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

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*

Disable CDP neighbour discovery?
by Ulrik Ivers 30 Nov '15

30 Nov '15

Hi, Is it possible to disable neighbour discovery via CDP but still leave it enabled for LLDP? The reason for asking is that we are a 100% LLDP shop, but some equipment run both CDP and LLDP. When looking at the tab "Neighbours" of such a device the neighbours are listed twice, one with protocol LLDP and one with protocol CDP. We would like to only do neighbour discovery via LLDP, if possible. I've looked through the options files and the documentation but haven't been able to find a setting to disable CDP. Regards, /Ulrik Ivers

Our snmp location strings in our devices are on the format of: City, Building, Floor We'd like to have the Location menu on the frontpage being displayed hierarchical something like this: Location City A [3] Building A [3] Floor X [2] Floor Y [1] At the moment the menu looks like this with THREE devices of which TWO have the same location string Location City A, Building A, Floor X City A, Building A, Floor Y Any suggestions would be welcome. Regards, /Ulrik Ivers

App monitoring - What am I missing??
by Scott A. Davis 27 Nov '15

27 Nov '15

Hello - Trying to set up the apache monitor on the same server where Observium is running (I figured that would be easiest). I can't seem to figure out what I am missing. Sorry for being verbose ... Just need to make sure I am covering all my bases. Any suggestions are appreciated. Version Information *Observium CE* 0.15.6.6430 *OS* Linux 2.6.32-573.8.1.el6.x86_64 [amd64] (CentOS 6.7) *Apache* 2.2.15 *PHP* 5.4.44 *Python* Python 2.6.6 *MySQL* 5.5.45 *SNMP* NET-SNMP 5.5 *RRDtool* 1.3.8 * Copied /opt/observium/scripts/observium_agent_xinetd -> /etc/xinetd.d/ [root@zen xinet.d]# ls -la observium_agent_xinetd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 650 Nov 26 18:33 observium_agent_xinetd * Copied /opt/observium/scripts/observium_agent -> /usr/bin [root@zen bin]# ls -la observium_agent -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12K Nov 26 18:31 observium_agent* * Made directories: mkdir /usr/lib/observium_agent /usr/lib/observium_agent/local * Copied /opt/observium/scripts/agent-local/apache -> /usr/lib/observium_agent/local [root@zen local]# ls -la total 64K drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Nov 26 17:46 ./ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K Nov 26 17:43 ../ -rwxrw-rw- 1 1000 1000 2.9K Nov 26 18:31 apache* -rwxrw-rw- 1 1000 1000 51K Nov 26 19:12 mysql* * Edited /etc/xinetd.d/observium_agent_xinetd only_from = 127.0.0.01 ::1 (Also added my reap IPv4 address to that line for good posterity) * Made sure I had port 33602 open on the firewall (and even disabled firewall at times) service xinetd restart [root@zen conf]# service xinetd restart Stopping xinetd: [ OK ] Starting xinetd: [ OK ] * _httpd.conf says:_ ExtendedStatus On <Location /server-status> SetHandler server-status Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.1 Allow from ::1 Allow from <my real IPv4 address> Allow from <my home address> </Location> I can access that just fine. * Ensured the agent port setting in Device Settings->Agent was correct * Ensured the unix-agent module was enabled in Settings->Modules What am I missing? Help. Thank you!!

GeoLocation not correct
by Scott A. Davis 27 Nov '15

27 Nov '15

Hi - Not sure if this is an Observium issue or not, but in all the time I've used the community version, I've never had this problem. My screen shot is here: http://imgur.com/D9waqhG I have 3 servers. Two in TX, which show up accurately, and one in Atlanta, which shows up in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. Observium shows its location as "Unknown" my snmpd.conf is as follows (with XXXXX marking non-relevant info) syslocation Atlanta, Georgia rocommunity XXXXXX sysname tsundoku.XXXXXXX.XXX syscontact scott.a.davis(a)gmail.com I have other servers with similar snmpd.conf on that map showing up fine. For syslocation, I have also tried Atlanta, Atlanta, GA, etc ... Nothing changes. Any reason why this would happen? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Custom OIDs are fantastic
by Tim Vaughan 27 Nov '15

27 Nov '15

Just wanted to say thankyou for adding support for Custom OIDs. Using a combination of this article http://www.maartenmoerman.nl/?p=649 and this one http://awesomeadmin.blogspot.co.uk/2009/11/monitoring-cisco-wireless-contro… I was able to add graphs to track how many clients are on each of our individual access points. So far I think it's working, even if it is a pain to calculate which AP MAC address translates to which OID....
