Ubiquity Serial Numbers / Wireless (WLAN) mac
by Lyndon Labuschagne 27 Apr '22

27 Apr '22

Hi A few years ago we were able to pull the Ubiquiti Radio MAC / Serial numbers from the Observium DB. I no longer see any serial numbers listed for Ubiquiti devices if I query the device table in the DB directly, and it’s not shown on the device screen in the Observium interface. When running a manual poller.php run the serial number field is <empty>, Is there something that changed on the Observium or Ubiquiti side or is the a module that I may need to enable? Any ideas or input would be welcome. Regards Lyndon

You may want to keep sAMAccountName if you want to log in with bare userids instead of UPNs. Not sure if the "dn" line is required or not, I don't remember what that does. Objectclass might also trip you up - "person" is the standard LDAP ObjectClass for an AD userid. Are you able to successfully execute an LDAP query from the command-line using "ldapsearch" (typically found in the "openldap-clients" package or similar)? I would start there, to prove your Observium server can actually reach your DC and run a query successfully, before trying to enable LDAP in Observium. You can't do a non-TLS LDAP bind on 389 by default, which is why we use 636 and ldaps. IIRC, something has to be done on the client (Observium) side to allow OpenLDAP to accept the internal AD-generated TLS certificate the AD server offers, but I can't find it right now. -Adam Adam Thompson Consultant, Infrastructure Services [MERLIN] 100 - 135 Innovation Drive Winnipeg, MB, R3T 6A8 (204) 977-6824 or 1-800-430-6404 (MB only) athompson(a)merlin.mb.ca<mailto:athompson@merlin.mb.ca> www.merlin.mb.ca<http://www.merlin.mb.ca/> From: observium <observium-bounces(a)observium.org<mailto:observium-bounces@observium.org>> On Behalf Of Valerie Lim via observium Sent: Monday, April 25, 2022 9:16 PM To: observium(a)observium.org<mailto:observium@observium.org> Cc: Valerie Lim <valerie.lim(a)acclivis.com<mailto:valerie.lim@acclivis.com>> Subject: [Observium] Observium LDAP Integration Hi I am currently using professional v22.4.11952 for Observium.

Cloud networks monitoring option in Observium
by Jan Horacek 26 Apr '22

26 Apr '22

Good morning guys, I want to ask you if there is any development thread which will introduce cloud services monitoring into observium. I don`t mean the classic monitoring way of vhost via SNMP, but over API calls directly from the cloud tools. We are currently transferring our network capabilities from the standard setup to CloudWan and looking for the monitoring options and our vision is to concentrate monitoring features in observium dashboards. I appreciate any hints or tips. Thanks

relative times/dates
by David Milton 20 Apr '22

20 Apr '22

Hello, When trying to document events it’s more useful (at least to me) to see that something happened at 01:55 than it is to see it happened 9:23 hours ago. That doesn’t mean it’s not useful to know how long ago an event happened but it seems recently, knowing when the event happened is more important that knowing how long ago that was. Is there any way to disable temporarily or permanently the “relative” times in the event log and syslog? Thanks, Dave.

how does "ignore until" under device/alert settings work?...looking for a "in maintenance" mode for a device
by Tony Guadagno 20 Apr '22

20 Apr '22

Sorry if this is an obvious question but I have been playing with this and it does not behave the way I am expecting... under device properties/alerts there is an "ignore until" option as well as a "disable notifications" toggle.... [cid:image003.jpg@01D8530A.33555B80] If I set the "ignore until" to sometime in the future and I (for example) restart the device...I still get alerted. If I toggle the "disable notifications" , I do not get the notifications anymore...however, it stays disabled past the "ignore until" time How is this feature supposed to work? I am looking for a way to put a device in "maintenance mode" so that if I am upgrading etc...no alerts are generated and no notifications are sent.

add-on?

Is there an add-on or a separate module that will provide the DNS entries for each server? We have various servers running multiple websites and it would help us if we had one interface that contained this data along with everything else that Observium provides.

Observium running in Ubuntu Server / How to ensure data at REST encrypted with AES256 / data encryption at rest
by Ryan Tee 18 Apr '22

18 Apr '22

Hi , Subject - Data encryption at REST ( AES256 ) How to verify and ensure data at REST encrypted with AES256 Observium running in Ubuntu Server. When at rest, data can be subject to malicious threats such as data theft or data corruption by obtaining physical access to the storage hardware. Do share us information if any comments for this. Thank you Regards Ryan **************************************** There are three states for digital data: data in use, data in transit and data at rest. * Data in use refers to active data stored in non-persistent volumes, typically RAM or CPU caches. * Data in transit is the state where data is transferred over a network, either private or public. * Data at rest means inactive data that is stored physically on persistent storage, i.e. disks, databases, data warehouses, mobile devices, archives, etc.

The ping-only host thing isn’t feasible in the existing devices paradigm, it would break the UI and a lot of other expectations about devices. Observium is 95% “showing data we got from SNMP”. The thing we’d likely create is a separate list of devices that didn’t support SNMP and didn’t actually interact with anything that currently exists in Observium, except probes, so we’d need a bunch of exceptions to the probe code to handle things with a device record and things without in the probes code. No one seems to ask much about it once we show them how to do the probes workaround, so we don’t look at it much. Adam.

Please excuse me if I am preaching to the choir but I do have some feedback. I want to start out by saying that I would love it if all devices supported SNMP, that would be ideal, but reality is that there are devices that will never have SNMP agents on them. In this particular case, it’s a banks ATM’s. For security reasons, SNMP will never be a feature for these devices. There are other examples as well, for instance, I also want to my ISP’s router so I can tell when I go down, are they down as well. So, ping only devices are abundant and persistent, they will not be going away. Setting up a probe will get me by, but there are several problems. The first is it seems you need to associate the probe with an existing host...so it looks like the probe is for that host (even though it is not). What happens if I delete the host...will the probes go away? Also, I have not yet seen a notification, but does the notification show the hosts name associated with the probe? If so, that will be confusing to techs who might not be aware they have to read further. What is really needed is the ability to add a device that is ping only and stand alone, not dependent on any other host. Obviously, all the info for that device would be unavailable except ping times but this would be much clearer. I think, given how important ping only devices can be, it should be a priority to get this right. Finally, let me say that I have worked in the past with MRTG and HP Openview and more recently with NagiosXI, PRTG and Shinken. Observium is BY FAR, the best of them. A ping only host is one of the few things that they all can do, but you cannot. Thanks for listening, if you want, I would be happy to put in a feature request.

wmi issues, need a syntax change
by Tony Guadagno 13 Apr '22

13 Apr '22

Hi, I am guessing that wmi polling is not used very much but I do use it and find it handy. If you do use it, you are probably aware that your event logs are filling up with this error: The server-side authentication level policy does not allow the user domain\wmiuser SID (S-1-5-21-99999-3660327915-2769000259-31856) from address 1.1.1.1 to activate DCOM server. Please raise the activation authentication level at least to RPC_C_AUTHN_LEVEL_PKT_INTEGRITY in client application. I am getting 4 eventlog errors every polling interval (5 minutes) on every windows server. This is due to Microsoft enhancing security on wmi. (KB5004442-Manage changes for Windows DCOM Server Security Feature Bypass (CVE-2021-26414) (microsoft.com)<https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5004442-manage-changes-for-wind…>) There is a solution to this, you need to call wmi with pkt integrity enabled (wmic RPC_C_AUTHN_LEVEL_PKT_INTEGRITY support · Issue #41 · greenbone/openvas-smb (github.com)<https://github.com/greenbone/openvas-smb/issues/41>). So, for example wmic --user=domain.local\\user --password= //server.domain.local "select * from Win32_ComputerSystem" - throws the error in the target servers event log...also, this will start failing next year. However wmic --user=domain.local\\user --password= //ncacn_ip_tcp:server.domain.local[sign] "select * from Win32_ComputerSystem" will not throw the error wrapping the target server in ncacn_ip_tcp: and [sign] fixes the issue. So, would it be possible for you to enhance Observium to make the wmi calls this way? Thanks Tony

Hello, We have a lot of core links in our network. The total graphs are show on top. [cid:image001.png@01D84A72.89424B20] When I click on 1 of the graphs I get an error.

I want to write a check to alert when my ups’ switch to battery. I think I can do that by checking if the “source of output power” is not normal, but I do not know how to translate that logic into conditions and associations..can someone help? Thanks BTW, is there an exchange where people post their checks for others to use? Tony

questions about email alert notification formats
by Tony Guadagno 01 Apr '22

01 Apr '22

Hi, I have 2 questions about this. First, is it possible to attach a notification format per contact. We are sending out text alert notifications using number(a)vtext.com<mailto:number@vtext.com> and I think the format is too big for vtext.com to accept. Is it possible that on a contact, scale down the notification? Second, is it possible to change the format of the general "recover" email? thanks Tony
