Observium with Radius

16 Oct '20

Hello all, I have setup Observium with radius auth. Today I noticed that everyone is getting full admin rights in Observium. I changed my own radius settings and tested. Observium is running on 10.230.11.81 and radius on 10.230.11.111 This is the radius response: (587) Sent Access-Accept Id 94 from 10.230.11.111:1812 to 10.230.11.81:43443 length 0 (587) Juniper-Local-User-Name = "remote" (587) Filter-Id = "pfy" <-- (587) GENIE-USER-PRIVILEGE = PRIV-ADMINISTRATOR (587) Infinera-User-Category = "administrator" (587) Service-Type = Administrative-User (587) NS-Admin-Privilege = All-VSYS-Root-Admin (587) Class = 0x6e65 Config.php: $config['auth_radius_groups']['admin']['level'] = 10; // Full administrative access $config['auth_radius_groups']['cto']['level'] = 7; // Global read access with secured info (ie rancid configs) $config['auth_radius_groups']['pfy']['level'] = 5; // Global read access [cid:image005.png@01D6A21D.84BFC540] Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

How to create Alert Checker for a specific port?
by Brian Bianchi 16 Oct '20

16 Oct '20

Hi folks, I have an application running on port 7990. I would like to create a custom Alert Checker to check if this port is functional. I have read the documentation here: https://docs.observium.org/alert_checker/ https://docs.observium.org/alerting_examples/ The "port is operational but functionally down" option looks like the one for me. But how the heck do I select a specific port of 7990 to be monitored? Thanks!

Syslog problem with Arista and Nexus device
by Sachin Guda 09 Oct '20

09 Oct '20

Hello Team, I am running latest Observium version, Syslog is configured on switch to send logs to observium server. They send logs to observium (verified with capture on server interface) but observium doesn’t show it in syslog tab it says- No syslog entries found! This device does not have any syslog entries. Check that the syslog daemon and Observium configuration options are set correctly, that this device is configured to send syslog to Observium and that there are no firewalls blocking the messages. See Syslog Integration <https://docs.observium.org/syslog/> guide and configuration options <https://docs.observium.org/config_options/#syslog-settings> for more information. At the same time syslog can be seen from other devices like cisco CAT switch, ASA firewall and Cisco ASR. __________________________________________________ [image: http://itiviti.com/email_signature_logo_2017_120.png] <http://www.itiviti.com/> *Sachin Guda* Managed Services, Itiviti Network Engineer Direct: +46 8 506 477 52 Mobile: +46 73 901 02 53 Sachin.Guda(a)itiviti.com <%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20mailto:Sachin.Guda@itiviti.com> Kungsgatan 36 , P.O.

Trouble with Active Directory group config on Observium CE v20.9.10731
by Brian Bianchi 08 Oct '20

08 Oct '20

Hello, I am trying to configure Active Directory authentication on my Observium CE v20.9.10731 server using this page as a guide -> https://docs.observium.org/authentication/#active-directory I am passed the point where my username and password are authenticated. It is the group config I am confused about. I have an Active Directory group "eng-admins" that I want to give administrative privileges to, of which my login (bbianchi) is a member. And I have an Active Directory group "eng-team" that I want to give generic non-admin privileges. My domain is hq.viviport.com. It is not clear to me how to configure these lines to achieve this: $config['auth_ldap_recursive'] = TRUE; $config['auth_ldap_recursive_maxdepth'] = 3; $config['auth_ldap_prefix'] = "CN="; $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",DC=hq,DC=viviport,DC=com"; $config['auth_ldap_group'] = array("CN=Observium Users,OU=Groups,DC=hq,DC=viviport,DC=com"); $config['auth_ldap_groupbase'] = "OU=Groups,DC=hq,DC=viviport,DC=com"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmembertype'] = "fulldn"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmemberattr'] = "member"; unset($config['auth_ldap_groups']); $config['auth_ldap_groups']['CN=Observium Admins,OU=Groups,DC=hq,DC=viviport,DC=com']['level'] = 10; $config['auth_ldap_groups']['CN=Observium Users,OU=Groups,DC=hq,DC=viviport,DC=com']['level'] = 1; I have enabled debug logging.

RRD max value

Hi all, I would like to ask you for help in order to resolve an issue with RRD. I do have port-channel with max speed of 400Gbit/s (correctly detected by Observium), however when traffic will reach 100G it will not be shown. I believe there is max limit on that RRD, as some other port-channels works good. Of course I don't want to loose history if possible. Other monitoring systems using same MIBs are working as expected.

Sensor blues
by Lars Joergensen 01 Oct '20

01 Oct '20

Hi I'm having trouble with sensors on SFPs in Aruba switches. Looking at the switch, I get this: Transceiver in 3/49 Interface Index : 155 Type : SFP+LR Model : J9151A Connector Type : LC Wavelength : 1310nm Transfer Distance : 10.0km (9um), Diagnostic Support : DOM Serial Number : AX07SL0130407 Status Temperature : 26.289C Voltage : 3.3408V Tx Bias : 41.728mA Tx Power : 0.6339mW, -1.980dBm Rx Power : 0.4225mW, -3.742dBm But looking in Observium, I get this: [cid:image002.png@01D697E4.402E6B90] There's no data for RX power (which is the most interesting) and the data for TX power is wrong. I think this is an OEM SFP (the serial number looks weird), but if the switch can see the data, shouldn't Observium be able to pull it too? Temperature, voltage and current graphs are correct. ... and just now, when I clicked around, the correct values are now showing for TX and RX power in the graphs. What's going on?

Observium deleting switch entries instead of alerting
by Pisano, Anthony D. 30 Sep '20

30 Sep '20

Hello, I ran into a weird situation today that I’m unsure of how to proceed with. Due to a power failure we lost power to 3 of 4 switches in a Cisco 9300 Stack. At 10:57am yesterday in the event log of this switch I can see the OperStatus of the Stack Ports go down. I have an alert configured against the status of “Switch Stack Failure” does not equal OK. However this alert did not go off at the time of the outage, it has for other switch stacks though. Then at 5am this morning the logs of the device indicate it went through and essentially removed switches 2-4 of this stack. We are currently running 20.7.10549. I know we need to update, but our linux team has not gotten around to it. Is there anyway to look into this?

HTML Base tag appears wrong when using IPv6
by Pieter De Wit 29 Sep '20

29 Sep '20

Hi, Yes, this is “wrong” but I have an internal server which happens to have IPv6 and no DNS. If I access my Observium installation using the address, the generated HTML is as follow: <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <base href="http://[[2406:xxxx:xxxx:3300::202]]/"/> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8”/> The base setting has double brackets which breaks loading. (Yes, I can override this in the config :) ) Cheers, Pieter
