Unix Agent
by Mike Hammett 05 Dec '14

05 Dec '14

I have read the Unix Agent troubleshooting section. The Observium-wide FAQ didn't provide any guidance either. I set this up within the past week. Running Community Edition, Debian Wheezy. I got one box (CentOS) setup with the Unix Agent and at least one polling worked as it's now populated with different packages, MySQL information (that's one of the scripts it setup). It hasn't worked since the first polling or two. It isn't pulling in any new scripts on the monitored box and the information it does have appears to be stale. I can telnet from the Observium box to the monitored box via FQDN on port 36602 and get a bunch of stuff back. However, the observium.log and my router shows requests going to the FQDN at ports 1 and 6556 that are refused. I don't show anything in netstat listening on those ports on the monitored box. What's my next step? TIA ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com

SonicWall NS2400 CPU
by Paul Harrington 04 Dec '14

04 Dec '14

Hi there, Does anyone have a Sonicwall NS2400 reporting CPU usage to Observium. The default settings didn't seem to pick it up. I tried adding the OID (1.3.6.1.4.1.8741.1.3.1.3.0) to the SNMP configuration in the Sonicwall, but still no sign of them in Observium. Where am I going wrong? Thanks, Paul NoSigPLS!

Adding a SNOM 320 VoIP Telefon failed
by ecaroh 04 Dec '14

04 Dec '14

Hello, i tried to add a SNOM 320 VoIP Telephone. I saw that Observium has an include for snom devices. As a first test a bare snmp request from cli with v1 succeded, with v2 i got no response. But Observium does not discover the device with v1. DNS / host name service is working. I have read in the web that SNOM SNMP support is awful. They have their own mib, a request for "system" does not give an answer from cli. Does anybody have SNOM Devices monitored in Observium and if so, what could be the error that the device could not discovered and added? thx, ecaroh

add device type
by Justin Miller 03 Dec '14

03 Dec '14

Under Device Settings - Device properties - there is device type. I’d like to add router and switch there. Checked the mailing list archive. Nothing conclusive on how to do this. Does not look like something in a config file. Checked there as well. Is this used someplace other then he device menu subtree for grouping? Justin

Observium and Google downtime
by Milton Ngan 03 Dec '14

03 Dec '14

We use the Google Map API, and it appeared that Google was unreachable here for several minutes. In that time, our Observium box ground to a halt due to all the PHP processes hanging on what I can only guess were map API calls. Once Google came back the machine became responsive again after all the processes finally cleared out.

Hello, Today I discovered that some statistics are missing. There are empty graphs since one week in all App tabs - apache, mysql, postgres, etc. There are also no graphs in tab Temperature. I think, I didn't change anything since then. I can do telnet <server> <port> to receive all that informations.. Do you have any idea what’s going on? (Observium Pro) Regards,

by Anton Lundin 27 Nov '14

27 Nov '14

Hi there! I'm a quite new user of observium and i think its a really nice tool to keep a collected view of my network. I've done a couple of hacks on observium to get it working better in our enviorment that i would like to contribute upstream. I haven't seen any doc on how you would like contributions done so I'm just attaching them here as git-format-patch on top of latest community edition of observium, md5sum of tarball: 887e9ec061a751c0cb96fc5b774aa392 observium-community-latest.tar.gz If you have any other preferred way of getting contributions, just tell me. //Anton -- Anton Lundin anton(a)dohi.se +46702-161604 http://www.dohi.se/

Hi all, I've read all the archives and am sure below is right, but on a recent BGP flap from one of our peers we didn't see the email (but got an SNMP Trap from our NMS anyway).

Refreash of login page
by Fältman, Mikael 26 Nov '14

Hi. There is an html instruction making the login page to be refreshed every 300 sec. If you try to login to Observium using wrong credentials (user may have forgot it) and then leave the web browser there will be an Failed login event every refresh cycle. This leads to unnecessary alerts in SIEM systems for those who are doing security monitoring. Are there a need to have the login page refreshed ? Regards Mikael

Unable to login
by Aaron Smith 25 Nov '14

25 Nov '14

Hi everyone, We're testing Observium and I've come across an issue with logging in this morning. I have LDAP/Active Directory configured for auth and has been working perfectly up until now. At first I thought it was my account, but nope all good there. Then I thought it was the LDAP configuration so I changed the config back to the default mysql auth but still not able to log in. I tried rebooting the box but didn't work either also checked the file system and it's not full. I also tried deleting the cache and cookies and using different browsers but still no dice. Not sure if it's related but I updated to the new CE yesterday but it was working fine after the update yesterday afternoon. Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks.

Webpage stays blank after update to 0.14.11.6008
by Branzko, Matthias 25 Nov '14

25 Nov '14

Hello all, today morning I did an update from an older version of observium (sorry, don't know the exact version - but IIRC only 1 sql update file was executed afterwards) to the latest svn version. But if I try to open the Observium in the browser, the page shows nothing (only white background is shown). First I thought it's an issue with LDAP-Authentication. So I switched to mysql, created a new user with permission 10 and tried again. But still no luck. The user database looks like: mysql> select * from users; +---------+-------------------+------------------------------------+-----------------+--------------------------+-------+-------+-------------------+--------------+ | user_id | username | password | realname | email | descr | level | can_modify_passwd | user_options | +---------+-------------------+------------------------------------+-----------------+--------------------------+-------+-------+-------------------+--------------+ | 4 | admin | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | | root@localhost | | 10 | 1 | NULL | If I try to open the webpage with debug=1 the following output is shown: > $vars /opt/observium/includes/common.inc.php:196SELECT * FROM `entity_permissions` WHERE `user_id` = '4' string(56) /opt/observium/includes/common.inc.php:196SELECT `value` FROM `users_prefs` WHERE `user_id` = '4' AND `pref` = 'atom_key' string(79) /opt/observium/includes/common.inc.php:196SELECT `value` FROM `users_prefs` WHERE `user_id` = '4' AND `pref` = 'atom_key' string(79) /opt/observium/includes/common.inc.php:196SELECT * FROM `device_graphs` ORDER BY `graph` string(46) /opt/observium/includes/common.inc.php:196SELECT * FROM `devices` ORDER BY `hostname` string(43) /opt/observium/includes/common.inc.php:196SELECT `device_id`, `ports`.`port_id`, `ifAdminStatus`, `ifOperStatus`, `deleted`, `ignore`, `ifOutErrors_delta`, `ifInErrors_delta` FROM `ports` LEFT JOIN `ports-state` ON `ports`.`port_id` = `ports-state`.`port_id` string(244) /opt/observium/includes/common.inc.php:196SELECT * FROM `sensors` LEFT JOIN `sensors-state` ON `sensors`.`sensor_id` = `sensors-state`.`sensor_id` So the login or mapping to user_id seems to work. Any ideas / what to do next? Thanks in advance Matthias
