD. I am more than happy with the polling performance has it finishing in under 200seconds. But the web interface is quite annoying : I have a minimum Time to first bit of ~2seconds. Once these two seconds have passed the page load almost instantly, graphs included. So the question is, can I speed things up ? And if yes how ? It looks like Observium is spending about a second in the database and says that the Cache took 2 seconds to process (?). Do I have some leverage on these points to make it faster ? Page load time (Just a device page) : Connection Setup TIME Queueing 5.24 ms Stalled 1.26 ms Request sent 0.80 ms Waiting (TTFB) 3.29 s Content Download 26.62 ms Explanation 3.33 s Observium Performance report : Page 2.281s Cache 2.047s MySQL Cell 50/0.0633s Row 35/0.0113s Rows 49/0.7822s Column 8/0.0564s Memory Cached 180MB Page 189MB Peak 229MB Versions: Observium 0.16.1.7535 (27th January 2016) OS Linux 3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64 [amd64] (CentOS 7.2.1511) Apache 2.4.6 (CentOS) PHP/5.4.16 PHP 5.4.16 Python 2.7.5 MySQL 5.5.44-MariaDB-log (extension: mysqli 5.5.44-MariaDB) SNMP NET-SNMP 5.7.2 RRDtool 1.4.8 Stats : Statistics DB size 606MB RRD size 134GB Devices 3095 Ports 19390 IPv4 Addresses 6148 IPv4 Networks 44 IPv6 Addresses 2959 IPv6 Networks 1 Services 0 Applications 0 Processors 61262 Memory 15563 Storage 11742 Disk I/O 97461 HR-MIB 96815 Entity-MIB 7292 Syslog Entries 0 Eventlog Entries 172938 Sensors 3863 Toner Mysqltuner output : -------- Performance Metrics ------------------------------------------------- [--] Up for: 2d 21h 57m 9s (260M q [1K qps], 5K conn, TX: 283B, RX: 45B) [--] Reads / Writes: 59% / 41% [--] Binary logging is disabled [--] Total buffers: 10.5G global + 4.7M per thread (650 max threads) [OK] Maximum reached memory usage: 11.2G (35.94% of installed RAM) [OK] Maximum possible memory usage: 13.5G (43.37% of installed RAM) [OK] Slow queries: 0% (14K/260M) [OK] Highest usage of available connections: 21% (142/650) [OK] Aborted connections: 0.00% (0/5477) [OK] Query cache efficiency: 32.3% (74M cached / 230M selects) [OK] Query cache prunes per day: 0 [OK] Sorts requiring temporary tables: 0% (129 temp sorts / 182K sorts) [OK] Temporary tables created on disk: 0% (201 on disk / 112K total) [OK] Thread cache hit rate: 97% (142 created / 5K connections) [OK] Table cache hit rate: 102% (922 open / 896 opened) [OK] Open file limit used: 5% (52/1K) [OK] Table locks acquired immediately: 97% (244M immediate / 249M locks) -------- MyISAM Metrics ----------------------------------------------------- [!!] Key buffer used: 18.0% (28M used / 157M cache) [OK] Key buffer size / total MyISAM indexes: 150.0M/99.0K [!!] Read Key buffer hit rate: 93.3% (15 cached / 1 reads) -------- InnoDB Metrics ----------------------------------------------------- [--] InnoDB is enabled.

Sorting on traffic bug?
by Steffie Morris 13 Feb '16

13 Feb '16

Hi, when you are in the ports view of a switch, and you sort on the column traffic. speeds op 900Mbit are sorted before 1.5Gbit. probably because 900 is larger than 1.5 but the unit is different so i guess that needs to be taken into account somehow?

FreeBSD port update / "red" draw errors
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 12 Feb '16

12 Feb '16

As discussed back in June — http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.observium.general/10286 - this issue also affects FreeBSD. Mathieu Arnold contributed a fix (https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=207057) which, together with a few other small patches & cleanups has been merged into the FreeBSD ports collection a few hours ago. May be an idea to apply this patch (below) to HEAD; I suspect there is a similar issue in generic_multi_data_separated.

Cisco Port Errors Alerts
by Gagandeep Mann 11 Feb '16

11 Feb '16

We are monitoring Cisco routers using Observium We have seen that the list of Errored Ports displays only ports that have "Tx/Rx Errors" on them - it is not displaying ports which have "Tx/Rx Discards". The Custom Alerts documentation also does not mention any way to check Interface Discards separately, We have tried adding ifOutDiscards_rate, but it does not work. Is there any way to achieve this.

Hello, We’re using Brocade FC-switches with virtual fabrics. According to http://community.brocade.com/t5/Fibre-Channel-SAN/Looking-for-monitor-virtu… <http://community.brocade.com/t5/Fibre-Channel-SAN/Looking-for-monitor-virtu…> using snmpv3 and “context” I should be able to monitor ports in each context. Is this supported in Observium? Setting a specific context for snmpv3. As far as I know, it’s only possible to add a device once, if it has the same IP - how would i monitor the different contexts? — Ole Hansen

Cisco 6500 PSU with 1xAC fault
by Robert Williams 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

Hi, Does anyone know if there is a way to detect a failed AC input on a 6500 PSU when the PSU has dual inputs? I've just noticed that when one of the inputs is removed from each PSU there is no indication in Observium that anything is wrong at all. At the CLI you can see the status changes to AC LOW. For example, below I have removed one of the AC inputs from power supply No.2 #show environment status power-supply 1: power-supply 1 fan-fail: OK power-supply 1 power-input: AC high power-supply 1 power-output-mode: high power-supply 1 incompatible with fan: OK power-supply 1 power-output-fail: OK power-supply 2: power-supply 2 fan-fail: OK power-supply 2 power-input: AC low power-supply 2 power-output-mode: low power-supply 2 incompatible with fan: OK power-supply 2 power-output-fail: OK You also get a reduction in the 'capacity' of the PSU, as shown below: #show power Power-Capacity PS-Fan Output Oper PS Type Watts A @42V Status Status State ---- ------------------ ------- ------ ------ ------ ----- 1 WS-CAC-6000W 5771.64 137.42 OK OK on 2 WS-CAC-6000W 2671.20 63.60 OK OK on Nothing that I can see in Observium shows any of this information so there is nothing for me to Threshold on. Anyone hit this already and come up with a way of doing it? Or is there an OID for the AC Low/High status which can perhaps be added for Observium to see? Cheers!

Port names for D-Link 'smart' switches
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

Minor feature suggestion for the D-LINK switches. As, iin Observium, one cannot change the port description, you need to rely on being able to set those in the switches (e.g. when you want to use Peering, Transit and other trickery). On D-LINK ifName contains a generated Slot0/1 … Slot0/28, etc. These cannot be changed. However at .1.3.6.1.4.1.171.10.76.21.1.1.16.1.2 (DGS series) .1.3.6.1.4.1.171.10.75.15.2.1.14.1.3 (DES series) and so on - there is a always a table with a sysPortDescString : $ snmptranslate -Tp -M+`pwd`:d-link -m+DES-1210-28MEbx .1.3.6.1.4.1.171.10.75.15.2.1.14.1.3 +-- -RW- String sysPortDescString(3) Textual Convention: DisplayString Size: 0..32 I.e. in the private enterprise MIBs for the various DGS/DES switches there is a sysPortDescString that can be set by the user through the file/SDN or web interfaces. Example of the output below. May be useful to pick up.

Hi, Our daily discovery has just found a load of (invalid) new sensors on all our various Riello NetMan cards everywhere, easiest to show the image below.

by Laz C. Peterson 08 Feb '16

08 Feb '16

Hello everyone, We are trying out Observium CE, now seriously considering the subscription, and really love the interface and functionality of the application. One requirement we have is being able to access this information from a mobile device, such as iPhone. I have been searching online, unable to find any information about this topic. Does anyone know of a solution to this, or is there an existing template, app or product that can interface with Observium? Beautiful piece of software. Much thanks for any suggestions or insight. ~ Laz Peterson Paravis, LLC

BGP Tab missing

Hi Adam, I would like to pick up an old thread, we’ve got a Juniper router that shows the following log entry at every polling: [cid:image001.png@01D161DB.426DF6D0] But has no BGP tab ☺ Last time we spoke you confirmed the data was there in MySQL so I’m curious where I can go next or if I can get some paid support on this?

Alert check config for a UPS "Status" entry
by Spencer Ryan 08 Feb '16

08 Feb '16

We'd like to alert when any of our APC UPS'es output status is not "online" I see an alert check type is "status" but I'm not sure what to use for the other settings. Right now we have a UPS in hardware bypass due to a bad inverter (ugh) and the status entry says "event alert, status hardwareFailureBypass". Any tips? *Spencer Ryan* | Senior Systems Administrator | sryan(a)arbor.net *Arbor Networks* +1.734.794.5033 (d) | +1.734.846.2053 (m) www.arbornetworks.com

Graph presentation page - leaving it up for a long period
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 08 Feb '16

08 Feb '16

During observing a team using observium coming from one of the similar competing platforms; noticed a fair bit of confusion as to what updates and what not. Mostly during ‘dive ins’ when something post incident was ‘kept an eye on’ for the ensuing 3-6 hours; including across work-shift related handovers. The issue is which pages auto-refresh - and which not. And I think the only place where it jars is at the date selection/update buttoned pages. Specifically - when you look at the detailed graph; i.e. on: http://10.11.0.132/graphs/to=1454928724/id=7287/type=sensor_graph/from=1454… Having gotten there from an overview page such as: http://10.11.0.132/device/device=722/tab=health/metric=temperature/id= 7287/ it shows right away as a most recent 24 hour ‘date preset’. The user then sees this page nicely reload every N minutes (as confirmed in the top right of the page). And an experienced ops-hand will track that from the corner of his/her eye - and ignore it the instant the graph stays ‘sane’. BUT in reality the date preset does not track - it is just the 6/24/48h/week/month/year tiny graphs at the top that get updated. And that is easy to miss. So two small UX things suggestions: 1) Would it be possible if, left unattended after, to start rolling with the time; updating the date presets bar when it was never touched in the first place. OR once it was shown for 2-3 minutes - highlight something in the Date preset bar to signal the data is out of date — e.g. have the Update/reload button on the far right be highlighted; i.e. signal an update is possible/due/needed. OR perhaps in combination with a pause/play button very OBVIOUSLY set to ‘pause’ as a more generic idea. 2) Since the preset shown there is in effect the second preset from the 6, 24, 48, one week bare above it - may be nice to indicate this - i.e. that the preset has been filled out in this mode.
