Radius Auth on Win2k8 NPS - malformed message
by Christian Hügel 23 Oct '13

23 Oct '13

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
by Sander Steffann 22 Oct '13

22 Oct '13

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.

With regards to the question of "why FreeBSD?", that's personal preference.

I have the following line in my /etc/crontab on FreeBSD9.1: */5 * * * * root /opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py 1 >> /dev/null 2>&1 I can manually run the poller (as root) but all monitored interfaces go to '0'. Somehow it seems that the poller-wrapper is not able to insert the data into the RRDs. root@server:/opt/observium # ./poller-wrapper.py 8 INFO: starting the poller at 1382106842.7 with 8 threads, slowest devices first INFO starting alerter.php for 2 INFO finished alerter.php for 2 INFO: worker Thread-7 finished device 2 in 7 seconds INFO starting alerter.php for 8 INFO finished alerter.php for 8 INFO: worker Thread-6 finished device 8 in 9 seconds INFO starting alerter.php for 7 INFO finished alerter.php for 7 INFO: worker Thread-2 finished device 7 in 10 seconds INFO starting alerter.php for 6 INFO finished alerter.php for 6 INFO: worker Thread-5 finished device 6 in 11 seconds INFO starting alerter.php for 1 INFO finished alerter.php for 1 INFO: worker Thread-4 finished device 1 in 12 seconds INFO starting alerter.php for 4 INFO finished alerter.php for 4 INFO: worker Thread-3 finished device 4 in 14 seconds INFO starting alerter.php for 5 INFO finished alerter.php for 5 INFO: worker Thread-1 finished device 5 in 16 seconds INFO: poller-wrapper polled 7 devices in 16 seconds with 8 workers Also, the regular poller does not work when moved to /etc/crontab, stragely enough it runs just fine from the crontab for user root (edited using 'crontab -e'). Any clues? Any way to verify where it is not working? Regards Rutger

Re: [Observium] Empty ADSL and SLA rrd

Hi All, has anyone ran into the below? is it something that I've configured incorrectly? From: David George Sent: Tuesday, 15 October 2013 8:51 AM To: 'observium(a)observium.org' Subject: Empty ADSL and SLA rrd Morning all, I've just started trailing observium, and it's looking like a great system. Router health and interface counters seems to be logged and graphed correctly, so it's starting to look like a viable alternative to some of the larger closed source systems. I especially like the simplicity of the design which should allow for some additional sensor development down the that I'll submit back. So kudos on the system, I quite like it. Now - onto the issue, and I'm assuming given the size of the user-base this is likely to be configuration, but I've read and re-read the related doco and I'm unable to find anything wrong. I've added a Cisco 877 device, port counters and health are being logged and graphed correctly, but the ip-sla statistics and adsl line statistics are not. The header line includes dsl stats, and those stats appear to update according to the polling schedule, but the graphs do not. Also, the file timestamp is NOT updating on the adsl RRD file. it is however updating on the sla rrd file. rrdtool dump reveals that the rrd file contains no rows that have a value. config file contains $config['enable_ports_adsl'] = 1; # Enable ADSL-LINE-MIB $config['enable_sla'] = 1; Observium CE 0.13.10.4585 Apache 2.2.22 (Ubuntu) PHP 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.8 MySQL 5.5.29-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 RRDtool 1.4.7 [cid:image001.png@01CECE80.E0CDC300] [cid:image002.png@01CECE80.E0CDC300]

I re-read the docs a zillion times but obviously I must overlook something truly basic. What bothers me is that poller-wrapper.py doesn't work from the command line either, which means I must have something wrong in my install somewhere… Anybody using Observium on FreeBSD willing to share their cron setup? Thanks in advance, Rutger

Making use of hdarray
by Henri Watson 20 Oct '13

20 Oct '13

Hi all, I've been trying to make use of hdarray (added in http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBSERVIUM-233) but it seems like there's a bit of an issue with the patch: it doesn't contain the actual observium-agent module. The patch seems to have been merged into SVN's devel branch (http://www.observium.org/svn/observer/branches/devel/includes/polling/unix-…, for example) but there's no hdarray module in SVN's devel branch either (see http://www.observium.org/svn/observer/branches/devel/scripts/agent-local/) which should rule out the possibility of it being added in right after. Am I looking in the wrong place or is the hdarray module simply missing? Cheers, Henri Watson

You added it to the wrong crontab file because you didn't follow the instructions, despite the giant red box I recently added to make it super clear which file to add it to. Adam.

You have almost certainly added them to the wrong cron file in the wrong format. Follow the instructions. Adam.
