Auto Discovery without sysNames
by dorje2007＠seznam.cz 14 Feb '15

14 Feb '15

Hi I've started you use Observium mand must say I'm very impressed :-). Very useful and comfortable tool I have question regarding the autodiscovery feature. I read the do here , http://www.observium.org/wiki/Device_Autodiscovery, and one of the condition is that sysName and device name must be same, or resolvable. In our scalable design all over the world it is very difficult, cause there are about 80 domains and strong of the domain itself takes about 20 characters, so we use only hostname resolvable via /etc/hosts. We also cannot use DNS, cause AD DNS is processed by the other department ( in Asia :-) , and it would take a weeks to synchronize it. So the question is, how can i workaround the auto discovery without same sysName and the hostname ? As far as get it, sysName only contains the domain extension of the hostname. we have about 300 routers/switches, so we want to discover them automatically. many thanks Pet

Alert checker for active "Used" memory? Alert for load average?
by Hogan Whittall 14 Feb '15

14 Feb '15

Hi all, I'm trying to set up some more proactive alerts for my hosts and either the mempool options for alerting are too generic or the docs are out of date. I want to have an alert checker triggered for active used memory, does that exist yet? I'm not talking about total used memory, which includes buffers and cache and is caught by mempool_perc for Physical Memory, but the active used memory (See "Used" memory in attached screencap). I can't find any way to make that happen and that would be much more useful than having an alert that includes buffers and cache in the tally. If I were to create an alert for mempool_perc >= 90% using "Physical Memory" then pretty much 100% of my hosts would alert because of buffers and cache being included. I'd also like to catch memory utilization issues before systems start to swap out, so I'd like to avoid having swap usage be the trigger. Is that possible currently or perhaps is it on the to-do list? :) Something else that would be great is to alert for load averages. I know someone else was asking about this a few months back and it wasn't possible at the time, so here's another vote to get it added. Sometimes we have processes get stuck in I/O wait and the only way to catch when this becomes a real problem is with a high load average since processes in this state don't drive up CPU. Currently running 0.15.2.6274. Thanks! -Hogan

Re: [Observium] Auto Discovery without sysNames
by Gert-Jan de Boer 13 Feb '15

I'm guessing he has no rDNS. I would probably make static entries based on their IP address and network segment. For example ap-ams-10-11-12-13. Kind regards, GJ Op 13 feb. 2015 17:56 schreef jorr(a)streamguys.com: Pet, If you have a list of their IPs, you can generate a reverse dns entry of each by doing a NSlookup, take the results and formulate a /etc/hosts entry for each, then pass the rdns names into Observium for discovery of services. The DNS entries to not need to be known in advance this way. Get the names for your hosts file: For ip in ${iplist[@}; do Echo –e –n “$ip\t” Nslookup $ip | grep <fordnsname> } This way you just need their IP addresses (and a functioning rdns entry) to get all of the devices into the software.

The point is that i have a hundreds of Cisco AP's and dozen of switches all around the world, that i do not now about their IP's and particular location.. They all have CDP running so i would have to first log to those switches and check their names,neighbors, relations and so on. And this i would like to avoid. Different departments configure devices and not all of them are known ( we operate in 60 countries ). So is there a way to discover them without being known by the DNS or hosts file ?

tab=perf table layout
by Matt Ladewig 12 Feb '15

Devs - Noticed this in the /device/device=*/tab=perf/ page. I checked a few devices and they all appeared the same. The Discovery Times table is formatted below the Total Performance table, instead of directly below the Module Performance table. Formatting is the same in IE, Chrome, and Firefox.

HP Switches
by Jan Kuiper 12 Feb '15

12 Feb '15

Helo, Is there a way to see in a port aggregation which ports are involved on a HP 5830 switch on a HP 2920 the information is shown in the interface? See the example for a 5830 switch. Bridge-aggregation 103 is using 4 1Gbit ports. [cid:image002.png@01D046CF.9A8DC020] Also is it possible to give me the mysql tables and columns where the information (relations) are stored in, so we can (automatically) update our CMDB with it?

Cisco ASA 8.3 IPsec Graphing issues
by Michael Poezyn 11 Feb '15

11 Feb '15

Hi I have two ASA's I graph in observium , one running 8.2(5) and the other 8.3. The issue I have is that on 8.2(5) the IPsec tunnel graphs all work 100% and everything is picked up but when trying to query the 8.3 version I get no graphs for the ipsec tunnel graphs. Is there anything specific I need to do to get the 8.3 ipsec tunnel graphs working ?

php time zone issue
by Aaron Smith 11 Feb '15

11 Feb '15

Hi there, I'm having an issue with the time zone settings in PHP that are causing the dates and times to show up like in the screenshot below. [cid:image002.png@01D04603.E5407F80] After searching for a bit I found a thread that mentioned that the time zone needed to be set in the php.ini file (/etc/php5/cli/php.ini). I changed the setting and restarted apache but the date and time are still showing incorrectly in Observium. I even restarted the sever to no aval. Here is a snippet of the php.ini time/date config [Date] ; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions ; http://php.net/date.timezone date.timezone = Australia/Sydney ; http://php.net/date.default-latitude ;date.default_latitude = 31.7667 ; http://php.net/date.default-longitude ;date.default_longitude = 35.2333 ; http://php.net/date.sunrise-zenith ;date.sunrise_zenith = 90.583333 ; http://php.net/date.sunset-zenith ;date.sunset_zenith = 90.583333 Is there anything I have missed?

Disk IO not graphing?
by Kaya Saman 10 Feb '15

Hi, I've got an issue with Observium build: CE 0.14.11.6000 The Disk IO doesn't seem to be graphing any more?? Using snmpwalk I can get the mib for it: HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunParameters.95709 = STRING: "1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.13.15.1.1.5" It seems that none of my hosts have it working for a while; case for both FreeBSd and Linux. The rest of the graphs are fine and are updating properly! Running the discovery.php manually the output for diskio is: UCD Disk IO : .... Module [ ucd-diskio ] time: 0.0205s The poller shows the diskio is being polled but it seems no data is returned. Has anyone got any suggestions? Config files are same and haven't changed at all... Regards, Kaya

Hi All I am new to this product and have been playing with trying to setup alerting. The Checkpoint MIB is able to pick up which firewall node is active and standby in an HA cluster and I was wondering if anyone know what the conditions need to be for the Alert Checker to monitor when this state changes ? I have tried a few iterations at the alert checker with no success Any help would be appreciated Thanks Mike ############################################################################################# The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

Alert Checks - color coding
by David Roush 04 Feb '15

04 Feb '15

Hello, I was just wondering if someone could explain the grey field in the "entities" column on the Alert Checks page. Are these entities that match the alert check filters and simply aren't polled for whatever reason? For example: [cid:image001.png@01D04055.D8744240] What is the "138" number representing in this case? Thanks, Dave

Didn't think of that [yet]. We should store or check that somewhere so we can alert people on it using the alert thing in the bottom bar.

Either there's a bug, or perhaps you disabled/ignored some ports in Observium? In that case, the poller won't send metrics to the alerter.

Hi all, in my Observium the storage usage of an hardware or software RAID 5 (megaraid or mdadm) device is shown as for example -5277% free at hosts overview page. df -h shows the correct 16% used. Any ideas how to correct this? Regards, Cyrill

Only reason I ask this is because we have had a few devices today go on and off alot and there are no entries in the Event Log Panel of them going off and on but yet ive been getting the email alerts? Regards Simon

An interesting issue with Cisco 2960Cs...
by Richard Kuhns 03 Feb '15

03 Feb '15

Hi all, This is just on the order of a 'watch out' notice. We're currently on 0.15.1.6206, but had the same issue with earlier versions and with the CE. We have 5 Cisco 2960Cs that we monitor, and all were taking horrible amounts of time to poll. Always at least 200 seconds, and often over 300. After some experiment, we discovered that they apparently don't care to talk about CEF (Cisco Express Forwarding). If Observium asks them about it, the CPU usage climbs above 60% and stays there for quite a while. If I go to the device --> edit --> Modules and disable cicso-cef, everything is fine. The CPU drops under 5%, and the poll time is 5 seconds or less. I'm pretty sure we're not losing any useful info, since I don't believe the 2960Cs support CEF in the first place. As I said, this is just a heads up. Observium is a great tool.
