Clavister device as new OS
by Gregory Storme 10 Dec '15

10 Dec '15

Hi, I'm trying to add Clavister cOS as a supported OS, but without success.What I've done: - Edit includes/definitions/os.inc.php:$os = "clavister";$config['os'][$os]['vendor'] = "Clavister";$config['os'][$os]['text'] = "Clavister cOS";$config['os'][$os]['type'] = "network";$config['os'][$os]['icon'] = "clavister";$config['os'][$os]['graphs'][] = "device_bits";$config['os'][$os]['graphs'][] = "device_processor";$config['os'][$os]['graphs'][] = "device_mempool";$config['os'][$os]['sysObjectID'][] = ".1.3.6.1.4.1.5089.1";$config['os'][$os]['sysDescr'][] = "/^Clavister/";$config['os'][$os]['mibs'][] = "CLAVISTER-MIB";$config['os'][$os]['mibs'][] = "CLAVISTER-SMI-MIB"; - create includes/discovery/os/clavister.inc.php:<?php if (strstr($sysObjectId, ".1.3.6.1.4.1.5089.1")) { $os = "clavister"; } else if (preg_match("/^Clavister/", $sysDescr)) { $os = "clavister"; } - created the CLAVISTER-MIB & CLAVISTER-SMI-MIB (downloaded from the vendor website) under the mibs folder When I add such a device and run the discovery & poller, it seems as the Clavister MIBs are not used.The OS type is detected though? ##### devicename [338] ##### o OS clavister o Last poll duration 0.42 seconds o Last Polled 2015-12-10 01:28:30 o SNMP Version v2c o Device status Device is reachable by PING (0.36ms) and SNMP (7.20ms) o Modules Excluded ipmi, junose-atm-vp, cisco-ipsec-flow-monitor, cisco-remote-access-monitor, cisco-cef, arista-software-ip-forwarding,cipsec-tunnels, cisco-cbqos, cisco-eigrp, netscaler-vsvr, aruba-controller o Disabled Globally unix-agent, cisco-vpdn, wmi o Modules Enabled system, os, sensors, status, processors, mempools, storage, netstats, hr-mib, ucd-mib, ipSystemStats, ports, bgp-peers, toner,ucd-diskio, wifi, p2p-radios, ospf, sla, mac-accounting, loadbalancer, entity-physical, applications, fdb-table, graphs,oids ##### Module Start: system ##### o Uptime 8 days, 1h 57m 55s o sysObjectID .1.3.6.1.4.1.5089.1 o snmpEngineID o sysDescr Clavister cOS Core 10.21.02.01-25325 o sysName n/a o Location N/A o Module time 0.0578s ##### Module Start: os ##### o OS Poller Generic...

Hi everyone, We've just updated to revision 7236 and got the following error. -- Updating database/file schema 251 -> 252 ... (db) done (1 errors). In /opt/observium/logs/update-errors.log we see the following error [2015/12/09 19:35:36 +0000] discovery.php(19989): Query: ALTER TABLE `authlog` CHANGE `user_agent` `user_agent` TEXT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci NULL; [2015/12/09 19:35:36 +0000] discovery.php(19989): Error: (1054) Unknown column 'user_agent' in 'authlog' Should we do anything for this?

Cisco ASA - inaccurate traffic for one specific interface
by Ben Maschke 09 Dec '15

09 Dec '15

Hi guys, I've added a new ASA to Observium. The issue is that for one interface no packets have been collected so far: [image: Inline images 1] But in the details you can see that traffic has been collected: [image: Inline images 2] The result is that the overall traffic graph is inaccurate (traffic should be ~600Mbit/s): [image: Inline images 3] Cheers

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 :-)
by Richard Müller 08 Dec '15

08 Dec '15

Hy *, I also experienced this issue some minutes ago. My reason was that "someone" (svn?) created a .index file in the MIB Directory, which caused snmpwalk to die: root@horstname:/opt/observium# /usr/bin/snmpget -v2c -c '***' -Pu -OQUst -m SNMPv2-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp 'udp':'horstname2':'161' sysObjectID.0 sysUpTime.0 add_mibdir: strings scanned in from /opt/observium/mibs/rfc/.index are too large. count = 136 MIB search path: /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp Cannot find module (SNMPv2-MIB): At line 0 in (none) sysObjectID.0: Unknown Object Identifier (Sub-id not found: (top) -> sysObjectID) sysUpTime.0: Unknown Object Identifier (Sub-id not found: (top) -> sysUpTime) removing the /opt/observium/mibs/rfc/.index file fixed the glitch - does anybody know whats the purpose of these files and where do they come from?

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

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.

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.

monitor tmpfs storage
by Simon Smith 04 Dec '15

04 Dec '15

Hi All, just moved our RRDs to tmpfs storage, and WOW I noticed a speed difference, not only in the graphs, but also in the IO load should of looked at http://observium.org/docs/persistent_ramdisk/ in the past DOH! however i’ve just noticed the observium isn’t showing it as a storage mount? can observium monitor actually monitor it at all ? also I’ve set my limit at 10GB as the server has 12GB of RAM, and the RRD folder is currently at 6.8GB bit of a stupid question but what happens if I’m close to the limit? as i knackered? more RAM server? regards Simon - Hestor Ltd

Alert Threshold for CBQoS drops
by Robert Williams 04 Dec '15

04 Dec '15

Hi, Is it possible to have alert elements/metrics which use data collected from CBQoS, like drops for example? Reason for request - we would like to get alerting for certain types of port (CORE for example) where QoS is performing drops. Currently (in another system) we poll a global statistic which gives us the 'total' number of drops per chassis or LC, but this does nothing more than point towards a chassis or line-card. A human then have to pick their way through the CBQoS stats to try to see where it was (if it was big), which very time consumptive. The statistics and framework all appear to be in place within Observium, just need to know if there are some metric conditions which can use CBQoS as a trigger, like ifCBQoSDrops_rate > 10 for example? So, is this already possible? Or should I make a feature request? Cheers all! Robert Williams Custodian Data Centre Email: Robert(a)CustodianDC.com http://www.CustodianDC.com

Everything is DOWN after svn UP :-)
by Gabriel Zamorski 04 Dec '15

04 Dec '15

Hello, Yesterday after upgrading observium (like everyday morning) we got hundreds of alerts. It seems that observium could not connect to any machine using SNMP - I checked this from console via ./poller.php and every server was unreachable, so I had to rollback to the earlier revision. Do you know anything about this? Regards, G.

CBQOS does not appear to work under NX-OS
by Stephen Fulton 04 Dec '15

04 Dec '15

Hi there, I have a Cisco Nexus 7k running the NX-OS 6.2 train, and I've noticed that while Observium picks up on CBQOS for interfaces, there is no data being graphed. Observium does detect the class-maps/policy-maps, but no results in the graphs. There are errors on one port that should be picked up, but I'm not seeing it reflected. What can be done? BTW, I'm using the subscription version, latest stable (0.15.11.7203). -- Stephen

Zenoss Integration Sync
by Rudy Pancaro 04 Dec '15

04 Dec '15

Has anyone every integrated Observium and Zenoss together. Zenoss is another networking monitoring platform, but the platform could use a more friendly GUI. The Observium GUI is very nice. Please let me know if this is possible. I believe that Observium and Nagios integrates with one another, but our organization uses Zenoss. Thank you.

Device check and down alert question
by Ron Culler 03 Dec '15

03 Dec '15

I have noticed that I see down notices in Observium often when the snmp check fails (I have only seen this when checking servers (Windows/Linux). The device is up and a ping/icmp check would see this but because the snmp check had a problem I get a down indication. Sometimes it has to deal with the snmp service on the host being checked hanging or crashing, other times I have seen load or congestion cause it. Is there an option or would it make sense to add a feature that would check snmp first and in the event of an error fall back and do a ping/icmp check to see if the device is up or not? It would be beneficial to see if the server is up and get a notice about a snmp check failure. I could also see a check flow that would check snmp first, if it errored it would check with a ping, if the ping returns wait for the next snmp check before sending the notice or marking the device down.

recreate interface to down/up -event
by Geno 03 Dec '15

03 Dec '15

Hallo, i have the following problem. I server of mine a VPN-Service. This vpn-service restart some times (and with it it recreate a network interface with the same name "vpn-interface"). Observium delete the interface and create a new one (with the same name). The Question, is it possible to detect it and make a down up event out of it (and a mac change)? So it will use the same rrds, graphs and so on. Nice Wishes Geno

Creating a table with Unix-agent
by Daniel Kasen 03 Dec '15

03 Dec '15

Using the unix agent I can create graphs, but what if I wanted to just add a table to the apps tab? Basically what I am trying to do is keep an up-to-date table of custom strings for linux servers. *Daniel Kasen | REDFIN | Data Center Operations Engineerdaniel.kasen(a)redfin.com <daniel.kasen(a)redfin.com> | Tel: 206-859-2826 2025 1st Ave, Ste 500 | Seattle, WA 98121*
