Geolocation is broken?
by Tommy Nevtelen 29 Jan '19

29 Jan '19

Hi When I clear geolocation for a device openstreetmap shows not found and it places it to the default in the middle of the Atlantic. Now for some reason all our stuff is being placed there. This also means that most devices are in Unknown in the Devices-> Location menu. But if I take the API request and clean it up, remove *** and amp; stuff it gives the correct answer, see the second screenshot. The url requested for this is: https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?format=json&accept-language=en&a… Running the latest pro version from trunk but had the issue before, just upgraded to see if it would go away. /T

Hi, We have the Professional Subscription running on Ubunto 16.4.1 64 bit version. I am trying to upgrade from v9662 to 9684. I can't find any errors in the logs. Any thought on what I could be missing would be appreciated. When I run the update procedure, I get the following: root@bobservium:/opt/observium# svn update Updating '.': At revision 9684. root@bobservium:/opt/observium# Here is the Version info from the GUI: Version Information Observium 19.1.9661 (6th January 2019) OS Linux 4.13.0-41-generic [amd64] (Ubuntu 16.04) Apache 2.4.18 (Ubuntu) PHP 7.0.30-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 (OPcache: ENABLED) Python 2.7.12 MySQL 5.7.22-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 (extension: mysqli 5.0.12-dev) SNMP NET-SNMP 5.7.3 RRDtool 1.5.5 Fping 3.13 (IPv4 and IPv6) As you can see the GUI version is still the old version.

svn update issue
by John Dicks 25 Jan '19

25 Jan '19

Hi all. I have an issue running svn update. My system details below. What happens is I get 'GET request returned unexpected delta base' or less commonly a checksum mismatch'. I then revert to my saved snapshot of the VM and start again. Each time it fails at a different part. We are 588 rev's behind so I attempted to svn update -r 9217 which I believe is only one version ahead of where we are. Hoping that with fewer committed changes it would make it through. Same error though. Does anyone have any thing for me to try. I have not seen anyone else online with this issue? Thanks a LOT!

Can you manually re-run conversion of old front page to new? No minigraphs left...
by Henrik Cednert (Filmlance) 25 Jan '19

Hello Had totally missed that there was a new front page/dash board. So was sort of chocked when running the upgrade and I lost all my minigraphs. Is it normal that the minigraphs isn’t carried over? Can I EASILY read that line in coinfig.php and have a new dashboard created from it? Sorry if there’s a thread about this, read back a few month but couldn’t find anything exactly like this. Please point me to it if there are one or more threads.

Hi all, I tried to create an alert for IPv6 Traffic from a interface which is able to display such traffic. There is also a RRD graph for it, but I can not find any values in the database. Would it be possible to add those so that a Alert Rule can be created?

Observium Enterprise
by Joelly, Alexander 24 Jan '19

24 Jan '19

Hello, Our company is split into two major regions (EU & NA) where we have a central datacenter in each region, all sites in the particular region is connected to it's regional datacenter and the two datacenters are red. connected together. As I understand with the enterprise version multiple pollers can be deployed within the topology to scale vertically where in our scenario we would place them in our datacenters as everything is reachable from there (DC and WAN equippement on remote sites). How would we monitor both regions? Our concern is that the latency between the datacenters (~120ms) could cause some issues and might slow in response if the gui,rrd and mysql servers are hosted in one region. Can the rrd and mysql servers deployed redundant - one node in EU and the second in NA and also each region a local gui instance? Or is it possible to run a separate instance in each region and have a common gui with visibility of all devices? We possibly might also monitor the LAN equipment of the sites in the future - that might add a couple of thousands devices per region (no real numbers known yet) We have a network team and service desk in each region, where we have about 1.500 datacenter and WAN devices in each region to monitor in the first step - we are calculating to have around 30 people from each region using the gui daily. Does someone have such a setup? We setup the CE for testing and we would go ahead using it globally, but not sure how the setup should/would like for that and we haven't found anything in that direction... Thanks, Alex

Alert Checker not picking up newly added switches
by Sam Jones 23 Jan '19

23 Jan '19

Observium, I had to do a manual rebuild of Alert Checkers to add new devices. These devices are newly added in the last 6 months. Is this expected behaviour and if so can I automate a rebuild of the Alert Checkers as I don't want to have to remember to click the rebuild button every month/week/day? Sam

Poseidon2 4002 dry contact check

Hi All, We have some new HWGroup - Poseidon 24002 devices with dry contacts (digital) connected to door sensor in our racks and some temperature sensors. Our current Observium (r9667) can see the temperature sensors but not the dry contact. There is any way to get the status of the contacts?

Alert message in event log
by Ming Wong, CLSA 22 Jan '19

22 Jan '19

Hi team, I am running Observium Professional 18.10.9472. An alert check has been created for monitoring high CPU. The Default Notifier (email) works fine, but there is no alert message in the Observium event log. In Device Property -> Alert Settings, I have the option to choose "Disable alerts -Don't send alert emails (but write to eventlog)". When enabled and threshold is reached, there is no alert message in the event log either. How can event logging for alarms be enabled ? Thanks for advice.

Disabling redundancy/stack metrics for standalone Cisco switch
by Peter Watts 18 Jan '19

18 Jan '19

Hello, I have commissioned a few new Cisco 3650 switches (WS-C3650-24TD-L) which are stacking-capable, but I have them running standalone. They're on IOS XE 16.6.5 and Observium is detecting/reporting the redundancy attributes for these switches but because they're not stacked, I'm getting an alert for 'nonRedundant'. cRFCfgRedundancyOperMode = 1 Is there a way I can force Observium to ignore the redundancy metrics for these switches? I tried disabling CISCO-RF-MIB on the device but it still persists and when I run './poller.php -h my3650switch -m status' I see the redundancy attributes coming through (assumed I shouldn't? not sure).

Any interfaces, peers, etc that re inside the LS do not appear in global, and vice-versa. Treat the LS like an entirely different router and snmp poll it, using: name of LS, name of routing instance (default if none) @ community name: LSNAME/default@public This of course requires SNMP to be configured properly within the LS, which is something like this in global: set snmp community public logical-system LSNAME routing-instance default

Cisco VRF
by Andre Geißler 12 Jan '19

12 Jan '19

Hi all, any Idea how that could be? We're using two Cisco 3850 (WS-C3850-24S-E) and VRF lite. On each discovery VRF information are deleted from observium. When doing an manual discovery of module cisco-vrf I can see the VRFs again. I can see the difference between a) /opt/observium/discovery.php -h hostname b) /opt/observium/discovery.php -h switch-vwd-sp1 -m cisco-vrf In the first case no VRFs are shown under module cisco-vrf in the second case they are. Thanks in advance. Have a nice day Andre
