Unknown OS - Cisco ACS-Server
by Chris 11 Sep '13

11 Sep '13

Hello, I've got some CISCO-ACS-servers here. These appliances are linux-based systems and running a IOS-like application - with no access to the underlying OS. Anyway the SNMP agent behaves like running on a linux-server. Observium shows these Systems as "Unknown". is it possible to make the system known? currenty observium shows all "normal" linux-like graphs. (CPU/users/storage/and so on) here some snmp-vars for system detection: SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: Cisco Secure Access Control System 5.4 SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.47.1.1.1.1.13.1 DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (66748343) 7 days, 17:24:43.43 SNMPv2-MIB::sysContact.0 = STRING: user SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: acs-server SNMPv2-MIB::sysLocation.0 = STRING: serverroom SNMPv2-MIB::sysServices.0 = INTEGER: 12 SNMPv2-MIB::sysORLastChange.0 = Timeticks: (3) 0:00:00.03 SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.1 = OID: SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB::snmpFrameworkMIBCompliance SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.2 = OID: SNMP-MPD-MIB::snmpMPDCompliance SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.3 = OID: SNMP-USER-BASED-SM-MIB::usmMIBCompliance SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.4 = OID: SNMPv2-MIB::snmpMIB SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.5 = OID: TCP-MIB::tcpMIB SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.6 = OID: IP-MIB::ip SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.7 = OID: UDP-MIB::udpMIB SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.8 = OID: SNMP-VIEW-BASED-ACM-MIB::vacmBasicGroup SNMPv2-MIB::sysORDescr.1 = STRING: The SNMP Management Architecture MIB.

Polling missed?
by Luis Quintana 11 Sep '13

11 Sep '13

Out of curiosity, where would I begin looking for any issues with missed polls or graphs not showing data for a certain period of time? I have looked under /var/log and do not see anything that stands out. I'm not sure if there are any other locations i can investigate this on. I am running ubuntu server 12.04.3 LTS. Attached are a couple of graphs you can see the gap of data not presented, or possibly missing? The weird part is, i have about 90% of my devices that show this gap, but the other 10% doesnt. Theres no specific network device/factor that would be have created this either. Any thoughts/suggestions/ideas?

Windows server issue with disk space
by DaZZa 10 Sep '13

10 Sep '13

Hi. I found Observium after reading a post on Reddit (if you're out there, whoever made the post, you have my eternal thanks!), and I've got it setup and running pretty much OK, but I've run into an issue with one specific Windows host. Observium accesses and sets it up OK except for one disk volume - the drive is approximately 15 Tb in size, but Observium is only reporting it as being 8Tb, and I can't figure out why. Can anyone suggest what I may have configured incorrectly? I initially used SNMP V1 to discover/configure this host - could that be the issue, perhaps? Thanks for any input, and a huge thanks to the guys (and gals?) who write this stuff, so that those of us who can't code our way out of a wet paper bag can still satisify the demands of manglement!

"No devices found" shown on Devices pages
by Stuart Shelton 09 Sep '13

09 Sep '13

Many of the pages beneath the "Devices" menu incorrectly display "No devices found". For example, choosing "All Devices" lists two devices, but clicking any of the controls in the '<div class="well">' segment - even the "Detail" button which is active by default - no longer shows the two devices but again reverts to "No devices found". Further down the "Devices" menu, "Servers (2)" is shown, but choosing this also displays "No devices found". Other menus, such as "Ports", appear to display all of their data correctly. This occurs with both SVN-3763 and the latest SVN-4451. When I spoke to another Observium user, they had the same issue, but no solution. Has anyone else seen this problem, or can anyone suggest anything I might do to resolve the issue? Many thanks, Stuart

Automated CSV/XCL/etc Traffic Billing Report?
by Luis Quintana 07 Sep '13

07 Sep '13

I was looking at the Traffic Billing piece and was curious to know if there is a way to setup an automated monthly report for each individual "customer" that is listed under that area? I dont seem to find anything at the moment. Would be cool to automate that and shoot out the raw data, in addition to the graphs for each individual "customer" on a monthly basis to whatever email address(s) specified. Would that ever be a feature or does anyone know how it could be accomplished?

Traffic Bill
by Maximilian Jacobsen 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

Hi, thanks for the development of observium! I want to use Observium to calculate the traffic of my clients. Now I have the following problem: Under "used" always "0B" is displayed. The same goes for "Over Usage" where only "-" is displayed. In the bar where the traffic usage should be displayed in percent is nothing. In the observium main directory I have found the file poll- billing.php I run it, but unfortunately nothing has happened here. I would be very grateful for a little assistance. For your information: Observium 0.13.9.4451 -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Maximilian Jacobsen

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.
