HIgh CPU usage caused by snmp process
by Arya, Renuka [BSD] - MED 25 Feb '15

25 Feb '15

Hi All, Couple of our Force 10 (S4810) Switches are reporting high CPU usage which seems to be caused by snmp processes. This is impacting the network performance. Do we know the MIBS (modules) that cause high load? And how can we disable these MIBs. Thanks!

Change alert checkers/method to make alerts more flexible?
by Hogan Whittall 25 Feb '15

25 Feb '15

Me again. :) I love Observium, but the alerts are a bit of a pain point for me. Admittedly I don't have full, in-depth knowledge of the alerting mechanism but I was wondering why the check conditions and entities are separate. If it were possible (without completely rewriting the whole alert code) to have the entities be a part of the check conditions then that would, by design, allow us to set multiple check conditions on different entities within the same checker. See attached, I realize this doesn't work but this might help explain what I'm wanting. Since there's no entity for active used memory it's very hard to create actionable alerts for high memory utilization until it's too late and the host(s) start to swap. If the check conditions had metric, condition, value, and entity together then I could create such an alert by checking for physical memory used >= 95% *and* cached memory <= 10% (and... if so desired). On the other hand, if the metrics included the entity then there would be no need to have the entities at all? mempool_physical_perc, mempool_cached_perc, etc. I have high hopes for Observium and I'm trying to do what I can to tweak it to do what we need, but my PHP experience is limited. If I can manage to find a resource internally here at work to help out then hopefully we can contribute something back to the community if it's deemed worthy. Just some thoughts. Thanks for all the time and effort being put into Observium! -Hogan

Graph / No Auth issue
by Ryan, Spencer 23 Feb '15

23 Feb '15

We've enabled SSL on our Observium server and now it seems like all of our port graphs are broken. They show "No Auth" and clicking on them takes you to the "you're not allowed to view this graph" page. We've disabled the SSL site and reset apache, cleared cookies and used different browsers. Created a new level10 user and nothing seems to work. Any help on what to do to get the port graphs back? *Spencer Ryan* | Senior Systems Administrator | sryan(a)arbor.net *Arbor Networks* +1.734.794.5033 (d) | +1.734.846.2053 (m) www.arbornetworks.com

CDP Neighbors broken?
by Ryan, Spencer 23 Feb '15

23 Feb '15

I'm having an issue with Neighbors / Map missing entries on a Cisco device. It's a 3750E stack running 12.2.55SE9 and it has always worked properly before. I'm not sure when it stopped updating but I've updated to the latest SVN build and it doesn't help. Observium shows 12 entries, however if I do a show cdp neighbors from the switch itself I get ~3 times the items. Any idea on what's going on? Any discovery/poller debug commands I can run to help you diagnose it? *Spencer Ryan* | Senior Systems Administrator | sryan(a)arbor.net *Arbor Networks* +1.734.794.5033 (d) | +1.734.846.2053 (m) www.arbornetworks.com

Aggregate

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to generate aggregate graphs. I've found the way to do that if I use "blabla:..." however I have already my description : "test test (blabla) test test". I did some work on the port_description_parser but non of them worked for me. How can I catch the "(blabla)" in there ? now I can see its configured as Notes.

Alerts for OSPG/IGP Changes
by Ben Hohnke 19 Feb '15

19 Feb '15

Are there any plans to add an alert checker for OSPF/IGP Neighbor state changes? The BGP alerts checkers are great, however I'm looking for a similar thing for IGP. Alternatively, Does anyone know of a solution for alerting IGP neighbour state changes? I have 100-200 routers I would need to monitor. Thanks in advance, Ben

How to define graphs used in the Application page?
by Ricardo Meleschi 17 Feb '15

17 Feb '15

Hello Observium Overlords, I’ve gotten an Observium Client working for a new application that we’re running. For some reason, when I click on the Application Name under Apps, only three graphs per server are shown. Additionally, I have not figured out how to tell Observium which graphs I would like to display on this “Application Overview” page. Can someone guide me to the right place? All I’d like to do is select which 4 graphs to show up on my main Application Overview Page. I’m currently running Observium 0.14.11.5987, and am using the MYSQL, BIND, and NTP Observium scripts, in addition to our home grown script as well. Thanks for any assistance, Ricardo

Little bug in event log

Hi! I just noticed these entries in my event log after moving a server from one datacenter to another: 16s eth0 IPv6 removed: 2001:9e0:803::30/64 16s eth0 IPv6 removed: 2001:9e0:803::30/64 16s eth0 IPv6 added: 2001:9e0:803::30/64 16s eth0 IPv6 added: 2001:9e0:803::29/64 16s eth0 IPv4 removed: 94.142.242.217/28 16s eth0 IPv4 removed: 94.142.242.210/28 16s eth0 IPv4 added: 83.247.10.30/27 16s eth0 IPv4 added: 83.247.10.29/27 As you can see the IPv4 added and removed lines make sense: remove two addresses from 94.142.242.x/28 and add two addresses in 83.247.10.x/27. The IPv6 addresses are wrong though: It *should* have logged two removals from 2a02:898:148::x/64 and two adds in 2001:9e0:803::x/64, but it logs one of the newly added addresses as removed twice.

Ubiquity not detecting correct os or version
by Simon Smith 16 Feb '15

16 Feb '15

Hi All, I’m having an issue here with a few of our UniFi Access Points and Observium Observium detects most of our AP’s as UniFi but for seem reason two of them as being detected as AirOS ? I have no idea why it is doing this! They all have same Firmware and OS installed so why is it detecting it as AirOS instead of UniFi ? I have even compared snmpwalks and they are both identical (oversally data is different, but names, models, etc all the same!) Also ive noticed the correct ones for UniFi, aren’t detecting the firmware version correctly either ? its showing one point as 3.1.12 when infact I’m on 3.2.10 Any help where I should start looking or even ideas for me, would be very helpful Regards Simon
