WSL FTW

well how about that. obs runs within the ubuntu of WSL. wouldn’t recommend anything full-blown on it, but perhaps good for demos and the like. me@win10pc:~$ uname -a Linux win10pc 4.4.0-17134-Microsoft #112-Microsoft Thu Jun 07 22:57:00 PST 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux (ref. url https://s15.postimg.cc/kzduf9lij/Screen_Shot_2018-06-19_at_20.40.11.png )

/opt/observium/mibs/DO NOT MODIFY THE CONTENTS OF THIS DIRECTORY breaks my AIDE config
by Hamilton, Kent 14 Jun '18

14 Jun '18

Any chance we could get this changed to "DO_NOT_MODIFY_THE_CONTENTS_OF_THIS_DIRECTORY" instead? It breaks our Ubuntu AIDE config and I haven't found a workaround for it not being an AIDE expert. I've tried sed'ing it out in the Debian auto-configlet (/etc/aide/aide.conf.d/31_aide_observium) but that ends up breaking more things. -- [exegy-wrb-121x52] S.

Troubleshoot/Debug Geolocation?
by Mailing Lists 14 Jun '18

14 Jun '18

Hi Guys, Is there a way to troubleshoot/debug the geolocation system? I thought we were using Google, and it reports that's what is configured, but it seems like in reality the lookups are using Yahoo? Perhaps the Google query is failing due to an issue with the API key, but how could I check this? I couldn't see anything obvious in the normal poller or discovery debugs for geolocation? Screenshot from a device that makes me thing something isn't working Thanks, Tim C

Observium Upgrade process stuck
by Andrey Gorodetzky 13 Jun '18

13 Jun '18

Hello Guys, I'm trying to upgrade (for a second time now) the Observium Community Edition server 14.2 to latest and the progress get stuck on the following for nearly 8 hours now. Followed those instructions: http://docs.observium.org/updating/#upgrade-to-latest-major-release Is there something that can be done here? Should we try to upgrade one version in a time (even if its possible)? Thanks ahead.

Group Editor Interface
by Robert Williams 13 Jun '18

13 Jun '18

Hi all, It may have been there for some time (as this is not frequently modified) but I've found that the group membership editor (Devices->Groups) doesn't seem to recognise historic rulesets which we have for some of our groups. Image below: In this example, the group matches servers with specific combinations of Distro and Version. Interestingly, the group actually continues to work just fine! The only issue is that I cannot make any changes to it with the graphical editor. I've had to update it in the DB (specifically changing one of the version numbers) for Debian, and it continues to show the desired results once the group is rebuilt. >From what I can see, the 'device.distro' and 'device.distro_ver' which we are using, are no longer valid items under 'device' in the GUI. Also, I don't "think" that any of the options there are an appropriate equivalent for this (Operating System is different I believe; and there is no numeric 'version' at all). This I presume is why the editor doesn't know how to handle these existing rules. Is this a quick fix, or the entrance to a rabbit hole? Cheers!

LACP Member Monitoring/Speed Mismatch Alert Suggestion
by Klimek, Denis 12 Jun '18

12 Jun '18

Hi all, i would like ask all of you if someone knows a good solution how to trigger a speed mismatch against the configured link speed. I give you an example: Bundle-Ether1 has a port description of "Core: device [40Gbit] {abc} (notes)". So the bundle should have 40Gbit and I want now to create an alert to trigger a speed mismatch if a member goes down, then Bundle-Ether1 will report its updated speed i.e. 30Gbit and this should be compared and trigger somehow.

No pages after loging in
by Roland Hill 10 Jun '18

10 Jun '18

Hi list, Simple problem statement, as per the subject, I get no pages once I log into Observium. More Background. I'm running CE 17.9 edition and have done sucessfully since it's release. I have however update my OS to Ubuntu 18.04 and PHP-7.2. In searching I saw http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBS-2537 and assume my CE issue is a PHP7.2 related one. Is there anyway I can confirm this is a PHP7.2 issue? This is just on my home network (because I can), so nothing urgent and if the fix is "wait until the next release" then I'm good with that. -- Regards, Roland PGP Key 0xDA39319B = BCF0 1214 BAE9 5A3D 46FC 21A6 360D 9398 DA39 319B

Create a shortcut to a live graph?
by Joe Brouillette 05 Jun '18

Hey all, is there a way to create a shortcut to a live graph in Observium? I've used the "Link to Graph" button but that just creates a static picture of what's going on. I'd like to create a web page with graphs for my manager but those graphs need to display live data. Thanks, Joe Brouillette IT Specialist Link Transit 509.664.7643 jobee(a)linktransit.com<mailto:jobee@linktransit.com>

Cisco ASR9k Optical Levels
by Richard Savage 05 Jun '18

05 Jun '18

Hi Its seems as though Cisco in their wisdom have changed how the power levels are reported for optical SFP’s and they now by default report in mW and not dBm on the ASR9k platform. When observium SNMP’s them its pulling the mW values now and thus its throwing the sensor values off and creating alerts. Can observium be made to change these back to dBm readings using a simple calculation and pull the thresholds as well as before? Calculation: P(dBm) = 10 ⋅ log10( P(mW) / 1mW) This is whats seen on the CLI for the exact same port: Thresholds: Alarm High Warning High Warning Low Alarm Low Temperature: +95.000 C +90.000 C -20.000 C -25.000 C Voltage: 3.800 Volt 3.700 Volt 2.900 Volt 2.800 Volt Bias: 90.000 mAmps 80.000 mAmps 3.000 mAmps 2.000 mAmps Transmit Power: 1.59000 mW (2.01397 dBm) 1.26000 mW (1.00371 dBm) 0.20000 mW (-6.98970 dBm) 0.16000 mW (-7.95880 dBm) Receive Power: 1.26000 mW (1.00371 dBm) 1.00000 mW (0.00000 dBm) 0.01260 mW (-18.99629 dBm) 0.01000 mW (-20.00000 dBm) Temperature: 30.434 Voltage: 3.264 Volt Tx Bias: 33.722 mAmps Tx Power: 0.53550 mW (-2.71241 dBm) Rx Power: 0.22890 mW (-6.40354 dBm) Many Thanks Richard

Alerting association changes
by Adam Armstrong 01 Jun '18

01 Jun '18

Hi Guys, I've just committed some changes to extend the new rule parsing to alerting. At the moment we're just testing it, so it doesn't do an automatic migration (and there's no editing interface yet!) If you're using alerting (and are running the current version, not stable or CE), you can go to /migrate_alerts/ on your Observium installation to see if the rules will work properly when we make the change for real. Nothing will be changed at this point, we just generate the new rules and make sure their outcome matches what's in the database. If you get any errors, send me a screenshot of the page with the queries visible so we can fix it! Oh, and make sure you do an alerting rebuild first! Thanks, adam.

Oracle E-SBC support
by Johnathon Voegeli 31 May '18

31 May '18

Hey guys, Does anyone here monitor an Oracle (AcmePacket) Session Border controller? I see it’s slightly supported, but does not support the ap-SIP function with SNMP. I am trying to get a custom OID to monitor a sip endpoint at least basic monitoring, but was curious if any one had any luck with anything more? I can manually add each OID for SIP Agent status, but it’s a manual process each time we add a customer/endpoint to each cluster and of course only provides a 1, 2, 3. I have it setup to alert on anything other than 3. Thanks in Advance! ~JV
