nxos syslog
by Rob VanHooren 24 Jun '14

24 Jun '14

is the nexus' L3 in the global (default) vrf? if *not* then it won't (easily?) work until cisco fixes the (being kind here) "oddball way" that mib exposure happens on the nxos platform. a workaround could be to map out things with snmp contexts that tie in a string per vrf ... but imo that doesn't scale effectively. join the party: go beat up TAC and your sales rep. for how stupid their implementation -- of something pretty fundamental -- is. luck, R.

NXOS vrfs == OID grief

it seems vrfs aren't discovered, since the OIDs are not found. this leads to all sorts of unhappiness, since with no ipaddr (mgmt vrf) winds up with no syslog, no routing, no nothing except L2 info. who can I send the walk to?

Timeout: No Response from xxxx
by George 24 Jun '14

24 Jun '14

Hi, I have latest observium installed and running on a Ubuntu 12.04.4 server and am trying to add another same Ubuntu server to the observium server. I've set up snmpd on the target host. When I run the snmpstatus command from the observium server I get a Timeour: No Response. I've installed the mibs and everything else according to the docs. I can see in the syslog of the target host that the observium server hits it. I can run successfully snmpstatus on the target host and query itself. I can run snmpstatus successfully from another CentOS server. It works from everywhere except the observium server. There are no firewalls involved. Am I doing anything wrong? What info can I send you to help me debug it. Please help Thanks

Syslog from NX-OS device
by Ole Hansen 24 Jun '14

24 Jun '14

Hi, I'm trying to get syslog (using syslog-ng) from some NX-OS devices into Observium, but so far no luck. I'm using the following syslog-ng configuration template t_observium { template ("$HOST||$FACILITY||$PRIORITY||$LEVEL||$TAG||$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY $HOUR:$MIN:$SEC||$MSG||$PROGRAM\n"); template-escape(yes); }; destination d_observium { program("/opt/observium/syslog.php" template (t_observium)); }; Works fine for IOS-devices The output that would be sent to syslog.php i can see by adding: destination d_foo { file("/tmp/foo.log" template(t_observium)); }; and the following output is in my file: 10.10.10.10||local7||info||info||be||2014-06-24 16:43:08||Jun 24 14:43:07: %SEC-6-IPACCESSLOGP: list flow denied udp 192.168.10.10(137) -> 192.168.11.10(137), 5 packets ||147696 10.10.10.11||local7||notice||notice||bd||2014-06-24 16:43:16||2014 Jun 24 16:43:16.724 CEST: %SYSMGR-5-CFGWRITE_STARTED: Configuration copy started (PID 2143).|| any ideas?

HP-Switch: device traffic graphs of new modules
by Wiethoff, Helge 24 Jun '14

24 Jun '14

Hi all, I have a problem with the "Device Traffic"-Graph in Observium (r5581) since I inserted two modules 22Ports (J9536A) into the backplane of a HP 5406zl. It is not plotted anymore as you can see in the attached device-traffic.png. The Error-Message from RRDTool is: RRDTool Output: ERROR: mmaping file '/srv/observium/rrd/x-fra01.tfhbo.de/port-97.rrd': Invalid argument. The file port-97.rrd is empty, but observium added the Ports yesterday. Eventlog: 23-06-2014 18:37:13 Inventory Inventory added: class port, name Port F22, index 217 .... and so on. Maybe it is just a side-effect: All of the other new Ports, are not plotted, too. Any suggestions? (Except buying a "real" switch... ;-)) Bye, Helge ________________________________ Helge Wiethoff Medienzentrum Telefon: +49 (234) 968 8717 Fax: +49 (234) 968 3453 E-Mail: Wiethoff(a)tfh-bochum.de Technische Fachhochschule Georg Agricola für Rohstoff, Energie und Umwelt zu Bochum Staatlich anerkannte Fachhochschule der DMT-Gesellschaft für Lehre und Bildung mbH Herner Straße 45 44787 Bochum http://www.tfh-bochum.de ________________________________ Träger: DMT-Gesellschaft für Lehre und Bildung mbH Sitz der Gesellschaft: Bochum Registergericht: Amtsgericht Bochum Handelsregister: B 4052 Geschäftsführung: Prof. Dr. Jürgen Kretschmann (Vorsitzender) Manfred Freitag

Re: [Observium] Juniper Inventory

What you can do to get the optical levels for 1G interfaces (or 10G interfaces on older FPCs in the M/T) is extend the Juniper MIB and run the commands in Junos using a script. I tried doing this some time ago, just never got it finished. Regards, Rutger

Juniper Inventory
by Raphael Maunier 22 Jun '14

22 Jun '14

Hello, I wonder if it’s complicated / possible to add in the inventory list the optics count / type / serial … Some time, it’s easier to just ask the noc to look at this webpage and check if it’s a MM/ SM optic and/or the correct lambda for wdm optics. May be a dedicated page / second expand ? ( running latest updated version ) Raphael

Disable Device Alerting
by Travis Kreikemeier 21 Jun '14

21 Jun '14

I have the new alerting in Observium setup for many events, including device down. However, over some of our wireless links I am getting false positives, so I turned up the ping retries to 3 times. Still happening, so I set the device down delay to 2. That has helped, however I am still getting the old school device alerting system emails. How can I disable those? I have port utilization disabled ($config['alerts']['port_util_alert']), etc. But I can't find anything in any docs or searches for disabling device down alerting in the old alerting system. Any help is appreciated, thanks! TRAVIS KREIKEMEIER

LDAP authentication and user id mapping (user sees no devices)
by Branzko, Matthias 20 Jun '14

20 Jun '14

Hello all, in the moment I try to switch from mysql to LDAP authentication (AD). The LDAP connection seems to work. I can logon to observium using my LDAP credentials. But the user mapping to permissions does not work. In observium the user sees no devices. The mapping is set as follows: $config['auth_ldap_groups']['Observium_Admin']['level'] = 10; $config['auth_ldap_groups']['Observium_User']['level'] = 1; In Wireshark I could see that the right group (Observium_Admin) was matched. Debug shows something like: SELECT * FROM `entity_permissions` WHERE `user_id` = '-1' SELECT `value` FROM `users_prefs` WHERE `user_id` = '-1' AND `pref` = 'atom_key' What to try next? Thanks, Matthias

SysobjectID for AIX
by Teixeira, Mike 20 Jun '14

20 Jun '14

Hello, I compiled net-snmp for AIX on my two AIX 5.3 servers. Since doing so the sysobjectid now returns net-snmp.aix rather than one that designates for AIX. I can set the sysobjectid in the snmp.conf. I have been looking for what to set that to so observium knows that it is an AIX server rather than a generic server. Does anyone have the oid that reflects AIX for sysobjectid? Thanks, Mike

No VRFs being discovered on Cisco 3750 Stacks
by Matthew A Harper 19 Jun '14

19 Jun '14

Hi Guys, Recently I've started monitoring some of our edge routers using Observium and have found that VRFs don't appear to get found during discovery. I found an old post from last year where Adam advised that VRF tracking in Observium is currently considered "broken and unstable". (http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.observium.general/3159). Here is a snip from a discovery of one of our edge devices running a handful of VRFs: dot1d id ifIndex Port Name Priority State Cost 504 5003 Port-channel3 128 forwarding 3 Cisco Pseudowires : VRFs : SLAs : UCD Disk IO : Discovered in 6.686 seconds I'm guessing this may be a lower priority to devs at the moment but it is something we'd be requiring before we can fully move away from our other unnamed/expensive monitoring solution as we need to enable alerting for BGP instances bound to specific VRFs. If this is still an ongoing issue is this perhaps something we could offer the devs financial incentive in the form of donations to bump the priority a bit? Alternatively if this has since been patched am I doing something wrong? I have the following enabled in my global config (and confirmed on the devices under modules): $config['enable_vrfs'] = 1; cisco-vrf enabled enabled Kind regards, Matt Harper Network Analyst | ICT Operations Information Technology Branch | Department of Transport and Main Roads Floor 4 | Transport House | 230 Brunswick Street | Fortitude Valley Qld 4006 PO Box 673 | Fortitude Valley Qld 4006 P: (07) 30661125 | F: (07) 30662044 E: matthew.a.harper(a)tmr.qld.gov.au<mailto:matthew.a.harper@tmr.qld.gov.au> W: www.tmr.qld.gov.au<http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/> *********************************************************************** WARNING: This email (including any attachments) may contain legally privileged, confidential or private information and may be protected by copyright.
