Dependencies

Hi all, maybe this is a FAQ, but still I can’t find a way to avoid seeing ALL customer devices down, from the outside, if the firewall only is down. I think that it would suffice to define a rule to mask a device status behind a “master” one. Best Luca

Then you can upgrade it and in case of troubles you can simple restore the data from backup (directory or full backup of the system). So you will only loose data that got collected between upgrade process and restore process.

I am not able to login in web interface after new install observium CE 17.9.0
by Cesar Vazquez Moreno 16 Aug '18

16 Aug '18

Hello, After install observium Community Edition 17.9.0 in Centos 7 and Nginx, I am not able to login for first time using web interface. The adduser script added correctly the admin user (also I created 3 more users) with level 10. The weird is there is not record of the action in any log. I did research and found similar issue about 5 years ago where the problem was the disk or partition was full, this is not my case, my / filesystem is 47% and /temp filesystem is 2%. other possibility is the session_start() can have troubles to write, but without log it's only a guess. I want to try set session_save_path() just before session_start() to see if this solve the issue. if you think my idea can work, in what file where should I put the variable? What do you think? any other idea? -- Regards Zague

Slow page generation when using group permissions
by Christian Eriksson 13 Aug '18

13 Aug '18

Hi, When using user level 1 permission with group permission, page generation is very slow. I have a total of 447 devices, where group X has 225 members When a user with permission to group X logs in, the frontpage takes 24s to load(using status_summary/map/syslog/eventlog/). Clicking on a device takes 22s. When an admin logs in, the "same" frontpage takes 0.6s to load Anyone got any tips? Fast userspace caching might work but I just wondered if there is something else to it Observium 18.8.9366 (10th August 2018) OS Linux 4.4.0-130-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 5.7.23-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 (extension: mysqli 5.0.12-dev) SNMP NET-SNMP 5.7.3 RRDtool 1.5.5 (rrdcached 1.5.5: unix:/var/run/rrdcached.sock) Fping 3.13 (IPv4 and IPv6) Regards Christian

Multiple devices, one IP
by Ricardo Franco Cantero 13 Aug '18

13 Aug '18

Hi, We monitor connections (modems) and we want to begin monitoring also devices behind these modems. I know we can add them through port mapping since they're running on the same IP but then our Observium will be filled with green dots. We would like to group them by IP. Is there an option for this? Kind regards, Ricardo Franco

Zoom in, city level
by Ricardo Franco Cantero 07 Aug '18

07 Aug '18

Hi, Is there an option create a zoomed in 'home page' where you can set a specific size of the map? For example, we have our entire county now displaying on the homepage on the map but we would like to see a city only so that we can display this city onto a separate monitor of us. Kind regards, Ricardo Franco Cantero

FortiSwitch Ports Query
by Matthew Goeres 06 Aug '18

06 Aug '18

Hi, I recently upgraded from one of the turnkey appliances to Observium running in a VM on its own running Observium CE 17.9.0. Since that upgrade my queries for ports haven't been completed against my main FortiSwitch. Looking at the poller times the ports module seems to be taking the longest (ports/1,562.4587s/156.25%). Debugging that on the fortiswitch I am seeing the following queries and very high CPU usage on the FortiSwitch (124D running 3.6.6). Is there a way to disable that query specifically rather than ports as a whole? snmpd: <msg> 49 bytes xxxxx:8089 -> xxxxx/xxxxx:161 (itf 32.32) snmpd: checking if community "xxxxx" is valid snmpd: checking against community "xxxxx" snmpd: request 1(root)/32/xxxxx == comm 1/0/0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 snmpd: matched community "xxxxx" snmpd: get-next: OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.17.7.1.4.3.1 : dot1qVlanStaticEntry .4.1964 -> (snmpd: get_last_index_dot1qVlanStaticTable() snmpd: get_dot1qVlanStaticEntry() fld:4 ) -> 0 snmpd: </msg> 1 snmpd: <msg> 49 bytes xxxxx:17885 -> xxxxx/xxxxx:161 (itf 32.32) snmpd: checking if community "xxxxx" is valid snmpd: checking against community "xxxxx" snmpd: request 1(root)/32/xxxxx == comm 1/0/0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 snmpd: matched community "xxxxx" snmpd: get-next: OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.17.7.1.4.3.1 : dot1qVlanStaticEntry .4.859 -> (snmpd: get_last_index_dot1qVlanStaticTable() snmpd: get_dot1qVlanStaticEntry() fld:4 d) -> 0 snmpd: </msg> 1 Thanks, Matt

Re: [Observium] devices' storage does not show up correctly

Hi, In general when using RHEL you have to become proficient at finding lots of non-ancient packages. There are a few places with 5.7.x net-snmp packages for RHEL6, for example: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/23454973/dir/redhat_el_6/com/ne… Note that this is not really our area though, and the development team specifically do not use RHEL/CentOS because they're a nightmare to maintain (ironnically, many people choose them because they think they're easy to maintain, hah!). adam. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Tal Mazor" <tal.mazor(a)radcom.com> To: "observium(a)observium.org" <observium(a)observium.org> Sent: 2018-08-05 14:54:29 Subject: [Observium] devices' storage does not show up correctly >Hi guys, > >I’m getting alerts for high disk usage for some of my servers. > >The alerts are false as my actual partition disk size is 9.6T and total >disk size is 9.9T. > > > > > > > > > >In the Observium.org FAQ I can see the this issue is known for volumes > >16TB, but looks like it’s the same from 10TB. > >I’m running Net-SNMP 5.5 on Centos 6.9 and I was trying to find a later >release but couldn’t. is 5.7 supported only on Centos 7? > > > > > > >Thanks! > > > > >

devices' storage does not show up correctly
by Tal Mazor 05 Aug '18

Hi guys, I'm getting alerts for high disk usage for some of my servers. The alerts are false as my actual partition disk size is 9.6T and total disk size is 9.9T. [cid:image002.jpg@01D42CDC.F7960BA0] [cid:image001.png@01D419E5.810487F0] In the Observium.org FAQ I can see the this issue is known for volumes >16TB, but looks like it's the same from 10TB. I'm running Net-SNMP 5.5 on Centos 6.9 and I was trying to find a later release but couldn't. is 5.7 supported only on Centos 7? [cid:image004.png@01D419E6.3963EED0] Thanks!

Is building groups broken? Can't get it to work.
by Henrik Cednert (Filmlance) 03 Aug '18

03 Aug '18

Hello Running 18.8.9360 (3rd August 2018). Noticed that “groups” have gotten a sweet ass looking upgrade! =))) Nice one! But I have issues when building the groups. Thought it had to do with the “,” and “|” as separator, since that seems to have changed under the hood. So I tried to recreate an old rule and make the new one just like the old one. But when building it i end up at a blank page with the "Building groups memberships” heading. Nothing happens and when I refresh the page no sensors are in the group. Am I missing something? Picture of the old working group and the new one I made. What did I do wrong? [cid:6BC76FC6-6363-4298-A519-392F95B7C800] Old working rule. “|” as separator of hostnames under “association ruleset” but “,” once you enter the edit mode. Is this expeted behaviour? [cid:7E5BC9FB-7903-4C44-9913-9EAAE8A360C9] Cheers and thanks -- Henrik Cednert / + 46 704 71 89 54 / CTO / Filmlance Disclaimer, the hideous bs disclaimer at the bottom is forced, sorry. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Disclaimer The information contained in this communication from the sender is confidential.

multiple pollers and poller-wrapper history
by Christian Eriksson 03 Aug '18

03 Aug '18

Hi, Is it possible to see graphs under /pollerlog/view=wrapper/ for each poller when using poller-wrapper with -g option? All pollers are polling their indivudal host group and putting the rrd's over rrdcached, but as of now the filename is the same, so either they will overwrite the files depending of the rrdcached settings, or nothing will happen if file exists ERROR: rrdcached: RRD Error: creating '/opt/observium/rrd/poller-wrapper.rrd': File exists ERROR: rrdcached: RRD Error: creating '/opt/observium/rrd/poller-wrapper_count.rrd': File exists Regards Christian

Hi guys, Hope someone here can shed some light on my issue with rrdcached and observium. I am using a distributed setup with web/sql/poller on separate machines. Followed the guide here http://blog.best-practice.se/2017/10/scaling-observium-horizontally.html and currently using two pollers with great success overall What I can't seem to figure out is why some rrd files won't get created.

Re: [Observium] ifAlias Description notmatches multiple wildcard issue
by Adam Armstrong 31 Jul '18

31 Jul '18

Use attributes as attributes. You probably don't want to create permanent alert table entries just for this, and it's not time critical. Using attributes to match these non-valid descriptions, an alert table entry would only be created when it's necessary, and then you can just use an unrealistic metric condition to make it always trigger. adam. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Klimek, Denis" <DKlimek(a)Stadtwerke-Norderstedt.de> To: "'observium(a)observium.org'" <observium(a)observium.org> Sent: 2018-07-26 15:01:55 Subject: [Observium] ifAlias Description notmatches multiple wildcard issue >Hi all, > > > >I would like to setup a alert checker which checks configured Ethernet >ports if there is a “valid” Observium port description configured.
