CPU's on mikrotik
by David Peall 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

Servers appear quite nicely with a compound graph but my Mikrotik routers have one per CPU is this just something that could be done easily? Also I think the SNMP for the CPU name is below I’ve got 2 examples: SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.47.1.1.1.1.7.65536 = STRING: “tilegx” SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.47.1.1.1.1.7.65536 = STRING: "MIPS 24Kc V7.4" vs Thanks — David Peall Domain Name Services

delete ports?
by John Poznicek 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

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

port_descr fields
by Martin Smith 26 Mar '14

All, Hopefully a quick question about port descriptions. It seems that pot_descr_type and port_descr_descr are gathered from the port description separated by a ":" colon. How are the other fields (port_descr_circuit, port_descr_speed and port_descr_notes) populated? [cid:image002.png@01CF4850.C237BCD0] Thanks!

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? Thanks for your help. Regards, Marco Met vriendelijke groet/ Kind regards, Marco Spicuglia Network engineer - Programmer ReasonNet B.V. Gyroscoopweg 134 - 140 1042AZ Amsterdam W. www.reasonnet.com E.

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.

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?

Best managed PDU for *NIX style systems for snmp support?
by Kaya Saman 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

Hi, I've been using Observium for a few months now and really enjoy it! I currently have a fully managed/switched PDU which has been under RMA for what feels like forever and the best advice the manufacturer could give me was to return the unit back to my reseller?? I'm not quite sure what's going to happen with it yet so I just wanted to know what the best or most compatible PDU is for *NIX systems?? I'm running Observium on FreeBSD 10 64bit. Basically the current PDU I have keeps bombing out under SNMP queries as snmpwalking the device either comes up with "snmp timed out" or totally the wrong protocol?? It's supposed to support v1 and v3 but the MIB response I get is for v2c? I know that Observium supports APC and two others as per listed on the Support page on the site. Which one is the most NIX friendly? Having read the documentation for the APC models, they can be updated over FTP or SCP which is perfect unlike my current model which needs an M$ exe program and since my network is OpenSource only OS wise it's basically an issue..... It seems to be a bad SNMP stack in my opinion as I've never had any issues using SNMP previously with many different vendors for network and peripheral devices. Observium even goes as far as graphing my HP print servers Toner values which is soo cool :-) Can anyone give me any advice? -- I was actually looking at this model: http://www.apc.com/products/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=AP… as a replacement. Many thanks. Kaya

GeoLocation
by Johnathon Voegeli 21 Mar '14

Quick question... We are a small WISP and I am trying to add all the WAPs to the map... if I do something like this: $config['location_map']['VIE Office'] = "35.476475, -80.992856"; It looks perfect on the map, however under the location menu of course it shows these coordinates as well... Is there anyway to get the SysLocation to show in the location field, but the map display correctly? Or is this a pipe dream. ~JV

Session issues - automatically logged out frequently/instantly
by Chris Wopat 20 Mar '14

20 Mar '14

Hi list folks, I've had an issue with Observium since I *think* 4152 (http://fisheye.observium.org/changelog/Observium?cs=4152) where some authentication stuff was changed. Symptoms are once you log in, your next click may have your session already expired. As an example, I can log in, type something in the search bar, it may immediately report that the session is expired. If I simply leave the browser open on a page, it typically will just auto expire at some random period of time, all of which is under an hour. It appears to be very random so difficult to troubleshoot. This happens weather you choose to save your session or not. I've enabled PHP session debugging to write to files, contents of those seem fine. I've also cleared out `users_ckeys` table, no changes. I've also enabled php error logging in my apache config, but observium is overwritting this with ini_set all over the place which makes that somewhat futile. I've tested this on multiple systems, with built in auth and LDAP auth. Common denominator in this case is that my systems are FreeBSD, not Linux. Basically I'm checking if anyone else has encountered this at all, or if any other FreeBSD users are NOT having any issues. Info about my main observium install: FreeBSD 9.1 PHP+Modules 5.4.20 I've tested with PHP's APC on and off php Memory limit = 256 I've mentioned this with devs many times over the last 6 months, they effectively consider FreeBSD unsupported so don't really care. It all certainly worked perfectly prior to that auth update, nothing has changed on my systems since then except standard package updates. Thoughts? --Chris

KVM Virtual Machine Monitoring
by Lane Eckley 20 Mar '14

20 Mar '14

Hi Guys, Our purchase of the subscription version of Observium is pending, but meanwhile I am looking to see if anyone has been using the KVM virtual machine monitoring built into Observium. I am curious if Observium is pulling the CPU, RAM, etc. for the KVM virtual machines running on each of the hypervisors or if its only monitoring whether the virtual machine is powered on or not. I read over the documentation, but unfortunately was unable to get it working at all thus far and am assuming its due to the free version not supporting. Thanks in advance! -Lane

Problems with MIBS included with observium...
by Ricardo M Meleschi 20 Mar '14

Hello, Does anyone else see a large number of MIBs that cause errors when attempting to do snmp walks/gets? When I had the free version of Observium, I simply removed the offending MIBs from /opt/observium/mibs but since I have moved to the SVN version, this may become more of an annoyance since I will be updating frequently, and may actually need the MIBs as I find other uses for Observium. I'm getting many errors similar to this: Cannot find module (ZYXEL-MIB): At line 10 in /opt/observium/mibs/220AQV1C0-private However, in this case (and probably many others) ZYXEL-MIB exists just fine in /opt/observium/mibs/zyxel/ZYXEL-MIB. My snmp.conf is as follows: /opt/observium/mibs# cat /etc/snmp/snmp.conf # # As the snmp packages come without MIB files due to license reasons, loading # of MIBs is disabled by default. If you added the MIBs you can reenable # loaging them by commenting out the following line. #mibDirs +/sw/share/snmp/mibs:/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp:/opt/observium/mibs mibDirs +/opt/observium/mibs mibs all showMibErrors no I am sure I'm just missing something simple but it's escaping me at the moment. Thanks, Ricardo Meleschi
