Graph errors and units
by Robin Cook 04 Jun '15

04 Jun '15

Hello, I am hoping someone can help me understand/confirm my thoughts on what some of the numbers actually mean in the errors graph. For example I have an interface which is showing Packets/sec Now Avg Min Max Errors Rx 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 Tx 3.22m 898.64u 0.00 3.23m Discards Rx 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 Tx 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 Am I right in saying this interface is not discarding any packets, but is encountering errors when transmitting? As for the values of 3.22m and 898.64u are these absolute values, e.g. 3.22 errors a second? Or because of the m is it 0.00322 errors a second? Being a 10−3 many thanks, Robin --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE READ: The information contained in this e-mail is confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.

Problems after SVN upgrade
by Curtis Langford 03 Jun '15

03 Jun '15

We are currently running: Observium 0.14.11.6003 Apache 2.2.22 (Ubuntu) PHP 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.15 MySQL 5.5.40-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 SNMP NET-SNMP 5.4.3 RRDtool 1.4.7 I navigated to the /opt/observium directory and ran: svn update This succeed then I proceeded to run: root@observium:/opt/observium# ./discovery.php -u Observium 0.14.11.6003 Discovery PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function print_obsolete_config() in /opt/observium/discovery.php on line 48 At this point everything seemed fine so far as logging in, the graphing etc. I then rebooted the server for good measure. When it came back up, I could hit the login screen and authenticate, but beyond that, a blank screen. Any ideas?

Draw Error - php/rrd?
by Clark Smith 03 Jun '15

Hi, I am experiencing the "red" draw errors for all of my devices/nodes/entries. It would seem that apache/php is not parsing the rrd command correctly? The RRDs are being populated with the polling scripts: - No errors when poller.php is run (poller.php -h 5 -d | grep ERROR) - Real, recent data inside the rrd (rrdtool info <rrd file>) The RRDs are erroring on the php page, for example: - Performance and Output RRDTool Output: ERROR: Unused Arguments "" in command : AREA:usage_cdef0#FFC344:Intel Core i3-4010U @ 1.70GHz : Total time: 0.013 | RRDtool time: 0.012s - RRDTool Command rrdtool graph /tmp/rVDiXfJ3oeTNxmbX.png -g --lower-limit 0 --upper-limit 100 --start 1433201153 --end 1433287553 --width 1159 --height 300 -c BACK#EEEEEE00 -c SHADEA#EEEEEE00 -c SHADEB#EEEEEE00 -c FONT#000000 -c CANVAS#FFFFFF00 -c GRID#a5a5a5 -c MGRID#FF9999 -c FRAME#5e5e5e -c ARROW#5e5e5e -R normal --font LEGEND:8:'DejaVuSansMono' --font AXIS:7:'DejaVuSansMono' --font-render-mode normal -E COMMENT:'Load % Now Min Max Avg' COMMENT:'\l' DEF:usage0=/opt/observium/rrd/node.domain.com/processor-hr-196608.rrd:usage… DEF:usage0min=/opt/observium/rrd/node.domain.com/processor-hr-196608.rrd:us… DEF:usage0max=/opt/observium/rrd/node.domain.com/processor-hr-196608.rrd:us… CDEF:usage_cdef0=usage0,1,/ CDEF:usage_cdef0min=usage0min,1,/ CDEF:usage_cdef0max=usage0max,1,/ AREA:usage_cdef0#FFC344:'Intel Core i3-4010U @ 1.70GHz ': GPRINT:usage0:LAST:%5.1lf%s GPRINT:usage0min:MIN:%5.1lf%s GPRINT:usage0max:MAX:%5.1lf%s GPRINT:usage0:AVERAGE:%5.1lf%s'\n' COMMENT:'\n' HRULE:0#555555 RRD processes leftover in running memory: http 4205 0.0 0.0 0 0 ?

Hi Phillip, Thanks for the information, and I'll keep a copy of this mail for your offer. I'll get in touch with my purchasing department and see what they can offer, not holding my breath!.

I can resell your trust a licence on purchase order basis I suppose, but there would be a small markup involved for the processing & 42-60 days credit your purchasing department will invariably want. It might be worth pointing out this route will cost more - that seemed to be the requisite incantation for purchasing to fess up to having a card last time I did this dance.

Hi Arthur, That's really useful - thanks. I'll give it a try. From: observium [mailto:observium-bounces@observium.org] On Behalf Of Arthur Bommele (DataByte) Sent: 01 June 2015 17:30 To: Observium Network Observation System Subject: Re: [Observium] Contact for subscription and another question Hi, WMI stuff works for Exchange (2010). But you need to compile your own wmic on your Observium server and copy it to /usr/bin. Example: http://techedemic.com/2014/09/17/installing-wmic-in-ubuntu-14-04-lts-64- bit/ Set some config parameters in /opt/observium/config.php. $config['wmic'] = "/usr/bin/wmic"; $config['wmi']['domain'] = "DOMAIN"; $config['wmi']['user'] = "USER"; $config['wmi']['pass'] = "PASSWORD"; Edit the exchange_trans_smtp.inc.php script perhaps. See: http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBSERVIUM-1259 Manually enable the wmi module under device settings under the tab modules in Observium, and under the wmi tab enable Exchange. As well as make the WMI user account (same one as specified in config.php) available on the Exchange server. See: http://observium.org:8080/browse/OBSERVIUM-518 (and the attachment PDF there) Do notice the warning there: use at own risk!

IP SLA
by Jeffrey d'Ambly 31 May '15

31 May '15

Hello, I am using the observium professional edition and I’ve been looking into configuring IP SLA on all my cisco devices to monitor our WAN. I have the following config on two devices to just test the waters Destination device config ip sla responder source device config ip sla 1 udp-jitter 10.34.36.2 16384 source-ip 10.34.36.1 frequency 300 ip sla schedule 1 start-time now My question is what does the community do as a best practice for IP SAL configurations. As I have it configure now it’s send 10 packets every 5 minutes. This seems like a bad idea because what if there was a network blip between the 5 minute run time? If there was packet loss I would like observium to detect it, and send out an alert. Do I need to configure the ip sla service to constantly run? And if so how do I make sure all that data is there when observium polls it next. —Jeff

CareFlight QLD
by Stephen Penfold 28 May '15

28 May '15

Good Morning/Afternoon, We are currently trialling Observium on several of network components and so far are impressed with the community version however threshold and state alerting is an important feature that would complete the package for us and enable us to deploy it network wide. With Careflight being a non-for-profit organisation and the IT department being a ‘cost’ department our budget is heavily scrutinised and any cost has to be suitably justified. Although we are impressed with Observium and believe it would be a great solution for monitoring our remote sites throughout Queensland, unfortunately we doubt that the cost would be approved by the higher powers as this is something that is currently ‘out of budget’. So this leads us to ask, would it be possible to get a discount/donation on the subscription charge for the professional version of Observium for CareFlight? Any help would be greatly appreciated and please feel free to contact us if you need to. Looking forward to your reply and thanks for your time.
