Problems after sync to 4532
by Andrew Hunstiger 26 Sep '13

26 Sep '13

Sorry if this is the wrong channel to send this to. Not sure what happened, but after syncing to the latest version the web portal seems to be broken. Checking the logs the poller is still working, I just can't access the web page any more. Checking the error logs the only two events that keep popping up when I try to load the page are: [Wed Sep 25 09:29:53 2013] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_SL in /opt/observium/html/index.php on line 212 [Wed Sep 25 09:52:04 2013] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_SL in /opt/observium/html/index.php on line 215 Line 212 points to the start of what I pasted in below. The only part that stood out to me (I honestly have no idea what I am doing, just trying to troubleshoot) is what I highlighted below: { // Warn about lack of mcrypt unless told not to. <<<<<<< .mine <<<<<<< .mine <<<<<<< .mine if($config['login_remember_me'] = FALSE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) ======= if($config['login_remember_me'] == TRUE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) ======= if($config['login_remember_me'] = TRUE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) ======= if($config['login_remember_me'] == TRUE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) >>>>>>> .r4532 >>>>>>> .r4471 >>>>>>> .r4532 { print_error('Observium now requires mcrypt to be installed for use by the "remember me" function.

Print a page. if (isset($vars['page']) && !strstr("..", $vars['page']) && is_file("pages/" . $vars['page'] . ".inc.php")) { include("pages/" . $vars['page'] . ".inc.php"); } else { if (isset($config['front_page']) && is_file($config['front_page'])) { include($config['front_page']); } else { include("pages/front/default.php"); } } } } Once I commented those lines out, the page was able to load without any problems. // <<<<<<< .mine // <<<<<<< .mine // <<<<<<< .mine if($config['login_remember_me'] = FALSE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) // ======= if($config['login_remember_me'] == TRUE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) // ======= if($config['login_remember_me'] = TRUE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) // ======= if($config['login_remember_me'] == TRUE && (!function_exists('mcrypt_decrypt') || !function_exists('mcrypt_encrypt'))) // >>>>>>> .r4532 // >>>>>>> .r4471 // >>>>>>> .r4532 Also, once I did the sync, there was an error (wish I wrote it down first) when running the "./discovery.php -h none" command.

Re: [Observium] notify

on that note, when considering thresholds in the alert system, one desirable feature may be to trigger on 'zero' as well as some upper bound. i.e., my demarc might be just fine, but if somebody stops sending me traffic on a provisioned link, release the hounds!

SQL query instead of port detail
by Wolfgang Eitel 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

hi. I just installed another instance ob observium. While my first one is working like a charm (installed 6 weeks ago) this one has a strange behaviour. For example: When I click on a device and then click on the showed graph I do net get the port details with more detailed RRD graph (where you can changes the range with time and date). Instead only a SQL query is showed :( Any ideas what causes the issue? best, Wolfgang

Polling Intervals
by Robbie Wright 24 Sep '13

24 Sep '13

So we're relatively new to Observium and hacking out way through getting it integrated and tested in our environment. One common thing (that we can't find in the faq's or documentation) other tools use is the ability to change polling intervals. On our edge firewall, we might want one minute queries while on SAN volumes we might want 30 minute disk checks. Is there any way to adjust that per device/device type/globally?

Disable auto adding ports on Mikrotik PPPoE Server
by Petar Janev 24 Sep '13

24 Sep '13

Hi I have two Mikrotik PPPoE Servers added to Observium and it constantly adding new ports as users get connected with PPPoE ports, and then deleted as user disconnects. After some time a lot of ports appear in Deleted Port, that I need to manually delete them, and also disk space grows as new rrd's gets created. I tried adding "bad_if" in config file but without success, because this interfaces don't have description. Also is there any way to permanently delete this previously added port from database and rrd folder. Thanks, Petar Janev

macsuck CAM tables?
by Joel Krauska 24 Sep '13

24 Sep '13

I would love to see a Mac Address forwarding table grab in observium for L2 devices. Maybe it's already there, but I couldn't find it. In NetDisco, this feature is implemented using the 'macsuck' tool. *http://www.netdisco.org/readme.html#glossary* I've implemented it before in sloppy perl using the Bridge mib. * http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk648/tk362/technologies_tech_note09186a008… * The gist for collection is: - determine the list of active vlans - for each vlan get a list of mac addresses per 'bridge port' - lookup a translation of bridgeport to ifindex If you correlate this data with a global ARP table and DNS, you get a killer feature. "Lookup the switch port where a given host was last seen. (and hopefully where it still is)" Because this can be a pretty dynamic dataset, you'll also probably want to maintain the list by putting a last seen datestamp and rolling out old entries. I think I've found a few hints at some development interest in the past about this sort of feature. Has it gotten any traction? Cheers, Joel

Hey, I've just noticed, we have no longer have chasis temperature senors on any Cisco 3560 switches, while it still shows temperature from SFP modules. Debug discovery snmpwalk shows sensor name only, no entSensorValue. Was it polled other way before? Evenlog says its gone like months ago, on march of this year :)

graphs: broken images

Hi, Firstly, the process to add graphs is a nice and simple one, so thanks for that. I'm trying to add graphs with different configurations and variable names, and I think I've gotten somewhere, however I'm getting a broken graphs image. I've checked for extra whitespace and have not found any. Neither do I end the files with "?>"; Any idea what the problem might be? Thanks, Mike Y.

Cisco IOS vlans counters
by Terry Sweetser 13 Sep '13

13 Sep '13

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/lanswitch/command/reference/lsw_s2.html… Hello Observium Community, Before I add a feature request to JIRA and/or start work on an idea I have: I'd like to discuss it here briefly. I have a cisco router terminating a QinQ trunk on a GigabitEth port, the 2 tags are actually 802.1AD "translated" to cisco `ISL', and I would like to track the bit/s t/p on each (outer) S-TAG. There's no interface that corresponds to the S-TAG only; you get the entire trunk or several thousand sub-interfaces which correspond to the C-tags. The router has no trouble at all keeping a counter on the S-TAG level vlans: ROUTER#show vlans dot1q Total statistics for 802.1Q VLAN 1179: 1043211296 packets, 392860154434 bytes input 1318271657 packets, 1413383465338 bytes output Total statistics for 802.1Q VLAN 1180: 12901924856 packets, 5689677372911 bytes input 16833259171 packets, 17373955952108 bytes output So, the 1st task would be to find the MIB, if any for these "outer" tags, and attempt to write code for an add-on to discover and graph them. Any one "been there, done that" as yet? -- http://about.me/terry.sweetser
