Afternoon All, I'm going to be in Amsterdam for 2 weeks working with Atrato and Ebay Classifieds on Observium improvements. We're going to try to arrange a drinks event somewhere in Amsterdam, probably next weekend, if the dutchies here are interested in coming! Location and date/time is still to be confirmed. Thanks, adam.

JunOS Inventory
by Peter Childs 03 Jul '13

03 Jul '13

Here is a hack to get JunOS (potentially others?) to work via leveraging the pseudo Entity-MIB construct from SNMP::Info Bit nasty as you may need to ensure the MIBs required by SNMP::Info are available someone in your mibdirs I'm not overly impressed with the output of this, and at some stage will probably see if it can be improved. Perl into your install_dir/scripts etc… YMMV Cheers, Peter

The geolocation is performed by a third party, we have no way of influencing it. You could try switching to Google's geolocation. You can restrict the geochart to a single region, there is documentation on the wiki for that. Adam. "Michael F.

USA States not dected.
by Michael F. Kisser 27 Jun '13

27 Jun '13

Hello All, Just a note a have a site in Trenton, MI not Trenton, NJ its listing them in NJ area on the Map. All my nodes have City,State IE Trenton, MI just something you might want to look at. Also it would be cool to have the ability to limit the map to a "area" like for me just the USA. I just use solarwinds for Alerting and everything else is Observium but it would be nice to have the map not show all the countries. Keep up the great work the new layout looks GREAT! Mike

IP SLA
by Fältman, Mikael 27 Jun '13

27 Jun '13

Hi. IP SLA is not showing any data in the graphs. I have found information of this problem before in the list but no solutions only others having similar problems. Everything looks ok from debug output, snmpwalk is getting ip sla data, rrds is being updated, SLA tab is there, graph with are showing up but with no data ! When doing a "rrdtool dump sla-1.rrd" I find data with future timestamps ?!  <row><v>1.3000000000e+01</v></row>  <row><v>6.0586666667e+01</v></row>  <row><v>6.1000000000e+01</v></row> No other rrd archive is showing future timestamps with data. My rrd knowledge is not very good but I suspect that there might be a connection with graphs not showing data ? My Observium installation work as expected except for IP SLA. Doing daily svn updates. Thankful for anybody that can help solving this. Mikael Fäldtman

Geographically distributed pollers with poller-wrapper.py
by Michael Hsu 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

The problem is that the pollers write to rrd's local to the poller box and observium isn't written in a way where these can be easily distributed. I wrote the patch that added that comment as that was my goal. I tested using parallel rsync methods as well as using glusterfs replicated filesystem across multiple datacenters but couldn't get my polling runs + syncing to complete within 5 minute runs (quickest I could get were 8 minute runs writing to about 16,000+ rrds). I have a large number of ports however so smaller installations could probably work. I wonder what the plans are for being able to distribute observium across multiple hosts, geographically or not. Or if anyone else has attempted this. What would be great would be the option to use something like graphite for the graphing backend so pollers could just send data to graphite and observium could use graphite to create the graphs for the web interface. >On 2013-06-24 14:46, Benjamin Abadie wrote: >> Hi, >> I'm reading the following as a comment in poller-wrapper.py : >> >> Additionally, if a hostname wildcard is passed, add it to the where >> clause.

Problem with geolocation
by Joniel Gagné-Laurin 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

Hi everyone, Been using for some time Observium as a potential replacement for our reporting system and we are now ready to put in production our server but I'm stuck at the moment. I know some people had this issue in the past and some fix were put in place but it doesn't work for me. On a newly installed server, when I try to add a host by addhost.php, the mysql insert query is not going through because the location_geoapi is empty. The easiest way of dealing would be to just allow null value or put a default value, but I would like to have a clean solution as we will use it for production. I don't know if there is something missing in my setup or what, but something I'm sure, the request to get the geo location doesn't go out as I don't see anything on my proxy. So, can someone can help me here? I can provide some debugging if you need more information. Fantastic product by the way, loving it.

Do you have some advice on how I could implement this (that is, multiple pollers on multiple servers) ? Even if it is not shiny enough to be put in production, that's just for testing purposes.

Adding new OS and types of devices
by Jon Auer 24 Jun '13

24 Jun '13

1) I have some devices that aren't known to Observium that I'd like to track. I've followed the instructions at http://observium.org/wiki/Developing/NewOS and made a new OS type for Ubiquiti EdgeOS routers. Diff here: http://www.tapodi.net/~jda/dev/edgeos.diff <http://www.tapodi.net/%7Ejda/dev/edgeos.diff> Did I do that correctly, and if so, how do I contribute it back into Observium? 2) Is there a preferred way to handle point to multipoint aggregation devices such as DSLAMs, GPON OLTs, and Wireless APs where you have client signal levels, modulation, etc? In particular I'd like to add support for Ubiquiti and Canopy APs where one would track multiple metrics for each associated client in addition to metrics from the device itself. E.g. Stats for the downlink can be gathered from the AP, but uplink has to be gathered from the client radios. Clients are only loosely associated with APs (they are discovered through a AP, can migrate to other APs, and don't have a static IP address). Client devices like this break the hostname-required rule but perhaps it isn't mandatory if they are discovered via the AP? <http://observium.org/wiki/Developing/NewOS>
