Alert Checks - 500 error
by David Roush 26 Jan '15

26 Jan '15

Hello, we have been experiencing an issue with the Alert Check functionality for the past two weeks or so, I was hoping someone would have some insight. I'm not aware of any changes made to the system that would have broken it, we have about fifteen alert checkers configured which seemed to be working fairly well. We are using the paid version. Error: The "alert checks" (/alert_checks/) page presents a 500 error when loading. Log Example: [Tue Jan 20 14:52:53.641445 2015] [:error] [pid 9996] [client 10.3.15.210:56877] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function dbFetchRows() in /opt/observium/html/pages/alerts.inc.php on line 22 Current Version: 0.15.1.6204 The overview page indicates the Alerts are actually working (non-zero values for "OK", "Fail", "Delay, "Supp", and "Other"), it seems to just be an issue with the alert checks page. There does not appear to be any issue with the rest of the system. A fresh copy of the PHP files has no effect. Please let me know if anyone has any ideas or what other information would be helpful to have. Thanks, David Roush

ASA Graph Discrepancy
by Chip Pleasants 26 Jan '15

Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone else is seeing the same behavior as me. While looking at the ASA graphs I notice a couple discrepancy's with the the Remote Access Sessions graph. Attached is our graph and cli output.The SSL VPN Session and the Clientless seem to have the colors flipped, but also I noticed the values on the Clientless have negative numbers. This doesn't seeem t match with the cli output. Let me know if anyone has questions.

Java JVM Monitoring
by Kresimir Jurasovic 26 Jan '15

26 Jan '15

Hi, I am in the beginning phase of using Observium. I have everything set-up and working. No problems so far. One feature I am missing is Java JVM Monitoring. In your Bug Tracker I found the following ticket: http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBSERVIUM-554?jql=text%20~%20%22JVM%22 In it you mention that this should be implemented using unix-agent. This is perfectly fine by me. I have implemented a Java application which is run by unix-agent and retrieves data from the JVM using the JMX protocol. I have graphs set-up and so far every is running ok. There is only one feature I cannot figure out how to implement. This feature is very important for me. In most cases there will be more then one JVM on a single machine. From monitoring perspective this should be treated as separate application but handled by the same agent. Is this even possible on Observium? If it is can you please point me to the right code so I can see how this is done. Thanks, Krešimir

Alerting configuration problem
by Joel Golliet 23 Jan '15

23 Jan '15

Hi, I am starting with observium Professional Edition (i first installed community edition and upgraded it to pro with svn) and try to run the alerts. I have enabled email alertsin configuration. Nevertheless, when I create "alert checkers" (here a simple example with storage check), after clicking "Regenerate" this list me well the devices / entities corresponding with the check but when I look at the details of a check, I don't find anything in the list below. See screenshots for details. I had a look at my mysql database and tables "alerts", "alert_table" are empty (i don't know if it's normal). Can someone help me please ? I don't know what to check.

by Matthew Andersen 22 Jan '15

22 Jan '15

New customer/user to Observium. So far we are really liking the product. Currently running: 0.15.1.6200 We have SNMP working on our VMWare hosts and get a lot of good data. I need to determine how to get DISKIO stats currently I just have capacity. Also there are some forum posts about getting more in depth VM info, machine info, etc. I don't see anything on how to get that up and working. Any help would be appreciated. Happy to take feedback from everyone get it working and then publish the steps I went through. Thanks and thanks for such a great product. Matthew TheTVDB.Com

HP TippingPoint IPS 1400N

HI, I know this device isn't on the supported list, we currently use cacti to monitor our IPS devices, there is a cacti module for tippingpoint and it works well but we are wanting to migrate everything to observium if we can Currently this is coming up as a generic snmp device I've got a paid SVN version but the observium connected to the tipping points is still running the latest CE I'm not sure if the cacti module can be used as a cheat sheet for observium support ? http://docs.cacti.net/usertemplate:host:tippingpoint:ips running tipping point OS (TOS) 3.6.4 Regards, Daniel

Just Hello and question about alerts
by dragonauta 22 Jan '15

22 Jan '15

Hi, my name is Diego, I'm from Argentina. I'm using Observium on my home server. It's a proxmox platform running 12 containers. One of them is running openvpn+observium to monitoring remote servers of my Customers. Observium CE it's just what I was looking, easy, simple. I just miss alerting system (e-mail) when a node is down. I read on wiki that new alerting system is not on CE (yet): will be added sometimes or will be a "premium" feature? For now I made a raw "alerting" system, modifying source code. At includes/polling/functions.inc.php I added a small script into poll_device function, just under status check. It uses php-mail and sends me a message indicating just hostname and status (Up or Down) Obviously it's hardcoded, but it works for me. Thanks for this nice software -- GPG-Key: 2FFBC43B Linux Registered User #436806 www.preguntaslinux.org :: supermoderador bbs.archbang.org :: moderator jinetedeldragon.wordpress.com

Services monitoring?

Now that the Services / nagios plugins are deprecated what are people doing for monitoring availability of things like SSH? We are trying to get rid of nagios but mainly need the functionality of checking to make sure services are responding on various ports. Any good ideas?

Email Formatting for Alert Checks
by Pico Leto 21 Jan '15

21 Jan '15

Hi, Is there a better option for how the html formatting happens with the alert checkers? Examples are attached. I basically create a message with proper spacing, carriage returns etc. But after saving the alert (screenshot2) the formatting is disregarded. Reason for the long message is that my NOC needs step by steps instructions on how to handle something like per company policy. The email formatting also seems to take the Message field and throw it into the subject line. Shouldn't just the Name field in the alert checkers be in the Subject line of the email and then the message be included in the body? Is anyone out there doing custom email notifications or just using the default?

Log rotation, was Re: Observium on CentOS 7
by Colin Stubbs 21 Jan '15

21 Jan '15

One note though. And this isn't just related to CentOS hence change of subject. You'll need to sort out your own log rotation, e.g. create /etc/logrotate.d/observium with something like the below if you stick with the basic Apache httpd config, /opt/observium/logs/*_log { missingok notifempty compress delaycompress sharedscripts postrotate /bin/systemctl reload httpd.service > /dev/null 2>/dev/null || true endscript } /opt/observium/logs/*.log { missingok notifempty compress delaycompress } There's been a couple of jira tickets related to it (745/872), but no template suggested in jira or added to svn that I could find, and no code to manage observium.log or update-errors.log that grep -i could find. -Colin On 15 January 2015 at 19:30, Florian Miesenberger <florian(a)miesenberger.cc> wrote: > Okay.

Integration question about smokeping
by Nate Mellendorf 19 Jan '15

19 Jan '15

While looking at the list of tools that are supported within Observium, I found this neat "patch" for Smokeping: http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBSERVIUM-1075 I'm half tempted to try and implement the proposed solution, as our support staff loves the colored graphs for packet loss. That said, I was curious if this is something you plan to implement into Observium in the near future. I ask, as I'm worried that adding this patch in before it's officially supported could break something for us down the road. Thanks in advance for your opinion on this. It will be well received and is greatly appreciated.

Custom Pages for Specific Graphs

Folks, We are running the subscription package of Observium. Hope this doesn't seem too lame a question after reading the Doc's/FAQ's. Perhaps and most likely, I have missed something. I understand and have created custom_traffic frontpage graphs which are handy. Is there a way to create custom pages with specifically chosen graphs? -- L.C.

Map location problems after switching to the Pro version
by Richard Kuhns 14 Jan '15

14 Jan '15

Hello, We had been running the community version of Observium for a few weeks. I set the syslocation for each device, and when using the Google API each device appeared on the map exactly where it should. I used google instead of mapquest because when using mapquest a number of locations were wrong even though I used the exact address mapquest.com showed when I looked it up. We recently went Pro, and it's well worth the money. However, the map is no longer useful. We currently have 62 devices we're monitoring, all within a small geographic area in central Indiana around Lafayette. 61 of the 62 devices show up within a single block around our default latitude & longitude. For example, in the event log I find an entry for mulberry-sw1: 2015-01-14 09:25:00 mulberry-sw1 System Geolocation (GOOGLE) -> [40.420760, -86.890249] United States (Country), Indiana (State), Tippecanoe County (County), Lafayette (City) This is just wrong. The actual location string for this device (which has been untouched since it worked correctly for the community version) shows that it's in Mulberry, Indiana. That's even in a different county. Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
