09 Nov '18

I saw a thread back a while regarding Cisco Firepower and Observium. I'm currently testing version 6.3 (testing for 6.4 will begin soon) and would be happy to provide anything needed to get the device fully supported in Observium. Always happy to help!

Missing Ports
by Tim Schmidt 09 Nov '18

09 Nov '18

I've got a Peplink Balance 310 that I've put into Observium. It reads the device and picks up processor, memory, etc. For the ports though, it is only picking up 2 wan ports and one lan port. There are another 3 lan ports that it is not picking up. Peplink is a newer product for me so I'm not sure if I'm missing something or what. I'm guessing it's something to do with the EtherLike-MIB that is being used. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Tim Schmidt

New Device AKCP SensorProbe2Plus
by Stefan.Immel＠stroeher.de 09 Nov '18

09 Nov '18

We startet to use a SensorProbe2 Plus from AKCP but unfortunatly it is not yet supported by observium. Anybody out there who uses it too and has it implemented? If not, I'm looking for ways to integrate it but unfortunatly I cannot find the right files to do that. Where are the definitions that contain the mappings from sysObjectID to the right OS and MIBS?

1024 TB limit on disks when monitored over SNMP...?
by Henrik Cednert (Filmlance) 08 Nov '18

08 Nov '18

Hello We just expanded a volume on a DDN GPFS system to over 1 PB. I monitor this volume via SNMP via a Windows server. Noticed that I run into a 1024TB cap on the size there though. Trying to understand where this cap is comping from, if it’s the SNMP on windows or something in observium. Anyone that’ve dealt with this?

OS version mismatch in syslog emails
by Ben Chase 07 Nov '18

07 Nov '18

Hi all, I’m getting syslog emails from a particular router (Juniper MX) that reports an older OS version than what is installed. The observium web interface and other email alerts show the correct version as does ’show version’ on the box itself. I’d like to determine if the router is sending bad info or if Observium is reporting old data in this one instance for some reason. Thanks for any help. ---- Version Information Observium 18.11.9556 (6th November 2018) OS Linux 3.10.0-693.21.1.el7.x86_64 [amd64] (CentOS 7) Apache 2.4.6 (CentOS) OpenSSL/1.0.2k-fips mod_fcgid/2.3.9 PHP/7.0.29 PHP 7.0.29 (OPcache: ENABLED) Python 2.7.5 MySQL 5.5.56-MariaDB (extension: mysqli 5.5.56-MariaDB) SNMP NET-SNMP 5.7.2 RRDtool 1.6.0 Fping 3.10 (IPv4 only) -- Ben Chase

BGP Prefix Count Graphs
by Robert Williams 06 Nov '18

06 Nov '18

Hi, It's only occasional that we use these particular graphs, so I can't say when it stopped working unfortunately :( As far as I can see, every 'Prefix Count' graphs is broken / non-existent for every platform we have (IOS + IOS-XR). <server>/routing/protocol=bgp/view=graphs/graph=prefixes_ipv4unicast/ [cid:image002.png@01D4751F.0680B040] However, all the 'Update Counters' graphs are OK, for exactly the same neighbours: [cid:image004.jpg@01D4751F.0680B040] A quick check of the RRDs in the device folders shows that anything starting with "cbgp-" appears to contain the neighbour and address-family, rather than a 'numeric' name: [cid:image007.png@01D4751E.6EAFF140] So maybe it should be looking at those? Rather than cbgp-3176.rrd for example? We have recently completed a round of IOS-XR upgrades so I'm not entirely confident this is caused by an issue on the Observium side to be honest!

Linux distro
by Jason Vanlandingham 05 Nov '18

05 Nov '18

I'm building a new box to replace my ancient Observium server. I'm most comfortable with CentOS, but most of the help docs I've seen appear to be geared toward Ubuntu. Is there a great reason to go Ubuntu over CentOS? Or is there another distro that is better for Observium? I stayed away from Ubuntu because I didn't care for the GUI, but I realized I have probably spent less than a hour per year in the GUI of that machine.

Sensor issues since approx November 1st
by Anthony Somerset 02 Nov '18

02 Nov '18

Hi There I’m running a test bed of observium at home seperately of our main installation - i had previously written a very basic observium agent module that polls current power usage for a home monitoring sensor and outputs it, and then a custom polling module that reads this data and basically graphs it as a power sensor under a device (https://gist.github.com/anthonysomerset/3860b7a3b650d8bbbf53faac2d5eeab5 <https://gist.github.com/anthonysomerset/3860b7a3b650d8bbbf53faac2d5eeab5>) the unix-agent is working same as before but since i updated overnight on 1st november the graph has disappeared and my event log is filled up with sensor added events: also under the device itself the sensor is saying deleted around 5 days ago (2018-10-27 00:01:04) this looks like immediately after it updated on that day (looks like last commit on that day was 9517) any thoughts on how i need to fix?

Observium Syslog issues
by David Rossi 01 Nov '18

01 Nov '18

I have an installation of Observium that has been up and running perfectly for about 18 months. Last Friday I ran updates and now syslog is no longer working. I have found that prior to the upgrade, rsyslog was version 7, now I am at Version 8. In searching I found that a few configuration file changes, I did those, and still a no go. Has anyone else come across this? I am a novice at Linux, and totally at a loss here. I can do a tcpdump and sure enough the syslog messages are hitting the server, but not displayed within Observium. Any help would be appreciated, but, please keep in mind I am a Centos novice. Dave Rossi.
