IPSEC Tunnel graphs - Def Error
by Dale Chambers 07 Sep '20

07 Sep '20

Hi, I we predominantly have Cisco devices which is monitored via Observium. I have noticed that there is an issue showing graphs of IPSEC Tunnels. I am not sure when this started to fail but I am on version 20.8.10644. I have checked amongst several different devices and they all show the same error. This is tested on ASA5506, ASA5525, Cisco 1921, Cisco 2911 and Cisco 4331. All graphs shows 'Def Error' [cid:image007.png@01D6829C.C6E0D220] How do I resolved this issue? I have already tried running the discovery.php -h all, and I have even upgraded to 20.9.10652 and still having the same issue.

Enabling MIB and custom values support
by Marian Rychtecky 07 Sep '20

07 Sep '20

Hi all, I do have two questions with different topics, but I didn't want to send multiple emails. Hope you don't mind. First question is probably very simple, however I cannot find out - I need to collect information from Cisco devices using " CISCO-NETWORK-VIRTUALIZATION-OVERLAY-MIB". This MIB is part of Observium. How I will "activate" collecting these MIB values from a device please? I do have almost all modules active and I don't know how to add MIB to a certain device (not all devices, just 3 of them). Second question - as more and more devices (such as Arista) are giving up on SNMP turning slowly to REST APIs or similar methods, is there any way to push information to Observium using its own (python/php) script? I would imagine any kind of value mapping to graphs and then collecting values from scripts or JSON file.... Thank you for your time and support.

Connect to device icon?
by Chris Macneill 05 Sep '20

05 Sep '20

Hi, I was sure at one point there was a "Connect to device/terminal" icon in Observium, but either I'm mistaken and it was never there or now so buried I can no longer find it. Whilst hostnames and/or IP addresses are shown in Observium, they generally have active links attached to them to take you to other screens in Observium, this makes it hard to copy these into a Browser to gain access to the device's GUI. It would be nice to have a "Connect to device" icon next to the IP/Hostname that will make it much easier to click through to the device's own GUI. We recently started using Ubiquiti's UNMS monitoring system which is good for Ubiquiti devices, but pretty lousy for anything else. UNMS has a "Copy to clipboard" icon next to each IP address making it really easy to then connect to the device's GUI. I like the "Copy to clipboard" method rather than a URL link, as this is generic and you can then copy and paste into a browser or any other application. Regards Chris Macneill

Difference in polling between community and professionnal edition ?
by mosdvas 02 Sep '20

02 Sep '20

Hello, I've been using Observium for a few months in my company and I'm thinking about upgrading to the professional version. Does this version add more powerful mibs on hardware or add some fonctionnality on WMI polling ? Like for example : - BGP & Peering session on Mikrotiks (CCRXXX) - spooler tracking on Zebra printers - Windows's wmi poller able to list services and their states Best Regards,

Alert Check - Monitoring Cisco Stack Redundancy
by Mezzadri, Steven 01 Sep '20

01 Sep '20

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me write a better alert checker to determine if a Cisco stack has a missing member. Occasionally, one member of a stack will fail, but the stack continues to operate so it's not in a "down" state. I would like to get a notification when that happens. I am currently monitoring all stack ports, but any unused stack ports show "down" as well, so I'm looking for a better solution. [image: image.png] I would like to use another status indicator such as "stack is redundant" or "stacking state": [image: image.png] Perhaps cswRingRedundant ? [image: image.png] Could anyone assist me with how to construct an alert check to accomplish this? Thanks! -- Steven Mezzadri Network Engineer

observium docker/Kubernetes install

Hi all I wondered if anybody has setup observium inside a docker container or even inside a Kubernetes cluster? If they have: are they running it fine? How does it preform? what’s the usage like? Only reason I’m asking if I’m looking sadly to move all our VMs (50) into smaller containers (10) and running Kubernetes as most things can be done by containers I’m just yet to find anyone with an observium container?

Re: [Observium] Connect to device icon?
by Chris Macneill 27 Aug '20

I'm using the Subscription version, so maybe I remember from the days before we paid and were using the CE version. In the Subscription version under the Device Cog the "Connect via" options are replaced by a "Show Tech Support" icon, but nothing in there to connect anywhere. Looks like feature has somehow dropped off Subscription version, I'm a full administrator so should be able to see anything the system has to offer. Currently running 20.8.10631 (stable).

Reducing WiFi Error Alerts
by Chris Macneill 27 Aug '20

27 Aug '20

Hi, We get a lot of WiFi error alerts from Ubiquiti devices clogging up our event log. Most devices in Observium have a number of Sensors listed which allows thresholds to be adjusted to receive only genuine issues and reduce the noise level. Ubiquiti WiFi devices have no sensors listed for each device, so apparently no way to adjust thresholds? Regards Chris Macneill

Syslog alert checker functionality / OID "group" alerts (FC Port Monitoring)
by Markus Mohr 24 Aug '20

24 Aug '20

Hiya! Two questions or requests for some problems that just showed up. 1. Syslog with additional alert checker functionality We use observiums syslogserver for most of our systems and syslog alerts of course. Problem is, we can't set a delay. Like 1 system, 4 reports in 10 Minutes = alert. Is there any way this could be implemented or is already planned for observium? Main reason is, that we have some systems that need to alert, but only after a specific threshold. Otherwise we get flooded with senseless alarms. Waking up in the middle of the night because of a false alert sucks a bit :) 2. Building OID groups / FC Port monitoring We need a check for our FC switches to report, if a port has the wrong config and runs as FL instead of F. MIB and custom OID are no problem in this case, would be OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.75.1.2.1.1.3 - and it works. BUT I need to add a custom OID for every port, so 1.3.6.1.2.1.75.1.2.1.1.3.1.1, 1.3.6.1.2.1.75.1.2.1.1.3.1.2 etc. and create an alert check for every OID. Adding 24 or more custom OID etc. and the checks . well, sucks a bit. Any idea how this could be better managed? Best wishes Markus MOHR IT-Infrastruktur TakeASP AG

Ghost devices in alert checker
by Daniel Johansson 19 Aug '20

19 Aug '20

Hi I created a new alert checker today and it seems I have 2 ghost devices showing up now. Neither of the other alert checkers have them showing up. Could there be some issue in the db or can I find out which devices it picks up? When I click on the entitys it just says: No valid device specified A valid device was not specified in the URL. Please retype and try again. -- Any ideas? ---- Regards Daniel
