Alert Email Wont Change
by Connary, Scott 16 May '19

16 May '19

Good day, When we started using email alerts we had a very simple config. We had the lines for setting default in config.php commented out. And the setting in the webUI for use default on alerts set. So all alerts would go to: alerts(a)mycompany.com. Recently I have been working on updating our environment so that different devices have different contact emails so we can start bugging the device owners more specifically. I have the setting for use default turned off on the webUI. After multiple attempts I am still not able to get emails to follow the syscontact. I even added a new email address to the default email setting in the webUI and it STILL refuses to send to that new email. Is there a place someone else (I did not set the server up) could of hard coded that email? Thank you, Scott Connary

Unix-agent added to linux storage box but observium excludes it
by Cody Cook 09 May '19

09 May '19

[image: image.png] The unix-agent is excluded for this device but it runs and responds to unix-agent when using telnet. I have tried to manually discover and poll the unix-agent module with their respective php scripts but I still couldn't get any details to happen. Is there an override in the mysql database or an option I can force in config.php to force enable unix-agent at the device level? Thank you, Cody

Houskeeping question
by Joelly, Alexander 07 May '19

07 May '19

Hello, Currently with multiple distributed and partinioned pollers I only have the poller-wrapper.php process in the 5min schedule on the pollers and the discovery and housekeeping on the rrd-cache server. Is that okay or do I need to run the discovery and housekeeping also on the pollers? I'm asking because I have a device deleted, last rrd file was updated on 25. April and housekeeping settings 'RRD File Max Age' & 'Remove Deleted Ports Age' to 7d - and I actually set 'Remove Deleted Ports Age' to 2d but still have the rrd directory of the deleted device. Thought I would set the pollers 'only' for polling and do the discovery and housekeeping on the rrd server (as it's probably more efficient?) or is it not working that way? Thanks, Alex

Adjust rrd step size per device
by Steffen Klemer 06 May '19

06 May '19

Hey list, how much work would it be to have an option to adjust the rrd step size per device? Background is that we have a HP/H3C chassis that even with latest firmware takes average 1000s to poll; with fdb already disabled. 98% of the time is spent in the ports module, polling ifEntry and ifxEntry. We'd really like to at least get an hourly graph of the traffic which is better then nothing. The idea is to put this dev into its own group and have a different cron job for it (excluding this group from the default one). We do have a case with HP that is open for 2 years so the 'tell the vendor that their SNMP engine is crap'-part was already done... lg Steffen -- Steffen Klemer E-Mail: steffen.klemer(a)gwdg.de Tel: +49 551 201 2170 ------------------------------------------------------------------ GWDG - Gesellschaft für wissenschaftliche Datenverarbeitung mbH Göttingen Am Faßberg 11, 37077 Göttingen Service-Hotline: Tel: +49 551 201-1523 E-Mail: support(a)gwdg.de Kontakt: Tel: 0551 201-1510 Fax: 0551 201-2150 E-Mail: gwdg(a)gwdg.de WWW: https://www.gwdg.de ------------------------------------------------------------------ Geschäftsführer: Prof. Dr. Ramin Yahyapour Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Prof. Dr. Christian Griesinger Sitz der Gesellschaft: Göttingen Registergericht: Göttingen, Handelsregister-Nr.

RRDCached issue - HELP!
by Hamilton, Kent 06 May '19

06 May '19

Starting this weekend rrdcached appears to have stopped working correctly. Has anyone seen an issue with this? We've been using it for a long time and it seems to have broken totally early Sat morning (somewhere around 1 to 2 AM) Running the poller with debug doesn't give me a status any more, and I have hundreds of rrdtool processes being spawned to the point it actually took over most of the disk IO on our NAS on Saturday. /opt/observium# poller.php -h localhost -m system -dd | grep RRD RRDtool 1.7.0 Copyright by Tobias Oetiker <tobi(a)oetiker.ch> RRDCacheD 1.7.0 o RRDtool 1.7.0 (rrdcached 1.7.0: unix:/var/run/rrdcached.sock) RRD PIPE OPEN[TRUE] o RRDTool Usage (0s 0%) RRD PIPE CLOSE[TRUE] The host setup is: Ubuntu 18.04 Observium Professional 19.5.9870 PHP Weathermap 0.97b rrdcached 1.7.0-1build1 rrdtool-1.7.0-1build1 PHP 7.2 The rrdcached command line is /usr/bin/rrdcached -B -R -F -L -w 1800 -z 1800 -f 3600 -t 10 -b /opt/observium/rrd -j /var/lib/rrdcached/journal/ -G www-data -U www-data -p /var/run/rrdcached.pid -s www-data -m 0660 -l unix:/var/run/rrdcached.sock Really need to get this one solved if anyone can offer help. ________________________________ This e-mail and any documents accompanying it may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information belonging to Exegy, Inc.

Pollers and RRD files
by Joelly, Alexander 05 May '19

05 May '19

Hi, When using a dedicated rrd caching server - for what is the local /opt/observium/rrd caching folder used for? In our setup we created a dedicated rrd-caching server and several distributed and partitioned pollers and would expect the rrd's are only written/updated on the rrd-caching server and do not need much diskspace on the pollers but it seems the rrd's are also written on the pollers? Is that on purpose (fallback - rrd server unavailable) or what is the need of the rrd's on the pollers when using a rrd-caching server? Thanks, Alex

BGP Neighbor Descriptions
by Richard Savage 02 May '19

02 May '19

Hi We have observium v19.4.9840 (rolling) setup and working great with alerting for BGP sessions going down. For BGP sessions with public AS Numbers this works well as it shows up which AS number and who the AS number is assigned to as gone down: But when its a private AS number with a private IP, its then much harder to distinguish what the BGP neighbor is related to without logging into the router and looking at the neighbor and the neighbor descriptions set against the BGP neighbor: In most routers you can set a description against a BGP neighbor in the config. Is it possible to get this description attached to the BGP neighbor in observium thus then adding it to the alert when the BGP neighbor goes down? This is the config on a Cisco ASR9K for the above neighbor: router bgp 65000 neighbor 100.127.18.181 description USG1-GREE Could this description be pulled and added to the neighbor and thus alert? More than happy to provide some debug if required and any SNMP data that might be helpful. Many Thanks Richard

Auto Discovery
by Adam R. Koczarski 02 May '19

02 May '19

Hello, I’m new to this group and to Observium. A friend turned me on to it a few weeks ago. I have Observium 19.3.9774 running on Ubuntu 18.04.2LTS. Everything is working great! I’ve added my switches and LLDP and SNMP data is flowing in and all of the cross-references have been established. My question pertains to adding new devices. I can successfully add new devices via the GUI or the CLI as described in the documentation. My friend was telling me he <thinks> devices can be detected and added to the device list automatically via some sort of discovery?? Is this a thing or is he pulling my leg? Thanks! _____________________________ Adam Koczarski P.E., S.E.

new alert checks?
by Tony Guadagno 02 May '19

02 May '19

Hi, I am currently using the current ce version (Observium CE 18.9.9420). After upgrading from the previous ce version, i see the alert checks have completely changed. the alert checks i had still seem to function, but when I try to modify them, the fields are all different....I am getting the impression that there is an alert conversion script? I have looked for docs on how to use the new alert checks but cannot find any. Can you please point me to a page that explains how to use the new alert checks and how to fix the upgraded alert checks. thanks! Tony
