Rancid
by Lyndon Labuschagne 07 Sep '15

07 Sep '15

Hi All I see rancid has a “Latest" tab is there an option to view the previous versions? Also after a slight tweak I have UBNT backups too, just not the Air-fibre as yet there is actually a slight difference in the rancid script for those, and I think all the Ubiquity radios are just associated to AirOS or at least a on the CE release I have for testing purposes Lyndon Labuschagne [cid:image001.jpg@01D0D50C.B78C6660] Ground Floor 76 Kyalami Blvd. Kyalami Office Park T: 010 001 6100 C: 084 888 1017 F: 086 768 3587 E: lyndonl(a)mobiletorque.co.za<mailto:lyndonl@mobiletorque.co.za> W: www.mobiletorque.co.za<http://www.mobiletorque.co.za>

Availability Graphing
by Lyndon Labuschagne 07 Sep '15

07 Sep '15

Hi all I have looked around but don't see any information around availability graphing. What we are looking for is a graph per device that can show if there have been any communication drops? I suppose alerts based on packetloss will tell us if there have been issues, but it would be nice to retrospectively go back a day or week etc. Sent from my iPhone

Hi Team we just recently added Ruckus Zone Director at some customer site. The Zone Director gets recognized as a Wireless Controller. However no tab with wireless is present. Should there be already some Ruckus support or is this still in development? Thanks Basile

A few Questions Regarding Observium
by Lyndon Labuschagne 04 Sep '15

04 Sep '15

Hi All So a few questions around the paid subscription and supported devices etc. In the paid version we have more frequent updates, I assume that some of the issues I see now with supported devices may well be already fixed, I would be interested to hear from any paid subscription users what your experiences are, either on or off list is fine with me. We are really impressed with the support level on the Cisco equipment. Obviously the more useful the MIB files are and the devices support for SNMP the more information is obtainable by Observium. We do however make use of other vendor equipment that is not on the supported list and although the basics of these devices work, more information would / could be available based on the device and the MIB files. We make use of EdgeCore / Accton switches, Alcoma Microwave equipment, and Ubiquiti, First off Ubiquiti support seems spotty, I see the FROGFOOT MIBs seem to be the default and although the UBNT MIBs are in the mibs directory I have not at yet seen a device that seems to use the UBNT MIBs. I would love to see RSSI noise, Capacity etc, obviously dependant on the radio / MIB ability, a few years ago we used Cacti and there was a plugin that did support the radio levels etc for the Stations so it must be possible via SNMP. Unless I am missing something I don't see these graphs. I know that UBNT’s SNMP support have generally been crap to say the least, combine that with some “interesting” hardwarre snmp v1…. Tough Switch and the quasi 5 or 8 port setup that is actually only 2 ports etc etc. Alcoma is a fairly extensively used radio in both the licensed and ISM bands and they do have a fairly comprehensive looking MIB, we would be very interested in having much more detailed graphing and monitoring. EdgeCore These switches also offer a fairly extensive MIB file and support. We would be happy to look at paying for development work to be done to support these hardware platforms if we decide to use Observium. How to we go about requesting development work to be done? Just a side note. We use the new airfibre radios and have noticed that Observium shows the in-band managed IP (management vlan) to show as down, even though this is the IP that Observium gets the SNMP details / polling from, I will check the bugs and see if this has been logged as yet. Thanks Lyndon

Alerts
by Serghei Golipad 04 Sep '15

04 Sep '15

Hi Guys, We seem to be getting alerts for ignored ports. This seems to happen when port was ignored after an alert check has been created, to fix this we have to delete and re-create alert check each time port needs to be ignored. Any chance this can happen automatically?

Override IfAlias
by Jarno Tensen 01 Sep '15

01 Sep '15

Hi all, Does anyone know how to override the ‘ifAlias’ setting? Just like the ‘sysLocation’? We have a lot of network devices which are not able to give a port description, what is very annoying cause we have to go physical to a switch to find out which device is behind the port. I know a lot of settings can be configured in config.php, does anyone know a configline to manual setup a portdescription (ifAlias)? Many thanks in advance!

Guys, I have checked the guides however Not seeing how to configure CPU alerting based on multiple CORE CPU's. We have quite a number of windows virtual machines with 2 - 16+ cores and currently use "processor_usage greater 65" however this is alerting when a single core reaches >65% What is the best way to manage this?

Introduction, polling time questions, other bits
by Aaron Finney 01 Sep '15

01 Sep '15

Hello, We've just started a POC project to determine if Observium is a good fit for our environment, and so far have been very pleased with the feature-richness and general usability of the entire system. In fact, we've discovered several things in our environment that were immediately addressable. Cheers! One thing that's been a head-scratcher for us so far is the length of the polling time for our Juniper switches...anywhere from ~2 mins for a 48 port EX ToR switch, to 8 minutes for a two-member QFX aggregate switch. It's the port polling that's so costly according to the output of the poller script, around 450 seconds on the QFXs. I've tried some basic troubleshooting...disabling MAC accounting, disabling all ports for polling/alerting, etc...but it hasn't helped. Is there something simple I'm missing in the config that's causing it to bog down on the port module? Aside from the time, it's not hurting the QFXs, but our poor EX4500s sometimes spike to 90% CPU during polling. For context, the Observium POC system is located in the same datacenter as the devices we're polling against, and the QFXs are 96 port 5ks, with uplinks to our EX ToR switches. Any ideas/suggestions you have would be much appreciated! Also, I did add support for Baytech PDUs; if there's interest, I'd be happy to provide the code. Aaron

SYSLOG Issues
by Sandy Millar 30 Aug '15

30 Aug '15

All I am having two issues with syslog, and wonder if someone could give me some guidance. Firstly, syslog filters seems a little inconsistent, for example:- This works - $config['syslog']['filter'][] = 'Cannot statfs /run/user/1000/gvfs'; This doesn’t - $config['syslog']['filter'][] = 'PERMISSION'; Unfortunately, the custom filters I need don’t work, any thoughts? And secondly, Observium appears to randomly stop reporting syslog records from clients. I have followed some of the suggestions from the mail list and determined that the missing records do appear in the debug.log but not in the console, and I am at a loss where else to look. I am using Syslog-NG, which to the best of my knowledge is correctly configured, and Observium CE 0.15.6430. Thanks in advance Kind regards Sandy Millar

Groups based on VLANs
by Anders Johansson 30 Aug '15

Hi, I want to track a patricidal VLAN and their ports on a bunch of switches, tough that the Group function in Observium could do that for me :) However I can't find any reference to VLAN, tried to use "ifVlan" but not sure that works, or I didn't do that part correctly. The purpose is to track an internet facing vlan to easy see port graphs and to be able to create alerts from these. //Anders
