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

Possibillity of netflow collector and Graphing
by Gustav UHLANDER 17 Dec '13

Hello everyone. Are there any plans for supporting Netflow on observium? I think that it would be a great complement to the present graphs and billing system. Bästa hälsningar / Best regards, Gustav Uhlander

Cron (silly) question
by Christos Panagiotakis 16 Dec '13

16 Dec '13

Why you mention to use cron files ? On an EL system (Centos 6.5 specifically) I just use crontab -e and it works fine for weeks now: [root@devil ~]# crontab -u root -l 33 */6 * * * /opt/observium/discovery.php -h all >> /dev/null 2>&1 */5 * * * * /opt/observium/discovery.php -h new >> /dev/null 2>&1 */5 * * * * /opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py 5 >> /dev/null 2>&1 [root@devil ~]# (just wondering if there is a specific reason...) -- Christos Panagiotakis Systems and Networks Administrator MyIP net-Works (http://www.myip.gr) Addr: Kanari 5 St. 67100 Xanthi, Greece Tel : +30.25410-68185 +30.69837-12389

sponsoring a feature request.
by Carlos Martinez 16 Dec '13

16 Dec '13

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.

Checking the Juniper docs it seems that there is MIB support in JUNIPER-VPN-MIB… If I snmpwalk 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.26 I do indeed get the pseudowire status from the box… I put it here: http://pastebin.com/mMuhdKbA 123456789 is the sanitized pseudo wire ID… Not having looked at the Cisco MIB for this, is it remotely similar making this a doable adventure?

Mount points on windows

Hello, Is there a way to see mount point storage under storage on a windows server? I have a few exchange servers with all of the drives configured as mount points from the SAN as there are not enough drive letters to add them as local disks.

MIB development

I am by no means a developer. We currently use a lot of AudioCodes MediaPacks and Mediants for 911 VoIP solutions and are in need of monitoring the traffic from them. Is there anyone out there that would be willing to develop the observium MIB integration for us? We would gladly pay if need be and supply the MIBs. Or could someone point us in the right direction if this is the incorrect place to ask? Thanks! Johnathon

Adding a MIB

snmp and unix-agent question
by Christos Panagiotakis 07 Dec '13

07 Dec '13

It might sounds stupid but I wanted to ask anyway. :-) The same way the snmp works for distro and parsing the distro data, using: extend .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.7890.1 distro /usr/bin/distro is there a way to use the same or similar for unix-agent ? And parse all the unix-agent data plus any local scripts through snmp ? The purpose to this is to parse the information of workstations behind multiple local networks with one single IP seeing the internet on every lan. So I can use NAT/port forwarding to get different snmpd ports for every workstation on one IP, but I cannot use unix-agent. Is there a way? Thanks in advance, Chris

Database Query option in footer
by Teixeira, Mike 06 Dec '13

06 Dec '13

Hello, There used to be a database query option in the footer of the page that told you what database queries were used to build the page. I can't seem to find that option in the configuration options. Is that option to have that still available? I used that to see the relationships between the database tables. So in my data warehouse I could create reports concerning billing, links between switches, IOS revisions, etc. Thanks, Mike
