EX4200/4550 VC - Port Polling ~200 Seconds
by Tyler Christiansen 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

Testing Observium, I've noticed that polling an EX4200/4550 with Observium takes about 200 seconds. There are around 300 ports, and I've noticed that Observium polls the logical interfaces as separate from the physical interfaces. I considered disabling logical interface polling, but the logical interfaces are used for a lot of port correlations, etc. Cacti with Spine takes 13 seconds to poll everything in our network, and Cacti with the PHP poller takes maybe 2 minutes to poll everything in our network. Because of Cacti's ability to handle this particular device (even with its PHP poller), I'm pretty convinced that the issue isn't the device. I've checked interface, memory, and CPU utilization on the Observium server as well as the device and the network in-between. Everything is fine. I've also turned Cacti off to ensure there was no strange clash. I also turned polling off for all ports that were in a "down" state and disabled those ports in the switch as well. It almost seems that Observium's poller walks one OID at a time in serial, or otherwise does some ridiculously complex discovery on every poll that it doesn't need to do. Cacti does bulk requests, so it gets around 50 OIDs per request to the switch stack. Is it possible that I'm missing something in the Observium configuration? Thanks! --Tyler

RRD, Graphs and Draw Errors
by Moermond, Timothy 24 Oct '13

24 Oct '13

Hi, I recently updated to the subscription model of observium and did a clean install, but did use my old config.php file. I have several pages where the graphs show draw errors. I have tried setting the permissions on the RRD to apache:apache as indicated in the instructions, which did not seem to change the behavior. I then switched it to root:root, which also does not seem to change the behavior. I reviewed the information on RRD and Graph issues from the mailing list archives, unfortunately the couple of items I found to try did not seem to change the issue either. I did remove the ?> tag and the remaining white space at the end of the config.php file. I have attached a screen shot of the current permissions for the RRD directory and a screen of from one of the pieces of equipment showing the draw error. Some graphs appear to draw but do not contain data such as the CPU graphs. I am not sure how to proceed to further isolate what may be wrong. I have verified the path to the RRD directory and Executable on the system and checked that they were good in the config.php file. Thank you, Tim

mini-/micrographs stacked / aggregated?
by Andreas Rüdel 24 Oct '13

24 Oct '13

Greetings Is there a way we can create "aggregated" (or "stacked") mini-/micrographs for the frontpage? using this syntax $config['frontpage']['minigraphs']['ids'] = "19418,port_bits,Dist76-01.AMS4;19496,port_bits,NAME"; or this: $config['frontpage']['micrographs']['RING']['ids'] = "19414,port_bits,NAME;19492,port_bits,NAME2;19439,port_bits,NAME3"; results in several graphs next to each other. what we are after is in "mini" or "micro" what we can do it using "custom" traffic graphs - but they are too big for what we are trying to do... $config['frontpage']['custom_traffic']['ids'] = "19418,19496"; <-- this actually stacks the data into one graph thanks for any pointers!

Hi, I try to configure observium with radius auth against a (working) win2k8 NPS Server; this failes with the follwing error message on the server: "A malformed RADIUS message was received from client %1. The data is the RADIUS message." http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc735403%28v=ws.10%29.aspx Any hints why radius auth doesn´t work in Observium? Chris

Storage alerting

Hi, I added some alerts for storage some time ago but they don't seem to work (yet?). This is how I created the checker: As you can see 130 checks are created but none of them is checked. Should I just have a bit more patience or does this need some debugging? :-) Cheers, Sander

Hi Mike, After your patch, it still isn't completely working. In the first screenshot (18:31) I manually triggered a discovery. The second minute I also manually triggered the poller. In fact 3 things are going wrong. - First the discovery fixes the IP addresses (ipv6) for the missing rows and second the poller removes the IPv6 addresses. - The second column for the IPv6 address still gives strange characters. - Last; the ip addresses (ipv4) are still wrongly formatted. I also included some debug logs again. Hopefully you can fix this.

Re: [Observium] poller-wrapper.py not working on FreeBSD9.1
by Borja Marcos 21 Oct '13

21 Oct '13

Hello, I 've been using Observium on FreeBSD 9.2 and now 10-BETA1 The most important difference between FreeBSD and some Linux distributions is where stuff is installed. The default installation of Observium uses /usr/bin as the path for many commands (snmp, Python, etc) and FreeBSD keeps a strict separation between the base system and the optional ports/packages. Nothing dramatic, but they belong under /usr/local/bin instead of /usr/bin, /usr/local/lib instead of /usr/lib... This is a list of the paths that should point to /usr/local. Note that Python and PHP are in /usr/local/bin, not /usr/bin (where the Observium files expect to find them). ./discovery.php:#!/usr/bin/env /usr/local/bin/php ./poll-billing.php:#!/usr/bin/env /usr/local/bin/php ./poller.php:#!/usr/bin/env /usr/local/bin/php ./includes/defaults.inc.php:$config['rrdtool'] = "/usr/local/bin/rrdtool"; ./includes/defaults.inc.php:$config['fping'] = "/usr/local/sbin/fping"; ./includes/defaults.inc.php:$config['fping6'] = "/usr/local/sbin/fping6"; ./includes/defaults.inc.php:$config['snmpwalk'] = "/usr/local/bin/snmpwalk"; ./includes/defaults.inc.php:$config['snmpget'] = "/usr/local/bin/snmpget"; ./includes/defaults.inc.php:$config['snmpbulkwalk'] = "/usr/local/bin/snmpbulkwalk"; ./includes/defaults.inc.php:$config['snmptranslate'] = "/usr/local/bin/snmptranslate"; ./includes/defaults.inc.php:$config['mtr'] = "/usr/local/sbin/mtr"; ./includes/defaults.inc.php:$config['nmap'] = "/usr/local/bin/nmap"; ./includes/defaults.inc.php:$config['dot'] = "/usr/local/bin/dot"; ./includes/defaults.inc.php:$config['unflatten'] = "/usr/local/bin/unflatten"; ./includes/defaults.inc.php:$config['neato'] = "/usr/local/bin/neato"; ./includes/defaults.inc.php:$config['sfdp'] = "/usr/local/bin/sfdp"; ./includes/defaults.inc.php:$config['svn'] = "/usr/local/bin/svn"; ./config.php:$config['nfsen_rrds'] = "/usr/local/nfsen/profiles-stat/live/"; ./poller-wrapper.py:#! /usr/bin/env /usr/local/bin/python I know I shouldn't have modified includes/defaults.inc.php, but I did it before I realized I should change it in config.php. Start by checking your paths, make sure that Observium can find Python, PHP, Net-SNMP, etc. Borja.

Hi All, For some reason, I couldn’t add localhost itself. I guess the problem is with SNMP. Please find the error messages and logs below. Would be great if anyone could help. [root@server observium]# ./add_device.php localhost Obs3rv1um v2c Trying v2c community Obs3rv1um ...

With regards to the question of "why FreeBSD?", that's personal preference. I'm more comfortable troubleshooting on FreeBSD than on Linux… Is there any way to make poller-wrapper.py produce more logging? (I admit not going through the code). Regards Rutger
