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

I have updated to the most recent version via SVN and it constantly logs me out of the web interface... all the graphs will die and it will say session expired after about 10 or 15 seconds of being logged in.

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?

Google Maps

Prezados, boa noite! Gostaria de saber se ja é possível ativar o mapa do Google, igual ao da demostração, na página do observium, utilizando a versão comunitária. Gostaria também de deixar uma mensagem de protesto contra a política de versões comunitárias e pagas. Eu até entendo os motivos, mas não concordo de forma alguma. Se alguém puder responder minha dúvida sobre o google maps agradeço! Obrigado. Dear, good night! I wonder if you can already activate the Google map, same as the demo, in observium page, using the community version. I would also like to leave a message of protest against the policy community and paid versions. I can understand the reasons, but I do not agree at all. If anyone can answer my questions about the google maps thanks! Thank you.

Issues with bind graphs - Where to start looking?
by Ricardo M Meleschi 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

Hello everyone, I've identified an issue with storing of values that are grabbed by the unix-agent. Specifically, a problem with the bind sub-agent. 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

I have looked and looked and can not find how to delete ports. There are many ports that are added when pointing to my windows machine for example, old interfaces, etc. tunnels that are not listed ipconfig /all, etc. How do you delete them? Do you have to edit the $config['bad_if'] to include the names of the interfaces you dont want? TIA

SVI - Vlan IF graphs
by Marco Spicuglia 26 Mar '14

26 Mar '14

Hello there, I would like to monitor SVI bandwidth on those devices that support such counters. I activated the etherlike mib option in the config and started polling a Nexus 6k, which supports snmp counters on vlan interfaces. I see the snmp counters increasing on the switch, but I see only blank graphs on vlan interfaces, which are properly detected, including their status. The device is properly polled for anything else and it seems that all needed mibs are already included in your distribution. I am running the latest stable release. Any idea? Am I missing anything?

Wrong ports counter / reset counter
by Onno van der Leun 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

Hi, I've some weird behaviour with observium. Since some time the ports counter on the frontpage is displaying wrong values. Eg. It's showing that there are 264 ports down, but when I click the link, there are only 23 ports down. Also when I add up the up, down, ignored and disabled ports, the total number (13326) is less than the number observium shows under 'total' (14991) Does anyone have an idea where to look? Or is there a way to reset the counters? Thanks! Onno.

Hi, Maybe you want to include, in the installation tutorial, the solution tot he virtualhost permission problem under Ubuntu 13.10 : Solution ist to have a virtualhost like this ( "Require all granted" is the key option) : VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot /opt/observium/html/ ServerName test.domain.tld CustomLog /opt/observium/logs/access_log combined ErrorLog /opt/observium/logs/error_log <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> <Directory /opt/observium/html/> Require all granted Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> </VirtualHost> I think it will be help a lot of users as this is the only issue I met with the Ubuntu 13.10 distro. Best regards!

asynchronous interface alerting
by Bastiaan Topper 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

Hi all, Is there any way of alerting on TX/RX load of an interface (ATM and other xDSL interfaces)? We use mostly Cisco and so we can configure bandwidth and bandwidth receive, so we could define the asynchronous bandwidths. Observium gets the ifSpeed from the bandwidth value, so if we define an alert for TX/RX load, it will almost always report on wrong loads. Interface bandwidth is adopted from the ATM sync speeds, but this is the TX load, the RX load isn't reported on the interface normally. We could define this manually or Observium could maybe get this from the DSL statistics. [cid:image001.png@01CF473C.15E85030] [cid:image002.png@01CF473C.15E85030] So use the TX and RX values from the DSL statistics: [cid:image003.png@01CF473C.80BD6760] Is this already possible or could this otherwise be built? Met vriendelijke groet, Bastiaan Topper

Hi Tom, Thank you for the response I actually did the following command and it still wont work. Is 'observium db password' the root password for mysql ?
