It might also be an OpenSUSE default. I read somewhere that this would be a 'feature' of recent versions of mysql. I could only get rid of it with an explicit sql-mode="" in my.cnf whereas I couldn't find another config file anywhere on the system. But wouldn't it make more sense to just add a default value of "0" to all columns? I mean in the long run. /Steffen -- Steffen Klemer E-Mail: Steffen.Klemer(a)gwdg.de Tel: +49 551 39 172361 __________________________________________________________________ GWDG Am Fassberg 11, 37077 Göttingen URL: http://www.gwdg.de E-Mail: gwdg(a)gwdg.de Tel.: +49 (0)551 201-1510 Fax: +49 (0)551 201-2150 Geschäftsführer: Prof. Dr. Ramin Yahyapour Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Dipl.-Kfm.

observium does not work with recent versions of MySQL
by Steffen Klemer 06 Jun '14

06 Jun '14

Hey everybody, I don't know whether this already came up, but with recent versions of mysql (like in the latest openSUSE) many features (VLANs, Ports, Routing, Events) of observium are no longer accessible. This is because of a new default "sql_mode = strict_trans_tables" which don't longer allow constructs like INSERT INTO `ports-state` (`port_id`) VALUES ('4713') in tables without default values for the other columns. The solution was a sql-mode="" in my.cnf. I suppose this will sooner or later also hit Debian/ Ubuntu. Perhaps you might fix this in one of the following versions? Otherwise observium over fulfilled all my needs and wishes. Thank you for this wonderful piece of software! cheers /Steffen -- Steffen Klemer E-Mail: Steffen.Klemer(a)gwdg.de Tel: +49 551 39 172361 __________________________________________________________________ GWDG Am Fassberg 11, 37077 Göttingen URL: http://www.gwdg.de E-Mail: gwdg(a)gwdg.de Tel.: +49 (0)551 201-1510 Fax: +49 (0)551 201-2150 Geschäftsführer: Prof. Dr. Ramin Yahyapour Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Dipl.-Kfm.

mikrotik ip add/remove not working
by Simon Smith 06 Jun '14

06 Jun '14

Hi people, we have a mikrotik unit that we monitor and we have a PPPOE interface on it, that we monitor the PPPOE interface sadly drops every so often and the IP on it changes … ( I know dynamic ip for pppoe is bad, we are in process of sorting out a static ip ) but for some reason the observium, doesn’t notice the interface ip was removed then readded or even changed !? it notices that the interface is offline and alerts me… but not the IP change or re-add can someone look into this, or tell me where i could begin looking to find the problem regards Simon

Hi, If we were thinking of moving to the subscription service with some service options for feature development etc but our VM infrastructure is RHEL would we be unable to get the development service as the OS is unsupported or is it just the installation process that's unsupported? Regards, Emma

DNS Aliases
by Cardinal-Richards, Emma 04 Jun '14

04 Jun '14

Hi, I understand that Observium needs the hostnames to be valid, so we tweaked our hosts file with a regex to add an alias to match the device hostnames (as our initial names had some extra info in the names not on the hosts). But this appears to allow me to add devices manually but autodiscovery doesn't seem to be working. Does Observium need it to be the 'main' resolvable hostname rather than an alias? Regards, Emma

Billing View display issue
by Spencer Gaw 03 Jun '14

03 Jun '14

Hey all, We made a topographical change to a portion of our network last night - to be specific, we separated a large fiber ring into two smaller rings. After this change was made, the Billing View in Traffic Accounting is not displaying new data. Here's the kicker, the data is there; 24 Hour View and Monthly View display as expected. It seems to only affect the Billing View - screenshots attached. This isn't so much of a problem, just an oddity that I noticed. Anyone have a theory here? Regards, SG

Hi all! I know, this is a pretty discussed topic, but from this discussions plans and current state of Cisco's WLC monitoring are not obvious. When I've tried to add it to Observium, it wa correctly identified as Wi-Fi device type, but only device traffic and system temperature are shown on the main page, no CPU, memory are available. WLC model is 2106. Can anyone plaese clarify this? --- Best, Sergey Homyakov

imo, 1920 will be common for quite a while yet. any chance you can make the scaling formulaic, based on a config parameter? that way you only have to do it once, forever.

PostgreSQL Application monitoring

MIB files to compile?
by Ray, Bjoern Karsten 02 Jun '14

02 Jun '14

Hi there, this may sound a bit stupid but I need to know this for sure: MIB files in Observium don't have to be compiled but to be available under /opt/obersium/mibs/ or(!)/opt/obersium/mibs/[vendor]? Background is a strange feeling that some MIBs are not used at all - so the second question is: how to validate that Observium uses the correct ones so I can verify either that I've done something incomplete or the affected MIBs are not valid or incomplete at all. Thanks in advance! Björn

Graphing Apple Airport traffic
by Steve Evans 01 Jun '14

01 Jun '14

Firstly, I have to say how impressed I am with the clean, purposeful implementation of Observium. One of the main reasons I was looking for such an SNMP network manager was to monitor my four apple airport base stations. Whilst Observium recognises such devices, and graphs the wirelessNumber from the AIRPORT-BASESTATION-3-MIB if does not graph the corresponding physicalInterfacesTable traffic. Whilst the ifTable is graphed this doesn't actually include the wireless connections. This information would be very useful to determine how many packets are being passed on the wireless interface and at what speed. I've yet to dig into the structure of the code much, but presumably the physicalInterfacesTable could be logged/graphed using code very similar to that used for the ifTable. Something that would also be very useful, would be to list the currently attached clients which could be reported in a similar manner to the ARP/NDP Table using information sourced from the wirelessClientsTable to display MAC address and speed/signal strength/noise. This information could be instantaneous rather than logged as the airport base stations appear not to actually return the number of packets passed despite the MIB supporting this. This looks like the simpler task. Finally, some might be interested in the DHCP allocations, but as I run all my base stations in bridged mode that wouldn't be of interest to be. So, before I start looking at the code, I thought I should ask if anybody is already looking into this? Thanks, Steve

Geocoding debugging help
by Chris Moody 30 May '14

30 May '14

Howdy folks. Can anyone please help provide me some syntax to try debugging the geocoding calls that place devices properly on the map? I'm running 2 installations[Observium CE 0.13.10.4586]: - 1 test host (geocoding works great) - 1 production host (geocoding isn't working) The prod host is behind proxies whereas the test host is not, so I'm next to 110% positive that this is what's preventing the geocoding calls from functioning, but I could use a hand in how to further debug the details of where/how it's failing. I've specified the proxy server details in the config.php file, but am not confident that connections are actually getting through. It's quite possible that the geocoding URLs are not currently permitted through the proxies. I need some more ammo though to go back to my proxy admins so that I can get their help in permitting this connectivity if it's denied. Are thereany commands I can run or debugging flags I can toggle to help extract more details? I've tried both the mapquest & google provider to no avail, so need to get deeper under the hood to troubleshoot further. Any insights or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Cheers, -Chris

You could tcpdump on both the prod and tests hosts then show the results to your proxy admins.
