definitions.dat and sensor_types
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 06 Feb '16

We have a tiny sensor/discovery module (gist below) that picks up the (back)pressure, in Bar, of a cooling system. However when we add below to config.php: $config['sensor_types']['pressure']['symbol']='B'; $config['sensor_types']['pressure']['text']='Pressure'; $config['sensor_types']['pressure']['icon']=‘oicon-omega’; it seems that these values are wiped/overwritten by the values from definitions.dat. What, or perhaps, where, is the proper way to add these ? Thanks, Dw. <?php /* — Fetch backpressure on various P, C and I flows. dirkx(at)apache.org */ $oids = snmpwalk_cache_multi_oid($device, “backPressureTable", array(), “DANFLOSS-MIB"); foreach ($oids as $index => $entry) { $label = $entry[‘backPressureLabel']; $descr = $entry[‘backPressureDescr’]; // The older units have just a count - prefix with the label (firmware issue on the pump itself, // cannot be remedied through the puppet/config-deploy). // if (strlen($descr) < 3) { $descr = "$label $descr”; }; $type = ‘pressure'; foreach(array(‘backPressureTop', 'backPressureEgress','backPressureCompressure') as $field) { $oid = snmp_translate($field.'.'.$index, "DANFLOSS-MIB"); $value = $entry[ $field ]; $divisor = $entry[ $field.'Divisor' ]; if (!$divisor) $divisor = 1; if (is_numeric($value)) { /* Longer term - these prolly should go in one custom graph - rather than three */ discover_sensor($valid['sensor'], $type, $device, $oid, "$field.$index", ‘danfloss', $descr.' '.$field, 1.0/$divisor, $value); }; }; };

RRDBug ?

With a fresh install - seeing quite a few cases like below — odd Y axis legend. The values are roughly at 2.2 and 2.0 and only happen for some ranges. Not sure if this is an old or new problem. Fair to assume this is purely something RRD related/bug ? Dw.

FreeBSD ports - Observium CE update to
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 05 Feb '16

05 Feb '16

Folks, The FreeBSD port has been updated to Observium CE 0.16.1.7533; along with a whole bunch of extra/updated dependencies. This also makes the migration/activation to the professional version pretty much a ‘drop in’ now & makes the polling more efficient. SNMP internal mode is expressly disabled (it seems to suffer from the same issue as on fedora - some substitution issue). Thanks, Dw.

Reg: ARP Table not working
by Madhu Neal 05 Feb '16

05 Feb '16

Hi Team, I upgraded recently (a couple of times this week) and just reported that the ARP/NDP Table part of observium doesn’t load. Nothing errors in the apache error log. When I run poller.php manually, it does pull the information also. Please support, let me know what's needs to take care. Many Thanks, Madhu

Hi Guys, When I try to show the graph on a router interface for Traffic it comes up with a pink background with no grap. It says “Error Drawing Graph”. Does anyone know what can be causing this? Thanks.

Small feature suggestion - ports/brew/dpkg/etc collections
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 04 Feb '16

04 Feb '16

Couple of small feature suggestions - Would be nice if we could rely on a http://www.observium.org/observium-0.16.1.7533.tar.gz in parallel to the standard http://www.observium.org/observium-community-latest.tar.gz for the varius dpkg/debian/freebd/brew port collections. - Would be nice if the block in defaults.inc.php with: // Location of executables $config['rrdtool'] = "/usr/local/bin/rrdtool”; ……. $config['file'] = "/usr/bin/file”; could be overwridden by a <ROOTDIR>/config.os.php - and perhaps itself live separate from the defaults. As this allows a puppet/ansible/chef recipe (or the various ports collections) to manage this file as an OS specific thing; and keep the per system configs strictly in config.php. Making the latter the only thing to preserve across migrations (and not having to cross check it for OS specific ‘new’ things). With more and more people using things like vagrant/docker/etc - that sort of abstraction becomes useful. Dw.

Single box scalability/sizing?
by Steve Costaras 04 Feb '16

04 Feb '16

We currently have ~500 devices/50,000 ports being monitored on a dual cpu E5-2643 v0 system. It's currently running around 80% cpu (all cores w/ hyper-threading) and on a raid-10 16 drive array (sas 2.5" 10K rpm) which averages 1k iops. Most systems are polled in < 5minutes (with about 5-10 taking longer as they're fully loaded boxes). Looking to plan for future growth, I'm trying to see if anyone is running larger installations and their performance on a single box in trying to gauge if it's worthwhile to spend the $$ to upgrade to a newer V3 cpu system, or if we've effectively reached a single-point saturation limit and have to deploy distributed. I.e. do we have anyone here running say 1500 devices or 150,000 - 200,000 ports on a single system? If so, care to share your specs? Thanks. Steve

Combining multiple custom OIDs into one graph.
by T-MONT Administrator 04 Feb '16

Hi guys, I have a question regarding custom OIDs feature: current approach is to have an OID and combine its values pulled from multiple hosts into one graph. Is (or will be) opposite approach possible - to combine multiple OIDs values pulled from the same host into one graph? Thanks! Regards, Pawel

Hello I'd like to set fixed values of the Y axis on the minigraphs. Is that possible? I don't find much value of the adaptive scaling since it means I have to read the AXIS and not only throw a quick eye at it to see anomalies.

Feature or bug -- 0.16.1.7533 version - naming of connected port of known device reverts to Mac address.
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 03 Feb '16

03 Feb '16

In below devices/port display - we get for Slot0/21 the connected “port” on “device”. - i.e. eth0 on Ypenburg. However for Slot0/24 we get ’10’ on <macaddress>. Even though that actual port is called ‘Slot0/10’ on ‘Fooburg’ and known to Observium. Not sure if this is intentional - or the side effect from some LLCP discovery process gone awry. Dw.

cdp neighbor and mac address questions
by Randy Mahurin 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

Hello, I've just completed a new install of Observium, version 0.16.1.7535 (27th January 2016), and have a couple of questions in hopes that someone can point me to the correct debugging process. 1) The mac address information on the port is of the port itself, rather than the connected device. We are strictly Cisco in our switching, most are 2960 variety with some 3750 and 3850 mixed in. I see in the demo software, the mac address on the port pages shows that of the client. Also, several months ago, we ran a small version of Observium (since decommissioned) and the client mac populated. 2) Auto discovery based on CDP seems really sporadic, several neighbors will be added, but some will not. SNMP settings are the same across the board and CDP discovered neighbors can be added manually without issue. Is there any chance someone has come across these before? Thank you -- Randy Mahurin Office of Information Technology Boise State University 1910 University Drive, Boise, ID, 83725-1249 Phone: (208) 426-4003
