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

by Simon Smith 28 Apr '15

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

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

Application alerts, e.g. Exchange/MSSQL
by Colin Stubbs 20 Apr '15

20 Apr '15

Hi Observium Developers, What's the situation with moving towards being able to alert on WMI apps, e.g. Exchange/MSSQL data? e.g. alert if submission queue size >= X It looks as if there's been some work on moving towards this based on the 'app_state' column in the 'applications-state' table... but only for MSSQL, as the current exchange.inc.php doesn't even serialize and insert an app_data in there. Is there a development plan for alerts on WMI apps ? Happy to contribute towards it, but I'd like to avoid wasting time working with what's currently there if a completely different direction is going to be taken. Thanks -Colin

NetApp filer graphs for Disk IO and Network IO are all NaN
by Peter Loron 16 Apr '15

16 Apr '15

We're running Observium Pro 0.15.4.6386, and I have added our NetApp 2230 filers. The filers are running v8.2.2 Cluster. I'm getting some data, but the graphs in Observium for Network I/O and Disk I/O are all NaN. Any ideas? I'm willing to poke into the issue (bad interpretation of returned values? Need updated OID?), but not sure where to start. Thanks. -Pete

Maximum length for interface descriptions?
by Andrew Plas 15 Apr '15

15 Apr '15

Greetings, I've been on the Observium mailing list for a while, and this is my first inquiry. I have been using Observium for about a year now and continue to be impressed with the product and appreciate the active community on this list. I am attempting to use the default interface description parser outlined in: http://www.observium.org/wiki/Interface_Description_Parsing. However, I notice that if the interface descriptions are too long, either the "Notes" field or the "Circuit" field does not display. In searching through the mailing list archives, I hadn't found a specific answer to this. For example, if I have an interface description like so: description Cust: CustomerA's Full Name MPLS [20Mbps] (Carrier Name) {00/ABCD/000000//ABCD} I receive this output under Ports>Customers page: [image: Inline image 1] And if I adjust the interface description to exclude the "Notes" field, the "Circuit" field displays properly. description Cust: CustomerA's Full Name MPLS [20Mbps] {00/ABCD/000000//ABCD} [image: Inline image 2] Doing an snmpwalk, I do see the the full description in both cases. snmpwalk -c SNMPSTRING -v 2c ng-511-sw-edge1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.2.1.1.28 <omitted> iso.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.2.1.1.28.10610 = STRING: "Cust: CustomerA's Full Name MPLS [20Mbps] (Carrier Name) {00/ABCD/000000//ABCD}" Is there a maximum length that the parser will allow? Is this just a matter of column width on the "Ports" pages? I notice on other ports, when a customer has a really long name it does roll over to another line. Any reason the "Circuit" or "Notes" fields can't? For better or worse, I'd like as much useful information on the dashboard as possible and unfortunately some of these carrier's circuit ID's are very long... My equipment is a Cisco 3750E and I am currently running Observium Professional at version 0.15.4.6378 Thank you for any and all input!

Re: [Observium] Alerting on BGP Ucast prefixes
by Pedersen, Sean 15 Apr '15

15 Apr '15

The only BGP-related metrics at the moment are bgpPeerState, bgpPeerAdminStatus, and bgpFsmEstablishedTime. The prefix data might be graphed, but the same data might not necessarily be available via the alerting system. I’d like to see that kind of alerting as well! Though I don’t think it’d replace something more robust like BGPMon. Plus, it could get quite chatty unless you could set limits on route changes. From: Michael Vieth Reply-To: Observium Network Observation System Date: Wednesday, April 15, 2015 at 7:48 AM To: Observium Network Observation System Subject: [Observium] Alerting on BGP Ucast prefixes I am ecstatic that unicast prefix is graphed on Observium. Is there a way to alert on a change in the number of routes being advertised? For example, say I am receiving 500 routes from a peer, and that drops to 430, is that an alert-able event? (Sorry if this is a repeated question, I am having difficulty finding detailed information on alerts outside of the wiki that just has general alerts documented.)

Re: [Observium] WIFI AP with sane SNMP
by Adam Armstrong 14 Apr '15

14 Apr '15

I've been working with Ruckus's zoneflex devices, the SNMP is quite well laid out and they don't seem to die. They've already partial support in observium, with more coming when I get time :) If you find something else with similarly well structured MIBs (radios, wlans, ssids, etc all nicely enumerated) support can probably be extended to that too. Assuming of course we don't embargo russian SNMP traffic before then :D Adam.

excluding servers from alert checks
by Patrick Marquetecken 14 Apr '15

14 Apr '15

Hi, I'm trying to exclude some servers from a check, but it does not work. Check Conditions processor_usage greater 80 Device match: * notequals db-02 notequals man-01 Entity match * But when I run regenerate the two machines have always the alerts enabled. removing the * from Device match don't help either. A second question, is it possible to suppress alert checking during a certain period , I'll do off site backup each day that triggers this alert. The alert check: Traffic exceeds 85% with a delay of 2 If I put the delay higher I will not receive 'real' alerts.

PFSense
by Jason Vanlandingham 10 Apr '15

10 Apr '15

I'm considering replacing my Cisco 2821 with a PC-based router in the near future. (I'm currently thinking PFSense or Freesco, but I haven't really started research in depth yet.) I'm sure someone (probably several someones) out there is using Observium to monitor one of these devices, and I'm looking for a bit of feedback on how the process goes and what kind of info you receive. Thank you in advance!
