Great job on fixing a bug that wasn't yours to fix before I'd even told you about it :-) Hopefully Eaton will be equally efficient! Am very impressed with what I've seen so far in Observium in a week's dabbling. Am certainly contemplating taking out a subscription to stay current once I've done some more testing and added the rest of our equipment in, and ideally found some way to make it talk to the equipment that doesn't do SNMP...

strange discovery behaviour
by Bastiaan Topper 02 Apr '14

02 Apr '14

Hi, We have a few Cisco routers monitored by Observium which lose their attributes over time. When I do a manual discovery the memory/processor/ip address and BGP peers are correctly added. But over time (between minutes and hours, as you can see below) the information is removed. [cid:image001.png@01CF4D9A.03605160] Then information about BGP or processor/memory disappear. After a manual discovery of the device they are added back, but again after a while they disappear. [cid:image005.png@01CF4D9A.566ADCE0] Is this some kind of bug? Do you need any debug information from me, please let me know!? Thanks. Met vriendelijke groet, Bastiaan Topper

Device page not building correct
by A. Lantink 02 Apr '14

02 Apr '14

Hi all, Since a couple of builds i have a problem with the device page. I didn't mention it yet, since I couldn't exactly reproduce since which update the error occurred, and hoped it would go away after some other updates. But it's still here. The page is somehow not completely generated. See below the example of device=1, but all devices have the same problem. The HTML source can be viewed here: http://www.colocenter.nl/observium_device_source.txt It just stops. Running the latest SVN version(5176). The main page, and for example the ports page work fine. It's just the device page. http://www.colostats.nl/devices/ works fine, but http://www.colostats.nl/device/device=ID/ wont. Any idea's what his might be causing? Kind regards, Alexander

API calls return blank page

Hey guys, After upgrading my test Observium server to revision 5188, all API calls return a blank page. Going through the Apache error logs, I found: /[Tue Apr 01 16:37:13 2014] [error] [client //REDACTED//] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_vars() in /opt/observium/html/api.php on line 26/ Comparing this section of api.php to my production Observium server running revision 5167, there are some differences: *r5188 api.php* /$vars = get_vars('GET');// //$vars['module'] = (!empty($vars['module']) ? $vars['module'] : "demo"); /*r5167 api.php */foreach ($_GET as $key=>$get_var) {// // if (!empty($get_var)) {// // $vars[$key] = filter_var($get_var, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);// // }// //}/* *Any ideas where to start on this one? Admittedly, PHP is Greek to me but hopefully this means something to you folks over in Dev Land. If there's any additional info you'd like, please feel free to ask. Regards, SG

imbedded alert graphs missing in alert emails using outlook / gmail
by Martin Smith 01 Apr '14

01 Apr '14

Hello, I'm aware that the imbedded image problem has been discussed on here previously. I believe the final answer was "outlook sucks". Both outlook and Gmail web are unable to display the images, but my android email application works. I asked one of our support guys to take a peak and help shed some light on the matter. According to him, it might boil down to using a cid tag instead of a data tag to imbed the image. I have no idea what that means, but hopefully it will help an intelligent developer. Thanks for any and all help into this matter. I'd love to see graphs in my alerts! I've included his email below for additional details: ------ The specific image in question that is not loading is embedded as a base64 encoded image, with a data tag instead of cid tag for the source URL in the message source. Outlook uses Word for composing and displaying emails, and apparently Word does not support the method by which the png file was embedded, as it does not use a cid tag. The PNG format itself is not the issue, because I was able to acquire the original image, paste it into a new email in Outlook, and send it to myself, and it shows up just fine. Looking at the source in that scenario, the PNG source is using a cid tag. I'm uncertain how the message in question is being generated, and whether the method by which it's embedding the image can be altered, but ultimately it seems like the current method is unsupported by Outlook/Word, and I have not yet found any good fixes or workarounds, other than to change the embedding method, or to run a command in Outlook that will open the email in a web browser, which will then display the image in question.

Help with a simple email setting
by Jake Hansen 01 Apr '14

01 Apr '14

Sorry if this has been posted before but I have been trying to find it for a few hours now. I'm trying to find where the system sets the emailto field when hosts go down. Right now, when a host goes down, somehow its still emailing the old email address sometimes. I have grep -R the entire /opt/observium folder but nothing comes up. I have also tried to set the following setting to no avail $config['alerts']['email']['enable'] = TRUE; $config['alerts']['email']['default'] = "netops(a)blah.com"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['descr'] = "Default Email Alert"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['type'] = "email"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['contact'] = "netops(a)blah.com"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['enable'] = TRUE; But sometimes some of the emails(not all) will still go out to our old email address help(a)blah.com I cant for the life of me figure out how to fix it and have been scouring the observium docs to no avail. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks! -- Jake Hansen Sr. Network Administrator ZTelco / Zray Technologies, Inc. 858-431-4411 Direct 858-565-2155 Office

Dealing with "slow" hosts
by Remco Bressers 31 Mar '14

31 Mar '14

Dear list, A few of our routers in the network are terribly slow in handling the complete ifEntry from IF-MIB to Observium. This results in gaps in graphs and there’s no way to speed things up because of relatively broken/slow implementations in (in this case) Brocade XMR hardware. In the past we monitored ifInOctets/ifOutOctets and a few OID’s more. The full ifEntry is too heavy. Is there a way to deal with this, like a possibility to prevent polling the whole thing and skip certain unneeded OID’s. Are there any plans to enhance the poller for this possibility of is there any (filthy) hack known to do this? Any ideas on this would be great. We would definitely want to throw Cacti to /dev/null but due to this problem it’s not yet possible. Not necessary to say this again but we are very, very happy with Observium. Thanks Adam, Mike, Tom and others.. Regards, Remco Bressers Signet BV

Re: [Observium] delete ports?
by John Poznicek 30 Mar '14

30 Mar '14

Ok not sure what I am doing wrong here - there has to be a way to remove these unwanted nics. So you can see info here http://imgur.com/a/XNhO4 I have this in my config.php // bad interfaces $config['bad_if'][] = "NC-8100w"; I have gone into the database directly and marked the interfaces deleted. But they just get readded, delete gets removed - see the event log in the above screenshots. So I have turned off discovery for the device, and gone into the database and deleted the records of the intefaces. Which works for a bit - but then they show up again. This is a brother HL-3170cdw printer.. I don't know how I would delete the interface on the device directly. How do I remove these wireless interfaces from what observium shows. This printer will never use the wireless interfaces it has. So how do I remove them from observium showing them? You would think if I disable discovery of ports, and then delete them from the database they would never get put back.. But clearly they do - is there some step I am missing? If you need any other info just please ask. TIA

adding non snmp hosts?
by John Poznicek 30 Mar '14

30 Mar '14

So I have observium up and running, even smokeping integration which brings up my question. I have a few vpses, seedbox, webhost, etc. that I would like to add to my growing lists of devices in observium. But seems you can not add a device that doesn't have snmp? I don't want to monitor anything than the info than say my smokeping graphs in the same web interface. Be nice to show their location on the man graph as green/yellow/red etc.. My vps I might even add the unix agent grab some info from them.. But I don't really want or need snmp queries across the public net to them So how do you add these types of devices - they added smokeping integration to leverage the details it gives. So how can I just see these smokeping devices in the observium web interface without having to add the device via snmp? There doesn't seem to be a way to add a device without being able to talk to it via snmp?

Apparently, when req-in,QUERY exceeds a value of 2,147,483,648, the value that actually gets stored in the app-bind-122-req-in.rrd is: # rrdtool info app-bind-122-req-in.rrd | grep query ds[query].index = 0 ds[query].type = "DERIVE" ds[query].minimal_heartbeat = 600 ds[query].min = 0.0000000000e+00 ds[query].max = 7.5000000000e+06 >> ds[query].last_ds = "2147483647" << ds[query].value = 0.0000000000e+00 ds[query].unknown_sec = 0 This is despite the current value actually being: # ./bind | grep -i req-in,Q req-in,QUERY:2368417221 I initially thought there was an issue with a 32 bit vs 64 bit counter in the RRD itself, but it looks like ds[query].max is well above a 32bit variable's max value. I am at a loss as to where the problem may be and am hoping that someone on the mailing list can point me in the right direction. I can't believe I'm the first one to run into this issue actually... Here's what happens to my graph when this issue arises: This happens to other dns graphs as well, but it happens to this one the quickest, since it hits that 'limit' faster than the other counters do. Additionally, I'm running 0.14.3.5117 if that helps. If I restart named, the graph begins graphing properly again, but I don't want to consider that a 'fix', especially since I'd be resetting all of my bind servers every week. Doable, but not ideal. Thanks for any assistance, Ricardo

Monthly Thumbnails not Updating

It appears that my monthly graph thumbnails are not updating, but when I go into view the RRD from a monthly perspective the data is there. Check out the attached screen-shots to better explain the issue. I'm currently running the non subscription version. https://www.dropbox.com/s/mifk9lm9yp40ebh/Screen%20Shot%202014-03-27%20at%2 010.22.47%20AM.png https://www.dropbox.com/s/02teszwfy8rhfml/Screen%20Shot%202014-03-27%20at%2 010.23.38%20AM.png Thanks in advance!
