is_file() usage for rrd file existance
by Peter Childs 05 Sep '13

05 Sep '13

Gday folks. I'm fiddling around with remote RRD storage via rrdcached. Most of the rrdtool stuff is wrapped in includes/rrdtool.inc.php which is wonderful from this perspective. Not within this include is the usage of is_file() to determine the existence of an rrd file. In discovery the pattern is something like If( ! is_file( some.rrd ) ) { rrdtool_create ( … )} In graphing the pattern is something like If ( is_file( some.rrd ) { graph some stuff… } Would there be any support for moving this usage into a rrdtool_file_exists( ) thin wrapper for is_file ? This would make it much easier to extended includes/rrdtool.inc.php to support storage of RRD's on remote storage (and potentially distribute over multiple remote storage devices ..) Thoughts? I had a quick check for usage of scandir/readdir to determine all the rrd's in a 'device' directory, but this doesn't seem to be a common pattern. My other evil thought is to use rename_function/override_function to work around this, but it seems very very WRONG. Cheers, Peter

observium Syslog not recieving syslog msgs

Hi, I have been unable to get the syslog function to work and I can't find any info online that is helping I am just getting the follwoing msg on the webpage No syslog entries found! This device does not have any syslog entries. Check that the syslog daemon and Observium configuration options are set correctly, that this device is configured to send syslog to Observium and that there are no firewalls blocking the messages. See documentation<http://www.observium.org/wiki/Category:Documentation> and configuration options<http://www.observium.org/wiki/Configuration_Options#Syslog_Settings> for more information. it may be something simple that I have missed (have followed the documentation on the website ) see far below for my syslog-ng.conf, syslog.php and config.php So far I have tested and my server is receiving syslog msg form my cisco devices I tested this by changing the destination d_observium to output to a file rather than "program("/opt/observium/syslog.php" template ("$HOST||$FACILITY||$PRIORITY||$LEVEL||$TAG||$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY $HOUR:$MIN:$SEC||$MSG||$PROGRAM\n") template-escape(yes)); which worked beautifully any help would be appreciated. ---------------------config.php------------------- <?php ## Have a look in includes/defaults.inc.php for examples of settings you can set here.

How about with the legends, to select what is shown in the legend, so that they aren't 3x's as large as the graph itself? Regards, Ryan Milton Network Manager o: 201-447-1505 x124 c: 862-249-5230

Kernel version looping events
by Robert Williams 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

Hi, Since the auto SVN / discover at 06:00 (BST) today, several of our servers are logging repeated events as follows: 2013-08-29 09:10:25 System kernel -> 2.6.32-71.18.1.el6-0.20.smp.gcc4.1.x86_64 It appears to be occurring on every 5 minute poll: [cid:image001.png@01CEA499.4E1120E0] This is only affecting machines which run pre-configured (static, non-updating) software such as OpenFiler which is the target in the example above. Also at the first poll after 06:00 today, most of the other linux boxes logged events similar to the above, but, they logged it just once and then stopped. I’ve got no idea why / how this would be logged continuously, especially as the result is identical each poll, so any pointers welcome :) Cheers!

Average Packet Size on Cisco-Devices
by Chris 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

Hi There, I like seeing the Average Packet Size on Ports since 4361. But unfortunately I don't have data in graphs for all devices. It's working on: - 6500 VSS (Ten/Gig/Vlan/Po) (IOS 15.0) - ASA 55xx - Servers (Linux) - Riverbeds (Linux) - Cisco-WLAN-Controllers It's NOT working (empty graph) on: - 4500 (Ten/Gig/Po) - ASR1001 (Gig/Tu) (IOS 15.3S) - 7301 (Gig/Tu) (IOS 15.1M) - 28xx (Gig/Tu) (IOS 15.0M) - 18xx (Fa/Tu) (IOS 12.4T) Especially on our VPN-Rouers (73/28/ASR) this would be helpful. How can I debug some more things to get it working? Or how can I support you with information that you get it to work? Many thanks in advance, Chris
