add-on?
by McGranahan, Jamen (VU) 18 Apr '22

18 Apr '22

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

What to do when all optimizations fails ...
by Graf Vincent 31 Mar '22

31 Mar '22

Hello, Although I double check every tuning guide from the website, I'm in trouble with my Observium installation. First of all, the size of the network is huge... From the Statistics on about page : - 1023 Devices - 57K Ports - 51K Sensors - 128 GB RRD - 20GB DB I run the latest version of Observium with PHP 7.3 on a Debian 10 physical server. It is a dual Intel Xeon 6248 2.5Ghz (20C/40T) equipped with 3 RAID groups : - RAID1 for the OS - RAID1 for the RRD files and Observium application - RAID5 for the database All the disks are SSD. The number of poller is set to 48 and the whole polling time has an average of 264s and a max of @334s (I just increase the poller to 60 today...). I do housekeeping every week to cut off the event log and other stuff older than 30 days. I also use fast userspace caching with php-apcu For the port discovery, some of ports are ignored like vlans, control plan, stack interface, voice-port, etc... The installation runs like a big diesel machine ... not so fast but very robust. My problem is that it takes more than 30 seconds to get the detail of simple 48 ports switch ... and much more when I try to load a detailed backbone with many more ports. Do you have any suggestion to improve the GUI responsiveness ? Thank you for your time Kind regards Vincent

vlan table cleanup?
by Adam Thompson 25 Mar '22

25 Mar '22

We’re noticing that the VLANs page (Ports-->VLANs) is less useful than it could be, because it seems to keep around every VLAN that has ever existed on every device that has ever existed. I also don’t see anything in …/includes/housekeeping/* that would address this. It’s so bad/useless at this point that 1701 records are from devices that don’t even exist anymore (vs. 4409 where the parent device at least still exists, even if the VLAN doesn’t). A similar problem exists in vlans_fdb. Is there some housekeeping mechanism that is supposed to take care of this, that I can go troubleshoot? Or is it just an oversight/omission? And if not, can I just do a “DELETE FROM vlans WHERE NOT EXISTS ( <query on ‘device’> )” (and something similar on vlans_fdb) to clean it up? Thanks, -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/>

IPMI discrete unit sensors
by Karl-André Skevik 22 Mar '22

22 Mar '22

Hello, We have several machines with IPMI configured in observium. Some of these machines have had hardware failures, such as power supply or disk failures, and we can see the failure status when polling the machines via ipmitool, but there are no warnings reported by observium. The unit of these sensor values is "discrete". Does observium support this type of sensor, and if so, is it possible to configure observium to warn about failures in these sensors? Regards,

Hallo, I have Rancid integrated into Observium but as it is, not all the devices have the config tab. Additionally, those with the config tab do not update the configs as set. I'd appreciate your help. I followed the documentation below: RANCID Integration - Observium<https://docs.observium.org/rancid/> Regards, Joyce
