Help with UNIX Agent and Bind
by Timothy Stoddard 23 Apr '24

23 Apr '24

All, I would like some help with the UNIX Agent. I have been able to get the agent up and running on the device and listen on port 36602 which in turn the Observium server can communicate with. I have UNIX Agent turned on in Obervium config and the server does show me a button to turn on "BIND" with a slider button. When I slide the BIND button to ON and press save Observium says "No Application found on this device." I have provided screenshots. What am I missing because I am close to getting this working. I am running Observium 24.3.13396 (stable) Thanks, -- Tim

status field in devices table
by Eric W. Bates (he) 10 Apr '24

10 Apr '24

I have 2 Palo Alto firewalls which dropped off the map at the same time about 25 days ago. I think it may have coincided with an Observium upgrade; but I didn't write down update particulars and I don't think Observium maintains a history? When I run discovery with debug there is a SQL query posted (which fails) attempting to lookup the device: SQL[SELECT * FROM `devices` WHERE `disabled` = 0 AND `hostname` LIKE 'vpn01-p.{redacted}' AND `status` = '1' AND `poller_id` = '0' ORDER BY `last_discovered_timetaken` ASC] In this case, the query fails because "status" is actually set to 0. So what is the "status" field for in the "devices" table and how is it set 'wrong?' There is a "statuses" tab in the web GUI for the device's "properties", but in this case (a PAN firewall) there are 2 MIB entries for indicating the fail-over status of the device pair ("HA State" and "HA Peer State"); so I don't think they have anything to do with the "status" field in the DB. -- Clark 159a 508/289-3112

Problems with downgrade from commercial edition to community edition
by observium-mailing-list＠centropolis.net 03 Apr '24

03 Apr '24

Hi, my company was using Observium (Subsciption Edition, SE) for quite a long time so I wanted to stick with Observium for my private lab. Since I have just some private Mikrotik routers and APs in the lab, the commercial edition might be way too mighty for my ~ 10 devices. So I tried to get the old installation downgraded to the CE edition. There was a hint on Observium's website a long time ago but I was not able to find it anymore. So I tried the idea from the current webpage (starting from Community Edition): Since I had an old Mariadb installation, I had to upgrade to Mariadb10.6.17 as well during installation. After I updated the databases with |/opt/observium/discovery.php -u | and made a full discovery with |/opt/observium/discovery.php -h all | |But I ran in trouble with the installation: | |So, my downgrade does not work this way. And yes, I got a backup of the previous installation ;-) | | | | | |I think, this derives from the information, that the CE Version does not support groups (?), but this is just a guess. | | | | | |So basically, I have two questions:| |1. Is there a recipe to downgrade from commercial to community edition? | |2. Would'nt it make sense to have an subscription edition limited to private / home lab (aka advanced private users) users with a limitation in the max. amount of devices? I think, the SE is a little bit too expensive to private installations. And yes, therefore is a CE, but therefore I would need to downgrade which did not work out for me.| | | |Cheers,| |John | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | || ||

span port on hp switch alerts as down....why?
by Tony Guadagno 22 Mar '24

22 Mar '24

Hi, I have created a simple checker to notify on some specific ports. The way I built it is that I include the word "alert" on the description. The checker parses that and alerts if that port goes down. This is working fine for the most part...except on one port. On my switch, C8 is a fiber 10gig port and it is up as shown here: Status and Counters - Port Counters for port C8 Name : random span port MAC Address : eaaaa3-cd9bb8 Link Status : Up Port Enabled : Yes [cid:image002.jpg@01DA7C37.EF9B2A60] However, the checker lists it as down: [cid:image009.jpg@01DA7C37.EF9B2A60] The test conditions are pretty simple: [cid:image010.jpg@01DA7C37.EF9B2A60] The only difference between the ports that work and C8 are; it is 10gig fiber and it is a span port...do either of these issues explain why this port is listed as down (only by the checker)??? Thanks in advance! Tony Guadagno O +1 585 577 1003 C +1 585 703 6700 E tonyg(a)guadagnoconsulting.com<mailto:tonyg@guadagnoconsulting.com> [cid:image001.jpg@01D84DD6.FC9912E0]

Capture gaps when retrieving interface traffic data …
by Stefan Schmidt 19 Mar '24

19 Mar '24

Hello! We query with snmp Observium the port data from a Mikrotik router (CCR2004-16G-2S+) with RouterOS 7.14.1 (Level 6) via SNMP from 4 WAN interfaces with polling and alerts. However, we always have gaps in the data. Every now and then 5-10 minutes of data are missing, so that vertical lines without data appear in the rrd - of course this only becomes clear in the 6h overview. We are surprised because we have the impression that it only started on this device (and others) almost a year ago. We therefore renewed the hardware, reinstalled the system (debian12) and only queried this router alone (also deleted the query from the old Observium to avoid parallel double queries). We look at https://.../pollerlog/ and see our patient there: Device Last Polled 10.X.X.1 100% 108.67s (...) and others of the location with 1-19%... Why 100%... where are the key data relevant here? We would be happy if someone could help us adjust the Observium "Poller Wrapper" parameters if necessary. Is there potential for adaptation there? Greetings Frankfurt/Main Stefan

Alert checker conditions
by David Milton 18 Mar '24

18 Mar '24

Hello, I'm attempting to create an alert checker for our router and switch power supplies. I seem to be part way there but am seeing some unexpected behaviour that I cannot explain. I started with the test condition: sensor_event notequals ok and the associations are "or:" Sensor Description match PEM* Sensor Description match Power Supply 0 @* Sensor Description match Power Supply 1 @* Here's a specific device inventory showing PEM 0 status is currently down: It seems the last two associations don't mach anything and for some reason the PEM* association only matches the power supplies that are ok, not the one I want the alert for which is currently down. I've tried to match against "Power Supply" and that matches power supplies in my servers but they don't seem to have a status, more like a current sensor instead. I'm attempting to deal strictly with the power supplies in our Juniper routers and switches and from what I can tell they all have a status/sensor_event state. I think the two "Power Supply 0 @*" associations should also match additional power supplies as shown in the list below taken from the hardware inventory and filtering for a description of Power Supply: Clearly I'm missing something en the alert checker associations but I'll be darned if I can figure out what that is. I've tried to match on MIB as well but nothing seems to match those power supplies. What am I missing here? Thanks, Dave.

jnxVirtualChassisMemberLocation for Juniper Virtual-Chassis
by Laszlo Mazsari 04 Mar '24

04 Mar '24

Hello Observium Team, In our Datacenters we would like to make use of "jnxVirtualChassisMemberLocation" for Juniper switches using Virtual-chassis techhnology. Normally virtual-chassis are in different locations for redundancy reasons. The "snmp location" is not really good to capture the location of the device (as the two switches are in different places but location will show what is configured with "snmp location" command). We updated our switch config with "jnxVirtualChassisMemberLocation" information, but we still dont see the data in Observium. > show snmp mib walk jnxVirtualChassisMemberLocation jnxVirtualChassisMemberLocation.0 = B-U-099 R01.01 jnxVirtualChassisMemberLocation.1 = B-U-098 R01.02 Is this feature on the roadmap to be added? Not sure how much additional work this feature to be added, but going for the Enterprise model may potentially help with this feature request? Thank you for the feedback.
