Pseudowire Cisco-Juniper monitoring
by Rutger Bevaart 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

Just setup a hybrid Cisco to Juniper pseudo wire. It is detected by Observium just fine on the Cisco side, but not on the Juniper side showing a half circuit. Can I somehow get this working without reverting to a Cisco-Cisco setup? Regards Rutger

observium NGINX report
by Fakrul Alam 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

I am trying to pulling nginx nginx_status from observium. But when I run the nginx script I got the following error: ./nginx <<<nginx>>> Traceback (most recent call last): File "./nginx", line 35, in <module> Active = int(params["Reading"]) + int(params["Writing"]) + int(params["Waiting"]) KeyError: 'Reading' Observium is not generating any graph for NGINX. Other SNMP query on that server is ok and I can view all report. Thanks Fakrul

Graphs Issue
by Josh Hopper 11 Dec '13

11 Dec '13

Hello Observium Members, I have a slight issue with my graphs. I've installed the free version of Observium and can log into the web interface easily. When I add a device to Observium using the CLI it has no issue adding the device. However, when I run a ./poller.php -h all it says that there is no rrd directory. All the graphs have a "Data Error" on them. So, I create the rrd folder and run again. Then data populates. However, it doesn't list any graphics for the graphs. The graph is present without issue but there is no traffic. It is all of them (System, Netstats and Poller).

Mount points on windows
by Carlos Martinez 10 Dec '13

10 Dec '13

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. Getting Lun ID's would be great help too. ________________________________ This message may contain confidential or privileged information.

MIB development
by Johnathon Voegeli 09 Dec '13

09 Dec '13

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
by BERTRAND Adrien [BPCE Assurances] 09 Dec '13

09 Dec '13

Hi, Just a little question about adding a MIB from the CheckPoint Gaia OS to my Observium server : Do I need to restart the service ? Does the file need to have a specific name ? Can I put it in the "CheckPoint" folder directly, or do I need to specify a pointer ? Thanks by advance :-) Sincerely, Adrien BERTRAND Administrateur Sécurité du Système d'Information Information security administrator BPCE Assurances 88 av. de France, 75013 Paris Tel : (+33)1.42.79.47.81 [Description : Q_BPCE_Assurances.jpg]

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

Billing/Invoicing Integration Options
by James Bastnagel 06 Dec '13

06 Dec '13

Is anyone aware of any option--built in or 3rd party, that would automate or help in creating invoices based on a template to be sent to customers? I have traffic bills set up within Observium, but this only appears to be about 1/2 the battle. Thank you in advance! James

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

Clarification
by Ryan Milton 06 Dec '13

I am not sure how the Unix agent works, or what It's supposed to do. Is it in case one can't get SNMP running-say like on an OpenBSD box? Or am I off?

graphing question
by Joshua Elson 05 Dec '13

05 Dec '13

Hi guys, I have a question on graphing. Last week I took some screen shots of our graphs for a specific simulation and then checked again this week for the exact same time periods and the numbers are the same, but the graphs are different. How does the graphing work exactly? In this first picture, we were wondering why the 225.05k isn't showing on the graph. It only goes up to 40k: [cid:image001.jpg@01CEF109.7988A100] When I checked this exact same graph with the same date and time stamp a week later, the numbers are the exact same, but the graph has changed although still doesn't go up to 225.05k, but does go up higher to 75k: [cid:image002.jpg@01CEF109.7988A100] Any help or insight is greatly appreciated!

SVN Errors - Paid Subscription
by Jason Ross 03 Dec '13

03 Dec '13

My apologies if this has been answered, but I searched and did not find the answer in the archives or the documentation. I'm also a Windows admin and not nearly as familiar with linux or the apache web server so I've been fumbling around the internet quite a bit to get this going. Ubuntu 13.04 Observium Revision 13.10.4585 Followed Ubuntu Installation page exactly. Most everything is working thus far, but from what I've found online, at least one of the items that isn't working was fixed in later versions. I paid the subscription and submitted a username / password hash. After receiving the confirmation email from Adam I tried to use the "svn checkout http://svn.observium.org/svn/observium/trunk/ observium" command to download the latest version. However, I get a couple error messages and I'm wondering if I need to configure the svn client before it will work. Or I may even be entering the username / password incorrectly? Below is the error messages that I receive whether I use an incorrect username/password combo or the one I submitted. "svn: E175002: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'http://svn.observium.org/svn/observium/trunk' " and "svn: E175002 OPTIONS of 'http://svn.observium.org/svn/obserium/trunk' : could not read status line: connection was closed by server (http://svn.observium.org)" Thanks guys, love the product so far!

Updating from before the subscription scheme
by James Bensley 03 Dec '13

03 Dec '13

Hi All, I want to update my Observium install for which I would normally run `svn update` however I haven't updated since the subscription scheme was initiated. Firstly, I'm happy with the subscription option, it's a worthy cause so I will be paying my 100 squid tomorrow or the day after. In the mean though if I run `svn update` now (I'm in a rush to update), will I just hit an svn authentication error and it won't update, or will it update then shit the bed? I don't want to fuck my perfectly happy instance of Observium and the funds aren't mine for a couple of days until the higher ups give it to me. I'm happy to wait though. Cheers, James.

Ubuntu 13.10 Install
by Pieter De Wit 02 Dec '13

02 Dec '13

Hi Guys, I got my observium working on 13.10. Instead of "Allow from All" in apache, they now need "Require IP", so my config now has the following in the Directory: <Directory "/opt/observium/html/"> Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Require ip 192.168 </Directory> Seems to work then. This is all based on the instructions on the wiki page. I will shout if I find more broken things and how to fix. Cheers, Pieter

How to enable bulkwalk?
by Shayne Lebrun 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

I'm probably missing something really obvious, but how do you get Observium to use bulkwalk instead of walk? Currently using revision 4586. Trying to get poller times down, running: poller.php -h 51 -d to debug, and it sticks on this command: /usr/bin/snmpwalk -v2c -c 'COMMNAME' -OQUs -m IF-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs 'udp':'x.x.x.x':'161' ifXEntry Which makes sense, as there's an awful lot of interfaces on that particular device. Running that command manually, using time, gives me: real 2m35.743s user 0m0.326s sys 0m0.168s Replacing /usr/bin/snmpwalk with /usr/bin/snmpbulkwalk and running again gives me: real 0m14.914s user 0m0.080s sys 0m0.038s I'd much rather have this take 15 seconds than 110. I could have sworn I saw something somewhere about setting some different snmpwalk flags, but I can't find anything in the docs, the faqs, the archives, the googles. But it's Friday, so, again, I'm probably missing something obvious. Thanks.
