TP-Link switches freeze with new Observium CE
by Attila Nagy 07 Sep '18

07 Sep '18

Hi List! Firstly our appreciations go to the team for the new CE version. Thanks a lot! Now the somewhat bitter part: we updated yesterday evening to the latest CE version and today morning we were confronted with the problem that a few Tp-Link switches have frozen. To be more precise, only the management part was frozen, so the switch was degraded to a dumb non-manageable switch. After reboot the switches return to full function only to freeze again on next SNMP poll. The switches in question are all T1600G-28TS or T1600G-28PS (poor-man's manageable gigabit switches :-)) There is no newer firmware update available for them. They worked perfectly with the previous CE version up until the update. We have other Tp-Link switches which are not affected by the same problem: TL-SG2424, TL-SG2216, TL-SG2008. We tried to narrow down the problem, and it seems that discovery works as it should, the freeze enacts during the polling, more exactly when the ports module runs. Looking at the debug log the following command produces the freeze: /usr/bin/snmpget -v2c -c 'public' -Pu -OQUs -m IF-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp 'udp':'switch-test':'161' ifInMulticastPkts.1 ifOutMulticastPkts.1 ifInBroadcastPkts.1 ifOutBroadcastPkts.1 ifHCInOctets.1 ifHCOutOctets.1 ifHCInUcastPkts.1 ifHCOutUcastPkts.1 ifHCInMulticastPkts.1 ifHCOutMulticastPkts.1 ifHCInBroadcastPkts.1 ifHCOutBroadcastPkts.1 ifInOctets.1 ifOutOctets.1 ifInUcastPkts.1 ifOutUcastPkts.1 ifInNUcastPkts.1 ifOutNUcastPkts.1 ifInDiscards.1 ifOutDiscards.1 ifInErrors.1 ifOutErrors.1 ifInUnknownProtos.1 ifMtu.1 ifSpeed.1 ifPhysAddress.1 ifAdminStatus.1 ifLastChange.1 ifPromiscuousMode.1 ifConnectorPresent.1 From here onward there is no SNMP response from the switch, the SYS LED stops blinking and is frozen in whichever state it was, and there is no network connectivity to the switch (does not respond to ping and the management interface is inaccessible). The dumb switch hardware was still working for some time, but this was inconsistent, some switches have frozen to a complete halt some time after, while others were still working as dumb switches. As these are under constant load we didn't had the time to more thoroughly investigate on them, we restored their functionality and disabled them in Observium. We have one extra hardware that we can put online for testing if needed. My questions would be: - Should I include a full debug log or the above info is enough? - Has anyone met the same problem/has a solution to it? - Can we know what was changed on the above command line, so maybe as a workaround we can disable that single feature? - I suspect this is a firmware issue, but I am not sure (that's why I'm asking here first, here I have way bigger chances to receive meaningful answers compared to Tp-Link's support), maybe somebody can help me narrow down the firmware bug if it is really one. Thank you guys in advance. Best regards, Tylla

Power Outage
by Ricardo Franco Cantero 06 Sep '18

06 Sep '18

Hi, What would be the best way to measure for a power outage? I see that there is a sensor for voltage. Would a Min Warn value trigger it on time to send a alert? Met vriendelijke groet, Ricardo Franco Cantero

Alert my customers

Hi, We monitor our clients through Observium. I wanted to know how I can add individual alert contacts so when a connection of a customer goes down, it sends an alert to us but also directly to the client who's affected. Met vriendelijke groet, Ricardo Franco Cantero

How do you configure Internet traffic Today
by Thomas Steffensen 04 Sep '18

04 Sep '18

Hi, I am not sure if this is the right forum but I need some help with basic settings in Observium. I admit I have very little experience with Observium but a great deal with Solarwinds and The Dude (Mikrotik). On my main dashboard window I have a tab saying Internet Traffic Today. This monitors ports to the internet. However, we have replaced some border router and therefor I need to change which ports are being monitored and I can't seem to figure out where I change this? Can I do this in GUI?

sorting columns in group view?
by Steve Costaras 31 Aug '18

31 Aug '18

Hello- We are running on the stable release chain of observium 18.8.9403 and use groups a lot. I am trying to find out how, or if it's not possible to request the ability to sort via the columns when viewing the group(s). For example in the attached to be able to sort alphanumerically the hostname column; device; or OS; etc. And to set a default 'sort' (say via hostname)? Is this possible? Thanks, Steve

Subgroups under Custom OIDs just like Devices -> Locations
by Silvio del Val Hinojal 31 Aug '18

31 Aug '18

Hello, Would it be very difficult to have subgroups under "Custom OIDs" menu so that I would navigate in web to Home -> Custom OIDs -> <Group of Custom OIDs> -> Custom OIDs ? I don't know if have explained correctly. I only would like to organize my Custom OIDs in groups in menu bar in the web, just like "Devices -> Locations" do, that there are one subgroup for each location. If it's a lot of work for an small improvement, forget about it. I currently group my Custom OIDs by name.

HP Procurve - dot1q and OSFP
by Christian Eriksson 29 Aug '18

29 Aug '18

Hi, 1. dot1Q All interfaces whether they be untagged or tagged, are marked as dot1q in the UI I have attached a debug of a device from the modules "ports" and "vlan"(debug.txt). Also a show vlan <id>(showvlan.txt) to prove that they really are untagged ;) 1. OSPF A lot of devices with no OSPF configuration have a routing button with OSPF in the UI(see attached file OSPF.png). Debug file is also attached(ospf_debug.txt) Output from show command [cid:image001.png@01D43FC7.747651A0] If you think I should open a JIRA case instead, i'll do it Running 18.8.9405 Regards Christian

Hi all, should I change the location of a whole 42U-rack equipments to a new one, does it exist any tool to do it in a single-shot? Or should I operate on the db? (or to uniquely name the racks, but this is another affair) Thanks Luca

Polling times grew a lot upgrading to 18.8.9403 from 18.7.9337

Hello, This morning I upgraded our Observium Pro machines from prior version 18.7.9337 to last 18.8.9403 and, since then, polling times growed by almost 3 or 4 times: [cid:image003.jpg@01D43ED6.AFE37570] I upgraded using "svn update" in our polling machines and "discovery.php -u" to upgrade DB schema. I even tried to activate "$config['snmp']['max-rep'] = TRUE;" with no luck. What should I change to fix this times?

Get more information on Dashboard for Process consumption
by Kaustubh Parthasarthy, CLSA 29 Aug '18

29 Aug '18

I have been using observium for few months now. I wanted some info from the graphs that observium spins off. Following is the graphs for running process consumption: [cid:image001.png@01D43EAC.03C3D610] Can I get something like top 10 process graphs? Let me give you an example, I sometimes get requests from folks asking, "Ok my memory utilization on a server ABC was 90% on this particular day. Can we get list of processes consuming high memory on that particular day ? " So as per this, can I customize the graph to get process level info ?

Dashboards
by Cederlund Tobias 27 Aug '18

27 Aug '18

Hi (...threw the to the list yesterday, but it didn't came through...) A few months ago I noticed the appearance of a "Default Dashboard" under Overview in the menu. There's also a nice "Add to Dashboard" button on graph-pages to add the graph to a dashboard. This seems like a fantastic feature but right now there only the "Default Dashboard". Is it possible add more dashboards? ...and if so, how? I also haven't seen any documentation of this very nice feature. Is there any? We're on 18.8.9355 Best regards, Tobias
