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

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? TIA Jose -- -- http://www.cobaej.edu.mx/cobaejweb/FLASH/bannerbvc.swf -- <http://www.cobaej.edu.mx/cobaejweb/FLASH/bannerbvc.swf>

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

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

NTPD monitoring script

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

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 16 Apr '15

16 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.)
