Re: [Observium] Port 'Last Changed' visibility

After much debugging, tweaking the code and playing around with timestamp to epoch functions I’ve finally managed to get this working and it seems to be pretty accurate (for the Cisco devices at least). Thanks for your help Jake Turner [cid:94259173-8184-4F71-8163-56004829AE3C@turnerhouse.local] I am running 0.13.10 (rev. 4585) so yes, a pretty old version. I will update asap and that should shed a little more light (Y).

I see what you’re saying when it comes to providing the most compatibility with all the different vendors as they probably report it slightly different (or not at all) and so updating it with 'on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP’ ensures that you’ll always have something there. I only have Cisco devices though so it’s not too much of a problem. Thanks, I’ll do some more digging tomorrow, need to sleep now!

This should use the port's ifLastChanged if it exists, else it'll use the current polling time. At some point we decided it was totally unrealiable and decided to track it ourselves by having the database update the value when the port configuration in the database changed. It sounds more like you'd want the "down since" number calculation changed to include the total time that the alert wasn't up (or unknown). adam.

I’m thinking of removing that and creating a separate script to update this column with the interface change time as reported by the device. If you're not capable of finding where it's updated in the code, you possibly don't want to be modifying the code you can't be bothered to read. adam. _______________________________________________ observium mailing list observium(a)observium.org<mailto:observium@observium.org> http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium _______________________________________________ observium mailing list observium(a)observium.org<mailto:observium@observium.org> http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium _______________________________________________ observium mailing list observium(a)observium.org<mailto:observium@observium.org> http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium _______________________________________________ observium mailing list observium(a)observium.org<mailto:observium@observium.org> http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium _______________________________________________ observium mailing list observium(a)observium.org<mailto:observium@observium.org> http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium _______________________________________________ observium mailing list observium(a)observium.org<mailto:observium@observium.org> http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium

graphs for power usage on Tripplite PDUMH30ATNET
by Jeff Courtade 22 Apr '14

22 Apr '14

Hello, I have successfully added in a Tripplite PDUMH30ATNET. It successfully detects and uses the OPS mib when it sets up and has a nice little tripplite icon. The only thing it seems to be graphing is the Ethernet traffic on the one ethernet interface on the device. What I want to see graphs of are the power usage on each of the power outlets and inputs. Any help would be appreciated. -- Thanks, Jeff Courtade Director of Systems Engineering Adjuggler Inc http://www.adjuggler.com M: 240.507.6116

Map issue
by Johnathon Voegeli 19 Apr '14

19 Apr '14

Does anyone know how to fix this? All the SysLocation fields are identical, but when they go on the map it places 2 blips a few miles a part. This is on all of my locations. I suspect its an easy fix to blow that part of the database away and let it reload them. I believe it started happening when the map updated the last time.

Port 'Last Changed' visibility
by Jake Turner 19 Apr '14

19 Apr '14

Hi all, I can't seem to see this feature on the port details page or the 'all ports' list but forgive me if it is visible somewhere. It would be useful to have a 'last changed' time (30 mins ago) etc... on the port details page. This info can be gained from SNMP and from what I can see is already in the DB so it would just be a case of adding it to the page code. Thanks Jake

1 rogue host on map in the mid Atlantic
by Ryan Prihoda 16 Apr '14

16 Apr '14

Hey all, I recently updated to the new community edition and once everything was up again, I have 1 rogue host showing in the mid Atlantic on the map. None of my hosts use the override "syslocation" function. The number of devices in "All Locations" is equal to devices my syslocation. Here's the kicker, when I click on the rogue host, it takes me to my devices page for my syslocation. Is there anything I can do to figure out what device is causing this issue ? Thanks, R. Prihoda

But different mixes of results across different platforms. Might this be related to r5317? Cheers, Sander

dot1dbaseportifindex on Cisco not listing UP interfaces?

Alerting on high 'used' RAM, not counting 'cached'
by Robert Williams 15 Apr '14

15 Apr '14

Hi, Having my first experiment with the new alerting features - very nice! There is one thing I can’t seem to get quite right which is how to alert for Linux system when the ‘used’ RAM is greater than, say, 90% - which is best explained with an example of a device which looks like this: [cid:image001.png@01CF5826.67DDE2B0] Which shows that ‘used’ is 15.1GB (48%). However, for the purposes of alerting, if you use the mempool_perc gt 80 it alarms as being 98%. So I can’t specify ‘used’ as a pool because the only pools are “Swap Space”, “Virtual Memory”, “Physical Memory” etc. There isn’t one which is specifically the ‘used’ RAM element. So, is there a way around this or something I can tweak to get the desired result? Or what is everyone else doing to get alerting for linux boxes like this working for high RAM? Cheers guys!

Support for Huawei MA5600T GPON OLT
by Adam Wołk-Jankowski 14 Apr '14

14 Apr '14

Hello, I’m looking for NMS with support for full query and monitoring of MA5600T series Huawei GPON OLT, but with no luck. Huawei NMS – iManager U2000 costs huge amount of money and it not completely suit to my needs. We use Observium for few months with Cisco, Extreme Networks and D-Link devices and it seems to be ideal solution, but with MA5600T there works only basic things like traffic on Ethernet ports. I have full MIB library for this device but I’m not a programmer so cannot make support by myself. I have some devices in lab, so can share access and also would like to help if anyone with skills would like to work on this. -- Adam Jankowski a.jankowski(a)systel.pl

Hi, I'm new to Observium, so please be tolerant if I ask a stupid question. On the Google map on the front page - is it possible to have the device names displayed? Either "always" or when hovering on the green place marker. Now when I hover I get a label stating "1 hosts", "2 hosts" etc depending on the number of devices that have identical location. I've looked through the documentation and searched old discussion archives but haven't been able to find anything regarding this. Regards, /Ulrik Ivers

I’m suffering from the same issue since last week or so. I’ve filed http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBSERVIUM-795 for this to get this solved/fixed. I didn’t exactly know what it was related to, but thanks for figuring that out!

device status boxes on the front page show disabled devices
by Henrik Lund Kramshøj 14 Apr '14

14 Apr '14

Hi We have a problem with the front page, the red alert boxes are shown for devices that are disabled. We use the config.php $config['frontpage']['order'] = array('status_summary', 'device_status_boxes', 'device_status', 'overall_traffic' ); and I guess its the device_status_boxes is the one. Did something change, or do we need to change something? Devices shown (some of them) has check mark in: "Disable Disables polling and discovery. Device ignore Device ignore. " So they shouldnt show up, didnt sometime before - but unknown when they stopped working correctly. Version, subscription, did a svn up today. man apr 14 09:14:08 CEST 2014 Best regards Henrik -- Henrik Lund Kramshøj, Follower of the Great Way of Unix internet samurai cand.scient CISSP hlk(a)kramse.org hlk(a)solidonetworks.com +45 2026 6000 http://solidonetworks.com/ Network Security is a business enabler

How best to tell Observium that VMware is no longer unix [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
by Peter.Hine＠familycourt.gov.au 11 Apr '14

11 Apr '14

Back in the bad old days, esx was run on a version of RedHat Linux (RHEL). Now they run their own kernel. During discovery, i noticed that the unix agent was trying to be contacted and also has (unix). Reasonably sure VMware won't support it. Your native VM detection and polling is sufficient anyway. adlvm03 6 vmware (unix) Module [ junose-atm-vp ] excluded for device. Module [ cisco-ipsec-flow-monitor ] excluded for device.

Frontpage alert hostnames
by Spencer Gaw 11 Apr '14

11 Apr '14

Hey all, Has anyone noticed that some devices display the subdomain in their hostname on frontpage alerts and others do not? Example: Here are the hostnames configured on each device: /ring-rmcit.ftc> system show host-name// // //+------------------------------ HOST NAME -------------------------------+// //| Oper | ring-rmcit.ftc |// //| User | ring-rmcit.ftc |// //| DHCP | |// //+------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+// // //sw01.cos> system show host-name// // //+------------------------------ HOST NAME -------------------------------+// //| Oper | sw01.cos |// //| User | sw01.cos |// //| DHCP | |// //+------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+/ /redacted(a)access03.den> show version | match hostname// //Hostname: access03.den /Any ideas here? / /Regards, SG

Enhancement Request: Latest Reported Operating System
by techuser6＠gmail.com 11 Apr '14

11 Apr '14

It would be nice if there was another column next to "Operating System" for Network devices that had the latest reported IOS from Cisco/Dell. That way one could easily see which devices need to be upgraded to the latest IOS to ensure that security and bug fixes are addressed.

Device Ignore
by Marco Spicuglia 10 Apr '14

Hi there, running last stable version. If I disable/ignore a decommissioned device, then it still shows up as "down" in the frontpage device alerts module, while the alarm should disappear instead.
