LDAP authentication changes
by Tom Laermans 04 Jun '13

04 Jun '13

Hi everyone, I've made some modifications to the LDAP auth module; if you SVN up to r4114 or higher, please check if your LDAP auth is still working if you are using it. As far as I know (and on my test system), all defaults are sensible and should work just as before without changing anything, however some new features appeared, specifically to support active directory. An example config for AD is on the wiki. Nested groups don't work yet, I will hopefully get around to that soon. Thanks, Tom

ASR9k users?
by Robert Williams 03 Jun '13

03 Jun '13

Hi, Just curious if anyone is currently using Observium to monitor any Cisco ASR9k based devices? I can see that it has correctly identified all the various hardware modules, line cards and temperature sensors etc. but isn’t graphing things like temperatures or light levels like it does for our Cat6K workforce. Since this is the first ASR device I’ve tried polling on Observium I’m not sure if it’s just not fully supported or if we have some SNMP restrictions on the Cisco which are preventing it from getting what it needs. Any feedback or other experiences are welcome! Cheers all, Robert Williams Custodian Data Centre Email: Robert(a)CustodianDC.com http://www.CustodianDC.com

Memcached updates
by Britt Treece 03 Jun '13

03 Jun '13

Starting to use Memcached and found some of the current Memcached bits in Observium not working optimally. I wrote a new unix-agent script using python rather than PHP. The previous script relied on PECL memcached but didn't do anything for installations using PECL memcache. After a bunch of trial and error I determined that it was easiest to write the script in Python which requires the python-memcached library and is readily available on different OS types and versions. I also modified the applications/memcached.inc.php and polling/unix-agent.inc.php to accommodate the new script. They will also accurately separate different instances of memcached running on the same server as reported by the script. I'm still trying to work out a couple things. The main thing is when you enable Memcached as an application for a device Observium automatically creates an entry in the database but the instance is NULL. When the unix-agent reports on the Memcached instance(s) running on the server new entries get created in the database for each instance and the app with the NULL app_instance never gets used. I've been manually removing it from the database. If possible I would like to work it out so that it doesn't get created automatically. If that's not possible I was going to look into updating that entry with the first real instance reported by the agent. Also wanting to get the Apps tab for the Device to better identify each instance and maybe work on some additional metrics reporting for Memcached specific stats. Patch attached, let me know if it is acceptable or not... Britt Treece

Observium is designed for use in a service provider environment with a main design assumption being that one does not necessarily know what one wants to monitor until the data is needed.

Help with ldap group access/permissions
by Tracy Phillips 30 May '13

30 May '13

Hi, I have configured Observium to authenticate against ldap and it works great. This is my configuration for authentication: $config['auth_mechanism'] = "ldap"; $config['auth_ldap_version'] = 3; $config['auth_ldap_server'] = "ldap.example.net"; $config['auth_ldap_port'] = 389; $config['auth_ldap_starttls'] = FALSE; $config['auth_ldap_prefix'] = "uid="; $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",ou=People,dc=example,dc=net"; $config['auth_ldap_group'] = "cn=observium,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=net"; Everything works as expected until I get to this point. When I go to add a new device or view the global configuration, I get the message: ERROR You have insufficient permissions to view this page. I have confirmed that I am in the observium-admin group. This is what I have for group permissions: $config['auth_ldap_groupbase'] = "ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=net"; $config['auth_ldap_groups']['observium-admin']['level'] = 10; There is nothing relevant in the observium.log. Is there something that I am missing or does anyone have thought that might help me resolve this issue? Thanks in advance for any hints you can throw my way! Tracy

I want to say THANK YOU
by Zach Underwood 30 May '13

30 May '13

I work for a small ISP. For the past few weeks things have been running slow on the network. After working on and off of the problem for some time will no fix, I had to take a break from the problem. So I setup a VM running centos, I installed your software (the rhel howto has some mistakes). I then added the core switches and routers, 9 devices later I had the core mapped. After the software was running for 10 mins I started to see a problem. The core router that links up two ISP with BGP was having interface errors. Comes to find out the interfaces was running at half duplex. After fixing the duplex error the network came back to life. I would like to say thank for the software and I am a kickstarter supporter. -- Zach Underwood (RHCE,RHCSA,RHCT) My website <http://zachunderwood.me> My photes <http://zunder1990.openphoto.me>

SNMP Printer polling
by Matthew Coene 30 May '13

30 May '13

Good morning everyone... Ok.. I have my Canon printers working polling when using jetdirect as the OS type in separate include files in /observium/includes/discovery/os/, I was hoping to make them their own icon, and subset in the definitions.inc.php but seeing as how jetdirect is already declared as its own (I assume string?) (forgive me I am not a programmer)... Can I still make a separate definitions entry code block and split the 'jetdirect' code to a separate entity so I can leave the HP printers stuff alone and do the Canon separately?? Cheers, M.

Hardware scaling
by Adam Armstrong 29 May '13

29 May '13

Hi All, I put together a very basic set of scaling guidelines : http://www.observium.org/wiki/Hardware_Scaling My sample size is quite limited, do any of you have useful numbers from large (>10k ports) installations? How much RAM does your /ports/ page take? (mouse over the perf on the bottom bar). How much average CPU load does your system have, and what CPU is it? (assuming the host is Observium-only) What storage back-end do you use, and how well is it scaling? Thanks, adam.

Little more help with SNMP/MIB for Canon.
by Matthew Coene 29 May '13

29 May '13

Good Afternoon All, Tom, Looks like you were right... Tried snmpwalking our Canon devices with the HP-LASERJET-COMMON MIB... Looking at the rest of the code, specifically the "jetdirect" bits that you mentioned... <?php if (!$os) { if (strstr($sysDescr, "JETDIRECT")) { $os = "jetdirect"; } else if (strstr($sysDescr, "HP ETHERNET MULTI-ENVIRONMENT")) { $os = "jetdirect"; } else if (strstr($sysObjectId, ".1.3.6.1.4.1.11.1")) { $os = "jetdirect"; } } I can say that the OID string that seems to be the most common to the ID is... (actually there are a few) iso.3.6.1.2.1.43.9.2.1.8.1.1 = STRING: "Canon" I am hoping there might be some way to just adapt the existing framework, to use the the new OID / MIB to report the Canon's specifically instead of generic? Am I even remotely on some sort of right track or way off on some far removed dead end tangent?? Cheers, Matt.
