The relevant code in poller-wrapper is : def get_config_data(): config_cmd = ['/usr/bin/env', 'php', '%s/config_to_json.php' % ob_install_dir] try: proc = subprocess.Popen(config_cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stdin=subprocess.PIPE) except: print("ERROR: Could not execute: %s" % config_cmd) sys.exit(2) return proc.communicate()[0].decode('utf-8') # decode required in python3 try: config = json.loads(get_config_data()) except: print("ERROR: Could not load or parse observium configuration, are PATHs correct?") sys.exit(2) The error is referring to json.loads being unable to parse the output from config_to_json.php. So either config_to_json.php isn’t outputting the config, or it’s not parseable, perhaps it has PHP errors in it. Adam.

Gaps in Graphs
by Justin Radke 03 Jan '20

Hello, periodically I have "gaps" in my graphs which appears to be when Observium was unable to reach a particular host. This problem occurs on multiple hosts at the same time on different network segments and I have been unable to find any commonality except for the Observium server itself. I noticed that the gaps in the graph also exist at the same times for Observium's checks of localhost. Checking localhost of course demonstrates this is not a lack of network connectivity outside of the server. At these times I also found these entries but I'm not sure if they are related since they are merely syslog messages but thought I'd mention it: Jan 1 21:39:24 voldemort rsyslogd-2177: imuxsock begins to drop messages from pid 27161 due to rate-limiting Jan 1 21:45:50 voldemort rsyslogd-2177: imuxsock lost 22 messages from pid 27161 due to rate-limiting root@observium(~) :ps auxw | grep 27161 root 27161 0.0 0.0 200848 6520 ?

If I want to see Receive Power, Link Capacity, Transmit Power, etc., I can use this URL: http://10.14.4.76/p2pradios/view=graphs/ But I get all of the devices. I don't see a way to apply filters. Getting here from the Web page, I select Ports/P2P Radios. For Access points, all of their clients show up. In my case, I am seeing 700 devices on a single page. How can I apply a filter?

Memory stats not showing on Juniper MX204s

Hi all, We've just swapped out some Juniper MX80's for MX204s: https://www.juniper.net/us/en/products-services/routing/mx-series/mx204/ and we are running Juniper JunOS 18.2R1.9 ([MX204] Internet Router). We didn't add a new device, but Observium picked it up OK as it has the same details. But I've now noticed memory usage has gone. Any tips? -- Kind Regards, Gavin Henry. http://www.surevoip.co.uk

not getting cpu cores and network interfaces
by cody＠mail-server.cc 13 Dec '19

13 Dec '19

Hi, I have some servers where i only get one cpu graph instead the cores listed where the Temperatur sensors showing 12 cores - there are two six-core Intel Xeon X5675 cpu's inside. Also i do not get any network interfaces fetched: ##### Module Start: ports ##### o Caching OIDs ifDescr ifAlias ifName ifType ifOperStatus o Caching DB 0 ports o Discovering ports o Duration 30.2533s There are two onboard 1G and two onboard 10G nic's and a additional dual-port 1G nic card inside. Also the inventory option does not show up. SNMP is configured the same as on all the other servers, running Debian 10 on them. I have two other Servers with Debian 7 and Intel Xeon X3360 showing all the cores, nic's and inventory. Thanks, Cody

High CPU alarm
by Daniel Johansson 12 Dec '19

12 Dec '19

Hi I have a synology nas with 1CPU and 4 cores in it. Whenever 1 core gets a shitload to do I get a CPU high alarm although it's not the combined cpu load that is high. Is there something I can do in the alarm checker to combine the cpu loads of all cores and trigger an alarm when all 4 combined is over for example 80% load? Regards Daniel

Is there any way to adjust the thresholds of alerts in observium? I have a few alerts that don´t seem to be an actual alert, a couple of them seem to almost be bad readings. Screenshot below. These are from HP 2920 Switches.

Transferring License to New Server
by Dinuka Jayamaha 03 Dec '19

03 Dec '19

Hello, I am in the process of migrating the on premise Observium instance to AWS. I want to setup the AWS instance and run it in parallel with the on premise instance for some time to make sure that there isn't issues with the new instance. Are we allowed to run the same license on two servers at the same time or is there another way of doing this without me having to buy another license just for this purpose. Thanks, Dinuka Jayamaha

I am continuing to have issues with this config.php
by Dana Bostic 02 Dec '19

02 Dec '19

I have Active Directory authentication working but only for whatever group is "last in the list" for $config['auth_ldap_suffix']. I have a username in the OU "OUAdministrators" and another account in OU "ServerAdmin". If I comment out the line $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",ou=OUAdministrators,ou=Users,ou=BCPUS,dc=mw,dc=na,dc=cat,dc=com"; and uncomment out //$config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",ou=ServerAdmin,ou=Users,ou=BCPUS,dc=mw,dc=na,dc=cat,dc=com"; then the account in OUAdministratos no longer can login and the one in ServerAdmin starts working. If I leave them both uncommented, then the one that is last in the list works. Is there a way to have users in two OUs be used to authenticate? $config['auth_ldap_prefix'] = "cn="; $config['auth_ldap_groupbase'] = "ou=HighSecurity,ou=Groups,ou=BCPUS,dc=mw,dc=na,dc=cat,dc=com"; $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",ou=OUAdministrators,ou=Users,ou=BCPUS,dc=mw,dc=na,dc=cat,dc=com"; //$config['auth_ldap_group'] = "cn=BCPUS-Observium_access,ou=HighSecurity,ou=Groups,ou=BCPUS,dc=mw,dc=na,dc=cat,dc=com"; //$config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",ou=ServerAdmin,ou=Users,ou=BCPUS,dc=mw,dc=na,dc=cat,dc=com"; //$config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",ou=StandardSecurity,ou=Users,ou=BCPUS,dc=mw,dc=na,dc=cat,dc=com"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmembertype'] = "fulldn"; $config['auth_ldap_groupmemberattr'] = "member"; unset($config['auth_ldap_groups']); $config['auth_ldap_groups']['cn=BCPUS-Observium_admins,ou=HighSecurity,ou=Groups,ou=BCPUS,dc=mw,dc=na,dc=cat,dc=com']['level'] = 10; $config['auth_ldap_groups']['cn=BCPUS-Observium_access,ou=HighSecurity,ou=Groups,ou=BCPUS,dc=mw,dc=na,dc=cat,dc=com']['level'] = 5; [Telescope Separator] Dana Bostic Technology Specialist Caterpillar Inc. 954 NC 42 East, Clayton, NC 27527 email: bostic_dana_r(a)cat.com<mailto:bostic_dana_r@cat.com> | phone: 919-550-1260 Caterpillar: Confidential Green

Problems with Geolocation and static config of coordinates
by Daniel Johansson 02 Dec '19

02 Dec '19

Hi I have 1 site that does not show on the map even though I have cofigured it with static coordinates both via "Manual coordinates" option on the devices on that location and also tried creating a config line with the syslocation tag to put it on the same coordinates. $config['location_map']['Lulea'] = "65.5861680,22.1594800"; I can't understand why just this site has this problem and none of the other 50+ sites. Any ideas? /Daniel

Alert checkers - thresholds and grouping
by Andreas Kotowicz 29 Nov '19

29 Nov '19

Hi, I’m looking for pointers on how to implement alert checkers with the following requirements: (A) test condition: [ sensor_value greater @sensor_limit ] + buffer - the [ ] part itself works, but I need to add a buffer (offset) for some checks not to throw false positives - I’m aware of the delay option, but this doesn’t help in my case - spelling out something like "sensor_value greater @sensor_limit + 5” doesn’t work for me (B) aggregate / pool over devices -check a number of devices and only alert me if, eg. 5/10 are over specific criteria, e.g.: - check all internal PDU temperatures - if all sensor_value greater X --> alert - I know how to check each device individually: (device.device_id in 82|83|84|85|86|87|88|89|90|91|92|93|94|95|96|97|98|99 AND sensor.sensor_descr regexp internal) - how do I convert this into a “if true for all devices” statement? Lastly, I’m looking for documentation and examples on how to invoke scripts from alert checkers. The documentation appears to be quite sparse [1] in this regard. I’m especially interested on how to extract / grab additional data from observium (ie from other devices) if specify test conditions fail. cheers, Andreas [1] https://docs.observium.org/alerting_transports/

request: graph number of event/alert logs
by Henrik Aarfeldt 28 Nov '19

28 Nov '19

Hi, In the event/alert log, we have a list of all events/alerts (systemwide, on a single unit, group etc) Would be nice to visualize the count in a single graph. Then we can quickly spot the date/time, when a lot of events/alerts happened. Maybe it’s already there, but I just haven’t located it 😊 -- Best regards Henrik Aarfeldt Region Hovedstaden Center for IT, Medico & Telefoni (CIMT) 2100 København Ø
