Contact Destination - Local file
by Spencer Ryan 16 Dec '15

16 Dec '15

Would it be possible to add a local file option to the providers for a contact? There are situations where we would like to manipulate the data with a script of our own based on triggered alerts and recoveries and instead of mucking around the DB by hand having Observium write out the alerts to a file would be the easiest. Maybe just have it take a path and just >> the alert contents to whatever the user enters? *Spencer Ryan* | Senior Systems Administrator | sryan(a)arbor.net *Arbor Networks* +1.734.794.5033 (d) | +1.734.846.2053 (m) www.arbornetworks.com

Not alerting (probably user fail)
by Robert Williams 16 Dec '15

16 Dec '15

Hi, We've just finished migrating some of our monitoring targets to an additional instance of Observium, everything is polling fine and all the historic data etc. has been moved OK. The only thing which remains broken is that none of the alerts are actually sending their emails. They do show as being in an alert state OK, for example: However, no actual 'Alerted' time is ever recorded - and no email is ever sent. The sendmail element works fine with: sendmail -vt < testmail.txt The test contains the correct FROM and DEFAULT from the config.php in Observium and this delivers fine. Problem is, it was a very long time ago that I originally configured Observium alerting on the first box and I'm probably missing something stupid. Relevant config sections below: Both of these sections are identical to the working system they were copied from, which works fine. The postfix config is also identical to the working server and I'm confident postfix is OK as the test from it are fine: myhostname = OBSERVIUM.x.y alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases myorigin = /etc/mailname mydestination = OBSERVIUM, OBSERVIUM.x.y, localhost relayhost = 1.2.3.4 mailbox_size_limit = 0 recipient_delimiter = + Can anyone assist by pointing me at the switch I've obviously failed to turn on, or let me know what additional debugs I can provide to help track this?

Alerts, metrics and attributes for applications
by Alex Winder ＠ M5i 16 Dec '15

16 Dec '15

Hi everyone, Does anyone know if there are any attributes or metrics for the UNIX agent applications, in particular NGINX, MySQL, Apache, and PowerDNS Recursor. I'm looking to create some alert checkers for them if it's at all possible. The only information I can find about the attributes and metrics is the following: http://www.observium.org/docs/attribs_metrics/ https://github.com/mgmoerman/docs/blob/master/observium-alert-checkers.md Regards, Alex.

Re: [Observium] RRD Perms Issue - Error Drawing Graph

It seems that someone has modified your cron jobs to no longer be run as root, since your rrds were created by root and svn has no ability to change them.

RRD Perms Issue - Error Drawing Graph
by Robbie Wright 15 Dec '15

15 Dec '15

Recently upgraded from 69xx to 72xx after we renewed our license and it broke all of our RRD's, resulting in the "Error Drawing Graph" issue. Running this "./poller.php -h <hostname> -m ports -d" gives me two noticeable, but unobjectionable to me things: SNMP_STATUS[TRUE] o Device status Device is reachable by PING (8.28ms) and SNMP (81.63ms) RRD CMD[update /opt/observium/rrd/hostname/status.rrd N:1] RRD RUNTIME[0.0012s] RRD STDOUT[ERROR: opening '/opt/observium/rrd/hostname/status.rrd': Permission denied] RRD_STATUS[FALSE] and this at the end of the results: Log file '/opt/observium/logs/observium.log' is not writable, check file permissions. So clearly some type of permission issue but not sure what happened during the upgrade that would have caused this. Any thoughts on what chmod's need to be set on the directories or what else could have went haywire? Robbie Wright Siuslaw Broadband <https://siuslawbroadband.com> 541-902-5101

Sorry for the mass email here, but trying to renew our sub to Observium and our CC is getting declined, with the banking tell us the billing address doesn't match what Observium's credit card processor has on file. I don't see a way to update our address in our account on Observium's system or with Paddle or whoever. Thoughts? Aside from using PayPal?

Arista Light levels reading
by Tomas Morales 14 Dec '15

14 Dec '15

Hi We are trying to monitor the light levels in fibre ports in our Arista switches but looks like it is no managed properly if we compare with a Brocade router. See attached the screenshoots for each device. For Arista, we see the "DOM TX" and "DOM RX" entries taken as "Power" but in Brocade they are taken as "dBm". I can provide the database output if required. I can see differences in the sensor table for sensors from Arista and Brocade devices. Any advice regarding how to fix this?

Alerting - match multiple ASNs ?
by Robert Williams 10 Dec '15

10 Dec '15

Hi, What’s the correct syntax for an entity match which will match a selection of ASNs? I need an alert checker which will look for a specific set of ASNs and alert for any BGP session being not-up. Currently for our iBGP we use: [Conditions] bgpPeerState ne established bgpPeerAdminStatus notequals stop [Device] * [Entity Match] bgpPeerRemoteAs match <ourASN> This works perfectly. Now – what I’m after is that I need a new checker which will match eBGP ASNs like 174,3356,2914,5580 etc. all in one rule (the ‘important’ ASNs, for want of a better term). I have tried a selection of things but I’m obviously missing what the logical ‘or’ element should be in this case, as all my attempts at using multiple ASNs within a match just result in zero matches. Can someone point me in the right direction please? Cheers! Robert Williams Custodian Data Centre Email: Robert(a)CustodianDC.com http://www.CustodianDC.com

Quagga with SNMP support.
by Gabriel Zamorski 08 Dec '15

08 Dec '15

Hello, Does anyone have a experience with snmp support in Quagga on Debian 7/8? I installed Quagga with SNMP support (smux or agentx) and configured Quagga to use snmp, but Observium doesn't see anything except an AS number. In Properties > MIBs section there are a couple of errors like: - bgpLocalAs.0 1m 28s ago SNMP error - .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.2.196608 (608 to 619) SNMP error On the other hand, in a similar configuration in VyOS everything works fine. I'm not sure if it depends on patched quagga on VyOS or a misconfiguration in my environment. Regards! Gabriel

Re: [Observium] Everything is DOWN after svn UP :-)

Minor documentation typo

Hi team, There is a minor typo on this page: http://www.observium.org/docs/unix_agent/ Specifically this, scp /opt/observium/scripts/observium_agent_xinetd user@your_server:/etc/xinet.d/observium_agent_xinetd Note that /etc/xinet.d should be /etc/xinetd.d Very minor, but thought I'd let you know about it. -- Regards, Roland PGP Key 0xDA39319B = BCF0 1214 BAE9 5A3D 46FC 21A6 360D 9398 DA39 319B

Regex in an entity match not working right
by Spencer Ryan 07 Dec '15

07 Dec '15

Hi All, I'm trying to match ports with the name port-channel1 through 19, and the "match" keyword isn't doing what I want. What I think is correct is "ifName match port-channel([1-9]|1[0-9])" However that gives me 0 matches. If I change it to something like ifName match port-channel*" I get all the port channels, so it's matching the device properly, but for this alert checker I just need port channels 1-19. Any ideas? I've tried a bunch of combinations and nothing seems to work right. Even "port-channel." doesn't match the additional character. *Spencer Ryan* | Senior Systems Administrator | sryan(a)arbor.net *Arbor Networks* +1.734.794.5033 (d) | +1.734.846.2053 (m) www.arbornetworks.com

toggles and pop ups have stopped working
by observium＠istar.net.nz 06 Dec '15

06 Dec '15

Hello We've recently updated Observium (now 0.15.12.7230) and enabled SSH and the on/off switches are not being shown and the date popups don't work. If I browse to it on http it seems to be fine. I've checked the apache config and it looks identical, any thoughts?

UNIX Agent
by Alex Winder ＠ M5i 05 Dec '15

05 Dec '15

Hi all, I'm currently trying to get the UNIX agent for Observium working with some of our hosts so that we can obtain more data for applications, primarily NGINX. We are now seeing data on the agent execution time graph. We are getting responses from the Observium host to the NGINX host via Telnet, and receiving information about NGINX. We are getting the NGINX status information through Lynx on the localhost. We are using the following configs. /etc/xinetd.d/observium_agent_xinetd service observium_agent { type = UNLISTED port = 36602 socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = root server = /usr/bin/observium_agent # configure the IPv[4|6] address(es) of your Observium server here: only_from = [IPs removed] 127.0.0.1 ::1 # Don't be too verbose. Don't log every check. This might be # commented out for debugging. If this option is commented out # the default options will be used for this service. log_on_success = disable = no } /usr/lib/observium_agent/local/nginx !/usr/bin/env python import urllib2 import re data = urllib2.urlopen('http://localhost/nginx-status').read() params = {} for line in data.split("\n"): smallstat = re.match(r"\s?Reading:\s(.*)\sWriting:\s(.*)\sWaiting:\s(.*)$", line) req = re.match(r"\s+(\d+)\s+(\d+)\s+(\d+)", line) if smallstat: params["Reading"] = smallstat.group(1) params["Writing"] = smallstat.group(2) params["Waiting"] = smallstat.group(3) elif req: params["Requests"] = req.group(3) else: pass dataorder = [ "Active", "Reading", "Writing", "Waiting", "Requests" ] print "<<<nginx>>>\n"; for param in dataorder: if param == "Active": Active = int(params["Reading"]) + int(params["Writing"]) + int(params["Waiting"]) print Active else: print params[param] /etc/nginx/sites-automatic/localhost.conf server { listen 80; listen [::]:80; server_name localhost; server_name_in_redirect off; charset utf-8; log_not_found on; access_log /var/log/nginx/localhost_combined-access.log combined buffer=128k flush=5m; error_log /var/log/nginx/localhost_error.log; location / { root /local-storage/localhost/nginx-hosted/public_html; } location /nginx-status { stub_status on; access_log off; allow 127.0.0.1; allow ::1; deny all; } } Any help with this would be much appreciated. Where can we expect to see logs? Any tips on how we can resolve this? Regards, Alex.
