ifAlias Description notmatches multiple wildcard issue
by Klimek, Denis 31 Jul '18

31 Jul '18

Hi all, I would like to setup a alert checker which checks configured Ethernet ports if there is a "valid" Observium port description configured. I tried it with following conditions "ifAlias notmatches *:*[*Gbit]*{*}*(*)*:*:" but it's reporting any port as "OK". The "::" got added by us for internal purposes. B: POP102-TBA [20Gbit] {} () ::-> get's reported as "OK" which is correct CERRZ2R_C_X670-> get's reported also as "OK" but this is wrong Attached a screenshot of the complete rule set. Any ideas are welcome how to solve this :) Mit freundlichem Gruß Stadtwerke Norderstedt Denis Klimek Professional Network Engineer IP-Systemtechnik Tel: 040 / 521 04 - 1049 Mobil: 0151 / 652 219 06 dklimek(a)stadtwerke-norderstedt.de<mailto:dklimek@stadtwerke-norderstedt.de> www.stadtwerke-norderstedt.de<http://www.stadtwerke-norderstedt.de/>

No feedback on this one ?

Hello, Ive defined several port groups as you can see below : 1° First question I would like to add a condition equivalent to ifOperStatus equals up but this kind of condition doesnt exist in the pre-defined list. Am I missing something ? 2° Second question I would like to use this group in an Alert Checks but in the entity association ruleset, I can use a Device Group but not a Port Group No « Port Group » and if I try to use Device Group I see only groups related to devices Bug of misunderstanding from me ?

QNAP up / down every second poll
by Basile Bluntschli 26 Jul '18

26 Jul '18

Hi All after upgrading a QNAP Device from 4.3.3 to 4.3.4 SNMP works every second poll. Event Log is full with things like: 2018-07-25 12:40:02 nas01 Device status changed to Up 2018-07-25 12:35:08 nas01 Device status changed to Down (snmp) How can I further troubleshoot this? It used to work before for more than a year. Thanks Basile

clearing a "Status Warning and Notification" status on unmonitored object?
by Darrell Budic 25 Jul '18

25 Jul '18

Is there a way to clear the status or data from something I don’t want to monitor anymore? I have a server that I installed bird & bird-snmp on, so observium properly discovered the BGP peers, including a couple of down sessions. Because I don’t want to monitor that on this instance, I went into the hosts settings and disabled the bgp poller and bgp discovery. It no longer updates those statuses, but the down peers are still showing up in the Status Warnings and Notification section on my home page, and the peers are still listed as routing info on the host (out of date now). Hopefully there’s something that can be done besides deleting and re-adding the host to clear those out? Thanks, -Darrell

Syslog suppress
by Luca Sasdelli 25 Jul '18

25 Jul '18

Hi, I've got an issue by suppressing syslog messages upon content. Even by stating the following rule in config.php $config['syslog']['filter'][] = 'action=pass'; I still see messages with the intended phrase inside: id=firewall time="2018-07-25 12:36:32" fw="xxxxxxxxxx" tz=+0200 startime="2018-07-25 12:36:31" pri=4 confid=01 slotlevel=2 ruleid=53 srcif="Ethernet3" srcifname="prod" ipproto=tcp dstif="Ethernet0" dstifname="wan1" proto=ssl src=xxxxxxxxxxx srcport=32827 srcportname=ephemeral_fw_tcp srcname=xxxxxxxxxxxx srcmac=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx dst=xxxxxxxx dstport=443 dstportname=https dstname=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx dstcontinent="eu" dstcountry="ie" modsrc=xxxxxxxxxxxx modsrcport=32827 ipv=4 action=pass msg="Early ChangeCipherSpec" class=protocol classification=0 alarmid=312 target=dst logtype="alarm" This doesn't apply to every message containing the specified string, only to a few of them. Perhaps a message length issue? Best Luca

Port groups unusable in alerts checks ?
by Thibault Richard 25 Jul '18

25 Jul '18

Hello, Ive defined several port groups as you can see below : 1° First question I would like to add a condition equivalent to ifOperStatus equals up but this kind of condition doesnt exist in the pre-defined list. Am I missing something ? 2° Second question I would like to use this group in an Alert Checks but in the entity association ruleset, I can use a Device Group but not a Port Group No « Port Group » and if I try to use Device Group I see only groups related to devices Bug of misunderstanding from me ? Best Regards Thibault

Zoom in, city level
by Ricardo Franco Cantero 23 Jul '18

23 Jul '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

New record?
by Markus Klock 21 Jul '18

21 Jul '18

Hi guys, just wanted to show the new Observium I deployed for a customer this week :) Everything polled from one single server without problems (pollingtime is about 140s for all devices) Big thanks to Mike who helped me identify and fix a scaling issue when running a huge amount of threads. (if you run an Observium-install that runs poller-wrapper with 100+ threads you should check out r9333) /Markus

additional file systems not shown in Observium
by Thomas Stather 20 Jul '18

20 Jul '18

Hi I am using Observium (subscribtion edition 18.1.9011) and want to monitor the file-systems of my servers. This works fine, but i have a VM which has additional filesystems (one local and some via NFS), and they don't show up what shows up is: / /boot /var/lib/docker/overlay what doesn't show up (but exists) is: /var/lib/samba/profiles /mnt/nfs/dept1 /mnt/nfs/dept2 VM OS: Debian 8 Version of net-snmp: 5.7.2.1+dfsg-1+deb8u1+b1 I didn't do any changes to the snmpd.conf on the VM rather than SNMPv3 authentication settings. Does somebody have any hint for me how to fix this?

Re: [Observium] Syslog Integration
by Mike Stupalov 20 Jul '18

Hi Brian, you configured syslog daemon complete at same way in Pro as in CE? You use rsyslog daemon? How to debug syslog receiver (for rsyslog): 1. In Global Setting Edit -> Syslog -> Enable Syslog DEBUG 2. Validate that rsyslog daemon have permissions to write into logs dir: $ ls -l /opt/observium | grep logs 2.a Simple is add write permissions for all: $ sudo chmod 777 /opt/observium/logs 3. restart rsyslog: $ sudo service rsyslog restart 4. Now see debug.*.syslog files in logs dir: $ ls /opt/observium/logs/*.syslog When syslog msg from host received, here will added file: debug.<host>.syslog Where <host> is received hostname by rsyslog daemon, in your case this <host> must be complete same as device hostname in observium server. Inside this log files you will see full syslog messages like this: [2018/03/21 17:51:32 +0300] syslog.php(5563): <host>||4||6||6||sshd[9497]:||2018-03-21 17:51:32|| Received disconnect from 221.194.47.239 port 36596:11: [preauth]||sshd Here also <host> entry as first part of message. If <host> not same as device hostname (I think this is your trouble), than read this docs: http://docs.observium.org/syslog/#match-syslog-hostnameip-with-device > Brian Hilmers <mailto:bhilmers@scripps.edu> > 20 July 2018 at 02:07 > > Hello, > > Our organization recently upgraded from the Community version to > Professional.

Syslog Integration
by Brian Hilmers 20 Jul '18

20 Jul '18

Hello, Our organization recently upgraded from the Community version to Professional. While using the Community version on Ubuntu 16.04 we found syslog integration worked well and setup was easy following the documentation. After purchasing a subscription, we installed Observium on a new Ubuntu 16.04 machine, but cannot get syslog integration to work. I have configured the target machine to send syslog messages to Observium and, using tcpdump, can confirm the Observium server is receiving messages on the correct port from the target with FQDN. However, the Observium web interface show "no syslog entries." What is the best way to diagnose and fix this problem? Brian Hilmers

Alert checker for high memory usage on Linux
by Paludan, Ulrik 17 Jul '18

17 Jul '18

I'm trying to setup a high memory usage alert on Ubuntu Linux hosts. I'm using type entity mempool_perc in alert test 'mempool_perc greater 90'. However mempool_perc reports all memory used, including cache/buffer memory used by Linux, but still available to be released for applications as necessary. So my alert checker generates false alerts as soon as memory usage including cache/buffer exceeds 90%, which it does quit often on most of my servers. How can I setup a memory alert checker for available physical memory below a certain threshold? Observium online guide states: 'On Unix/Linux systems we generate a special "Physical Memory" memory pool entity by calculating memory usage minus buffer and cache. Use this for alerting on Unix/Linux' But not really sure how to use that entity? Is the entity name 'Physical_Memory', does it return result in bytes, percentage ?
