95 percentil Traffic Bill
by edouard alias 04 Jun '12

04 Jun '12

Hello, I might misundertood something but are traffic bills working, On an interface with a 100 Mbps 95 %ile, If I check the month view I see Monday this morning a 90 M rate peak On the 24 h view I see my 300 M peak on Monday morning. Is it right ? is due to having an average value from a more far sight on the month graph ? cf screen shot (sorry for my poor English)

Cannot login after upgrade
by Charles Nadeau 01 Jun '12

01 Jun '12

Hello, On April 19th, I installed the last version of Observium from the Ubuntu instructions there http://www.observium.org/wiki/Ubuntu_SVN_Installation (I am using Ubuntu 10.10 server). Everything worked, I gathered a lot of interesting data about my devices, I was happy. Yesterday, I updated to the very latest version of Observium following the instructions there http://www.observium.org/wiki/Using_SVN#Upgrading_to_the_very_latest_version. After completing this upgrade, I can't log in Observium anymore and it doesn't poll the devices as specified in /etc/cron.d/observium. Today I installed the last stable release following http://www.observium.org/wiki/Using_SVN#Upgrading_to_a_specific_release_of_… that it would solve my 2 problems but they remain. What would be the simplest way to re-install everything without losing my data? Thanks! Charles -- Charles Nadeau Ph.D. http://charlesnadeau.blogspot.com/

Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE) Support
by John Macleod 28 May '12

28 May '12

I manage numerous CUBE devices in my environment. I would like to use Observium for monitoring. The CUBE deployment is essentially an IP-IP voice gateway with two (or more) dial peers. Currently, they just show as they should as standard Cisco routers. Per the following link http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6790/gatecont/ps5640/w… there are some applicable Cisco MIBS for monitoring the voice elements of these devices, they appear to use the same voice MIBs as other Cisco devices, such as the AS5xxx. I do not know if it is possible during discovery/polling to see if voice is enabled on the platform or not and show/hide the applicable polled data? I would have no issue opening up a CUBE device for testing if anyone is interested. Thanks, John

Jira and Fisheye
by Adam Armstrong 25 May '12

25 May '12

Hi All, Just to remind everyone we have a Jira installation for reporting bugs. It's helpful when reporting things as it means I don't forget about them (which I have a habit of doing). It's a lot easier when I get some time to just look at Jira and clear out a couple than trying to remember what things people have reported via email. http://jira.observium.org We also have a Fisheye installation at http://fisheye.observium.org which gives a nice interface to our code. If you're reporting an error with a graph on a particular module, it's often helpful to send examples of the rrd files and an entry from the database (if you know how), as otherwise it can be a nightmare for us to test. adam.

Public Graphing Display
by Adam Blackington 23 May '12

23 May '12

The FAQ's and Configuration state that I can display graphs without requiring a username or password. This is great... but... here's the question I've made the appropriate modifications to config.php, however, what URL do I use to get to the public graphs? I tried looking at the URL of generated images, however, that doesn't seem to be correct. So you can understand my goal: I run a colocation company and require my customers to be able to review their bandwidth statistics. I utilize WHMCS and would like them to be able to view their graphs within their portal, thus, I've added the IP address of my WHMCS server as an 'authenticated' IP in config.php I'm thinking, once I can understand how to display the graphs, that I can use the port id as a variable to develop a custom module to display the graphs. So my questions are: After permitting an IP address to be able to view graphs without username/password, what is the syntax of the URL for displaying these graphs? It would be awesome to be able to integrate a custom range selection, but I'd really just settle for static generation of past 24 hours, past month, and past year.

missing data in graphs.
by Michael Ponto 22 May '12

22 May '12

As a newbie I am sure I am doing something wrong, but don't know what. I have Observium installed in new install of Ubuntu 10.04 and it is seeing the snmp for users from the edge router at each of 7 locations much of the data comes in such as tem and CPU load but no carts are created anyplace. The forms for the graphs do open but all are without any data lines. The graphs have a -nan listed for data.

Hi, I was trying to add support for NRG Printers (Ricoh-clones), following the method found in the Developing/NewOS page and i'm blocked on the fourth step ('Add an OS text name and possibly other settings in includes/static-config.php'), but this file is almost empty, and the only other place with detection logic seems to be includes/definitions.inc.php but the header is quite deterrent :-) ######################################################### # NO CHANGES TO THIS FILE, IT IS NOT USER-EDITABLE # ######################################################### # YES, THAT MEANS YOU # ######################################################### I've walked past the disclaimer and tried to add the new os type inside, and everything works now, is it the right method ? best regards -- seb

Developing
by Adam Armstrong 15 May '12

15 May '12

I think it's worth pointing out that if you're planning to do any development, you should come to our IRC channel, #observium on freenode. It's usually a lot quicker to get questions answered, and you might save yourself a lot of time by not copying the wrong bit of code. adam.

Has anyone got Observium to recognise the switch module on an Intel MFSYS25 compute chassis by any chance? Observium finds the controller very easily, but doesn't find any of the switch ports. Thanks Ian

Sorry if this is a newbie question I have installed Observium on a fresh Ubuntu 11.10 installation. Everything has gone absolutely perfectly. I used apt-get and installed all of the required packages as per the Ubutu installation page. It is running OK and has discovered the devices on my network. However, there is no information on any graphs. Not a single one. All the ports are correctly detected and it reading IP addresses and arp caches and most other information including CDP. No information on any graph and some are simply saying draw error. Syslog is reporting the cron jobs setup as per the instructions (below) are running without error. 33 */6 * * * root /opt/observium/discovery.php -h all >> /dev/null 2>&1 */5 * * * * root /opt/observium/discovery.php -h new >> /dev/null 2>&1 */5 * * * * root /opt/observium/poller.php -h all >> /dev/null 2>&1 Help appreciated.

rrdcached working?
by Jeffrey Ollie 09 May '12

09 May '12

Hi, I discovered Observium a few days ago and I really like what I see so far. However, I'm running into some issues trying to scale up to the size of my network. The first issue that I thought I'd bring up is rrdcached support... is it actually working? I've got an rrdcached instance running but as far as I can tell Observium isn't making any real use of it. I switched to a TCP/IP socket for rrdcached and I can see a TCP/IP socket being opened but no data or commands are ever sent across the socket... Can anyone clue me in as to what I may be doing wrong? I'm running rev 3149 on a Fedora 16 system. -- Jeff Ollie
