Newbie - Mini-graphs (Mouseover & Device Title Bar)
by James Mooney 07 May '15

07 May '15

Dear All I've checked the FAQs and document, and apologise upfront if this is a stupid newbie question. I also apologise for using cheapo switches. I think I've followed the nstructions correctly, and my install looks to be okay and working. I've added two switches: Zyxel GS1920-48 and Netgear GS728TXS. Both are communicating and collecting data. In the Devices page, when I hover my mouse over the Zyxel I get graphs for Traffic, Uptime and Ping Response; however when I hover it over the Netgear I only get the Traffic graph (this also applies to the mini-graphs in the Device's title bar). If I use the graph filter I can see I'm collecting Uptime and Ping Response for both switches. Is there a way to configure this? Many thanks in advance, James

Fwd: Mitel alarm check
by Gerry Armstrong 07 May '15

07 May '15

Hi Guys, I am not sure if this is possible but I would like to be able to add a check in Observium that will monitor the state of a Mitel PBX Alarm state and then report what the state actually is. I know what the snmp variables are that I will have to use to achieve this and I can snmpwalk the PBX to get the correct results but I don't understand as yet how to apply this knowledge to Observium. I actually have a perl script that works with Nagios to do this but I prefer the Observium interface. The check the alarm state on the Mitel PBX we can use "snmpwalk -v 2c -c public HOST 1.3.6.1.4.1.1027.4.1.1.2.2.1.0". If the response in INTEGER: 1 then there is no alarm, 2 is MINOR, 3 is MAJOR and 4 is CRITICAL We can then use "snmpwalk -v 2c -c public HOST 1.3.6.1.4.1.1027.4.1.1.2.2.4.1.8" to retrieve the actual alarm details. Any advice welcomed! Thanks, Gerry

PIX ASA
by Jeffrey d'Ambly 07 May '15

07 May '15

I just aded a PIX asa and for some reason it looks like my aggregate graph on the overview tab is not working (see graph below) what’s really odd is that I can see the individual graphs for each of the interfaces. How can I trouble shoot this? [cid:174AA95D-29D7-48D9-A822-C64E08803E74]

Just a point of note, since I'm not near my laptop and can't collect the requested debug information right now... I've got two ASA55xx running 8.2(5) firmware and am not having the problem on those devices. I also am polling a PIX525 running 8.0(4) firmware, and that is the only device where this graph error is showing up.

Whew, thought I was the only one with this problem. Am seeing likewise. Aggregate graph has same error as Jeff, but digging down into the ports screen shows valid data graphs on the individual interfaces.

Ports view, extended Map of neighbours
by Svensson Fredrik A 05 May '15

05 May '15

Hi there! We are using Observium for monitoring and traffic analysis in a cisco environment. Is there any plans of expanding how the Port/map-tool works? It would be great to see and/or be able to expand the map to include all our switches in the same LAN in more than 1 level, or at least know if there are more switches behind another switch in the Map-view. Thanks! / Fredrik

Just started to use observium , it's a great product :) I have a problem with a Core switch Procurve 8212zl, Adding the device with SNMP works great! but after a while all the interfaces gets automatically deleted ..The observium device loggs just shows Interface was marked as DELETED. Anyone knows why this happens?

Error Drawing Graph and more...
by Monico Briseño 04 May '15

04 May '15

Hi, there. I just installed Observium system on Ubuntu server. I followed all instructions on the webpage. However, I found two problems: 1. I add a Linux server. Almost everthing was Ok. However, I couldn't see the graphics. The Observium showed the Error Drawing Graph. 2. I couldn't reach a Windows server with snmp protocol v2 installed. But, the Observium showed the following information: Could not reach 192.168.110.202 with given SNMP parameters using v2c Any ideas?

Friendly Port Naming
by Kenneth Eisner 04 May '15

Greetings List, I'm using the community edition. I've searched the mail list and see comments from March of 2014 about assigning a friendly name to ports. Has there been any movement on this? Is it planned for the community edition any time soon? Thanks,

6880-X Fan Tray Failure
by Chip Pleasants 01 May '15

01 May '15

While setting up Alerts in Observium I noticed both our Cisco 6880-Xs have Fan Tray 1 50V Power Supply status is false. Looking at the show environment I don't see any issues. Anyone else have these boxes reporting similar Alerts? I did see another thread similar to this, but this seems a little bit different. We don't see any issues with our 6500s ( https://www.mail-archive.com/observium@observium.org/msg07354.html). Below is a screen shot output from show environment from one of our boxes.

inodes monitoring
by Juan Asensio Sánchez 01 May '15

01 May '15

Hi all We have a Netapp storage, and apart from used/free space, we need to monitor used/free inodes, because our applications sometimes generate lots of files and we run out of inodes. Can this item be monitored? This data is published by Netapp using SNMP, so I think this is not parsed or displayed in Observium, is it right? If so, can it be enabled? Inodes can also be monitored for local filesystems. Regards.

Disable Alerts Per Location for Downtime
by Johnston, Tom 30 Apr '15

30 Apr '15

Is there a “simple” way to disable alerts for a location? I have some scheduled power outage for a site and was wondering if you can select multiple devices to temporality disable alerts rather than go into each device one by one. I also forward alerts to my phones sms email so it will generate hundreds of sms once they go down. I do have my devices set up with locations though I’m not sure you can do anything with that. -Tom

Newbie questions
by Anders Johansson 29 Apr '15

29 Apr '15

Hi all, My first post here. First I must say that Observium is the most easy looking open source tool I have ever seen :) I'm trying to figure out a few config items that maybe someone can help me with. Autodiscovery If I'm using $config['autodiscovery']['xdp'] = TRUE; and $config['autodiscovery']['snmpscan'] = TRUE; First it does not seems to add any devices discovered with LLDP/CDP, nor have I found a way to do a snmpscan based on my subnets (also added) 1.) Does Autodiscover work as the config file says the feature is not yet added? PTR/DNS Does observium require a PTR record for every device or just a valid host name trough SNMP? How about FQDN? WMI Seems to be a topic not much covered and not really supported, however in the modules section of a device, let's say a server one can find an on/off switch for WMI and also a settings page. Does this mean WMI is somewhat supported or just a GUI glitch? Thanks

Overrride bandwidth on a port?
by Spencer Ryan 28 Apr '15

28 Apr '15

Is there a way to override the bandwidth on a port that I can't change what is reported via SNMP? For example I have a 50Mb MPLS on a 100Mb Ethernet port. I want the % used and % alerting metrics to be based on 50 and not 100. *Spencer Ryan* | Senior Systems Administrator | sryan(a)arbor.net *Arbor Networks* +1.734.794.5033 (d) | +1.734.846.2053 (m) www.arbornetworks.com

Minigraphs without autoscaling
by Jose A Rodriguez 28 Apr '15

28 Apr '15

Hi there! Is there any way to draw the minigraphs (or graphs) for Bits without autoscaling (using max value from the port capabilities)? With autoscaling it's impossible to compare ports... Best regards, Jose

Hi All, not sure if this is a bug with my browser or a bug with Observium I go into one our mikrotik switches, click Health, then into Temperature if i then click the System 0 the page just keeps refreshing and going back the the same page ? it doesn’t appear to be taking me to the Temperature graphs ? i’ve also noticed that the Temperature page isn’t showing any graphs unlike the Storage or Processor pages ? Ive attached some screenshots showing what i mean ? Regards Simon

Disk IO graphs not generating any more
by Kaya Saman 27 Apr '15

Hi, I'm just wondering if the Disk I/O module has been removed? I do remember reading a while ago of something like this but not currently sure... My version of Observium is CE 0.14.11.6000 Nothing has changed in my setup apart from the usual updates. Regards, Kaya

NTPD monitoring script
by AJ Schroeder 27 Apr '15

27 Apr '15

Hello list, I have rewritten the NTPD application monitoring script as a shell script rather than installing PHP on my servers. I have been running this for a few weeks now and haven't noticed any issues with it. I'd like to see how the script works on a larger variety of systems before I would call it finished. Would anyone else on this list like to give it a try? Thanks, AJ Schroeder

Cisco switches not Polling to observium
by Simarpal Rooprai 24 Apr '15

24 Apr '15

Hey guys So as the headline reads im trying to get the graphs working to observium. I have 2 3560 cisco switches running which can ping to observium host, also the host can ping back. i have a community set up xxxx which i tried on my workstation and it works sending to observium. But trying on the switches seems to be a bit more difficult. When running php poller script i cant seem to find any errors when greping so i think to problem is with the cisco conf. When i take a look in the obserivum host under pollerlog it would seem that my workstations was last pollled but not any of the switches, Last Discovered seems to work just fine. So what do you guys think? Im not to sure where the problem is i might be in the linux host, but im not an expert at linux nor php. Do any of you guys think you might be able to help me out ? Also i have tried to remove the device and adding it again but still no luck. In observium i get this message even though i have waited 24 hours: error drawing graph Device not yet polled This device has not yet been successfully polled. System information and statistics will not be populated and graphs will not draw. Please wait 5-10 minutes for graphs to draw correctly. Down here is the short config from my switch : SW02#show run | in snmp snmp-server community XXXX RO snmp-server host 10.2.1.118 version 2c XXXX Best regards Simarpal

WS-SVC-WISM2-K9
by Chip Pleasants 20 Apr '15

20 Apr '15

Hi all, After building a new Observium server our Cisco WISM2's (WS-SVC-WISM2-K9) aren't recognized as Cisco Wireless Controllers any longer. They come up as Generic Devices on the new server. On the old they are recognized as Cisco Wireless Controllers. Is there something I need to change on my side? Thanks, Chip
