Disable BGP Alerts/Polling for Single Router
by Chip Pleasants 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

Hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Is there anyway to disable BGP alerts/polling for single router? I see this similar to port disabled from Observiums perspective. I've set "Device Ignore" and "Disable" but still see the bgp alerts on the front page. http://www.observium.org/wiki/Port_disable_vs._ignore -Chip

Enable Google Map
by Maxence BITTERLI 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

Hello, I'm trying to enable the google map like on live demo exemple but I found few documention about it. Actually I found some information on Observium Wiki : http://www.observium.org/wiki/Configuration_Options#Geocoding_Configuration Even if I set : $config['geocoding']['api'] = 'google'; I still got the black&white map. Any clue ? A part of my config.php : $config['geocoding']['enable'] = true; $config['geocoding']['api'] = 'google'; $config['geocoding']['default']['lat'] = "37.7463058"; $config['geocoding']['default']['lon'] = "-25.6668573"; $config['frontpage']['map']['region'] = "world"; $config['frontpage']['map']['resolution'] = "countries"; $config['frontpage']['map']['dotsize'] = 5; $config['frontpage']['map']['realworld'] = false; Max

Hello, I have an acme packet net-net 4000. In the version 0.14.2.5010 our acme packet device is coming up as a generic device. Was this device included in the support for Acme Packets or do I need to update something on our acme packet device? SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: Acme Packet Net-Net 4000 Series SBC SC6.1.0 MR-11 Patch 3 (Build 1048) SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9148.1.1.1 Thanks, Mike

Adding MIBs
by Josh Hopper 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

We have several SonicWALL firewalls that are SNMP capable but do not work when you try to add them via ./add_device.php. Since I was able to add our 2400 series SonicWALLs to Observium I just assume there is a file missing somewhere. Does anyone have experience adding MIBs/OIDs to Observium? -- Sincerely, Joshua Hopper, A+ CE Network Administrator [cid:image001.jpg@01CF2D61.FBED3C20] 420 3rd Ave NW Hickory NC 28601 Office: 828-449-1839x2160 | Cell: 828-855-7565

Unable to add standby Cisco ASA
by Erik INGEBERG 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

Hi, I'm trying to add the standby Cisco ASA firewalls we have in our active/standby failover pairs. I am able to add our ASA-SM (ASA service modules), but not the "normal" ASA's or PIX firewalls. Unfortunately, a Cisco ASA failover pair shares the same "sysName" and "snmpEngineID". This is not configurable on the ASA firewalls. When I try to add a standby ASA (with a different hostname / IP address) I get the following error: Already got device with SNMP-read sysName (xxxxxxxxxxx) and 'snmpEngineID' = xxxxxxxxxxx (xxxxxxxxxxx). I see that this is because of a check in "functions.php". Is there any workaround you can think of to allow us to add the standby devices? It is essential for us to monitor them, and we were also hoping to use Observium as our hardware inventory database (which is now missing all standby ASA's). Regards, Erik

Does observium do a full snmp walk each time the poller for stats run?
by Reigner Yrastorza 19 Feb '14

Does observium do a full snmp walk each time the poller for stats run? We are seeing a high load/ports failing on our OOB cisco routers/switches (which are not high-end devices), when we have observium monitoring it. Thanks!

CentOS authentication timeout
by Teixeira, Mike 17 Feb '14

17 Feb '14

Hello, I started to have an intermittent issue with users being forced to login when they browse the webpage. I have the timeout settings defined in php.ini: session.use_cookies = 1 session.use_only_cookies = 1 session.cookie_lifetime = 259200 session.cookie_path = / session.cookie_domain = session.cookie_httponly = Socket timeouts are set to the following in php.ini: default_socket_timeout = 259200 I did have a lifetime cookie set to 0 and socket_timeout to 14400. Users that had the issue had a cookie. My authentication mechanism is AD-LDAP. Any other advice on where to look to find out why users are being forced to login intermittently? I have had a hard time tracking this issue down since it is so intermittent. Thanks, Mike

Persistence of data in Observium
by Teixeira, Mike 14 Feb '14

14 Feb '14

Hello, Recently our network team upgraded one of our devices. Upon doing so some of the ifIndexes changed on the device. So we lost some history on some of the ports where the ifindex changed. Another situation, we use the port description mapping for tracking transit, peering, core ports. We moved a peer from one switch to another in one of our ports to upgrade the capacity. When we did that we lost the history in the aggregate graph because the old port doesn't have the port description anymore denoting it is a peer. Any tips on how to keep history on ports in those situations? I was thinking of outputting the data to a separate RRD or database. But, then I don't get to use the awesome observium interface to view that data. Thanks, Mike

Re: [Observium] Transit link not working

Ping settings don't apply when set in config.php
by Nathan Phelan 13 Feb '14

13 Feb '14

Hi Guys, I've just updated our version to the subscription one and found several of our devices now show in Observium as going up and down. After a big of digging it looks like this is because their latency is around the 50ms mark and they fluctuate up and down around 5ms so the default ping timeout times out. I tried setting the following in config.php but the behaviour did not change. Ping Settings $config['ping']['timeout'] = 500; # timeout in ms $config['ping']['retries'] = 6; # how many times to retry the query I added a bit of code to the debug to print out the values of $timeout and $retries in the isPingable function and found that it didn't matter what was set in config.php the values would always end up at $timeout=50 and $retries=1. I set them manually in the function just above $sleep and it kicked in and worked and the up/down notifications behaved as they used to. Have I goofed up the config.php somehow (I used the same as above) or is something else NQR somewhere? All other options in config.php seem to work and php -l config.php returns "No syntax errors detected in config.php" Cheers, Nathan Phelan
