Observium and PHP7
by Markus Klock 18 Dec '15

18 Dec '15

Good news everyone! PHP7 is out and promise great performance to all PHP-applications. I tried it out this weekend on my Observium-installation and it did not disappoint! I have a rather large Observium and some of you that runs very large installations may have noticed that the web UI can get a little slow when rendering all the stuff from a large database. In my case the overview-page loads in about 5s and some of the more heavy pages like /devices/ takes about 7s to load. Well after upgrading to PHP7 my page loadtimes are now down to <1.5s for almost any page and atleast <2s for the heavy ones, I got a 2-3x performance boost! If you want to try it out I made a quick guide on how to run Observium on PHP7 here: http://blog.best-practice.se/2015/12/vastly-improve-observium-performance.h… Note that I don't know if everything in Observium is fully compatible with PHP7, I tried as many features as I could think of with no problems, however I have not tried the billing-module. Even if most of you don't have need for a speedup in the web UI, its great to see PHP improve performance like this. This means Observium will be able to scale even further in the future :) /Markus

Hi all, I have just enabled OSPF between a Cisco 887VA running c880data-universalk9-mz.154-3.M4 and a Cisco 3750 c3750-ipservicesk9-mz.122-55.SE9. I can see the OSPF process on Observium for Cisco 3750 but nothing for Cisco 887 I tried to get some debug on router and that what I got (not sure if can be useful or not) Dec 16 11:15:09.002: SNMP: Response, reqid 1755104544, errstat 0, erridx 0 ospfGeneralGroup.1.0 = 192.168.0.1 ospfGeneralGroup.2.0 = 1 ospfGeneralGroup.3.0 = 2 ospfGeneralGroup.4.0 = 2 ospfGeneralGroup.5.0 = 1 ospfGeneralGroup.6.0 = 1 ospfGeneralGroup.7.0 = 9505 ospfGeneralGroup.8.0 = 2 ospfGeneralGroup.9.0 = 4 ospfGeneralGroup.10.0 = 3 Dec 16 11:15:09.042: SNMP: Packet sent via UDP to 192.168.0.3 process_mgmt_req_int: UDP packet being de-queued Anyone has experienced something similar?

broken app (apache/mysql) integration
by Nils Podzich 18 Dec '15

18 Dec '15

Hello, I have some problems with the 7274 version and the apps. Especially with the mysql and apache app. Mailgraph seems to work fine, the others are not tested. The app script of mysql/apache seem to run fine, if I telnet to 36602 I get output which seems valid to me - and is similar to a release where apache is working. I have no working version of mysql for comparison at the moment. I think I narrowed to problem down. If I try to run the poller-script manually in debug there is an error ---snip--- SQL[SELECT * FROM `applications` WHERE `device_id` = '40' AND `app_type` = 'mysql'] SQL RUNTIME[0.00032902s] Including: applications/mysql.inc.php mysql SQL[SELECT * FROM `applications` WHERE `device_id` = '40' AND `app_type` = 'mysql' AND `app_instance` IS NULL] SQL RUNTIME[0.00021815s] + SQL[INSERT INTO `applications` (`device_id`,`app_type`,`app_instance`) VALUES ('40','mysql','')] SQL RUNTIME[0.00914192s] ERROR[Error in query: (Duplicate entry '40-mysql-' for key 'dev_type_inst') 1062] ---snip--- SQL[SELECT * FROM `applications` WHERE `device_id` = '38' AND `app_type` = 'apache'] SQL RUNTIME[0.00032187s] Including: applications/apache.inc.php apache SQL[SELECT * FROM `applications` WHERE `device_id` = '38' AND `app_type` = 'apache' AND `app_instance` IS NULL] SQL RUNTIME[0.00016117s] + SQL[INSERT INTO `applications` (`device_id`,`app_type`,`app_instance`) VALUES ('38','apache','')] SQL RUNTIME[0.00899100s] ERROR[Error in query: (Duplicate entry '38-apache-' for key 'dev_type_inst') 1062] ---snip--- The hosts are newly added. I also did a restore of the observium machine because I thought I somehow broke it by adding and testing... but the problems return with readding the hosts. The graphs are showing mainly nothing which is not surprising I think The grahics are there but no values.... I noticed that the demo installation shows similar problems or. graphics, at least for the mysql. Apache seems to work there which it doesn't for me. http://demo.observium.org/apps/app=mysql/ Additionally I have problems removing a group definition. When you click "delete" it always shows "edit" which it makes hard to remove the group because of a typo. Can anyone help me? Am I doing something wrong? Thank you, Best regards Nils

New alert options
by Anders Johansson 17 Dec '15

17 Dec '15

Hi, After upgrading to the latest Observium (pro) I've noticed a lot of new alerting destination options. Just curios. * Are they all implemented or just in UI? * If any are activated, how do I configure them? We have internal email to SMS gateways, would it be possible to create one that uses a specific SMS template? I'd like to keep my sms messages short and don't mind creating one myself. When I looked at the code last time it didn't seems to be to much trouble, but perhaps it easier know when some of the code might be written? //Anders

Re: [Observium] update.php fails to run on latest svn release 7273
by Jason Scholl 17 Dec '15

17 Dec '15

Deleting and re-syncing includes didn't work, though I was able to get it to run successfully by swapping these two lines in update.php include_once("includes/definitions.inc.php"); include("includes/functions.inc.php"); get_obs_attrib is defined in 'includes/common.inc.php', but that is only getting included into update.php through 'includes/functions.inc.php'.

update.php fails to run on latest svn release 7273
by Jason Scholl 16 Dec '15

16 Dec '15

I just attempted to upgrade to release 7273 and update.php fails to run. It gives no output (just return code 255), and logs nothing to update-errors.log or any other log file. My php skills are pretty weak, but a bit of "got here" debugging lead me through the following. includes/update/update.php 21: include_once("includes/definitions.inc.php"); #bailed on this line includes/definitions.inc.php 513: $rev_old = @get_obs_attrib('current_rev'); #bailed on this line I wasn't able to track it down any further than that because I couldn't even seem to get get_obs_attrib to execute. As a last ditch effort, I also tried commenting out all of my config except the absolutely required pieces, but it still failed in the same way. Is anyone else having this problem or have any ideas?

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?

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

Arista Light levels reading

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?

With RH 6.6 and 6.7 (I've not tried earlier) I've found that putting realStorageUnits 0 in snmpd.conf (and obviously restarting the daemon) appears to provide a fix.

We have a 120TB XFS system that is reporting on 4.4TB and alerting because SNMP is reporting the wrong values. snmpwalk -mALL -v2c -{COM} {HOST} hrStorageTable | grep 40 HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageIndex.40 = INTEGER: 40 HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageType.40 = OID: HOST-RESOURCES-TYPES::hrStorageFixedDisk HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.40 = STRING: /home HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageAllocationUnits.40 = INTEGER: 4096 Bytes HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageSize.40 = INTEGER: 1186465536 HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageUsed.40 = INTEGER: 1036605829 HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageUsed.44 = INTEGER: 666446640 Some forums have indicated this can be resolved by upgrading to 64 bit integers but I am not an SNMP expert. Has anyone seen this behavior and if so how do we work around it? In the HPC world this is a small name space so I worry about monitoring storage on our Lustre FS.

mod_auth_kerb

Hi!, is anyone using external authentication with kerberos?, I have an old version (4586) running without issues with sles11+apache+kerberos but trying to run a current release (7203) on the same host, it's like apache doesn't accept the user/password pair (keeps asking for them). It might be a misconfiguration, but I would like to know if anyone else is using a similar configuration nowadays or has comments about it. Regards, -- Ciro Iriarte http://iriarte.it --

Alerting - match multiple ASNs ?
by Robert Williams 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
