System Running Very Slow
by Eddie Worthington 15 Jan '16

15 Jan '16

Hi, Since upgrading to the latest release with the new interface, the system is running extremely slowly. Installed on Ubuntu 14.04 with 12 vCPU's & 4GB RAM. It worked like a dream before but can now take up to 30 seconds to load a page. Upgraded with SVN. What have I done wrong? Many Thanks, Eddie

Device Bits Graphing error message
by Joey Stanford 15 Jan '16

15 Jan '16

Howdy, I’m running the community edition on Ubuntu. All the graphs work except the traffic graphs (bits). I get the standard “Draw error”. I don’t get any errors polling (other than a MIB not being supported for engineID). The devices are all Mikrotik routers. I put an &debug=1 on the traffic graph URL and discovered an error all the way at the bottom: “command returned 1 (ERROR: Unused Arguments “” in command : AREA:inbits0#B6D14B:ether1-wan Rx: )" The full text is here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14490188/ It’s unclear to me if this is actually causing this one graph (on all my systems) to fail but so far there is a trend from spot checking. Any thoughts on how to debug this further? Thanks, Joey

14 Jan '16

I am working on setting up alerting. I have the subscription version of Observium ( version 0.16.1.7407 [stable] running on CentOS 7). I am stuck on the email alerting piece. What settings do I need to configure in sendmail for my email alerts to get sent to my email on our internal exchange server. Anyone have any idea how this needs to be set up? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

pages slow, maybe nginx instead of apache
by Simon Smith 14 Jan '16

14 Jan '16

Hi All, I wanted a view on what people think about using nginx instead of apache for obsevium? ive just managed to change apache to nginx (had to change htaccess to get it to work, but got there in the end) and it seems a little bit quicker but not by much I’m having an issue where when the server is polling and i want a graph or load up the page, it seems slow and takes forever! ( about 10 seconds ) if I load the panel when its not polling, the pages are quick, but i poll every 5mins, and it takes the full 5 mins to poll all our devices, so really no room to wiggle... if the anyway i can speed this up? would nginx help at all? my server is virtual based, 12gb ram, 4 virtual xeon 2.2ghz cores, 80gb virtual hard drive regards Simon

Hello, I just purchased the subscription version and am looking into setting up Alert checkers. How do I get an alert checker to run? I was referring to documentation and looked the DEMO and it looks like the checker will determine a pass/fail. I have set one for storage [cid:image001.png@01D14DF5.9B1B9F20] Is there something else I need to put?

itsafeaturenotabug (was re: routing tab)
by Rob VanHooren 13 Jan '16

13 Jan '16

it’s not “broken” in the sense that CSCO officially considers multicontext snmp the “by-design” method (and I have the TAC cases to prove it). remember, snmp *works* which means it’s for grouchy old [grey|neck]beards. netconf & shiny-api-disaster-of-the-week are supposed to rule the new agile! world! of! devops! ( *gag* ) not just ASRs … for instance, it’s the same thing (multicontext snmp hell) with VRFs on n7k’s. so, it’s a “feature” not a “bug” smh R. > On Jan 13, 2016, at 07:00, observium-request(a)observium.org wrote: > > Because the MIB is broken and doesn?t have any concept of VRF awareness. > > The workaround that I used on my ASR9Ks was to create a different context for the VRF in question. > > This config example basically treats the vrf Inetv4 as the default vrf when polling with community blahpoo.

95th percent billing
by ChanTy 13 Jan '16

13 Jan '16

Hi, I just want to clarify the burstable rate calculation which should work as below according to wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burstable_billing#95th_percentile) : “ Bandwidth is measured (or sampled) from the switch or router and recorded in a log file. In most cases, this is done every 5 minutes. At the end of the month, the samples are sorted from highest to lowest, and the top 5% (which equal to approximately 36 hours of a 30-day billing cycle) of data is thrown away. The next highest measurement becomes the billable use for the entire month. “ Is observium applying the same calculation on BILLING feature ? Is it possible to download RAW file in which has sample of every 5 minutes ? Regards, chanty

Not receiving email notifications. Has there been a change in Alert system I need to know about?
by Richard Kuhns 11 Jan '16

11 Jan '16

Hello, I recently updated my Observium installation; I'm now running 0.16.1.7473. I haven't changed any configurations. I followed procedure, as far as I know: polling was finished, I did the 'svn up' followed by './discovery.php -u' and everything looked fine. However, I should have just received an email both when a port I'm monitoring went down, and about half an hour later when it recovered. Looking through the alert log, I see the entries that say 'Alert notification sent' followed later by 'Recovery notification sent'. I didn't receive either notification, there's nothing in the mail queue, and maillog doesn't show any attempts. This was working perfectly before my update. I'm afraid I don't remember which version that was, but it was from about a week before I saw comments in the mailing list about the change in layout on the front page.

Feature request
by observium＠istar.net.nz 10 Jan '16

Just wondering how hard it would be to implement the following features, please le tme know if these already exist and I've just missed them! 1) Close window button on the hover popups. I think the pop ups are great but I find sometimes they don't disappear, a small X button on the top RH corner would be fantastic! 2) Adding AND and NOT to the Device/Entity filters It would be fantastic to have a little more flexibility in the filters used for Alerts and Groups etc. Would it be easy enough to be able to use AND and NOT statements? Thanks in advanced. SHANE lE <mailto:shanson@istar.net.nz> shanson(a)istar.net.nz lW <https://istar.net.nz/> istar.net.nz lA PO Box 911507, Victoria St West, Auckland lM +64 21 623 903

Recent update beaks Rancid for Cisco ASAs
by David Wilkinson 08 Jan '16

08 Jan '16

Hi, We have recently updated our version and the generate rancid script is now using the wrong type for the Cisco ASA devices. The type used for the Cisco ASA should be "cisco", it has recently changed so it sets the type to be "asa" This causes rancid to fail with an unknown type. Can this be corrected? We are using rancid 3.1. Observium: 0.16.1.7396 (rolling) Regards David
