Alerts not working
by Patrick Marquetecken 25 Mar '15

25 Mar '15

I'm trying to get my alerts working but until now without success. I have put a server down, and i know some systems have a disk that is full about 80% I have followed the http://www.observium.org/wiki/Creating_an_Alert_Checker and created some alert according to the examples, and run the regenerate. Test mails are successfully send from the command line. but no luck, can anyone please advice on this matter?

howto control ports
by J.P.M.H. Geerets 24 Mar '15

24 Mar '15

Hi folks, Bit new here. Have an observium (community edition) install in test environment. Is het possible to creat my own ports to test on? Want to test for example ports on a cloverleaf (communication) server to check orm messages etc. Also wanna check dicomports, mostly on 104. Any idea how to do this with observium?

LDAP changes in the Professional version?
by George Phillips 23 Mar '15

23 Mar '15

Hi folks! I tried searching the list but didn’t see anything promising... I had LDAP auth setup and working great on the Community version, but as soon as I upgraded to Professional (version 0.15.3.6343), it ceased allowing logins. A debug of the login shows: LDAP[Connecting to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] LDAP[Connected] LDAP[Referrals][Disabled] LDAP[Version][Set to 3] LDAP[Bind DN called] LDAP[Bind][cn=manager,ou=Internal,dc=example,dc=com] LDAP[Filter][(uid=testuser)][ou=Users,ou=Accounts,dc=example,dc=com] LDAP[Authenticate][User: testuser][Bind user: cn=Test User,ou=Users,ou=Accounts,dc=example,dc=com] LDAP[Authenticate][Comparing: cn=admins,ou=Groups,ou=Accounts,dc=example,dc=com][member=cn=Test User,ou=Users,ou=Accounts,dc=example,dc=com] LDAP[Authenticate][Compare LDAP error: No such object] So this part looked a bit strange to me: LDAP[Authenticate][Comparing: cn=admins,ou=Groups,ou=Accounts,dc=example,dc=com][member=cn=Test User,ou=Users,ou=Accounts,dc=example,dc=com] (notice the strange "member=cn=…" part) My config is: // Begin LDAP Config $config['auth_mechanism'] = "ldap"; $config['auth_ldap_starttls'] = FALSE; $config['auth_ldap_binddn'] = "cn=manager,ou=Internal,dc=example,dc=com"; $config['auth_ldap_bindpw'] = “PASSWORD_HERE"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['uid'] = "uid"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['uidNumber'] = "uidNumber"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['cn'] = "cn"; $config['auth_ldap_objectclass'] = "inetOrgPerson"; $config['auth_ldap_version'] = 3; $config['auth_ldap_server'] = “LDAP_SERVER_IP"; $config['auth_ldap_port'] = 389; $config['auth_ldap_prefix'] = "cn="; $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",ou=Users,ou=Accounts,dc=example,dc=com"; $config['auth_ldap_group'] = array("cn=admins,ou=Groups,ou=Accounts,dc=example,dc=com"); $config['auth_ldap_groupbase'] = "ou=Groups,ou=Accounts,dc=example,dc=com"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmembertype'] = "fulldn"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmemberattr'] = "member"; unset($config['auth_ldap_groups']); $config['auth_ldap_groups']['admins']['level'] = 10; // End LDAP Config Again, this same config works like a champ on the community edition. Did something change with LDAP auth in the professional edition? Am I missing something? Thanks! —George George Phillips www.pfsense.org

Request for more info from Allied Telesis AW+ switches
by Daniel Olynsma 23 Mar '15

23 Mar '15

Hi All, I use Observium daily to monitor various test networks and have noticed limited support for AlliedwarePlus products. I have done some digging round in the MIBs as well as the Observium php files and found that Observium is only extracting the Software version from AT-SETUP-MIB in the file: /opt/observium/includes/polling/os$ cat alliedwareplus.inc.php I would like to request that this be increased to contain more device information. I have found that the HW, serial No etc.. info is available in the AT-RESOURCE-MIB. I have not attached the MIB file as it is already part of Observium. Please find below some experiments that I have done extracting the info. I have conducted experiments on standalone as well as a 'stacked' product consisting of 8 physical switches (rscBoardName). Each device lists a base board '.3' and stacking module '.4' and a power supply '.5'. I would expect that you would only be interested in the '.3' values. for the switch Type. In my experiments I also found following could be extracted: H/W Rev - rscBoardRevision S/N - rscBoardSerialNumber I do not have PHP experience so do not know how to add this functionality myself. However since I am requesting this I do make myself available to assist in this or other Allied Telesis related tasks Regards, Daniel Experiment results: ------- Get the $Hardware value AT-RESOURCE-MIB rscBoardName Standalone (With stacking hw) danielo@tb105 ~ $ snmpwalk -O n -v 2c -c public 10.37.105.36 1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4 .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.1.3 = STRING: "x510-52GTX" danielo@tb105 ~ $ Stacked product (8-stack) danielo@tb105 ~ $ snmpwalk -O n -v 2c -c public 10.37.105.49 1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4 .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.1.3 = STRING: "AT-x930-52GTX" .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.1.4 = STRING: "AT-StackQS" .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.1.5 = STRING: "PWR250" .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.2.3 = STRING: "AT-x930-52GPX" .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.2.4 = STRING: "AT-StackQS" .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.2.5 = STRING: "PWR250" .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.3.3 = STRING: "AT-x930-52GTX" .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.3.4 = STRING: "AT-StackQS" .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.3.5 = STRING: "PWR250" .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.4.3 = STRING: "AT-x930-52GPX" .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.4.4 = STRING: "AT-StackQS" .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.4.5 = STRING: "PWR250" .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.5.3 = STRING: "AT-x930-52GTX" .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.5.4 = STRING: "AT-StackQS" .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.5.5 = STRING: "PWR250" .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.6.3 = STRING: "AT-x930-52GPX" .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.6.4 = STRING: "AT-StackQS" .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.6.5 = STRING: "PWR250" .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.7.3 = STRING: "AT-x930-52GTX" .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.7.4 = STRING: "AT-StackQS" .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.7.5 = STRING: "PWR250" .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.8.3 = STRING: "AT-x930-52GPX" .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.8.4 = STRING: "AT-StackQS" .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.8.5 = STRING: "PWR250" danielo@tb105 ~ $ Standalone (Without stacking hw) danielo@tb105 ~ $ snmpwalk -O n -v 2c -c public 10.37.105.34 1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4 .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.1.3 = STRING: "x610-24Ts/X" danielo@tb105 ~ $ danielo@tb105 ~ $ snmpwalk -O n -v 2c -c public 10.37.105.34 1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21 .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.3.1.3 = STRING: "Base" .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.1.3 = STRING: "x610-24Ts/X" .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.5.1.3 = Gauge32: 340 .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.6.1.3 = STRING: " " .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.7.1.3 = STRING: "B-0" .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.8.1.3 = STRING: "C1ZQB4107" .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.2.1.1.1 = STRING: " Total: 511640 kB Free: 379816 kB" .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.2.1.2.1 = STRING: "63.0MB Used: 25.2MB Available: 37.8MB" .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.2.1.3.1 = STRING: "0 days 15:25:56" .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.2.1.4.1 = STRING: "2.0.4" danielo@tb105 ~ $ localadmin@observium:~$ snmpwalk -O n -m ~/.snmp/mibs/AT-RESOURCE-MIB -v 2c -c public 10.37.105.49 rscBoardName .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.1.3 = STRING: AT-x930-52GTX .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.1.4 = STRING: AT-StackQS .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.1.5 = STRING: PWR250 .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.2.3 = STRING: AT-x930-52GPX .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.2.4 = STRING: AT-StackQS .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.2.5 = STRING: PWR250 .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.3.3 = STRING: AT-x930-52GTX .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.3.4 = STRING: AT-StackQS .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.3.5 = STRING: PWR250 .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.4.3 = STRING: AT-x930-52GPX .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.4.4 = STRING: AT-StackQS .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.4.5 = STRING: PWR250 .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.5.3 = STRING: AT-x930-52GTX .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.5.4 = STRING: AT-StackQS .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.5.5 = STRING: PWR250 .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.6.3 = STRING: AT-x930-52GPX .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.6.4 = STRING: AT-StackQS .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.6.5 = STRING: PWR250 .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.7.3 = STRING: AT-x930-52GTX .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.7.4 = STRING: AT-StackQS .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.7.5 = STRING: PWR250 .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.8.3 = STRING: AT-x930-52GPX .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.8.4 = STRING: AT-StackQS .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.8.5 = STRING: PWR250 localadmin@observium:~$ snmpwalk -O n -m ~/.snmp/mibs/AT-RESOURCE-MIB -v 2c -c public 10.37.105.34 rscBoardName .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.1.3 = STRING: x610-24Ts/X localadmin@observium:~$ localadmin@observium:~$ localadmin@observium:~$ snmpwalk -O n -m ~/.snmp/mibs/AT-RESOURCE-MIB -v 2c -c public 10.37.105.36 rscBoardName .1.3.6.1.4.1.207.8.4.4.3.21.1.1.4.1.3 = STRING: x510-52GTX localadmin@observium:~$

BUG: (and Fix) in poll-billing.php - snmp v1 issue
by Mark Gibbons 23 Mar '15

23 Mar '15

Hi We upgraded to the PRO version last week so that we could look at the billing feature. We did all the needed setup stuff including install of jdgraph etc and added the required cron jobs. We created a few tests bills on a couple of ports We left it for a few hours and got absolutely nothing. We ran poll-billing manually and kept on seeing that it returned "No Data" We searched online and believe that this bug might be referenced here: http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBSERVIUM-711 We enabled OBS_DEBUG in poll-billing.php and immediately could see the problem. The snmpget command was being invoked requesting v2 High Capacity counters against snmp v1 targets. The reason is that the conditional clause when building the snmpget command is wrong. Currently line 86 reads: if ($port['snmp_version'] == "1" || $port['port_64bit'] == "0") { However the snmpv1 string that should be looked for is "v1" not "1". Changing the clause to: if ($port['snmp_version'] == "v1" || $port['port_64bit'] == "0") { Solves all the problems and poll-billing then correctly returns data from snmp v1 devices. Can the please be fixed in an upcoming SVN release so we do not have to reapply the fix if poll-billing.php gets changed for other reasons. KR's Mark

hi guys, just registered to address a missing info in lighttpd installiation tutorial. "python-mysqldb" package is not in the list of prerequisite packages and what i see is it's required to run the cron "*/5 * * * * root /opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py 2 >> /dev/null 2>&1" if you can edit the tutorial, people who uses lighttpd will be able to see graphs with data. thanks for all your hard work.

Hi All, Im just wondering if this is possible, it may not be, or I just may not know how to do it? Currently i have a check thats says if bandwidth on a port more than 75%, then alert me… BUT i want the alert to only send me an email if after say 15mins its still over 75% ? i currently check our kit every 5 mins, so it work out after 3 checks Is this possible? regards Simon - Hestor Ltd

Duplicate device neighbour entries
by Chard, Alex (RET-SYD) 23 Mar '15

23 Mar '15

HI All, Just wondering is anyone has seen this happening before. We have switches that run LLDP and CDP. On most switches, Observium correctly determines that the neighbour entries for each protocol are identical and ignores the second one from LLDP. However on one switch, it's decided that it represents a separate connection (see attachment) I suspect it has to do with the differing port ID, but Observium seems to be able to reconcile that on other switches. Any ideas? Thanks, Alex This e-mail is for the use of the intended recipient(s) only. If you have received this e-mail in error, please notify the sender immediately and then delete it.

Critical alert not matching alerts checker
by Robert Williams 22 Mar '15

22 Mar '15

Hi All, I have a device a Cisco 2960G with a failed internal PSU that has switched to it’s backup RPS supply. Observium is correctly identifying this as ‘critical’ under the Status Indicators for the device in question (image below): [cid:image001.png@01D064D0.36501EE0] There is a “Hardware Fault” event I have created which /should/ have matched this, I believe: [cid:image002.png@01D064D0.36501EE0] (I’ve added the match for value = critical as a test, it wasn’t there originally) This alert checker correctly matches a who load of devices and status checkers on many devices (1691 in total, all green): [cid:image003.png@01D064D0.36501EE0] However, for this particular type of sensor, it does not see any sensors which match the “Hardware Fault” checker. As you can see, I have already removed all the “Device Match” and “Entity Match” criteria from the checker itself to rule that out. So essentially this checker is matching every type of sensor that there is (except, obviously, the one which I want it to). When I click the link on the graph for “Sw1, PS1 Critical, RPS Normal” sensor I get this URL http://observium-server/device/device=343/tab=health/metric=status/ which may be of use in helping diagnose this. After doing some more checking, I’ve found that it is not matching any other kind of sensor with a similar class, for example it does not match the WS-CAC-4000W-IN power supplies in any of the Cat6k chassis either. In fact, I think it’s actually failing to match sensors which have ‘normal’ and ‘critical’ type statuses, instead of ‘true’ and ‘false’ So the following sensors highlighted in yellow are also being missed from matching in this generic alerting config: [cid:image004.png@01D064D1.B26D89D0] So I believe it’s a wider issue and not just related to this one device. Can someone confirm what I’m doing wrong and/or maybe check to see if your alerting configurations can match sensors which have an OK state of ‘normal’ instead of ‘true’? Cheers!

Down ports but can't see them
by Chard, Alex (RET-SYD) 20 Mar '15

20 Mar '15

Hi All, Got an interesting issue... Observium's dashboard shows 2 down ports [cid:image001.png@01D06344.0CB21DF0] But clicking on "2 down" takes me to a screen that shows no down ports: [cid:image002.png@01D06344.0CB21DF0] If I have any more than 2 down ports, they are displayed correctly. Any idea how I can identify the offending ports? Thanks, Alex This e-mail is for the use of the intended recipient(s) only.

tons of rrd zombie processes + solution
by Gerwin Krist 19 Mar '15

19 Mar '15

Hi, FYI on PHP 5.5 we saw a lot of defunt rrdtool proceeses (1 for every image created in the browser). If you see this there are a couple of fixes/work-around: 1. Fix it in observium, open ./includes/rrdtool.inc.php and change *function rrdtool_pipe_close(&$rrd_process, &$rrd_pipes)* to *function rrdtool_pipe_close($rrd_process, &$rrd_pipes)* 2. downgrade to PHP 5.4 Seems to be caused by https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69014 Regards, Gerwin Krist

Alert emails not working
by Aurélien PERRODY 18 Mar '15

18 Mar '15

Hi, I recently bought the full version of Observium to get alerts system. So I migrated from the CE version to full version, no problem. I edited the config.php file as well: -------------------- // Enable alerter (not available in CE) $config['poller-wrapper']['alerter'] = TRUE; // Set up a default alerter (email to a single address) $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['descr'] = "Default Email Alert"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['type'] = "email"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['contact'] = "xxx(a)xxx.com"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['enable'] = TRUE; // Configuration email (APE 2015-03-12) $config['email']['backend']= 'smtp'; $config['email']['enable'] = TRUE; $config['email']['from'] = 'xxx(a)xxx.com'; $config['email']['default'] = 'xxx(a)xxx.com'; $config['email']['default_only'] = TRUE; $config['email']['smtp_host'] = '192.168.1.29'; $config['email']['smtp_port'] = 25; $config['email']['smtp_timeout']= 10; $config['email']['smtp_secure']= NULL; $config['email']['smtp_auth']= NULL; $config['email']['smtp_username'] = NULL; $config['email']['smtp_password'] = NULL; -------------------- When I check my configuration, it works, I received the email test, no problem. ------------------- root@MEDSRV15:/home/logs# /opt/observium/test_mail.php -h MEDHPV01 No log handling enabled - turning on stderr logging /etc/snmp/snmp.conf: line 6: Warning: Unknown token: rocommunity. Observium 0.15.3.6342 Test E-mail Configuration See mail backend options here: http://www.observium.org/wiki/Configuration_Options#Email_backend_settings My Hostname: MEDSRV15.xxxx.xxxxx E-mails ENABLED globally ($config['email']['enable']) E-mails use SMTP backend ($config['email']['backend']) smtp host: [192.168.1.29] smtp port: [25] smtp timeout: [10] smtp auth: [FALSE] E-mails send only to default email ($config['email']['default_only']) E-mails use these default recipient(s) ($config['email']['default']): xxxx(a)xxxxx.com E-mails send from ($config['email']['from']): xxxxx(a)xxxxxx.com E-mails send to recipients based on default recipient from config and/or device sysContact.

Alerting system patch
by Gert-Jan de Boer 16 Mar '15

16 Mar '15

Hi, A while ago I posted this patch to Jira, after some brief discussion I didn't hear back about it. I would like to add some more notification backends (for example Slack integration), is there any reason why this would not be accepted? The patch is under http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBSERVIUM-1194 Kind regards, GJ

MySQL/Apache apps
by Asensio Sánchez, Juan 16 Mar '15

Hi We have just installed Observium from SVN, added some hosts, and almost everything seems to work fine. We have some MySQL servers, and followed the instructions to get the graphs. Running observium_agent in the MySQL server, I get the <<<mysql>>> section. Doing telnet to the MySQL server from the Observium server, to the agent port, I get the same section, but I don't get any data in the device page. Any advice? The same happens with the Apache servers. Regards.

adding private ip address
by Tshering DHENDUP 14 Mar '15

14 Mar '15

Dear Team, We are trying to add private IP address to the observium. Our picture: the observium server is having a private IP address tho' NATed to a public ip address. I am trying to add the private IP( of a switch/router), and it gives me the following error Try to add 192.168.128.1: Could not resolve 192.168.128.1. Devices skipped: 1. Does this mean that, the devices can't be added using their IP? Or should the IP be DNS mapped( resolvable )?
