Smokeping Integration
by Tim Calvin 16 Mar '13

16 Mar '13

Trying to get some assistance on integrating Smokeping into Observium. Unable to get the ping tab to appear under my devices. I have read the documentation and seem to have everything in order. Not sure if it is just the way I have the devices named or something else. Smokeping's html files are located at: /var/www/smokeping/ I have edited Observium's config.php to include the following: $config['smokeping']['dir'] = "/var/www/smokeping/"; Observium is using identical hostnames to the ones from the Smokeping config snippet below. I can access the Smokeping webpage and can verify it is working properly. Am I missing something? + dlls-asr9k_tlsn_net host = dlls-asr9k.tlsn.net + sant-asr9k_tlsn_net host = sant-asr9k.tlsn.net + mdld-asr9k_tlsn_net host = mdld-asr9k.tlsn.net Thanks in advance. Tim

Verifying timeouts
by Bryan Socha 15 Mar '13

15 Mar '13

We've been using observium for well over a year now and extrememly happy with it. We have devices all over the world and recently started to see some strange reboot, high cpu loads and device up/down messages when the devices appear to be ok I recently noticed it seems to be the ones further away. I noticed the log really doesn't specify anything specific and my php skills are not up to snuff so I was wondering how would one go about verifying if we are seeing timeouts on the polling to know the best way to rectify the situation we are experiencing. Can someone verify is say the timeout of a cpu poll would actually how max cpu load? Thanks, Bryan

snmp custom oid graphing
by Tsvetan Blagoev 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

Hello ! First of all, thank you for the gr8 product and keep up the good work :) I am using observium in a small infrastructure (ESXi servers and linux appliances with snmp enabled) and I am facing two problems: -monitoring ESXi performance metrics - those are not exposed via snmp, so I have installed VMware CIM binaries to query the host machines. However, I am not aware how to pass data to observium afterwards and get a performance graph. -graphing data from a custom snmp OID ( snmp exec or extend) Thanks in advance!

Custom Logo with latest SVN

Long time listener, first time caller. I've been enjoying the SVN updates including the visual redesign. I was wondering if there is a new config option to set the logo on the new header bar. My config has the old one in place, but the redesigned bar is obviously smaller than the logo. Thanks for all the great work!

SysUptime issue
by Mike Richardson 09 Mar '13

09 Mar '13

Hiya, We've noticed that Observium is reporting that devices have rebooted even though they haven't. It's happening at the 496 day mark and so we're assuming that this is related to the 32bit SysUptime counter limitation. I noticed though that there is a section of code which says: // Use snmpEngineTime (68 year rollover) to cross-reference for false // positives in device rebooting due to sysUpTime rollover issues so I presume this ought not be happening. I can appreciate that this is a difficult one to test. Or rather, it's easy to test but has a *really* long debug cycle :-) We're currently running 0.13.2.3559. Here's the output from a device which observium recently reported as having rebooted: SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB::snmpEngineTime.0 = INTEGER: 43016530 DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (6689166) 18:34:51.66 If you want any more information just ask. Given the number of devices we have with uptimes around 496 days we can probably do a test every few days.

Poller debugging
by Jason Lixfeld 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

Hi, I've checked around for some docs on this subject but I'm coming up empty. Not sure if I'm looking in the wrong spot or if they just don't exist. I'm noticing the odd gap in all graphs for a particular device, and only that device. The two gaps in the last 24 hours seem to have lasted about 15 and 30 minutes, respectively. This is the first time I've seen these gaps on this device, but I did upgrade the code on this box last week. I'm convinced it's a software issue on the router I'm polling, but I need some ammo for the vendor. To that end, I'd like to enable some debugging that will show what the poller is reporting (or not reporting) when it hits this device. My hope is to catch something useful in the debugs that I can bring to the vendor. Any hits appreciated. Thanks!

Platform change on existing device
by Florian Hibler 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

Hi everyone, we just replaced one of our core routers and therefore changed platform from Cisco to Juniper. Whilst the interfaces got discovered correctly, Observium does not detect the change of the device/platform itself. Also the full discovery, which runs every few hours did not notice. Is there a way to rediscover a device without deleting it or will there be any feature like "platform change detected" during the full discover in future? Thanks and best regards, Florian -- Florian Hibler Chief Technical Officer eMail: florian.hibler(a)kaiaglobal.com Kaia Global Networks Limited Internet: http://www.kaiaglobal.com Company No. 08257877 Registered Office: High Wycombe, UK Notice: This transmittal and/or attachments may be privileged or confidential.

It depends how big your installation is :-) Like all things, you need to scale your own installation. We now do more caching instead of repeated lookups, requiring more ram on large installs. Adam.

Juniper BGP Prefix Graphing Issue
by Joe Wooller 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

Hey Guys, I have just started using Observium, so far I think it's great! (Good work) I have however stumbled across an issue with BGP Prefixes on my Juniper J2320. When I do a debug on discovery.php and poller.php (after adding the host) it appears that it is extracting the correct information for jnxBgpM2PrefixInPrefixesAccepted and jnxBgpM2PrefixInPrefixesRejected for both IPv4 and IPv6, however it only seems to graph the prefixes from only 1 of my peers (they have 2 ipv4 and 1 ipv6 session with me) so I am seeing graphs for these 3, but not any others. In the debug information I am also only seeing an update for the graphs that are working. (Obviously) SQL[UPDATE `bgpPeers_cbgp` set `AcceptedPrefixes` ='58',`DeniedPrefixes` ='0',`PrefixAdminLimit` ='',`PrefixThreshold` ='',`PrefixClearThreshold` ='',`AdvertisedPrefixes` ='3103',`SuppressedPrefixes` ='',`WithdrawnPrefixes` ='' WHERE `device_id` = '7' AND bgpPeerIdentifier = 'x.x.x.x' AND afi = 'ipv4' AND safi = 'unicast'] RRD[/usr/bin/rrdtool create /opt/observium/rrd/rs1/cbgp-x.x.x.x.ipv4.unicast.rrd DS:AcceptedPrefixes:GAUGE:600:U:100000000000 \ DS:DeniedPrefixes:GAUGE:600:U:100000000000 \ DS:AdvertisedPrefixes:GAUGE:600:U:100000000000 \ DS:SuppressedPrefixes:GAUGE:600:U:100000000000 \ DS:WithdrawnPrefixes:GAUGE:600:U:100000000000 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:2016 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:6:1440 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:1440 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:1440 RRA:MIN:0.5:1:720 RRA:MIN:0.5:6:1440 RRA:MIN:0.5:24:775 RRA:MIN:0.5:288:797 RRA:MAX:0.5:1:720 RRA:MAX:0.5:6:1440 RRA:MAX:0.5:24:775 RRA:MAX:0.5:288:797 RRA:LAST:0.5:1:1440 ] OK u:0.00 s:0.01 r:14.58 RRD[update /opt/observium/rrd/rs1/cbgp-x.x.x.x.ipv4.unicast.rrd N:58:0:3103::] I see this for all 3 sessions the peer has, but for none of the others.
