Proxmox
by Cody Cook 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

Hi everyone, Two things about Proxmox and my usage with Observium: Upgraded all of my Proxmox boxes except one to 4.0 from 3.4. I use zfs for all the file systems. Since switching to Proxmox 4.0, appears that snmp no longer includes the zfs volumes automatically in the SNMP reply. :( Does anyone have some suggestions on automatically showing their zfs vols in SNMP? I read a manpage for snmpd.conf but only recognized the ignoreDisk screen to manually add. Some other site said begemotSnmpdModulePath."hostres" = /usr/lib/snmp_hostres.so would be useful if I was on FreeBSD, but I am using Debian :P Another question I had is that I was reading that there is the ability to query Proxmox for VMs. Neither my 3.4 or my 4.0 box show VMs. My enable_libvirt is 1 and I use lxc+ssh and openvz+ssh in the libvirt protocols option in the config (lxc for 4.0, openvz for 3.4). I don't see anything VM. I do have tab for VMs for my vmware esxi server though. The public key from Observium is in the authorized_keys file for each of my root users on each proxmox box. What am I missing here? net-snmp version: 5.7.2.1+dfsg-1 Cody

Location
by Tibor Marchyn 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

Hi all, I don't know if it's bug, but I have set locaton on alsmost all my devices, but let's say 1 day ago it wasn't. so few of them was as Unknown location and in devices menu I saw structure like "Unknown -> unset ; Prague -> address, ... " I have fixed location and started poller and discovery. Poller got new location for each device where it was unset. But in menu I still saw structure like Devices - Locations | |- <empty string> | |-Address1 (8 count) | |-<Prague> |-Address1 (55 count) And Address1 is same for both sections because devices in both sections have same sysLocation parameter. Also doesn't matter which menu I click, I always got list of all devices with this sysLocation parameter (63 count). Also I have in config these lines to replace location with exact address and it works fine. $config['location_map']['Prague'] = "my street, Prague, Czech Republic"; $config['location_map']['Nashville'] = "us street, Franklin, TN 12345"; Do you know how to force Observium to move fixed location devices under "Prague" town and show proper count of devices? Thanks

[Observium] /usr/local/www/observium/html/includes/graphs/sensor/capacity.inc.php
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 21 Jan '16

21 Jan '16

Hmm - in -latest.tar.gz there seems to be a reference to /usr/local/www/observium/html/includes/graphs/sensor/capacity.inc.php from /usr/local/www/observium-latest/html/includes/graphs/graph.inc.php with Graph type: sensor, subtype: graph which is somehow caused by: includes/graphs/sensor/auth.inc.php not checking (unlike graph.inc.php) if such an include exists. So I wonder if that auth.inc should become: { if ($subtype == 'graph') { // Fix generic subtype $subtype = $sensor['sensor_class']; $possible_inc = $config['html_dir'] . "/includes/graphs/$type/$subtype.inc.php"; if (is_file($possible_inc)) { $graph_include = $possible_inc; }; } Dw.

Lost discover of the 'ports'.
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 21 Jan '16

21 Jan '16

We recently installed a new/parallel Observium (the old one had not been upgraded for years). The baseline is from http://www.observium.org/observium-community-latest.tar.gz as of today; with a new/fresh config.php. All fine & modern — except for the Ports on the various firewalls and switches not showing up automatically (Neither in ports or in settings; Port Properties). The ‘ports’ poller module is enable; as are POE and ports/port-stack in discovery. Any hint as where to fix/debug/dig as to understand why this is ? Thanks, Dw.

Narrower OID detection

What is the best way to go about it (currently we use a small stub in include/discover/wifi that ‘forces’ the setting) — or is the config[] somehow able to go from narrow to broad already ?

DirectoryIndex index.php
by Dirk-Willem van Gulik 21 Jan '16

21 Jan '16

While at it - a small nit w.r.t to the otherwise cut-and-paste perfect: http://www.observium.org/docs/install_* pages — a config for apache DirectoryIndex index.php should be added; either global or, better, within the <Directory … blocks. As it is no longer part of most php default installs. Furthermore - if you want to be very safe on modern unixes - adding a: SetHandler application/x-httpd-php is not a bad idea; and otherwise harmless; as some now avoid this by default for security reasons.

Cisco IPSEC tunnel problem
by Bastiaan Topper 21 Jan '16

21 Jan '16

Hi all, Attached you find the debug output of the cipsec-tunnels module. We miss some tunnels in the statistics, while they are successful up and running, Observium isn't reporting them. What I see is that the Cisco SNMP is successfully returning the information and, for example in this case, one of the tunnels is showed in the GUI. [cid:image001.png@01D15447.C82C9070] Are we doing something wrong? Or is this a bug? Regards, Bastiaan

RRDTool Output: ERROR only on overview graph.
by Arno Mooreeleme 20 Jan '16

20 Jan '16

We just added a host to observium for which the overview graph does not work. It is an cisco firewall (ASA) running in context mode, the context itself has just 2 interfaces. Both these interfaces are graphed just fine when we look at the ports. However the combined graph on the overview page just shows an 'error drawing graph'. The problem seems to be that the RRD graph is generated without any path's to the existing RRD files. As you can see in the output below there is just an empty space for where the RRD path should be. Any idea where to start troubleshooting this? Note that this is the only host, all other work just fine.

Hi all, If I change ignore_mount_network=>0, should it show up cifsd based shares? I have a host reporting some back, but nothing in observium.

FW: Custom OID alerting
by Franks Andy (IT Technical Architecture Manager) 18 Jan '16

Hi all, Like the custom oid addition, it's nice to be able to add support for some each oids if necessary. One thing I've never been able to find out how to do was get mount point support in windows for space percentages used - I can now do this, but wondered whether I could do a custom oid alert? We tend to not have the time to proactively check graphs, so an alert would be ideal. Thanks Andy
