Observium Configuration & DataBase BAckup & Restore
by shaun＠sbnetworks.co.za 04 May '20

04 May '20

Hi all I hope and trust everyone is keeping well and safe during this time. Can anyone please assist me, I am trying to make a backup of my Observium installation to move it to a "bigger" system / machine, I installed the application to see how it worked and to test features, needless to say that I love it, and have subsequently set it up to monitor my entire WISP network. However, I unfortunately did not pay much attention to the system's specifications, as it was not initially intended to be a permanent deployment, not knowing what to expect or that it would turn out to be such a wonderful tool. Please could you advise on a step by step procedure to enable me to make a full backup of the installation / database / configs in order to migrate it to a more future proof system, bearing in mind that my Linux experience is very limited. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated Stay safe Regards, Shaun

SNMP Max Repetitons enabled - some modules takes longer time to poll
by Kent Johannessen 30 Apr '20

30 Apr '20

Hello, We recently enabled max-rep to improve our Observium installation. And it did reduce polling time for most modules. But we see some module had significant increases. Specifically the poller modules for cisco eigrp, cef and cbqos and the bgp poller also seems to have increased somewhat. Has anyone seen this behavior ? Where should be begin to look?

Attention to OBS-3006 (vPC onNX-OS)

Hello, I've done a quick patch to get vPC metrics from NX-OS devices, can you kindly take a look at it? The Jira issue is https://jira.observium.org/projects/OBS/issues/OBS-3006 For now, that adds just graphs to Status section. I can put some effort to create a full-blown vPC tab on the Device page to get even more stats for it, what do you think on that? --- Sergei Fomin

PPPoE Interfaces Deleted
by shaun＠sbnetworks.co.za 23 Apr '20

23 Apr '20

Hi guys, Please if anyone could offer some advice or guidance I would really appreciate it. I recently deployed Observium in my network for monitoring purposes, everything is working great, better than ever expected, except for the following: Each time a PPPoE client interfaces reconnects, the previous data is deleted, interface is deleted and the graphs and usage data start fresh from the time of the new connection. Is there any way of setting up the Observium installation to retain previous session data and usage and just have it "carry on" recording data each time the PPPoE session reconnects? Any assistance will be appreciated. Thanking you in advance Shaun

sysContact-->Observium Contact
by Ryan, Spencer J. 22 Apr '20

22 Apr '20

Is it possible to use a device's sysContact (Either from SNMP or an override) to tie that to a specific observium contact, or is that for the email transport only? My use case is that I want different devices to go to different pagerduty integrations, and the only way I can see to do that right now is to build different alert checks for each set, with the correct PD "Contact" associated with that checker.

How to diagnose failing ldap
by Michael Spaulding 15 Apr '20

15 Apr '20

So I had the server working with mysql login, but I'm struggling with getting the ldap authentication to work. I copied the example out of the instructions, but every time I enter the username/password, the website just resets. I tried going to http://fqdn/debug, but it just tells me that the cache is disabled in the config, which it is. Unfortunately I can't find any debug logs, or entries in any logs that would help to isolate the issue. This is my Authentication Model section <scrubbed>: // Authentication Model // $config['auth_mechanism'] = "mysql"; // default, other options: ldap, http-auth, please see documentation for config help $config['auth_mechanism'] = "ldap"; $config['auth_ldap_binddn'] = "<Distinguished Name>"; $config['auth_ldap_bindpw'] = "<Password>"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['uid'] = "sAMAccountName"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['uidNumber'] = "objectSid"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['cn'] = "name"; $config['auth_ldap_attr']['dn'] = "distinguishedname"; $config['auth_ldap_objectclass'] = "person"; $config['auth_ldap_version'] = 3; $config['auth_ldap_server'] = "<domain controller.domain>"; $config['auth_ldap_port'] = 389; $config['auth_ldap_starttls'] = false; $config['auth_ldap_prefix'] = "uid="; $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",<Distinguished Name Suffix>"; $config['auth_ldap_group'] = array("<Distinguished Name of Observium Users Group>"); $config['auth_ldap_groupbase'] = "<Distinguished Name of Group Base>"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmembertype'] = "fulldn"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmemberattr'] = "member"; unset($config['auth_ldap_groups']); $config['auth_ldap_groups']['Distinguished Name of Observium Admins Group']['level'] = 10; $config['auth_ldap_groups']['Distinguished Name of Observium Users Group']['level'] = 1; Any suggestions are much appreciated!

Default port for web-access
by James Ngo 15 Apr '20

15 Apr '20

Hello everyone, I am totally new to Observium and has found the app is very useful. I installed Observium using the automated method, first on a VirtualBox to test out the features. So far everything has worked for me (yay.) I am planning to install the app on the actual production server, running Ubuntu 18.04 server, latest updates and all However, on the production server, we have already Freeradius which use mysql and phpMyAdmin to maintain the database. These are using the default port 80 I tried to find where I can change the default port at the installation but I could not find anything. If I change the default port in the /etc/apache2/ports.conf (and subsequent in the virtualhost), would that change my Freeradius server default port as well? My second question, is there a command line that I can use to reset the admin username/password? If we forget the admin password, how could we get back to the program? So if anyone here has run both engine on the same server, please shred a light on this for me? Thank you all you guys, and sorry if this question is a nob!

Hello! We have this nice status-graph in observium: [cid:image001.png@01D61338.1A381E30] Is it possible to get an output of a procentage of used user-ports? In my example I have 17/27 = 63% utilization of ports. I dont want to count in ports that are shutdown, often trunk or sfp-ports. Vlan interfaces /port-channels and so on is also counted as UP, but I dont really care about that. Regards Fredrik
