Email alerts on subscription version (again)
by Gavin Henry 27 Nov '14

27 Nov '14

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). Is this all correct or do we have to config *all* alerts and there are no defaults? ./test_mail.php -h xxx.uk.suretec.net Observium v0.14.11.5936 Test E-mail Configuration My Hostname: xxx.suretec.net E-mails ENABLED globally E-mails use PHP-builtin MAIL backend E-mails send from: "Observium" <observium(a)xxx.suretec.net> Try send test notification for xxx.uk.suretec.net to these email(s): noc(a)suretec.net Notification for xxx.suretec.net SENT. root@xxx:/opt/observium# cat config.php <?php ## Have a look in includes/defaults.inc.php for examples of settings you can set here. DO NOT EDIT defaults.inc.php! // Database config $config['db_host'] = "localhost"; $config['db_user'] = "xxx"; $config['db_pass'] = "xxx"; $config['db_name'] = "xxx"; // Location $config['install_dir'] = "/opt/observium"; // Thie should *only* be set if you want to *force* a particular hostname/port // It will prevent the web interface being usable form any other hostname #$config['base_url'] = "http://observium.company.com"; // Default community list to use when adding/discovering $config['snmp']['community'] = array("xxx"); // Authentication Model - move to LDAP once confirmed. $config['auth_mechanism'] = "mysql"; // default, other options: ldap, http-auth, please see documentation for config help // Enable alerter // $config['poller-wrapper']['alerter'] = TRUE; //$config['enable_syslog'] = "1"; ## Enable email backend settings $config['email']['enable'] = TRUE; // Needed on subscription product //$config['alerts']['email']['enable'] = FALSE; $config['enable_billing'] = 1; // End config.php -- Kind Regards, Gavin Henry.

26 Nov '14

Hello Guys! Today, 10 minutes ago, I’ve purchased a subscription for Observium (PayPal transaction 5UL24208P67929042). It was unfortunately my mistake because my friend has purchased the same subscription a few days ago… and he didn’t tell me :( Today we have a two subscriptions but we need just a one… can I ask you to cancel today order and refund our PayPal account for this purchase?

Cisco WLC access points
by krause＠rus.uni-stuttgart.de 26 Nov '14

26 Nov '14

Hi, since Aruba access points are found just fine, is there anyone having Cisco APs on WLC/WiSM2 in Observium already? If not, has anyone checked already how much "patching" would be required to feed those APs into the db model? Best, Kilian

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

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

Has anyone used any of the Mako appliances (http://www.makonetworks.com/) with observium?

Interface Parsing
by Robert Hatch 24 Nov '14

24 Nov '14

Dear all, Just wondering if there was an appetite out there for expanding the interface labelling feature of observium. The existing description parsing (http://www.observium.org/wiki/Interface_Description_Parsing) is pretty useful but also a bit limiting at times, as it seems more useful when labelling layer 3 services and less so for layer 2. Just a few general comments: * For us the pseudowires tab does not seem to auto populate (we use a variety of juniper, brocade and extreme switches and routers), just wondering if I have missed something here... * This aside there are more frequent occasions where we are providing VPLS services for a client and it would be nice if it were possible to label an interface as both a customer and a P2P link for example and then have these separately broken down in observium itself * There are also occasions where it would extremely useful to label backhaul circuits such as dark fibre and waves. Currently the only option for this is to label things as core but that page becomes so big it is not that useful unless you know what you are after (and then you would just go straight to the interface). Something like BACKHAUL: , PROVIDER:, END (A/B etc.) would be immensely useful and time saving. * The other issue we have that I don't have a simple answer for is the unhelpful aggregation of customer switch ports (quite often both ends of a P2P) and their layer 3 router ports. Could we start by having a separate aggregate graph for each circuit reference for each specific client. Maybe if END A and B are specified then the graph could demonstrate that these are actually different ends of the same link? What do people think? BW rob

hddtemp on CE 0.14.4.5

Hello. Great product. Looking forward to evaluating the subscription version after I get a minimum base operational using the CE edition. I have an issue around viewing HDD TEMP graphs driven by data extracted from the UNIX agent and hddtemp script. I can confirm output when auditing output of: telnet (hostname) 36602 or ./poller.php -h (hostname) -d I can also confirm temp. sensor driven graphs do come up for other hosts when using SNMP lmsensors, however not for unix-agent / hddtemp data sources. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thank you.

r6001 backward compatibility
by Tom Laermans 21 Nov '14

21 Nov '14

Dear all, Revision 6001 cleans up a bunch of old code paths that should not have been used in recent days. If you are upgrading from a revision before r5000, it's probably best to upgrade to r6000 (svn up -r6000) first, run a full discovery and poll cycle, then upgrade to latest trunk. We've removed RRD renaming code for files which should since long have been renamed, and variables that should not exist anymore in your config. Variables to double check: $config['email_*'] should be renamed to $config['email'][*] instead. Tom

Groups
by Milton Ngan 21 Nov '14

21 Nov '14

What is the intention of the groups feature? It seems like a really powerful way to group stuff together and have interesting views of things. But right now it just generates a list of entities that you can click through or hover over. I took a look at the code that generates all the various graph layouts (iftypes, health, ports). It seems that every page has its own code for handling the graph layout. It seem like this would be a great place to leverage a bunch of the existing code so you can create group specific views of sensors, ports etc... But it doesn't look like the code is structured that way (i.e reusable components/widgets). The standard views are good, but I want to be able to see them on a per datacenter/region basis rather than globally. The global view is visually interesting/pretty it is less useful.
