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!

Hi All, I've added a Dlink DES and a HP Procurve switch in my observium. Observium can lean about my used and unused port, but the graphs doesn't plot. Anything to be done to plot? Thank you.

Custom Logo with latest SVN
by Andrew Lynch 10 Mar '13

10 Mar '13

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! I use Observium at home for all my servers. -Andy -- Andrew Lynch (KD0IOE) lurch89(a)gmail.com http://andrewrlynch.com "Scientists study the world as it is; engineers create the world that has never been." —Theodore von Kármán

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.

Traffic bills
by Mattias Gyllenvarg 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

Hi Adam About the traffic Bills. After a month is billing period is completed will the data be preserved even if interfaces are added/removed from the billing? The reason I ask is that it is a hassle too keep track of aggregated usage of things like Peering/Infrastructure/Transit as you constantly upgrade and move things around. So, perhaps a snapshot could be taken at certain points too keep this data? Pipedream? -- *Med Vänliga Hälsningar - Best Regards* *Mattias Gyllenvarg* *Nätutveckling* Bredband2 Tel: +46 406219712

Aruba feature request
by Mike Richardson 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

What would be handy for us is to have graphs of not just the number of clients on our Aruba M3 controllers, but the number of .1x clients and the number of captive portal clients. This could either be separate graphs or combined with the 'number of clients' graphs. Don't mind really. The OID for .1x clients is .1.3.6.1.4.1.14823.2.2.1.4.1.4.1.0 and for CP clients is .1.3.6.1.4.1.14823.2.2.1.4.1.4.3.0 Thanks, Mike -- Mike Richardson Networks (network(a)manchester.ac.uk) IT Services, University of Manchester *Plain text only please - attachments stripped on arrival*

Discovery of large stack causes hardware to become unresponsive
by Patrick Zaloum 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

Hello I are testing Observium in a new environment after previous success stories elsewhere. We have noted that when we run device discovery on a stack of 5 Cat3750 (12.2-50-SE1) the "device" becomes unresponsive to any other queries / pings / ssh for approximately 5-6 minutes (during the discovery cycle). Once the discovery is complete, the poller, pings, and other operations return to normal. Note that traffic flow does not appear to be affected across the switch. Total ports on the stack are 278 (no argument that it is a large number of ports to poll from a single device). Regular polling of the device does not appear to have any consequences, it is specific to the discovery module. Does anyone have any insight into this? Thanks Patrick
