Re: [Observium] Java JVM Monitoring
by Jurasovic Kresimir 01 Feb '15

01 Feb '15

Hi Tom, Thank you for the feeedback. I will look into code for shoutcast and memcached for implementation details. Right now I am trying to cover as much as information as possible. Code it already publicly available on Bitbucket. I am willing to share the results when I complete all the graphs I need and make some usefull tutorial. Will send all the info when I am done. Best regards, Krešimir === Heya, That sounds very interesting! I hope you'll share the result with us. Our app system is a bit basic, but it supports application "instances". I've never actually implemented something with those myself, but things like shoutcast or memcached can support multiple installs on a machine. I think that's the direction you need, but I have no practical information.. check their observium-side code to see how to use, feel free to sollicit feedback either by this list or on IRC.

Monitoring Logs
by Constantinos Coudounaris 31 Jan '15

31 Jan '15

Hello everyone, I'm trying to setup observium to monitor logs but i'm having some issues. I've configured rsyslog and i've followed the instructions at http://www.observium.org/wiki/Rsyslog_Syslog_Server however I get the following error in observium. I've configured the following files: /etc/rsyslog.conf - added forwarding rule to observium rule aswell as the following. The spool files get created successfully. $WorkDirectory /var/lib/rsyslog # where to place spool files $ActionQueueFileName fwdRule1 # unique name prefix for spool files $ActionQueueMaxDiskSpace 1g # 1gb space limit (use as much as possible) $ActionQueueSaveOnShutdown on # save messages to disk on shutdown $ActionQueueType LinkedList # run asynchronously $ActionResumeRetryCount -1 # infinite retries if host is down /etc/rsyslog.d/30-observium.conf - added as per observium documentation Error Message I get in Observium: No syslog entries found! This device does not have any syslog entries. Check that the syslog daemon and Observium configuration options are set correctly, that this device is configured to send syslog to Observium and that there are no firewalls blocking the messages. Thank you. -- Constantinos Coudounaris

rrdcached worked for me! (Or "How to solve gaps in your graphs")
by Tristan Rhodes 30 Jan '15

30 Jan '15

I was seeing gaps in my Observium graphs, so I knew that something was wrong with my system. The output from the Observium "poller-wrapper.py" cron job has statistics on how long it takes to complete each polling cycle. These are scheduled every 5 minutes (300 seconds). Here is what I found: "INFO: poller-wrapper polled 312 devices in 1142 seconds with 20 workers WARNING: the process took more than 5 minutes to finish, you need faster hardware or more threads INFO: in sequential style polling the elapsed time would have been: 21663 seconds WARNING: Consider setting a minimum of 77 threads. (This does not constitute professional advice!)" I tried increasing threads on the poller-wrapper.py cron job, but this did not speed things up. The "top" command showed me that this system was always waiting for disk I/O, which is indicated by a high value for "wa". I decided to give rrdcached a try, after reading this blog: http://blog.best-practice.se/2014/10/using-rrdcached-with-observium.html With rrdcached enabled, I am finally completing my polls with 5-minutes! INFO: poller-wrapper polled 312 devices in 51 seconds with 20 workers Yes, it went from 1142 seconds to 51 seconds, over 22 times faster! I know people have said the web interface would be slower, but from my perspective it is loading much faster now that rrdcached is saving some disk IOPS for Apache. (Disclaimer: I have compiled and installed rrdtool 1.4.9 to try to maximize speed on the web-interface) I hope this help people who are bottle-necked on IOPS from their disks, like I was.

Slow polling for ports.inc.php module
by Jaynee Shah 30 Jan '15

30 Jan '15

Hi, We have heavily loaded Brocade MLXe routers, and polling time is very high for these devices. The same is seen for few Arista switches (at longer distances) as well. This certainly is related to IF-MIB, trying to poll lots of data statistics for all interfaces, resulting in ports.inc.php module run time of ~150sec+. Ideally, we want to reduce this polling time to <60sec. time /usr/bin/snmpbulkwalk -Cr60 -v2c -c 'jtv' -OQUs -m IF-MIB -M /home/jtv/observium//mibs/rfc:/home/jtv/observium//mibs/net-snmp 'udp':'br02.lhr02':'161' ifEntry real 0m57.616s user 0m0.044s sys 0m0.012s time /usr/bin/snmpbulkwalk -Cr60 -v2c -c 'jtv' -OQUs -m IF-MIB -M /home/jtv/observium//mibs/rfc:/home/jtv/observium//mibs/net-snmp 'udp':'br02.lhr02':'161' ifXEntry real 0m52.763s user 0m0.032s sys 0m0.024s We do not care about some of the interface statistics, for example, mtu, speed, duplex, promiscuous mode, trunk, vlan, etc. We only want interface traffic in/out and error statistics. Is there a way to selectively modify any discovery/polling/MIB files, and only keep the statistics we are interested in? Thanks, Jaynee

Device alerts for ignored devices
by Robert Williams 29 Jan '15

29 Jan '15

Hi, There seems to be a potential issue starting with r6211 which causes ignored ports and ignored devices to show in the “Device Alerts” list. If I roll back to r6210 then it is ok again, but anything after that causes them all to pop up in the list again. Any ideas? Cheers!

Billing system aggregation
by Marco Spicuglia 28 Jan '15

28 Jan '15

Hello there, I have been using the billing system for a while now and hardly had any issues. However, it seems that one customer has an unexplainable aggregation and accurate graph data. Please check the attached png. How can the 95% value be so high? Something strange I noticed is that the vlan 44 interfaces are admin down in both devices. However, Vlan44 on e04t shows nan values and it is blue (up) in the billing system overview for this bill. Vlan44 on e03t shown instead as grey (correctly, as it's also admin down) but the values are 0, instead of nan. Am I missing something? Is this a bug? Thanks for your help. Best regards, Marco

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

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

VMWare stats
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

Hi guys, did anyone implement alerts for Cisco's IPSLA and HSRP in the past? Basically I want to create an alert in case of an IPSA tracking change and HSRP change from standby to active. Thank you very much in advance!

Hi All, I'm having trouble to get the rsyslog working. I have followed the guide http://www.observium.org/wiki/Rsyslog_Syslog_Server but used the %fromhost-ip% . And rebooted rsyslog service. When I do a tail of /var/log/messages (i'm using a centos 6.4) I see the log files from my others server coming in, but none is going to the database. Jan 22 08:31:12 smtp postfix/anvil[6320]: Jan 22 08:27:38 app-05 postfix/postqueue[28297]: Jan 22 08:31:24 db-02 postfix/postqueue[25382]: Jan 22 07:52:56 fw-01 postfix/postqueue[18540]: Jan 22 08:31:36 proxy-01 postfix/postqueue[16781]: Jan 22 08:31:40 app-01 postfix/postqueue[17602]: Jan 22 08:31:39 db-01 postfix/postqueue[17506]: Jan 22 08:28:06 voip-02 postfix/postqueue[29870]: Jan 22 08:27:48 nas-02 postfix/postqueue[30007]: config.php $config['enable_syslog'] = 1; $config['syslog']['fifo'] = FALSE; $config['syslog']['debug'] = TRUE; syslog.php logfile('logs/debug.log', $line); debug.log This file stays empty unless i run syslog.php at hand then I see this: [2015/01/20 17:03:31 +0100] syslog.php(15435): Can someone please advice to get this working.

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
