added a HP server over snmp
by Casper Allerslev Jensen 18 Sep '15

18 Sep '15

Hi all, I have just added a HP server. added SNMP and set it up. The server connected fine to observium. Now i see Observium has support for HP but the data im getting is pretty mandatory server stuff so im wondering what the HP support is added? or did i do it wrong? As an example i was hoping to get some RAID info on the RAID 1 running on the server with the controller that was shipped. But all i see is C:\ which won't alert me if a disk fail.

odd install issue with the DB
by Lyndon Labuschagne 18 Sep '15

Hi I have no idea what I have done or missed? I have created the user and I can login to the observium database as the observium user, root@nms:/opt/observium# php includes/update/update.php $config['db_host'] = 'localhost'; $config['db_user'] = 'observium'; $config['db_pass'] = ’Not-The-Password'; $config['db_name'] = 'observium'; // Base directory $config['install_dir'] = "/opt/observium"; // Default community list to use when adding/discovering $config['snmp']['community'] = array(“public"); // Authentication Model $config['auth_mechanism'] = "mysql"; // default, other options: ldap, http-auth, please see documentation for config help // Enable alerter (not available in CE) #$config['poller-wrapper']['alerter'] = TRUE; MySQL Error: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) If I try to load the page from my browser I see this $config['db_host'] = 'localhost'; $config['db_user'] = 'observium'; $config['db_pass'] = 'Not-The-Password'; $config['db_name'] = 'observium'; // Base directory $config['install_dir'] = "/opt/observium"; // Default community list to use when adding/discovering $config['snmp']['community'] = array(“public"); // Authentication Model $config['auth_mechanism'] = "mysql"; // default, other options: ldap, http-auth, please see documentation for config help // Enable alerter (not available in CE) #$config['poller-wrapper']['alerter'] = TRUE; MySQL Error: Access denied for user 'lyndonl'@'localhost' (using password: NO) Why it references my username via my browser is even more odd to me?

are page counts possible on a per user basis (in adressbook) of a Ricoh / Aficio MP c305 printer?
by ecaroh 17 Sep '15

17 Sep '15

We got an Aficio MP C305 Printer where we want to get a monthly automated report of printed pages (bw/color) based on a per user basis (addressbook / print code) to make a print accounting possible. We still can count total numbers (also of all in one types like fax, copy, print and divided in colour/bw counts), but no counts on a per user basis. Does anybody knows whether it is generally possible to have per user counts (based on printer addressbook and user print code) and if so is there an oid? We do not need that functionality directly in observium… cause this is not monitoring but reporting, but it would be nice to get them via snmp automated monthly. Thanks in advance. ecaroh — sample for known oids for getting overall general counters. ## AFICO PAGECOUNTERS OIDDEVTOTAL="SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.367.3.2.1.2.19.5.1.9.1" OIDCOPYSW="SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.367.3.2.1.2.19.5.1.9.3" OIDCOPYCL="SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.367.3.2.1.2.19.5.1.9.5" OIDPRTSW="SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.367.3.2.1.2.19.5.1.9.9" OIDPRTCL="SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.367.3.2.1.2.19.5.1.9.11" OIDFAXSW="SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.367.3.2.1.2.19.5.1.9.6" PRINTER="aio.office-factory.net“ after getting counters we make calculations with difference between now and the day before.

Geolocation bugs
by Attila Nagy 17 Sep '15

17 Sep '15

Hi Adam and everyone! I have two small bugs to report. I'm using Observium CE 0.15.6.6430, I'm closely following the mail list, but if the below mentioned glitches/bugs were between solved, then sorry for wasting your time. 1. I had this problem for longer, but now I found the way to formulate it properly. We have sysLocation strings alike this: Qualitis Iroda / Iroda - 1131 Budapest, Béke utca 116 [47.541773,19.085868] Now when I check the "Geolocation" tab in the "Device Settings" I see following in the "Last Update Status": Geocoding ENABLED, try detect device coordinates: by REVERSE query (API: MAPQUEST, LAT: 47.541773, LON: 19.085868) - FOUND GEO API REQUEST: http://open.mapquestapi.com/nominatim/v1/reverse.php?format=json&accept-lan… GEOLOCATION: Hungary (Country), Unknown (State), Budapesti kistérség (County), Budapest (City) GEO COORDINATES: 47.54163 (Latitude), 19.0859 (Longitude) The problem as I see, is that after using the coordinates given in the sysLocation string to make a reverse query to lookup the Country, State, County etc., the geocoding API returns some coordinates which corresponds to THEIR found geolocation. But the geocoding API sometimes can give really offset coordinates, especially for some bigger sites, where it gives back the entrance. So if there are coordinates specified in sysLocation, then they should be used to pinpoint the device, no matter what the geocoding API says. PS: the documentation also says: "But observium anyway will store in DB specified coordinates." But this is currently not true. 2. I stumbled upon this while trying to get the data out of the Last Update Status Field for previous bug. The fields in the "Geolocation" tab in the "Device Settings" are marked with attribute disabled="disabled", and if something should be made writable, then this attribute is removed. I would suggest using the readonly attribute, as that would enable focusing and selecting from the given field. Not to mention the pure logic would tell the same, those fields are unmodifiable, so readonly should be used. Regards, Attila

Subinterfaces in "down" state
by Bjoern Engels 17 Sep '15

17 Sep '15

Dear list, Observium reports sub-interfaces as down even if the parents are administratively down, ex.: set interfaces ge-0/0/0 disable set interfaces ge-0/0/0 unit 0 family ethernet-switching port-mode \ access This raises an alert for ge-0/0/0.0 Is it possible to ignore sub-interfaces if the parents are admin down?

Missing memory history
by Jason Vanlandingham 17 Sep '15

17 Sep '15

I recently made some device changes and ran *discovery.php -h all* and *poller.php -h all*. Shortly after that I noticed that on one Windows 7 Pro box I'm monitoring, I no longer have any physical memory in the memory graph, just virtual memory. The entire history of it disappeared, and it hasn't started new or anything like that. I checked permissions on that workstation's rrd directory, and all looks good. I do have some backups of the rrd directories. Should I restore?

RANCID integration
by Robbie Wright 16 Sep '15

16 Sep '15

Been hacking around with rancid for a bit and stuck on this step: Run this command to create the folder structure: su - rancid /var/lib/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs It is asking for a password, presumably for rancid, which we don't have. Again presuming here, that it was created by the installer. Trying hard to follow the instructions (exactly) and this is where I'm getting hung up. Thanks ahead of time for the help.

Fwd: Does observium support snapshot.
by Varun Nair (Tech-OPS) 16 Sep '15

16 Sep '15

Hey All, Firstly, a big kudos to observium and for making the life of a n/w engineer tad better. :) Now to my query, I have a Subscription Edition installed. Was wondering if there is a way to setup two instances say master/slave where the master polls the data and sends a periodic snapshot to the slave. This is basically for backups. Any pointers in this regard would be much appreciated. Feel free to revert if any questions.

Support for EMC Isilon & NetApp cDOT
by Jesper Frank Nemholt 16 Sep '15

16 Sep '15

Hi! I saw on an old thread that it's a know fact that NetApp cDOT doesn't work well, apparently due to changes in the MIB from NetApp so they don't use the normal structure anymore. A case was opened with NetApp.....was there any traction on that so far ? Secondly, with Isilon it does pull a lot of info by default, but due to Isilon using something called SmartConnect which basically is a round-robin DNS, if you use the cluster name you get a new node every time which confuses Observium quite a lot. Is there a way to make it somehow consolidate or average the data from all nodes in a cluster so I don't have to create each node individually ? /Jesper

Match for Cisco routers but not switches?
by Andrew Plas 16 Sep '15

16 Sep '15

I am looking to create an alert checker to send an alert when an Ethernet interface on a Cisco IOS router goes down- for example when the router is still up and available in monitoring, but a physical link is down due to a local switch failure, carrier CPE down, peer (unamanaged) router down... We receive syslogs of course, but these can occasionally get lost in the flood and not noticed as actionable by NOC staff. Is there an effective way to make a device match for Cisco routers, but not Cisco switches? The OS type both show up as "ios", and I haven't found something router-specific to successfully match on. I can do this individually by device name, but unfortunately our naming scheme isn't specific enough to match them all with *rt* or *wan or similar. As you can see below, I set the device match to "os equals ios" which includes switches that have a ton of link-down-but-enabled ports on them! Thank you, Andrew [image: Inline image 2]

Show client *rate* on wireless clients graph
by Tim Vaughan 15 Sep '15

15 Sep '15

I'm using Observium to track wireless clients on our Cisco wireless controller. It's very useful. However, when I look at the longer-term graphs (monthly, yearly etc.) it's less useful because I'm not sure what it's showing. Is it clients per day, per week or what? For an example, see: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3183918/apelmRwNW7.png. Is there a way to get the legend show the rate rather than just a plain number? -- Mobile: 07868246225 Skype: tvaughan Twitter: twitter.com/tvaughan

Adam, That makes sense. As much as modern technology makes it seem otherwise, someone always needs to spend the time and code it into existence. With the mibs, is it something we would expect to see in time? Is there a way we could help expedite the coding process? I'm curious if there's a way we can contribute to your efforts. If so, please let me know. I'd be happy to take it to my team. We've discussed it once already, and would really like to see additional stats on our kemps. Thank you!
