Minor OSPF page fixes

So, here are a few minor quick fixes to device/routing/ospf. I hope this lessens the tension here a bit.

How to use the new alerting system.
by Thomas Raabo - Zitcom A/S 03 Nov '13

03 Nov '13

I would like to create a 80 % interface utilzation alarm. If the threshold hits 5 times the alert should be generated. Do we have any documentation on the new interface? Thomas

control device ports via SNMP
by Bogdan Ghita 01 Nov '13

01 Nov '13

Hello I've been looking through the features of Observium but couldn't find out whether it includes functionality to disable or enable individual ports on a (monitored) switch/router via SNMP. I understand that this lies outside the scope of the software, but I thought I'd ask just in case it's there (or can be enabled optionally) and I missed it. If it isn't, could anybody recommend a management/monitoring software able to provide this? Best regards Bogdan

Frontpage map show province with ISO 3166-2
by Florian Znottka 01 Nov '13

01 Nov '13

Hello! Observium works for me like a charm, but I have a problem with the frontpage map: I can't get a province with a region ISO 3166-2 code (e.g. DE-SH) as a full map on the frontpage. Only working configuration is to show the whole country (e.g. DE) which is a bit to big. All co-locations of our servers are too close to each other (20 miles) , so that you can't figure out on the map, which location is which. My config.php so far: $config['frontpage']['map']['resolution'] = "provinces"; $config['frontpage']['map']['region'] = "DE-SH"; $config['frontpage']['map']['dotsize'] = "1"; error-message: Request map does not exist. Is my config file incorrect or does it not work? Or is there another method to zoom in on the map? Thanks for help Kind Regards Florian

Error drawing Graph
by Roman Romanyak 01 Nov '13

01 Nov '13

Hello everyone, I'm having strange issue, and spend a lot of time troubleshooting this without any success. Getting error 'error drawing graph' only for some devices only - EX4200 switches, which are located in the remote datacenter. After I started seeing issue, I install another switch here in local datacenter and added it to observium and its working good. Could be the issue in latency - the delay is about 30ms? discovery and poller scripts run good, the only thing I noticed that for the devices that don't work I in rrd/<device_name>/ files port-###.rrd are missing. The CPU and Memory graphs are working good, only network graphs are having errors. Thanks, Roman.

This is most certainly related to network conditions or polling frequency. The poller must run every 5 minutes. Make sure you are running the latest version (svn update) Adam.

traffic from transit/peering ports is not being generated

Gentlemen, I'm having trouble generating the graphics Transit / Peering, I put the description of the interface as described in the wiki ( http://www.observium.org/wiki/Interface_Description_Parsing), but when I go to the Ports menu -> Transit and Peering he do not show any graph. Below is some information about the descriptions: xe-0/0/0.3664 up up NTT Provider (AS2914) [2Gbps] Would be the case of removing part of [2Gbps]? He returns the following: Total Graph for ports of type: Transit None found. Regards! []s! -- Guilherme de Freitas Figueiredo

Upgrading to SVN stopped SNMP on my Zhones
by Brian Merrell 30 Oct '13

30 Oct '13

ZNID-GE-2424-NA-0GN- Zhone Indoor Network Interface Device; Release S2.5.073; We're looking at an 8 port zhone as well (better for triple play). I had 40 in that I need to monitor usage for but because of the SNMP issues affected by existing method of usage collection I have to take them out until I know i have a stable new setup for them with this. We have more but don't need to collect stats on all of them as that usually becomes somewhat cost prohibitive.

Upgrading to SVN stopped SNMP on my Zhones
by Brian Merrell 30 Oct '13

30 Oct '13

Code where this issue crops up appears to be 4711. 4710 looks like it works but 4711 seems to struggle through the poller process. I'm not sure that it isn't the discovery as I have gotten that exact and I'm still on a learning curve here. That said, 4710 is working right now on my zhones so I'm going keep testing on it.

Upgrading to SVN stopped SNMP on my Zhones
by Brian Merrell 30 Oct '13

30 Oct '13

Zhone's are being detected as "GENERIC" which is fine for as long as I get my port data. I started using Observium just last week and in the Open Source version and it gathered data fine all weekend for my Zhone switches. Changing over to the SVN and updating seems to be causing my zhones to stop responding to SNMP. Allied and Alcatel devices (which have the MIBS built in) work fine. Is there a specific SVN version that correlates to the Edition Split that I could try and go back too to see if that poller or discovery works better for these devices? Anybody else notice this? I've been looking for a couple hours and don't see much trouble with the poller like this lately.

Percentage ratio between two graphs ?

Hi Everyone, I'd be interested to know if there is a way to get some percentage ratio between two graphs. I was thinking of my transit and peering graphs for instance, but could be between two (or more) other graphs. Any ideas ? Maybe it's something already on the roadmap somewhere ?

Juniper MX memory issue
by Steve Rossen 29 Oct '13

29 Oct '13

Is anyone else using Observium on the Juniper MX80 platform? I know the MX960 is listed as supported but not the smaller one and we are seeing an odd memory issue that lines up perfectly with when we started polling it with Observium. Attached/linked image shows the last 12 months of memory usage on a MX5. Not sure if it is related to Observium or not so reaching out to see if other are seeing a similar slow memory climb or not. http://i.imgur.com/9PET5L3.png

pfSense SNMP daemon crashes after update to r4711
by Stefano Cordio 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

Hello guys, yesterday I updated my Observium (Centos 6.4) to the r4711 and I noticed that all my pfSense firewalls (5 hosts, two 2.0.3 and three 2.1) became down. On every host, the SNMP daemon was crashed. I tried to restart the daemon on every pfSense, but it crashed again and it seems to me that it crashes during the next cycle of polling (the discovery seems to go fine). Today I tried to update to the r4715 but I'm experiencing the same problem. Has anyone experienced something like that? How can I go deeper? Thanks for any hints, Kind Regards Stefano

Hi I've noticed this afternoon that I'm no longer able to enter the character 'x' or 'X' in any input field. Pasting the character works but not normal keyboard input. All other characters seam to work as before. A work collogue has the same problem. So I think it's not the browser. The new behaviour seams to be on one of the changes since Thursday. I had a look at them and can't see and thing suspicious. I currently run svn version 4715. Any Idea where to look ...
