Re: [Observium] Fwd: NTP Graphs

Finally, I managed to have the APP tab, however 2 problems still persist: 1. The NTP Graphs and PDNS the show nothing, just error graph not drawing 2. Under device setting - application I disabled the ntp and pdns application and then they disappeared and I have the message No applications found on this device. however they still are in the folder root@banana:/usr/lib/observium_agent/local# ls -l total 8 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3211 Oct 1 12:00 ntpd -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3211 Oct 1 12:00 powerdns-recursor What's wrong with my observium??? :( Thank You Federico 2015-10-01 8:33 GMT+01:00 Federico Olivieri <lvrfrc87(a)gmail.com>: > Hi Adam, > > I tried to re-install Unix Agent from scratch and I still have a problem. > I double cheked the permission and all files belong to root:root with chmod > +x.

More Observium integrations with rancid
by Robbie Wright 30 Sep '15

30 Sep '15

So we've got rancid integration working (thanks Adam and others) in Observium for all of our Mikrotik devices and it is working great. We've got a few Ubiquiti EdgeRouters (based on Vyatta) that we'd like to get hooked up with rancid as well, but the Observium integration confuses me a bit. Do we edit the cloginrc file with the info for how to log into EdgeRouters? I would have assumed we would normally use a different group to tell rancid how to pull config's but everything is just in the Observium group. How does everyone setup rancid to pull down more than one equipment manufacturer's gear? Has anyone pulled config's through rancid into Observium from EdgeRouters?

Small feature request
by Attila Nagy 28 Sep '15

28 Sep '15

Hi All! One colleague of mine recently met this little (let's call it) glitch, and as he is rather new to the software, he had a hard time solving it (he had to ask me to get introduced into the concept of disabled devices, and the place to search for :)). So when one wants to add a new device, and it already exists, Observium writes a simple error message, like: "Already got device x.y.z.net." What I would like to suggest is two things: 1. make the device name in this error message clickable as anywhere else. This way the novice user can click on the host and see that it's really there 2. if the device is disabled, maybe indicate it in this message, like "Already got device x.y.z.net only disabled" This way the novice user would see why he didn't found the device in the first place. Now that I think of it again, the second one is rather overkill, but the first one would be an easy but logical advancement. Regards, Tylla

Geolocation and Mapping
by Adam Armstrong 28 Sep '15

28 Sep '15

Hi Guys, As some of you might already have noticed, MapQuest have changed the policies on their geolocation API, breaking our previous geolocation defaults. We briefly switched the default API to Open Street Maps, but due to the large Observium userbase they weren't able to support our request load, and we've since had to switch to Yahoo's geolocation API. If you've kept the subscription version up to date, you should already have these new defaults. The community version can change the geolocation API in the config.php, but doesn't currently support the Yahoo API, which will come in the next release. Details for settings can be found at : http://www.observium.org/docs/config_options/#syslocation-configuration Observium also has support for Yandex and Google geolocation, and though Google's geolocation works best, it can only be used with a commercial license, so that can only be enabled by organisations with such a license. This means that some addresses which previously geolocated may not geolocate properly now (each API has its own quirks when it comes to parsing addresses, so ones which worked before may not work now, and vice-versa!). We're investigating setting up our own geolocation and map imaging servers, along with switching to a new mapping library to try to remove reliance on external organisations. Thanks, adam.

Any Materials for Observium new starter?
by Peter Ekwuno 28 Sep '15

28 Sep '15

Hi All, My company just decided that we will be using Observium as the network monitoring on new network environment and the server hosting the Observium is set up and running by one of the Engineers. However, I will be the engineer managing the platform and I’m very much new to the product. More so, I have looked on the web site and Google, it seems that there aren’t enough comprehensive video or guide on how to manage the product bearing in mind that I am new to Linux platform. Please can some one point me to the right direction to get the basic materials needed for Observium?

Separate emails for alerts sent to contacts
by Christopher Pole 28 Sep '15

28 Sep '15

Hi, I'm looking at using Observium contacts + alerts to replace some alerting we do for customers using Nagios. Is it possible to send a separate email to the primary device contact and any additional contacts specified for alerts in the contact section rather than populating the to field with all recipients on a single email? If not would this be difficult to implement? We'd prefer not to expose the internal email address that receives our alerts to our customers if possible. Thanks, Chris

Would it be possible to add a Total Graph for specific Heath statistics, similar to how the total graphs are displayed for Peering, Transit, and Core port types? What I am interested in is essentially adding values already collected by Observium from a handful of devices (rack PDU's) to determine the combined Current in amps and Power in watts to graph and track power consumption across an entire row or even datacenter. We can see this information per-rack from the PDU device already added to Observium, but for our datacenter managers it would be useful to track power consumption across the whole room or suite. In several of our POPs power is provided so we cannot poll the UPS itself- only our own rack PDUs connected to the facility's power bus. Even then, most have A and B side power so we have two PDUs per rack. To the end, I have created a device group by sensor sorting "pdu" device names and filtering for their output values. However, the built-in aggregate graphs show each device's data on one graph and doesn't combine them for a total. Further, my filter seems to pull many values labeled "Output" including voltage and amperage as well as wattage. Any suggestions to refine my filter to get one group for Amps and another for Watts? Please see the screenshots below. Most PDU's are APC model AP8941. I admit this would really only be useful for the "Power" and "Current" health monitors, as items like voltage and temperature are really only useful per-device. Even then, these total graphs would have the most value being filtered to a specific set of devices and likely by location. Maybe a total graph display under /groups may be more useful than one under /health/metric=power or /health/metric=current? Thank you! https://observium/group/group_id=6/ https://observium/group/group_id=6/view=basic/agg_graph=graph/

Alert notification
by Ondrej Beran 24 Sep '15

24 Sep '15

Hello, today I have updated version 6531 to 7038 and I still receive the same alert notification every 5 minute. Is it possible to change this notification to receive this alert only once when the service is down and than when it is renewed, not repeatedly ? defaults.inc.php $config['alerts']['interval'] = '31536000'; // How frequently to re-send a notification for a continuing alert condition // In seconds. Default is 1 day. Thank you Ondrej

Problem on syslog with HP devices

Dears, good morning! We have a problem in the syslog system. The logs of HP network equipment appear with a 'prefix' %% 10 in the attribute 'program' and this greatly hinders the display of logs and selecting the 'program' from the menu. Please could check this question for future updates?

Hello, I installed community version through Turnkey appliance and drive a test with 25 network devices. Then I ran unto subscription version and I have noticed port-channel members are not appearing anymore in the port list, for example, in a 4500 VSS. The exaclly same devices are correctly showing port-channel and interface members top right column. What could this be caused by? Thanks in advance, Miguel

Connect via SSH Feature
by Johnson, Edward A. 22 Sep '15

22 Sep '15

Hopefully this is a newer feature, otherwise I totally overlooked this over the past year! [cid:ACFFBBBC-9380-48CA-9824-300B0B1F51C2] Is there a way to customize these connect commands? We have different usernames for our switches and linux boxes than the username that we log into Observium.
