We should do some adjustments to the site so this type of thing is clear immediately. Adam has been putting it off because he wants a different backend for the actual site, but I'll see if I can make some improvements tonight already. Features in sub edition should be marked as such, etc. Tom Nikolay Shopik <shopik(a)inblock.ru> wrote: >Billing only available on commercial version > >> On 30 дек. 2013 г., at 13:55, Daniel Rolfe <daniel.rolfe.au(a)gmail.com> wrote: >> >> HI All, >> >> Really wanting to use the billing feature. >> >> I've installed the latest opensource version (Observium CE 0.13.10.4585) >> >> Running Ubuntu 13.04 i386 under openvz. >> >> Followed the instructions for Debian based install word for word. >> >> Added a hp switch and the below config to my config.php under the MySQL details: >> >> $config['enable_billing'] = 1; # Enable Billing >> $config['billing']['customer_autoadd'] = 1; # Enable Auto-add bill per customer >> $config['billing']['circuit_autoadd'] = 1; # Enable Auto-add bill per circuit_id >> $config['billing']['bill_autoadd'] = 1; # Enable Auto-add bill per bill_id >> >> >> In the web GUI under ports I don't see the billing option like is visible on the observium demo >> >> Anyone know what is going wrong ? >> >> I also don't have the billing cron files ? >> >> root@observium:/etc/cron.d# locate poll-billing.php >> >> >> root@observium:/etc/cron.d# locate billing >> /opt/observium/html/billing-graph.php >> /opt/observium/html/includes/api/module.billing.inc.php >> /opt/observium/html/js/billing.js >> /opt/observium/html/pages/api/manual.billing.inc.php >> /opt/observium/includes/billing.php >> /opt/observium/upgrade-scripts/fix-billing-2758.inc.php >> root@observium:/etc/cron.d# >> >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> observium mailing list >> observium(a)observium.org >> http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium >_______________________________________________ >observium mailing list >observium(a)observium.org >http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium

Apache rewrite question
by Christos Panagiotakis 30 Dec '13

30 Dec '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Before anyone wants to crucify me, I saw this: "Installing Observium on RHEL/CentOS is not directly supported by the development team, so you must be competent enough to debug it yourself. We will not provide assistance on the mailing list or IRC channel with running Observium on any platform other than Debian/Ubuntu." And I respect it. But I made everything to work perfect except one thing only and I am mad. On a RHEL 6 server I installed observium to /home/observium with observium (user) as owner running fcgi and not mod_php running as root / nobody or apache. Normal user. I made the cron work, permissions ok, everything ok under the normal user. The only thing I couldn't understand is the rewrite. I was getting a "No file specified" So I dig it. I had to change it from: RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1/ to: RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1/ [L] to make it work. And it worked. I can see everything like: host/devices/ host/device/device=2/ host/device/device=2/tab=graphs/ host/device/device=2/tab=graphs/group=system/ (and so on..) everything except this evil thing: When I am trying to edit a device properties to -for example- override the system location (Override sysLocation) I am getting this url: host/device/device=2/tab=edit/%2Fdevice%2Fdevice=2%2Ftab%3Dedit%2F/touch=yes/ Not Found The requested URL /device/device=2/tab=edit//device/device=2/tab=edit//touch=yes/ was not found on this server. I repeat, everything else works great. I can add devices, poller works, I can add users / dig and surf the frontend except this.

Billing quota data collection
by Teixeira, Mike 30 Dec '13

30 Dec '13

Hello, I have some ports in my billing environment that are pushing data outbound only. The table bill_data is not collecting on the ports that are outbound only. When I look at the setup of the billing id, it has a direction of in. Is the only way to change that direction to out is by editing the database directly? What determines that direction? Thanks, Mike

Billing support ?
by Daniel Rolfe 30 Dec '13

30 Dec '13

HI All, Really wanting to use the billing feature. I've installed the latest opensource version (Observium CE 0.13.10.4585) Running Ubuntu 13.04 i386 under openvz. Followed the instructions for Debian based install word for word. Added a hp switch and the below config to my config.php under the MySQL details: $config['enable_billing'] = 1; # Enable Billing $config['billing']['customer_autoadd'] = 1; # Enable Auto-add bill per customer $config['billing']['circuit_autoadd'] = 1; # Enable Auto-add bill per circuit_id $config['billing']['bill_autoadd'] = 1; # Enable Auto-add bill per bill_id In the web GUI under ports I don't see the billing option like is visible on the observium demo Anyone know what is going wrong ? I also don't have the billing cron files ? root@observium:/etc/cron.d# locate poll-billing.php root@observium:/etc/cron.d# locate billing /opt/observium/html/billing-graph.php /opt/observium/html/includes/api/module.billing.inc.php /opt/observium/html/js/billing.js /opt/observium/html/pages/api/manual.billing.inc.php /opt/observium/includes/billing.php /opt/observium/upgrade-scripts/fix-billing-2758.inc.php root@observium:/etc/cron.d#

Real-time graphs not handling much about 1gbps (64-bit problem?)
by Stephen Fulton 26 Dec '13

26 Dec '13

Hi all, I'm running community edition v0.13.10.4585 and polling a few C6500's and a Cisco Nexus 7k. I have a number of 10GE interfaces and 10GE etherchannel bundles. The 5 minute graphing appears to work fine, the numbers are accurate when I compare against another monitoring system in production. However, when I run a "real time" poll against an interface or port-channel, of any duration (2 secs to 60 secs), the numbers never crack much above 1gbps, and there are often negative numbers. This suggests 64-bit counters are not being used or being interpreted correctly, but I haven't looked at the code. Has anyone else seen this? If so, did I mess something up with the install or is there something I can do? Thanks, -- Stephen

Alerting system: multiple associations
by Stefano Cordio 24 Dec '13

24 Dec '13

Hey guys, I have the following alert checker: As you can see, the checker is applied only to server devices but I'd like to extend that to storage devices. Is there a simple way to modify the device match rule in something like "type equals (server or storage)"? I tried searching any suggestion on the wiki and on the mail archive, but I didn't find anything. Thanks for any hints, Stefano

Unix Agent
by Ryan Milton 23 Dec '13

23 Dec '13

Still not quite understanding Unix Agent--- from the sounds of it, it has to be installed on all servers that Observium monitors? I finally have SNMP running on FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and from the FAQ's, etc, it really seems that I should bypass Net-SNMP with Observium. Regards, Ryan Milton

Network Dependencies
by Johnathon Voegeli 22 Dec '13

22 Dec '13

Hey guys, I am using the beta version of observium updated with svn with the server running in a datacenter in one US state and some of the SNMP agents in several others. It works perfect with one site, however the other has terrible internet connecting the site, and we lose vpn every once in a while. It immediately comes back, however when it polls while the site is down we receive 20-30 emails about devices being down when in fact it is the internet connection. Is there a way (or a plan in the future) to set dependencies on polling? For example if the Router/Modem does not respond then send an alert as down, but it knows that in fact if it can't talk past the router then obviously the rest will show as down as well so the alerts won't bombard our email? ~JV Johnathon Voegeli jvoegeli(a)voigtie.com<mailto:jvoegeli@voigtie.com>

Skip Memory Pools by regex
by Robert Williams 21 Dec '13

21 Dec '13

Hi, Can anyone tell me if it's possible to 'skip' polling of memory pools using their names (or regex) like you can with interfaces? I need to remove the "reserved" and "image" memory pools which are detected on all of our ASR9k units as they are all 100% (by nature) so are always red. Example below/attached: It's probably staring me in the face but despite trawling the config options I cannot see one for memory pools - Any ideas? Cheers!

Auto Discovered Device

Hi All In my Observium installation there is a new Device named "core" appearing every 6h (expect from the discover process) after 12h I have two of them and so on. If I delete them the reappear. I do not know from where this comes. Is there any way to find out how observium finds this device? If not, what's the best way to prevent Observium from automatically adding new devices ?

Email Alerts with Mail/Sendmail Not Working
by sysadmin＠boyah.net 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Hello, I'm having an issue getting Observium to send email alerts. 1. SysContact is set on the client device. 2. Sending test mail from monitoring server via sendmail on command line works fine. 3. Observium config.php has following configuration: $config['alerts']['email']['enable'] = TRUE; $config['alerts']['port']['ifdown'] = TRUE; $config['alerts']['email']['default'] = "notif…(a)xx.net"; $config['email_backend'] = 'mail'; $config['email_from'] = "MTR <mtr...(a)xx.net>"; $config['email_sendmail_path'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail'; $config['alerts']['interval'] = 900; Setup a demo device, ensured it was polling and reporting correctly, then force-shutdown the demo. No mail sent by Observium. In mail.log, nothing reported (except for the successful test message I sent via command line). Maybe I'm misunderstanding. Will Observium send an email alert when a monitored device goes down, when configured this way? How can I achieve this? Many thanks in advance to anyone who can offer advice.

This should be a fresh start for permissions and graphing that we’ve been discussing correct?

However, I still only get –nan in the data fields, which furthers my belief that I’m missing something having to do with folder permissions. Can someone give a list of folders that need to have specific permissions set? And if you’re feeling REALLY generous, maybe even what the permissions should be with knowing that everything was installed using the root user?

Graph Data only displays -nan

NFSEN Integration Issues
by Brian Morgan 17 Dec '13

17 Dec '13

Hello, The recent netflow question, reminded me that I needed to finish configuring nfsen on our box. I started going through the process of configuring observium, but no matter what I put in the config file, the suffix would not be removed. Digging into the code it looks like the logic was there in the /html/includes/functions.inc.php to check and use strstr to remove the domain name. But the string that was created was never actually used to open the rrd file. I have updated our functions.inc.php to use $nfsen_filename instead of $basefilename_underscored when creating the $nfsen_rrd_filename variable and the integration is now working. Who should I reach out to discuss our small changes to functions.inc.ph in regards to nfsen integration? Also is it okay to share code snippets of the latest svn branch on this list? Thank you, Brian

So I am a paid subscriber to the SVN edition, I was wonder what the costs are to sponsor a feature? I have no problems kicking in to donate money when needed, especially to get such a great product out of it. But I have no clue ho much does a feature cost? ________________________________ This message may contain confidential or privileged information.
